Chapter 9 Chapter The Promise of the Night of the Full Moon

The softest oysters are surrounded by the hardest shells, and the most beautiful pearls are hidden in the deepest parts. I expected that the inn would be well-known on the island, but I didn't expect it to be famous not only on the island, but also on the island. That night, a guest who came to dinner actually took two videos with his mobile phone: one was Wu Julan holding a knife with both hands, chopping; the other was Wu Julan sitting on his knees in front of the mottled stone wall of the old house, playing the guqin.He uploaded the video to Weibo and named it "An Incredible Dinner". The video was reposted at an incredible speed, attracting all kinds of netizens to watch.

There are beauty-controlling women who only care about appearance, music enthusiasts who like ancient music, textual research who carefully study fish-cutting knife techniques, and foodies who like food... Countless people commented on the "饔子" in the video—— Netizens didn't know Wu Julan's name, so they called him 饔子, an elegant name for a chef in ancient times, based on the poems he recited. Really drunk!The picture is so beautiful, I can only play it in loop. Is it a musician who can cook, or a chef who can play the guqin?It's all about talent, it's all about being so handsome, it's all about being so handsome, and it's all about being so aura, Ma Le Gobi, let other men live?

This is the traditional Chinese good man!As evidenced by history, in the sixth year of Tianbao, Li Bai took his young son passing through Zhongdu, and a little official who had never met before came to visit him admiringly.Li Bai was deeply moved, and he personally performed a knife to chop the batter, and when he parted, he presented him with a poem.Needless to say about Li Bai's poems, go to "Baidu" by yourself, please pay attention to the key points, "Li Bai personally cuts the knife", Li Bai!Li Bai!Li Bai!Can write poems that have been passed down through the ages, and can wield the kitchen knife on the tip of the tongue!This is a good man in China!

As early as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, chopping was not only for eating, but also for people to watch.In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, literati regarded it as a romantic and elegant thing. Wang Wei, Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Changling, Bai Juyi...all described fish meat in their poems.People like Li Bai who are skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship would personally shove them from time to time, "Hu'er brushes the frost blade a few times, and the red muscles bloom and white snow falls." crazy!The blogger replied that he heard that the Guqin was made by Di Zi himself!since!already!Do!of!

In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Rihua wrote in "Liuyanzhai Notes Zitaoxuan Miscellaneous Supplements" that he had read a "Book of Chai Wai", which might have been compiled by the people of Tang Dynasty. Huangbai, Wulihua, Liuyelian, Duipian butterfly, Qianzhangxian..." It is a pity that at that time, the skill of chopping was lost, and Li Rihua had no way to verify the truth of these records.The 饔子 in the video is very likely to use the lost knives. Fortunately, Jiang Yisheng contacted the guest who uploaded the video in time. Under the crazy inquiries from netizens, he only replied, "The place for dinner is the Conch Inn. The man in the video should be the owner of the inn." He didn't say a word about other personal information. .

Netizens searched around based on "Conch Inn", and many people found my Weibo for the inn.Like detectives, they compared the photos of the inn I uploaded before, and immediately concluded that my conch inn was the conch inn in the video based on the background. Netizens left messages one after another. Some asked about the scenery of the island, some suggested posting more photos of Wu Julan, and some just watched and gossiped. Some even asked Wu Julan how his parents raised Wu Julan, and asked to pass on their experience... My Weibo fans have skyrocketed from more than one hundred to over one million, from not having a single message for a few days to thousands of messages every day.I was frightened by the enthusiasm of netizens, and even worried, for fear that this unexpected "popularity" would bring trouble to Wu Julan.

Although Wu Julan was surprised that the development of things far exceeded his expectations because he didn't consider the Internet, but he didn't mind as much as I thought.Sometimes, he would even read those comments about him with relish. Jiang Yisheng comforted me with a smile: "At least it proves that he is not a wanted criminal, otherwise he would not be able to watch his video go viral on the Internet so calmly." I punched Jiang Yisheng, and I couldn't accept Jiang Yisheng's comfort at all. Jiang Yisheng browsed the comments of netizens, and pointed to one of them to show me: "This product must have come from Mars! It must be!"

Jiang Yisheng laughed, "I found that there are a lot of mental illnesses on the Internet, reading their messages is really healing, and makes me feel that I am really normal!" When I looked at Wu Julan in the video, and Jiang Yisheng next to me, I also felt that I was so normal! Since Conch Inn became popular on the Internet, many people called to inquire about room accommodation every day, but I didn't accept any of them. I cautiously feel that the guests who come now are all ulterior motives. I am still trudging on the difficult road of pursuit. How can I allow others to add to the chaos?

