Whoa......

Li Xing waited with both hands under the open faucet, held a touch of water and poured it directly on his face, and the cold stimulation suddenly spread from his face to his brain, which made him feel a little sluggish because he had just come out of a nap.

After rubbing his facial muscles vigorously, he took the white towel on the shelf next to him and soaked it in water and wrung it out, and after wiping his face dry, he pushed open the door and walked out of the bathroom.

Outside the bathroom is a small room, or a ward, with three iron frame beds side by side in the room, which seems to have been weathered and aged because of age, and the bed frame that was originally painted with white paint has already peeled off in many places, revealing rusty marks below.

The white walls around the room had long since faded and turned into a slightly dull yellow, and the wall by the window should have been due to the rain, and even covered with a large area of black, which was very dazzling.

Looking out from the window, there are all kinds of seriously aging buildings, and the whole hospital reveals a late aging atmosphere, which makes Li Xing feel like he is at the end of the last century in a documentary every time he sees this scene.

"In Xia Kingdom, it seems that it was only ten years ago in my impression, and the dilapidated hospital in my hometown before reconstruction was in this style, but now I can't see it at all...... In order to pick up some medical expenses, the company was able to find such an old antique ......" Li Xing, who was standing by the window, had nothing to do, looking up at the gray sky and thinking wildly.

At this time, Li Xing was not in the country, but in the Bingtian Federation, a huge country located in the north of the Xia Kingdom, bordering the Xia Kingdom, and having a significant influence in the whole world.

And Li Xing came to this country to ...... Move bricks.

In Xia Guo, the nineteen-year-old Li Xing should have been in college, but in fact he was indeed a college student, although it was just an ordinary second book.

It's July, it's the summer vacation, and if it had been this time three years ago, Li Xing might have been like other people his age, sitting in an air-conditioned room playing games, or hanging out with friends, etc.

But all this changed on the day his father's bad news came two years ago - Li Xing's father accidentally fell from a tall building on the construction site and died on the spot.

After the death in the accident at the construction site, not only were the bones not recovered, but there was not even a little compensation.

Because his father fell to his death at the construction site of the Bingtia Federation, and held a tourist visa that was easier to handle, not a work visa, the contractor said that the construction site refused to compensate, even if it was useless to file a lawsuit, he took tens of thousands of yuan and stuffed it to Li Xing's mother.

After the sudden death of his father, who was the most important pillar of the family, the family instantly became difficult, Li Xing's mother was just an ordinary worker in a garment factory, and after the monthly salary was removed from the family's expenses, there was not much left, and the tuition fees of Li Xing's brothers and sisters could not be supported at all.

Li Xing went to college in a different place, and it is needless to say that the expenses are large, and the seventeen-year-old sister Li Keran was specially recruited by a noble private school in the city because of her outstanding grades.

Originally, Li Xing thought that his grades were not good, so he might as well drop out of school and go to work to reduce the burden on his family, but he was sternly vetoed by his mother.

Later, he thought about working in the cold and summer, which his mother did not object to after all, after all, the family was indeed much more difficult. Then Li Xing found a co-worker who used to work with his father, and at the age of seventeen, he embarked on the road of moving bricks.

As for why you chose to move bricks...... It's because there is enough money and the threshold is low enough. After a vacation, at least his tuition for two semesters is more than enough, plus he usually works part-time at school to save food and food, and he has not touched a penny at home at all when he goes to college, and he can send some surplus money home.

The wages abroad are much higher than those in China, for example, in Bingtia, it is almost about 1.5 times to 2 times that of China, and even small workers can earn more than 300 when counting three hours of overtime pay a day, and at least 500 for large workers.

That's why nineteen-year-old Li Xing chose to follow the team to a foreign country this summer vacation.

As a result, I didn't expect to be in the hospital because of the water and soil adaptation for a week, so I was planted in the hospital, but fortunately, if it wasn't for the contractor who said that not only the medical expenses and construction site are all covered, but also the minimum wage during the hospitalization, Li Xing is estimated to cry to death.

"Xiao Ran should have just come home from his aunt's restaurant at this time......" Li Xing, who was bored, thought of his sister Li Keran, who was also sensible, and she also started working early like Li Xing, helping to serve dishes in the restaurant opened by their aunt's house.

Boom!! A muffled explosion in the sky interrupted Li Xing's thoughts.

He looked up at the sky, and the gloomy sky outside the window began to fall sparse raindrops, and then the rain suddenly became heavier, and a torrential rain suddenly came, and the uneven ground quickly accumulated small puddles, and the sound of rushing rain was in his ears.

On the parking lot below, a blonde beauty with a hot body and a professional OL uniform walked from a car that had just stopped, looking at the pouring rain, cursing something in a foreign Chinese that Li Xing did not understand, and ran to the building quite embarrassed, and her body was soon completely wet, and the wet clothes were tightly attached to her body, showing her bumpy and hot body perfectly.

