Shanghe Village

Night hung over the village, and the houses were already lit up. The river next to the village reflects the reflections of the stars and lights, sparkling and peaceful.

In the small square in the center of the village, a little fat man about eleven or twelve years old sat on a half-human-high stone, holding a palm-sized, chaotic color, mouse-like beast, and the huge lights around the square reflected the smug look on the fat face.

Around the little fat man was a group of children ranging from six to thirteen or fourteen years old, all looking at the little beast with a look of longing.

A seven or eight-year-old boy finally couldn't help it, and said to the little fat man: "Dacheng, can I touch it?" The little boy looked nervous, but his eyes were full of longing, as if he was afraid that the little fat man would refuse, and then said: "I'll touch it, you will be my eldest brother in the future, and I will do whatever you ask me to do." When the surrounding children heard this, they all looked at Dacheng. The children all know that as long as Dacheng agrees, they will all have the opportunity to touch it.

"That's not good!" Dacheng hurriedly hid the little beast in his arms: "Do you know what this is?"

"This is a dream beast!" Dacheng asked himself, unable to hide the smug expression in his tone.

The children knew that Dacheng was deliberately showing off, but they also sighed, "It's amazing!"

Among the children's fathers, only the village chief, and the mute who couldn't get along with anyone in the east of the village, had dream beasts. What an unattainable thing that is.

I heard the village chief say that in this deep mountain, as long as you have a dream beast, you can link your dreams to the outside world, and you can go wherever you want. I also heard that as long as you have a dream beast, you can become a dream weaver, show your dreams to others, and earn money that many people can't earn in their lifetimes.

I'm so envious!

The children envy Dacheng from the bottom of their hearts.

For the children in these remote mountainous areas, although the dream world is infinitely beautiful, it has nothing to do with them, and the prosperity in the prosperous world is only open for the rich and noble.

Dacheng looked at the expressions on the faces of the children around him, his self-esteem was greatly satisfied, he raised his eyebrows, tilted his neck slightly, and slapped a fat hand on his chest and said: "My father said, as long as I work hard and communicate more with Dahua, one day, I will definitely become a great dream weaver!"

Dacheng dragged his fat body and awkwardly climbed onto the stone, he looked up at the starry sky, his left hand hugged the big flower, and the fat hand on his right slowly pulled the few hairs on his forehead to the back, revealing the thought of a wise man: "I am the man who wants to become a great dream weaver." ”

The wilderness village is silent, and dozens of families on the riverside surround this small square in the middle, surrounded by swaying lights, reflecting the little fat man on the stone, which is also a different scenery.

"Poof!"

A laugh that seemed to be uncontrollable finally broke the silence for a moment, and also made Dacheng's face turn red.

It's not a plot in a script.

Daesung felt embarrassed, and he looked angrily in the direction where the laughter came from. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl, standing on the edge of the pillar of fire, the light reflected the clean little face flickering, but it could not hide the extremely delicate facial features. She was wearing light green clothes, her long hair had reached her shoulders, although she was not very old, she was also neat, fresh and natural, and when she smiled, the two little tiger teeth that were exposed were very cute.

It's a little beauty billet.

Dacheng's face turned even redder, and he couldn't help but stiffen his mouth and said, "It turned out to be the fool's sister, you went to call your stupid brother home for dinner." ”

When the surrounding children heard this, they all laughed.

The boss of Uncle Zhuang's family in the west of the village is a fool, he doesn't like to talk since he was a child, he doesn't play with the children in the village, and climbs on the big rock in the river in the east of the village every night, and he doesn't know how to go home for dinner, which is already a joke in the eyes of the children of the same generation in Shanghe Village.

"Your brother is a fool, my brother is very good, but he is too lazy to talk to you!"

The little girl was obviously angry, and her delicate little face became more and more red under the lamplight.

She couldn't know if her brother was stupid or not, since she was a child, she was close to her brother, although her taciturn brother often said things she didn't understand. But she believes that it's just that her brother is too powerful and others don't understand.

"Hahaha" where these children will listen to her explanation, it is just a louder ridicule.

The little girl gritted her teeth, stopped struggling uselessly, and ran angrily towards the hillside to the east of the village.

She did call her brother home for dinner.

The fat man looked a little disappointed as the little girl's figure gradually disappeared in the range of the light, but soon became angry again, and he clumsily climbed down from the stone again, and continued to show off to the children around him.

The big stone frequented by the little girl's brother was located in the middle of the river at the east end of the village, and it was really a huge stone, and over the years, dense green grass actually grew on it, and it was fifteen or sixteen meters above the water.

Every night, countless stars twinkle and reflect on the surface of the river. The small hillside is like a small island hanging in the starry sky, and it is beautiful to be in it.

