Chapter 2: Uncle's Story

"That year, when I was 24 years old, my painting 'Huangshan Love' won the first prize in the oil painting group of the Global Painting Competition in Japan, so I went to Japan to receive the award. www.biquge.info It was April, and it was cherry blossom season in Japan, so I took the time to go to Ueno Park in Tokyo to see the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms there are really beautiful, large and large, as if they are layers of pink clouds, and when the breeze blows, the small petals are scattered in the wind, and I feel like I am walking in the cherry blossom rain. When I was immersed in the scent of cherry blossoms, suddenly a girl's voice came from behind me: "Sir, are you Chinese?" Since she spoke Chinese, I was so kind and surprised that I looked back and saw that it was a very beautiful girl. I greeted her and asked her what was the matter? She said that she had just come from China, and there was only one person who asked me if I would like to enjoy the flowers with her. I agreed, and in my conversation with her, I found that she was an elegant and knowledgeable person, she was familiar with the humanities, geography, history of various countries, and knew several foreign Chinese languages, and I couldn't help but admire her, and when we parted, we agreed to continue playing together the next day. Uncle picked up the teacup, lifted the lid of the tea, and took a sip of tea. The room was suddenly filled with an orchid-like fragrance, and I knew that it was the fragrance of "Huangshan Maofeng". "Huangshan Maofeng" is a special product of She County, it is produced in Huangshan, Anhui Province, mainly distributed in the Yungu Temple, Songgu Nunnery, Suspension Bridge Gelding, Ciguang Pavilion and Bansi of Taohua Peak. Due to the high mountains and dense forests, short sunshine and many clouds, the tea trees are moistened by the clouds and mist, and gradually become a good quality. When brewing, the mist is topped, the fragrance is overflowing, refreshing, the aroma is long-lasting like Lanhui, mellow and refreshing, and the aftertaste is sweet. It can be described as "delicate and refined, a fairy in tea".

"And then?" I asked. Uncle looked at me and continued, "In the next few days, we kept playing together, and gradually we were attracted to each other and fell in love. But the strange thing is that every time I ask her where she is from and ask her something about her family, she will divert from the topic. As my visa date approached, I offered her several times to come back with me, but she refused. I was really disappointed, and I thought maybe she didn't love me. But it doesn't look like it, because I can feel that she can't give up on me. Several times late at night, I saw her standing in front of the window looking up at the stars in contemplation, and sometimes I found her caressing my face and crying secretly. Just the night before my car accident, she told me something unbelievable. She said that she was not from this era, she came from a millennium later. She told me that due to the massive exploitation of natural resources, the wanton destruction of the ecological environment, and the impact of war, the earth in a thousand years will be completely different from what it is now. Many species are extinct, the global average temperature is about 10 degrees warmer than it is now, the glaciers at the poles have long since melted, and the land area on Earth is very small, very little. Humanity has endured wars, diseases and natural disasters, and the population is only about 100 million. In order to protect the scarce terrestrial resources, human settlements have moved from the land to the water, and all those scarce terrestrial resources have been exploited to grow food for humans and animals. Technology was already so advanced that people could purify seawater into fresh water, build houses on the water, and invent time machines. "Time machine?" I asked, surprised. "Yes, she came to our time in a time machine, in her words called time travel." Uncle replied. "Have you seen that?" I then asked. "Nope." "She said she didn't come alone, she was part of a time travel group, and this time there were 20 people coming, but they were distributed in various countries, and she came to Japan because she wanted to see the cherry blossoms," the uncle said. She also said that the rulers of her time, fearing that the use of time machines would rewrite history, had a very strict system of people who participated in time travel, and injected a drug into each person who participated in the trip, and if anyone did not return on time, the consequences would be very serious. The day after she told me what had happened, we had a car accident. When I woke up, I found myself in the hospital, and I asked the traffic cops who found me, where was she? But they all said that only two people and the driver were found at the scene, and there was no third person, and then I went to ask the taxi driver, but I didn't expect him to have amnesia, until I accidentally found the note she left for me, I didn't know that she went back. "After listening to my uncle's narration, I fell into deep thought." Do you believe what I say? "Uncle looked at me and asked silently." Uncle, I know this must have happened, and you must have met that girl, but do you believe what she said? It's so surprising that you've met a futuristic person! "I knew no one would take my word for it." The uncle lowered his head with a disappointed face. "Do you really believe what she says, and she won't be lying to you? Does she have proof that she is a person of the future? "Seeing that Uncle has been deeply immersed in his deep affection for that woman for so many years, how the best youth and time of a man are gone, I really feel worthless for him, I really want Uncle to wake up quickly. I always felt that maybe it was really just a trap, that girl was just a decoy. "She's pregnant, I don't know what punishment she'll be punished when she goes back?" Suddenly, these words came out of the uncle's mouth. "You mean, you're with her, so you've been looking for her all the years, and you don't believe what she's saying?" I asked.

"Quiet summer, starry in the sky, some thoughts in my heart, missing your face......" Liang Jingru's beautiful singing voice suddenly sounded, it turned out to be my mobile phone ringing, I picked it up and looked, it was an unfamiliar number: "Hello! Who's looking for me? "Hah! Ha! Ha! "There was a woman's hideous laughter from inside! I was so scared that I threw my phone out! "What's wrong?" Uncle asked with concern. "It's her! It's her! It's that woman! I cried and shouted, and the appearance of the woman in white clothes, with a pale face and long black hair, suddenly came to my mind, and my intuition was that she must be her! Uncle picked up the phone and asked me to try dialing the number again, but it came inside: "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is empty!" "But I heard her laugh just now? Could it be that she came from hell, why did she come to me? Countless questions came over me.
