Chapter 1071 Tears Like Rain
Chapter 1071 Tears Like Rain
Wei Zhou.
Chen Le is a science fiction writer.
Because Weizhou is the hometown of Blue Star's science fiction, the number of science fiction writers here is more than that of all other types of writers.
but.
Even among Weizhou science fiction writers, Chen Le can be regarded as an upper-middle class.
More than enough.
It is more than enough than the next.
After finishing the novel today, Chen Le checked the group chat as usual, only to see someone chatting about Chukuang in a group of sci-fi writers.
"Chu mad?"
Chen Le suddenly became interested.
After Wei Zhou joined the Blue Star merger, Chen Le read a lot of novels from other continents, covering a wide range of subjects.
He's not one of those old-fashioned types who only read sci-fi because he's a sci-fi writer.
For Chen Le, any work has value and nourishment.
In the process of reading novels from other continents, Chen Le liked nothing more than a novel called "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes".
The author of this novel is Chu Kuang!
So he clicked into the group chat and looked through the chat history.
"interesting."
The corners of Chen Le's mouth curled up slightly.
The Qinzhou writer I like actually tried to create a science fiction novel for the first time!
Maybe I can take this opportunity to chat with this idol, and teach him some experience in writing science fiction!
There is a specialization in the art industry.
After all, he can be regarded as a famous writer in Weizhou science fiction circle.
With that in mind.
Chen Le quickly downloaded the blog.
Every continent has a large online platform on every continent.
After merging for so long, no platform can realize the ambition of unifying Bluestar.
More cases.
Netizens from all continents still prefer to stay on familiar platforms.
After registering a blog account, Chen Le first followed Chu Kuang, and then found a novel called "The Heartbreaker".
"This is the short sci-fi story they were talking about."
With some curiosity and interest, Chen Le clicked on the novel.
First person?
"I" came in the first paragraph, which made Chen Le a little uncomfortable.
Read on.
Chen Le was even more surprised.
This "I" does not seem to be the protagonist?
It is a very bold structure, and ordinary people would not dare to write it like this. It is worthy of being the creator of Sherlock Holmes.
With emotion.
Chen Le continued reading.
The plot gradually takes shape under the outline of the text:
It turns out that the protagonist of the novel is He Xi, a single-parent working family whose mother lost her job.
Fortunately.
He Xi has a high degree of education and a bright future. At the same time, he is extremely smart. He is an out-and-out math genius!
in the novel.
The mother has a lot of pen and ink descriptions.
Although this mother is not educated herself, she is proud of her educated son and cares for her in every possible way.
Just as great as all mothers who love their children deeply in the world.
Like all children in the world, He Xi has a deep love for her mother, but at the same time, she also dislikes her mother's nagging and those who seem to care too much:
put on more clothes……
Don't drink too much...
don't eat out...
I will heat this bowl of soup for you to drink...
Her mother's meticulousness always made He Xi feel long-winded.
Taking advantage of his mother's time to make hot soup, He Xi left home and went to school.
...
【"He Xi." She called in a low voice. Then her eyes quickly searched the room, she didn't see the two sweaters stuffed into the bag, this discovery made her feel a little relieved. At this moment, a sudden burning pain came from his hand, and the bowl containing vermicelli soup fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Xia Qunfang blew her hands, showing a painful expression, which made the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes appear deeper.
Then she went into the kitchen to get the mop.
I stood by the dining table, looked at the vermicelli soup flowing everywhere on the floor, and thought to myself:
This soup is sure to be delicious.
Better than all the delicacies in the world. 】
...
back to school.
He Xi found his mentor.
It turned out that as a mathematical genius, he created a theory, this scientific theory is called "Microcontinuum Theory".
However, this microcontinuum theory is not favored by the instructor.
In fact.
He Xi's mentor didn't even fully understand He Xi's manuscript.
The transformation formulas made in many places confuse him, and there are also many new conceptual things that are quite difficult for him to accept.
In other words.
The microcontinuum theory proposed by He Xi is a completely new set of things, and it cannot be included in any previous system.
...
【"Have you ever thought about what fields the microcontinuum theory might be applied to? I mean, even the most daring imagination." Liu Qing tried his best to soften his voice, although he knew it was useless.
He Xi's whole body was shocked, and his face became pale. "I don't know," he said, and hugged his head.
I saw a drop of water stain on the ground covered with inferior tiles under He Xi's feet. 】
...
Ten years!
He Xi put in countless efforts to prove his own research. He took into account all the smallest details, and the whole theory is now self-consistent without any contradictions.
However, the instructor's question made He Xi burst into tears.
Even He Xi herself didn't know which field this research result could be applied to?
But He Xi didn't give up.
He Xi was only a little short of completing his micro-sequence completely.
...
Is it a story of sticking to yourself and finally succeeding?
