Chapter 1 Meteor Shower

Milky Way, Sun, Earth, China, Southeast Zhejiang Province, Taishi, Kuocang Mountain......

On the evening of November 18, 2001, the largest Leonid meteor shower of the year will explode a few hours later.

A gray Mazda6 sedan with Boom Boom Boom DJ music resounded on the winding road of Kucang Mountain, speeding towards the top of the mountain.

“Whoa oh Whoa oh...”

"Wow, wow, ......"

“Boom boom boom.......”

The four young men in the car swayed their bodies to the music, and their mouths cried wolf with the Bose stereo in the car......

"Ah Hai, how long will it take?"

A young man in his twenties sitting in the back seat with Guo Tianwang's hairstyle opened a pack of hard Chinese and scattered cigarettes to the other three people in the car, while casually asking the tall young man in the driver's seat.

"Soon, just go through the first few corners," the young man named Ah Hai, who held the steering wheel in his left hand, skillfully clamped the cigarette with the middle finger of his right index finger, stuffed it into his mouth, and lit the cigarette with a "snap" sound, and then said after a puff of smoke: "Ying Jun, it's better for you to sell electricity, and you have TV to watch all day long, otherwise you don't know that there is a meteor shower at night." ”

"It's just, I didn't have to see it on the second floor!"

The thin young man sitting in the co-pilot with an inch head agreed deeply and answered casually.

"Damn, Brother Chao, you sell a mobile phone on the second floor to earn a thousand, and we sell a Sony 34-inch downstairs for more than 10,000 to earn one or two hundred," another sturdy inch-headed young man in the back seat was unhappy, and immediately retorted: "It's still heavy to death, a TV is a hundred pounds!"

"Damn~ Why don't you sell a set of stereos to make a few thousand!"

The co-pilot's inch-headed young brother Chao immediately replied.

"It's impossible to have customers come to buy a complete set of stereos every day," Ying Jun took a puff of cigarette and continued: "The first floor is full of electric appliances, the competition is too fierce, a few big stores at the door have good business, my store is in the corridor in a general location, sometimes I sell one or two VCD TV refrigerators all day long, I can't make money at all!"

The driver Ah Hai laughed and said: "That's, there are only a few brands of TV refrigerators or something, everyone is selling, the price is too transparent, and the audio can't be compared, after all, I basically don't understand what I came to buy, just rely on blowing!haha~"

"It's still Brother Chao who sells mobile phones on the second floor to make money, the store doesn't need to be too big, the rent is low, and the Alcatel mobile phone you sell has goods in the entire market. ”

Another inch-headed young man in the back seat continued: "Now that Ying Jun has also opened his own store, I am still working hard to help others sell electricity, and I will eat up 2,000 yuan a month!"

"Eat all and use up to be healthy!"

"When you're healthy, you can ...... seven times a night"

"Young people don't know how precious they are, and old people want to cry ......."

The Mazda6 is getting closer and closer to the top of the hill with dynamic music and the sound of a group of young people frolicking......

The Kuocang Mountain Range is located in the southeast of Zhejiang, the main peak is more than 1,300 meters above sea level, it is the first peak in the southeast of Zhejiang, it is located in the territory of Taishi, the climate is pleasant, the scenery is beautiful, whether it is sightseeing or playing, it is a good place, not to mention that watching meteor showers at night is the first choice in Taishi.

There is a large platform on the top of the mountain, and there are already a few cars parked, and more than a dozen camping tents have been set up on the grass on the side, which is also a must-have equipment for car owners who come to play and prepare to spend the night.

There are also a few astronomical telescopes over there, this one is very proud, and the conditions for spending tens of thousands of dollars at every turn to see the stars and the moon are better!

Most of the people on the top of the mountain observe with the naked eye, and only a few use telescopes, and many people have never seen real objects with astronomical telescopes.

Mazda6 carried four young people to the top of the mountain smoothly, and everyone couldn't help but take a few more glances when passing by, because the four of them brought a telescope.

"There are so many tents! I have one in the trunk, do you want to set it up?"

The driver, Ah Hai, asked.

"The mountain wind is too big to be lazy, and we don't live here!" Ying Jun glanced at the camping tent that was swaying from side to side by the wind and said: "The news said that it was early in the morning, and I will go back after reading it, and I will open a store tomorrow." ”

They weren't ready to spend the night here, Ying Jun and his friends partnered to open an electrical appliance store in March this year, three stores in the market are from others' hands, the young man who is called Brother Chao is called Xu Chao, and he also has a store in the mobile phone hypermarket on the second floor of the market, the sturdy young man in the back seat is called Jiang Hua, who was a colleague of Ying Jun who originally helped other electrical stores sell electrical appliances, the electronic and electrical market is open at half past eight in the morning, except for the New Year's market closed for eight days (the first to the eighth day of the new year), the rest of the time is normal business, so the three of them have to go to the market on time in the morning to open the door to pick up customers。

The driver of Mazda6 is called Zhang Jianghai, there are several injection molding machines at home, producing disposable plastic bowls, plastic spoons or something, although the profit is not high but can not stand a large amount, a few injection molding machines a year can bring him hundreds of thousands of gross profits, otherwise he can't afford to buy more than 200,000 Mazda6 top matching, after all, now the most running on the road is Volkswagen Santana, Jetta, as well as Xiali, Fukang, Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi has no store in Taiwan, and those who open a Honda Accord Mazda6 are considered rich.

