Chapter 74 Parents divorce Waiting for the earthquake
Mid-May 1984, Shanghai, Sanlintang.
In Shanghai in the 80s, the average temperature in May was around 20 degrees Celsius, which was very refreshing.
At noon, Lin He and Sun Xiaoling, dressed in summer clothes, appeared in Sanlintang, Shanghai. Although the sun was shining, Sun Xiaoling still felt a little cool.
Sun Xiaoling crossed her arms and said, "It's the end of June, why is the temperature in Shanghai so low." ”
Lin He put his arm around Sun Xiaoling and said, "I'm sorry, I used time and space travel." ”
"What do you mean?" Sun Xiaoling stopped, looked at Lin He and said, "Isn't this Sanlintang, turn left along this road and it's my house...... No, a few houses here were demolished a few years ago, why are they still there? ”
The surrounding scenery seems to be familiar, but there are a few differences. Sun Xiaoling looked around, her expression a little confused.
Lin He said: "It's true that this is Sanlintang, but this is Sanlintang in 1984, and the time is Wednesday, May 16. After he finished speaking, he looked at Sun Xiaoling's reaction.
Sun Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "You mean that you have traveled to Sanlintang ten years ago?" Seeing Lin He nodded, she was actually not angry but happy: "So, we don't belong to the time and space here now?" It's so funny, is that I can see what I was like when I was a kid? ”
Lin He smiled: "Of course, do you want to go and see it?" ”
"Okay." Sun Xiaoling nodded again and again, and said, "Wait, I'll do the math, well, I'm more than six years old, oops, I'm not seven years old yet?" ”
With the experience of shuttling to Xinhui last time, Lin He immediately thought that this time he couldn't dress too unusually. He hugged Sun Xiaoling and said, "Are you cold?" Let's go shopping for clothes first, this dress will attract people's attention. ”
Seeing Lin He taking the initiative to hug herself, Sun Xiaoling was very happy, she pretended to be cold, leaned into Lin He's arms and said, "Well, listen to you." ”
The two of them were wearing the coats they bought, although they were a little rustic, but when they walked on the road, they were no different from the people around them.
After walking a short distance, Sun Xiaoling pointed to a courtyard in front of her and said to Lin He: "It's here, can we go in?" ”
Lin He reminded: "Remember, just treat yourself as an outsider and just take a look." Don't reveal our identities and origins, let alone interfere with the previous you, once there is any deviation, we will fall into this time and space, and we will never be able to go back. ”
If you fall into the previous time and space, it will be troublesome, and Sun Xiaoling still understands this. She immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, now that I know my true identity, I won't mess around." ”
In the courtyard, a six- or seven-year-old girl stood alone, looking at the house with a very uncomfortable expression, and did not see Sun Xiaoling's mother, Lin Yafen.
Sun Xiaoling glanced at Lin He and walked tightly to the yard alone. She suppressed her excitement and said to her childhood self: "Little sister, there is no one at home, what about your mother?" ”
The little girl looked at Sun Xiaoling, and then pointed to the room: "Mom is arguing with Dad inside, sister, can you go and persuade them?" ”
Sure enough, there was a quarrel in the room, and Sun Xiaoling couldn't help but think of her parents' divorce, and her mood suddenly became complicated. At this time, if you go in to persuade yourself, once your parents get back together, it will be a disturbance of the previous time and space. But listening to the bad words of the parents in the room, I couldn't persuade myself, and my heart was extremely uncomfortable.
Lin He felt Sun Xiaoling's psychological changes, and immediately came into the courtyard, pulled her away.
Coming outside, Lin He put his arm around Sun Xiaoling's waist and said as he walked: "Okay, don't be sad, this is what has happened." ”
Sun Xiaoling couldn't help but shed tears, nodded and said, "I know, this can't be interfered with, but I feel really uncomfortable." ”
Lin He wiped Sun Xiaoling's tears and said, "Lingling, forget about this." Hey, I know that this is a suburban county, and the last time I came to Shanghai, I didn't go to the city center to see. In this way, you accompany me to the city to have fun. ”
Xuhui District, located in the southwest of Shanghai, is home to Guangqi Park, which was originally the tomb of Xu Guangqi, a Confucian scholar in Shanghai at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and later expanded into a park.
Xu Guangqi is originally from Suzhou and was born in Taiqingfang, Shanghai. Although he came from a peasant family, he studied both Chinese and Western cultures, and was an outstanding scientist in China. He was proficient in astronomy, mathematics, water conservancy, agriculture and even military affairs, and was a pioneer in cultural exchanges between China and the West. He was baptized as a Christian in middle age and was buried in the south of the Xujiahui Catholic Church.
This duke had a brilliant life and made a lot of achievements. There is a sub-discipline in mathematics called "geometry", and the word "geometry" is translated from Latin. The earliest Chinese version of Geometry was translated by him and the Jesuit priest Matteo Ricci.
At this time, the Guangqi Tomb was quiet and quiet. Under the shade of the trees next to the cemetery, Lin He and Sun Xiaoling showed their figures, and there was no one around, and the two of them came out along the path with a calm expression.
