Chapter 18: The Elves Under the Moon
"Come on, stewed chicken with green onion and ginger."
A few people were in a hurry, helping to vacate a place on the table, a total of six dishes, two meats, two vegetables and one soup, as well as a plate of bagged peanuts brought by the fat man, and a bottle of Wuliangye that was just opened yesterday.
The wine was full, and the five of them sat up straight with joy.
"Ahem."
Graphite took the lead in raising his glass, "Everyone, it's better to meet by chance, let's have a toast together for this chance encounter!" ”
He raised the cup in his hand, a rare smile on his face, "Here, cheers!" ”
Everyone stood up unconsciously, smiled happily, and happily clinked glasses everywhere with their glasses.
For a moment, the atmosphere was ignited by a "jingle bell".
Lan Ke'er was the shortest in the crowd, but her voice was the loudest, crisp but not dry: "It's dry!" Done! Done! ”
Yun Mo also rarely showed his true face, smiling, delicate, and lightly opened: "Cheers!" "The sound was not loud, like the tinkling of spring water.
Needless to say, the fat man is a hero of the wine country at first glance, showing the signboard of his belly, and he is very arrogant, "Come on, do it, I wish the two beauties eternal youth, and I wish the two gentlemen a fortune and a fortune!" ”
Although he didn't rhyme much, and he was rustic, he still sounded joyful and comfortable.
Several people laughed at him.
……
"Come, try to see how my craftsmanship is, this stewed local chicken with green onion and ginger, it is actually very simple to make, don't make a mistake in a few processes, you will see it at a glance, the most critical part of this dish is the ingredients, fresh local chicken, tender and delicious and elastic, come, you try it."
As the owner, graphite naturally wants to do his best to be a landlord, and he consciously distributes vegetables for the four of them, and they all sandwich a piece of chicken and send it to their respective bowls, Lan Keer is generous, Yun Mo thanked him lightly, and the fat man and Ye Tianyu pushed it.
"Brother, you ......, you're too polite......"
"This is my favorite since I was a child, eat it while it's hot, taste it."
Graphite held his chopsticks and looked at them with bright eyes.
Lan Keer's monkey-like temperament accidentally burned his mouth, "Oh! After a while, he kept exhaling, Yun Mo leaned his head over and whispered, "You can't eat slowly, and no one is robbing you, really." ”
Lan Ke'er pursed her lips, glanced at his sister and quietly pretended to be weird, completely forgetting that she was the one who was the sister.
Yun Mobai glanced at her and shook her head slightly, as if it was not strange that two people with completely different personalities had become good girlfriends, which was really a bit strange.
Yunmo looks very gentle and delicate when eating, she pinched the chicken leg with the orchid finger in one hand, gently held it with chopsticks in the other hand, lowered her head and bit lightly and pinched her thin lips and chewed carefully, the action could not be elegant, but it seemed to be natural to her, the skin on her face was as crystal clear as snow, and a few fine hairs on the sideburns were still faintly visible, which looked Chu Chu moving.
The fat man first praised: "Well, it's really good! Not bad......" He gave a thumbs up to the graphite, nodding his head in praise and raising his glass, "Come, brother, let's go." "The glass is one of those three-ounce glasses, and if it's full, it's two taels.
Graphite also picked up his wine glass, he didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, he has never been a good drinker, but he is a sentimental person, so in the past, he was often drunk when he drank, or he drunk himself, so now he doesn't talk much, and when he touches the fat man, he drinks it all, and there is not a drop left.
"Ahem, ahem!"
The strong stimulation of the liquor made him can't help but tilt his head and lower his head, clench his fists, and cough lightly twice.
Two glasses of 56-degree liquor entered his belly, as if burning, and soon smeared two mellow red on his pale face.
The fat man smiled and probed over, and said with concern: "Brother, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, I'm in a hurry." Graphite waved his hand.
Soon, he felt something strange in his abdomen, so he unconsciously consciously perceived and probed into it.
It turns out that the strengthening cells of the body come into play at this time, and the cells that make up the digestive system are afraid that alcohol is regarded as some kind of toxic substance, and quickly decomposes the alcohol, converting it into water and some beneficial nutrients, and the feeling of burning is also rapidly subsiding, compared with snake venom, alcohol can only be pediatric for them.
The human body is a complex and complete living system, which is composed of about 40-60 trillion single cells, all cells are divided from the initial cell, that is, the fertilized egg, and the process of life is an unimaginably vast project.
Originally, graphite, like any ordinary person, had its own cells, updating and iterating at an average rate of every 2.4 years, but now, his body has been added to the cell body of the star spirit, and these magical cell bodies from alien planets are not only staying in his body for some mysterious reason, but also fusing to replace his original carbon-based single cell, in other words, in addition to the soul or the original soul, his body cells have been strengthened and replaced by iron-based cell bodies.
Now, the strengthened cells have exerted miraculous abilities, but they have not changed the original complete human life system at all, he still feeds on carbon-based food, making the caloric energy needed by the body, or can he also try to feed on metal?
