Chapter Twenty-Four: New Friends

Lin Xuexi had a dream in which she dreamed that she had returned to her grandmother's house in the countryside when she was a child, and there was a muddy pond behind the house, and there was a flock of snow-white geese in the pond.

The sky was so blue that it was palpitating, and the willow embankment under the pond was happily blooming with some unknown small flowers of various colors, and the breeze gently carried them, bringing the fragrance of rice in the distance.

A wisp of smoke rose from my grandmother's humble wooden house, and my grandmother called out her name in front of the house and told her to go back to dinner.

But she didn't want to eat yet, so she ran into the field, where there were a lot of dandelions and psyllium, as well as purslane and wild leeks. The rich aroma of wildflowers stimulated her to sneeze, and the chirping of crickets and birds was also annoying.

Lin Xuexi ran and jumped in the field, I don't know how long it was. When she was tired of running, she sat down in the reeds taller than her, and she could not rest, and she had to find the worms that had burrowed into her clothes.

She sat like this, and it got dark.

"Why are there stars in the sky?" Every time she faced this charming deep night sky, Lin Xuexi would ask this.

"That's all immortals in the sky." Grandma suddenly appeared next to her, and wherever she went, she always seemed to find her.

"Then why didn't they fall?" The little girl's world is full of curiosity.

"Because they know how to spell."

Her grandmother was an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences before she retired, but in the face of Kobayashi Xuexi's serious questions, her grandmother always answered with these absurd legends, and every time she could make Kobayashi Xuexi's curiosity and desire for knowledge in these mythical stories be greatly satisfied.

"Chang'e has never seen Hou Yi since she arrived on the moon?" However, the endings of these myths are often not as happy and happy as expected.

"yes. Later, she could only live alone in the Guanghan Palace. ”

"Is it true that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can only see each other once a year?"

"Yes, they violated the rules of heaven, and in order to punish them, the Queen Mother of the West stipulated that their husband and wife could only see each other on the seventh day of the seventh month of the year." Grandma's kind face was a little wrinkled, she doted on Lin Xuexi in her arms, swayed, and whispered the story, "That day, the magpies of the world went to help, and they built a spaceship that could reach the speed of light and crossed the galaxy. ”

"But, Grandma, that's not what you said last time." Xiao Lin Xuexi asked sideways.

"Really? Grandma is getting older, and her brain is starting to get confused. Grandma rubbed Lin Xuexi's hair lovingly, and her eyes followed Lin Xuexi's line of sight to look at the two brightest stars on either side of the Milky Way in the night sky, which were the photon radiation they emitted decades ago.

"When will we be able to build a spaceship at the speed of light like those magpies, and then travel across the galaxy like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl." Grandma sighed, but until the day she died, humans had not built a light-speed spaceship, not even one-thousandth of the speed of light.

Lin Xuexi woke up, she was very sad, she dreamed of her grandmother again, just like more than five hundred years ago, this habit was inherited.

Grandma is the closest person she is to in this world, Lin Xuexi knows that no one will be as pampered and tolerant of her as grandma anymore, but grandma is no longer there, before she became a household name, she was gone.

Grandma always hoped that she could inherit her unfinished business and embark on the road of scientific research, but Lin Xuexi became an entertainment star. She regretted that she could not inherit her grandmother's mantle, and felt that she had failed her grandmother's expectations, so when she was able to spend a lot of money, she invested almost all of her net worth in Fermi Technology, which may be a kind of atonement.

Building a light-speed spaceship and immigrating to the galaxy is not a problem that can be solved in one or two generations, so when Lin Xuexi learned about Fermi's travel plan, she did not hesitate to participate, and she also wanted to witness the development of earth technology after a thousand years.

"But ......" Lin Xuexi thought of what happened to her after she crossed over, and immediately left tears, and couldn't help covering her cheeks with her hands, and those wounds began to hurt fiercely again.

She was ashamed of her grandmother, and indirectly killed two innocent people, one was ignorant and the other was her best friend.

It was all because of the wrong decisions she made that led to the tragedy, and she couldn't forgive herself no matter what.

That day, Wenxiu and Horod were killed by those people and then eaten by those people.

Lin Xuexi didn't dare to think about it now, but the bloody images of that day haunted and tormented her like a nightmare, making her miserable.

Wen Xiu, her classmate, her best friend, the shrewd girl with huge black-rimmed glasses all the year round, chose to stand up in order to defend her when they were faced with a life-and-death decision, the funny thing is that she once suspected that the motives of this capable assistant next to her were not pure, and the savage torture that Wen Xiu suffered in the last moments of her life should have been borne by her.

Lin Xuexi especially wanted to cry out loud at the moment, but she only let out a low sob, and her body kept trembling.

