The little girl in a black down jacket sat on a swing, rubbed her ears with her yellow gloved hands, and let out a mouthful of white mist.

A line of footprints stretched from the door of the second-story villa in the distance, and the snow was clean and smooth, as if she was the only one between the world and the world. It is a lone swing that sits in an open space in front of the villa, surrounded by a low white wooden fence. Beyond the fence, there is a small path, and more than a dozen villas are scattered in the snow, looking lonely and lonely.

It wasn't dawn yet, but the sky was already white. She stared intently at the white mountains to the east, curling her neck only occasionally to keep the morning wind from pouring in.

Behind the mountains, the clouds turn from pale white to pale yellow, and then from pale yellow to orange-red, and the light becomes more and more dazzling. The sun finally showed its head, and the whole cloud was gilded with vivid light and shadow, and the sky became vivid and gorgeous.

The increasingly intense light made the little girl bow her head slightly, and then sighed in a tone that was not in proportion to her age: "It's the New Year." ”

On January 22, 2015, the eleventh day after Yu Qingqing came to the other side of the ocean.

Little children seem to be much better at adapting than adults. In just a few days of comfortable life, her face was round and white again, and her hair became soft and black. Ye Zhixing tied her in a ponytail, so that this little girl seemed clean and refreshing, which was particularly attractive.

However, it was sparsely populated, and the only person she could contact in a few days was Ye Zhixing. Although there are Internet and games, Ye Zhixing is like a real parent who does not allow her to touch more. But she was obviously worried, for the little girl had been worried for the last few days. Most of the time I sat alone on a swing in the snow.

However, Ye Zhixing had his own things to headache, and he didn't have time to pay too much attention to Yu Qingqing.

In fact, things deviated a little from her original intention - she originally planned to train Yu Qingqing with her own set of methods, let her become her own disciple or student, and pass on some of the things she had always cherished in her heart. However, now, all the previous plans have been disrupted, and everything has become unknowable.

But the only thing that comforts her is that at least they are from their hometown.

In such a strange and uncertain country, there is nothing more comforting than the people of the homeland.

The sun jumped over the mountains, and the snow-capped mountains turned orange. Yu Qingqing jumped off the swing and took off his gloves. Leaned over and held a snowball on the ground with his wet little hands.

Then she looked around.

On the right-hand side is an empty path. There are several houses on the other side of the path. At night, she would see that there were lights inside, which were supposed to be inhabited. But no one ever came out, or they only came out late at night.

To the left and right is a forest. She didn't know what kind of tree it was, but it was a twig. It covers a wide area. The branches grow very low. Even the underside of the trunk is covered. Although the leaves have fallen in winter. However, in the morning light, it was still a blur.

She thought for a moment and rolled the snowball on the ground a little bigger. Hold your hands in the air, raise them high above your head, and throw them hard at the bushes.

The snowball flew several meters away, arcing through the air and sinking behind the trees.

Then she heard an exclamation, "Ah! ”

It seems to be a girl's voice. But Yu Qingqing was taken aback - she didn't know when there would be more people there.

However, after that, my heart jumped slightly. Because this was the first time she had seen anyone other than Ye Zhixing in these days.

After the call, a red figure came out from behind the bushes, and while playing with the snow residue on his face in a slightly embarrassed way, he pulled the clothes scraped on the branches, and said something to Yu Qingqing. But she used English, which Yu Qingqing didn't understand. She felt that the other party might be angry, so she shouted timidly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know there was someone there." ”

The man behind the bushes finally stumbled out - it was a little girl. The size is about the same as Yu Qingqing, maybe a little taller. She wears a large red cloak and a hood on her head, which looks very much like "Little Red Riding Hood" from a fairy tale.

It's just unclear if Little Red Riding Hood has blonde hair like the burning sun. They poured out from the sides of the hood and spread them on their chests, reflecting the glow of gold in the morning light.

But no sooner had the little girl been freed from the twig than she let out an "oops" again. Perhaps preoccupied with her face and clothes, her left foot tripped over her right, and she leaned over—

Poof! I fell into the snow again.