A thought popped into Graphite's head, and then immediately felt ridiculous.
Looking at the other four people sitting at a table, there was a feeling of sitting on pins and needles.
……
The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.
Opposite the old house of graphite is Jinyan Mountain, which is one of the main destinations of the fat man and their trip, and another famous scenic spot in Yanling Village is the "Red Army Road", as one of the vertical and horizontal mountains of Fujian, it was also once a place where guerrillas and the Red Army haunted, so a stone road through the mountains near Yanling Village has become a famous tourist destination today.
The fat man wanted a guide who was familiar with the place, so naturally he invited Graphite to accompany him tomorrow, and re-walking the Red Army Road was another purpose of their trip.
"Actually, it's easy to find, there are some street signs in the village, it's really hard to ask the villagers and it's easy to find......" Graphite refused, because he wanted to calm down and think about something.
But I couldn't bear the hospitality of a few people, especially Lan Keer's sentence: "Are you worried that we won't give you a tour guide fee?" He couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to agree.
……
It's eleven o'clock at night.
The room fell silent......
Graphite took a hot shower and turned off the lights in all parts of the house, leaving only one aisle light for night lighting.
Outside the house, the autumn moon is hanging high at this time, and the silver-white moonlight is quietly sprinkled in the courtyard and in front of the hall, as if a thin layer of silver frost has been spread on the earth, like the world in a fairy tale.
Graphite was stunned by what he saw.
He walked out of the hall lightly, came to the courtyard, and strolled under the ginkgo tree, and sat down gently on the long stone bench, so that he was in a fairy tale.
He sat there quietly, with the vast sky above his head, and the stars in the sky, at this moment, his heart was calm, and for a moment, graphite felt as if he had become a million, blending into this quiet world, with no self, no joy, no sorrow, no thought, and five delusions......
People his age shouldn't have these strange thoughts.
However, he is a thoughtful and hard-working person by nature, and he has suffered various life changes repeatedly, and he has encountered unbelievable alien life, so he naturally seems more mature and thinks more than his peers.
His mind sank into his own world, forgetting things and himself, like an old monk who had fallen into meditation.
"Uh-huh!"
I don't know when, Yun Mo didn't even sleep and walked out of the house, and saw the graphite on the stone bench not far away, motionless like a stone man, she wanted to turn around and enter the house, but she couldn't help but feel a little curious.
She walked across the yard to the ginkgo tree, and hummed behind the graphite.
Her "mmmmm" turned the stone man into a living person.
The living man turned his head and saw that it was her, so he smiled faintly at her, "Still not sleeping?" ”
Yun Mo looked at the hazy distant mountains, "Didn't you sleep either?" The autumn moon is particularly bright tonight, Yun Mo rarely sees this kind of moonlight in the mountains and fields in the city, she is beautiful by the world under this moon!
She took a few steps forward gently, her feet stepped on the soft and yellow grass under her feet, the night breeze was gentle, cold and refreshing, she tightened the collar on both sides with both hands, and unconsciously put her hands in front of her chest, as far as her eyes could see, those lush trees were covered with silver moonlight, like silver snow.
There was a string in her heart, and suddenly it was gently plucked, and she was swept away by the strange sight and sultry moonlight in front of her.
She suddenly remembered that there was another person behind her, she rarely spent so much time alone with the opposite sex, but for a moment now, she almost ignored his presence, this person seemed to be a part of the world under the moon, as if her own arrival had awakened him.
Suddenly, for the first time, she really noticed this person, who seemed to have no sense of existence.
Among the opposite sex she has come into contact with, when everyone sees her, their eyes will more or less shine, most of the men are lustful, judging people by their appearance, she knows this very well, and she is not surprised, but the strange thing is that she suddenly realized that from beginning to end, this person looks at her like an ordinary person, his gaze is always so plain, it seems that he will never be shocked.
Am I not beautiful enough? Yun Mo thought to herself.
She quickly dismissed this idea, maybe he had a physical problem himself, and he couldn't be gay, right? She thought to herself.
As a result, an incomparable curiosity and gossip arose in her heart, as well as a small strong heart.
She turned her head and smiled, unconsciously exuding her feminine charm, and she walked slowly on the grass with her legs outstretched, like dancing steps on the dance floor.
"Why did you run back to your hometown alone? Isn't Summer Harbor good? The sound she had specially fine-tuned was like heaven, especially on a night like this, and under the moon like this.
Even the words she said and the questions she asked didn't look like her usual tone and habits, and she was never used to taking the initiative to talk to a young person of the opposite sex.
Graphite's eyes have been looking at this "elf" under the moon, only a beautiful woman will become a fairy under the moon, she is undoubtedly the best among beautiful women, let alone dancing under such moonlight.
The autumn moon and stars, the mountains and ginkgo, the elves dancing under the moon, and the ubiquitous silver frost cover the four fields.
