After dinner in the evening, Li Jing and I sat on the roof and watched the stars. There is a very beautiful drying platform on the roof of the second uncle's house, and the second uncle and the second aunt are watching the work of the series, and Li Jing and I climbed up to the drying platform with a small bench. It may not be as much neon as in the city, the night sky in the countryside is unusually clear, although I don't particularly understand constellations, but I still sigh at the vastness and beauty of the starry sky.

"It's so beautiful, if there are life forms in these stars we see, I wonder if they will be sitting on our drying platform with binoculars and observing us." Thinking of this, I suddenly stood up and waved my hand at the starry sky, "Hey, hello people from the other planet! ”

I turned my head to look at Li Jing and wanted to beckon him to wave with me, but I saw him looking at me like a fool: "Why are you looking at me like this?" I asked him.

He pursed his lips before saying: "The light we see from the space star is delayed, and the sunlight we see during the day is 8 minutes later than when it shines on its own, except for the sun, you see the brightest Sirius in the night sky now, 8 light years from the earth, which means that what we see now is what it was eight years ago." According to scientific statistics, it takes 100,000 years for a beam of light to pass through the Milky Way with a diameter of 100,000 light-years, so many of the stars we see today are what they looked like tens of thousands of years ago. In the same way, if one of them has a life form on it, he will see you tens of thousands of years later, and even when he comes to you, you will become the history of this planet tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago. But if you want aliens to see you, you might as well look into how you can turn yourself into a fossil. ”

"It's annoying." I hit him, "Really, I'm just sighing at the beauty of the night sky." ”

Li Jing also showed an aggrieved expression: "I'm just telling you the truth." ”

Just as he wanted to scold him again, the second aunt's voice came from downstairs: "Xiaozhi, your little sister Mu is coming to you." ”

Sister Xiao Mu? I subconsciously glanced at Li Jing, who had already picked up the bench and was about to go downstairs. Sister Xiao Mu is here, do you want to tell us about your troubles?

When you went downstairs, the second aunt told me that Sister Xiao Mu was waiting for me in my room, and said in my ear as if she was not at ease: "Xiaozhi, if you have any situation with Sister Xiao Mu, you have to tell the second aunt." ”

I hummed and agreed for a long time before I broke free from the second aunt's hands, and when I returned to the house, I found that Li Jing and Sister Xiao Mu were already sitting on the chair and waiting for me while drinking tea. It's just that there is no communication between the two of them at all, and although the atmosphere is not awkward, it is definitely not relaxed.

I smiled and found a chair to sit down, and my sister handed me the water: "Sister Xiao Mu, do you want to tell me about your troubles?" "After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to tell the truth.

Sister Xiao Mu nodded: "Your friend's words today made me think a lot, and it is true that if I hold the problem in my heart, I will never find a solution." So, I decided to talk to you anyway, but I really hope you don't tell anyone else about it. ”

I nodded in agreement.

Sister Xiao Mu said after being relieved: "Today I know that my second aunt and second uncle will definitely ask you why I came to chat with you, don't sue them first, just say that I have been worried about love recently, and they won't embarrass you anymore." I'll tell you the details tomorrow, but you must promise me that only a few of us will know about it. ”

I swore again, and Sister Xiao Mu talked to me about some other things before saying goodbye to us. may have decided to tell us about his troubles, and the atmosphere between him and Li Jing was not as tense as before. Although Li Jing still didn't say a word, he felt that the atmosphere around him had eased a lot. When I saw Sister Xiao Mu leave, I caught a glimpse of the second uncle and the second aunt pretending to be attentive to watching the TV show. When we passed by, the second uncle and the second aunt tried not to turn their heads to us and said goodbye to Sister Xiao Mu calmly, I lowered my head and smiled, and sent Sister Xiao Mu out.

Because it was night, Li Jing and I decided to send Sister Xiao Mu home, and then the puppets turned back again. The temperature in the countryside at night is lower than in the city, and when the light wind blows, it still makes me shiver.

"The fool came out wearing such a little bit of clothing." Li Jing took off his coat and wrapped it for me, and it was much warmer.

"You gave me your coat, what are you going to do with yourself?" I'm a little embarrassed to say.

"I wore thick clothes when I came out, and there was no heat island effect in the countryside in the city, so I made extra clothes in the evening. It's common sense. I really don't know how you got so big? "Li Jing's musical instrument has a strong flavor of disdain, which is really unpleasant. But it's true that now that I'm favored by Lord Li Jing, I can't refute anything, so I can only listen.