Li Xinran finally noticed the movement here, she walked to Lin Xuexi's bedside, and asked excitedly, "Sister, are you awake?" ”

But she soon found that Lin Xuexi was crying, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your eyes are injured, don't cry." ”

But Lin Xuexi was still crying, crying incessantly, Li Xinran knew what appearance meant to a woman, especially a beautiful woman, but she didn't know how to comfort a disfigured woman, and this woman may have been very beautiful before being disfigured.

"Don't cry." Li Xinran stood awkwardly beside the bed, at a loss.

"Don't cry, don't cry." She really doesn't comfort people, there is only this one sentence over and over again, and later, it seems that she was also affected by Lin Xuexi's emotions, she actually cried with Lin Xuexi, maybe sympathizing with Lin Xuexi's experience, maybe sentimental about her life experience.

"What's going on?" As soon as Li Fusi entered the house, he heard a whimpering sob, and then found two girls crying over there, Lin Xuexi was not surprised that she would cry, her crying was reasonable, she should also cry, but why Li Xinran cried he didn't know.

"Fortunately, we don't have outsiders here, otherwise what would others think I did to you two?" Lifus felt that the atmosphere had to be lighter and more lively.

"Phew." Li Xinran hurriedly wiped away her tears embarrassedly, as if it was a very shameless thing to cry in front of Lifus, "It's really a dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth." ”

The two of them always like to joke and tease each other, but they have only known each other for two days, and it seems that they are both naturally a little familiar.

Seeing Li Fusi coming over, Lin Xuexi gradually suppressed her crying, she didn't want to be too cowardly in front of people.

"Girl, is the water boiling? Boiled and stewed this girl quickly, my saliva came down. ”

Li Xinran didn't understand why Li Fusi said this, she turned her head and found that Li Fusi gave her crazy looks, and immediately understood, and echoed and said: "It's almost fast, it's going to be opened immediately, and you can get out of the pot by washing and peeling." ”

"You don't have to look at each other anymore, I know you're not bad people." Lin Xuexi said with a hint of choking, she had not completely detached herself from her previous emotions.

"I didn't expect you to be quite observant with one eye." Livers teased that he felt that the patient's negative emotions should be alleviated.

"I deserve all this, and I deserve it." Lin Xuexi pressed the gauze on her right eye with her hand and said, her mood did not fluctuate much, and her tone was very gentle, as if it was not her who was blind in one eye but someone else.

"I don't know what you've been through, but life goes on, doesn't it? Let the unpleasant things pass, people always have to look forward. Lifus's enlightening words are old-fashioned, but very practical, "My name is Lifus, she is my henchman, I am glad to meet you, we will be a united front in the future." He briefly introduced himself.

"Get out, you're the henchman!" Li Xinran protested to Li Fusi, and then showed a kind smile to Lin Xuexi, "My name is Li Xinran, and I am fifteen years old this year. ”

"Are you brother and sister?" Lin Xuexi forced herself to be normal and no longer be disturbed by negative emotions, because that would make her appear very impolite.

"As much as it sounds, it's really not." "If I had such a mischievous sister and would have been killed in the morning, I wouldn't have been able to make her grow so big." ”

"Lifuss, you bastard!" Li Xinran stepped on the upper of Lifus's shoes and crushed it hard, but she was too light, and Lifus didn't feel a lot of pain at all, "If I had a bastard and idiot brother like you, of course I wouldn't live so much, I guess I would have made you angry to death." ”

"Hmm...... My name is Lin Xuexi and I am 22 years old. Lin Xuexi hesitated for a moment, and decided to use his real name, after all, they saved himself, "It's nice to meet you." She lay on the bed and held out a hand to show her sincerity.

Li Fusi stepped forward and held her hand affectionately, Lin Xuexi's hand was very slender, very warm, very soft, very slippery, and very fair, just like the skin on her body was delicate and delicate, and it was impossible for these children who grew up in the dust of the last days to maintain their skin so well.

"Hey! How long are you going to hold it? Li Xinran found that Li Fusi was reluctant to let go for a long time after holding Lin Xuexi's hand, so she had to stop it.

Lifus hurriedly let go of his hand and explained awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there was a big singer in the 21st century named Lin Xuexi, who also had long hair, and I was a little stunned for a while. ”

"Humph! Ghost believes! Li Xinran glared at Li Fusi fiercely, feeling that he was very embarrassed.

"It's okay." Lin Xuexi blushed and retracted her hand back into the quilt, "I also deliberately imitated her." She had to lie, and if her identity was revealed, then the secrets of "exploring" and "traversing" the base would not be hidden.

She won't trust anyone easily, and she doesn't want to test her humanity anymore.

In these last days, human nature is especially incapable of withstanding temptations and tests.