Speaking of which, this hillside and the little girl's brother also have a story.

The little girl's brother disappeared once when he was young, and the whole village searched for a long time, and finally found him on this big rock. From then on, no matter how much he resisted, he always climbed here at night, and then her father simply removed the intermittent stones from the shore to the boulder, and moved his ferry to this side, and the long wooden row stretched all the way to the edge of the boulder, and carved a stone staircase into the boulder to the top, and was much more relieved.

The little girl's brother was lying on the top of the boulder at this time, he was fifteen or sixteen years old, one meter six or seven, he looked a little green, but his eyes were bright. He was lying on a boulder, his hands behind his head, a small grass in his mouth, looking at the starry sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

The little girl looked up at the countless stars twinkling in the sky, and then at the man lying on the ground, and sat beside him angrily. I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for him to ask. couldn't help but say: "Zhuang Ming, your sister has been bullied!"

"Oh. ”

After a long while, the name of the dealer finally answered. This finally made the little girl angry, she turned around and lay on Zhuang Ming's body, covering his eyes with both hands. He said angrily: "What is there to see, the sky is like that every day, you can see a flower." ”

Zhuang Ming didn't care, closed his eyes, and let the little girl mess around his face.

After a while, the little girl finally got bored, and lay down next to Zhuang Ming, she also looked at the starry sky, and only felt that countless stars were flickering, beautiful and mysterious, as if Zhuang Ming was lying beside her, unpredictable.

"Zhuang Ming, what's beautiful in the sky, come and see it when you have time" She asked casually as she drew a circle in the sky with her hand.

"Ying'er, do you know what the brightest star is called?" Zhuang Ming's voice was a little lazy, but it was a little serious.

"Her name is the Sun, and it's the closest star to us. Zhuang Ming didn't wait for Ying'er to answer, and said to himself.

In the past, Zhuang Ming had two interests, one was to study the mysterious starry sky. The other is to explore the mysterious world of antiquity that few people know.

Ten years ago, when he stumbled upon this stone and saw the sky in front of him, he already knew where he was.

Proxima Centauri.

This three-star system is the closest star to the Sun.

Scientists say it's only 4.22 light-years from the Sun.

For the name of the village, the end of the world is close at hand.

He let out a deep breath, as if he had spit out the secrets that had been accumulated in his heart for more than ten years. Although he knew very well that this secret was incomprehensible to anyone.

When Ying'er heard this, she turned her head in some surprise and looked at Zhuang Ming who was lying beside her.

It was the first time he had answered her question.

"You are talking nonsense again, my mother said, the sun is in the sky during the day, and the moon and stars are in the sky at night. Ying'er replied very seriously, he didn't want to lie to her, she knew these common sense since she was a child.

Zhuang Mingyan sat up, looked down at Ying'er on the side, and smiled.

"You're right, but she's also the sun. ”

Zhuang Ming stood up, sighed, and added, "She's just my sun." ”

Ying'er lay on the ground, looking at Zhuang Ming who was standing in front of her and talking nonsense, she always felt as if he was far, far away from herself, so far that it didn't exist at all, she couldn't help but reach out and grab the corner of Zhuang Ming's clothes.

"Brother, I'm afraid, it's too dark here. ”

Zhuang Ming picked up Ying'er from the ground, put it on the ground, and took her hand: "Ying'er, don't be afraid, let's go home." ”

On the way home, he had a lot of questions in his mind.

Ying'er held his hand tightly, and looked at Zhuang Ming who was thinking deeply from time to time.

There are too many questions about the name of the banker.

Ever since he was rescued from the river by Ying'er's father, his mind was full of questions. How did he become a baby, was it the influence of time and space?

He was just an unknown professor who studied history, and such a strange thing made him deeply puzzled.

For the past, the name of the dealer has too much to worry about.

He was well versed in history, and was already a history professor at a university in his early thirties. He also has his own little hobbies. Whether it's the legends of ancient times or the mysterious starry sky, he can be full of interest. His parents are loving, his wife is touching, his relatives and friends are harmonious, his garden is full of peaches and plums, and he has a newborn son.

What a beautiful life, Zhuang Ming sighed deeply.

Now everything has changed.

Small interest kills people. Zhuang Ming thought that perhaps it was the paper he published about an ancient civilization that brought him unforeseen disasters.

Thinking that he was coerced by those men to find the remains of the saint. I thought of all the bizarre experiences I had encountered in the depths of that dangerous place. Thinking of the strange beast that almost subverted his worldview. Think of this strange and strange world.

Perhaps, the reason why I came to this magical world and became a baby again is because of that strange beast.

Zhuang Ming shook his head, in the past fourteen years, he finally understood that dwelling on the past was meaningless after all. Perhaps, he should melt into this new world.
