After self-study in the evening, Lin Yuan walked out of the classroom, and from time to time he heard some classmates around him talking about today's salt rain. "It's not strange that the rain today dissolved the salt." "How do you know those white crystals are salt, you've eaten them?" "I tried some salty today, and I can't go wrong with ironclad enough salt!" Listening to their discussion, Lin Yuan didn't wait for Liu Wei, who was bored and didn't wait to make up the homework, and walked directly downstairs. In the faint light, Lin Yuan looked at the white crystals that were trampled under his feet and was a little confused. How did it get into the rain? Lin Lang thought about it and didn't get an answer. I had to walk to the school gate again, today he was tired and wanted to rest early.

There was nothing new in the first day of school, Lin Yuan was also in a trance, and Liu Wei was suffering from sleepiness. Time one, before I knew it, two weeks had passed. Lin Yuan only cared about playing ball, and didn't pay too much attention to his back table, while Bai Qi just listened to lectures in class normally and wrote homework after class.

One noon two weeks later, Lin Yuan looked at the math test paper on the table idly, and he picked it up and turned behind him without thinking about it.

"Do you know this question?" Bin Yuan said as he put the question in his hand on the white table of the seventh. Bai Qi didn't say anything, and looked at the topic seriously. Seeing that she was so serious, Lin Yuan didn't bother her anymore, and turned around leisurely to do his own thing. Bai Qi kept seeing the class and couldn't solve the question given by Lin Yuan. What is it? Such a strange topic! Bai Qi secretly complained in her heart, she also knew that she had no clue after watching it for so long. As a result, Bai Qi struggled for another Chinese class but failed to solve this math problem, and he was almost caught by the Chinese teacher during this period.

When the bell rang for the end of class, Bai Qi stomped his feet to show that he was not convinced, at this time Lin Yuan turned around, and Bai Qi said directly: "I won't, you still have to ask the teacher." This seemed to be expected by Lin Yuan, and he yawned lazily before saying slowly: "It's okay, I can write." Bai Qi didn't know what to say at this time to calm his mood. Lin Yuan took out his pencil with a serious face and began to calculate in the draft. After two minutes, Lin Yuan put down the draft and said, "Na, the main steps are here, you can take a look, and ask me if you don't understand." "I ......," Bai Qi didn't know what to say, so he had to take the draft and read it carefully. It turned out to be so simple, Bai Qi thought about it and couldn't help but admire Lin Yuan in his heart, this kind of topic actually came up with such a simple way to calculate slowly.

In the evening, Bai Qi was writing a diary in the classroom alone, and Lin Yuan, Liu Shi and others walked into the classroom with basketballs. Putting down the basketball, Lin Yuan looked at Bai Qi, and he couldn't help but have a question in his heart: What is she writing? Lin Xie didn't think much about it and then asked, "Bai Qi, what are you writing?" "With the diary?" Bai Qitou said without raising his head. Liu Wei said at this time: "Brother Yuan, let's go first, don't disturb you." Bai Qi couldn't help blushing when he heard this, while Liu Wei and the others looked at Lin Yuan with a smile and then grabbed the door. Lin Yuan was bored, and after glancing at Bai Qi, he also walked out of the classroom. As soon as he went out, Lin Yuan seemed to think of something and hurriedly stopped and said to Bai Qi in the classroom: "You have to hand in your physics homework before self-study in the evening, and you have to remember to remind me." After saying that, Lin Yuan left, Bai Qi looked outside the door, and hurriedly lowered his head to write a diary.

One afternoon a few days later, Lin Yuan turned to Bai Qi and said, "Can you show me your diary?" "I can't." Bai Qi replied very firmly. Lin Yuan waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, and then turned around to do his homework. After school at noon, when Lin Yuan packed up his things and was about to go home, he found the light blue book in the pile of Bai Qi's books. This isn't her diary, forgot to bring it? Lin Yuan looked at Bai Qi's diary and thought about whether to read it. In the end, he couldn't resist his curiosity and picked up Bai Qi's diary. Turning the first page, Lin Yuan saw a piece of paper in the middle. Lin Yuan immediately opened it and took a look. Originally, Lin Yuan thought that this was just Zhang Pudao's paper, but he didn't expect to open it and find that there was a landscape map drawn on the paper. The picture shows a large crater, and some machinery is vaguely drawn around the pit. This is? Lin Yuan put a question mark. Closing the paper, Lin Yuan opened the diary. The previous July diary was just written about the trivial things in life, and Lin Yuan didn't look at it much until he turned to the diary in August.

