Wang Jin arrived home and prepared to wash and sleep. As soon as I touched my pocket, my slingshot was gone, which was a very important thing. As soon as Wang Jin thought about it, he felt that it must have been lost in the crescent moon. So, put on his clothes and ran to the crescent moon. Even if you find the dawn, you have to find the peachwood fork slingshot.

On the way to the crescent moon, Wang Jin kept searching around, keeping an eye on whether it was lost in a corner. Until the place where I was chatting with Cao Bald just now, I saw that there was a person sitting in the place where the two of them did just now. I wanted to walk over and ask, did I see anything, the closer I got closer, the more I felt that the figure of the person was so familiar, and a few meters forward, Wang Jin stopped. Sitting on the stone by the river was a girl, it was Li Zhilan.

Li Zhilan didn't move, just looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Wang Jin was about to turn around and leave, but Li Zhilan suddenly opened her mouth and said only two words to Wang Jin: Coming? As he spoke, he put something on the stone beside him. This Wang Jin and Li Zhilan grew up together since childhood, and Li Zhilan could hear him from Wang Jin's footsteps.

Wang Jin saw the slingshot next to Li Zhilan, hesitated for a moment, picked it up and put it in his pocket, and sat down to look at the moon in the sky without speaking.

It has been almost half a year since the last time the two were alone. In the days after learning the news of Zhilan and Sambo's marriage. In Wang Jin's mind, he had rehearsed countless times in advance, and the scene of this meeting. He has too many questions to question this girl who has grown up with him since he was a child and has been cared for for for more than 20 years. Ask her what reason she can have to change what everyone has already believed, that is, to become my Wang Jin's wife.

For this meeting, Wang Jin didn't know what time and place it would be, and what he and Zhilan would be like at that time. It's just that he can't figure it out, but what he must figure out is that the only person in the world who can be as close as his mother, what is wrong with her head.

For this reason, he bought a notepad and carefully analyzed and recorded the mistakes made by Zhilan. recalled all the kindness he had to Zhilan since he was a child, and 100 questions he needed Zhilan to answer in person. In particular, Wang Jin's level of diary writing is very bad, but the record of this record of Zhilan's error is very detailed. Think about who isn't? When you complain about others, you are always running away from yourself.

There are many, many things I want to say to Zhilan, as well as the comparison between myself and the Three Treasures. However, at this point, these are completely useless. Zhilan didn't even have to say anything to command her to sit down. Wang Jin knew what he would do, and Zhilan also knew that Wang Jin would definitely do what she thought.

The two of them didn't say anything, they didn't need to say anything, they just sat like this, and they sat like this until the sea was dry, which should be the most perfect ending.

In the end, it was Zhilan who spoke first, she held her round face with her hands, looked at the moon in the sky with two eyes, and said to Wang Jin: Brother Wang. With this opening, Wang Jin's heart was about to break when he heard her call herself like this again.

Zhilan: You can see that the moon in the sky is so round, it is exactly the same as what we saw when we were young. I remember when I was a child, my grandmother always took the two of us to Crescent Bay to tell us stories, do you remember?

Wang Jin snorted, thinking of Zhilan's grandmother, who was a very kind old lady in the countryside. Zhilan: I remember that at that time, the most grandma told us was the "Chang'e to the Moon". Later, she was gone, and it was all Brother Wang, you told me. Now, I'd love to hear you tell me again.

Wang Jin recalled this story that he hadn't seen in his mind for many years, so he opened his mouth to tell it. Due to the current restrictions on local slang, the story is only roughly described as follows:

Legend has it that in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky, they took turns to come out every day, shining warmly on the earth, but one day, the ten suns appeared together, and in an instant the earth was roasted by ten suns to smoke, and everything was almost dried up, when Taikang of the Xia Dynasty reigned, there was a warrior named Hou Yi who was good at archery, with his divine bow, shot down nine suns in one breath, and the earth regained its former vitality, and later Hou Yi became a tyrant, Chang'e was his wife. In order to live forever, Hou Yi specially went to the Queen Mother of the West to ask for the medicine of immortality, he took the medicine back and told Chang'e, but Chang'e stole the medicine and flew to the Moon Palace. Later, when people learned the news that Chang'e went to the moon and became an immortal, they put incense tables on the table and prayed for auspiciousness and peace to the kind and beautiful Chang'e; Since then, the custom of worshipping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people.

And Chang'e lives alone in the Guanghan Palace, accompanied only by a jade rabbit.

Wang Jin is talking about his grandmother's version, in which the Xia Dynasty Taikang and tyrants and other contents, Wang Jin still doesn't know. He would rather only listen to the version told by his grandmother for the rest of his life, Hou Yi looks at the moon in the sky every day, looks at the Guanghan Palace, looks at the Guishu and the Jade Rabbit and misses his wife.

Zhilan was fascinated by this, and suddenly asked softly: Then why did Chang'e steal the elixir? When I was a kid, I didn't even think about it. Leaving her most beloved person, she is immortal, what is the point of living?

