Volume 1 The Death of the Falling Star Chapter 1 The Comet Sweeps the Land
"Hey, the one over there, that's right, it's called you. A fierce-looking man shouted gloomily and playfully, "Have you made up the money for this month?"
Lin Xi timidly glanced back at the tall and fat man, and replied hurriedly and cautiously: "Yes, big brother, you take care of it." ”
That's right, this man's name is Cai Qian, he is a gangster in the school, he is rampant and domineering in the school all the year round, and once he saw Lin Xi going out with a few hundred yuan in his hand, so he borrowed some money to spend it. Because of Lin Xi's good family background and cowardly character, he has become the focus of Cai Qian's harvest since then.
"Why are you so much! Are you looking down on me!" Cai Qian pressed his knuckles, making a crackling sound, and then looked meaningfully at the entourage next to him.
"Big brother, this month is relatively tight, I can't make up such a ...... for a while" Before Lin Xi finished speaking, he was kicked in the stomach by the entourage next to him.
"It's a waste, I have to teach you another lesson today," he said, and the class bell rang. "Hmph, count yourself lucky, let's go. ”
Lin Xi's expression was gloomy, he stood up, patted the dust, and quickly rushed to the classroom. Summer vacation is coming soon, and the last class is a class meeting, so don't be late.

"Students, tomorrow will be the summer vacation. During the summer vacation, everyone should pay attention to safety and don't play too much. As soon as Mr. Zhou entered the classroom, he went straight to the topic, which caused a cheer from the students in the audience. Ms. Zhou is a graduate of our school, and after graduating from Normal University, she returned to her alma mater directly to teach Chinese classes. Although she is a woman with an elegant temperament and good looks, her work ability is not impeccable. But it's hard to understand that I'm 29 years old this year and I'm still single. Subsequently, the teacher of the class meeting last week commented on the test papers of the final exam, and arranged the summer vacation homework in a proper manner, and the class meeting was coming to an end.
"Okay, it's out of school. Don't forget your summer homework. Students with poor grades should not be able to relax during the summer vacation. Teacher Zhou said seriously, "Lin Xi came to my office. This was not unexpected, but the surrounding classmates all looked at Lin Xi gloatingly. Because Lin Xi's grades are always at the bottom, not only at the bottom of the class, but also at the bottom of the grade.
The solar term has reached a small summer, and the weather has become very hot. Lin Xi carried his schoolbag and walked through the corridor alone to Teacher Zhou's office. The orange sunset warmly hit the door of the teacher's office, Lin Xi was apprehensive, although he knew that he would be reprimanded, he still pushed the door open.
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I'm here. Lin Xi looked at Teacher Zhou.
"Your exam results are still the same this time, do you have any plans for the future?" Teacher Zhou said with a wry smile, "I understand your usual efforts, but ...... To put it bluntly, it is still more difficult for you to be admitted to university with this grade, and maybe entering a vocational school and learning a technology will be more beneficial to your future. ”
"There's no way around it, I'll think about it carefully. Lin Xi said lightly.
Lin Xi was born with severe dyslexia, so he often struggled to read a complete sentence smoothly, and was regarded as a freak in his daily school life. Although it can take several times or even dozens of times the effort of others, the results of the exam are always a mess. Teacher Zhou also understands this, so he has never been embarrassed by Lin Xi.
"Don't be discouraged, many people throughout history have had dyslexia, albeit to varying degrees. Like Churchill, Edison, Picasso, etc. Keep up the good work, maybe one day there will be a turnaround. Teacher Zhou was about to open the drawer, but after a moment of hesitation, he lowered his right hand, and then said with a little sympathy, "God closes a door, and he will definitely open a window for you." ”
Lin Xi's favorite subject is geography, and he is often obsessed with astronomy. As a result, he fantasized about becoming an astronomer, even a theoretical physicist like Albert Einstein. However, this kind of dream must be based on good academic ability, and if you can't even get into college, then it will be a flower in the moon.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi's eyes moistened a little, "You don't understand at all, what do normal people like Teacher Zhou understand." Lin Xi suddenly said hysterically, and then ran out of the office. Lin Xi's emotions have not been so out of shape for a long time, even if he was ridiculed and bullied, he never shed a single tear, but this time the tears couldn't stop flowing down. Yes, a person can endure the insults of others, but it is difficult to endure the sympathy of others, even if it is chicken soup for the soul.
