After leaving the psychiatric clinic, I felt empty and bored, I unconsciously looked at the sky, a white and bright ball hung in the sky, surrounded by brilliant nebulae, and the stars jumping in the sky were shining like diamonds.

When I got home, I washed up early and went to bed, and in the haze, I seemed to hear someone calling my name, I looked around, only to find myself in the middle of a turquoise path, and not far away was a hill.

"Chen Ye, you go quickly. ”

I immediately recognized the girl who called my name, walked up to her, and said to her, "What's so interesting about that mountain, especially there, there is nothing, and you can't do anything else when you finally rest?"

Xia Yan glanced at me, and continued to walk forward, saying as she walked, "If you want to take care of it, I'm willing." Anyway, you're idle, come out with me to see what's wrong?"

"Good, good. I said helplessly, and then quickened my pace and followed Xia Yan closely.

We went up the hill together, and in chatting with Xia Yan, I learned that this is an unknown hill behind the school. Because it has not been developed yet, although there are usually occasional people passing by, few people have climbed to the top of the mountain, and Xia Yan called me this time just to let me accompany her to the top of the mountain to have a look.

Xia Yan and I winded up the path, the trees in the forest were lush and shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun. In the distance, you can see the red walls and gray tiles on the side of the school, with the beautiful flowers at your feet, and the green pines and cypresses all over the mountain, making all this seem to become a faint ink painting, quiet, indifferent, and far away.

But after a while, the black clouds broke the silence, and the torrential rain crashed down, and in the blink of an eye, the sound of the rain roared together, and the sky seemed to crack through countless openings, and the torrential rain converged into a waterfall and poured down towards the earth. Suddenly, the heavens and the earth seemed to be separated by a veil, misty, and the rain became heavier and heavier, like a long gray whip, whipping the trees and stubborn stones in the mountains and forests.

Xia Yan and I were instantly drenched by the heavy rain, I took her hand and said, "There's a cave there, let's go and take shelter from the rain first." ”

"Good. Xia Yan replied.

I ran away and led Xia Yan to a cave not far away, and while Xia Yan was standing at the entrance of the cave, I took off my coat and wrung it out.

Xia Yan looked at the heavy rain outside the cave and said to me anxiously, "Chen Ye, what should we do now?" The road outside is flooded, and we can't go back to the original planned route. ”

"It's fine. I replied, then put my coat on, stood beside her, and looked out of the cave. The dark sky seemed to fall, the wind chased the torrential rain, and the path was full of stagnant water, and it flowed downward. Slippery rocks and tumbling dirt leave the trail completely devoid of footsteps.

I saw that there was no possibility of returning the same way, so I said to Xia Yan, "You wait for me here first, and I'll go to the cave to see if there are any other exits." ”

"No, I'm going with you. ”

Xia Yan's answer was a little unexpected to me, I was stunned for a moment, and then promised: "Okay then, then you follow me." ”

The cave was dark and quiet, I used my mobile phone to light the road, holding Xia Yan's hand to find the exit, the road was boring, so I teased Xia Yan: "Are you afraid of staying there alone?"

"I'm not afraid. Xia Yan replied pretending to be strong.

She straightened her back as she spoke, letting go of my hand, and pretending not to be afraid of anything. After walking for a while, she suddenly said to me: "This road is so long, there is no light yet, Chen Ye, I have the illusion that we have to go on forever." ”

"What are you thinking, it's a big deal that we just go back the way we came, it's okay. I reassured.

"But it's so dark here, we ......"

Hearing her say this, I hurriedly teased again: "Didn't you say that you weren't afraid?"

"I'm not afraid. She shouted loudly, only this time, she approached me again and quietly tugged at the corner of my coat.

In this way, I took Xia Yan and walked forward, and after walking for about ten minutes, Xia Yan suddenly asked me, "Chen Ye, do you know Voyager 1?"

"I don't know, what is that?"

"Voyager 1 is currently the farthest flying vehicle ever flew. ”

I wasn't interested in what she was talking about, so I casually asked, "And where is it going?"

Xia Yan continued seriously: "Originally, it was just to visit Saturn and Jupiter, and after completing the mission, it has been flying forward, and now it has left the solar system and entered the interstellar medium. ”

I saw that she was so serious, and I was a little more serious, and asked her, "Why did you suddenly say this?"

"I also thought of it suddenly. Xia Yan looked at me and said: "On this flying machine, there is a record called "Sound of the Earth", which is full of photos of the earth, and there are scenes of Chinese people eating banquets around the dinner table, not only that, but there are also world-famous songs on it, as well as greetings from various voices and languages, which is the warmest greeting from the earth to the big universe." ”

I still couldn't understand why she was suddenly saying this, and I didn't know what to ask for a while.

Before I could speak, Xia Yan said to me again: "Chen Ye, don't you think that this record gave life to Voyager 1." ”

I was about to answer when she interrupted me and said, "No, it's not just life, it's even feelings, even breathing, it's this record that brings Voyager 1 to life." ”

"It's interesting, but why do you say that?" Hearing this, I became interested, thinking that Xia Yan must have something to say to me.

"You think, Voyager 1 travels alone in the universe without company, and after visiting Mars and Jupiter, it doesn't even have a mission of its own, as if it had been abandoned by humans. ”

"Yes. I chimed in.

Xia Yan looked at me, her eyes widened, and she said to me seriously: "However, it is this record, it is it that has given life to Voyager 1 again, and has given it the mission of spreading the culture of the earth in the universe. ”

I thought about it for a while, and felt that what Xia Yan said was indeed very reasonable, and it was the record that gave Voyager 1 the meaning of cruising in the universe, so I continued to echo and said, "That's right." ”

"So, I'm not afraid now, because Chen Ye is like a record in my life, no matter when, as long as you are still there, I have the motivation to keep myself alive and keep moving forward, even in the boundless and dark universe, I have a way forward. Xia Yan looked at me and said very seriously.

However, this time I didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, and I saw her seriousness and innocence from between her eyebrows.

She then asked me, "Chen Ye, what about you, do you think of me when you are lonely?"
