The cold moon casts a clear light, and the branches with fallen leaves look even colder in the moonlight.
In the rows of houses, the orange firelight was blocked by the animal skins blocking the windows. The animal skins only reflected a reddish color and could not reveal the slightest bit of light.
Occasionally, there will be blurry figures reflected on it, and I don't know who is walking around in the room.
The fine fur blocked the firelight, but could not isolate the sound. From time to time, laughter and laughter came from the row of houses, adding a bit of liveliness and warmth to this peaceful and cold night.
The three people standing guard on the low wall were wrapped in thick furs, wore gloves and hats, and walked around in a small area with their necks hunched, stamping their feet from time to time to drive away the cold.
In the courtyard, two people and a dog squatted side by side under the moonlight, raising their heads and exhaling white air, looking up at the bright starry sky together.
If you exclude these two people, you can see a real-life version of dogs looking at the stars...
The two people looking up at the starry sky are not big, but they are wrapped in thick fur and squatting there now, they look a bit like two furry balls.
One of these two people is Shi Shi who dreams of flying to the sky and is ready to take a curve to realize his dream. The other is Han Cheng who was stimulated and wanted to be quiet after he found out that charcoal burning failed again after opening the kiln today.
After looking at it for a while, Shi Shi lowered his head, took his hand out of his warm gloves, picked up a piece of tile that had obviously been polished to make it easier to write on, carefully lifted the pottery plate that was standing on one side and placed it flat in front of his eyes, and then leaned down.
, carved on it with a pen made of tiles by moonlight.
This is a circle that is gradually becoming fuller, and its shape is very similar to the half of the cold moon hanging in the sky.
In front of this somewhat full circle, there are five rows of circles of different shapes lying horizontally.
At the tenth place in front of the circle, there is an
solution.
Shitou is a 'problem' boy who has more problems than Wu, a 'problem' old man. From time to time he will ask the Son of God questions about things he doesn't understand.
When writing and recording things, why should we write horizontally from left to right instead of vertically from top to bottom or from right to left? He had already asked the Son of God this question.
Of course Han Cheng would not tell Shi Shi that this was a habit he had developed since he was a child, nor would he think that "writing vertically while reading means nodding frequently to show recognition of the words of the sages; writing horizontally while reading means shaking the head frequently, which is disrespectful to the sages."
'Said like this as a joke.
The method Han Cheng gave is very simple, that is, put the stone on the pottery board, write "Tadpole Looking for Mom" horizontally and vertically, and then try to read it.
Han Cheng was led astray from the beginning. After reading it twice, he felt that it was more comfortable to read it sideways from left to right, so he stopped asking this question.
Han Cheng looked at this pottery plate with an unusually precious stone. It had more than forty irregular circles carved on it.
Han Cheng nodded slightly, and after carving for a while, he could start to guide Shitou to summarize the rules.
After the laws of the waxing and waning of the moon are summarized, the lunar calendar with the moon as the symbol can initially appear.
After we have a general framework, we can slowly add the ‘big month’, ‘small month’ and ‘leap month’ to it, and just rest and adjust according to the actual situation.
With myself as a time traveler, and Shitou as the next wizard who was brought to the field of 'astronomy', I can always come up with a calendar that is more suitable for them.
Shi Shi carefully carved out the missing circle, carefully compared it with the bright moon in the sky for a while, and made some modifications before stopping his actions.
He carefully put the 'pen' made from ground tiles into the side pocket of the simple clothes he was wearing, and after carefully erecting the pottery plate in front of him, he continued to look up at the wheel that eclipsed all the stars in the sky.
of the moon.
"Son of God, are there trees on the moon? Are there tribes living on it?"
After Shitou looked up for a while, he finally asked Shenzi what was on his mind.
This is what he discovered while observing the moon during this period, and the beautiful yearning that arose from it.
At this time, there is no worrying haze, and there are no lights that dazzle the human eye. In addition, there is no heavy academic work and my eyes will not be nearsighted, so I can see the shadow above the bright moon more clearly.
Han Cheng, who came from later generations, knew that there was nothing above the bright moon, only desolation. However, when he saw Shitou's eyes full of longing and expectation, Han Cheng still held back and did not tell this cold reality.
out.
Sometimes, beautiful and white lies need to appear in the world more than the discouraging reality.
Han Cheng nodded.
He looked at Han Cheng's stone with anticipation and anxiety in his heart, and a smile suddenly broke out on his face.
But the smile on his face quickly froze, because after nodding, the Son of God shook his head.
Looking at the shocked and disappointed stone, Han Cheng smiled and said: "There are trees and people on it, but there are no tribes."
The hard smile on the stone face bloomed again.
He looked at Han Cheng expectantly, hoping that Shen Zi could explain it more clearly.
Han Cheng pointed at the bright moon and said, "Did you see it? It's a big osmanthus tree. Under the big osmanthus tree, there is a rabbit pounding medicine."
Shitou's eyes widened when he heard this. He looked at the bright moon carefully. After what Shenzi said, he seemed to really see a big tree from above, and a rabbit doing some exercise.
He didn't understand what the Son of God meant by pounding medicine, so he automatically turned it into a movement.
Just looking at it, the question came up again, why is there a rabbit on it? What is it doing 'making medicine'?
Shi Shi raised his head to look at the bright moon, then lowered his head to ask the Son of God, with extreme anticipation in his heart, and his body was trembling slightly, not sure if it was because of excitement or cold.
Han Cheng secretly apologized to Hou Yi and Chang'e for making them suffer like the Weaver Girl again.
Then I thought about it and felt that Chang'e and Houyi were not as wronged as Zhinu because they were originally people from ancient times.
Han Cheng thought for a while and then told the original version of Chang'e flying to the moon and Hou Yi shooting the sun.
Seeing Shitou looking at him with a dumbfounded and speechless expression, Han Cheng's depression due to successive failures in burning charcoal also improved a lot.
"Chang'e deserves death!"
An angry voice suddenly came from not far away, frightening Han Cheng.
