[Journey to the West] Daily life of the seven fairies

Life in the Moon Palace is simple and boring, and what Wu Gang needs to do every day is also simple and boring.

cut down trees.

The laurel tree in the Moon Palace has existed for an unknown number of years. It is a sacred tree with unknown functions, and it will be full of sweet-scented osmanthus every month.Every time Wu Gang chops, sweet-scented osmanthus will fall one after another, falling on his head and body, and then sliding down.After such a long time, Wu Gang always felt that there was an osmanthus smell that couldn't dissipate on his body.

I don't care that I have a fragrance like a woman on my body, and I don't care that I have worked so hard to cut down the tree. The hard and strong trunk will only shed some bark and shallow debris every time, not to mention, it will always be in his hands. Before the second ax fell, it returned to its original shape. Wu Gang just chopped silently, one ax after another, one after another.

Wu Gang just felled the tree silently, not thinking about anything, and kept moving, like a lifeless machine.

Until one day, the gate of the Moon Palace, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened.

"Aren't you tired just chopping like this?" Chang'e in a plain dress walked out slowly, but did not walk down the steps in front of the gate, but just looked at Wu Gang indifferently.

Wu Gang was originally focused, but when he heard that clear and cold voice, he couldn't help turning his head back.

With just one glance, Wu Gang was stunned.

He stared blankly at Chang'e, unable to speak.

Being looked at by him like that, Chang'e was not annoyed, and just said: "Even if you are not tired, stop for a while, you keep chopping like this, it makes me have a headache."

After finishing speaking, he turned and returned to the Moon Palace.

The heavy palace gates were slowly closed, and the surrounding walls were also erected high. In the huge moon palace, only Chang'e was alone in the deserted palace.

Wu Gang has always known that there is a fairy living in the Moon Palace, but this is the first time he has seen her.

The legendary Chang'e Fairy has a touch of worry and sorrow on her body. She is cold all over and has a calm expression. She can be seen from a distance but not played with.

Wu Gang watched Chang'e's figure disappear behind the door, and then continued to cut trees.

Just after closing the door, she heard the sound of tree felling. Chang'e didn't do anything else, she turned her head slightly, and seemed to see Wu Gang who was sweating profusely through the thick door.

For the first time in many years, this Moon Palace had a voice other than hers.

Chang'e seemed to be smiling, and seemed to just twitched the corners of her lips in an unclear manner, and went back to her bedroom.

Time passed day by day, and Chang'e's life was no different from usual except for the sound of cutting trees.Chang'e gradually got used to Wu Gang's existence. She guessed that Wu Gang, like her, was a person who was exiled here.

It's just that, except for the huge moon palace, where she was the only one to have two people, is this a commutation of her sentence?

Chang'e wanted to laugh mockingly, but couldn't help being sad.

She had regretted it a long time ago, as early as the moment she flew to the Moon Palace, she regretted it.

It's a pity that if you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences, and she has no choice but to suffer.

Chang'e used to think about the past sometimes, but now she doesn't think about it anymore. Hou Yiyi has died and fallen into reincarnation, and she is enduring endless loneliness and loneliness in the moon palace. There is nothing to think about.

All her expectations, all her fantasies, were gone.

Staying in the Moon Palace was her punishment—she deserved it.

Chang'e seldom stepped out of the palace gate, but occasionally went to pick up some sweet-scented osmanthus under the laurel, and whenever this happened, Wu Gang would stop cutting trees and watch her silently.

Wu Gang's eyes were as quiet as his expression, at first glance he looked a little dull.

The relationship between the two has always been like this. It is obvious that there are only two of them on the moon, and they are so close to each other, but apart from Chang'e's previous sentence telling him to stop and say that she is disturbing her, there is no communication between them.

Until one day, Wu Gang suddenly spoke to Chang'e.

He said, "My name is Wu Gang."

Chang'e paused when she picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus: "My name is Chang'e."

Wu Gang is really a quiet and almost non-existent person. Even when he is cutting down trees, it is just like a puppet completing the task, not a living person.

This made Chang'e very surprised when she saw a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus that Wu Gang came over and handed to her: "Is this for me?" There was no surprise of receiving a gift, only a sense of absurdity.

Wu Gang didn't speak, but took Chang'e's hand and forced the bag full of sweet-scented osmanthus into her hand.

"You offended me." Chang'e said, looking at the hand held by him.

"If I tell the Jade Emperor, you may be punished by the rules of heaven."

Chang'e didn't talk nonsense. There are heavenly rules in heaven to protect the rights and interests of female immortals in all aspects. For example, the physical contact between male immortals and female immortals can be big or small. There is no bad intention, and it is inevitable to suffer some moderate punishment.

Therefore, in heaven, male immortals are mostly gentle and polite, at least in front of female immortals.

Hearing Chang'e's words, Wu Gang's hands tightened, and the strength increased.Then, he withdrew his hand back with a straight face as if nothing had happened.

"Take it."

Wu Gang said the second sentence after his self-introduction, and then went back to continue cutting trees.