Teacher Zhou was the only one left in the empty office, and the sound of cicadas outside was endless. "Maybe that's life. There are so many unfortunate people in the world, sister, you can't help everyone. The black cat came out of the corner of the office, and it licked its paws and said helplessly. Teacher Zhou nodded, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"What happened to me today, why did I suddenly lose my temper. Lin Xi walked by the river and said to himself with a smile, "This result is not unexpected, maybe I'm too tired, I'll go out tomorrow to go for a long walk, and I just have a place I want to go." ”
When Lin Xi walked near home, it was getting late and the sun had already set. "It's not okay to go home with this expression," Lin Xi suddenly thought. So I took a long detour to the shopping street and bought a small piece of strawberry cake. Then he went home. Walking to the door, he patted his face, then took out the key to open the door, and said with a smile: "I'm back." I also bought a cake by the way, do you want to? ”
"Eat, eat. Brother, I'll put it in the refrigerator first, you can't steal it. "The one who came to greet me was a petite and beautiful figure, this was Lin Xi's sister Lin Yue. Because my parents have been engaged in confidential research for a long time, they rarely go home, and they usually just want to take the initiative to contact them, and they don't know how to contact them. Therefore, there have always been two brothers and sisters in the family.
"It's time to eat, the meal has just been prepared. Lin Yue said with a smile, "Hehehe, what I made today is Spanish seafood risotto, your favorite food, hurry up and praise me." ”
"Wow, my sister is really the best in the world. It's really good to go up to the hall and down to the kitchen. The cooking skills are higher than the chefs of the five-star Michelin hotels," Lin Xi gushed endlessly, eating while talking.
"It's perfunctory. Do you need to say this? Lin Yue turned her head and said angrily, then showed a faint smile and began to bow her head to eat. There is a TV at the dining table, and watching TV with her family while eating is the most relaxing moment of Lin Xi's day.
Lin Xi finished his meal and took a bite of the remaining ice cubes on the plate. "It's summer vacation starting tomorrow, what are you going to do in the summer vacation?"
"I think about it, write my summer homework first, then practice the piano, and make an appointment with Du Ruo to go shopping in the evening. Lin Yue said with a smile.
"It was a great day. Lin Xi thought of his future and couldn't help but sigh, "I want to go to Longhu Mountain tomorrow, and by the way, I will offer incense and worship the gods." ”
"Are you alone, brother?"
"Yes. Otherwise?" Lin Xi shrugged.
"Okay, you go out and stay safe, and remember to call me when you get there. Lin Yue urged seriously, "Eh, it is said on TV that there is an Aquariid meteor shower tomorrow, and it is the largest meteor shower in a century. Lin Yue turned up the volume of the TV, and the announcer on the TV was patiently explaining" The Aquariids are meteor showers that appear as radiants near the constellation Aquariids, and there are three times a year: the first is called the Aquariids η which appears around April 19 to May 28 each year and its parent is Halley's Comet, the second is called the South Branch δ Aquariids, which occurs around July 12 to August 19 each year, and the third is called the δ Aquariids North Branch meteor shower, which occurs around July 15 to August 25 each year. The Southern Branch meteor shower will come near the middle and low latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere, and the meteor shower can be seen in any sunny place throughout our country. ”
"Wow, meteor shower. Brother, are you going to see it?"
"No, I'd better sleep on my head, and I can't eat it when I watch meteor showers. ”
"It's realistic. The meteor shower is obviously so romantic," Lin Yue said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I'll prepare what I'm going to use tomorrow and go to bed. With that, Lin Xi went to his room.
It is said to be a mountain climb, but in fact you can take a cable car. The accommodation is not a tent, just stay in a hotel. It really doesn't seem like there's anything to prepare. After eating too much just now, Lin Xi lay on the bed, thinking about it, he began to feel sleepy, and then fell asleep.
——————————————————————
The "Jingle Bell ......" alarm clock rang, Lin Xi opened his eyes and pressed the alarm clock, it was now eight o'clock in the morning. It's a good night's sleep, and I don't have to go to school. When the curtains were opened, it was already bright outside, the sky was cloudless, and there were bursts of bird chirping outside the window. "It's a good day to go out and maybe something good will happen. Lin Xi couldn't help but think like this. Lin Yue hadn't woken up yet, and this kid was really too tired usually. It's going to school again, and it's taking care of my useless brother. Lin Xi washed up, carried a schoolbag, and walked out of the house.
In today's era, the transportation is convenient, it seems that you can get to Yingtan City by high-speed rail for a few hours, and then take a bus to the place. On the first day of the summer vacation, there were not many people at the station, and after successfully buying a high-speed rail ticket, Lin Xi went to the platform to find the train he wanted to take.
