Yuzai told Clutie that the sun is just like the stars. Its light can shine on the earth, not because it is bigger than the stars, but because the earth is very close to the sun.
The stars in the sky seem to be within reach, but in fact they are extremely far away. Each of them has a huge mass. Far away, it is much larger than the earth.
"This is not the same story as I know."
Cloutie asked curiously: "Then why can the stars be suspended in the universe and not fall down?"
"What kind of power inlays them on the boundless sky?"
Yu Zai: "They are some invisible and intangible forces, but they really exist."
"When you relax, why can you stand on the ground instead of suspended in the sky?"
"When the golden apple fell, why did it fall to the ground instead of flying into the sky?"
Cloutie let out a light sigh.
"I don't know, I've never thought about this problem."
Yuzai smiled:
"There are many powers that we don't know about in this world. In the vast universe, there are countless shining stars and countless non-luminous stars. The distance between them is not measured by a simple number of steps.
To calculate, it should be calculated in ten years, hundreds, or even thousands of years."
"The distance between one sky and another sky is much farther than the distance from the sky to the earth. They can even be said to be different worlds."
Cloutie's interest was very strong, and it became even more intense when she was playing with the telescope.
She asked Yuzai about the world of Dongtu, and the response she got made her fall into yearning, and even felt unreal and illusory. There are more larger and more vast lands outside this land, and every piece of land has
civilization.
Whether they are backward or advanced, they are always growing vigorously, from tribes to communes, from communes to city-states, from city-states to kingdoms...
The chickens ran out of their backpacks and had a chirping carnival in the sunflower field.
Here, the two of them talked about it from astronomy to geography, and from geography to humanities.
But when it comes to humanities, the sky and the earth are emotionless and thoughtless things. Novel theories can cheer her up, but about humanities and society, the girl doesn't like those boring social systems. She wants to hear
Something more interesting.
For example, a love story.
“Aren’t there any great love stories?”
"I thought the sun was a god who understood love and the human heart."
Yu Zai couldn't help laughing: "Love..."
"I really can't tell you this... You can't understand our poems either. Maybe the only thing that can be said directly is to find the sunflower."
Cloutie became interested: "Are you here to find Sunflower for your wife?"
Yu Zai: "I thought there was no such flower in this land, but now that I have found it, I can go back with peace of mind."
"This is truly a place of wonders."
"I made an appointment with her to go see the sunflower together in a hundred years... But now it won't take a hundred years, this flower will already face the sun, and it will grow in the next hundred years.
Under the everlasting sunshine..."
Cloutie smiled playfully: "Why does it have to be a hundred years?"
Yu Zai: "Because, I think I will still love her as much as I do now in a hundred years."
Cloutie's face suddenly showed a sly and satisfied smile.
Yuzai touched a sunflower:
"Look, although it is small, it carries the love given by the sun."
"The light of the sun will surround this sunflower, and the rest of its life will be spent in brilliance. Each of us is like a sunflower, chasing the sun we long for in our hearts."
After Cloutie listened to Yuzai's story in full, she immediately smiled happily and praised:
"Yeah! You actually still understand it very well."
"I just said that you don't understand love and people's hearts. Now I want to apologize to you."
"The sun sent you to me, but you came here for another woman. This is really unpleasant. When will the light that belongs to me come?"
Her tone gradually became lighter, and her eyes gradually became a little sad and melancholy:
"I wonder when I can meet someone like you, and when can I meet my own Sun God?"
"If I become a sunflower, then I must be the most beautiful one in the flower field."
Yuzai also blessed her: "You will meet your own sun, but you have to keep your eyes open. Some monsters will also disguise themselves as the sun. What they exude is not blazing love, but terrible drought."
Cloutie showed a helpless tone: "Okay, okay, I will definitely keep my eyes open. So, do you suggest that I go out for a walk?"
"To those prosperous tribes? But I have done this before. I did not find the people I expected, but many people cast greedy eyes on me."
"Mortals are greedy, but the people here are not civilized. I envy your land, why don't you take me away too?"
Cloutie seemed to be testing, and Ruzai said: "Okay, if you want to leave here, I have no objection, but my hometown is very far away from here. If you leave here,
If you want to come back again, you will have to go through a long journey.”
Cloutie laughed: "Forget it then, my hometown... Only when you leave it will you feel that it is particularly important."
"If you are willing to marry me, that's fine, but this shouldn't be possible. You should go back early. Your wife is still waiting for you, but please remember this land. This is where the sunflowers bloom.
."
"It's so beautiful. You love your wife so much, but this story of chasing glory must also have my name written on it. Let me think about it, you are the sun god in the distance, and I am singing to the sun god.
Those who sing hymns and give sunflowers as gifts will definitely become a beautiful legend."
"I'm here to sing your praises."
The sound of the lyre rises melodiously, traveling through the dreamland constructed by light and sea.
"I am in this place far away from the human world, waiting for people with good wishes to come here."
"The night is a face, who saw the eyes of the night?"
"Human beings look down at the earth in the dark night. There is light on the leaves, and there is also light on the dewdrops and amber."
"The red bow and arrow shoot miracles."
"Leaving a sun in the sky, a fireball with golden light shining, smearing the mountains and the ground thousands of miles away."
"The sun, what a noble species it is, bathes in the long river of the world."
"This is an Eastern story, about the birth of the sun."
Cloutie's singing voice was melodious and clear, echoing in the sea of sun flowers. She lowered her head slightly:
"The first sun god to come, please don't forget me."
Yu Zai assured her: "Your name will be passed down through the ages, and your name will last forever."
Cloutie smiled: "Your words are so powerful, as if you want to convince me, but can you really be so sure without fear that you will forget my story?"
"After all, I have met some people, not many, but they all have one thing in common, that is... what people care about is that their own wishes are realized, but they don't care who is the person who realizes their wishes."
Yuzai looked at the distant sun:
"Yes, I can reply to you with such certainty that your name will be engraved on it."
"Because in our land, there is something called history books."
"History will not stop its progress because of people's cries, but we have history books, and we will record many things in the past. They are faithful and emotionless. The good and the evil may not be clearly recorded. Some
People who will not be praised in poetry will leave their names in history books."
"History is made up of groups of events, and what makes up a group of events is everyone, no matter they are tall or small, heroes or gods, or nameless beings."
Cloutie asked sincerely: "I won't go to your land because you won't marry me, so will we see each other again in the future?"
Yuzai smiled: "Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again."
"But we are all gods. We can live for a long time. Who can tell whether we will see you in ten years or a hundred years?"
Cloutie's fingers plucked the strings, sending blessings of light to the concubine.
"With my blessing, these flowers will not wither due to cold or drought."
These radiances are immersed in divine power, which is the light of life and can give others the power to eliminate diseases and strengthen the breath of life.
There was a little anticipation and hope in her eyes.
The most valuable thing in a person's life is to meet someone who knows him well.
It's a pity that we can't fall in love.
"So, can we make an agreement?"
She said this:
"Fulfill the original agreement between you and your wife, and return to this place again after a hundred years, in this place where the sunflowers bloom."
"Perhaps then, I will also find the sun in my heart."
