C1522 Sun-star
C1522 Sun-star
A sweet voice came from the loudspeaker on the train telling everything about the capital city. Some people were listening quietly with interest while others started to prepare their luggage and got off the train.
On a seat close to the window, Sikong Banyu pressed his face against the window slightly. He looked out at the rapidly retreating scenery with a calm and tranquil expression. After discussing with Wu Chen, he suddenly felt enlightened. He gave up his original thought and came back to the capital. This was the starting point for him to come to this world, and it would also be the ending for him.
"Mom, look …" Stars! How can there be stars in broad daylight? " A little boy, who was made of jade and was carrying a man, pointed to the sky and asked curiously.
The cloudless sky was so clear that it made one's heart race. And on this deep blue curtain, a faintly discernible twinkling star hung in the sky. It was dark and obscure, yet it also seemed like a mischievous child of the stars, roaming about mischievously when it should not have appeared.
"Where are the stars? That's the lights of the plane. Look at it all the time. "
"Wah …" Mom is so awesome! Really! Mom, can we go on the plane as well? "
"Alright, alright, alright. When we get to your grandma's house, mom will take you to see the plane."
"No no, I want to fly in the sky. I want to catch birds in the sky."
"Alright, alright, alright …" The mother looked at her child helplessly. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was really lucky that he could think of a way to catch birds in the sky.
While she was blinking, she saw Sikong Banyu looking straight at the sky outside, no … It should be that sun-star that should not have appeared. Ever since she got on the car, the young man sitting opposite to her gave her a strange feeling that made her feel uncomfortable. It was as if there was a pressure on her soul that made her avoid him.
Sikong Banyu looked at the star quietly. It was not the airplane lights like the child's mother said, but the real star. Daylight Stars rarely appeared. Even if they did appear, they would appear together with the moon and it would not be below 4 PM. After all, they only appeared before the human eye due to the reflection of the sun. It was still morning, but it was only ten o'clock.
Sikong Banyu felt that this star looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. However, he couldn't recall where he had seen it before.
"Uncle, do you want to fly too?" The little boy also noticed Sikong Banyu's expression and could not help but ask curiously.
"It's big brother, not uncle, don't disturb big brother." The mother quickly hugged her child and apologized to Sikong Banyu, "I'm sorry, sir. The child is very active and always full of curiosity. Sorry to bother you."
Sikong Banyu came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile. He looked at the little boy and said with a smile, "I don't want to fly, but I think this star is very interesting."
The little boy was puzzled. "Big Brother, didn't Mom say that it wasn't a star?"
Sikong Banyu smiled and said, "The sky is filled with twinkling stars, have you ever seen a firefly? When fireflies fly, they are the stars in the sky. "
"Ah?" Firefly? What is that? Mom... Mom... What is a firefly? " the little boy asked, looking up at his mother.
The mother shook her head helplessly. "Alright, alright, don't ask so much. You can ask grandma when we arrive at her house. She'll tell you. "
After saying that, she looked up at Sikong Banyu, this young man who looked to be in his twenties, seemed to be a college student, but his words and actions revealed a sense of vicissitudes of life, especially that pair of eyes, as if he could see through everything.
"Hello sir, which university are you a student from? Enroll in a university in Beijing? Or did you come to the capital to play? " "Along the way, this person was as silent as a pool of stagnant water, not saying a single word. Sitting there like a stone, not moving at all, his eyes were always looking outside, as if he was deep in thought. That's why she apologized just now, saying that she interrupted Sikong Banyu's thoughts.
Sikong Banyu took a deep breath and didn't answer her. He looked at the strong looking boy and said with a smile, "Fireflies are insects that shine in the night. They always live in the forest, on top of plants, and when night falls, they will fly out in groups, comparable to the twinkling stars and moon."
"Many people know that there are too many things buried in the darkness, and many people are always buried in the darkness. All of them long to see the fireflies in their darkness, but when the sky slightly lightens, they will never see them again. Actually, not many people would be able to react to it. The weak light emitted by the fireflies, when compared to the unreachable starlight, is the most suitable thing for them to pursue. "
At this moment, the train stopped, and the loudspeaker sounded out once again.
"Respected guests, the east station of the capital has arrived. Please take your luggage and get off the train in an orderly manner …"
Sikong Banyu smiled. Looking at the mother who seemed to have understood something, and the little boy who was scratching his head in confusion, he stood up and slowly walked towards the door.
"Mommy …" Mom, why aren't we getting out of the car yet? Did you see all the aunts and uncles get off the car? "
The mother came back to her senses and looked up. The young man was long gone.
"What about your older brother?"
"Get off."
"Huh?" The mother quickly looked out the window, but the familiar figure was nowhere to be seen in the endless stream of people.
"Firefly..." Are you telling me that I should pursue a firefly's flickering? " The mother sighed inwardly. Maybe the speaker didn't mean it and the listener meant it. The reason they came to the capital this time was because of a marriage certificate.
Outside the train station, Sikong Banyu looked at the bustling capital and the sky above the capital with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He remembered the first time he came to the capital, it was from this train station.
