At night, the moon and stars are scarce.

It is a farm, surrounded by large green farmland, without the noise of the big city, only the occasional chirping of insects and frogs, like a band singing in this calm night, showing the unique tranquility of the countryside.

Chen Mengran lay on a half-human-high mound of earth with his pillow in his hands, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, listening to the insects around him, while looking at the night sky in a daze.

It's been half a month since I came to my aunt's farm, and he comes here almost every night. Growing up in the hustle and bustle of the big city since he was a child, such silence is rare, in addition to enjoying the temporary tranquility, more importantly, under this tranquility, he can escape, escape from the biggest setback in life.

Half a month ago, Chen Mengran failed the college entrance examination and lost his name to Sun Shan, tasting the biggest setback in 20 years. Such a setback was actually expected, and the reason why I said this was because of his failure, not an accident.

There are fifty-four people in the class, and his grades have always been outside the forty, and the last mock test score was 421 points, such a result, unless it is a super long performance in the college entrance examination, otherwise, it is impossible to get into the ideal university. Therefore, such a failure is doomed.

However, Chen Mengran has always disbelieved in fate, he thinks that as long as he works hard, he will definitely get good results in the exam. In order not to disappoint his parents, but also for his own future, Chen Mengran studied hard every day, especially after the third year of high school, he only slept less than five hours a day, and the rest of the time was to study except for eating and going to the toilet.

However, it turns out that his thinking is wrong, there are indeed many things in this world that require effort, but on the contrary, you do not necessarily get rewarded for your efforts. Chen Mengran belongs to the latter, after three years of hard work, he finally only scored 424 points, which is even lower than some students who only know how to play all day, which makes Chen Mengran lose confidence in the future.

The day after learning the results, he left home and came to his aunt's farm, he did not dare to go home, and he had no shame to face his parents. Thinking of his parents' disappointed expressions, Chen Mengran's heart ached.

Although he lives in a big city, Chen Mengran's family is very bad. My father works in a factory, and his income is not much, and he has to provide for his own schooling, and the family has no surplus. In order to supplement the family, the mother has to take care of the family while also relying on odd jobs to increase the family's meager income.

Doing so much is for the sake of their only son, hoping that he will have a good future in the future. Now, they are disappointed, four hundred and twenty-four points, this is Chen Mengran's reward for them. He vaguely remembered that when he told his parents about his results, they seemed to age a lot in an instant.

At that moment, Chen Mengran only felt that his heart was dripping blood, he was worthy of himself, he really worked hard, he didn't even dare to fall in love like other classmates. Of course, a person like him is not qualified.

Chen Mengran is a public in terms of size and appearance, has no characteristics, and has no good family background, how can any girl take a fancy to him.

"It doesn't matter, if you don't do well in the exam this time, stay one level and take a good university next time. When she learned of Chen Mengran's college entrance examination results, Chen's mother said so.

"Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore, I want to earn money for my family. Chen Mengran said.

"Earn money, what do you take to make money, it doesn't matter if you don't have a degree in these years, you still want to make money. Chen's father roared at Chen Mengran, venting his disappointment in his heart for this son.

"I don't think there's a need to repeat a grade, since you can't get into a good school, it's not bad to go to a junior college, choose a good major, and you can still find a job after graduation. Back then, there were also a large number of dignitaries from public institutions who graduated from junior colleges. Father Chen said.

"Dad, you also said it, that was back then, decades ago, at that time, there were few college graduates, so naturally you could find a good job. But now it's different, there are too many universities, and you can't find a good job at all. ”

Father Chen glared at him, Chen Mengran didn't dare to refute anymore, and just like that, his future was decided.

Returning to reality from his memories, looking at the quiet night sky, Chen Mengran chewed the grass in his mouth and muttered: "There are five days left, and I have to go back, hey, I really don't want to go back." ”

In five days, he will go back to school to fill in the application, but now, he still doesn't know what kind of major to choose, these days, it doesn't matter if you don't have connections, unless you are really outstanding, otherwise, it is still very difficult to find a job.

