There are traces of the galaxy

It was just dawn when Li Wenjin went out on patrol, and she could still see a small crescent moon hanging in the sky.Lin Chaosheng heard the sound of doors opening and closing and people walking back and forth in the guest room. He felt light and could not sleep deeply. He would wake up easily when he heard a little noise. He glanced at the mobile phone next to the pillow, and it was not yet five o'clock.

It was late last night when Lin Chaosheng and Li Zhi came down from the rooftop. Li Wenjin was sitting in the living room watching TV with his legs crossed. I'm on shift at four o'clock tomorrow," and then ordered Li Zhi to get him some food.

Li Zhi stood there in a daze, and went into the kitchen without saying anything.Li Wenjin turned around and asked Lin Chaosheng if he wanted to eat more. Lin Chaosheng shook his head and said that he had eaten.Li Zhi came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles and saw that Lin Chaosheng was still in the living room, so he remembered that he forgot to tell him that the guest room was packed.

Li Wenjin hurried the two of them back to bed, "I'll do the dishes myself, I'll watch TV for a while, it's getting late, you all go to bed." Li Zhi opened his mouth to say something, hesitated, and finally said, "Then Stay safe" and went back to the room.

Go to sleep a little longer.Just as Lin Chaosheng closed his eyes, he heard the barking of dogs outside again.Li Zhi's family doesn't seem to have a dog, where does the barking sound come from?After much deliberation, he had no idea, the dog barked non-stop, and the cock crowed. He was so disturbed by the noise that he lost sleepiness completely, and wondered why he was not woken up yesterday morning.

He lay on the bed with his eyes open for a while, then rolled over and got out of bed, and opened the door to wash with light movements of his hands and feet.When he came back, he passed by Li Zhi's room, and suddenly heard a "boom" inside, which was very loud, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Lin Chaosheng was startled, approached, raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, "Li Zhi? "

It took about two or three seconds before he heard Li Zhi's voice coming from inside, "Well...it's okay," muffled, with a strong sense of not waking up, "The phone fell on the floor."

Just about to go back to the room, Lin Chaosheng heard the sound of walking in Li Zhi's room, and the door opened with a "squeak".Li Zhi was holding a wooden mop on his feet, and was wearing short-sleeved shorts, revealing his slender and fair arms and legs. His hair was a little messy, and a few strands of hair were slightly curled up.

Lin Chaosheng felt a little sorry, "Did I wake you up?"

"No," Li Zhi yawned and rubbed his eyes, "I didn't sleep well."

Li Zhi had a nightmare, and the dream was full of broken scenes.First, he dreamed of the endless autumn. Li Wenjin fell into the forest full of withered and yellow leaves. The rooftop jumped down, and the black shadow on the ground had no head or tail.

"I'm going to wash up." Li Zhimi walked forward with staring eyes, not looking at the road, and stumbled, but fortunately Lin Chaosheng grabbed his back and didn't fall to the ground.

"Be careful." Lin Chaosheng waited for Li Zhi to stand still before releasing his waist.

"Hmm..." Li Zhi finally came back to his senses, his face pale, "Thank you."

Lin Chaosheng went to the kitchen and picked out the existing ingredients to make breakfast.After the meal was ready, Li Zhi also came out of the bathroom. He seemed to have taken a bath, his body was covered with damp water vapor, his hair was limp, and the tips of his hair were still wet, but his complexion didn't look as bad as before.

When he saw the yam millet porridge and potato omelette on the dining table, he was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lin Chaosheng again, "Did you make it?"

"Otherwise," Lin Chaosheng felt a little funny when he saw Li Zhi was stunned. It was the first time he had seen such a blank expression on Li Zhi's face, "Is it the snail girl?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi rolled his eyes and smiled, "Snail boy."

"It's quite rich." Li Zhi sat down and said again.

"Is this rich?" Lin Chaosheng looked at the simple soup and cakes on the table, and felt that Li Zhi was talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Li Zhi moved his chopsticks, "Yeah, if I'm alone at home, I usually don't eat breakfast." He was too lazy to cook or eat.

After dinner, Lin Chaosheng was ready to go back. Although he refused several times, thinking that it was unnecessary and troublesome, Li Zhi insisted on sending him down the mountain to take a bus at the Panshan Highway Station.

