The Jade Emperor and King Model discovered the youngest daughter was missing. The Mother King was very angry when he learned that the Maiden violated the law of heaven, stayed in Humanity and married an ordinary person. She sent the infantry down to bring the Female Officer back.

Nguu Lang's cow knew this and told Nguu Lang about what was about to happen, he did not forget to tell Nguu Lang to take his skin over him and two children could fly to the sky.

After saying that, the cow also died, although it was heartbreaking, Nguu Lang still obeyed the cow's advice, he skinned it and burnt the body of the tree near the house. When Niu Lang arrived home, the sky suddenly became gray and the wind began to scream. The infantryman appeared, broke into the house and took Women's Position.

Thuc Nu knew that she could not escape, she turned her head to look at her husband and tears and said goodbye. Remembering the cow's advice, Niu Lang quickly put on cowhide, put his two children in two baskets and then put it on his shoulders and ran after the Maiden.

He tried to run as fast and fast as he could, but as he approached, just as he was about to reach out and grab his wife, the King Model pulled the brooch and drew a dividing line. Immediately, a large river was created and divided two people.

The river was later called the Milky Way. From then on, Niu Lang Chuc was separated from the river. The Maiden was on this side of the river, and Niu Lang and two children stood on the other side of the river. Day after day, tears rolled down, they looked to the other side of the river, where there were people whom we loved.

The Mother King was finally touched by that common heart, so she agreed to let them meet once a year. That is the 7th of the seventh lunar month. On this night every year, a large herd of ravens will fly to the sky and create a bridge with their bodies, crossing the river of gods, called the O ruler bridge.

Only on that night could Niu Lang and the Maiden be able to cross the Milky Way to come together. Disappointment takes place in the middle of summer when warm weather and greenery are bright. If you listen, you can hear sounds like the whisper of Niu Lang and the Female Maidens confessing their love after a long time of separation.
