Deep in the stars

In a corner of the world stood a red figure, the blazing sea of fire behind him turning red.

"Let's go here for this research," the crimson figure said, stretching his back.

He stretched out his hand and slowly spread it out, only to see that he was holding a piece of crystal sand in his hand, and the sea of fire behind him flashed the fine sand in his hand.

"Next, the show is about to begin. With a cynical smile on his face, he slowly lifted the fine sand from his hand.

Then he fell gently behind him, and fell straight into the sea of fire.

He raised his right hand and pointed at the sand, as if he wanted to touch them, as if to say goodbye to them.

Suddenly, a sea of fire erupted violently, engulfing him completely.

The fine sand drifted in the dark starry sky, like stars in the sky.

......

In June 2020, Earth time, it has been two years since the disaster erupted, and the impact of the disaster has not abated in the slightest.

......

On the long-distance bus, a teenager was idly scrolling through the news on his mobile phone at this time. The natural disaster is still being reported on the news, and you can see how serious the disaster is.

(According to preliminary statistics, more than 1 million people have been injured in this "natural disaster", and there is no list of deaths, but the economic damage caused by the natural disaster has reached an incalculable amount.)

The newspost bar is accompanied by several photos of the giant craters that have been given to the Earth by natural disasters and can be found all over the world.

"emm, such a disaster, no one was fatally injured, no matter how you look at it, it's so incredible" Mo Bai looked at the forum, and suddenly thought of whether the relevant departments were deliberately concealing the truth.

"Forget it, what does it have to do with me, I'm very lucky that it didn't affect me" Mo Bai put away his phone after a while of strolling around the forum.

"I always feel like something will happen when I go back this time. Mo Bai muttered to himself. He looked out the window at the scenery, and a hint of unease rose in his heart.

...

"It's still clean air in my hometown. The scorching sun was in the sky, and the strong sunlight made Mo Bai have to squint, and he really couldn't open his eyes.

"Xiaobai is back, why are you alone?" An old man beckoned to the young man, "Have you eaten?" Your aunt has just cooked a meal, go to our house today, and the two of us will have a good chat today. ”

"My family has something to do temporarily, so this time I came back alone, and I came to see you by the way. Mo Bai waved at the old man in response.

"I haven't seen you for more than two years, the longer the kid grows, the better he looks" The old man put down the farm work in his hand and walked towards Mo Bai with a big grin.

"Hey, Uncle Li is good, his body is getting stronger and stronger" Mo Bai smiled, "I have eaten on the road, so I won't trouble Uncle Li to entertain you today." ”

"Then how can it be done, the young man has to eat more, you know how delicious your Aunt Li's cooking is" Uncle Li is not happy, "Let's go, you have to come to me to sit down with me if you say anything today." ”

Mo Bai still couldn't resist Uncle Li's enthusiasm in the end, the old man could carry him back with one hand, what are you struggling with?

...

In this remote village, there are very few people living nearby, and most of them have moved to other cities for development, leaving a few families of elderly people who have no children and are reluctant to leave their hometowns.

"Yo! Xiaobai is back, come on, come on, I just made a meal, come and taste it. ”

"Aunt Li is still as young and beautiful as I remember after so many years. "Mo Bai sold a good job.

"Don't stand at the door and talk, come in. Uncle Li greeted.

Mo Bai was led into the door, looking at those old objects, and felt a lot of emotion. [I'm afraid these things are older than me]

...

A wooden table was cleaned up, and the three of them ate, and there were seven or eight dishes on the table, which was specially prepared by Aunt Li for Mo Bai.

"Come, eat more, look at your thin Aunt Li is distressed, you can't be a picky eater" Aunt Li kept adding vegetables to the teenager, nagging her parents over and over again.

Mo Bai looked at the dishes in the bowl that were more than rice and smiled bitterly. This... How did you finish eating?

"It's a shame that Xiaobai is back, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enjoy so many good dishes. Uncle Li slowly poured himself a glass of wine and said.

