Walking to the side of the road and stopping a van in the twilight, the five of us didn't have much strength anymore, and without thinking about it, we jumped into the car.

The driver heard us say that we wanted to "go back to the city", and without saying a word, he took us to a city that extends in all directions with one foot on the accelerator. When we were fully awake from our drowsiness, the old man also pulled the car on the side of the road with one foot of the brake, lit a cigarette, and said:

"Boss! When I arrived, I was in front of Changde City, where did I go? Let's talk about it. ”

Changde? I think it should be in Hunan Province, right? Could it be that we have crossed half of China in a moment and a half, drifting from the border to the interior? I'll go, this kind of error, no one.

For a while, we didn't have time to think about it, so we hurriedly asked the suspicious driver to pull us to a express hotel, and called Uncle Dachuan at the front desk to ask him to transfer the fare to the driver, which sent the stunned face away.

After opening the room, Ah Xia and I were about to rest after taking a shower, Nizi suddenly remembered something, her clear eyes flashed, she grabbed me and said, "Plum! I remembered, in the urban map I saw at the front desk just now, isn't there a 'Wuling District' in Changde City? ”

"yes, what's wrong?" When Leng Buding was caught by her and asked, I was naturally confused.

"Oh, haven't you reacted yet, Wuling City, Wuling, didn't Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" record the story of a Wuling person who strayed into a paradise!" Ah Xia saw that my brain was a little short circuited because of exhaustion, and she was so anxious that she said what she thought of in one breath.

"Oh ~ yes! "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring"! At her reminder, I slammed my head and immediately remembered the ancient text I had studied before. That's right! It does record the beginning and end of a fisherman in the Jin Dynasty who strayed into Taoyuan Village. But what's going on?

"You haven't figured it out yet, have you?" Seeing that I was depressed, Ah Xia couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and continued to explain to me: "Here, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the territory of the Yue Kingdom!" From here to the south, the tribes living in this area are referred to in the "Historical Records" as 'Baiyue'. ”

I see.

Under Ah Xia's explanation, I immediately understood a series of things. It seems that this so-called "Taoyuan Township" does exist more than one in this world. The ancient village of Laoshan used to be; Today, when I got out of the underworld, I passed by too; Perhaps, in this vast southern part of China, there may be thousands more.

These should be the masterpieces of the compassionate Fan Fuzi and Xi Shi, right? After thousands of years of war, there are always some people who can survive the war and return to the Central Plains to recuperate in the prosperous era. Where did they go in those days when natural and man-made disasters were rampant? Some say they were rescued by the immortals, others say they found a paradise. If you had to say it, it's both.

In this way, it also explains in disguise why we would wear a random psychic ancient coin dropped from the altar to wear back to this place thousands of miles away. After all, outside Wuling City, there is also a former residence where the clansmen who believe in Fan Li live in seclusion.

It's just that now that the Taoyuan Village in Santuchuan has been destroyed, even if there is psychic ancient money, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find the real paradise.

That's right! Psychic Ancient Money! Anyway, this time I went in a hurry, and none of the priceless treasures in Taoyuan Village had time to go, but this looked ordinary bronze coin, at that time, just in case, Ah Xia and I each packed a big backpack, and now, with the shadow lantern "Sword Dance Light", lying in the corner of the room.

Now that I think about it, these guys are also antiquities, what if they are valuable? Then the "500 million" debt I owe to Lei Datong will not have a chance to be settled?

Thinking of this, my eyes couldn't help but shine, and I immediately took some photos of the coins and sent them to Uncle Okawa, asking him to help use the relationship of the Jin family to find some buyers.

He is really reliable, Ah Xia and I have just finished making love for a long time, and he has already sent a reply early. It's just that when I saw it, I was so angry that I almost didn't crash out of bed. Seeing this, Ah Xia hurriedly helped me up, picked up the mobile phone that fell to the ground, and took a closer look, only to see that a text message from Uncle Dachuan was displayed on it.