The morning light was faint, and the sun had just emerged for a little bit, and the water on the ground had long since disappeared.

The mountain road was easier to walk than before, and there were no houses or people to be seen around. Lin Chaosheng walked behind Li Zhi and asked, "Is there anyone else living on the mountain besides you?"

"Yes, but there are only a few households, and they live scattered. Most people live at the foot of the mountain." Li Zhi pointed to the southwest and said, "It's over there, but it seems that you can't see it clearly from here. I can see it."

When we arrived at Panshan Highway Station, there was still nearly an hour before the departure time of the first bus.

There is a flower market next to the station. Seeing that it was still early, Li Zhi proposed to take him to visit, and Lin Chaosheng readily agreed.

Different from the desolation on the mountain, this place is very lively, with an endless stream of pedestrians, the sound of hawking and bargaining mixed with the horns of motorcycles and battery cars.

The two walked along the narrow path left in the middle of the flower market. Li Zhi casually introduced to Lin Chaosheng as they walked. This is the largest flower market in Linchuan City, and flower shops in nearby counties will come here to buy flowers and plants.

Some of the sellers on both sides are professional flower growers, with hundreds of acres of flower fields, and some are retail investors.

Li Zhi walked to a booth and stopped.The stall owner was an elderly woman, who stood in front of the tricycle with her back to them and counted the flowers and plants in the car.

"Grandma." Li Zhi called out.

The hunched old man turned around when he heard the sound, his face was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles, and his face was yellow and sickly. When he saw Li Zhi, he became a little radiant, "It's Xiaozhi."

Li Zhiwei bent down, lowered his head and talked to her with a smile: "Grandma came so early today."

The old man chatted with him, telling him what flowers he picked today, and which flowers and plants grew well after it rained.

"Xiaozhi, is this your friend?" The old man noticed the tall man who had been standing behind Li Zhi while talking.

"Yes." Li Zhi replied.

The old man cheerfully praised: "He is also a handsome boy!"

Lin Chaosheng smiled, feeling embarrassed, and then looked at Li Zhi, who glanced into the car and picked up a bunch of flowers, "I'll buy this."

Li Zhi took out his mobile phone and scanned the code posted on the car seat. The old man used to only accept cash, and Li Zhi helped her get this code at the printing shop.

Every time Li Zhi went up or down the mountain, he would come here to buy flowers. The old man refused to accept his money at first, but Li Zhi said that if you don’t accept my money, then I’ll buy it elsewhere, and the old man no longer insisted on not accepting it. He has money.

After buying flowers, the two said goodbye to the old man and returned to the station on the other side of the path.

Lin Chaosheng was a little surprised when he saw Li Zhi paying the money just now, and he waited until now to say: "It's only ten yuan for so much. Rounding up means it's free."

"What kind of rounding are you doing?" Li Zhi held the flowers simply wrapped in foam paper in his hand, turned his head to look at him with a smile, "But the flowers and plants here are really cheap, and it's good to put them in such a big bundle in the city. Dozens."

Lin Chaosheng nodded and asked, "Do you know grandma?" Seeing that he and the old man were very familiar, Lin Chaosheng almost thought that they were his relatives.

"Well," Li Zhi said, "Grandma's wife passed away a long time ago. She lives with her son. Her son is about the same age as my father, and he also guards the mountain. Later, when an accident occurred while patrolling the mountain, it was just... She's left alone." Li Zhi's expression darkened, and he didn't finish his sentence, but Lin Chaosheng already understood what he meant.

But what Li Zhi didn't tell him was that it was four years ago when Grandma's son had an accident, not long after Li Zhi had just come to Chuanshan.

It had only rained in the mountains that day, there was no sun, and the sky was already very dark in the evening. Li Wenjin went on patrol as usual. Li Zhi was worried that it would rain again at night, so he made a phone call and confirmed the location to deliver an umbrella to him.

Walking up the steep mountain road, I saw a person lying quietly in a low-lying mountain pit along the way, with his face facing the ground, a tall adult.At first Li Zhi thought that he slipped and fell by accident, so he called out twice tentatively, but the man remained motionless.

Li Zhi got closer and saw a large amount of blood on the ground.

