At lunchtime, there were only two people at the table, Kirton and Mom. Kirton's father was the head of the hospital's internal medicine department, and it was common for him not to eat at home because he was busy with work. Kirton's mother is a Chinese teacher in a junior high school, and now she enjoys a relaxing summer vacation like her son.

Halfway through the meal, my mother slowly put down her chopsticks, looked at her son, who was eating well, and said, "Kirton, Mom asked you something." ”

"Huh?" Kirton chewed a large mouthful of food in his mouth and said indistinctly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Are you in a relationship with Lancey?"

The sudden question, "Hmm......" caused Kirton to swallow what he had not finished chewing in his mouth, and he almost didn't regain his breath. He quickly grabbed the soup spoon and drank a few sips of the soup before he breathed a sigh of relief. He furrowed his eyebrows and reproached, "Mom, what are you doing!" Want to choke me? ”

"I didn't expect you to be so nervous." Mom said, "Looks like I guessed right." ”

"Mom, don't be kidding!" Kirton blushed and exclaimed, "I'm nervous! I was scared by what you said—I ...... Will you fall in love with that man's mother-in-law? You can figure it out! ”

Mom chuckled softly, "That's what you say, but you know better than anyone else in your heart - Lan Xi is the most beautiful girl in your class, right?" ”

"I should like it if it's beautiful? With her savage character, I don't want to grow into a fairy. ”

"Really? Then she comes to ask you to go out with you every afternoon, why don't you refuse? ”

"That...... She just stopped by and asked me to come with Sean's house. Kirton argued in embarrassment, "I didn't go out to play with her." ”

Mom smiled softly and said, "Kirton, in fact, you know that Mom is not the kind of feudal and conservative parent. I know what kids your age are thinking and interested in, so even if I knew you were dating a female classmate, I wouldn't force you to hang out. I just hope that you can grasp the scale of your interactions and pay attention to ......"

"Alright, Mom. You can save these words for me when I am really in love. Kirton interrupted his mother and paused, "Speaking of ...... 'forbidden,' I want to ask you a question. ”

"What's the problem?"

Kirton frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "What if...... You get a book and find the words 'forbidden for humans to read' printed on it – what do you think that means? ”

Mom pursed her lips and smiled, "It means you're diverting the topic - but it's not natural to choose." ”

"No, Mom, I'm not kidding, I mean it!" Kirton said with a serious face.

"Really? Are you saying a book that says 'forbidden to human beings'? So what is this book printed for? Or was it published by an alien planet? Mom said disapprovingly, and at the same time took a chopstick of shredded beef and put it in her mouth.

Corton saw that his mother either thought it was a clumsy excuse he had made to divert the subject, or she thought it was just a boring joke, and she wouldn't have discussed it with herself. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture to indicate that the conversation was over, and then finished his meal in three or two times, and got off the table and went to the room.

Kirton lay in his bed for less than ten minutes, and the text message on his mobile phone rang, and he took it to see that it was Lan Qian who sent it: I'm downstairs at your house, come down quickly.

A carp rolled over at Corton, and he walked out of the door and said to his mother, who was putting away the dishes, "Mom, I'm going to Sean's house." ”

Mom said, "Sean's mother is the ambassador of the U.S. Consulate to China, is it appropriate for you to go to someone's house every day to play?" Don't interfere with your parents' work. ”

Kirton said while changing his shoes: "I'm going to his house to play, not to the U.S. Consulate, and besides, Sean's parents are enthusiastic, it's okay - I'm leaving!" ”

Kirton ran and jumped downstairs, and Lancey was waiting for him in front of the flower stand with his hands crossed. Kirton looked at the table and said to her, "It's only twelve fifty, why did you come so early today?" ”

Lan Xi glared and said, "Don't you want to know what that weird book is about?" ”

"I want to know, I thought about this when I went to bed last night!" "But what's the use of us going so early?" Then Lu Hua has to go to Sean! ”

"I just called him, he's going now—let's go."

Kirton suddenly became energetic: "Did he tell you anything?" What's in that book? ”

"Look at you're impatient." Lan Xi said as she walked, "Lu Hua said that we will talk about it when we all go to Sean's house." ”

"Let's go!" Kirton patted Lancey and stepped in front of her.