What's more, now that I have successfully passed the economic crisis and found a better way to make a living, I simply gave up my original plan to open an inn. For various reasons, the guests who had eaten fish meat that night still came to eat at Conch Inn from time to time. However, because there are only Wu Julan and me as the chef and the small workers, the menu is not rich, and it all depends on what Wu Julan bought at the vegetable market that day.To be precise, he does what he buys.Of course, guests can also call in advance to explain what they want to eat, as long as Wu Julan can buy it, he can do it too.

At the beginning, I was worried that this would affect the business. I didn’t expect that the guests not only didn’t think Wu Julan’s behavior was wrong, but preferred to come to Conch Inn for dinner.Later, I learned that many well-known private kitchens in big cities operate in this way.Because only the ingredients purchased on the day can ensure that the dishes are fresh enough and delicious enough. Wu Julan's cooking skills are impeccable, and the dining environment can also be said to be perfect.The trees and vines in the old house are quite old, and the time has accumulated a very special flavor, which is an artistic conception that is impossible for any decoration. The guests who have been here will gradually like the Shanghai Conch Inn.Friends bring friends. According to word of mouth, Conch Restaurant quickly became the most popular private restaurant on the island.

To my surprise, the guests saw that I liked the conch handicrafts and asked me if I would sell them.Of course, I have the money to negotiate, and the price is much higher than when I set up a stall to sell it. Unintentionally, it has also become a source of income for me. I don't want Wu Julan to work too hard. He only receives ten customers a day, and he can earn about two to three hundred yuan. From time to time, I can sell a few pieces of conch jewelry, sometimes dozens, sometimes hundreds.I calculated the accounts, and after deducting the daily expenses and Wu Julan's salary, I can save three or four thousand a month, which is enough, and I don't need to do the inn business anymore. I was sitting in front of the faucet in the yard washing vegetables when my phone rang suddenly. I dried my hands and took a look at the phone, it was Zhou Buwen's call. "Big head?" "It's me! I heard from Jiang Yisheng that you are not in the inn business now, but have started a private kitchen business?" "Yes! The private kitchen business is very good. I think I have made enough money. If I don't want to be too tired, I will stop doing the inn business." "Then I'm still welcome to live here?" "Of course, anytime, when are you coming?" "When I finish the work at hand, I will go there." "Okay, I'll wait for you." "You do your own business, there are no weekends, you must rest when you should rest, don't be too tired! When you have time, go out for a walk, watch a movie, play a ball or something, be nice to yourself." "OK, all right!" I hung up the phone, thought about it, and found that ever since Wu Julan fell into my house, I have always squeezed him to make money for me, and I never gave him a vacation, nor did I take him out to play.I immediately decided to correct my mistakes and give Wu Julan and myself a day off as soon as possible. I called Jiang Yisheng and told him that I hadn't rested for a long time. I wanted to take Wu Julan out to sea and asked Jiang Yisheng if he wanted to go with him.Jiang Yisheng said without hesitation that we would go together, and promised that he would arrange everything and let me prepare delicious food. On Saturday afternoon, at 4:30, when the sun had slanted to the west and was no longer so scorching, Jiang Yisheng opened the rented boat and took Wu Julan and me out to sea to watch the sunset and have dinner. After driving for more than an hour, we arrived at the scheduled location.Jiang Yisheng stopped the boat, took out the snorkeling gear prepared for Wu Julan, and asked, "Have you tried this before?" "No." Wu Julan looked at the flippers, snorkeling goggles and breathing tube with interest. "How's your water quality?" Jiang Yisheng asked. Wu Julan was taken aback for a moment, then said slowly, "Very good." "Can you dive to the bottom of a swimming pool more than two meters deep?" "can." "That's no problem." Jiang Yisheng sat across from Wu Julan, picked up his snorkeling goggles and snorkel, and demonstrated how to put on the snorkeling equipment. "Snorkeling is very simple. For those who are good at water, they can learn it quickly." Wu Julan saw that I was sitting still, "Aren't you going to play?" I shook my head, "I can't swim." Jiang Yisheng sneered, "She fell into the sea once when she was a