Chapter 4: Lao Chen (2)

The remaining dark shadow in front of me gradually faded, and I found myself standing alone somewhere in Wangxing Village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoTen years or more ago, people didn't even think to map such a humble village, and after the blockade was erected, no one entered, so I could only wander around the village by feeling.

I looked around. Be quiet. This is my deepest feeling about Wangxing Village, and it is difficult for people who have not experienced isolation to understand. Our daily lives are surrounded by sound. The sound, the rumbling of wheels, the sound of people talking, the advertisements on TV, the hawkers in the streets, the humming of computers. People in the city are so immersed in this intertwined sound 24 hours a day that we have made it the background sound of life by default. I think if you were to map all the cell phone communications, radio signals, and sound waves from vehicles, people in the city would look like sardines crammed into a dense illegal fishing net.

I never felt that there was anything wrong with that sound, until I was standing in the middle of the main road in Wangxing Village, and suddenly all noise was lost in my ears. I heard the wind blowing over the horizon, "rustling" softly between the leaves. The sound of the woods is like waves blowing through people's hearing.

I heard the birds, like carefree children, sometimes chirping, sometimes attracted by something, suddenly silenced, and then tentatively "chirping, chirping" a few times.

Did you know that bird calls sound so different? Some are round and crisp, some are rough and dejected, "quack-quack-quack", in the deep mountains.

The sun gradually warmed up, and the golden orange-red sun shone on the small village, and the lush meadows seemed to be covered with a fluffy halo. The shadows of the trees fell from the top of my head and swayed comfortably at my feet.

I didn't know where to go, but thinking that all the mystery should lie in the astronomical observatory, I headed for the northeast corner.

Before I could take two steps, I heard a female voice, almost close to my ear, saying "Slow down, don't rush." "It wasn't loud, but it sounded like it was exploding on the ground. My hairs exploded in an instant, and I staggered back two steps, instinctively trying to get away from the sudden sound.

It wasn't until I took a few steps back that I could vaguely see the light of two humanoids, hooking their fingers and passing me. I stood there, my heart rumbling from the fright, but they were comfortable. The slightly thinner girl walked briskly, dragging the female light behind her idly looking at the scenery.

"My hometown is beautiful, isn't it?" The humanoid light in front of him stopped, and looked up at each other. Even though it was just a silhouette of a fixed form of light, I could see the huge smile on her face.

"yes, it's beautiful." The humanoid light behind him, judging by his voice and posture, should be Cen Xiao, he turned his head sideways and looked at Lin Hai in the distance for a while, and then said softly.

"I'll tell you that you won't be wrong, this place is really suitable as an observation point." Then this light and shadow should be the White Moon Deer. I still remember her ID photo, with playful short haircuts, aura in her eyes, very cute girl.

Cen Xiao chuckled, pretending to be serious, but there was still a joke in his voice: "I didn't recommend this place as a location because of you." ā€

"Oh, I know, I know." Bai Yuelu waved his hand, "But I'm still very happy to be able to go back here with you." For some reason, I felt that her posture seemed to have changed at this time, and the center of gravity of her body began to tilt towards the person next to her, and her shoulders were almost against Cen Xiao's shoulders.

Then I heard her whispering, shyly, leaning over to Cen Xiao's ear and biting her ear: "It's just to take you home to see your parents." Then the two of them looked at each other for a long second, and I guessed that there was a smile on Cen Xiao's face. Then she turned her face away and pretended to continue looking at the scenery.

I stood about two meters behind them, speechless in shock. Behind me, the already dumb hamlet. Wangxing Village, Wangxing Village, how many secrets are you still hiding?

I watched the two figures walking in front of me talking and laughing, and the light of the silhouette of a minivan in the distance slowly drove over, followed by the humanoid light of the village elder Chen. As soon as they saw him, the two immediately let go of their hands, and Bai Yuelu trotted over to call him first: "Uncle Faithful!" ā€

"Oh, little deer, he said the Wangxing Village Astronomical Observatory." Lao Chen waved at them, "This is yours, right?" ā€

"Yes, yes." Bai Yuelu nodded hurriedly, leaned to the driver's window to sign for the goods, and then instructed him how to drive over.

"That's good," Lao Chen said, rubbing his hands, "Oh, I'm afraid that some enemy will come to sabotage, and I don't dare to let them in." "The ecology of small villages and towns is like this, looking down and not looking up, any external thing is an impact on their relatively closed social environment.

After the image of the van slowly drove away, Lao Chen spoke again: "I said, Xiaolu, what are you doing?" ā€

Bai Yuelu's light and shadow stopped for a second, and then he said, "Oh, it's just some fixed equipment." ā€

"Oh, oh." Lao Chen nodded, "That... Was it sent directly from above? ā€

Bai Yuelu was obviously confused by his question, and said helplessly: "Uncle Zhongzhong, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." ā€

"Oh," the village chief looked polite, making me even wonder if he had made the White Moon Deer the head of the observatory, "yes, what. You see, you're also from our village, right? ā€

"Huh?" Bai Yuelu turned around a little at a loss, and saw Cen Xiaozheng standing behind him, listening to the words of the village chief with some kind of demeanor.

"What... If there is anything we can do, let the villagers help. You see, isn't Uncle Jia's son driving a truck? How convenient is it to help you deliver the goods? As soon as the village chief said this, I reacted, it turned out that he had taken a fancy to the government grant from the astronomical observatory and wanted to generate some income for the village.

Although seeing Bai Yuelu's blank appearance, it seemed that he didn't understand, but obviously Cen Xiao had already reacted, put his hand on the shoulder of the girl next to him, and took over the right to speak: "Don't worry, village chief, if there is anything we can do, we will definitely ask the people in the village for help first." The price is based on the market price, so you don't have to bother showing them the way every time. ā€

No matter how stupid the person is, he also understood the meaning of Lao Chen's words, and Bai Yuelu hurriedly responded: "Yes, I will ask the villagers in the future." The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Lao Chen asked them if they had seen the child of the second aunt's family, saying that the teacher had reported that he had been absent from school for several days, and the family could not find him, so he was afraid that he had run away from home. Bai Yuelu shook his head, saying that they had been in the observatory all day and didn't see anyone else, but they would be careful.

So Lao Chen also left, leaving only Bai Yuelu and Cen Xiao. The fawn's head hung down, and I looked a little embarrassed, and I stood dozens of meters away from them, unable to hear the whispered conversation between the two of them, and felt that I should not snoop. Just quietly looking at Cen Xiao's light, he raised his hand and rubbed the short hair on the back of Bai Yuelu's head comfortingly.

Bai Yuelu raised her head slightly, and the two lights and shadows walked silently for a while, and then she spoke: "By the way, do you think the lead plate will have an effect?" What the hell is that, are you sure it's an intelligent being? ā€

Cen Xiao sighed: "I don't know either... But since your calculations have found that it responds steadily to our actions, we need to be prepared for 'it' to have a certain amount of intelligence, or even 'live'. ā€

"Incredible." Bai Yuelu sighed, his voice full of amazement and excitement, "A living creature that exists in the four-dimensional space-time!" It's hard to imagine what it really is. ā€

"Yes..."Cen Xiao's voice gradually faded away, the light in front of him dimmed, and only the empty village remained, and the long light trail behind them gradually faded into the air, just like their unknown secrets.