Kirton's home is not far from Sean's house, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk, plus Lancy brought her own UV umbrella today, so the two decided to walk. Halfway through, Kirton suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you smirking at alone?" Lancy asked.

"I'm thinking about what my mom said at lunch today." Kirton glanced at Lancie, then pinched his mouth, "Forget it, I won't tell you about it." ”

"Hey—what does that mean?" Lancy glared at Kirton and asked, "Sounds like it has something to do with me?" ”

Kirton couldn't help but laugh, glanced at Lancy, and said, "Well, it's about you—but are you sure you want to hear it?" ”

"Stop talking nonsense, talk about it!"

Kirton said, "My mother was eating today, and suddenly she asked me - 'Kirton, are you in a relationship with Lanxi?'" ’”

"Ah......" Lan Xi said with a flushed cheek and a somewhat coquettish voice, "It's so annoying, how did your mother see it...... Oh, no, I mean, how could she think that. ”

"Didn't it scare me, almost choked!"

"Then you ......" Lancey paused slightly, lowering her head to prevent Kirton from seeing the flush on her face, "How did you answer her?" ”

"Hey, how else can I answer? I told her we were buddies and that it couldn't be the kind of relationship she was talking about, and she'd misunderstood—right, Lancy? Kirton slapped Lancey on the shoulder with a big grin, and when he saw that she had lowered her head and didn't speak, he leaned down and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you speak? ”

Lancy looked up sharply and yelled at Kirton with an angry face, "You're going to die! Then he hurried forward.

"Hey, what's the matter? Why are you suddenly angry - sick? Kirton scratched his head in confusion, and only quickly followed. But Lancy ignored him along the way.

The two of them came to Sean's house one after the other, and the maid Leanne took them up to Sean's room on the second floor, and then went downstairs to get a drink. The door was open, and Sean was playing a computer game at his desk, when he saw Lancey walk in angrily, and Kirton followed behind at a loss, asking, "What's wrong with you two?" ”

Kirton shrugged his shoulders, unsure. Sean looked at Lan Xi and wanted to find an answer from her, but Lan Xi obviously didn't want to talk about what happened just now, and she asked, "Isn't Lu Hua here yet?" ”

"It could be coming soon." Sean said, "Let's play PS3 for a while." ”

"Okay." Kirton picked up the gamepad on the coffee table and asked Lancy, "Are you playing?" ”

"Don't play!" Lancy replied irritably, her face twisted in a different direction.

"Don't play it, hehe, it's good today, no one is grabbing the handle with me." Kirton said loudly on purpose, glancing at Lan Xi at the same time, and seeing that Lan Xi ignored him, he turned on his own computer and played the game.

About twenty minutes later, the doorbell of Sean's house rang again. Sean put down the mouse in his hand, "It must be Lu Hua who is here." Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, Lu Hua walked into Sean's room with the book of poems from yesterday. Kirton stopped playing the game, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it, have you translated it?" ”

Lu Hua nodded, sat on the sofa, and said to the three people who were watching him, "Don't get your hopes up, I just translated a few songs." ”

"Huh? How many songs did you translate in a whole day? It's too inefficient. Kirton said with some disappointment.

Lu Hua stared at him with wide eyes: "Do you think it's easy?" I don't know how many hundred years ago this collection of poems was written, and it was all in medieval French, which is a little different from the French used today - I don't want to translate it, a poem would take nearly an hour! ”

"Hey, don't worry about that, just tell us about the poems you translated." Sean said with gusto, "I really want to know what this 'forbidden to humans' book is about." ”

At this time, Filipino Lian came up with a glass of juice and handed it to Lu Hua, who took it and said to her, "Thank you." Leanne went downstairs again with the empty tray. Lu Hua took a sip of juice, and then sighed, "Alas, in fact, I don't think you need to pay so much attention - when you know the content of these poems, you should be disappointed - in my opinion, the sentence 'forbidden human reading' is completely the author's trickery and grandstanding." ”

"Don't sell it, just say it. We listened and judged for ourselves! Kirton urged.

"Alright then, I'll translate the first page of the poem to you in order." Lu Hua said as he flipped to the back pages of the book.

"Wait, isn't it the first page, what are you doing in the back?" Lancy asked.