child and was almost drowned. Since then, she was terrified and couldn't learn to swim no matter what. The big head and I worked hard to make her wear it. Put on a lifejacket and float in the water for a while. If you want her to go into the water without a lifejacket, she will think you want to murder her and resist desperately!" I was a little embarrassed, and argued: "There are many people who can't swim, and I'm not the only one!" "There are many people who can't swim, but they are not the descendants of fishermen, and they don't have a great grandfather." Jiang Yisheng said to Wu Julan: "Until now, when the elderly fishermen talk about who is good at swimming, they still don't know who they are. She will talk about the legend of her great-grandfather. At that time, there were no tools, and it was said that she could dive more than 20 meters, but look at this unworthy descendant, who can't even learn to swim!" I glared at Jiang Yisheng, and told him: "Don't focus on catching lobsters, watch Wu Julan, it's his first time snorkeling." Then I told Wu Julan: "Follow Jiang Yisheng closely, and don't dive too far just to chase lobsters." Deep, safety first." Jiang Yisheng checked Wu Julan's clothes, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, he capsized first, and Wu Julan capsized after him. The two were swimming around the boat. Jiang Yisheng taught Wu Julan how to snorkel. I watched for a while and found that Wu Julan was very good at water. I learned it quickly and felt relieved. Jiang Yisheng got on the boat again, and handed Wu Julan a pair of black gloves and a green net bag that could be hung on his body.Jiang Yisheng wore gloves and held a net bag to demonstrate, "When catching a lobster, go behind it so that it can't catch you. After catching it, first float to the surface, then put the lobster into the net bag and hang it back on your waist. You can continue to catch the second one." After Wu Julan expressed his understanding, Jiang Yisheng said: "Whether there is lobster to eat at night depends on our character." After speaking, he jumped off the boat with Wu Julan and went swimming far away. I took out my camera, and while taking pictures, I watched Wu Julan follow Jiang Yisheng up and down in the sea. In order to prevent sunburn or jellyfish stings, the snorkeling suit covers the whole body tightly, only the neck and a section of the calf are exposed.Jiang Yisheng often plays in the sea, his skin is a healthy bronze, but Wu Julan is fair, thanks to his slender figure and vigorous movements, he does not feel weak at all. Wu Julan was very lucky, and soon caught three lobsters, but Jiang Yisheng got nothing. He said to Wu Julan jokingly: "You really killed the master with a blind fist!" Wu Julan smiled slightly, but said nothing.He flipped aboard, dumped the lobsters waving their pincers into the tin bucket, and poured out oysters from the green net bag. I picked up the prepared bath towel and handed it to him, "Wipe it, be careful not to catch a cold." Wu Julan took the towel and wiped her hair and body. I said to Jiang Yisheng who was still in the sea: "Three lobsters are enough, do you want to continue catching them?" Jiang Yisheng said: "Of course! What's the point of eating someone else's catch? When I catch a bigger one, I'll release the one caught by Brother Ang!" After he finished speaking, he waved to us and swam away. Wu Julan sat beside me, leaning against the cabin, stretching her long legs comfortably. Without saying a word, he handed me a moderate oyster. I held it in my hand, hesitated and said, "Although it is said that fresh oysters are delicious when eaten raw, I have never been used to them." Wu Julan took the oyster back from my hand without saying a word. He snapped open the oyster shell neatly and ate the oyster meat into his mouth.Then, he grabbed my hand, spit out a black pearl from his mouth, and gently fell into my palm. I was dumbfounded, and asked blankly, "For me?" Wu Julan turned her head and looked at the end of the sea and sky with a blank expression, "I remember you girls like such boring things." I stared at the little thing in my palm—a small black pearl shaped like a drop of water.In this age when artificial pearls are flooded, they are not worth much, but Wu Julan picked them from the sea and gave them to me. Thinking of his actions just now, I asked, "Did you know that there are pearls in this oyster?" Wu Julan glanced at me lightly, "Otherwise, why do you think I singled out this oyster?" To my great chagrin, if I had been willing to eat raw oysters just now, I would have been surprised to eat the pearls myself, and then spit them out in surprise.However, thinking of Wu Julan's sexy look of spitting out pearls, I think it's better this way. I held