"Xiao Li, Uncle just asked the guy who shipped under the rudder, and everyone said that this ancient coin is not popular, even if it is true, no one collects it, and the xx treasure is only more than ten or twenty yuan a piece at most, and it is also free ......shipping."

I'll go! Lao Tzu fought hard to come back, these two big bags are only worth a thousand dollars?

Forget it, my brother decided to go back and admit his mistake to the director, and continue to go back to the second hospital of the city to be a doctor.

……

The next day, everyone who rested and stopped said goodbye at Changde Airport. Alu first returned to Yanbian with Jin Siniang and Zhengxiong's mother and son, and then went to the border city to take care of the aftermath of Ruan Xiaodao and the blind man.

Ah Xia and I flew directly to Kunming and returned to Nanhua in the afternoon.

In the apartment, looking at the sunset outside the window, the two of us snuggled, and our thoughts couldn't help but recall the warmth and coldness of the people witnessed by this wonderful journey. When I look at the clouds in the sky, I can't help but think, man, is really a strange creature, a life can be between good and evil, a life can really last forever, a mind can carry sentient beings, and an ambition can be comparable to an evil demon......

It can be said that the heart is easy to be cold, the love is difficult to last, and the warmth and coldness are only known to themselves; Flowers are easy to fail, people are difficult to keep, and they can do and cherish. Only by living in the present and cherishing the people around you can live a simple and unpretentious life.

With this in mind, after watching the sunset and returning to the house, the two of us reported to our family the decisions and plans for our wedding.

There is no fanfare, Ah Xia and I are both people who have witnessed life and death, and we just want to accompany each other in a low-key manner. So, after receiving the certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two of us only gathered a few local friends such as Ear, gathered a small table, reported to each other about the recent situation, and set off for the trip. Our plan is to honeymoon first and then go back to our hometown.

As for the itinerary, of course, it is a free trip to the famous mountains of China. After all, the two of us are now enlightened people, and the majesty of the famous mountains and rivers is in our eyes, and we can naturally see more ways than ordinary people. There is nothing more wonderful in the world than being able to travel the beautiful landscapes with your loved ones and breathe the breath of heaven and earth together!

During this period, we received text messages from Jin Siniang and his wife one after another. It was mentioned in the message that after Jin Siniang and Uncle Dachuan sent Zhengxiong, who had ended the holiday, back to South Korea, they accompanied Aru back to the border city. After the three of them took care of the aftermath of Ruan Yunshan and the blind man together, they helped out in Ruan Yunshan's hospital for a while.

The good news is that during this period, Ruan Xiaodao's adopted daughter Ruan Shumei and Alu, who also lost their relatives, were getting closer and closer, and the two cultivated a relationship in helping each other. Uncle Dachuan and his wife naturally saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts, leaving some capital for the two, and after helping them bring the hospital back on track, they went back to Yanbian.

Maybe the two who accidentally got married, should be able to cut off the evil obstacles made by their ancestors, probably.

In addition to being happy for them, Ah Xia and I became more and more interested, and we visited the famous mountains of Wuyue non-stop for several days, adopted the essence of the sun and the moon, and naturally enjoyed the comfortable life of "only envying mandarin ducks and not envying immortals".

Inadvertently, I found that time had flown by, and it had come to the day when I had agreed with my relatives that the new daughter-in-law would pass the door.

After returning to Nanhua, Ah Xia's family also unexpectedly came to several relatives who had not met for a long time, among them, there was a middle-aged woman with a tight figure who wrapped herself tightly in a sunglasses, felt hat and leather coat. Listening to Ah Xia's introduction, she is Ah Xia's aunt who has admired since she was a child, older than Ah Xia's deceased mother, and now works as a consultant in the archaeological association affiliated with a university in the United States.

Her relatives came from afar, and she was still an aunt who grew up watching her grow up, so naturally she had a lot to say to Ah Xia, so I didn't interfere too much. Busy running between my hometown and Nanhua, preparing some trivial matters, I also took the time to go to the Second Municipal Hospital to complete the resignation application submitted by Luo Xiaoli on my behalf. Anyway, my brother is now proficient in looking at qi and vipassana, so let's open a small clinic by myself in the future, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, our medical skills are very good, are you still worried that there are no guests to come to the door?