Lu Hua said: "You forgot? Didn't we find out yesterday that the book was probably broken up before, and then the first few pages were bound to the back - I read it in the order of its page numbers. ”

"Oh, yes." Lan Xi nodded, thinking, "Then you can say it quickly." ”

Lu Hua turned to the first page and read it with a careless feeling: "The first poem is translated as this meaning-'Nerga came to the new city for the second time in September, with four terrifying flying monsters. The mad white monster and the Twin Towers are all gone, and Satan laughs wildly in the smoke. ’”

After Lu Hua finished reading, he closed the book and put it down. Three pairs of eyes looked at him together, and Kirton asked, "Is this the end?" ”

"It's over." Lu Hua said, "Originally, there were only a few lines in a poem. ”

"It's not...... What does this poem mean? How can I not understand at all? Lancy asked, confused.

"If you want to ask me what the poem means, then I can't answer it - anyway, I have translated the meaning of its sentences literally, and as for the connotation of the poem, I'm afraid I can only ask the author himself."

Kirton scratched his head in confusion and said, "What 'Flying Monsters', 'Twin Towers'...... Ay. I said, could this be Harry, written by a medieval man? Potter, right? ”

"I think it's more like The Lord of the Rings." Lu Hua smiled bitterly, "The poems that follow are almost like these - in short, I think this book is a collection of magical poems full of imagination." ”

"Huh? That's too boring, isn't it? Lancey complained, "Isn't that a fairy tale book—I've been looking forward to it all day!" ”

"You now know why I said that the phrase 'forbidden for human reading' was a trick on the part of the author—how about it, and you were disappointed when you learned the result?"

Kirton and Lancey sighed at the same time, feeling annoyed. At this time, Kirton suddenly found that since Lu Hua finished reading this poem, Sean had been sitting next to him without saying a word - he glanced at Sean and found that he was sitting on the sofa with a solemn expression, motionless. His left hand clenched his chin tightly, and his two eyebrows were stirred together, tied in a dead knot in the center of his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something incredible.

Kirton touched him lightly with his elbow and asked, "Sean, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sean slowly raised his head, glanced at Kirton, and then moved his gaze to Lu Hua and Lan Xi. His lips twitched slightly, but he didn't make any sound—the whole expression was extremely weird.

Lu Hua and Lan Xi also noticed Sean's abnormal expression, and they asked almost together, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Sean hesitated for a few seconds and said hesitantly, "I suddenly ...... Something comes to mind, but ...... Hey, that's impossible......"

Lu Hua shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand, and he asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Sean's frowning brows never let go, and he asked abruptly, "Lu Hua, what did you just say - what does the 'Nerga' that appeared in the first sentence mean?" ”

"Nerga?" Lu Hua thought for a moment, "That's a personal name, I transliterated it according to the pronunciation, what's wrong?" ”

"Names? Whose name? Sean asked.

"It's not a human name, it's the name of a god in ancient Babylonian mythology. Nerga represents Mars, one of the seven star gods who rule the seven days of the week - these are the things I found out on the Internet after I translated this poem last night - why do you ask this? ”

"One of the seven star gods who rule seven days a week...... What day of the week is Nerga in charge? Sean's expression suddenly became nervous, which made Lu Hua feel stunned, and he replied puzzledly, "...... Tuesday. ”

"Tuesday? It's really Tuesday! Sean yelled, covering his mouth with his hand, his face full of horror, "Oh my God...... How could such a coincidence happen! ”

Sean's cry startled several people present, and they all looked at him in confusion, and Kirton asked, "Sean, what do you remember?" ”

Sean completely ignored Kirton's question, he grabbed Lu Hua's arm and asked eagerly, "You say...... This book of poetry was written by people from the Middle Ages? Are you sure? ”

Lu Hua was completely stunned by Sean's question. "I'm not sure it wasn't written by someone from the Middle Ages, but ...... It certainly wouldn't have been written by a modern person—because the old grammar and sentence patterns he used in his books are long gone. Besides, the paper of this book is old and yellow, brittle...... To say the least, it must have a history of tens or hundreds of years, right? ”

Sean slowly let go of Lu Hua's hand, and muttered to himself in confusion: "That's weird...... How could there be such a strange thing......"

Kirton finally couldn't help but stand up and ask, "What the hell are you talking about?" Don't talk to yourself there, speak up and tell us! ”

Sean raised his head and stared at the three of them, "Don't you think that this poem describes a major event that happened a few years ago?" ”