the pearl tightly in my palm, "Thank you!" Wu Julan said lightly: "It's just something I picked up casually!" I am a little helpless, other men are like "I have paid a lot for you, come and thank me", but he is good, always put on a look of "I didn't do anything, you must not be moved" look. However, he forgot that I was a girl who grew up by the sea, and I deeply know that the softest oysters are covered with the hardest shells, and the most beautiful pearls are hidden in the deepest part. I was playing with the black pearl when Wu Julan suddenly asked, "What happened when you fell into the sea when you were young?" There is nothing to hide, I said straightforwardly: "It happened when I was seven years old. My parents were divorcing. Grandpa wanted to save their relationship and asked them to go back to the island for a few days. My mother is different from my stepmother. She is very I respect my grandpa, but I don’t respect my dad. Our family of three went back to the island, and my grandpa specially drove the boat to take my dad, mom and me out to play. I remember that the weather was very good that day, the sky was blue and there was no wind. The sea is as flat as a mirror. Grandpa hid in the cabin to rest, I splashed in the sea, and my parents sat on the side of the boat and watched me. At that time, I could swim." I smiled wryly, "As they were talking, they started arguing again. I had cramps in my legs and suddenly choked on water, but they were arguing so hard that no one noticed me, and I drowned. What happened later, I I don’t know anything, I only know that I almost drowned, and it was my grandfather who saved me. My parents decided to divorce on the day I woke up, thank God, I finally don’t have to listen to their quarrel anymore.” Wu Julan looked at me silently. I shrugged my shoulders and said with a smile: "It would be a lie to say that I don't feel uncomfortable at all, but it would be too hypocritical to say that I have been suffering until now! After so many years, my mother has a new family and a new family. Son, Dad has a new family, a new child, and I have my own life, all the past is just the past!" Jiang Yisheng's loud cry suddenly came, "I caught a really big lobster!" Wu Julan and I followed the reputation, Jiang Yisheng paddled the water with one hand, and held up a huge lobster with the other. I waved to him, signaling that we had all seen it. Wu Julan said nonchalantly, "I'll bake oysters for you later." I held the black pearl in my palm, smiled and nodded. With the brilliance of the setting sun, we had a very sumptuous seafood meal. It was almost nine o'clock when I got home, full of wine and food, and it was completely dark. Jiang Yisheng took a bottle of red wine with him, considering that he was going to set sail, so he tasted it briefly, and Wu Julan only drank a few sips, most of which was drunk by me.I was drunk, and the road in the old street was uneven, I walked staggeringly, looking very dangerous, Wu Julan had to hold my arm. Jiang Yisheng's house arrived first, and after he waved goodbye to us with a smile, he closed the courtyard door. Wu Julan helped me to continue walking. Before the two of them reached the gate of the courtyard, Wu Julan stopped suddenly.I asked puzzledly: "Didn't you bring the key? I have it in my bag." Wu Julan pushed me to the corner of the courtyard wall, and said in a low voice, "Hide here and don't move." After speaking, he ran a few steps, borrowed some strength from the slightly protruding stone on the wall, and directly climbed from the top of the wall. Turned into the yard. The remaining alcohol in me disappeared immediately, and I stared at the courtyard wall of my house with wide eyes, as if I had never seen it before.Is it so easy to turn over the two and a half meter high courtyard wall? A person suddenly opened the courtyard door and rushed out of the courtyard. In the darkness, something flew out and hit the plaque of "Conch Inn" hanging under the eaves.The plaque fell and just hit the man's head. He shook, fell softly to the ground, and passed out. I was dumbfounded, and suddenly thought that Wu Julan was inside alone... I rushed over immediately, stepped on the broken plaque, stumbled and fell into the yard. "Xiaoluo?" Wu Julan's worried voice. "I'm fine!" I hurriedly got up from the ground, looked up, and saw a burly man fighting Wu Julan in the yard.Wu Julan was unarmed, but the man was holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, stabbing viciously around, brushing against Wu Julan's body almost every time, which made me jump with fear. Wu Julan was not nervous at all, she still had time to look back at me, and asked displeasedly, "Why didn't you wait outside?" I shivered and said, "Be careful! I, I will... call