Wang Jin replied to her like this: At that time, she didn't know that if she took medicine, people would fly. I can't go back to the world. She knew that she was a mortal, so she wanted to live forever, but she didn't know the price at the time. Women are stupid, this conclusion Wang Jin finally did not say.

Zhilan was silent for a long time, and sighed: I don't know what the moon in the sky began to shine on the people on this earth at night, and I don't know how many generations have been on this earth, like grandma, told us the story of "Chang'e running to the moon". The most beautiful story when I was a child, when I grew up, I will find that it can only be an unattainable fantasy. Immortals can fly, doesn't Chang'e know? After all, it is impossible for Hou Yi and Chang'e to love each other forever.

When Wang Jin heard Zhilan say this, he felt very uncomfortable, and his words were a little too angry: If you want to blame, you can only blame Chang'e herself. It wasn't her own fault that she ended up here.

Zhilan turned her head and looked at Wang Jin, her eyes contained too many things, but how could this stupid brother understand? So, Zhilan said: I think all men in the world will think like this. From ancient times to the present, how many men look at Chang'e are the same. Chang'e is beautiful, but after all, she is an uninformed woman. But there are a few men who can really understand Chang'e's heart. You men, you always feel that you know everything, but in fact, you are all children.

Wang Jin has never been able to talk about this sister, she will always put forward some crooked reasoning, and even coquettishly let Wang Jin do this and that. Although Wang Jin knew that Zhilan knew that she was unreasonable at that time, as long as she smiled happily at the end, Wang Jin felt that it was worth the hard work. However, at this time, Zhilan's eyes were full of sadness. She's gained a lot of weight lately, and it should be good to come to Sanbao to treat her. It's just that you have chosen someone else, but you may not be able to be happy, what is the difference between this suffering and Chang'e.

What Wang Jin didn't expect was that Zhilan turned her head to look at the moon again, as if she had seen Chang'e's mournful figure: Chang'e, she lived in the Guanghan Palace. She was never sad, because she had been waiting, and Hou Yi came to the Guanghan Palace to pick her up. At that time, when she took the medicine, she didn't plan for Hou Yi to see it, she wanted to surprise him, it wasn't stealing. I flew up and slowly left the ground, flying higher and higher, so scary. She has never regretted it, and she is only happy. She didn't know where she would fly, but she was dead, and she was also her most beautiful in Hou Yi's impression. What's more, her husband Hou Yi is the number one hero in the world. He can shoot the sun down, and he can get the Queen Mother to give medicine. He was supposed to ask for medicine for his wife because he loved her too much. Others said that Hou Yi's elixir was for himself, and that was jealousy of them. But in Sister Chang'e's heart, she always felt unworthy of her husband. I will be old, I will become ugly, if I don't take the elixir, after all, one day Hou Yi will not love himself and fall in love with others. Can you men understand this? It was originally Sister Chang'e's own medicine, even if it wasn't. What a great person Hou Yi is, does her wife still use her mouth to ask him for something? The so-called stealing medicine, the so-called loneliness are all nonsense, and they are all imposed on her by your men. How do you know that Chang'e is still in heaven waiting for her husband to arrive?

Wang Jin slowly narrated Zhilan, and then interjected: But Hou Yi can't fly, and there is no elixir. Therefore, in the end, he still couldn't go to the Guanghan Palace.

Zhilan shook her head resolutely: That's Hou Yi's business, but what does it have to do with Chang'e? You can shoot the sun down, and there's nothing in the sky that can't be done. Hou Yi must have told Chang'e that he was omnipotent. But when something happens, it all depends on the woman.

At this time, Wang Jin had nothing to say all of a sudden. He had to admit that he could hear what Zhilan was saying, but he really didn't understand it. To be honest, I don't really understand women.

At this time, Zhilan changed the topic and said to Wang Jin: Hou Yi also has things that can't be done, Brother Wang, don't take any more risks to catch snakes.

Zhilan grew up walking around the Wang family when she was a child, and she also met Wang Jin's grandfather and father. More about the snake hunting of the Wang family than outsiders. In addition, although Zhilan is petite, her personality has been like a boy since she was a child. So, since I was a child, I also know a lot about the things that boys play. It's just that how she knew that she was catching poisonous snakes, this Wang Jin didn't know. However, it didn't take half a second for him to understand. Han Ergouzi, this Ergouzi, I can't beat you when I go back.

Zhilan is still persuading Wang Jin: We countrymen have been born in this remote place all our lives. Destiny has long been determined. Brother Wang Jin, you alone can't change anything. It's just that if you have to come hard, you can only suffer yourself in the end. Thinking about the scene when he saw Wang Fu being bitten to death by a snake and Wang cried, this brought too much harm to Wang Jin, so he couldn't help but say no more.

