Moon Lake.

Located at an altitude of 1,278 meters above sea level, on Mount Kirgo, 40 kilometers west of Moon Town, with an area of about 1.5 hectares, the round lake water is like a full moon, embedded in the secluded forest and mountains. What's more, there is no outlet or inlet on the surface of the lake, but the water level remains the same all year round, and it is extremely clear.

This is where Gu Weiqing and his parents will go next. Since there are few tourists here, it has not been developed into a scenic spot, so the road to Crescent Lake has not yet been built. The three of them could only carry their bags and walk all the way.

Gu Weiqing was carrying a big backpack behind him, tents, and utensils behind him, and his elderly parents were only carrying ingredients. Although Gu Weiqing was a little tired, but the experience of cultivating immortals in his previous life and the fact that this body was relatively strong, he was not very tired.

After walking about ten miles, he was not tired, but his parents, who had been staying in the city and lacked exercise, were out of breath.

"Dad, Mom, why don't we go back, I see that you are very tired from walking."

Father Gu Shutong said: "It's hard to come out for a trip, how can you give up halfway." Anyway, I have to go to Crescent Lake for a trip! ”

Mother Liang Yinqiu also said: "Yes, it's not easy to come out." ”

Gu Weiqing did not refute, although his parents looked gentle, they did not lack resilience. Continuing to hurry, the three of them set off in the morning, and finally arrived at Moon Lake at 0 sunset.

The moment the three of them arrived, they were conquered by the scenery in front of them, the blue water of the lake was bottomless, and the lake was surrounded by a meadow, where the setting sun shone here, adding a touch of mysterious and magnificent charm to the Moon Lake.

Gu Weiqing threw away his backpack and ran towards Moon Lake, throwing away his clothes as he walked along the way, and when he arrived at the lake, there was only a pair of shorts left. Then he plunged into the lake.

The icy water of the lake made him shiver violently, but he quickly got used to it, took a deep breath, and then dived to the bottom of the lake. After diving more than twenty meters, Gu Weiqing stopped, and the bottom of the lake was dark. There is no value in probing. He looked up, the blue sky, the blue lake, and the red sunset showed a different kind of beauty.

When I went upstream, I waited for the surface of the lake and found my parents standing together, holding hands and looking at the lake at sunset. They were silent, but they felt good.

He used to think that his parents were just parents, but now he found out that his parents are also a pair of lovers. Love doesn't just belong to young people.

Seeing the sweet appearance of the two of them, Gu Weiqing didn't bother, but swam towards the other side of the lake. Halfway through the swim, he suddenly felt empty, lost his motivation for a moment, and let his body float on the icy lake.

Whether the voice in his head will appear, whether he will help himself, whether he will still see Zixia Qingxia, these are all unknown. It's been three months since he returned to this world again. As time went on, he began to question himself whether the memory of Journey to the West in his mind was just a real dream. Perhaps there has never been a transcendent power to send him to the Westward Journey, everything is just his fantasy.

Letting his body float on the surface of the lake, Gu Weiqing tried his best to empty his heart and not let himself think cranky. After a while, hearing his parents calling him, Gu Weiqing retracted his thoughts and swam towards the lake.

"Wei Qing, the lake is so cold, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I've been walking around for the past few years to give me a strong body!"

"That's good, let's set up camp here and live a good life for a while!"

"Okay, I'll go and get busy, you two can watch the sunset here, I'm no problem alone!"

The parents who did not have the ability to survive in the wild along the way were taken care of by Gu Weiqing, and they also felt Gu Weiqing's growth in recent years. I remember that in the past, Gu Wei washed his clothes and threw them into the washing machine, but now he has really grown up after a few years of wandering life. Things are well organized. Everything is arranged safely, and he has become a person who can be trusted.

It's just that what they don't know is that Gu Weiqing learned these things in another world for decades. He experienced hardships, setbacks, and lows that people in this era of peace could not have imagined. Eight years of fugitive life, climbing thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains, traveling in the blazing desert, shivering alone in winter......