Is it really because she rarely comes out to pick up some sweet-scented osmanthus and hinders him from cutting down trees?

Chang'e, who stayed in the moon palace and almost forgot what emotions are, held the bag of sweet-scented osmanthus, and couldn't help feeling dumbfounded.

However, after returning to the bedroom and opening the bag, Chang'e canceled

It's not a Qiankun bag. After opening the cloth bag, the sweet-scented osmanthus inside spread out and piled up into a pointed shape.Some bright yellow, emitting a rich fragrance, each one is so perfect.

Osmanthus fragrans like this in the most vigorous period of life will not fall off, unless...

These sweet-scented osmanthus were all picked by Wu Gang who climbed the tree.

For a while, Chang'e suddenly didn't know what kind of mood she was in. She packed the sweet-scented osmanthus, went out of the palace gate, and returned the bag to Wu Gang.Wu Gang didn't pick it up, so she put the bag under the tree. After that, she never went to pick up sweet-scented osmanthus again.

"Don't try to get close to me."

Chang'e wanted to say that, but she didn't say it.

It was not until Wu Gang knocked on the door of the Moon Palace long after the sweet-scented osmanthus incident and delivered a rabbit to her that Chang'e couldn't help but ask, "What else do you want to give me?"

Chang'e looked into his eyes and asked, "Will there be a day when you will give yourself to me?"

Wu Gang remained silent, so Chang'e let Wu Gang go out.

If it was said that she still couldn't believe it at all at first, then at this moment, Chang'e just wanted to cry.She raised her head slightly and covered her eyes with her hands. After a while, crystal tears rolled down her pale cheeks.

She spent countless years regretting one thing, and also spent countless years missing someone.

She won't admit it, she knows it.

However, she would rather be wrong.

What kind of face should I face him, and why did he appear in front of me with such a face?

It was right to hate him, and it was normal to want to take revenge on her... Chang'e was already prepared for all possibilities.

That's what she thought.

At the moment when Wu Gang was confirmed to be Hou Yi, Chang'e suddenly discovered that she was not ready for anything at all.

Compared with Wu Gang's silence, she would prefer him to be angry with her, scold her, question her... anything is fine, but the only thing is not to appear by her side again like that, without saying anything, and treat her speciously well .

Chang'e gave up after trial and error again and again.

If this is his revenge on her, then she will follow suit.

It was an accident that the canopy would be rolled in.

Although Tianpeng didn't know and didn't admit it, he did look somewhat similar to the former Houyi. Chang'e really misrecognized him for a moment when she first saw him under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

It was at that moment that Chang'e had a crazy idea.

It's okay for him to take revenge on her, so it's okay for her to test if he still has her in his heart, right?

Since he does not admit that he is Hou Yi, then she should not treat him as Hou Yi.

Chang'e is very confident in herself, so she was a little surprised that Tianpeng dismissed her, but it was more conducive to the implementation of her plan.She just wanted to know the feelings of the former Houyi and the current Wu Gang towards her, and she didn't want Tianpeng to try the bitter fruit of feelings.

At the beginning, Chang'e's plan was really smooth. Watching her keep showing affection, getting close, and pestering the canopy, Hou Yi was unmoved on the surface, but Chang'e could see that his mood was not as good as his appearance calm.

In fact, Wu Gang was in a bad mood.

On the day Chang'e took the initiative to kiss the canopy, he chopped down thousands of axes.

If everything continues to develop as Chang'e thinks, then Wu Gang will probably do what she wants. However, in order to make Wu Gang believe that she really treats the canopy as Houyi, she keeps hypnotizing herself that is He—gradually, she, who was already on the verge of a mental breakdown, really couldn't figure out who was Hou Yi.

When she was awake, Chang'e would be happy with Wu Gang who chopped off the laurel canopy, and teased him, "Go and find the marshal for me."But when she was in a trance, she would feel that Tianpeng was Houyi. Even when Wu Gang finally couldn't hold back and told her "he is Wu Gang, but also Houyi", all she could think of was Tianpeng, and wanted to find him .

In this way, we have arrived at the underworld.

Maybe it's because being in the underworld is inherently negative, and Chang'e couldn't help but want to end all this absurdity.She did do something wrong, but after so many years, she has suffered enough punishment.It doesn't matter whether Hou Yi still loves her or not. Whether they love her or not, they can't go back to the past.

She followed her mood, vented and indulged, no matter what the ending was, she didn't want to care about it anymore.

For her, loneliness is a punishment, and immortality is even more a punishment.

"Let's end it like this..." Chang'e told herself, the things supporting her in her body were flowing out, but she only felt relieved.

Hades appeared, wanting her to stop, and Ksitigarbha also appeared, wanting to extradite her, but Chang'e, in a trance, only heard a sentence from Wu Gang next to her: "Chang'e, would you like to start over with me?"

Would you like to...how could you not?

She heard herself crying and answered, "I do."

When Wu Gang hugged her and jumped into reincarnation, Chang'e buried her head in Wu Gang's chest, and finally felt satisfied again.