Wang Jin has experienced too many problems recently, although he knows that what Zhilan said is for his own good, but how can a man's naturally strong character and the feeling of being hurt on his face make him bear. He took out the slingshot in his pocket and shot several steel balls at the moon on the water. Only smash the moon in the water, and say: I just won't accept my fate. What's wrong with people in poor places, people in poor places can also earn money and make a lot of money by their skills. I swear, I, Wang Jin, must let the people of this "Medicine King Valley" live a good life in my life. Every family has a car and a building. Zhilan, you wait and see, if this thing can't be done, I will let the most venomous snake bite, and I will not die.

Wang Jin was angry there, unguarded, a familiar man behind him snorted, but it was Sanbao's voice.

Zhilan sighed, and when she looked back, she didn't know when he came. Just ask Sambo: Why are you here? Wang Jin didn't look back, he just looked at the sparkling water, he didn't want to see the face of the turtle grandson Sanbao. Sanbao said to Zhilan: I see that you don't come back for a long time, it's too late, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so I came out to look for you.

Zhilan looked at Wang Jin, and couldn't continue to say a lot of words in front of Sanbao, so she got up and walked towards Sanbao.

Wang Jin saw that the three treasures were coming, Zhilan was about to leave immediately, and he really wanted to turn around immediately with a steel ball, and put the three treasures down. At this time, he was just holding back his anger, and his hands were already trembling, but fortunately, he couldn't see the three treasures in the dark. Originally, San Bao took Zhilan and left, so there would be nothing to do. However, Sambo also has a backbone in his heart. Zhilan came over and grabbed her arm, ready to pull herself away, the more anxious she went, the more awkward Sambo felt. He suddenly wanted to talk to Wang Jin about his heart, and felt that if he left at this time, Zhilan's heart would still stay in this crescent bay in the future.

These three treasures are the same as Zhilan, since he was a child, he has been behind this Wang Jin's buttocks, this is the first time he has mustered up the courage to confront Wang Jin head-on: You say, let the "Medicine King Valley" every family live a good life, every family has a car, a building. You really don't have to worry about this, listen to Zhilan's words, don't toss the snake. If you put your life on the line, you won't change anything.

Although these words were said to persuade Wang Jin, when they reached Wang Jin's ears, it simply became a completely different meaning. This includes a contempt for oneself, but also a full of doubts about the craftsmanship passed down from one's ancestors. Wang Jinren didn't speak, his body had moved. By the time the words "you fart" came out, the person had already come to the front of Sanbao, and the two of them were almost on their heads.

Sanbao is much shorter than Wang Jin's size, only to the height of Wang Jin's chest. At this time, he raised his head and did not look afraid at all. Zhilan saw that something was going to happen, so she pulled away Sanbao and stood between the two. Wang Jin saw that Zhilan actually cared for the Three Treasures, and his heart shattered the five-flavor bottle, and his fists were clenched so that he could hear the crisp sound of the joints. For a long time, I was angry and only said one "you".

Sanbao said politely: Now the strategy of combining national construction and urbanization has long been finalized. What you said, in less than two years, our village will be realized. As for how to invigorate the economy, it is necessary to sell two snakes and get some snake poison. Do you think you can make 100 families in our village richer? That's naïve. To tell you the truth, in the second half of this year, there will be big changes in our village. The township has decided to carry out a comprehensive commercial transformation of our village, and will use our village as a transit station to drive the surrounding townships to invigorate the economy. Establish a complete commercial industrial chain with warehousing and logistics distribution center as the theme and commercial trade as the backing. Then you can look at it, and we will be able to see 20-story high-rise buildings in our village next year...... The Three Treasures have to go on.

Wang Jin interrupted him and asked: What about the people in the village?

Sambo didn't even understand what he meant: what to do. At that time, the national demolition policy will allow every family to have millions of demolition fees to buy a car and a house.

Wang Jin didn't sound right: What about the surrounding natural environment? What about the animals on the mountain, the fish in the water. The Three Jewels said, "You might as well say what about the snake." Or what about your royal family's snake medicine. There will definitely be no snakes, and without snakes, your snake medicine will naturally be useless. Besides, your royal family's snake medicine is already useless. Now they are all antivenoms of Western medicine, and those backward and unhygienic Chinese medicines should have been thrown away a long time ago.

The more Zhilan listened to Sanbao's words, the more thorny she became, and every sentence was pierced into Wang Jin's mind. It seems that you can't escape this fight, Sanbao. How did they know that Wang Jin's concern now was not about these two people and their own personal grievances. Wang Jin: What you say about the township plan also depends on the opinions of the villagers. I don't believe what you said, the township leaders made a decision without asking the people below? I believe that the people of our village have lived in this valley for many generations. It doesn't have to be that if you want money or a building, you don't want your hometown.

Sanbao listened and waved his hand: I won't tell you, just look at it. Anyway, the location matter is here in my three treasures. It's not nice to say. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand from west to south, and then turned to east, drew a semicircle, and said, "I let this Moon Valley disappear from this earth next year, and it will have to disappear for me."

Wang Jin didn't know how to get home, he fell asleep on the bed in a daze. In the dream, he dreamed of his grandfather, Zhilan's grandmother, the palace of the Moon Palace, a lot of high-rise buildings, a dream of a congested highway full of cars, and he was sick.
