I stood up, not to do anything, but to enjoy it, and it was a good feeling to be so powerful and forgetful.

The next day, he appeared in court.

As the defendant, I was escorted to the very center of the courtroom and face to face with the judge.

After an hour-long trial, in the end, I was acquitted and immediately released under the stunned gaze of everyone!

I wasn't surprised, because I had made a wish.

And just like that, I was acquitted by an inexplicable verdict.

Wang Xiaosheng has been watching all the time, and his nervous heart has finally been put down, and he can't wait to give me a big hug now.

When the hammer of judgment fell, the verdict took effect and I was released from court.

I walked up to Wang Xiaosheng with an expressionless face, he gave me a comforting hug, I took a long breath and laughed, laughed loudly, and Wang Xiaosheng also laughed with me.

It wasn't until the people around us stopped us that we stopped acting unreasonably towards the court, after all, the court is very serious, how can we be noisy again.

We went back to my house, bought two large bottles of liquor, and made a plate of peanuts, so we sang about wine and completely relaxed.

"How did you do it, when you were locked in, I was so anxious that I ran crazy outside, but with Yang Liu's secret operation, I couldn't get anything beneficial to you." Wang Xiaosheng asked with a sigh.

"You'll know later, don't talk about this, just drink it today, and if two bottles are not enough, you can have two more bottles!" I said, holding up my glass.

"Okay, have a drink." Wang Xiaosheng smiled and toasted.

······

"What! Found not guilty?! Who the presiding judge is, I'm going to talk to him! Yang Liu said angrily.

"Don't be angry, there is certainly no problem with the judgment made by the presiding judge, and there is no objection from the other judges present and the observers, and the reason for the acquittal is mainly due to insufficient evidence." The man with the briefcase in front of Yang Liu hurriedly explained.

Yang Liu frowned: "Insufficient evidence? ”

"Yes, because the evidence provided was insufficient, Lin Zhi was found not guilty." The man said.

"In this way, Xiao Zhang, you contact Lin Zhi for me, I want to see him." Yang Liu was puzzled, it was already like this, how did Lin Zhi do it?

The man immediately nodded in agreement and left.

······

At dusk, in the living room of an ordinary unit, two people were lying.

It was me who was drunk, and Wang Xiaosheng, who was already asleep.

The phone rang and I picked it up.

"Hello, it's Lin Zhi, right?"

"yes, what's that?"

"That's right, I'm Mayor Yang's secretary, and he wants to see you alone, can you see it?"

"He's the oldest, no!"

With that, I hung up the phone, braced my aching head and vague drunkenness, and went to the window, waiting for the sun to go down.

The old man said that he could make a wish only when the sun fell silent. But I still want to try it first and see if I can make a wish at another time.

I tried to shout, "Hey, old man, come out, I want to make a wish." ”

No response.

I sighed, fell to the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.

woke up again, looked at the table below, it was late at night, and Wang Xiaosheng hadn't woken up. At this time, I suddenly felt a little hungry, so let's go out and get something to eat.

I slowly propped myself up and walked out the door slowly, listlessly looking around at the night.

I thought for a moment and said, "Hey, old man, the moon is bright today." ”

"It's pretty bright." Suddenly, a voice came from all directions, it was the old man's voice!

It seems that I guessed correctly, not necessarily when the sun goes down to call him out, but as long as there is no sun, he can come out.

"I want to make a wish." I scratched my head.

"Say what you want." The old man was still excited.

"I hope that my family will be harmonious, that my mother will not die of cancer, and that my family will live happily." With a smile on my face, I said what I had ever dreamed of in life.

"Every time you make a wish, you will pay a price, so please think about it every time you make a wish!" The old man suddenly said solemnly.

Sure enough, making a wish will not make you make a wish in vain, but you need to pay a corresponding price. However, compared to the happiness of my family, no matter what the price is, it is insignificant!

I took a deep breath, lit a cigarette, then took a puff of it, and said solemnly and seriously to the old man: "I know that as long as I can fulfill this wish of mine, I will bear it no matter what the price."

"Okay, in that case, I'll naturally help you achieve it." The old man paused, and then said, "But before I do that, I must let you know a little. ”

"Know what?" I frowned, confused.

The old man said seriously: "Although I will fulfill any wishes for you, these wishes must be reasonable, because existence is reasonable.

It's like flying away, I can help you achieve it, but before I do it, I will definitely rationalize it, like letting you grow wings with a genetic mutation.

And when I rationalize this, I don't take into account the influence of 'outside' things.

To tell you this, your mother has passed away, and no matter how much I change the fact that your mother has cancer, your mother will eventually die in various ways, such as car accidents, accidents, etc.

Therefore, if I want to fulfill your wish, then I must impose this setting of 'death from cancer' on others.

And this 'other' will choose one person from the sea of hundreds of millions of people to bear this outcome.

So if so, would you still be willing to make that wish? ”

I threw away the cigarette butt and stomped on it with my foot.

Then he sat on the ground, scratched his head vigorously, and thought for a long time.

I see, exchanging someone else's death for my mother's life is a real problem.

When the old man saw me like this, he didn't say anything more, and he didn't hurry, just quietly waited for my answer.

At this moment, I suddenly came to my senses, stood up, and said, "Old man, old man, I have thought about it. ”

"Tell me about your decision!" The old man seemed to be very excited.

I spoke out loud in the moonlight, a decision I will never regret......