He had a vague premonition and didn't come any closer. He calmly took out his mobile phone and called Li Wenjin to come over, and called the police. Then he stood under a pine tree next to the mountain pit and waited for someone to come. He didn't realize it when he called. Feel your hands shaking.It seemed that after waiting for a long time, it was dark, and finally heard the sound of sirens in the distance.He saw the police in uniform pulling the cordon, saw Li Wenjin and several mountain patrollers who came with him standing aside with solemn faces, and saw many onlookers coming from the foot of the mountain one after another.

No one dared to inform grandma, but grandma rushed over after hearing the sound.Seeing with her own eyes that her son was carried into the car covered with a layer of white cloth, she was paralyzed on the ground, crying so hard that she couldn't walk, and she barely stood up with the help of two people.

Li Zhi was taken back to make notes. After returning, it took a while before Li Wenjin told him with a serious face that it was not an accident, but a murder.

Grandma's son caught a poacher on a mountain patrol six years ago and sent him to the police station.The man was sentenced to two years in prison for poaching national protected animals. After he got out of the prison, he was so angry that he came back to take revenge on him. He squatted in the mountains for several days, and finally caught the opportunity. , Pushed him into the mountain pit.

After that, for a long time, Li Zhi often dreamed, always dreaming of that night when the moon was very round and bright, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and the sirens were piercing and piercing.

Lin Chaosheng quickly changed the subject and looked at the flower in his hand, "What kind of flower is this?"

The stems are long strips, and the flowers are like tassels, very bright, there are light pink, deep red, and the color is yellow or not, or orange or orange.

"Snapdragon grass," Li Zhi said, "I don't know why it is called a grass even though it is a flower."

"This flower looks so familiar." Lin Chaosheng said.

"Common in flower shops."

Lin Chaosheng observed carefully for a while, "It seems a bit like a goldfish."

Li Zhi laughed, "I really didn't see it." He stretched out his hand, and handed a large bunch of flowers in front of Lin Chaosheng, "I'll give it to you."

Lin Chaosheng was taken aback for a moment.

"Well... Anyway, rounding up means that there is no money, and we don't have any special products here, so let this be a farewell gift." Li Zhi said with a smile.

In fact, there is a market selling Linchuanshan souvenirs not far from the station. The special souvenirs and other things sold there are all wholesaled from the small commodity market.

Lin Chaosheng hurriedly declined, "No, no, no." That's embarrassing.

How can you send a large bunch of flowers directly?Moreover, it is not convenient to take it back like this. After thinking about it, Li Zhi also felt that it was inappropriate, so he said to Lin Chaosheng: "Wait a minute."

There was a flower shop at the outermost part of the flower market. Li Zhi went in and asked the shop owner to wrap a large bunch of flowers in his hand with matte paper and pear paper, and tied a bow with a black ribbon. He paid five yuan for the packing fee.

However, there are too many flowers and it is impossible to wrap them all. There are still some leftovers. Li Zhi can only hold the bouquet in one hand and the remaining flower branches in the other. He shakes the bouquet towards Lin Chaosheng, and the exquisite wrapping paper immediately emits a "squeaky" sound. sound.

It was specially packaged for Lin Chaosheng, who could refuse it, he had to have it if he didn't want it.

The departure time of the first bus was approaching, and the sun finally showed its full face in the gloomy mountains.

Li Zhi stood in the backlight, with an old locust tree behind him, a large area of ​​sunlight shone through the leaves and sprinkled on his shirt, which was orange paint smeared wantonly.

The light was filled with fine particles of dust, but his face was clean, and the corners of his eyes and brows looked like light.

Seeing Lin Chaosheng holding flowers in his arms, standing on the steps of the car door and waving at him, Li Zhiwei squinted his eyes and smiled.

The car started slowly, Lin Chaosheng sat by the window, and looked out at the rolling mountains that were gradually receding, like a green ocean, Li Zhi and the small building had long been hidden in the lush forest.

For the first time, Lin Chaosheng felt nostalgia in his heart. He came here to watch the meteor shower, but he didn't see the meteor shower this time, and he didn't feel any regrets. It was even worse than seeing the once-in-a-century meteor shower. be happy.
