Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

"When do you think you will be beautiful?"

"After get off work, sit quietly in the car."

...

The beats with a little electromagnetic noise sounded one after another. The songs hundreds of years ago are still classics. The simple greetings between the man and woman in the song are like a familiar detail in life. It is so ordinary, but people can't help but want to listen to it again.

The world outside the window changes light and dark in the fierce sunlight. It is still that hot summer, the familiar cicada chirping, but the environment is different.

[Z351 station arrived, please get off in order]

The door opened, and the heat wave outside with all kinds of subtle insects and birds chirping passed through the skin, making the girl couldn't help but cover her forehead with her fingers, and then stepped on the pedal and walked down lightly.

Standing under the rusty station sign, Tilan looked up. The sky here was particularly blue, and the wind also felt warm.

[Sixth Era July 9, 1258, Rose Federation-Granso Starfield-G2-3719 (Shiland), 2:45:29 PM]

…

When she set foot on this planet, Tilan thought it would be an extremely ancient world full of ruins and relics, and also thought it might be a sparsely populated and outward-rejecting world, but when she really came here, she found that neither of them was true.

Shiland is said to imitate the pronunciation of an ancient word, and its meaning is probably "childhood" and "past". The city style and architecture here have the atmosphere of ancient times, that is, the ancient earth era before the supernatural power.

"In other words, in that era, there were already such high-rise buildings and buildings on the earth, right?" Tilan asked the tour guide in front of her, wearing a white summer dress and walking in the summer breeze.

"Yes, in fact, the earth at that time was also developing well. The world gradually emerged from ignorance and entered the era of electronic information." The tour guide wore sunglasses and introduced to Tilan while walking.

"Our ancestors lived in such a world."

"Isn't it amazing? After all, such an environment doesn't seem so far away from our current life."

"The Internet spread all over the world, rail transit can be seen everywhere, roadside bus stops, and clean and tidy streets."

"Have you been outside, sir?" the girl asked curiously.

"Yes, it is precisely because I have been outside and know the differences that I am very qualified for this job. If it were another young man, I am afraid he would not be able to tell what is different for a while."

"Everyone has not paid attention to the outside world for a long time." The uncle tour guide stopped.

"Why not go outside and take a look?" The girl asked again.

"Almost every tourist asks this question, and I have given many answers, but it is probably difficult for people outside to understand."

"There are not so many surprises and curiosities in a peaceful life. Everything is good now, so I will not deliberately pursue and experience the outside world where you are."

"Like me, although I have been around for a long time, I finally chose to come back here because here is everything I am familiar with."

The breeze on the roadside blew, bringing some dust and sand, falling on the girl's ankles and insteps. When the cool sandals are particularly comfortable in summer, they can't avoid facing the dust.

...

Walking slowly along the side of the road, as far as the eye can see, there are patches of green grass with yellow flowers. Some of the grass even extends to the road, making the girl feel a slight itch when she walks by.

The air is particularly quiet, with a bright sky, rare birds, and only the occasional sound of the wind, rolling up the long skirt on the side of the leg, whistling in the air.

"Is this the power transmission line?" The girl touched the cement stone pillar on the side of the road curiously.

"Yes, just like you said, it is used to transmit electricity, why not call it a 'telephone pole'." The uncle smiled.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Because what I said is its original name."

...

"Is Miss Lan in high school?"

"No."

"Alas, it seems that I guessed wrong." The tour guide uncle rubbed his hair.

"My daughter looks about the same height as you."

"Well, I was this tall when I was in high school, but I didn't grow any taller later." The girl gently held the sun hat on her head and stood in front of a sea of ​​flowers to look out. It was a wasteland all around, like a colorful area suddenly emerging from a patch of weeds.

"Do you come here often?"

"Yes, almost every guest will be taken here. It's my unique secret as a tour guide, haha."

"Okay, no more jokes. Actually, I loved playing here when I was a kid. Now that I'm a tour guide, I want to introduce this place to others."

"If someone is surprised, I'll be happy too."

"Oh, by the way, there's a special place for taking photos here. I built it by hand. Do you want to come and see it?" The uncle said as he walked into the waist-deep sea of ​​flowers, moving forward step by step, pushing aside the plants and flowers beside him.

