Chapter 20: The Origin of the Fireball (Part I)
"It's true that something is wrong, this time it doesn't look like someone touched the mechanism, and it doesn't look like it's artificial, but it's really too much of a coincidence in terms of forming the pattern of the stars. "I can't say I don't believe it at all, but I always feel that it was too much of a coincidence, and now I just hope that I think too much.
"There are many places that are too coincidental, but now it is important to obtain a necklace representing the star (xiu) of the Suzaku Seven Nakshatras. Scarlet didn't think much of it.
"That's right. "Still using the previous method, I took off the necklace that represented the stars (xiu) in the Seven Nakshatras of the Vermilion Bird.
"Wait, there's something wrong with this necklace. You compare it with the necklace you just had before. Pei Yilin suddenly reminded.
After comparing them, I did find something different: "This one is fake." ”
"It looks like it's inducing us. Bai Shenghuang then understood.
"The specific location of the necklace that really represents the stars in the Seven Suzaku (xiu) is still uncertain, so we have to go to the city first, inquire about some news, and then go to the nearby farmhouse, and some questions have not been solved. ”
"That's right. However, why didn't Xiu go to the nearby farmhouse first, but first go to the city to inquire?"
"Who do you think would casually say something to a stranger from a stranger? When you don't know the local situation, you go to inquire about something, and if you don't find out what you want, you will be tricked by others, and there are many people coming and going in the city, and it is relatively prosperous, so it is easier to gather some information. ”
"yes, why didn't I think of that?"
No one objected to this, and they walked towards their goal, and there was no scenery along the way except for large fields and sparse houses. After walking for more than an hour, I felt very tired and thirsty, and at this time I had walked to the gate of Xingchen City, walked to the city, and it happened that the street we went to was a relatively retro commercial street, and there was a tea room not far away, a few of us walked into the tea room, found a relatively large seat and sat down, drank some water, and rested.
In fact, the tea room is not only a good place to rest and drink tea, but also a good place to inquire about news. Because there are a lot of people coming in and out here, and they are basically retired elderly people, they usually watch some current affairs and news when they have nothing to do, and some people are passing by here and resting here for a while, so they can smoothly inquire about some things, but the people here are also experienced people, so you still have to be careful.
Just when I was thinking about how to inquire about the best, the people at the table next to me actually talked about it themselves:
"It's been a lot of weird things lately, and they're all weird things that can't be believed. An old man with gray hair spoke first.
"That's right. However, I heard that the president has already hired someone to settle the matter. A middle-aged man with black and white hair mixed up next to the old man continued.
"Yes, I recently heard that the situation in Jingsu Town, Ghost Mountain, and Liumu Village has been resolved. The middle-aged man sitting across from the two of them, with a slight baldness on the top of his head, also spoke.
"Our situation here is not quite the same as theirs, it's much better than them, it's only happened once so far. The gray-haired old man spoke again.
"During this time, too many things have happened, and the star in the sky, the Suzaku Seven Houses (xiu), has also changed a little, I don't know if there is a connection between this, what happened in our Star City. As soon as the middle-aged man with a little bald on the top of his head finished speaking, he knew in his heart that this person had studied the stars.
"Uncle, do you have a good understanding of the stars?" I asked the bald man with a look of surprise on his face.
"Can you understand this little girl?"
"It's just a little curious. ”
"There are very few little girls like you who are curious about the stars now. ”
"I just heard that something strange is happening, what is the strange thing?" Scarlet looked at the man with curious eyes, coupled with the natural baby face, people had to let down their guard against him.
"Some time ago, there was an inexplicable fireball in the suburbs, and the strangest thing is that only the one in the suburbs fell, and so far it was that time. ”
"Really?"
"Of course, the mark left by the fireball is still there. ”
"Then we're going to see what the mark of the fireball looks like. ”
"Little girl, don't go. What if there is another fireball?"
"Didn't you say it, I've only done it once so far, and after so long, I definitely won't go down again. ”
"If you want to go, be careful. ”
"Got it, thanks for the reminder. ”
After saying that, the checkout left.
On the way:
"It seems that the people here are not very protective against outsiders. "In the last few minutes of conversation, I feel that the people here are not very defensive of others.
"That's right, you can feel it from the conversation just now. Bai Shenghuang nodded and said.
Bai Shenghuang is one of the more careful among several people.
"Next, we should go to the houses in the suburbs and inquire. After all, only those few are closer to the place of the incident, and they can see it most clearly. Pei Yilin rarely said a word.
When I returned to the outskirts of the city again, it was already getting late, so I could only borrow a night from someone nearby to make plans, and I could also inquire about some details.
Directly chose a closer family, only to find that it was an old couple who were a few years old, and the son and daughter-in-law of the old couple lived in the city, this huge house only their old couple lived, seeing that it was late, and did not find another place to live, they readily agreed.
