Russian folk story: St. Alex's wife

the vast russian land breeds many brave and mighty warriors.

however, the best and most skilled man known to the people is siotogor.

as soon as he stepped on his horse, it was as if a storm was coming, a thunderstorm would be thundering and lightning would tear the sky apart.

his horse can spray fire and sulfur smoke from his nose.

and when he steps on the grass, the earth trembles beneath his feet.

s.

otogor crosses the fields, the trees in the forest bend to the ground and rivers spill over the banks.

he therefore lived alone in an empty house in the holy mountain.

so they call him s.

otogor, which means "the holy mountain." siotogor's heart is very bitter, and he always thinks, "why do i have to live alone in the mountains?" why can't i talk to anyone? why am i so strong? i must go all over the world and reveal this secret.” he rides out to russia, and on the way he meets a lonely traveler.

he was wearing a black velvet coat, with soft moroccan boots on his feet and a small purse on his shoulder.

he said to s.

otogor, "do you want to know your future fate?" siotogor, of course, answered in the affirmative, and the traveler went on to say, “so you go to the first crossroads ahead, turn left, and head straight north.

at the foot of the north mountain, you will see a big tree under which there is a blacksmith's shop, where a blacksmith lives, and he will tell you." after they said goodbye to each other, s.

otogor took the road.

he ran on horses for two days and two nights, on the third day, to the foot of the north mountain covered with snow.

there was a big tree in front of him, and there was a blacksmith's shop under it.

he jumped off the horse, tied it to a tree and went straight into the blacksmith's shop.

the blacksmith was on his knees at the time and struck two thin hairlines with a hammer.

"what are you doing, blacksmith?" the blacksmith replied, "i'm melting two hairs.

these two hairs are the fate of s.

otogor and that of his fiancée, and when it's a success, he's no longer a bachelor." "well, where do i find my fiancée?" s.

otogor asked him.

“in a cabin in the capitol.

she's a poor girl who's had a serious illness, who's been bedridden for 30 years, and who's covered in septs, and it's the woman that otogor is marrying." "no, i will never marry her.

i don't want to live like this!" the blacksmith said, “no one can separate these two hairs when i've put them together, even on the fastest horse you can get away with.” s.

otogor immediately ran out of the blacksmith's shop, jumped on a horse and ran away.

in a short time, he found the cabin.

he saw a poor little bed in the corner of the room, where a skinny girl with leprosy was lying.

that's the visionOtogor's afraid of being cool.

He approached quietly and touched the young woman with his sword to see if she was still breathing.

She groaned softly from her sleep and slowly woke up.

S.

Watogor threw a wallet with 500 rubles on the table, turned around and ran out of the cabin, jumped on the horse and flew back to the holy mountain.

Soon after the young woman had been touched by his blade, she had had a magical effect, lying in bed for 30 years and now getting up, and the skin swallowed by the virus had been skinned like a snake.

At night, when her parents came to her house, they couldn't believe their eyes: They saw a wallet full of gold coins on the table and a very beautiful young woman sitting at the table.

The young women used the money to buy back some commodities and sell them to the market.

She sells, buys and sells, becomes richer every day.

She's beautiful and she'll soon be known for her beauty.

S.

Otogor also heard people talking.

He wants to see it for himself.

He went to a dock by the sea, where he saw the beautiful young woman.

He immediately fell in love with her and the young woman was equally fond of him.

So they got married.

At the wedding, the groom saw a long red wound on the bride ' s neck.

And I said, "What about this scar?" She said, "I've been sick for 30 years and I can't move in bed.

Then one day, a man came to my house, put a wallet full of gold coins on my desk, touched me with his blade, and it turned out to be a miracle that my illness became incurable and became what you now saw.” So Siotogor understood what the blacksmith said.

He had the power to move the mountain, but he had no strength to break the line of destiny, and even on the fastest horse he could not escape the arrangements made for him by the God of Destiny.

After the marriage, Stogor and his wife returned to the holy mountain, where they lived happily together and never separated。