"Here it is." He turned around, revealing a simple wooden bench made of wooden strips behind him. The crossbeam was crooked, and the platform above was just enough for one person to stand.

"It's okay. When taking photos, the lower part was blocked by flowers and plants."

"Yeah." Tilan walked over and looked at the trapezoidal wooden bench, which was about the same height as her chest.

"If you need it, I can help you." Seeing the girl stop, the uncle thought she was afraid of heights.

"It shouldn't be difficult." The girl took off her sun hat and stepped lightly on the crooked beam. Before the uncle could react, she stood on the stool.

This position is about a quarter of the way into the sea of ​​flowers. Standing on it and looking around, the sight is no longer blocked by the dense flowers and plants. It's like stepping on a lake composed of flowers and plants of various colors. When the wind blows, the grass leaves below rise and fall, and there is a kind of ripple swaying beauty.

"It's a beautiful place."

"I'm not wrong, haha." The uncle laughed heartily.

...

After taking commemorative photos, Tilan returned to the roadside again and followed the uncle guide in front.

"Feeling tired?"

"Not bad."

"Your physique is surprisingly good."

"The next attraction is 1,200 meters ahead, where there is an amusement park."

"What kind of amusement park is it?"

"It's a playground that both children and adults like."

...

A few minutes later, Tilan stopped in front of the gate of the amusement park. There was an elephant arch painted bright yellow. The facilities inside had no traces of electronic equipment. It was an ancient iron structure, but the surface was painted with rust-proof paint. Some of it fell off and was later repaired. Some obvious color differences can be seen.

Several children sat in a swing car similar to a cradle. With the sound of "squeaking" and "squeaking", the adults pushed the swing car, which rotated around the middle pillar, and the children inside laughed.

It was a very simple entertainment facility, but it was so backward that it had a simple happiness of returning to nature.

"Want to try it?" Seeing Tilan standing here for a long time, the tour guide asked.

"No, sitting in a cradle like a child..." The girl shook her head. Even though she was childish, she felt a little shy.

"Then let's go to the front and take a look."

After that, the two continued to move forward and saw several children running excitedly on the slide, and then sliding down holding the handrails. The curve of the terrazzo slide was particularly smooth.

Further ahead, there were seesaws and vertical single and double bars, which only a few children tried.

Finally, the two stopped under a tall Ferris wheel.

"This is the most important attraction in the amusement park." The tour guide introduced.

"Do you see the small house next to it? It's the engine room, which can operate the diesel engine under the Ferris wheel and make the whole Ferris wheel turn slowly."

"In a while, at 4 pm when it's not so hot, someone will come with the key to start it and keep turning until the sun sets."

After waiting for a while, Tilan saw a staff member who was about the same age as the tour guide coming over. He opened the door skillfully. Soon, with a slight sound, the Ferris wheel tens of meters high began to turn slowly.

"Ah, the big iron wheel is moving, I want to play."

"I want to play too."

Several children put down their toys and facilities, trotted over, and squeezed on the platform for boarding the Ferris wheel.

"Let these little guys go, I'll get you a quiet single room later." The uncle next to him suggested helplessly.

"It's okay."

Just like that, Tilan stood under the Ferris wheel, watching the children happily sit in under the guidance of adults, and then the iron door closed, and with the Ferris wheel, it was pulled up slowly, and then rotated and lifted step by step.

After that, there were finally no children on the stage, and it was her turn.

"Follow me."

The tour guide uncle strode forward, jumped onto the platform, held a slowly descending Ferris wheel basket iron cage, and pulled its bolt open.

Tilan slightly quickened her pace, walked over, held the door frame, and lowered her head to sit in.

Soon the iron door closed again, and with the slight sway of the basket, it continued to take the girl up.

When the position is still relatively low, the feeling is not very deep. As the sight rises step by step, gradually away from the earth, the world slowly becomes clearer as it rises.

In the distant urban settlements, tall buildings stand side by side, reflecting a faint golden light in the setting sun. Vehicles on the road flow back and forth, but no sound can be heard. The higher the sky, the quieter the surroundings become. There are no car horns, no noisy children, only the slight creaking sound of iron gears rotating.