Yu Qingqing was taken aback!

Because she knows about "concussion"! She hurriedly stepped on the deep snow and ran there with a shallow foot, thinking with great worry as she ran...... Did I give her a concussion?

But as soon as she ran in front of the little girl, she saw her standing up and waving her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'm okay!" This time she spoke in Chinese, and although her pronunciation was not standard, she could still understand it. It's just that her tone sounded a little strange, as if it was she who did something wrong instead of Yu Qingqing.

Qingqing was stunned and didn't know what to do, and while watching her staggering to her feet, she leaned out slightly—because this child's movements were really reluctant, she was quite worried that she would trip herself again and fall again.

But she finally regained her balance, patted the snow foam off her body indiscriminately, and seemed to be trying to show herself a decent and steady smile - such an expression appeared on the face of a teenage girl a little strangely, but Yu Qingqing did feel like this.

It's like...... The person in front of him seems to be going to meet some big person.

"Hello, I'm Teresa." Little Red Riding Hood held out her hand, "I am your neighbor." ”

Her tone was serious, and her blue eyes were wide open. However, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and no matter how he looked at it, he was not calm and calm. However, Yu Qingqing seemed to be nervous by this tone of meeting leaders, and after a little hesitation, he reached out and shook his hand: "Uh...... Hello. I'm Yu Qingqing. ”

Teresa shook her hand, then looked around as if nothing had happened. Said casually, "Well, I just passed through here." Passing by here. I'm coming to visit you. ”

In fact, her lying skills are not very good...... Of course, Yu Qingqing could see that she was actually hiding behind the bushes and secretly observing herself. Because she remembered an incident two days ago—once she noticed that the branches of this grove were shaking. At that time, she thought it was a hare or a big bird, but now that she thinks about it, it must be the one in front of her.

But being peeping at is not a big deal, after all, the other party is also a girl like himself. And...... It's so good-looking. It was the first time she had seen such white skin, so white that it was almost transparent. Such skin, with golden hair and sky-blue eyes, can only be reminiscent of one thing - a doll.

Therefore, Yu Qingqing said with a little joy in his heart: "Do you live in the building across the road?" You can come here as often as you want in the future, I've always been alone here. ”

Teresa looked at her with a smile. Pointing to the swing not far away, "When you didn't move here before. I come here a lot. ”

Yu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "That's it...... Then I will give it to you when you come. ”

However, Teresa shook her head and looked at the swing with a strange look on her face: "No...... I'll just have to take a look. ”

Standing in the snow for so long. Yu Qingqing felt a little cold. So he stomped his feet: "We can take turns." I wake up early in the morning and I come out at this time. We'll ...... then."

Teresa, however, looked at the swing and pursed her lips. Suddenly, he asked, "What does it feel like to sit on it and swing it?" ”

Qingqing was stunned, and then suddenly understood something. Teresa, who tripped herself when she walked...... Don't you dare to swing?

She suddenly felt very sympathetic to her new friend. It can be seen that she does not dare to run around in the mountains to play, nor dare to go up the trees to dig birds' nests, nor dare to go down to the river to touch the shrimp, nor dare to ......

It's just pathetic!

A soft feeling swelled in her little heart. After thinking about it, he suddenly took Teresa's hand - and the other party was obviously startled, but did not pull back. Then Yu Qingqing pulled her to Qianqiu, and said as she walked: "Come, I'll take you to play, I'll watch you next to you-"

Teresa was pulled by her and stumbled forward, intending to refuse. However, the swing was right in front of her, swinging slightly - this temptation that she had always wanted to experience made her only move her mouth, and finally she was conquered by the desire for adventure, and was pulled by Yu Qingqing in front of the swing.

"You sit up, I'll push you slowly."

Yu Qingqing's tone seemed a little unquestionable. However, this also dispelled a trace of hesitation in Teresa's heart. She tried to give herself that nonchalant expression, stood in front of the swing for a moment, then turned around and sat down cautiously on it.

However, this action took a lot of effort - the thing swung around as soon as it touched someone, and although Yu Qingqing tried hard to press it next to him, Teresa still almost fell off several times.