Looking back now, Gu Weiqing didn't know that he had persevered at the beginning.

Gu Weiqing, who has the ability to survive in the wild, will bring back ingredients from time to time, rabbits, fish, black fungus, hazelnuts, mushrooms, bracken, daylily, and lion's mane mushrooms. Cook a few hearty meals for the three.

After living in Moon Lake for three days, the time has reached October 5th, and the three of them are ready to go home early tomorrow morning. After dinner, the bright starry sky shone on the Moon Lake, and Gu Weiqing and his parents sat together on a bonfire.

"Wei Qing, what are your plans next?"

"Go home, I'll stay at home from now on!"

Mother Liang Yinqiu said: "Your life routine is simply not like a young person, and it is not good to stay at home all day." ”

Gu Weiqing said helplessly: "Didn't I come out with you?" ”

"I'm talking about your state at home, and I don't see you going out with your peers, and you go home after eating in the neighborhood after a walk, just like a middle-aged person."

"I'm 28 years old, and I'm about to become middle-aged, but it's just a little bit ahead!"

The mother didn't say much, and the father said, "Don't talk about this, Weiqing, this is the first time you have gone home after graduation, how have you been outside in the past few years!" ”

"It's good. There are beautiful scenery along the way, and I can meet all kinds of people, and I have a good time. ”

The father said sternly: "If you have a good life, you will be like this, the whole person seems to have no spiritual energy, and the whole person is like a pool of stagnant water." Several times I have seen a person in a daze, and one moment in a daze is an hour. Normal people would be like you! We are family, what can't we say! ”

Gu Weiqing looked at the bonfire in front of him and said, "I'm really fine, this is just a low point in my life, it will pass soon, don't worry." ”

Mother Liang Yinqiu said: "I remember that you were a very cheerful boy before you went to college, and you loved to laugh very much, and since you said that you were in love in your sophomore year, you began to become more and more melancholy. Your father and I have lived for decades and understand that lovers influence each other.

Shang Yunxi, that girl you brought home in your junior year, a very quiet girl, with a melancholy temperament. is a literary girl who lives in her own world. Now you are like her before, has she become the same person you used to be? Cheerful, lively?

I just heard you say that you broke up the year after graduating from college. You have been completely affected by her personality, and now you only live in your own inner world. Can't you forget her? Wei Qing, I will introduce you to a cheerful girl when I go back, and she will let you out of this trough. ”

What Gu Weiqing can't forget is not Shang Yunxi, Shang Yunxi is a person he liked more than forty years ago in Gu Weiqing's memory. What's more, the two of them broke up peacefully, and the distance of two years of time and space made each other feel no more.

What Gu Weiqing can't forget is his wife Zixia Qingxia. It's just that saying this will only make the parents think that he has been hit hard!

For his mother's advice, he can only accept, the older he gets, the more he understands the hard work of being a parent.

……

On October 7, the three of them returned home, and then their parents began to introduce Gu Weiqing to each other, one or two a week, during which they saw more than a dozen girls, the older one was thirty, and the younger one was only twenty-two. But Gu Weiqing looked like a decadent uncle, although three or four expressed their willingness to continue contact, most of them were in a hurry. The remaining three or four who were willing lost interest in Gu Weiqing's attitude of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

The blind date of more than two months made his parents understand that Gu Weiqing has no interest in falling in love at all now. They are also sensible people, and they did not continue to force Gu Weiqing to go on a blind date.

They know that some people can only forget by themselves, some things can only be overcome by themselves, and there are low points that can only be walked out by themselves.

This may be the place where his parents are open-minded and will not blindly persecute him. but

Finally, there was no need to go on a blind date, Gu Weiqing stayed at home and was ready to wait. Wait for the voice in his head to call him.

But he thought badly, his parents watched a movie from beginning to end in 2017, "Manchester by the Sea", and they also knew a truth, some people may not be able to get out of some troughs for the rest of their lives.

On the second day, he received a phone call from Shang Yunxi.