August 3rd

Today I dreamed of a strange place, surrounded by pale yellow lights and a lot of passages......

Lin Yuan flipped through a few pages, and also saw some simple cave drawings in other diaries. What was her dreaming about? Lin Yuan became curious, and he turned a few more pages. "September 23rd, isn't this yesterday's diary, Lin Yuan saw a strange picture in this diary, the picture was a pitted slate. Although the slate looked very strange, Lin Yuan still saw the problem. It seems to have been seen earlier. Lin Yuan immediately turned the page forward and looked at the cave map in front of him. "Isn't this just a topographical map?" Lin Yuan said to himself after reading it. I remember seeing the scene in this painting, but I didn't expect it to be strange that she didn't keep a diary and keep a daily note. Lin Yuan thought about it, closed Bai Qi's diary, and left the classroom.

During the afternoon recess, Lin Yuan turned to Bai Qi behind him and asked, "What is drawn in your diary?" ”

"You peek at my diary!" Bai Qi looked at Lin Yuan with a frightened expression. Lin Yuan said with an indifferent face: "What is peeking, I look at it openly, by the way, where are the pictures drawn in your diary." Bai Qi found from Lin Yuan's tone that he seemed to know something, and he was interested, so he no longer cared about Lin Yuan peeking at his diary and said, "I don't know if it's true, it's just a scene I dreamed of, but have you seen similar scenes?" Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "I've seen it, but it's not all seen, I remember that Qi Lin Yanjing used to be a bit like the giant pit painted in your diary." Bai Qi heard this and said excitedly: "Qilin Salt Well, it's really like what I drew in my diary, then can you tell me where Qilin Salt Well is?" Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, this guy didn't know what he was drawing, how could she be sure that what I said was what she dreamed of? Forget it, let's talk to her. Lin Yuan cleared his throat and said slowly: "I haven't seen the salt well with my own eyes, but I have really seen the salt lake. "Salt lake?" Bai Qi looked puzzled. Lin Yuan then began to tell about his childhood experience:

"It was about five years ago, and my parents and I went to Qilin, Qinghai to play with my uncle. My uncle was teaching in a village in Qilin. I don't remember exactly what that village was called, except that there was a huge salt lake not far from it. ”

"Can you get to the point?" Bai Qi interrupted Lin Yuan's narration unhappily. Lin Yuan said rhetorically: "Hey, am I talking, or are you talking, can you not interrupt when others are speaking, otherwise I won't speak!" ”

"I ......" Bai Qi knew that he couldn't pay attention to it, so he had to continue to listen to Lin Yuan's story.

"I heard my uncle say that the salt lake was a huge salt pit one year ago, and I don't know what the reason is, the miners accidentally opened up the underground river during a work, and then the underground mine was filled with water, and finally the groundwater even overflowed the surface mining area, forming the salt lake I have seen. And then the picture you drew in your diary, I saw something like that on the mine drawings at the time, but I don't remember it exactly. ”

"What happened to the miners?" Bai Qi was obviously very concerned about the whereabouts of the miners. Lin Yuan glanced at her and said, "I heard my uncle say that none of the workers in the underground mining area survived at that time, because Qilin was in a semi-arid area, so the people there basically had no diving rescue equipment. After the mine was filled with water, everyone was not able to rescue in the first place. However, the strangest thing is that the experts at the time pointed out that there was no underground water flow near the underground of the mining area, but the relevant experts were also removed after this incident. You say that in this semi-arid area, how can there be an underground river if the grass does not even grow? After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he reached out and picked up the mineral water on his table, took a sip to moisten his throat, and saw that Bai Qi did not speak, and said:

"But that's not what impressed me the salt lake the most. I remember going to see my uncle, who could play the guitar, and he took me to the newly built wooden bridge in the salt lake. I remember my uncle and I sitting on the wooden bridge, he played the guitar and I looked at the scenery and enjoyed the warmth of the salt lake under the sunset. I didn't know what happened at the time, so I accidentally fell into the lake! ”

"Fell into the lake." Bai Qi said with a face.

