There are traces of the galaxy

The night outside the window was already very deep, and the night sky was so dim that no light could be found, only a few stars appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Li Zhi turned on the phone next to the pillow again, but there was no new call reminder or message on it. He stuffed the phone under the pillow, closed his eyes, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

It seems that there will be no news tonight.He glanced out the window in the dark night, sighed, turned up abruptly, took his clothes and coat casually, and walked out the door.

Even though it is summer, the night is still a bit chilly, especially on the wet and cold mountain where it has just rained. I don't know if my father's rheumatism will come back again.

The road leading to the mountain is wet and slippery, and the stone steps that have been stepped on by pedestrians are full of puddles of water. Even if you walk carefully, you will get muddy.

Not long after walking, he heard a rustling in front of him, like the sound of some kind of animal walking through the bushes, Li Zhi couldn't help but stop and became vigilant.There are not only people and monkeys in this mountain, but also wolves.The light from the strong flashlight was extremely dazzling, and he squinted his eyes, gradually being able to see the figure in front of him clearly.Fortunately, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.It turned out that someone was going down the mountain, and that person was almost leaning against the mountain wall, moving forward step by step, walking very carefully, his legs were long and powerful, and he looked like a young man.

Linchuan Mountain is the highest one among the nearby mountains, with lush forests, gurgling streams at the foot of the mountain, and a layer of clouds and mist shrouded all the year round like a veil, adding a bit of mystery to this place.Due to inconvenient transportation and low development efforts, this place is not as overcrowded as other surrounding tourist attractions, but it is a good place for camping. Many outdoor sports enthusiasts will come here to camp, especially in this season.

"Uncle, is there anyone living around here?" Only a clear male voice was heard asking.

"Uh..." Hearing this address, Li Zhi subconsciously squeezed the corners of the rough cloth. Does this dress look so old?But he didn't correct the address, "Yes, my home is nearby."

Lin Chaosheng was taken aback when he heard Li Zhi's voice. He didn't expect the voice to be so young. He thought the man in front of him, wearing an old-fashioned waterproof jacket with the brim of his hat pressed down so low that he couldn't see his face clearly, was a mountain ranger who lived here all year round. .

"Sorry, I thought you were..."

"It's okay, come with me." Li Zhi interrupted him, without saying anything, turned around, and led the people behind him back to his home along the way he came.This is not the first time that Li Zhi's family has taken in lonely people. During this season, my father patrols the mountains at night, and often picks up those who came to the mountains for "expedition" but did not go down for various reasons.

This child should be camping with friends during the summer vacation, and he got separated at night, and his mobile phone must have died. Children nowadays are too worrying.Li Zhi thought as he walked.

"Are you separated from your friends?" Li Zhi asked casually.

"No, I came by myself."

"That's bold enough."

Someone led the way, and Lin Chaosheng walked no longer as cautiously as before, and even his tone became a lot lighter, "The college entrance examination is over, and I may be a little drifting."

Dare to come here at the National People's Congress at night, it is not ordinary.

"It seems that you did well in the exam," Li Zhi continued to ask, "but why are you running up the mountain so late?"

"It's okay," Lin Chaosheng replied, "Well... I was planning to shoot the Perseid meteor shower, and the view from the mountain is better."

"Oh, I've heard about that too." Li Zhi took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at it. This time period happened to be the rising time of the radiation point.

Every year, there are several meteor showers that are large enough to cause a sensation in the media. They first sparked a wave of discussions on the Internet, and then attracted a large number of astronomy and photography enthusiasts to observe in places with high altitudes and low light pollution.Linchuan Mountain is a good place for stargazing. There is not only an observation deck on the top of the mountain that can accommodate hundreds of people, but also a small private observatory that is often open to the outside world.But to Li Zhi, this is not unusual. He has been to observation decks and observatories countless times, and he has seen many meteor showers. To him, this small-scale meteor shower is just a periodic astronomical phenomenon and is considered Just some data recorded.