At this time, Geely had just started to build cars, although it was a local enterprise in Taiwan City, but the quality of the cars that had just come out was unstable, so the people of Taiwan City made up an unusually smooth "... Umbrella in rainy weather... The highway trembles unilaterally..."That is, the roof leaks on rainy days, the speed is unstable, and the like is forced to be hacked!

Although Zhang Jianghai looks rich, but also earns hard money, the injection molding machine is 24 hours a day to work can not stop, with electric heating to dissolve the plastic raw materials and extrude out of the product, a stop the machine to cool down and reheat the electricity cost at least dozens of yuan, so people also have to stare at it day and night, otherwise the product will be all waste. It's a little better in winter, but in summer, it's not to mention the sourness of working next to a hot injection molding machine!

At the beginning, Zhang Jianghai was Ying Jun's customer, bought a set of stereos from his store, at this time, he would brag about being an audiophile when he bought a set of stereos, what bass is elastic, the middle frequency is wide, the treble is silky, etc., plus what reviews and recommendations in various audio-visual magazines, how much to change a speaker cable or audio cable to improve the sound quality, all blow a set of sets, both of them are young people can also talk together, and they have become friends.

As for Xu Chao and Ying Jun, they also developed from the customer relationship, and they are very familiar with buying a mobile phone and running upstairs and downstairs, Jiang Hua and Ying Jun were originally colleagues, and the relationship is not bad.

So this time I came out to see the meteor shower that Ying Jun saw on the TV news, and then found Zhang Jianghai who had a car, and then pulled Xu Chao and Jiang Hua, a car of four people just happened to be not crowded, and when waiting at the top of the mountain, you can also play playing cards such as double buckles and upgrades to pass the time.

There is a farmhouse at the top of the hill, which was originally the working and living place of the forest rangers.

Later, the winding mountain road was repaired, and the car could go directly to the top of the mountain, so there were more people who came to play to see the scenery, and the farmhouse was also born, which not only solved the problem of catering for tourists, but also increased the income of the rangers, well, win-win!

Therefore, the square table made of ordinary wooden planks in the courtyard of the farmhouse on the top of the mountain also plays a good role, and it is used as a dining table when eating, and it becomes a card table mahjong table as soon as it is cleaned up after eating.

Each table is rented for five dollars for an unlimited amount of time.

What? You say expensive?

It's okay, the platform at the top of the hill is very wide, and you can use it as a card table by yourself, and there are many people waiting for an empty table in the back!

The mountain wind is very strong, be careful that the cards blow away!

Besides, why can you see the cards clearly when you are blind in the black light outside at night? Why is the table rent in the yard five yuan, and the yard is sheltered from the wind and rain, and the lights are pulled for free lighting at night!

So in the sound of noise, mahjong, crackling poker, the time has come to the early morning of the 19th......

Ying Jun and the four of them played cards until about eleven o'clock in the evening, and bought a few pieces of roasted sweet potatoes from the farmhouse for supper, so they hid in the car and waited for the meteor shower to appear.

The weather in late autumn is very good, the night sky is full of stars, and you can see it from the top of the mountain at a height of more than 1,300 meters. The weather in November has already turned cooler, the temperature on the top of the mountain is low and the wind is strong, and the few people not far away who look at the starry sky with astronomical telescopes are wrapped in blankets, otherwise they really can't bear it.

At about one o'clock in the morning, Ying Jun, who was half-lying in the passenger seat, squinted slightly at the northern night sky, holding a cigarette in his mouth, but didn't light it, because the other three people had already fallen asleep, except for the roof sunroof and a slit in the back, the other windows were closed, otherwise it would be cool if the mountain wind blew and blew.

A shiny trail of meteors suddenly appeared in the northern night sky.

"!" Ying Jun's eyes that were originally slightly squinted widened, and the person sat up from a half-lying down, and kept shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, the meteor shower is coming." ”

"Where, where..."

"Where?"

A few buddies have never seen a meteor shower, and they are all excited all of a sudden.

At this time, there was a shout outside the car, and the meteor shower appeared, coming, coming...

"Get out of the car and look at the car, you can't see clearly in the back seat. ”

Ying Jun gave pertinent advice to Xu Chao and Jiang Hua in the back row, and wrapped his coat in his hand.

