Chapter 3: Mountains in the Mountains: XVI. Another Universe

Ah Mei nodded solemnly and said, "Do you remember when you first arrived in Lulang, Daji said that strange things often happen here, right?" ”

I said, "Of course I do." At the time, Daji said that in the past, when the lumberyard in Dongjiugou was still there, the lumberjacks would encounter something almost every night. Some people have seen an animal walking upright, others have heard the sound of someone talking in the dark, and some have heard scenes of singing and dancing. It seems that these legends are really not groundless. If today's events are as you say, then we are in a strange land. Is it possible, you say, that those beautiful songs were not sung by humans at all, but were the masterpieces of so-called upright walking animals? ”

Ah Mei nodded, "Until the truth is found, all possibilities exist. ”

I said, "I say there's actually another explanation, which is the materialist point of view. Legend has it that many years ago, in the Forbidden City in Beijing, many staff members saw ancient eunuchs walking around. Later, some experts specifically examined it and concluded that the latter reproduced the scene of the former when the two environmental climates were exactly the same. Experts call this the earth video, the earth recording. With our current environment, there has been no change for thousands of years, and the probability of two situations with the same environment and climate is very high, and what we encounter may be the Forbidden City in Beijing before, and what we are listening to now is just a reproduction of a certain scene in a certain era in the past. ”

Ah Mei said, "You can relate to it." I also heard my teacher talk about this incident in the Forbidden City in Beijing when I was in college. I had similar thoughts just now, but I didn't dare to draw conclusions without finding a basis for the facts. ”

I said, "Maybe, there's another possibility." Legend has it that in the depths of the sea, when it is late at night, a beautiful song wafts out. It's a beautiful mermaid singing. All the passing boats will be attracted by the song and can't help but sail towards the place where the song floats out. There is a magic to this song that even the oldest sailor cannot stop. ”

Ah Mei snorted and laughed, "You can really think, and you really dare to think." You wouldn't say that there are still legendary beautiful mermaids hidden in this small lake, right? The song we hear is the mermaid's song?! ”

I said, "Well, who can say for sure?" ”

"However, this legend is indeed beautiful, and I prefer to hope that it is true." ”

I said, "Otherwise, we'll just stay here for a while, and maybe those mermaids won't be able to resist it and come out and sing again." ”

Ah Mei said, "Okay. However, if there is a mermaid coming out, are you planning to make soup and barbecue? Or do you want to marry back home? ”

I said, "You don't know, I'm actually a typical Ye Gong, a verbal revolutionary. If there was a mermaid, I would have turned around and ran, and I would have run faster than a rabbit. ”

As I spoke, I found a stone by the lake and sat down, feeling the coldness of the stone constantly rising. I took out a scarf from my pocket, put it on the stone, and asked Ah Mei to sit down as well. Ah Mei looked at me with some gratitude and sat down gently. said, "Unexpectedly, you are quite careful." ”

I said, "No, the girls praise me for being a good lover." ”

Ah Mei said, "The skin is thick enough." It seems that he can't stand the praise, and as soon as he praises it, his tail cocks. ”

I said, "Actually, I'm quite thin-skinned, like I like a girl, and I've never dared to say it to anyone." But it's true that I can't stand up to praise because growing up, I rarely received praise. When you are praised once in a while, it is natural to behave flattered. ”

Ah Mei smiled, "It seems that you are quite hypocritical. Would you dare not say that you like girls? At first glance, it is a stalker, and I am afraid that it will sound better than singing. ”

I said, "You've wronged me." Don't dare to say it's fake, don't say it's true. In fact, I'm humble and leave good opportunities to girls. ”

Ah Mei shook her head, "I've seen a thick-skinned person, but I've never seen a thick-skinned person like you." ”

I said, "Don't praise me like that, I'll be proud." ”

Ah Mei seemed to sigh helplessly and said, "Don't talk about this." Who is the girl you just said you liked? Isn't it rain? ”

I know that all girls are the same in this regard, they have a natural sensitivity. I said, "Not really." ”

Ah Mei said a little sarcastically, "Don't be embarrassed, let's recruit it!" ”

I looked at Ah Mei, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Ruoyu is a very good girl, but she's too strong and not my type." ”

Ah Mei asked, "Then what type of girl do you like?" I said, "Guess?" Ah Mei tilted her head, "Do you guess me?" I said, "Do you guess I'm guessing?" ”

Ah Mei said, "Are we talking about tongue twisters?" As he spoke, he turned his head to the lake, "Wait until your mermaid appears!" ”

By this time the moonlight had dimmed, and the surface of the lake had taken on a strange hue under the reflection of the glowing fish. Some of the glowing fish are leisurely one by one, some are swimming in twos and twos, and some are wandering in groups. I was amazed to see that all the fish were swimming in the same direction, and on closer inspection, the light formed a huge whirlpool on the surface of the lake.

I told Ah Mei what I found. Ah Mei looked at the lake carefully for a while and said, "It's amazing, this is simply another universe." Ah Mei paused, and seemed to understand that I didn't understand the meaning of her words. I don't know if you have ever seen the nebula map of the universe, in the universe, all the stars are arranged in the shape of a vortex. Ah Mei's eyes were firmly fixed on the lake, "It is said that the human heart is a small universe, and I finally understand the meaning of this sentence now." You see, if that's our mind, we never pay attention to and don't care about the light of our mind, but whether we pay attention or not, these lights are running. Isn't this a universe that we've overlooked? ”

Ah Mei was excited, and her hand touched mine. I shook my sister's hand. I felt a noticeable tremor in my sister, but she didn't break free. I held Ah Mei's hand and found that her hand was unusually cold. I asked Ah Mei to hand me the other hand as well, and I warmed Ah Mei's hands with my palm. Ah Mei pursed her lips tightly, just staring at me with her sparkling eyes. I said, "Now, we're more like two flustered fish that have stumbled into each other by chance." ”
