Unexpected end of the Story
The queen of heaven found out their story and ordered the weaver girl back to heaven for trial. The cowherd couldn’t accept that his wife and children were separated. The cowherd was in a hurry and took the two children in two baskets to catch up. They were running, flying and soon caught up with them. The queen of heaven pulled out her golden hairpin and drew a wide Milky way among them. Since then, Niulang and Zhinu could only stand at the two ends of the Milky way and looked at each other from afar.
Their faithful love moved the magpies, and countless magpies came to build a colorful bridge across the sky river with their bodies, so that Cowherd and weaver girl could meet on the sky river. The queen had no choice but to allow Niulang and Zhinv to meet on the magpie bridge once a year on July 7. After that, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, thousands of magpies would fly to build a long magpie bridge on the Milky way to reunite the Niulang and Zhinu family.