"Yes, I thought I was dead at the time, and then my uncle fished me out, but it was strange that I would sink into a salt lake, but fortunately I was rescued later. But the happiest thing is that my uncle has been teaching me to practice guitar since then. ”

"It's okay Lin Yuan, I probably know." Bai Qi interrupted Lin Yuan's speech, she seemed to be thinking about her own affairs. Lin Yuan felt a little angry, and thought that Bai Qi was willing to listen to her story, but he didn't expect that she was just paying attention to her own business. Lin Yuan thought about it, she was originally telling her about the salt lake, and it was up to her to listen to her own story or not, so she still shouldn't be angry. After Lin Yuan thought about it, he gave Bai Qi one

smiled, and turned back.

After school, Lin Yuan originally wanted to go to Liu Wei to play basketball, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Bai Qi. She whispered, "Lin Yuan, can you go down with me?" "This?" Lin said that he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the white seven gourd. "That's it, that's it." Bai Qi made a decision on his own without waiting for Lin Yuan to agree, and Lin Yuan smiled helplessly.

The two walked home in the sunset. "Your house is going this way too?" Lin Yuan looked at Bai Qi with some confusion. Bai Qi nodded in confirmation. The evening breeze gently blew on Bai Qi's face, causing her drooping black hair to sway from side to side. Lin Yuan looked at it and felt comfortable, so he didn't think about how to get out and play ball. At this time, Bai Qi turned his head and asked, "Do you know how to get to Qi Lin in Qinghai?" "Qilin is just a small city, in the provinces, what are you going to do there?" Lin Yuan asked puzzled. "I don't know how to say it, anyway, I just want to go, why do you care so much!" Bai Qibai glanced at him and replied angrily. "You are kind enough to say that I am nosy, obviously you asked me to come, if this is the case, I will leave first." Lin Yuan said as he wanted to see Bai Qi's reaction. Bai Qi was silent, and after a while, Lin Yuan saw that she was no longer embarrassed to speak, so he said to himself: "Qilin County is in Qinghai, if you want to go, you can take the high-speed train, but you may have to transfer the train, so you add me QQ and I will help you plan the itinerary in a while and send it to you."

"Really?"

"I can still lie to you, by the way, when are you going to go there?"

"Winter vacation, there's time at that time."

After answering Bai Qi's question, both of them fell silent. Bai Qi seemed to think about his own business. Lin Yuan turned his head to look at Bai Qi, and at this time, a stone worn by Bai Qi's neck attracted his attention. It was a square angular stone, the surface of the stone was angular, and it could be seen that the material was not jade, and the stone was not tied with rope perforations, but was entangled by rope. Lin Yuan also noticed some strange lines on the stone. The lines look a bit like runes. Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then pointed to the stone and asked Bai Qi, "What is this?" Bai Qi picked up the stone around his neck and looked at it and said, "I don't know, my mother said it was just an ordinary stone." "Ordinary stone?" Lin Yuan was obviously a little surprised.

"Okay, I think it's a little weird to look at."

"Where did you get it?" Lin Yuan asked with interest. Bai Qi didn't answer Lin Yuan's question this time, she lowered her head slightly, her eyes were instantly moist, and Lin Yuan hurriedly apologized when she saw that she knew that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked. Bai Qi turned his head to look at Lin Yuan and said weakly: "I don't know why I want to cry when I think of the origin of this stone, I'm sorry, I scared you just now." Lin Yuan just wanted to ask, but he heard his mother's voice coming from somewhere: "What is Lin Yuan doing?" Lin Yuan heard his mother's voice and found that he had walked downstairs in his own community, Lin Yuan hurriedly said goodbye to Bai Qi and walked to his house, Bai Qi stood in place and looked at Lin Yuan's apartment and said to himself: "Is this still the building area that my father manages?" ”

Back at home, after Bai Qi had a simple meal with her mother, she didn't rush to write about her business, but asked her mother a question: "Mom, have you ever been to Qilin in Qinghai?" I heard that there is a huge salt lake there. Bai Qi's mother immediately showed a surprised expression on her face, but it quickly disappeared again, and she said, "I've been there, Bai Qi, why are you asking this?" ”

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask." After listening to Bai Qi's words, Bai Qi's mother hesitated for a moment before she said slowly: "I went to that swirl tour with your father a few years ago. After cleaning up the dining table, Bai Qi went back to his room to do his homework.

