Chapter 42: Night by the Lake
In the lobby of the hotel, he waved his hand behind his back to stop Xia Yiming, who was following him, and Lu An took Lin Yongping out of the hotel.
The night is vast, and the moonlight reflects a silver light on the surface of the lake not far away, and the big lake seems to suddenly give birth to the meaning of bright eyes and clever hope.
Walk across the dock in front of the hotel to the eerie shore.
"Alright, this is it."
"What are you going to do?" Lin Yongping wondered.
Lu An stopped talking and began to undress, he threw the clothes on his body aside neatly, jumped into the lake, and jumped out of the lake as if he had done yesterday afternoon.
Lin Yongping was a little dazed, watching Lu An emerge from the water and waving his hand vigorously at him.
"Me?"
Lu An just kept waving at him and asked him to get into the water.
Lin Yongping saw that Lu An was already a little impatient, gritted his teeth, gently took off the clothes that were in the way, and jumped into the water lightly. He grew up on the Kunlun Sea since he was a child, and although there are not many opportunities to go to the sea, the water nature is very good.
Lu An swam to Lin Yongping's side with a bad swimming style, without saying a word, pointed ahead, and motioned for Lin Yongping to swim forward with him.
In this way, under the moonlight, the two of them chased the silver light on the surface of the lake and swam towards the center of the lake.
Although the silver light in the lake was always out of reach, Lu An stopped when he swam for about ten minutes, and the lights of the Xishan Inn behind him had turned into fireflies in the dark.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
"Since you're here, don't ask more, just follow me." After such a long silence, Lu An spoke for the first time.
After speaking, Lu An lowered his head and plunged down and dived into the water.
And Lin Yongping looked at the black water surface blankly, I don't know why, some inexplicable fear. Suddenly a splash of water splashed next to him, Lin Yongping's heart jumped slightly, but it was Lu An who floated up again.
He reached out to take Lin Yongping, but Lin Yongping subconsciously leaned back and staggered his hand. However, Lu An regained his silence, firmly held his hand, and then stabbed down again.
Lin Yongping then understood, Lu An asked him to dive down with him.
Although the water in the lake is a little cool in the dark night, when you dive in, you feel very warm, as if it is much more comfortable than in the air. In fact, it is.
Lin Yongping's dazed heart was a little fixed, and he followed Lu An to dive, and this time Lu An was probably afraid that Lin Yongping would be at a loss underwater again, so he kept holding his hand firmly.
After only a few dozen seconds of diving underwater, Lin Yongping suddenly began to have a wonderful illusion.
It was pitch black all around, and what I saw was nothing. And when you close your eyes gently, you can feel the floating of the water around you, and the gravity is pulling people down, and then it is light and uncertain.
Where is this? Is this in the water? Why do you feel like you're on another plane? So quiet, so light, so soft.
The hand holding him continued to dive, and finally Lin Yongping felt that everything around him seemed to start to disappear. Gravity is gone, buoyancy is gone, the current seems to be still, and the human body seems to be dissolved.
There is nothing in the world, ethereal, as if only one's soul is left between heaven and earth.
Mountains and rivers, the sky, the sun and the moon, and the space universe, Lin Yongping felt as if he had soared in an instant, is this the unity of heaven and man? Is this an out-of-body experience? Is this nature?
This illusion only lasted for a few seconds, but in Lin Yongping's feelings, it seemed like a few days and nights, but in the next second, as if something had exploded in his chest, the powerful beating of his heart instantly pulled Lin Yongping back to the ground.
The galaxy receded, the galaxy disappeared, the sky and land settled instantly, and Lin Yongping suddenly felt that he was back in the water, in the middle of the big lake.
However, the beating of his heart became stronger and stronger, as if it was flying out, and Lin Yongping suddenly had no other thoughts in his mind at this time.
The air, the fresh air, floated up, floated up, Lin Yongping's hands and feet began to struggle upward, as if his body had just soared.
He didn't exert much force, he felt that his body suddenly began to rise suddenly, and before he could react, there was a "whoosh", and the sound of water bursting in his ears.
The body involuntarily began to breathe heavily, and the fresh air rushed into the body by itself, and Lin Yongping felt as if he had come to life.
"Lu An ,......"
His hand was about to struggle, only to realize that the hand holding him had not let go.
"What the hell are you going to do?"
There was silence, and when his pulse subsided, the hand pulled him back and began to dive.
Once, twice, three times......
……
"Smack-"
When Lin Yongping didn't know how many times, he finally couldn't bear it, broke free of the hand holding him, and waved it over.
"Hoo——, hoo-"
Lu An on the other side was also breathing violently, and only after the sound of breathing subsided a little did he speak: "Are you finally better?" ”
"What?"
"Hahaha,......"
Lu An opened his mouth and laughed weakly, but after only two or three sounds, he was choked by the water, and he coughed violently.
"What are you laughing at? It doesn't matter to you, right? ”
"It's okay, let's go, let's take a break."
Lu An took Lin Yongping's hand, and after swimming in the water for a few minutes, Lu An suddenly straightened up and said, "Okay, let's go here." ”
Lin Yongping looked up and saw that it was a small island dozens of meters wide, black and swarthy, and there was no human habitation.
