White Mist Chapter 073 First Meeting

Previous Chapter

The sky slowly darkened, and the lively garden party broke away from the golden veil of the setting sun and began to be covered with moonlight.

Pony roamed freely alone in the garden party, and although he only looked at the various caravan stalls, he was still in high spirits.

During this period, Luo Lei and You Xiaobai have been following behind him, but the two have not communicated along the way, and their eyes have basically not taken their eyes off Marco.

Because they knew in their hearts that there was a girl who was going to appear......

And when she appears, I don't know what kind of story she will tell them.

This unequivocal and ethereal sense of waiting will be known to anyone who has experienced it.

......

After almost the entire garden party, the tired face of the originally happy little Marco began to show fatigue.

However, he didn't seem to plan to find a random stall to sit down and rest, but found a path and walked outside the boundaries of the park.

Luo Lei and Xiaobai glanced at each other and immediately followed.

Crossing a thin snow-covered path and through a not-so-dense woods, the two followed Marco to a small hill.

After leaving the city, the duo returned to a transparent state, so as not to be discovered by the memory owner in a quiet environment, which could affect the progress of the timeline.

About two or three zhang away from the target, Xiaobai, who had just walked out of the woods, found a watchtower standing on the edge of the hill, and then suddenly realized.

"So it's ...... here"

She couldn't help but look at Luo Lei: "It turns out that Uncle Ma lived here when he was a child!" Now I finally understood his connection to the watchtower. ”

But Luo Lei said uncertainly: "Maybe, but it may not be so simple." ”

Marco and Zhuang Yu have such a deep bond with this watchtower, if it is just because he lived near here before, it will not convince Luo Lei.

Thinking about it, Luo Lei's gaze extended up along the edge of the watchtower until he looked at the sky;

Countless stars shining like diamonds compete in the night sky; In the distance, the sky and the sea merge into a vast picture, and you can vaguely see different cirrus clouds, and a few green chirps of birds soaring by, adding color to this picture.

The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the sea enters the great wilderness!

Rao is Luo Lei is also attracted by this magnificent natural scene, not to mention Marco, who has nothing to do?

I saw the boy looking at the stars in the sky as if he had bumped into a treasure, and without looking up at the road, he walked to a thick fallen wooden stake, put his backpack aside, and sat down.

Seeing Marco sit down, Xiaobai raised her head, and she realized that she had never looked closely at the view in front of the watchtower.

In the real world at this moment, she and Luo Lei are fleeing, cold and hurried, where can they care about enjoying the scenery?

However, this kind of night is not too unusual for her, who has lived in the snow field of Linhai for many years and is close to nature every day.

At this time, Marco, who had not yet experienced the prosperity of the world, was counting the stars at this time, and he was relishing;

Luo Lei and Xiaobai, who were behind them, found that footsteps from far and near came from another road leading here;

A girl is slowly walking towards the watchtower......

"Aunt Zhuang."

I don't know if it's because my eyesight is too good, or if I expected it, Xiaobai blurted out.

What is a little surprising is that Xiao Zhuangyu seems to be very familiar with this place; She walked straight in the direction of the watchtower, and as she was about to reach the top of the hill, her light and steady steps stopped abruptly when she saw Marco sitting on the stump.

Marco, who heard the movement behind him, turned around and found a girl looking at him expressionlessly, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, so he had to look at her blankly.

"Hello?" The little boy said hello as naturally as he could.

It seems that because his treasure land is occupied, the introverted Zhuang Yu did not respond to this greeting, and quickly turned around;

Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Marco......

"Huh? Wait, don't go! ”

The horse saw the situation, hurriedly left his seat, chased a few steps and shouted.

Hearing the shout, Zhuang Yu's originally hurried footsteps began to slow down, and he walked a few more steps before stopping, turning his back to the boy for several seconds before he made up his mind to turn around and still look at him calmly.

Looking at the girl, the little boy was nervous for no reason, and after a while he remembered what he was about to say: "That...... Excuse me, but did I take your seat? ”

The girl did not speak, nor did she nod or shake her head.

This made Marco not know what Zhuang Yu thought, scratched his head and said: "My name is Marco, if this is your special seat, I can let it be given to you!" ”

Perhaps only the children of that era understood what a "private territory" that no one knew meant to them when they grew up......

Or...... We can look at the stars together! ”

Marco had the courage to invite the girl he had never met.

After all, the starry sky here is so beautiful! His home was not far from here, but his mother rarely allowed him to go out and play alone, so he rarely had the opportunity to come;

Once in a lifetime, how can you miss it?

Zhuang Yu, who had been silent, finally spoke at this time: "Are you here to see the stars?" ”

"Are you too?" Marco said happily.

Zhuang Yu nodded......

Marco pointed to the stump and said, "Then let's sit there." ”

When he had finished speaking, he turned and sat down;

Zhuang Yu stood in place as if entangled for a while, and then went over to sit beside him.

"Look, look there!" Marco suddenly pointed to the sky.

The stars were vast, and Zhuang Yu didn't know where the boy was pointing, but he still looked in the direction of his finger.

"See?" Marco asked.

“......”

Zhuang Yu shook his head.

"Whoa! Right there, right there! ”

Marco's fingers seemed to change direction, but his tone was firm.

"What?" Zhuang Yu said.

Her tone began to reveal emotion, nothing more than a question.

Hearing the girl's voice, Marco withdrew his hand and replied with a smile, "Of course it's Mars!" Have you ever heard of Mars? The teacher taught us during the lesson. ”

“...... Mars? ”

Zhuang Yu's puzzled expression was even worse: "Can you see Mars?" ”

"No, I can't see it." Marco shook his head: "But I know where it is!" Because I've looked it up, I'm pretty sure it's in that direction. ”

Zhuang Yu looked up again, puzzled.

Mark looked away and said, "You know what? The book says that Mars may be the second planet in the solar system suitable for human habitation! Although no one has yet been on board, many scientists predict that humans will definitely live on Mars in the future! ”

He suddenly looked at Zhuang Yu and said, "Are you afraid of the cold?" ”

Zhuang Yu shook his head.

"I think it's cold all day and night...... So I want to live on Mars! Do you want to...... Why do scientists call it Mars? It must be because it's warm in there, right? ”

Zhuang Yu shook his head again.

Marco pouted: "Actually, I don't know, but I don't think what those people said is necessarily right, after all, no one has ever been up!" ”

This time Zhuang Yu nodded.

For a moment, the two fell into a brief silence.

But after a while, Little Pony suddenly said, "So, I want to be the first to board and have a look!" Like the sailor who discovered the New World...... Everyone will admire people who discover new things, and I will be such a person in the future! ”

The boy's tone was firm, and his eyes looked at the planet that could never be seen with the naked eye.

"I'm going to be the first to go to Mars!"
