Chapter 30: Looking Up at the Stars (2333)
Mia was still on duty at night, and she was looking at the sky boredly.
The sun has sunset into the distant mountain tops, and the afterglow is still shining on the horizon. The evening glow illuminates the training camp from the black mountain tops.
The training city is huge, but it looks small in this forest.
The sky is getting darker and darker, the afterglow of the sun is sinking into the distant horizon little by little, and the stars are rising quietly from the sky on the other side.
When the sun's rays completely dissipated, the night sky was full of stars.
Astronomy in the fifteenth century had not yet developed, and the constellations were not yet known, but this did not stop people from praising and longing for the stars.
While there is no daytime view of the end of the horizon and the light of everything in the sun, the starry sky at night has a beauty and fantasy that will never be seen during the day.
When the stars fill the night sky, standing under the starry sky and looking at the thousands of vast stars in the sky, you can appreciate the vastness that you can't experience on the ground, and you can see the vastness from the sky and your own insignificance
Poets have used all the words of praise they can think of in their hearts on the starry sky over and over again, and all the feelings that can be expressed in their hearts have been written on paper again and again, but they can never fully describe the beauty of the starry sky.
That's an area that people can't reach. It's because it's untouchable, so it's beautiful.
Mia pressed her hands against the table and looked at the sky with her little face.
She deliberately moved the table and chairs out of the room, just to see the beauty that only comes at night.
When she looked at the starry sky, there was a strange glint in her eyes.
It seems to be a vision, like a fantasy.
Perhaps, there is a starry sky in every girl's heart. And the beauty of that starry sky only belongs to yourself, and only you can see the beauty of that starry sky.
Xiu quietly passed by Mia, picked up a bag of horseweed and a small bag of wheat, and prepared to leave.
"Xiu, do you like stars?"
οΌ
Xiu turned back for some unknown reasons.
"The stars are beautiful, I love them all."
"Really?" Mia finally looked away from the stars, as if she was interested in Xiu a little more. Gently pulling the long slanted hair with her bare hands, letting it fall behind her, Mia held her face and looked at Xiu lazily: "Do you have a favorite star?" β
"Favorite?" Xiu thought about it, "The stars in the sky are all beautiful, which one is beautiful, and I haven't thought about it yet." β
"That's rightβ" Mia's face rubbed in her palm, and she looked up at the stars.
"Can you see the brightest star in the sky?" Mia asked.
"The brightest one?" Xiu raised his head and searched.
He put the horse grass down and looked seriously. The stars are beautiful, but there are also bright and dark ones. Thousands of stars twinkle one after another, making the starry sky look full of vitality. The large and small lights made Xiu quickly sink into it, and for a while he forgot what he was doing, just wanted to keep this starry sky firmly in his heart.
He suddenly woke up when his eyes were suddenly shining with a star. The star is so bright that it is impossible to ignore it throughout the night sky. It's so bright, it's so beautiful.
"Is that the one?" Xiu pointed to the star.
"Well, it's it." Mia nodded, "Is it pretty?" β
"It's beautiful, he's the brightest one, of course it's beautiful!" Xiu nodded affirmatively.
"That's... Can you see the stars that accompany it? Mia asked again.
"This..."Xiu looked at it, "Do you mean the stars next to you?" Xiu pointed to a few shining stars next to him.
"Nope. This star is the brightest in the sky. It brings a lot of joy to children at night, points the way to the lost, and puts the stars in focus. This star shines the brightest. However, it is also lonely.
"It was the brightest star, but he had no other star to accompany it. You see. Mia raised a finger to point to the other stars, then rested them on the table, "They seem to be close, but their positions haven't changed. From the beginning it was so far, and now it is so far away. β
"Until one day, my father said to me, 'Mia, that star isn't as lonely as you think. Outside of your sight, there is a dark star. It's a star that doesn't shine. The star in the north is too bright for the other glowing stars to come close, but a star without light is fine...'" Mia wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped.
"I'm telling you what you're doing, Ma Cao, come and register."
I don't know why, but I still obediently went to register.
Xiu returned to the dormitory to finish the horse grass for the black horse, and sat at the table looking at the textbooks handed out today.
"Otto, do you like to look at the stars?" Xiu suddenly asked.
"Do you think I have the time and mood to look at the stars?" Otto glanced at him, feeling that Xiu was a little bored.
"Oh...."Xiu didn't get an answer, a little unhappy. But he quickly collected his mood, continued to read, and went to bed when he was tired.
When the next morning, when Xiu went to get the horse grass, Mia fell asleep on the table as usual. But Xiu already knew why she was asleep.
The stars are fascinating.
When you look up and look at the starry sky, as long as you have curiosity about it, if you have questions, you will keep looking, and the pain in your neck will bring you back to reality before you realize that you have been watching it for a long time. It's too easy for people to get intoxicated and not realize it, and when the body is sleepy, it will naturally fall asleep.
Xiu gently draped Mia's coat over her. Mia rubbed it, as if dreaming of something.
"Daddy," she whispered.
Xiu froze. He didn't dare to make a louder noise, so he took the horse grass and left, leaving Mia, who was still immersed in her dreams.
Today's two courses are Latin and Marching.
Since there was no Honkai course, Otto undoubtedly fled again. Xiu has always wondered why there are no instructors to catch people who skip class.
Learning Latin is very... Magical.
The lecture was taught by an elderly godfather, whose hair was gray and dry, and bald, looking like sparse hay. Her face was full of wrinkles, but his voice was not too old, on the contrary, there was some middle-aged strength. What catches the eye is his eyes.
Completely inconsistent with his age, these eyes were too bright. The eyes are so attentive and so deep, like the vast sea, but they are calm.
The old man named Augustine turned the Latin literature department into a theater scene.
He directly invited several students to come up and perform. He taught a few lines of the play in Latin, and when the students completed the play in Latin, the students in the audience applauded enthusiastically.
No, because it was interesting, and because the play was done in Latin, the students thought it was amazing, albeit reluctantly.
Because they simply won't.
Many people learn the language of their own country or region, and their language is not uniform at all, and there are even dozens of variations of the mother tongue in each country, not to mention the local dialects.
Although Latin is the lingua franca, it is not easy to learn, so few people take the initiative to learn Latin except for heirs. Even the heirs of the family have many who are forced to learn by their elders.
And the bishop easily taught the students a short simple drama, and it seems that he is a very profound person.
And the teacher of the afternoon class is Suzanne.
When the fiery red hair appeared in the eyes of the students, everyone held their breath. No matter what Suzanne usually is, as long as it's time to get serious, she always has an aura that suffocates the recruits.
"Surprised, surprised?" Suzanne smiled slyly. The students collectively shuddered.
When Suzanne's tactical high-soled boots stood up with two crunchs, all the students involuntarily stood up.
'Brush! β
There was a clear sound.
"Sit down, this course is going to be practiced with you, so I'll be the teacher."
The students sat down.
This course talks about the arrangement of their marches in the future, military regulations, tactical positions, and so on.
So after the lecture was finished, it was useless to talk about the rest, Suzanne sat directly on the podium, folded her legs and chatted with the students for an afternoon, and then realized that it was not yet time for the end of class...
She simply left class early.