Thinking of the bleak future, Chen Mengran became upset and irritable, and spit out the grass in his mouth. He stood up and patted the dirt off his body. Looking back at the two-story building at a hundred meters away, it was my aunt's house, at this time, the small building was dark, Chen Mengran knew that her aunt and cousin had already fallen asleep, and knew that it was not too early, and she should go back to sleep. He glanced nostalgically at the quiet night sky, turned around and was about to walk back, but suddenly stopped again, and he saw a glimmer of light passing through the night sky.

"What's that?" Chen Mengran looked at the sudden bright light in surprise: "Meteor?"

Thinking about it in his heart, he suddenly found that the light was getting brighter and brighter, and it was actually flying towards him. Before Chen Mengran could react, he heard a crash sound from a hundred meters ahead. The sound was not very loud, but it was very harsh in the quiet night sky, which frightened Chen Mengran to sit on the ground.

It took a long time for Chen Mengran to recover from the shock, and then he realized that he was actually scared out of a cold sweat.

"Damn, what's that?" Chen Mengran scolded in a low voice. After scolding, my heart calmed down a lot.

"It can't be a meteorite. Chen Mengran had such a thought in his heart.

Meteorites are rocks that fall into the earth from outer space, collectively referred to as meteorites.

The more Chen Mengran thought about it, the more he felt that it was a meteorite, and his curiosity was aroused, since that thing fell not far away, why not go and take a look.

Thinking of it, Chen Mengran walked towards the landing point of the light, he wanted to see what it was.

I thought it was not far away, but after walking more than a hundred meters, I didn't see any stones or smashed out of the pit, Chen Mengran suddenly felt disappointed, and walked forward another hundred meters, but there was still nothing.

Just as his patience ran out and he wanted to go back to sleep, he suddenly found a flash of light at a distance of ten meters in front of him, and it disappeared in a flash. The light was faint, but it stood out in the night.

Chen Mengran was aroused by curiosity and walked over. With the help of memory, I picked up the grass and finally touched an object after touching it for a long time. Picking it up, with the help of the moonlight, Chen Mengran vaguely saw that it was a ring-shaped object, as big as an ordinary ring, and the tentacles were slightly cool, like a stone product. But if it's a stone, how can it shine, it seems that this thing is not as simple as a stone.

"This thing looks like it's worth some money, and I don't know how much it can be sold for. ”

After he plans to go back, find someone who knows how much it is worth, if he can sell it at a good price, he will sell it, and it can also reduce the burden on the family, anyway, it is for nothing.

Putting away the stone, he walked around again, and after making sure that there were no big stones around, he walked back to his aunt's small building. It was so late, he didn't dare to go too far, it was night after all. He was going to get up early in the morning during the day and look for it again, the day was no better than the night, and he had a good sight, and he could find any big rocks or smashed pits.

Walking into the small building, Chen Mengran tried his best to let his steps lighten, he didn't want to wake up his aunt's good dreams.

Chen Mengran's room was on the far right of the second floor, which was originally a storage room, and his aunt tidied up a little for him, made a bed, and became his bedroom. Originally, my aunt wanted him to sleep with my cousin, but my cousin didn't sleep honestly, turning over the bed and snoring, so Chen Mengran couldn't sleep, so my aunt prepared this temporary bedroom for him.

After returning to the room, Chen Mengran took off his clothes and lay on the bed, and took out the stone and played with it. With the help of the light of the table lamp, I found that this is really a stone, there is no pattern, not even color, the whole is gray, ordinary can no longer be ordinary.

"Why is it so ugly, it doesn't seem to be worth much. Chen Mengran's interest aroused by the stone suddenly disappeared halfway.

"Didn't it shine just now, why didn't it happen now, it couldn't be my own delusion. ”

After playing for a long time, he didn't find anything strange, Chen Mengran suddenly felt bored, and wanted to throw it into the garbage basket next to him, but felt a pity. Although it is not valuable, it is a small ornament.

So he found a red rope to pass through the stone and hung it around his neck. After doing this, he felt a wave of sleepiness, Chen Mengran sighed, turned off the lights, and quickly fell asleep.

As he fell asleep, the stone on his chest flickered.
