这是一颗神奇的药丸 This is a magical pill
它可以给不会说话的人说话 It can give speech to someone who cannot talk
但效果只持续一天 But the effect only lasts for one day
然而这一颗药丸 Yet this single pill
让一个怪物失去了整整一个世纪的力量 Cost a monster an entire century of power
因为它欠了一个人类女孩的人情 Because it owed a debt to a human girl
十年前 Ten years ago
鸟妖 A bird demon
虚弱和受伤 weak and injured
掉进了女孩的篮子里 fell into the girl’s basket
它以为她会伤害它 It thought she would harm it
而是 But instead
她为它撑起一把伞 she held up an umbrella for it
从那一刻起 From that moment on
它对她产生了深深的好奇 It became deeply curious about her
当它悄悄地跟着她回家 When it quietly followed her home
它发现这个女孩是哑巴 It discovered that the girl was mute
她的母亲和姐姐早已去世 Her mother and sister had long passed away
她父亲在城里找到了一份养马的工作 Her father had found a job in the city caring for horses
并打算很快和她一起搬家 And planned to move with her soon
鸟妖加入了她的新旅程 The bird demon joined her on this new journey
它可以帮她提水桶 It would help her carry water buckets
在她身边打扫房子 Clean the house by her side
甚至还能在她绊倒时给她缓冲 And even cushion her fall when she tripped
就像这样 And just like that
十年过去了 ten years passed
这个女孩已长成一个优雅的年轻女子 The girl had grown into a graceful young woman
鸟妖注意到了 The bird demon noticed
她经常安静地坐在角落里 She often sat quietly in a corner
暗中监视着年轻的主人——约翰 Secretly watching the young master of the house—John
它理解她的感情 It understood her feelings
但我没办法帮她 But had no way to help her
直到有一天晚上 Until one night
她的父亲带着消息回家： Her father came home with news:
他为她安排了一桩婚事 He had arranged a marriage for her
一旦这家人找到了一个人来代替她的工作 Once the household found someone to replace her work
她要回老家结婚 She would return to her hometown to wed
她的父亲没有注意到她的眼泪 Her father didn’t notice the tears
她低下头就躲起来了 she hid when she lowered her head
但是鸟妖看到了他们 But the bird demon saw them
它不想让她带着遗憾生活 It didn’t want her to live with regret
所以它做了一个选择 So it made a choice
燃烧百年的耕耘 To burn a hundred years of cultivation
就为了给她一天说话的机会 Just to give her one day of voice