the police!" I took out my phone tremblingly, my eyes widened suddenly, and I was too scared to move. Probably because he heard me say that he wanted to call the police, the man with the dagger tried to run away several times, but was stopped by Wu Julan. He suddenly went crazy and began to stab Wu Julan regardless. In the light of Sen Han's knife, Wu Julan stretched out his hand as if he was looking for something, and snatched the dagger lightly and deftly. With the other hand, he grabbed the opponent's neck, like an iron hoop, firmly fixing the man to the wall superior.The other party tried to resist, Wu Julan lifted his hands up, his legs were hanging in the air, the weight of his whole body was hanging on his neck, he couldn't breathe, and soon lost all strength in his whole body. Seeing that he was honest, Wu Julan lowered his hands a little so that his feet could touch the ground, "Who are you? What do you want?" The man said in a hoarse voice: "We are thieves. We wandered here tonight and came in to try our luck when we saw no one was in the house. I didn't expect such bad luck..." "Really?" Wu Julan snorted coldly, picked up the dagger, and tried to stab him. "Don't!" I screamed. Wu Julan stopped what he was doing, stared at the man, approached him, murmured a few words to him, and let go, the man fell to the ground and passed out. Wu Julan turned around and looked at me. I looked at him with a terrified expression and dull eyes. Wu Julan's eyes darkened, he threw the dagger on the ground, turned around and walked into the house. "Dangcang" the sound of a dagger falling to the ground brought me back to my senses from the extreme tension and fright, and I rushed to Wu Julan's side in one stride, pulled his arm, and checked his body, "Are you injured? There is nothing valuable in the house, even if there are valuable things, there is no life worth it! Why do you want to fight them? Are you crazy? Who do you think you are..." Wu Julan seemed completely unaware of my reaction, and let me play around like a puppet. I checked from head to toe, and after making sure that Wu Julan was not injured, I let out a long breath and said, "I was scared to death! Fortunately, you were not injured! " Wu Julan stared at me, and asked almost word for word: "You were afraid just now... because you were afraid that I would get hurt?" "Nonsense! Am I still afraid of the thief getting hurt?" I was talking, looked around, made sure no one could see, kicked the thief who was unconscious on the ground, and said to Wu Julan, "Don't use a dagger. Stabbing them is not allowed by the law and will be punished by the law, but... we can beat them secretly." I ran to the study, took out a book, and handed it to Wu Julan, "It won't hurt to hit them on the ground. Leave traces." Wu Julan held the book and stared blankly at me. I said, "Go ahead and fight! I'll call the police after you finish the fight." Wu Julan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and suddenly he laughed, just like the bright moon breaking through the clouds on the dark night of the sea, making the whole sea glow in an instant.He smiled and patted my head with the book, "Where did you learn it?" "On TV, the police beat those bad guys like this." American dramas, Korean dramas, and Hong Kong dramas are all shown in this way. I am sure that this method is absolutely feasible. "Call Jiang Yisheng and ask him to come over immediately. Let's wait in the house." "Okay." I don't know how to deal with the situation in front of me at all, but Jiang Yisheng has always been a fine person since he was a child. After Jiang Yisheng came, he didn't make any fuss when he saw the scene in our yard, but he was very speechless and dull. I narrated the matter in detail.While listening, Jiang Yisheng looked thoughtfully at Wu Julan for a while, and at the unconscious thief on the ground for a while. Wu Julan didn't seem to notice anything, and walked from one room to another calmly, checking if there was anything missing. Jiang Yisheng called the police, and 20 minutes later, two policemen ran in panting.Jiang Yisheng told the police that we went out to sea to play, and when we came home, we met these two people who broke into the house.The thief wanted to escape in a hurry, a thief was accidentally knocked unconscious by a signboard that fell suddenly, and a thief was subdued by us. The police woke up the two thieves and questioned them. I was a little nervous at first, but no matter what the police asked, the thief nodded and admitted. He looked a little confused, probably thinking that he was caught anyway, and how he was caught was not important. Because the incident was very simple, the thief was caught on the spot, no one was injured, and nothing was lost at home.After