"In the future, I will come back often to see us lonely old people," Uncle Li quipped.

"Definitely, definitely. Mo Bai responded obediently.

"Speaking of Lao Li, the pit in the village next door to us seems to have been a little weird recently," Aunt Li said while adding vegetables to Mo Bai.

Mo Bai listened and his heart moved. [The kind caused by natural disasters?]

He hadn't been back for more than two years, and the natural disaster happened exactly two years ago, which had to make him think about it.

"Ah~ that pit. It's really weird, the last time we saw a few old guys, they couldn't stand up before they got to the front, and their backs were cold. Uncle Li shuddered as he recalled.

"Uncle Li, what kind of pit?" Mo Bai couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, a few years ago, something fell from the sky and smashed it, and the sound was loud, several times louder than thunder. Uncle Li took a sip of wine and continued: "There are many old houses in the village that have been collapsed, and the smoke of the pit can be seen from afar. ”

"People don't dare to go over, it's scary hot for miles," Aunt Li continued, "After a long time, the old people in the village bravely went over, and we learned that the deserted village next door had been smashed." That's a big pit!"

"That's... Has anyone gone down to see it?" Mo Bai was curious about what was in the pit.

"We old guys, our legs and feet are not good, no one dares to go down, if something happens, it is difficult to call someone to save it. Uncle Li said.

"Eh, Xiaobai, don't be curious to look at it, it's hard to fall" Aunt Li seemed to see what Mo Bai was thinking.

"Don't worry, Aunt Li, my curiosity is not so heavy" Mo Bai smiled.

In the afternoon, the few remaining families in the village always gather together. People will always be lonely when they are old, Mo Bai sighed.

......

In the afternoon, the villagers started to work again, and Mo Bai, who wanted to help, was rejected by the villagers...

He walked aimlessly through his childhood village, contrasting everything in front of him with the blurred images in his memory...

This time, I came back mainly to sweep the grave of my deceased grandfather.

The family is too busy to even have time to come back, so this matter can only be entrusted to him.

Mo Bai found his grandfather's tomb by impression...

Then the problem came, no one told him exactly what to do to sweep the grave.

This is embarrassing, Mo Bai sighed softly.

He gently lowered his backpack, took out a large stack of paper money that he had prepared before him, and set the paper money on fire in front of the grave, following the example of his elders.

Then he seriously kowtowed to his grandfather three times and got up to burn paper.

"Grandpa, Xiaobai came to visit you, I'm the only one who comes back this time, I don't know what to do, if there is anything inappropriate, you can take care of it, grandpa won't blame me." ”

Mo Bai was talking alone in front of the grave, telling his grandfather about his recent growth...

After doing all this, he got up and said goodbye to his grandfather.

"Where are you going next?" Mo Bai was a little confused.

He looked around and felt a little familiar, scratched his head, and was suddenly stunned: "! Isn't this the deserted village next door?!"

Only then did Mo Bai realize that his grandfather's grave was near a deserted village.

"The pit?" He was thoughtful.

He looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a deep pit so big that he couldn't see the other side.

"This is too exaggerated," Mo Bai exclaimed.

With such a big pit, my village was unharmed and unaffected. Really... Is it because it's too remote for Newton to manage?

"Would you like to go over and have a look?" Mo Bai was a little hesitant.

After hesitating, he involuntarily walked over.

Approaching the edge of the pit, Mo Bai retreated a little, because he felt panicked.

"Is it because of the excitement?" Mo Bai took a few more steps towards the edge of the pit.

The pit is very deep but you can still see to the end, it seems that it rained a few days ago, and there is a little water in the pit, and it looks a little muddy.

Mo Bai looked up at the sky, it was already evening, and he had to go back quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to walk when it was dark.

He didn't want to die, not everyone fell off the cliff and was saved by a white-bearded old man.

Thinking of this, he turned and left.

"!!" Mo Bai exclaimed.

He had lost his figure on the ground.

The boy's behavior proves to us a truth: don't go near the bank of a river or a cliff that will collapse.