Lu An walked ashore with the sound of "whooshing" water, but after more than ten meters, he staggered around and lay on the shore in embarrassment.
Lin Yongping, on the other hand, climbed ashore with his hands and feet, and struggled to lie down beside Lu An.
"Thank you."
In the violent gasps of the two, Lin Yongping suddenly spoke.
Lu An just half-raised his hand, bowed weakly, and signaled that he was not welcome, he took Lin Yongping up and down, and most of his strength made him out, and now he was so tired that he couldn't speak.
It wasn't until the violent wheezing gradually subsided into the sound of breathing that Lu An asked again, "Are you still uncomfortable?" ”
"Well, although I still want to cry when I think of my brother, the knife that keeps churning in my heart seems to be gone."
"Whew, that's good."
Lin Yongping suddenly raised his head and pointed to the moon in the sky, and said, "It's probably in the direction behind the moon, my brother may be there now." ”
Lu An followed his finger and looked, at this time, Mars was invisible in the night sky, probably obscured by the moon.
"I've been wondering today, what was my brother thinking before he died? If he were alive, would I be able to see him in five days? If he had been alive, would I have seen him many, many times again? But why are they gone? ”
"And now?"
"He's dead, and we'll probably never see each other again in this life." Lin Yongping suddenly cried.
"yes, if only there was an afterlife."
"I just didn't know that my brother's body had been found? In the morning, Li Feng told me that his brother's spaceship had been attacked, and the wreckage was scattered, and he was looking for his brother's body. Perhaps, now my brother is still behind this moon, playing hide and seek with everyone. ”
"Didn't they contact you later?"
"No, maybe they don't want to bother me, maybe they don't care about me at all. Now my grandfather is probably the saddest one. ”
Hearing Lin Yongping say this, Lu An couldn't help but think of three years ago, at that time, he probably thought that he was the only one in the world who remembered his brother. After all, my brother is like his own sky, the sky has fallen, who can be sadder than himself?
As for the old man, he didn't seem to have spoken to him for half a month, and only saw him once on the day of his brother's burial.
He sighed softly, was he too young at that time?
"What's wrong?"
"I also thought of my brother, who at that time stubbornly thought that he was just my brother and had nothing to do with anyone else. I've never been as sad as you are for caring about others than I am. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Lu An shook his head and asked, "Are you leaving these days?" ”
"Yes, when grandpa comes to his senses, he will definitely ask all of us in the Lin family to go back, send my brother away in a beautiful manner, and then have revenge and complain."
"Didn't your brother get into an accident?" Lu An was surprised.
"Heh,......" Lin Yongping sneered: "My brother came to Earth because he was tasked with it, and some people can't see it,......"
As he spoke, Lin Yongping choked up a little again.
"How can I help you?"
"Forget it, I don't want you to be embarrassed."
Lin Yongping thought that Lu An wanted to go back and ask for help from the commander-in-chief Lu. However, from Lu An's words and deeds on weekdays, he didn't know that unlike his own family, Lu An and his grandfather were already strangers. Even, he had never heard the word grandfather, in Lu An's mouth, there was only an old man.
"Not ,......"
Lu An didn't know where to start.
Regardless of the secrecy of that organization, even if it can be said, does Lu An want to tell his roommate that he is now the leader of a mysterious organization with infinite energy, and can manipulate the entire online world, basically he can know whatever information he wants to know.
Such a truth, in the atmosphere at this time, is almost like a deliberate joke.
"Well, I'm glad you have this in mind. And, thank you for your honesty yesterday and your enlightenment today. ”
Lin Yongping said, suddenly turned sideways, stared at Lu An and said, "Do you know? I'm even a little jealous of you now. ”
"Huh? Eat one's heart out? ”
"yes, jealousy. I used to envy you so much. ”
"You're smart, so smart, as smart as my brother, and I often think how good it would be if I could be as smart as you."
"You are still so brave, you live alone with your sister, and I only learned yesterday that you are even braver than I imagined, you dare to break with your grandfather, although I have never been dissatisfied with my family, but I envy your courage, I am very envious."
"Not to mention, you can still be so optimistic, I have never even seen you show a weak expression, never said a word in front of your own sister, just like my brother, as if nothing can stump you."
"Since I learned about your background yesterday, I have even been jealous to the point of envy. Do you know? Even yesterday, when I saw you holding that fish and rolling into the window, I was jealous, why are you so good at water, why are you so strong, why can't I? ”
"I even feel like you have everything I don't have. You're a real man, and I'm going crazy with jealousy when I love your sister so much......"
"Uh,......" Lu An was a little skeptical that his roommate was suffering from a lack of oxygen in his brain after strenuous exercise, so he began to be logically confused and said some inexplicable nonsense.
And Lin Yongping, who was next to him with a bright eye, saw Lu An looking at him with a suspicious look, and immediately smiled and asked, "Do you think I'm starting to talk nonsense now?" ”
"Nope." Lu An shook his head.
"Want to know why I'm talking nonsense?"
"Yes." Lu An nodded.
Smack-
A loud slap slapped over, making a crisp sound on Lu An's cheeks.