While reading the book, Chen Le pondered Chu Kuang's writing intentions.
This is Chen Le's occupational disease.
At this time.
The protagonist He Xi's emotions are in crisis.
It turned out that someone fell in love with He Xi's girlfriend Jiang Xue.
This love rival is called Lao Kang, who opened a computer company outside, and is a successful person by the standards of modern society.
Jiang Xue didn't change her mind.
He Xi felt a sense of crisis.
...
【He Xi silently watched Xia Qunfang busy clearing the dining table, he didn't know how to speak.
"Mom, can you borrow some money for me." He Xi said suddenly, "I want to publish a book."】
...
【Xia Qunfang sat silently, her hands twisting the edge of the greasy apron together. After a while, she walked into the back room, and after a rustling sound, she came out with a passbook and said, "This is the money from the factory to buy out my seniority. I have been talking about it for a long time, and it was only issued half a month ago. Nine hundred and four a year, my twenty-seven years of service is this booklet. Take it to work.” She wanted to say something but didn’t make a sound, and after a while she couldn’t help but add in a low voice: “Tell me Let’s see if we can pay the money a few months later, and it’s a pity to take the current payment now.”]
...
【He Xi took the booklet and walked out without looking at it, "I want to see the money first."
"Wait—" Xia Qunfang suddenly called out.
He Xi turned around strangely and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xia Qunfang looked eagerly at the red leather booklet in He Xi's hand, and continued to twist the hem of the apron with both hands, "I want to see the total again."
"25380, just do the multiplication by yourself." He Xi said angrily, he was in a hurry to leave.
"I see. Let's go." Xia Qunfang said a little embarrassedly, and she also felt that she was too long-winded. 】
...
Seeing this, Chen Le felt a little panicked.
It is impossible for an uneducated mother to understand what her son is studying.
However, when her son spoke, she chose to support him without hesitation.
These words may not be called gorgeous.
However, Chen Le was shocked by a simple, slightly sore nose.
...
Money is still not enough.
He Xi decided to borrow money from his mentor Liu Qing.
The instructor wanted to reject this student who, in his opinion, had gone astray but was still on his way.
coincidentally.
At this time, the love rival Lao Kang appeared.
It turned out that Lao Kang was also Liu Qing's student before.
In the words of the instructor:
He Xi and Lao Kang are his most proud students.
What is even more surprising is that Lao Kang is willing to lend money to He Xi.
He Xi agreed.
For micro-sequential releases.
Even if this person is his rival in love.
It's just that He Xi didn't expect that Lao Kang not only lent him money to publish a book, but also guaranteed Jiang Xue and lent money to Jiang Xue to study abroad.
Jiang Xue asked He Xi's opinion again.
What can He Xi say?
Stop your girlfriend from studying abroad and destroy your girlfriend's future?
Maybe young people are like this, thinking that time and distance can never beat their love.
this moment.
Chen Le has almost foreseen the ending of this couple.
...
He Xi was deeply impressed by the instructor’s words:
Exploration means loneliness.
It's a pity that even the instructor himself forgot to say this sentence.
He Xi bet everything on Wei Lian.
Even if the school does not agree to list the microcontinuum theory as a research topic——
Of course I disagree.
No one in the world thinks this is a useful thing
To this.
He Xi's words were calm and pathetic: "Actually, I know this. Yes, I admit that it is indeed useless. To be honest, I realize this more clearly than anyone else."
say this sentence.
He Xi felt as if something in his heart was shattering bit by bit, into scum, into dust.
I have to finish it.
This is my destiny.
Even self-published.
He Xi embarked on this road without hesitation.
Later, he received a letter from his girlfriend about the complaints and pain in life.
Later, He Xi learned that Lao Kang had given up his local job and went to accompany Jiang Xue.
These still didn't change He Xi's mind.
He is like a gambler, betting all the chips in his hand.
He finally self-published his Microcontinuum Theory.
...
【Xia Qunfang wiped her sweat, turning her head to look at the dozens of bundles of books behind the car from time to time. Each book was thicker than a brick, and each book was divided into three volumes, which filled her with awe. This reminded Xia Qunfang of how she felt facing the textbooks when she was just enlightened more than 40 years ago. At that time, her little heart was full of respect for the people who wrote the textbooks. Think about it, so many people read the same book, and the teacher uses this book to grade the exam papers. Books are the standard, the most amazing thing in the world, and the people who write them are of course even more amazing, and now these books are all written by her son. 】
Mother is happy.
She proudly showed off to her neighbors: "The book published by my Xiaoxi!"
She pointed to the bundles of imperial tomes, feeling extremely happy in her heart, as if she was the happiest today in her life.
Xia Qunfang felt like she was going to faint just from someone's compliments.
Her face was hot, her heart was pounding, and she was full of strength.