With the sound of "click" two door openings, a cool mountain breeze suddenly swept through the car.

"Damn, it's cold!"

This is Jiang Hua, he got out of the car one step faster.

"Hiss~" Xu Chao's butt was still in the car, and he moved his outstretched legs back into the car, a cool mountain breeze blew goosebumps on him, and he closed the car door again, looked at Jiang Hua, who was bouncing outside to keep warm, and patted Ying Jun's shoulder with a roll of his eyes.

"Ying Jun, change positions!"

"No way!"

He glanced at Ah Hai's driver's seat again, thought about it and gave up, after all, the car belonged to someone else, not to mention that he and Ah Hai also met through Ying Jun, and the relationship was not very iron.

"Bring you breakfast tomorrow morning!"

Ying Jun ignored him, is it a matter of breakfast when it is cold outside?

"A pack of China!"

It's a big up.

“......”

"Two packs..."

Ah Hai in the driver's seat pricked up his ears.

At this moment, another meteor flashed from the night sky with a bright light.

Suddenly, shouts and exclamations rang out from the top of the mountain.

Xu Chao heard the voice, leaned on the window and looked, it was dark outside, there were a few stars in the night sky, and the hair of the meteor god horse was not seen.

"A piece of China..."

"Deal!"

Ying Jun glanced at Ah Hai, who opened his mouth and didn't speak, the corners of his mouth curved a little, turned his head to Xu Chao, who was a little dazed, and said, "Bring it to me when the market opens in the morning." ”

casually winked at Ah Hai and said, "Divide half of your strips and help me open the trunk." ”

So he got out of the car indifferently, indifferently lifted the trunk, and took out a small blanket and moisture-proof mat from the tent, which he saw when Ah Hai drove to pick them up in the afternoon, and he helped move some sundries in the back seat to the trunk.

At this time, Xu Chao, who was regretting that he was bleeding too much, saw Ying Jun Shi Ran, who was wrapped in a blanket, spread out the moisture-proof mat, beckoned Jiang Hua to sit down leisurely, and then smoked a cigarette, which was particularly awkward.

"Ni..."

"You said it yourself, and my brothers heard it!"

Ying Jun didn't wait for him to scold, and flicked the cigarette ash and gestured to him.

I usually play well, and I know that "Nima", "Sleep", "I rely on" or something are all mantras, but no one wants to take one more swear word, usually chatting and blurting out swear words, no one counts, but just now a Chinese cigarette 380 yuan of heavy bleeding but he said it himself, everyone is a businessman to be honest.

"Here we go again, here we go again..."

"Over there, over there..."

"Beautiful!"

Another meteor crossed the atmosphere, burning out a beautiful band of light, Xu Chao didn't have the mind to care, a cigarette is nothing, just sell a mobile phone and earn it back, that is, how did Ying Jun know that there is a blanket in the trunk, in fact, he himself forgot that when he first arrived at the top of the mountain, Ah Hai said that there was a tent in the trunk, but the existence of necessary things such as blankets and moisture-proof mats in the tent was something he didn't understand, because he hadn't drilled into a tent!

At about two o'clock in the morning, the peak of the meteor shower came, from the previous minute or a few minutes to almost every second there were meteors trailing trails flashing, not only in the north, but also in the southeast and northwest directions were shining by various meteor trails of one or a few seconds, orange, green, yellow, white and other bright colors appeared, and the cheers on the top of the mountain resounded...

At this time, in addition to cheers, Ying Jun's ears seemed to hear a slight "boom" sound, and after listening carefully, there seemed to be no other sound except cheers, and his brows furrowed slightly, he has sold electrical appliances for more than three years, and he is usually more enthusiastic about the audio, although he does not have double gold ears like real audiophiles, and can hear what current noise is when recording CDs, but he can still distinguish some of the details of the sound relatively well, so he touched Jiang Hua, who was wrapped in a blanket with him on the side,

"Did you hear a rumble just now?"

"What?" Jiang Hua was stunned.

"I said, did you hear a rumble just now?"

"Fart, you're afraid of a meteor hitting your head!" Jiang Huazheng was elated, but when Ying Jun interrupted him like this, he turned his head and looked at at least a few meteors, a little unhappy, and pouted and said, "How can you still hear the rumbling sound so far away?"

“......”

Ying Jun was quite speechless, he also knew that meteors were debris, dust, meteorites and the like in the universe, and they would basically be burned up after entering the atmosphere, and there were very few meteorites that could fall to the ground, of course, they were picked up, but this probability is estimated to be comparable to buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot.

At half past two in the morning, the peak of the meteor shower has passed, Ying Jun beckoned his brother to prepare to go home, he saw everything he should see, and what he didn't see was just that, there were many beautiful scenery but you would never be able to finish it.

It's still two hours to drive home, and you have to open a store in the morning to sell goods to make money, and you can only see more beautiful scenery if you have enough money......
