"I don't know."

Aji's eyes were full of confusion, he never knew how to talk to Old Man Shao about his thoughts.

Because if there was no loyal General Shao back then, there would be no stupid Aji now.

Old man Shao regarded him as the only hope for the restoration of the country, and never forced him, perhaps, he had already transferred the hope of the restoration to the descendants of Aji.

Aji smiled inexplicably, he couldn't say these words to Old Man Shao, but to Gu Lan, he was like a monster holding in a bottle, and finally waited for the person who could release him, and said a lot regardless of it.

And he said, Do the people care who will be king?

He asked, "Can he, like his father, be a good king?"

He is helpless, as long as the people are doing well, whoever will be the king will be the same.

Gu Lan listened silently, scoffing at his childishness.

But she can't be too harsh on Aji, he is only sixteen years old, in his previous life, but at the age of a high school student, even if he has experienced a lot, but he has not seen the wider world, and he does not know that there are many other possibilities in this world, he is like a little prince in a bottle, observing the world through a layer of glass.

The world suffers, and he suffers.

But after all, he couldn't really feel the pain.

So he was confused, he flinched, he didn't dare to face his destiny.

But everything that Aji lacks, Gu Lan has.

And he also has something that Gu Lan doesn't have.

Maybe Gu Lan doesn't know what she really wants, but she is naturally ambitious and full of sharpness, and she knows what she should choose at the moment.

She took Aji's hand and looked at him seriously, "Aji, you look at me. ”

"Do you remember what I told you about the Peach Blossom Garden?"

Aggie nodded, "Yes." ”

"Is the life of the people in there good?"

"Good!"

They live a peaceful and peaceful life without war, day after day, and everyone can have their own things and belonging, isn't that exactly the life he longs for?

But now Gu Lan told him: "This is not the best peach blossom source, let me tell you what is the real peach blossom source." ”

In her previous life, someone was pursuing such a society.

The society has developed productive forces, there is no state organization, every people have a very high moral and cultural literacy, everyone can do their favorite business, the old have something to rely on, and the young have something to support......

Even when Gu Lan came through, such a fantasy only existed in the book, a blueprint that could not be reached, but Gu Lan really longed for it.

Maybe...... Her arrival is not just to raise these children to grow up, maybe she can do something more interesting to make this era interesting.

Gu Lan talked about some things in her previous life, such as the "carriage" that can travel thousands of miles a day, the electric lights that can also be lit at night, the students who can go to private schools without teaching fees, and the "country" that is super responsible......

Aji didn't know when he sat down, he sat face to face with Gu Lan, his beautiful face was full of yearning, as if he was listening to a mythical story.

There is no realism at all.

But that didn't stop him from yearning for it.

"That's nice."

Gu Lan saw his disbelief and blinked his eyes and pointed to the moon in the sky.

"Have you ever heard of the legend of the moon?"

Aji tilted his head, and there was some confusion in his eyes: "What legend?" ”

"Before, there was a couple living on this land, one day ten suns suddenly appeared in the sky, the Jade Emperor ordered someone to find the man in the couple, ordered him to shoot nine suns, he did it, so the Queen Mother of the West rewarded him with an elixir, after his wife knew, in order to look old, secretly ate the elixir, who knew that the body was getting lighter and lighter, and then floated to the Moon Palace."

"There is a man in the Moon Palace who cuts laurel trees all the year round, and a rabbit who pounds medicine, and the moon pits we see are the traces of their lives."

Aggie listened to her story and looked up at the moon.

It has to be said that the moon in ancient times seemed to be closer than in modern times, probably without pollutants, so there was no need to worry about being obscured by clouds.

Gu Lan and Aji could see that there were indeed some shadows on the bright moon.

It seems that there is really a fairy dancing on it to figure out the shadow.

"Do you think we can fly to the moon too?"

"How is that possible?"

Aji subconsciously denied that myths are just myths, although the story told by Gu Lan is quite interesting, but how can people fly to the moon like immortals?

"Would I believe it if I told you that many, many years from now, the people who live in this land will be able to fly to the moon too?"

Aji's voice choked in his throat, and he looked at Gu Lan fixedly, her eyes were full of certainty, and there was a hint of a smile.

He wanted to say whether he believed it or not, but he inexplicably believed Gu Lan's words.

In the future, someone will fly to the moon as she said.

"How do you know that?"

Gu Lan didn't look like an ignorant peasant girl at all.

Gu Lan's face didn't matter, "In your heart, the people who work hard to dig in the soil are stupid and can't know anything?" ”

"I just know, there's no why."

One sentence blocked all of Aji's doubts.

Gu Lan patted Aji's shoulder and said earnestly: "Back to the question just now, your thoughts may be right or wrong, you live in your experience, and take it for granted that this is the case, you still see too little and experience too little." ”

"I'm going to go to the market tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"

"What are you going to do at the bazaar?"

Naturally, he went to sell cassava flour, anyway, the secret recipe was asked to go, looking at the person's appearance, it is estimated that he will not return to this remote ghost place, Gu Lan can't let his younger brothers and sisters eat cassava every day, children must have balanced nutrition if they want to grow up healthily.

And she still owes Grandpa Shao food and money.

No matter how beautiful you think about the future, you must live the present and take every step.

Gu Lan got up from the ground, picked up Aji's clothes, patted the snow and returned it to him.

"If you want to go, get up early, wait for me at my door, I'll go back first."

Gu Lan shivered coldly, hugged her shoulders and trotted all the way home.

Aggie followed, "I'll send you." ”

"No, you don't."

"What if it's dangerous?"

"The tiger has been killed by us."

“……”

Aji still stubbornly followed behind Gu Lan, insisting on sending her home.

The voices of the boy and girl faded away, and two lines of footprints snuggled in the snow, leaving a footprint.

Behind a tree, Old Man Shao's cloudy eyes looked at the moon and muttered, "Peach Blossom Spring...... Moon...... Have innate knowledge? ”

The shock that Gu Lan gave him tonight was no less than the impact he saw on the paper.

He had always thought that in his lifetime, maybe that would be it.

But now, he seems to have found a new way out.