In the evening, after sending off her daughter who went to self-study in the evening, Bai Qi's mother sat on the sofa and pondered something. At this time, the door was pushed open, and Bai Qi's father, Li Qiyao, returned home with his tired body. As soon as Bai Qi's mother saw him, she said, "Husband, I have something I want to talk to you about my daughter." ”

"You mean Bai Qi?"

"yes, she seems to have remembered something."

"Isn't that good?"

"But I'm afraid Bai Qi won't be able to accept it."

The two chatted and couldn't help but think back to three years ago......

At that time, Li Qiyao had not yet become the company's property owner, and he was arranged by the company to Qilin in Qinghai to supervise the real estate work. In order to accompany her husband, Li Heqing went to Qi Lin with Qi Yao on a business trip. That afternoon, after inspecting the building and working, Li Qiyao took his wife to the salt lake to play. The two talked and laughed and came to the newly repaired wooden bridge in Salt Lake. At this time, Li Heqing wanted to take a picture, so Qi Yao asked her to stand up. While taking pictures, Lee saw from the camera that there was a person in the lake! He was so eager to save people that he jumped straight into the lake, and then they rescued the person who had fallen into the lake, a little girl about eleven or twelve years old. When the girl wakes up, the two find that she seems to be a little delirious and does not remember who she is. Later in the girl's bag of clothes, they saw a greeting card and a stone. The two learned from it that the girl's name was Bai Qi, so they had no other information. Finally, with the help of the local police, they found out Bai Qi's household registration, she was the daughter of a worker in the mine, the worker had already died because of Yanjing Yunshui, so Bai Qi became a child without relatives, Li Heqing and her husband planned to adopt Bai Qi as their daughter. In order not to make Bai Qi sad, the two chose to hide the fact that her father was dead, and then told her that they were Bai Qi's parents. At that time, the Shanghai company's project in Qilin had just been completed, and the two left Qilin with Bai Qi......

"I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it." He Qing looked at her husband and said helplessly. Li Qiyao didn't say anything, just smoked silently.

After evening self-study, Lin Yuan talked with Liu Wei and others in the classroom about the school's upcoming singing competition and basketball game. Liu Weixing said excitedly: "Brother Yuan, do you participate in this basketball game

？ Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "Participate, but I also want to participate in the singing competition, the training time may not be enough, so ......" Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, Liu Wei immediately replied: "Brother Yuan, it's no problem, it's a big deal, let's sing with you." At this time, several people next to him also responded to Liu Wei in unison. Lin Yuan smiled and gave Liu Wei a look, and Liu Wei immediately understood what Lin Yuan meant. Everyone broke up. Lin Yuan returned to his position. At this time, Bai Qi in the back seat pulled the back collar of Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" Bai Qi was stunned for a long time before he said, "Thank you for helping me plan my trip." Lin Yuan waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing, he thought for a while and said, "By the way, which university do you want to go to in the future?" Bai Qi shook his head before replying, "I don't know if I haven't thought about it for the time being, what about you?" "Me? I want to go to university in Shanghai and maybe go to Guangzhou. Lin Yuan said seriously......

When he got home in the evening, Lin Yuan put down his schoolbag and walked into the bathroom to take a bath, when his mother's voice came: "Lin Yuan, hurry up, I'll talk to you later." Lin Yuan didn't answer his mother, he couldn't figure out what his mother had to tell him face to face.

After taking a bath, Lin Yuan came to the living room after getting dressed, and Lin Yuan's father was also present at this time, Lin Yuan's heart was like a wave drum, he didn't know what the big deal was, and he was so serious. After Lin Yuan sat down, Lin Yuan's father Lin Weihai spoke: "Son, I have agreed with your mother to move back to my hometown next month, and Hangzhou is no longer in Shanghai, how can you think about it?" "Move! Why move? Dad, has your company changed again? Lin Yuan looked a little surprised. Lin Yuan's mother hurriedly explained: "My son is not your father's work problem, but the house is due and the cost of classes is a bit large, your father and I are planning to move back to Hangzhou, and we are going to go through the transfer procedures for you in order to facilitate your study." Lin Yuan wanted to say but swallowed back. After a long time, he said, "Mom and Dad, I'll go do my homework first." Back in his bedroom, Lin Yuan thought about what his parents said just now, and then looked at the math problem that Bai Qi gave him today. Forget it, don't think about it so much, let's finish the problem first. Lin Yuan sighed deeply and calmed down.