She carried dozens of bundles of books upstairs almost by herself.
All diseases such as frozen shoulder and lumbar muscle strain seemed to be cured.
After so many books entered the room, it immediately seemed that the room was too small. Xia Qunfang tirelessly adjusted the position of the furniture, and finally built the books into a square mountain of books. To the title of the book and He Xi's bronzing name.
Xia Qunfang next started to pack the pile of packing materials.
She stopped from time to time, tilted her head to look at the mountain of books, and smiled cheerfully for a while.
Maybe He Xi was a little sad.
He finally lost his girlfriend Jiang Xue.
When Lao Kang went to the airport where Xiaoxue was next to, He Xi looked at Lao Kang's similar height, but suddenly felt like a dwarf.
The instructor was right.
No one is interested in He Xi's research.
The instructor did take a set, handed him four hundred dollars, and left without saying a word.
After his back walked a long way, He Xi saw him shaking his head slightly and throwing the book into the trash can beside the road.
It was Liu Qing's move that really made He Xi realize:
Microcontinuity is indeed a useless thing, not even good enough to take home as a decoration.
The sky seems to have a sweaty passbook flying around.
He Xi seemed to think of his mother's words that day again: "This is the money to buy out my mother's 27 years of service in the factory."
He Xi took a sip of beer and grinned silly.
Twenty-seven years, three hundred and twenty-four months, nine thousand eight hundred and fifty-five days...
This is half my mother's life.
But there is a voice in He Xi's heart saying that the only person in this world you don't have to feel guilty about is your mother.
...
The mountain of books was still shaking in front of He Xi's eyes.
Finally one day.
As soon as He Xi arrived home, her mother happily said that several sets of books had been bought, and they belonged to the xx library.
When Xia Qunfang spoke, she proudly flashed the money in her hand.
However, when He Xi went, the administrator said that this set of books was not listed in the catalog, nor could it be found on the mathematics bookshelf.
He Xi said that it must be there, it must be not registered, please look for it again.
The administrator couldn't help it, so he had to go to the bookshelf to look again, and finally found a set.
At this moment, He Xi felt that he was about to pass out. He breathed in the fragrance of the ink, and gently stroked the surface of the book with trembling hands, as if stroking his own life. Huge tears fell on the title page.
Why is this book in the literature category?
The administrator suddenly grabbed the book and roughly opened the cover, then became annoyed: "This is not our book, it has no seal. That's right, it must have been stuffed in by that crazy woman who broke in yesterday and said she was looking for someone. "
The administrator threw the book on the ground angrily:
"I just said she was crazy, I thought we couldn't find out."
He Xi was dumbfounded.
He didn't know how he got home, as if the whole person fell apart.
As soon as you enter the door.
Xia Qunfang pointed at the ever-shrinking book mountain with a smile on her face and said, "Today, the city library bought two more volumes, as well as Shuguang Middle School and Yuying Primary School..."
He Xi was in a trance.
My mind felt like it was going to explode.
...
Lao Kang came back for a trip.
He Xi went to see the other party.
When talking about how to repay the debt, Lao Kang suddenly sneezed: "The air in Qinzhou is too bad."
Between words.
Lao Kang took out a handkerchief to wipe his nose.
On the handkerchief is a clear river, and there are white snowflakes floating in the sky.
...
【"Old Kang sneezed." He Xi's friend Lao Mai scratched his head and said, "Then He Xi went crazy. I don't understand what happened, anyway, that's what I saw. It's really evil."
"Later." Psychiatrist Liu Kuzhou stared expectantly at the nagging old Mai.
"He Xi rushed over and pinched Lao Kang's nose, telling you to blow it. He even snatched Lao Kang's handkerchief."
Old Mai smiled wryly, "After grabbing it, he put his face on it and kissed over and over again."
Lao Mai shook his head in disgust, "It was covered with sticky snot. After that, he stopped talking, not saying a word. No matter what others say."]
The doctor said it would be difficult to treat.
Lao Mai told Xia Qunfang in a low voice.
But Xia Qunfang didn't hear this sentence.
All her thoughts were on He Xi.
From the moment she saw He Xi, her gaze changed, becoming stable and firm.
He Xi was right in front of her, and her son was right in front of her, which made her feel at ease for no reason.
Her mood was very different from a few minutes ago.
He Xi stopped talking, he pursed his lips tightly, closed his communication with the world, and it seemed that he might not be able to speak in the future.
But what does it matter?
He Xi could not speak when she was born.
In Xia Qunfang's eyes, He Xi is just like when he was a child, so obedient and so quiet that it hurts.
...
He Xi went crazy.
Nobody knows how he got mad.
Perhaps it was because of that handkerchief that became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
See here.
Chen Le was also a little dazed.
This is the last two pages of the story.