"That's right." I suddenly remembered what I wanted to say to Li Jing just now, "You are really amazing, Sister Xiao Mu really came to me to talk about my heart." ”

I couldn't see Li Jing's expression now: "Well, and I guess this matter must be a big deal, otherwise she wouldn't have repeatedly told you not to tell others." ”

"What could it be?"

"It's definitely not a matter of love, since Zhu Mu can let you use the matter of love as a shield, it means that what she is worried about has nothing to do with love. If it's a matter of work, I won't hide it from my family for so long. So aside from work and love, what else do you think will happen to her? ”

I thought about it for a long time and didn't have a clue: "I don't know, can you guess?" ”

Li Jing rubbed my hair at the door of the second uncle's house and chuckled: "Tomorrow she will sue you, what are you thinking about here?" ”

"I'm just curious, I want to know in advance!" I chased Li Jing into the door.

The next morning, I got up early in the morning on my day off and prepared breakfast with my second aunt. During the meal, the second aunt kept asking me about Sister Xiao Mu, intentionally or unintentionally, and I prevaricated with Li You, who Sister Xiao Mu taught yesterday. After breakfast, the second aunt and the second uncle went to work in the field, and after I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, I pulled Li Jing out in a hurry.

"If you could get up so early, you wouldn't be being read by the inspection team leader every week, right?" Li Jing was talking coolly on the side.

"You don't have to." I squeezed out these words from between my teeth, "You better keep a snack for a while to help Sister Xiao Mu solve his troubles." ”

The puppy Nini may have smelled us and kept barking in the yard, and Sister Xiao Mu put Nini back in the cage before welcoming us in.

"Sister Xiao Mu, you said yesterday that you would tell us today, what have you been worrying about lately, but you can't talk about it."

Sister Xiao Mu nodded: "I came to you today just to tell you about this matter." ”

After taking a sip of tea, Sister Xiao Mu calmed down her nervousness just now before she said to us: "I never knew how to talk about this matter, and the cause was actually a classmate of mine when I was in graduate school. You know that everyone goes their separate ways after graduation, and there are very few opportunities to get together again, so it's very popular to go on graduation trips with your classmates and friends. It was the same the year I graduated. Since the thesis has already been = completed, and there are still 2 months before the actual graduation, we discussed going out to play as a group. Hoping to be blessed by the gods in the future, we decided to visit Buddhist shrines. But we had made an appointment with 6 people in the dormitory, but one of the girls suddenly called and had a fever before leaving and didn't come with us. Because this girl is not usually very gregarious, we only asked her to invite her by the way, so when we learned that she couldn't go temporarily, the five of us were very relieved. The graduation trip was very good, but when we came back, something happened that led none of us to expect. ”

Speaking of this, Sister Xiao Mu swallowed her saliva: "We were supposed to go home separately, but we didn't know what was going on, so we decided to go back to the dormitory first. We saw the dormitory manager in front of the dormitory building, and she stopped us and said that our dormitory smelled again, and we hurried back to the dormitory, but the scene in front of us made all of us scream at that time. ”

Hearing her say this, I suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart, wouldn't it?

Sure enough, I guessed correctly, and Sister Xiao Mu's face turned pale: "We saw the body of the girl who didn't go with us." ”

"Huh?" I let out an exclamation unconsciously.

Sister Xiao Mu looked at me with a little apology in her eyes: "I'm sorry, I scared you." But that's exactly what the scene looked like at the time. ”

"Then why haven't I heard you mention it?" I remember that Sister Xiao Mu hadn't graduated at that time, so she should still be living in my house.

"At that time, you happened to be sick and resting at home, and I was afraid that it would affect your condition, so I didn't tell you. Because there is a custom in my hometown that I can't go back to see the sick when I meet a corpse, I made do with it at my classmate's house for two days. At that time, I called home and said that I wanted to play outside for two more days before going back, so I haven't mentioned this matter to you, I'm really sorry. ”

Was I sick at the time? How come I don't remember? Forget it, Sister Xiao Mu was always sick from the year she graduated from graduate school to the time I met Li Jing, so it's common sense not to remember. But it's been so long since this incident, why do you feel that Sister Xiao Mu is still very scared? I told Sister Xiao Mu my questions.

Sister Xiao Mu hesitated for a moment, but still told us the truth intermittently: "I always feel that the dead girl is resurrected." ”