the police finished their investigation, they left with the two thieves. When leaving the hospital gate, the policeman was extra careful, looked at the eaves above the gate, then looked at the plaque that fell on the ground, and said with a sigh: "It turns out that there is really something about being knocked out by the signboard!" When the police left, I hurriedly said before Jiang Yisheng could speak: "It's late, everyone, let's rest! No matter what happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Jiang Yisheng understood my attitude, he immediately swallowed his doubts, yawned and said: "Good night!" and left with a shake. I locked the courtyard door and house door, turned around and went upstairs.As I was walking, I always felt a little flustered in my heart. I turned my head and said to Wu Julan, "Can you sleep in the room next to me tonight?" "Okay." Wu Julan went upstairs with me and sent me to the room, "Don't worry, no one is hiding in the closet or under the bed. I have checked everything to ensure that there is not a single mouse." .” I burst out laughing with a "puchi", and my tense nerves suddenly relaxed, "How did you guess that I would worry about this?" "Isn't the TV series you watched acted like this?" Wu Julan said with an expression of "is it hard to guess?" I felt ashamed, "Uh...that's how it was played, too big a room has its disadvantages, no one knows who's hiding in any corner." Wu Julan said: "I'm right next door, my hearing is very sensitive, I will know immediately if something happens, you can sleep peacefully." "I know!" Having seen his skills tonight, I completely believe in him. Not to mention just two thieves, I am afraid that he can easily bring down two well-trained special police officers. After I took a shower, I went to bed and rested.Knowing that Wu Julan was not far away, although she experienced a fright, she was not afraid at all, and fell asleep not long after lying on the bed. In the morning, after I got up, I found that Jiang Yisheng was already in the yard.While eating breakfast, he watched Wu Julan work. I stomped downstairs, got a bowl of porridge, sat next to Jiang Yisheng, and joined the ranks of watching. Wu Julan is making a plaque, with water patterns carved on the corners, which is much more beautiful than the previous plaque.Jiang Yisheng and I are very calm. For someone who can even do guqin, this is really a small job that is not worth mentioning. Seeing that he was almost done, Jiang Yisheng put down the bowl and chopsticks, ran into the study, consciously unfolded the rice paper, took out the pen and ink, and prepared to write.Last time, he was the one who wrote the four big characters "Conch Inn".When he was in middle school, Jiang Yisheng's calligraphy works won the first prize in the province. Although he hasn't practiced it for many years, it is better than me who "focuses on participation" every time. After Jiang Yisheng finished writing, he felt that he had performed well, and asked me to go in and read it with great interest. Wu Julan and I walked into the study one after the other, I glanced at it, and praised casually: "Not bad, it's better than last time." Jiang Yisheng asked Wu Julan anxiously, "What do you think?" Without saying a word, Wu Julan walked to the desk, picked up the pen, and finished the work in one go. My level is limited and I don't appreciate it.Jiang Yisheng was dazzled by the sight, and murmured: "The breeze blows out of the sleeves, and the bright moon enters the arms." Wu Julan put down her pen and said to me seriously: "Using my calligraphy is better than Jiang Yisheng's." I looked at my best friend Jiang Yisheng, of course... I agreed without hesitation. Wu Julan took the handwriting she wrote and rubbed it on the plaque.Jiang Yisheng crumpled up his handwriting and threw it into the trash can. I patted him, "What are you doing? Angry?" Jiang Yisheng sighed, "You! The ignorant are fearless! Do you know that the ancients used the words 'the breeze blows out of your sleeves and the bright moon enters your arms'?" "have no idea." "Wang Xizhi." I smiled and cupped my hands, "Thank you!" "You're welcome, Wu Julan's writing deserves this praise! Xiao Luo, are you really not nervous about what happened last night and today's writing?" "Nervous! I've been thinking about all kinds of possibilities." "What is possible?" "He is an agent and has received special training, so he has various skills that ordinary people don't." "Well——" Jiang Yisheng was drinking water, unable to open his mouth, his nasal voice dragged on for a long time, and after swallowing, he said, "Matt Damon's, what else?" "He came from time travel." "Pfft——" Jiang Yisheng spit out all the water he just drank, coughed and said, "Have you watched