"Hello, meet again, ma'am. You remember me. ”

Zheng Yuanli greeted the old lady.

"Yes, my child, you seemed preoccupied the last time I met you on the train. When I see you again now, it seems that the clouds have seen the light of day. That day, I went back to my hometown for the funeral, and soon heard about the Kings Cross bombing. Honestly, I've been worried about you. It's great that you're okay. ”

Zheng Yuanli was puzzled by the old man's statement, the last time she saw the old man, she said that she was preoccupied, maybe what she said was indeed in place. But now that he says that he has seen the sun, how do he know?

The old man looked at Luna behind Zheng Yuanli and said.

"I got a girlfriend."

She lifted her glasses and looked at Luna closely.

"Well, I don't think I've seen this girl anywhere."

"Grandma, in the morning, I came with the police."

"Oh, I remember, my child. Look at my memory, that's what happened this morning. ”

"Yes."

The old lady smiled kindly.

"What a lovely kid, like an angel. I didn't expect you to be together. ”

Zheng Yuanli said that he wanted to deny it, but he felt that it was just a matter of borrowing a lighter anyway, and there was no need to rush to deny an old man's misunderstanding. Moreover, gossiping is also a little adjustment to the old man's ordinary life, and there is no need to rush to break it, so he didn't deny it.

"Ma'am, do you have a lighter?"

"Yes, I didn't expect it to be the same hobby that reunited us. Wait a minute, I'll bring it to you. ”

It seems that this grandmother has some misunderstanding, Zheng Yuanli does not smoke. So saying, the old lady turned and went into the room, and saw a black and white photograph standing in her open door.

It was a man in an army uniform and a young and beautiful British woman, with a red Chinese knot quietly placed in the narration of the photo.

"Did you smell it, she shouldn't be smoking?"

"I can't tell."

"Maybe the Chinese don't know much about it. She's smoking something else that's going to be crabbed. No wonder she can't remember her short-term memory, but you remember it so clearly. Do you think it's because you're good-looking? ”

Zheng Yuanli didn't speak, as if Luna had just said that before.

Seeing that Zheng Yuanli did not speak, Luna turned her head away and ignored him.

Zheng Yuanli pondered it carefully, and also understood what the old lady was smoking. It is not difficult to guess that this old man should have lost his other half during the war and has been celibate since then. This should be a sincere feeling, and longevity is both a blessing and a curse.

Her friends left her one by one, and now she only reminisces about the distant time and years that are gradually blurring as much as possible.

Sometimes, she had to rely on some external forces to make those memories surface. This is the pillar of her survival.

Is this fortunate or unfortunate?

Zheng Yuanli couldn't be sure, because he hadn't tasted what it was like to have such a feeling.

The old lady walked out of the house after a while, took a delicate handmade antique lighter and handed it to Zheng Yuanli.

"Here's for you."

"Oh my God, it's too expensive, I'll borrow it and I'll give it back to you in a moment."

"No need, when you reach my age, everything on your body can be given away."

The old lady said, looking at Zheng Yuanli and grinning. When he smiled, his eyes were open-minded and cheerful, and there was a hint of confusion, that confusion, Zheng Yuanli knew what it was.

Between the two of them, Luna took off her scarf. It was draped around the old lady's neck.

"I think it's a good fit for you to bring in this scarf."

Luna said.

Zheng Yuanli immediately understood, and seemed to take a serious look at the old lady wearing a scarf and said to her.

"yes, I think this scarf is perfect for you. You put it on and it instantly turns London's Black Bird into a Champs-Élysées. ”

When the old lady heard the two children's praise like this, she couldn't help laughing, and said "Wait a minute."

She turned slowly and walked into the living room.

Luna looked up at Zheng Yuanli, and Zheng Yuanli looked at Luna, neither of whom knew what the old lady was going to do. They can only stand on the ground and look at each other.

It seems that each other has something to say, but they don't know where to speak. What's more, standing at the door of someone else's house, it's even harder to tell.

After a while, the old lady walked out. She took three pieces of chocolate and handed them to Jung and Luna.

Two pieces were given to Luna and one piece to Zheng Yuanli.

Said to them.

"I wish you all a happy life, too."

Luna and Zheng Yuanli glanced at each other and replied to the old man.

"Thank you."

Then they waved their hands to the old man, who watched them leave and watched them walk out of the fence and towards the Hello Kitty waiting outside. Also, Lancelot, who has been waiting.

Zheng Yuanli thought, old age is also a kind of practice, when people become old, they can gradually see everything in this world very transparently.

When she walked in front of the Hello Kitty, Luna turned around and waved to the old man, and Lancelot, seeing the old man walking out of the door, naturally got out of the car and waved to the old man. It wasn't until they were all seated in the car that the old man entered the house.

"Well, that lighter just now was very good."

Luna spoke first.

"Yes."

"Well, it's worth exchanging a scarf for it."

“emmm…”

Zheng Yuanli stopped talking thoughtfully in the back seat of the car.

"Alright, Mr. Lancelot, let's get behind the wheel, let's get out of the way, and then we'll start casting spells to find the suspect."

Luna spoke to her brother.

"Why not just here."

"When did you start having so many questions?"

Lancelot listened to Luna's rhetorical question, and did not dare to speak again. Honestly focus your eyes on the rearview mirror, start starting, reversing, and moving forward.

Lancelot pulled over at the corner of the street.

"Well, here or outside the car."

"Of course it's in the car, it's so windy outside, how do you know if it's blowing or not."

Luna winked at Lancelot as she spoke.

Luna said as she asked for a lighter and took out the test tube with the blood sample that Lancelot had just given him.

She opens the skylight of the Hello Kitty.

"Wouldn't that be a better aid to astrology?"

Zheng Yuanli asked Luna.

"No, it's just that I don't really want the steam that burns blood to remain in the car, I think it's part of the soul. I hope that this part of the soul will reach the heavens early and be with the stars. ”

With that, Luna opens the lid of the lighter and ignites it.

Heat evenly at the bottom of the tube.

"Brother, help me hold the pendulum, I want to enchant it."

Lancelot helped Luna place the pendulum crystal at the mouth of the test tube, and as the test tube heated, smoke gradually came out of the test tube.

"I look up under the Milky Way, I listen above the planets, the stars swarm in the garden, and I stand in the darkness."

Luna's chanting seemed to Zheng Yuanli's eyes to be not only a spiritual pendulum, but also Luna's own faint moonlight.

Perhaps, she really is a veritable Luna (moonlight).