However, Chen Le had no idea how this story would end.
It's crazy! ?
Is the protagonist He Xi crazy, or the author Chu Kuang? ?
Why do you write like this?
No hope, no light, no reversal!
He Xi bet her whole life, but ended up going crazy!
Looking at this issue from the perspective of a science fiction writer, Chen Le couldn't understand!
No!
Even if he saw this as a pure reader, Chen Le couldn't understand it at all!
Such a tone of despair!
What's the point of such a story?
Perhaps all meanings will be answered at the end.
Chen Le's fingers trembled inexplicably, and he opened the remaining two pages.
next moment.
suddenly.
Chen Le's eyes were wide open, and his breathing was extremely short!
A huge shock suddenly enveloped his body, he could feel a tingling sensation coming from the depths of his scalp, and goosebumps scrambled out!
...
Heartbroken.
season finale.
[I am He Hongwei.
I haven't seen a single guest lately, despite the feverish intensity of attention surrounding this epoch-making event.
In the past two days, I have been writing a material.
In fact, I just wrote down the names of a few people, together with a brief explanation, but every time I wrote a word, my heart would roll with a long sigh, and when I wrote the name of the last person, I could hardly hold my hand pen.
Now I stand on the highest podium in the scientific community with such a material of less than half a page.
It's hard to say too much about my award-winning projects.
Because I and the laboratory I lead won the award because of the Grand Unified Field Equation.
This is the greatest scientific dream of mankind.
In a sense, it is the ultimate of human cognition...]
I!
it's me!
The first-person perspective in the novel, the ubiquitous "I", has witnessed He Xi's life.
However.
Chen Le has never overly thought about who this "I" is, but only considers it a writing method to present God's perspective.
Now Chen Le understands!
This "I" is He Hongwei from the distant future. With He Xi's "Microcontinuum Theory", he has made epoch-making progress in science and technology!
In order to understand the creation background of "Microcontinuum Theory".
He Hongwei went back to the past through the space-time machine to witness He Xi's life.
And at this moment.
Standing on the highest podium in the future scientific community, he said emotionally: "Without He Xi, the completion of the grand unified theory will be far away."
One hundred and fifty years ago.
He Xi completed the microcontinuum theory independently, and he was a lonely explorer at that time.
One hundred and fifty years later.
This scientific research achievement was carried forward by He Hongwei, and finally led to the birth of the grand unified field theory equation!
on stage.
He Hongwei said emotionally:
"And it is purely because of his mother that the "Micro-Sequence Original" has been preserved to this day, and of course this was not her original intention.
At the beginning, she just wanted to coax her son and relieve him from the pain.
Thinking about it now, she must have faintly realized that tragedy was about to happen with a mother's intuition, and how much she wanted to prevent it from the mother's perspective.
At her level, she didn't even know what was written in it, or what kind of book it was. That's why she secretly put this shining and immortal masterpiece in the library building of an elementary school.
From an outsider's point of view, her behavior would have seemed ridiculous.
But she's just conforming to the whims of a mother.
All she has ever known is that her child is good, and that is what her good child chooses to do.
I don't deny that "Micro-Continuous Originals" was meaningless to He Xi's era, but what I just want to say is that you shouldn't pay too much attention to some things, and you shouldn't ask them to grow beautiful Leaves and flowers come.
Because they are roots.
This is what a mother taught me.
Mothers never ask for anything in return from their children, but please believe that our lovely child will eventually repay his mother. "
in the novel.
He Xi did not speak for the next twenty years.
Doctors said he had completely lost his ability to speak.
But He Hongwei obtained a recording, which was later recorded by the hospital as a medical record before He Xi died.
It was only two days since his mother died.
"We will never know whether this is because He Xi lost his support after his mother passed away, or whether he is crazy, but subconsciously insists on living a little longer than his mother. This may be the only way he can repay his mother." The way, let us listen to it next."
The recording was played on the top podium.
The background sound is very loud and many people are talking.
There appeared to be several doctors present.
"Give up." A deep voice sounded.
"He's hopeless. It's 10:07. Write down the time."
"All right,"
"I'll clean up."
A young voice suddenly rose, "God, the patient is talking, he is talking!"
"impossible!"
The deep voice sounded again: "He hasn't said a word for twenty years, and besides, he can't possibly have the strength to speak!"
but.
The thick voice stopped suddenly.
Like a discovery.
Quiet around.
At this time, a voice that had been corroded by moisture for many years could be heard speaking vigorously.
"Mum—Mom—" the voice murmured somewhat vaguely.
"Mum—Mom—" he called out again, very clearly.
...
He Xi, who had been judged to be in a vegetable state, called her mother vaguely and clearly.
The two main lines running through the whole text, the technological thinking beyond the times and maternal love, have been completely sublimated.
Chen Le burst into tears.