The two little girls grew closer to each other through this hurried experience, and Theresa had no heart to pretend to be adults - with a burst of cheerful shouting, she finally sat down on the swing, her hands clinging to the iron rope beside her, and the expression on her face was joyful and nervous.

Yu Qingqing stood beside her with a smile and said loudly, "Get ready, I'm going to push you!" ”

Teresa hurriedly said, "Slow down, slow down!" ”

So Qingqing grabbed the iron rope and shook it slightly, and the swing was leisurely. When it swung back, Qingqing added more force - the swing swung higher.

Teresa's face turned pale, but the surprise in her heart was all on her face, and she held the iron rope tightly with both hands, and felt the wind begin to whistle in her ears. The ground beneath her feet was moving away and approaching so fast that she felt like she was about to fly.

So she finally let out a cry as she rose higher, "Ah——! ”

Of course she was so happy. It's just that Yu Qingqing was taken aback-

Because the swing is only half a swing......

But the thrill was enough to make Teresa uncontrollable. She swung on it for half an hour, and only after Qingqing pushed her arms sore—Teresa couldn't swing her legs on her own—she barely got enough of it.

At this time, the friendship between the two seems to have reached a new level. So Yu Qingqing planned to "show a hand" to Teresa. She climbed the rope to the swing, and Teresa nervously cried out beside her, "Be careful! ”

But Qingqing's courage is boundless. He smiled smugly, and his body began to bend and stretch.

So in Teresa's eyes, the swing magically swung up - and Yu Qingqing was standing on it!

She hurriedly took a few steps back, and watched Yu Qingqing's body swing higher and higher with wide eyes, her hair fluttering in the air in the wind. This image is really imposing - she never knew that the swing could swing so high and so high!

The sound of the two little girls shouting came far away, but no one came out to see what was going on. The two of them played around the swing for two hours, and they couldn't get enough of it. When I got to the bottom of the rock, I was sweating profusely, my hands and feet were sore, and I had to stop and sit on the swing to rest.

Yu Qingqing is really very happy - this kind of happiness seems to have not been experienced for almost a year. However, the precocious little girl has long learned to keep her sorrows and fears deep in her heart. It was only at this moment that I was finally able to forget about them for a while. Laugh heartily.

Because of this happy experience, her favorability towards Teresa has taken it to the next level. After the two of them sweated slightly, Qingqing turned her face and asked her, "Are you hungry?" Sister Ye made me a lot of delicious food before going out yesterday - have you ever eaten roast chicken? ”

Teresa thought for a moment, "Uh...... You mean fried chicken? ”

"Not really!" Yu Qingqing jumped off the swing at once. Teresa lost her balance and screamed and was about to fall on her back, but Qingqing grabbed her. Dragged her down, too. "If you eat it, you'll know it's delicious—I'll take you home!"

At this time, Qingqing had recovered from the shyness he had seen at first sight. The bold and lively character is vividly embodied. Like a little bully, she pulled Teresa away without saying anything, and the "mature" image that the latter had worked so hard to create was useless in the face of her fierce enthusiasm, so she had to obediently follow her home.

Twenty minutes later. The two little ones were already sitting at the table, their hands full of food.

Yu Qingqing's most surprising thing was ......

Not only had Teresa never played on a swing, but it looked like she had never eaten chicken before! Because she would eat and say, "That's what it tastes like." ”

She didn't think Teresa was referring to the difference between roast chicken and fried chicken—because when she asked her if it was better than fried chicken, she would say, "I don't know what to say."

Therefore, Yu Qingqing felt that she was extremely pitiful, and even felt that she seemed to have been more unfortunate than herself. What kind of parents wouldn't even give her chicken? But of course she didn't ask. Because she knew that the community she lived in was unusual. Whether it was Ye Zhixing's advice or her own observation, she realized that everyone here was special—even the little girl in front of her.

But just as she could have been friends with Li Zhen in the grave, this bold little girl wisely didn't try to figure out something that others didn't want her to know.

