Although she felt a little "heartbroken", as a foodie who loved everything in the world, Su Qingluan still lowered her head and slurped up the last bite of the dragon beard crab roe noodles.
After all, even if you have to run for something, you can run faster if you are a little full, right?
Of course, it was not her job to gather information - Su Qingluan only felt a dark shadow passing by outside the window and then disappeared.
As if sensing the confusion on Su Qingluan's face, Mu Xingzhi glanced outside the door and said, "It's Uncle Song. He went out to find out the situation." After that, he used chopsticks to pick up a piece of crab foot meat from the crab stuffed orange.
Su Qingluan looked back at Mu Xingzhi with some curiosity, only to see that he looked calm, not at all alarmed or confused by the commotion outside. He didn't even glance towards the door.
She had already transformed into a long-necked deer, and even wanted to transform into a flying head to stick her head out to see what was going on. However, there were too many tempting delicacies in front of her. If it were not for something extremely urgent, she really would not be willing to move even an inch!
Just as I was wondering whether I should finish the remaining half bowl of crab stuffed with orange juice, I heard hurried footsteps outside. It was Song Bo who returned, with a look of panic on his face: "Boss, it really is a case of the moon being eaten by a heavenly dog!"
Song Bo said these four words very quickly. At first, Su Qingluan didn't even understand what the four words "天狗食月" meant. Her first reaction was: "Who is October? Why is he a "licking dog"?
Then I thought: Is there a word called "licking dog" in this era?
Then she thought that maybe she had heard it wrong.
Song Bo hurriedly pushed the door open from outside. When he saw Su Qingluan, he paused slightly, and then realized that there was another person present.
Seeing Song Bo's expression, Su Qingluan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you have something to discuss? Do you want me to step aside?" Although her tone was questioning, she had already stepped out of the threshold of the front hall into the night breeze as if she was strolling in the garden.
After all, asking the host to personally "drive away the guests" is probably too difficult a task for people like Song Bo who "know etiquette", right?
So without waiting for the two people opposite to say anything, she walked out and stood in the front yard of Mu Xingzhi's house.
Because the weather has turned cold, the bamboo is no longer that fresh green, but a richer and more lush green - but the last time she brought her sister to see the doctor, even at night, Su Qingluan could feel a touch of green outlined by the moonlight when standing so close.
But today, Su Qingluan really felt what it meant to be "pitch dark when you stretch your hand out in front of you" - the bamboos that were so close to her were now only black shadows, and these shadows were so blurry that they almost seemed to dissolve into the night.
Shouldn't it be?
Su Qingluan was puzzled: It is clearly close to the middle of the moon now, and the weather is clear today, and the wind is not blowing that strongly, it can be said to be "cloudless".
But in such weather, the moon should be shining brightly, so why is the sky so dark?
At this time, the footsteps and noises that had gradually faded away gradually approached again, passing outside the yard, occasionally with shouts and the sound of gongs.
This time, because there was no room blocking the way and it was closer to the path outside the door, Su Qingluan could hear it more clearly. The words were - the moon was eaten by a heavenly dog.
Su Qingluan's mind was moved: Heavenly Dog eclipsing the moon? Isn't this what is called a "lunar eclipse" in modern times?
Thinking of this, she quickly looked up at the sky - and sure enough, the moon, which was originally close to full, was now only half.
The obscured part appeared a dim khaki color, and Su Qingluan knew that this was the shadow cast by the earth on the moon.
"I just don't know whether it is a total lunar eclipse or a partial lunar eclipse." Su Qingluan muttered softly.
She actually wanted to see a total lunar eclipse. She had had several opportunities to observe it in her previous life, but she either missed it because of studying or practicing cooking, or simply didn't have the chance due to bad weather.
Finally, one time she remembered and sat on the balcony waiting eagerly to observe the total lunar eclipse. Unfortunately, she was already seriously ill at that time, and the lunar skirt was not an astronomical phenomenon that would happen overnight. She gathered all her energy and waited and waited, but at some point she suddenly tilted her head and fell asleep.
When Su Qingluan woke up again, the bright moon was hanging in the night sky like a jade plate again, and Su Qingluan in her previous life had missed the last chance to watch the total lunar eclipse.
So this time, although she didn't know whether it was a total lunar eclipse, she prayed silently in her heart that her wish would come true.
There was no sunshine to provide warmth at night, and with the occasional gusts of night wind, Su Qingluan felt a little cold and couldn't help rubbing her hands and stamping her feet.
As the moon sank deeper into the Earth's shadow, the commotion outside seemed to grow louder. Initially, there were only sporadic footsteps and the sound of gongs, but as the sky darkened, the noise grew increasingly cacophonous, and eventually, the sound of firecrackers was added.
Su Qingluan couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The villagers at this time didn't know that the lunar eclipse was just a very common astronomical phenomenon. They must be in fear that "the moon is about to disappear" at this moment.
She didn't think she had any right to laugh at these villagers - fear of the unknown was human nature, and she was just standing on the shoulders of giants, not that she was so extraordinary.
As the overlap between the Earth's shadow and the Moon became higher and higher, Su Qingluan became more and more nervous - one reason was that she was not sure whether it was a total lunar eclipse, and the other reason was that Su Qingluan did not want to miss the maximum eclipse, which is the moment when the overlap between the Earth's shadow and the Moon is the greatest.
So when the moon was only a tiny crescent, Su Qingluan stared at the lunar eclipse with even greater concentration.
At this moment, the noisy and chaotic sounds outside seemed to disappear in an instant, and the night wind blowing on her body no longer made her feel cold. Su Qingluan opened her eyes wide and stared at the moment when the moon was completely hidden in the shadow of the earth.
Generally speaking, when people concentrate on doing something, their reaction ability and perception of the outside world will drop significantly. Su Qingluan is also an ordinary person, so the same is true for her.
At this time, even if a person hears someone talking to him, he will either pretend not to hear and have no reaction to the question itself, or answer the question without thinking and answer completely based on subconsciousness - sometimes he even has no memory of this period when he tries to recall it.
This is the state Su Qingluan is in now.
Therefore, she was completely unaware that Mu Xingzhi, who had been in the room, had quietly come up behind her in his wheelchair and asked in a voice so soft that it could make one fall asleep, "What is Qingluan looking at?"