If it’s raining, why don’t you watch meteor showers? Check out the weather forecast.Li Zhi looked up at the drooping night, and secretly cursed.He didn't even read the weather forecast. This person should be the most amateur kind of astronomer. He might just come here with great interest after seeing forecasts from unreliable media and a few star orbit maps on the Internet.

"I didn't expect the weather forecast to be inaccurate." Li Zhi heard the person behind him say again, his tone a little annoyed.

This is true, the weather in the mountains is changeable, the weather forecast is not necessarily very accurate, and the rain often falls without warning.Sometimes when Li Zhi made enough preparations to go to the top of the mountain to observe, he would encounter weather like this by accident.

Knowing that this was an unexpected situation, no one could predict it, but Li Zhi was still very resistant to this kind of person who caused trouble for the mountain patrol.Dad went out to inspect at night because he was worried that tourists would stay on the mountain in rainy days.

"You live here...?" the person behind asked again.

Li Zhi suppressed his faint impatience, thinking that this person talks a lot, "No need for 'you'."

"Okay, sorry."

It's quite polite, forget it, why do I have the same knowledge as children, so Li Zhinai explained, "I only live here during the summer vacation," and added, "My dad is guarding the mountain."

"arrive."

While talking, the two walked to Li Zhi's house.An exquisite three-story building, located on the hillside.The antique buildings, the cornices and the vermilion lacquer, I don't know which dynasty's architectural style it is imitating.

Lin Chaosheng was surprised at the first sight of the building in front of him. His impression of the place where the residents live in the mountains was still the kind of mud house made of water and mud, or ordinary brick and tile building that he saw on TV.

After entering the room, Li Zhi asked him to sit casually, took out a new quilt from the bedroom, and put it on the sofa: "The guest room is not cleaned up, there are new toiletries in the bathroom cabinet, take a shower, and you will sleep all night Sofa."

"Okay, thank you, brother." Lin Chaosheng responded readily, then bent down to unfold the folded quilt, folded the corners, and laid it flat on the sofa.

Li Zhi smiled lightly: "Yo, I don't call you uncle anymore."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood it," Lin Chaosheng didn't expect him to be quite vindictive, so he apologized and smiled helplessly, and introduced himself: "I haven't told you my name yet, my name is Lin Chaosheng."

Although Li Zhi has always disliked tourists staying at his house for various reasons, he unexpectedly did not feel any disgust towards the boy in front of him, perhaps because he seemed polite and sincere.

He let out an "oh" and blurted out: "The river is full of wind and rain to see the tide?"

After Lin Chaosheng made the simple "bed", he straightened up and looked at Li Zhi who was standing beside him with his arms folded. He didn't expect him to know this line of the poem, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Yes."

"Good name." Li Zhi boasted.

Seeing that he had no intention of exchanging names, Lin Chaosheng wisely didn't ask any further questions. He was thinking about expressing his thanks again when he suddenly heard him say, "Li Zhi."

Lin Chaosheng paused, and asked with interest: "Lychees? Plums?"

"Muzi Li, you know what you know." Li Zhi told him very slowly.

Li Zhi and Lin Chaosheng's Mandarin pronunciation is rare among southerners.It turned out that it was not a problem of pronunciation, Lin Chaosheng was a little bit dumbfounded: "Okay, I will remember, Li Zhi."

Li Zhi nodded, and said in detail: "There is hot water in the kitchen thermos, and if you haven't eaten, there are quick-frozen dumplings in the refrigerator..." I can't think of anything else that I haven't explained. Not paying attention, stuck for a long time, finally took out the phone, "Does your phone still have power, do you want to call home to report that you are safe?"

"Thank you, no need." Lin Chaosheng said politely.

Just what I want.Li Zhi quickly stuffed the phone into his pocket again, turned around and prepared to go out: "Okay, you can rest, I have to go out for a while."

Lin Chaosheng was very surprised: "It's so late to go out? It's not safe, why don't I go with you?" The concern in the words does not seem to be fake, he has just experienced it personally, it is really right to walk alone at night A great test of physical and mental quality.

"No, I'm familiar with this route, it's very safe." Before Lin Chaosheng could say anything, Li Zhi waved his hand, opened the door and walked into the night again.