The topic of conversation between children is very simple, nothing more than some games, things between friends. Qingqing felt that he should let the poor little girl know how much fun the world outside the Dao Dao was, so he told her about his experience in the countryside.

For example, she put some cooked rice grains in a small glass jar, tied a rope to the mouth of the jar, threw it into the stream, and then ran to catch dragonflies.

When he felt tired after playing for a while, he ran to the water's edge and quickly picked up the rope and lifted the glass jar out - and found that there were many panicked small fish and shrimp trapped in the jar. If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch a dozen at a time.

For example, she will find a shallow slope with a slower current, pull some grass, and use the grass to form a small "dam". The water can flow out slowly, but some silly fish can get trapped in the dam. Then she would quickly grab the grass and throw it on the shore, and then the little fish would stagger out and lie on the ground with their mouths open and panting.

Teresa listened dumbly, as if for the first time she knew that there was such a bold and interesting game in this world. She didn't understand some dialects with northern Chinese characteristics, but it didn't prevent her from filling in the scene in her mind according to her own guesses, and at the same time she let out all kinds of incredible exclamations very cooperatively.

By the time Yu Qingqing talked about one day when she picked up a dead snake on the road, Teresa looked at her with complete admiration.

Then Qingqing's face darkened slightly: "Later, I also met a good friend." ”

She held her face with her oily little hands and looked out of the window in a daze: "I don't know how he is now." Did you run out of the lud. ”

Teresa was licking the meat between the wings with the tip of her tongue, squinting her eyes and asking, "Where are you going?" ”

Yu Qingqing thought for a while, looked at Teresa, and said in a low voice: "I'll tell you, oh, that friend of mine is not an ordinary person!" He lived in a tomb! ”

Teresa was stunned: "Huh? ”

"One day I ran to the mountains to play ......by myself," Yu Qingqing lowered her voice and began to talk about her experience with Li Zhenzhi in that mysterious tone. In fact, she never told the second person about it. However, Teresa in front of her was a girl of her age, and there were certain things that she had suppressed in her heart for too long - after more than a year of miserable life, she finally found a new friend happily today, and she seemed to unconsciously think that she could open up to her.

It was because of this strange sense of trust that she told the story as it was.

And Teresa seems to be attracted to this too. The expression on his face was tense and surprised. I forgot to wipe my hands, so I scratched my ears.

Speaking of the most embarrassing Yu Qingqing finally didn't forget to add: "I can't tell others, this is my secret, only the two of us know the way." ”

Teresa laughed. Nodding vigorously: "I'm definitely not going to tell anyone." ”

The two little girls were together for more than an hour. It's noon. Teresa said she was going home for lunch. got up early in the morning and went crazy all morning, Yu Qingqing also felt sleepy. So before Teresa left, I made an appointment with her to come out tomorrow to play together, so I went upstairs to take a nap.

In the evening, Ye Zhixing still didn't go home. But early in the morning, she got used to it - in fact, in the past ten days, Ye Zhixing has spent no more than ten hours with her. But there was still plenty to eat in the fridge, and she learned how to use the microwave. After filling her stomach, with a slight sense of satisfaction, she began to do her homework alone.

However, this homework was assigned by her for herself. This reminded her of the days when she asked Brother Li Zhen questions. Whenever you think about it, life at that time ...... It was the happiest time she had in just a few years.

So she sat down at the table under the light, and used the pencil in her hand to write the words "Yu Zuojian", "Zhang Yuping", and "Li Zhen" neatly in the notebook...... Then tears dripped onto the paper.

But she didn't raise her hand to wipe it. Instead, he turned another page, compared it with a ruler, and slowly tore out two pieces of paper. Then she changed to a ballpoint pen and clumsily wrote a few more Chinese characters that were now a little complicated for her.

"Yu Zuo Click, Zhang Yuping's Tomb", "Li Zhen's Tomb". She recalled the first time she understood the meaning of the Chinese characters on Li Zhen's tombstone, and her little heart was occupied by deep sadness. So she rubbed her eyes, took a deep breath, carefully tucked the two small notes into the pocket of her underwear, jumped off the stool, turned off the light, and curled up under the covers.

