Chapter 20: Let's Watch the Meteor Shower
It was reported: Leonid meteor shower this Friday and Saturday night.
Coincidentally, it was a sunny day in Ice City all week. The Firefly Volunteer Association launched the activity of "Let's go to see the meteor shower", and as long as you pay 20 yuan, you can be led by a professional team on Saturday night to camp in the suburbs to watch the meteor shower.
The Firefly Volunteer Association cooperates with the Ice University Outdoor Association and the Ice University Astronomy Association, and three people from each of the two associations are the leaders, who take the students to the campsite on the outskirts of the ice city in batches where there are mountains and rivers to see the stars, and the Firefly Volunteer Association is responsible for logistics and manpower deployment.
Most of the students who signed up were students from these three associations
On Saturday morning, several leaders gave their team members a brief training session on pitching their tents and emphasized the things they need to pay attention to when in the field.
At one o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the first group gathered at the ice gate, took a bus for an hour and a half to the suburbs, and then walked for about an hour to the designated place. All they need to do is gather twigs and other fire-making supplies, and set up a makeshift stove and campfire.
The second batch gathered at 1:15 and they had to prepare the ingredients when they arrived.
The third group gathered at 1:30 and they were responsible for cooking. Su Zhiqi is in this echelon. At 2:50, more than a dozen people got off the bus with tent sleeping bags and moisture-proof mats, breathing in the suburban air, which was exceptionally fresh.
The students who led the team counted the number of people and prepared to start. At this time, he answered a phone call, hung up the phone, and said to everyone, "Let's wait here for a while, and another classmate is coming." ”
Three or four minutes later, a taxi stopped in front of the bus stop. Lin Qingyang pulled her big bag and Xiaobao out of the car with great difficulty, "I'm sorry, I didn't set off until I finished the exam, and I delayed everyone's time." ”
Su Zhiqi was originally standing quietly outside the crowd playing with his mobile phone. Seeing Lin Qingyang coming, he immediately smiled and bypassed the crowd to help her carry things.
"Here we are."
"Hmm."
The two walked together very tacitly. The students in the back saw their president and Su Zhiqi walking side by side familiarly, looking at each other and making a "oh~" sound.
There are few cars on the roads in the countryside, and there are occasional cars and farm trucks passing by. Everyone walked on the road like a lamb that had just come out of the circle.
Four or five children ran forward, and the children in front of them held binoculars and boasted, "I'm going to watch the meteor shower with the new telescope my dad bought for me tonight!" ”
"It's better to look at binoculars than with the naked eye, my mother told me!"
"I'm going to use it, slightly."
……
"They probably came out with their parents to watch the meteor shower, so happy."
At dusk, Lin Qingyang smiled quietly, her whole body bathed in a soft orange-yellow beam, like a fairy coming from a fantasy world. Su Zhiqi looked at her and smiled.
Suddenly!
A heavy truck rushed out of the S-bend ahead. The kid with the binoculars was about to collide with the truck.
"Be careful!" Lin Qingyang ran forward.
"Uhh
Lin Qingyang felt that a gust of wind was blowing around him, and in the next second, Su Zhiqi and the child were gone.
The truck left a long brake mark, and the driver quickly got out of the car. The other children were so frightened that they cried.
Su Zhiqi walked out of the other side of the car with the child in his arms.
Coming against the light, like a god of war.
The other students had just noticed what was going on and came over to comfort the children. The parents of the children also hurried over when they heard the sound of brakes, took the children to apologize to the driver, and hugged the children tightly to thank Su Zhiqi.
The crowd disturbed, only Lin Qingyang was not among them, she was like an outsider. Su Zhiqi was just now, very fast, and not as fast as ordinary people.
The parents left with their children who had been taught their lessons. The team leader also asked everyone to stop wandering around the road in a scattered manner.
Su Zhiqi finally broke away from the crowd and returned to Lin Qingyang's side again. She's so calm.
"You've just been running fast."
Su Zhiqi was stunned. From the day he met her, as long as he was with her, he forgot that he was still an immortal cultivator, and he still had the mysterious power that people in this world saw as feudal superstition, idealism, and demons and monsters.
He hadn't thought about whether or how to tell Lin Qingyang his story. Will she be afraid of me, disgusted with me, and ignore me from now on?
"I, I've been sprinting since I was a child, maybe it's adrenaline." Now is not the time, when I think clearly, I will explain it to you, okay?
"Oh, that's right."
Lin Qingyang was skeptical.
Su Zhiqi was terrified.
"You are so brave to save that little friend." But what needs to be said is still to be said.
"Maybe it's instinct."
"Well, protecting the weak is probably something engraved in human genes."
"Hey! You're finally here! Come and cook! ”
It turned out that they had already arrived at the camp, and the leader of the second team was beckoning them to cook everyone's dinner. It was getting late, and the members of the third team stopped talking and began to help each other make dinner.
This time, everyone decided to eat barbecue, and who can not love wild BBQ?
The sky is full of stars, in the open space in the wilderness, playing music, playing around the campfire, playing games, eating skewers, and having someone you like next to you is really a great blessing in life.
At nine o'clock, the bonfire gradually faded, and the students of the Outdoor Association organized everyone to extinguish the bonfire and make sure that it would not rekindle to avoid causing a fire.
The next step is to wait for the meteor shower to arrive.
There was silence all around, with the occasional wind blowing through the trees. Everyone was talking in whispers inexplicably, perhaps for fear of alarming the stars in the sky.
The small camp lamp hanging from the tent emitted a faint light. This is based on the opinion of the students of the Astronomical Society, and too strong light may affect the observation of meteor showers by the naked eye.
Lin Qingyang and Su Zhiqi were lying on a moisture-proof mat, silent, just beside each other.
The meteor shower has not yet arrived, as if it is about to travel through a thousand years.
"There it is!"
A classmate from the Astronomical Society first spotted the meteor shower.
"Where, where?"
"I saw it too!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, over there!"
"This meteor shower seems to be very dense!"
……
The next day, all the media were reporting on the once-in-a-decade Leonid meteorstorm. The meteorite is like rain, and I don't know how many people have made good wishes to it.
Su Zhiqi has never seen such a beautiful scene. Although there are also records of meteors in the Kaiyang Continent, they have always been studied as oracles, and no one has ever watched them purely for the purpose of appreciating them.
Su Zhiqi was immersed in the outbreak of this meteor shower. He questioned himself, who once only cared about cultivation but didn't care about the beautiful scenery around him, and almost all the people in the Kaiyang Continent.
Maybe we are too persistent, maybe there should be something in our lives other than cultivating immortals. Are we living too singlely? Why can't we live a colorful life?
Thousands of thoughts rushed into his head.
At this moment, he felt like an explosion had occurred in his sea of knowledge.
He's going to break through!