Looking at the trees and flowers in front of her, Sun Xiaoling said, "What kind of place is this, how does it look like a park?" ”
Lin He said casually: "This is Xu Guangqi's cemetery, and it is now called Guangqi Park." ”
"Huh? Cemetery, bury the dead. Sun Xiaoling hugged Lin He's arm, looking a little panicked: "Why did you come here?" ”
Lin He patted her hand: "Don't be afraid, let's go." ”
At the Qilian Mountain base of the Investigation Bureau, Lin He privately asked Dr. Wang and learned that Wan Qianhong lived on Nandan Road in Xuhui District. Therefore, Lin He chose Guangqi Park as the teleportation place, and from the park is Nandan Road, which should not be far from Wanqianhong's home.
Where did Sun Xiaoling know Lin He's plans, but with Lin He's footsteps, she could travel with him, which was enough to meet her psychological needs.
The two of them came out of Guangqi Park, and there was Nandan Road in front of them. Sun Xiaoling said suspiciously: "This is Xuhui District, not the city center." ”
Lin He said disapprovingly: "The teleportation is not so accurate, just take a walk and take a look." ”
Sun Xiaoling said sweetly: "Then listen to you, go." ”
Along Nandan Road to the west, the houses on both sides are very old, there are no shops in sight, and passers-by are scarce. Lin He paid attention to the surrounding situation while walking, but Sun Xiaoling looked around, asking this and that.
There was an alley in front of them, and a car drove out, and the two of them stopped and waited for the car to pass. Suddenly, there was a scream from the alley on the right side of Nandan Road, and the two of them immediately turned their heads to look.
I saw a half-grown yellow dog chasing a girl, who was about eight or nine years old, with two small pigtails. The girl ran towards Lin He in a panic, stumbling, and was about to fall. Lin He quickly stretched out his hand and took the girl in his arms, and the yellow dog behind him also galloped over, barking at the girl and Lin He.
Lin He pointed at the yellow dog with his hand and said, "Stop, don't bark." ”
The yellow dog really stopped barking and stopped barking, but just walked around, staring at the girl with bared teeth and an unwilling look.
Sun Xiaoling was also a little afraid of dogs and hid behind Lin He. Lin He didn't dare to let go of the girl, and roared at the yellow dog lion: "Whew." The yellow dog fell to the ground on all fours.
A young woman in her thirties trotted over, and when she saw the yellow dog fall to the ground, she immediately yelled at Lin He: "Hey, what are you doing to beat my dog?" Her cry attracted onlookers from passers-by.
Lin He looked at it fixedly, and the woman was wearing heavy makeup on her face, but she was wearing pajamas and pajamas. Immediately disdainful: "This is your dog?" Do you know that it just chased and bit this little girl. ”
The young woman said forcefully: "I didn't see a dog bite a person, I only saw you beat a dog." ”
Seeing that this woman was quite unreasonable, Lin He ignored her and said to the yellow dog: "Get up, don't pretend to be dead." ”
Strange to say, the yellow dog stood up obediently, circled around the young woman, stuck out his long tongue, and sniffed and licked at the young woman's lower gear. The onlookers "coaxed" and all laughed. The young woman was embarrassed for a while, hurriedly reprimanded again and again, and chased the yellow dog all the way.
Lin He smiled slightly and said to himself: "Men don't keep cats, and women don't keep dogs." A good woman doesn't have a dog. ”
Seeing that the danger was lifted, the girl put her mind at ease, but she didn't mean to leave Lin He's mind, she just raised her head and asked, "Big brother, what is a man who doesn't keep a cat and a woman who doesn't have a dog?" ”
Lin He touched her head: "This is an old saying, which means that if there is a man in the family, it is better not to have a cat, and if it is a good woman, don't raise a dog." Okay, go back and watch out for yourself. ”
The girl still wanted to speak, but suddenly her eyes flicked, as if she had found someone, and immediately said to Lin He: "Thank you, big brother, I remember that women don't have dogs, goodbye!" After saying that, he quickly left, walked towards a middle-aged man, and said something to him.
Then the middle-aged man led the girl towards Lin He and said politely: "Little brother, thank you for saving my family Honghong." ”
Lin He hurriedly said: "Yes, no thanks." Oh, by the way, what's the little girl's name? ”
The girl immediately said, "My name is Wan Qianhong, you can also call me Honghong." ”
The middle-aged man said to Wan Qianhong: "Okay, thank you big brother, let's go home." ”
Lin He watched Wan Qianhong wave goodbye to him, his heart moved, and he immediately stopped the middle-aged man: "Wait a minute, five days later, it will be the twenty-one." Be careful that night, there may be an earthquake in Shanghai at half past eleven o'clock in the evening. After speaking, he pulled Sun Xiaoling and left.
The middle-aged man looked at Lin He's back with a puzzled expression, this person is weird, will he prophesy? He sent the letter back with thousands of reds suspiciously.
At about 23:38 on May 21, 1984, two earthquakes occurred at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, with magnitudes of 5.6 and 6.3 respectively. The earthquake was felt strongly throughout Shanghai, and many citizens fled in panic and had no sleep all night. Only Wan Qianhong's family prepared their clothes and food early and ran to the open space in front of the church to wait for the earthquake. This is a later story, and I will not mention it.
said Lin He, he suddenly understood that this girl was Wan Qianhong ten years ago, and he was the big brother in her mouth. What an amazing experience, time travel is truly amazing. I was happy in my heart, and a smile appeared on my face.
Sun Xiaoling pulled Lin He: "What are you laughing at, let's go play elsewhere." ”