The next day, Yu Qingqing got up early in the morning again.

She dressed herself warmly and ate a lot of food, and then braved the cold wind to move to the swing rack and sat on it waiting for her new friend.

The sun had not yet risen, and the surroundings were gray. The chill crept into her body through the seams, so she jumped down and stomped her feet, and ran around the swing twice. After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, the dawn finally appeared in the east. So she looked over into the woods and waited patiently.

However, from the time the sun rose until the day dawned, Teresa never appeared. She went out into the woods again, but her new friend didn't play hide and seek with her.

Eventually, she realizes that it seems that Teresa will not be there again today.

Yu Qingqing stood next to the swing and pushed it, and the swing swayed like it did yesterday. There was just no laughter, and no one listened to her say all the funny things anymore.

She sighed slightly, rubbed her numb ears, lowered her head and turned to walk home.

But he had only taken two steps when he heard footsteps behind him. She immediately looked back in delight, only to find a man in a gray coat outside the fence. The man waved his hand at her and said in stiff Chinese, "Teresa is sick, she wants me to tell you, you're welcome." ”

Yu Qingqing felt that the meaning of the last sentence "You're welcome" should be "I'm sorry". Either way, she was a little happier again—at least not that she had forgotten about herself. She hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what is wrong with her?" ”

But the man didn't speak, just nodded at her and turned away.

Then the big and the small two were slightly stunned at the same time.

Because of the thing that appeared in the sky.

Aurora.

In principle, the aurora is a beautiful halo formed by the excitation and ionization of molecules or atoms in the atmosphere when the charged particles of the sun, that is, the solar wind, pass through the earth's magnetic field.

But it's usually found at night, at high latitudes.

And at the moment, in the place where Qingqing is located, it is neither night nor high latitude.

But a whole blue, streamer-like light appeared in the white sky. Their light was so intense that the morning sun could not hide their figures, but the dark blue gradually turned into light green, writhing slightly above the vast and distant sky, like a dozen terrible serpents intent on enveloping and devouring the sun.

Such a shocking scene caused both of them to freeze in place, ignoring the glare of the sunlight and looking up.

At the same time, Li Zhen and Zhang Kesong also stood on the balcony in a daze, looking at the abnormal scene above the sky above them in the cold wind of midnight.

Aurora.

It came out of nowhere. One moment the two were still kissing each other, and the next moment, it seemed as if someone had suddenly turned on the neon sign above the sky, and the pale green and pale red light illuminated every corner around the two. When they looked up in amazement, they saw that the night sky had been taken over by countless dancing snakes of light.

Seeing the aurora borealis is certainly a beautiful thing. But today, it suddenly appeared in this place that would not have been possible, and it brought people only a slight panic in addition to surprise.

Ke Song subconsciously exclaimed: "...... Is this the aurora? What's going on? ”

Li Zhen also saw this thing for the first time. He was stunned for a while, pulled Ke Song and slowly retreated to the house, and then took out his mobile phone to connect to the Internet. When encountering this kind of thing, he naturally wanted to know if others had noticed this anomaly, and even more wanted to know if someone on the network with the fastest spread of information in the Dao would stand up and explain what it was for.

There are obviously not a few people who think the same way as him. A number of people have already posted on a forum they frequent, asking if others have seen the aurora.

He glanced at the IDs of the men, and knew that two of them were in the south. One in Guangdong and one in Fujian.

It turned out to be ...... Even where you can see the aurora?!

At this time, Kesong leaned over and said, "Go and have a look on Weite." ”

Li Zhen understood what she meant and quickly opened the website. And at this moment, this communication website with users all over the world has been opened-

Even the people on the Auria side said they saw the aurora...... But that's the Southern Hemisphere!

Li Zhen realized one thing.

This aurora...... It seems to be in the sky in every region of the world.

So he and Ke Song looked at each other, and there were only five words left in their minds - how is this possible?

He looked up again. But at this time, the strange light that suddenly appeared quickly dimmed and gradually distorted, and disappeared in three seconds.

It was as if the people of the entire world had collectively experienced an illusion.