The horizontal chair and the cage under the body are an integrated iron structure. It is a little warm in the afterglow. If you sit for a while, the heat will be transmitted.

It’s not very comfortable. What the uncle said is not right. The girl complained slightly in her heart.

Moreover, Tilan looked at the slightly bulging bubbles on her fingers and the cage, which were covered with dark red rust and peeling anti-rust paint.

With the fingers spread out, the rust is still partially stuck to the palm of the hand. If you don’t wash it with water, it will probably be difficult to clean it.

But she didn't mind it. She held the vertical bar on the side of the cage again, feeling the faint residual heat of the sun, as if it was the temperature of life.

...

After a while, the Ferris wheel turned a circle, the door of the cage opened again, and Tilan walked out with the help of the wheel.

"How is it? Isn't it different?"

"There are some, but you have to take me to the place where I wash my hands first." Tilan opened her left palm, which had a faint trace of red rust.

"Oh, I didn't think about it. Haha, it's okay. Come with me. There is a wash basin here." The uncle rubbed his head and took Tilan to the pool on the side.

After washing her hands, Tilan gently stroked her forehead with her wet fingers, and the coolness brought her a clear mind and comfort.

"Let's go."

She turned around and let the tour guide lead the way again.

"Then we'll go back. Let's go to a restaurant for dinner, and then walk a short distance to take the bus back to the city."

"Yeah."

Along the road under the setting sun, the two strolled to a motel on the side of the road. There are also two restaurants nearby, with many drivers and local residents sitting inside.

The prices shown on the menu board are very affordable. Although the restaurant is a bit noisy, it is also very harmonious. Many of them are acquaintances, greeting each other, and gathering here after get off work, drinking some wine, and ordering a favorite dinner.

"It's quieter here." The tour guide uncle took the girl to the second floor, where the decoration is obviously neater, but there are fewer customers.

Looking at the sign on the side, it's probably because the tables here are charged extra.

"Although it costs 20 yuan more, it will be much more comfortable to blow the evening breeze here." The uncle asked Tilan to sit first, and then went to talk to the boss in the kitchen.

Soon, he came back and sat down in front of the girl.

"It's done. I'll ask the boss to make Miss Lan a dish that he's good at."

"But you haven't asked me what I like yet." Tilan tilted her head slightly.

"It's okay. Just eat it later. If you don't like it, I'll ask the boss to change it." The uncle patted his chest and promised.

The girl no longer insisted on this, but turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

There are no buildings nearby. Large tracts of land are covered with weeds, and a small part is planted with drought-resistant crops. Vehicles come and go on the road from time to time. Occasionally, a driver stops here, buys a boxed dinner, and then returns to the car.

"Will you trade with the outside world?" Tilan thought of this.

"Trade? Oh, I know which one you're talking about. There are still trades with the outside world, such as some high-tech guys, but most civilian products are produced by companies on the planet."

"Everyone is nostalgic. In the past, there were big companies trying to open up the market here, but the results were not good, so they simply gave up later."

"When I was a child, I liked to use orange soap. At that time, I thought it was a world-famous brand because it could be bought everywhere, but when I went to other star regions, I found out that this was a brand unique to Shilandi."

"Most other products are the same. A planet is very large, with billions of people living here, enough to support a very self-consistent system."

"In fact, I don't reject the use of some new brands, but the habits I developed since childhood have been formed, and local brands are also very friendly. Many of them have been products for several generations. Just like the orange soap I mentioned, my grandfather's grandfather used this brand. Since it has not had any problems for so many years and has always been safe, why change it?"

The tour guide talked about life, and occasionally Tilan asked a question or two, until dinner was served.

"Crispy swan, cold silver mushroom soup, and lotus leaf steamed rice."

Three dishes were placed on the table, colorful and delicious. Just as the tour guide said, it was indeed a dinner that would not disappoint people.

Tasting this delicious dinner that was just made, the girl gradually integrated into this world full of fireworks.

"When do you feel that you will be very relaxed?"

"In the evening, watching the sun slowly set."

...

In the player in the corner of the restaurant, the voice of the man and woman singing in the song once again turned.