……

This day is busy like a spinning top, I only hate that the three souls and seven spirits can only live in the body, but they can't be released to resist human hands, and I am also afraid that one is not well controlled, scaring relatives, friends and children. No, I was directing my fellow countryman to set up a drink, but the mobile phone on my waist rang innorantly.

"Hey! Big brother, say it quickly! I'll have a happy event tomorrow, and if you don't have anything important, I'll hang up! "To tell the truth, the moment I heard that this was a courier, I felt the urge to drop my phone! Wait a minute! It's neither Double 11 nor Double 12, I didn't buy anything! But the courier brother has always insisted that the package is mine and wants me to pick it up quickly. I was puzzled when I heard it, and quickly asked him the sender's name, and when I heard it, it turned out to be a big cow!

Big bull national cow Tianyi. It was my roommate in college, who was a science fiction fan, and he once said that his name, the full name of the unfolded was "Bull, the best in the world!" "And according to my seven years of getting along with him in medical college, my evaluation of him can only be - funny! Or to be more precise, a "funny second generation".

My father is a well-known writer, and he didn't look for a job after graduation, so he first went to Hainan for a year of vacation and relaxation, and recently it is said that he went to Europe to study. I'm rubbing, in the era of my father, the guy with the golden equipment who went out was indeed not on the same starting line as the dick silk who went out with straw shoes and cloth armor like us. Unexpectedly, this guy, remember me, it's not easy, it's not easy.

Thinking of this, I had to dial Ah Xia, who was still in Nanhua, and asked her to take the time to help me take the package that Niu Tianyi gave me. After all, to be honest, I'm really curious what this bizarre local tyrant will give me as a gift. What if it's something of value? Wouldn't that brother be developed!

Just thinking about it, Ah Xia's call came. When I picked it up, I immediately froze in place.

"What? A set of books, you say? There is also a postcard, which was sent from Milan, Italy! I'll go, you bastard stingy! What is written on it! I finally stopped the disappointment in my heart, stabilized my emotions, and couldn't help but ask Ah Xia about the content of Da Niu's message.

"Okay. Li Zi, what he said on the postcard was: 'Hey, I wish Brother Li Ang and his sister-in-law a happy wedding!' Happily married! Brothers are shallow in learning, and they can't express their meaning, this is a hardcover version of the bilingual "Three-Body Problem", and I hope that my brothers will laugh and accept - the legendary Niu Tianyi! ’”

I'll you big-headed ghost! Laugh at the fart! We have a seven-year bunk friendship, you have a net worth of hundreds of millions, don't give me a red envelope of 100,000 million, you are embarrassed to do it!

Cease! Cease! Cease! Big Bull, Big Bull, you're a whole brainless sci-fi fan, Lao Tzu is a cultivator, don't worry about you as a mortal!

……

As a result, in fact, I really have to settle accounts with this trouble-loving guy like Da Niu!

Because, on the day of my wedding, I actually found that my fiancée, Ah Xia, who was like a fairy of the Nine Heavens, actually ran away!

And on the desk in my apartment, only the book of the three-body problem that she opened was left? Dark Forest. In despair, I forced back my tears to the bedroom, only to see the book that Ah Xia had not finished lying quietly on the neat desk. On the page I opened, there was a plain writing, the lines of words that made my heart ache:

"The universe is a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun, sneaking through the forest like a ghost, gently brushing away the branches that stand in the way, trying not to make a sound from his footsteps, and even breathing carefully...... He had to be careful, because the woods were full of hunters who were just as stealthy as he was......"

"If he finds another life, whether it is a hunter or not, whether it is an angel or a devil, whether it is a delicate baby or a faltering old man, whether it is a fairy girl or a god-like man, there is only one thing he can do: shoot and destroy the ......"

"In this forest, others are hell, an eternal threat, and any life that reveals its existence will soon be wiped out."

I suddenly remembered that it was exactly what a person said to Ah Xia.

Linda. Tomb Hunter East White