too much? You should watch less of those nonsense TV dramas!" I gave him two tissues in disgust, "What about your high opinion?" "I don't know! It's because I don't have a clue in my heart that I worry about you. You said that if you like big heads..." I made a "stop" gesture and said angrily, "Wu Julan will tell me everything." "when?" "Soon." Tomorrow night is the night of the full fifteenth moon.I have a hunch that Wu Julan will tell me who he is and where he comes from on the night of the full moon. The night of the full moon this month happens to be the 15th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar. It is not only the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, but also my twenty-sixth birthday. Because my lunar birthday is too special, I have only celebrated lunar birthdays since I was a child. This year, my grandfather will not give me any more birthday presents. I decided to take the full moon night that Wu Julan and I agreed upon as my birthday present. Thinking of tomorrow night, I was very nervous, but Wu Julan seemed to have completely forgotten his promise, and just did what he should do as if nothing had happened. I couldn't afford to do business at all, so I simply told the customers that because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I would have another two days off. I have nothing to do. I just sit on the sofa and watch TV while checking Weibo and Moments with my mobile phone.No matter on TV or on the Internet, everyone is talking about this year's Mid-Autumn Festival. News report: "The full moon of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be the moment when the earth is closest to the moon in fifty-two years. Because of the rotation of the earth and the revolution of the moon, Europe, Africa, Antarctica, South America, and the east of North America will be seen in advance tonight. To the full moon, east Asia and Oceania will see the largest full moon in 52 years tomorrow night." The Mid-Autumn Festival combined with astronomical visions made the media playfully exaggerate everything: "Who will you enjoy the biggest full moon in fifty-two years with tomorrow night? Have you ever thought about being under the biggest full moon in fifty-two years?" Confession, marriage proposal?" My mood is very complicated. My little feelings are actually connected with the astronomical events in the universe. It was originally just my special day, but it seems to have become a special day for many people. After dinner, I didn't want to watch TV any more, so I asked Wu Julan if he wanted to go for a walk, and he said "yes". We walked towards the top of the hill along the path at the end of the old street. It is said that there was a Mazu Temple on the top of the mountain a long time ago, so this mountain is called Mazu Mountain, and this street is called Mazu Street.But at some point, the Mazu Temple collapsed, and the fishermen chose another place to build a new temple, leaving only the place name. Matsu Mountain is not high, but the vegetation is lush on the mountain, and there are many reefs at the foot of the mountain. Standing on the Yingzui Cliff without trees, you can overlook the whole sea. Tonight, the wind is very gentle, there are few clouds, and the moon on the sea can be seen very clearly. Although it is only fifteen tomorrow night, the moon looks very round tonight.I don't know if it's true, or I just accepted the psychological suggestion, thinking that the moon is so big, it seems that the sky can't hold it up, and it's about to fall down. I struggled with it all day, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, and summoned up the courage to ask: "Tomorrow night is the night of the full moon, do you still remember what you said?" Wu Julan stared at the moon silently, and after a moment, said: "Tomorrow night, we will meet at the beach where you saw me last time." "Is it the rocky beach that I often go to under Matsu Mountain?" "Ok." Originally, I thought I still had something to say, but at this moment, in the quiet night, standing beside Wu Julan, looking at the sparkling sea under the bright moonlight, listening to the sound of surging waves, I suddenly felt that I Enjoy the present moment first, and wait until tomorrow for everything else! Suddenly, Wu Julan swayed and was about to fall, I hurriedly supported him, "What's wrong with you?" Wu Julan said: "It's okay, my leg suddenly felt a little cramp..." He closed his mouth and listened intently, his eyes gradually became very sharp. I asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" "Someone is hiding in the woods, slowly approaching us, four people." I really wanted to say optimistically, "Probably a neighbor who came for a walk at night", but I didn't think it was possible