《Croceus croceus》E32
Episode 32
The Shahai Project finally came to a successful conclusion, and the disputes between the Zhang family and their descendants were also settled.Wu Xie and Fatty went to the cemetery to remember their close friend Pan Zi who had fought together.The ten-year agreement came as scheduled, and the two decided to go to the Bronze Gate to welcome Zhang Qiling's return.
On the way, Wu Xie felt nervous and expectant in his heart. He was eager to meet again, but also worried about the unknown.He imagined the scene of meeting Zhang Qiling again, whether he still remembered this agreement, and what their first words would be.Fatty supported Wu Xie as always. After the two arrived at the Bronze Gate, they called several times but received no response, so they decided to wait for what happened.
While waiting, the two chatted about the future, and Fatty asked Wu Xie about his plans for retirement.Wu Xie recalled a paradise-like village he encountered while exploring. It was surrounded by nine waterfalls, with dense water vapor and fresh air, just like a fairyland.He specifically mentioned a magical fruit that is said to be able to restore or even awaken memories of past lives. He hoped that Zhang Qiling could also taste this wonder.
Just as the two were lost in conversation, the bronze door slowly opened and Zhang Qiling appeared.He lamented Wu Xie's changes, and the two looked at each other with complicated emotions.When the fat man saw this, he rushed forward excitedly.
Afterwards, the three of them drove to the mist-shrouded village and began a peaceful pastoral life.They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, enjoying the fun of planting and the joy of harvest.This village not only has a beautiful environment, but has also become their spiritual destination.
Wu Xie often reflects on his first half of life. Although it was full of ups and downs, every adventure brought novel experiences.Zhang Qiling likes to walk alone in the mountains and forests, while Fatty and Wu Xie gradually adapt to and enjoy this lifestyle.Occasionally, Zhang Qiling will invite them to explore the mysteries of nature.
One day, they met a persistent old fisherman who kept fishing with a thin fishing rod and a bomb hook, just to find the big fish that took away his son's life.The old man's story moved the three of them with emotion, and the fat man commented on the old man's persistence with an optimistic attitude.
In a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is approaching.Wu Xie carefully decorated his home to prepare for the arrival of the New Year.Zhang Qiling offered to kill a chicken to celebrate, but accidentally killed his neighbor's chicken, causing an episode.Fortunately, the neighbors were generous and not only forgave their faults, but also gave them wine and bacon, which made the holiday atmosphere even stronger.
When the New Year's bell rang and firecrackers sounded one after another, Wu Xie, Fatty and Zhang Qiling sat around and toasted together.They realize that both the passion for adventure and the mundane happiness are an integral part of life.As long as you cherish the present and dance with your destiny, you can find your own happiness and meaning.