at all. I said, "Is it a bad person? Let's run down the mountain now, and when we run through this path, we will definitely hear our neighbors." Wu Julan said: "I can't run now." "I'll help you run." Wu Julan did not accept my proposal, "These four people came here with bad intentions. Later, if I say run, you run. I will block them, and you go find someone to help." "No, I want to be with you..." Wu Julan stared at me with burning eyes, "I'll be fine, but if you insist on staying, I will probably be in trouble to protect you. Don't let you become my weakness, that's the greatest help." I can only be obedient, "Okay." Wu Julan asked me to help him walk to a nearby coconut tree. Only then did I realize that it was indeed impossible for me to run with Wu Julan.Wu Julan's legs were as stiff as stone pillars, and he and I were sweating profusely after just a few steps. Wu Julan asked me to pick up some small stones for him.He held it in his hand and said to me: "Run down the mountain with all your strength, don't try to come back to save me, trust me, I will be fine." I bit my lip tightly and nodded. Wu Julan said, "Run!" I rushed to the mountain path as soon as I could, someone jumped out from the bushes, trying to grab me, but before I got close to me, a stone roared and hit his eyes, and he had to dodge to dodge, I quickly walked in front of him ran over. He still wanted to continue chasing me, but another stone flew towards him, so he had to dodge first. Wu Julan was leaning on the coconut tree, throwing stones with one hand, and bent his index finger with the other, ticking him off, full of provocation and contempt. The man flew into a rage and called out to his accomplices, "Get rid of the man first." I ran and ran, but I couldn't help but look back—under the coconut tree, four men were besieging Wu Julan, all holding daggers.Because Wu Julan couldn't move her legs, she could only cling to the coconut tree and passively protect herself.The four men noticed his strangeness, two of them attacked him from both sides, and the other two took advantage of Wu Julan's defense, stabbing the daggers in Wu Julan's legs fiercely. I felt sad, turned around and was about to run back when Wu Julan's voice came, "Little Luo, be good!" His voice was as usual, so calm that there was no wave, but the "obedient" was so soft that I immediately stopped in my tracks. I gritted my teeth, turned around suddenly, and rushed down the mountain desperately with tears in my eyes. Stumbling to the end of the path, I could already see the faint lights on Mazu Street. I ran and shouted, "Help! Help! Is there anyone? Is there anyone..." Jiang Yisheng was the first to rush out of the room, and asked loudly, "Xiaoluo, what's the matter?" I gasped and said, "Wu Julan is at Yingzui Cliff, under the coconut tree, there are villains...with knives..." Jiang Yisheng took big strides and sprinted up the mountain.几个邻居也陆陆续续跟在他身后，往山上赶去。 我速度没他们快，等我气喘吁吁地跑到山顶，看见一堆人神情古怪地站在椰子树下。 我焦急地冲了过去，“吴居蓝……” 椰子树下空无一人，既没有吴居蓝，也没有攻击我们的坏人。 I am silly. 一个邻居四处看了一圈说：“沈螺，你是不是做噩梦了？没有人啊！” 我又急又怕地说：“肯定是那些人把吴居蓝抓走了。” 曾大叔说：“你别着急，江易盛已经带着人去别的地方找了。” 王洋哥哥说：“我们再四处找找，小吴那么大个头，想把他带走可不容易。” 几个邻居分散开，沿着下山的方向去找。 我突然想起我给吴居蓝买了手机，而且要他答应我不管什么时候出门都必须带着手机。我立即掏出手机，给他打电话。 温柔的女声传来：“对不起，您拨打的电话不在服务区内，请稍后再拨。” 我不死心地拨了一遍又一遍，手机里一直是这个回复。 一个多小时后，大家找遍了整座妈祖山，既没有找到吴居蓝，也没有找到我说的四个坏人。 按照我的说法，加上吴居蓝，一共有五个男人，妈祖山就那么大，无论如何都不可能找不到。 虽然没有人明说，但我清楚地感觉到，大家都不相信我说的话。 我想说“吴居蓝的确不见了”，至少，这是可以证明的事实。 江易盛拉住我，在我耳边小声说：“吴居蓝是成年人，要失联四十八小时后，警察才会受理。你就算现在报警，警察也只会先等等看。” 我只能把所有话都吞了回去。 人群渐渐地散去，邻居们还好心地悄悄叮嘱江易盛带我去医院检查一下。 我站在山顶，既痛苦、又无措，怎么想都想不明白，五个大男人怎么会不留一点痕迹就消失不见了？ 我问江易盛：“你相信我说的话吗？” “相信。”没等我表示感谢，江易盛又慢吞吞地说：“你告诉我你看见了外星人，我也会相信。” 我含着泪狠狠地捶了他一拳。 江易盛忙正色说：“你把事情经过再给我讲述一遍，我们分析一下可能性。” “吃过晚饭，八点多时，我和吴居蓝出门散步，沿着上山的小径，一直走到了最高的鹰嘴崖……后来，来了四个坏人……” 我走到椰子树下，站在吴居蓝站过的位置上，“他就站在这里。” 江易盛紧挨着我的肩膀，靠着椰子树站好，一边查看四周，一边说：“他的腿突然严重抽筋，不能动的话，这里的确是最好的地方。椰子树可以保护他的背部，他可以保护你顺利逃离。” 椰子树后面是茂密的羊角木林，左边是下山的小径，前方是一块杂草丛生的空地，右边就是形似鹰嘴的山崖，稀稀拉拉地长着一些低矮的抗风桐和不知名的藤蔓。 我和江易盛查看了一圈后，不约而同地把目光投向了鹰嘴崖。崖下怪石嶙峋，翻涌的大海不停地拍打着山壁，激溅起高高的浪花。 如果陆地上没能找到人，那么人会不会去了海上？ 我说：“还有一条小路可以通到山另一边的海滩，就是我们小时候常常去玩的海滩。”那边的海滩是礁石海滩，行走不便，人迹罕至，我、江易盛和大头三个人小时候经常在海滩上玩耍。 “我比你更熟悉这里！如果他们带着吴居蓝，速度快不了，到山下的海滩至少要二十几分钟。那片礁石海滩不好走，从山脚到海边至少又要十几分钟。我上山后没看到吴居蓝，立即跑到了那边的山坡上，从高处眺望过，绝对没有人。” “也许你没有看清。” “你看看今天晚上的月亮。” 我抬头看看那轮硕大的月亮，不吭声了。 江易盛说：“我不放心，还让黎大哥沿着那条路下去找了一遍，什么都没发现。”黎大哥是渔民，对海滩上哪里能停船了如指掌，只要有人乘船从那里离开，他肯定能发现。 我盯着陡峭的鹰嘴崖说：“难道他们从那里跳下去了？” 江易盛说：“不可能！从那里跳下去，九死一生。他们犯得着冒这个险吗？” 我气急败坏地说：“这也不可能，那也不可能，难道人能飞上天吗？” “更不可能！所以肯定有一个合理的可能。”江易盛犹豫了一下说：“那四个男人不一定非要带着吴居蓝走。这是海边，藏匿一个活人不容易，让一个死人消失却不难……” 我厉声说：“不可能！吴居蓝绝对不会有事！” 江易盛不吭声了，可我一清二楚他想要说什么。如果那四个人穷凶极恶到先杀了吴居蓝，再处理掉吴居蓝的尸体，然后伪装成普通人，分散开走，就很有可能躲过搜索的队伍，顺利逃走。 我下意识地看向鹰嘴崖，突出的山崖伫立在虚空，面朝着辽阔的大海，一眼望去，无边无际，可以不留痕迹地吞噬掉一切。 我像是被什么东西狠狠地刺了一下，立即闭上眼睛，扭过了头，不敢再看。 江易盛劝说：“能找的地方都找过了，你待在这里也没用，不如回家去等。只要吴居蓝没事，他肯定会想办法回家。” 一时间我也想不出别的办法，只能跟着江易盛回家去看看，抱着万分之一的希望，也许吴居蓝已经先回去了。