Li Xing knew that this blonde beauty was Philosa, the secretary of Dean Paige, and she was hot and sexy, and she was the YY object of almost all the men in this hospital.

"Tut-tut, the figure of the Bingtian woman is just a good ......" A slightly obscene familiar voice came from behind Li Xing, and then a middle-aged man wearing a hospital gown with dark skin walked up to Li Xing and stared at Philosa who was running in the rain below.

"Uncle Yu, where did you go just now, why didn't you see you?" Li Xing said casually.

This man is a ward, and he is also a worker on the construction site, named Yu Liang, who just started work because he drank too much in the dormitory the night before and didn't sober up, and fell off a two-meter-high ladder, broke his arm, and has been in the hospital for almost half a month.

In the heavy rain, Florosa quickly ran into the hospital building and disappeared from their sight, Yu Liang retracted his gaze regretfully, and said with a smile: "Just now the boss came from the construction site and brought some fruit for the two of us, I didn't call you when you were sleeping." ”

The boss in Yu Liang's mouth is their contractor Gu Dayong, who specializes in Bing Tia's project, and the workers are all brought by him from China.

Looking in the direction of Yu Liang's finger, a bag of bananas and apples on the cabinet entered Li Xing's sight.

"The boss said, don't worry, recuperate here, and go to the construction site when you are completely recuperated. ”

Li Xing nodded slightly after hearing this, Gu Dayong is generous, he has always taken care of the workers, not as harsh as some contract workers, and will only help the construction company to squeeze the workers.

"Speaking of which, Uncle Yu, when are you going to be discharged from the hospital?" Li Xing suddenly asked.

Yu Liang's arm injury is not serious, it has been almost healed for a long time, I heard him say two days ago that he can be discharged from the hospital in two days, and as soon as he is discharged, Li Xing will be left alone in the entire ward, and there is no one to talk to relieve his boredom, so he asked casually.

"Well, I deliberately probed the boss's tone just now. Seeing Li Xing ask this, a trace of pride flashed on Yu Liang's face, and his eyebrows danced: "I told him that my shoulder still hurts a little when I exert myself, and he asked me to recuperate for a few more days, and I don't think I need to be discharged from the hospital this week." ”

Li Xing was a little speechless, Yu Liang was okay with others, but he was a little lazy, and for him, he could get the lowest basic salary without working every day, and he was already satisfied. He wouldn't have done that himself, and when he was healed, he would go back to the construction site immediately.

He's not here for a tourist.

But that's fine, otherwise I'll stay in this hospital alone, and there will be no one next to me who can speak, and I guess I'll be suffocated.

Bingtia language is not an international lingua franca, those people speak Li Xing can't understand at all, and the only mobile phone that can relieve loneliness, he also did not handle international roaming in order to save money, and calls at home are all to go to the special phone booth on the construction site.

Sit back on the bed and turn on the TV, and finally tune in to an animal world explained in English for a long time, the afternoon time flies by quickly, and in the evening, a bloated aunt pushes the dining cart to bring dinner, after eating and washing, Li Xing, who has a strong sense of sleepiness, goes directly to bed to rest.

............

Dark, dead and cold.

It is like being in the abyss under the sea, without a trace of light or sound, and the whole person is tightly wrapped in a thick ink-like darkness, which makes people almost breathless, and their minds are chaotic and confused, and they just subconsciously stumble forward.

Li Xing's mind was in chaos, unconsciously looking around, his mental state at the moment was quite strange, both awake and trance, like being in an absurd dream, clearly knowing all his actions, but a little uncontrollable.

Whether this is a dream or not, Li Xing himself can't be sure.

For it was not the first time he had been here, it had been since about a year ago, and when he fell asleep at night, he would occasionally come to this place, a dark and empty unknown place, like a lonely ghost, wandering in it unconsciously until the sun rose the next day.

And when he woke up, he could remember all the details more clearly, which was completely different from those ordinary dreams that basically lost their impression after waking up.

Because of this, Li Xing also read a lot of books about dreams, and even found a psychiatrist for help, but he couldn't explain this phenomenon, but as he experienced more, some of the original fears gradually disappeared, and he treated this place as if it were a dream.

But what has made Li Xing strange recently is that I don't know why, originally Li Xing only occasionally fell into this dream, but since he came to Bingtia and was admitted to the hospital, he has fallen into this place every night.

And as the days passed, this strange dreamland, which he was already very familiar with, also changed dramatically.

Originally, the dream was just a dim and desolate plain, and it has not changed, but during this time, the darkness shrouded in the dream has become more and more intense, and the feeling of dead silence has become more and more intense, and tonight it is completely wrapped in darkness, dead silence and cold.

Unconsciously moving forward, I don't know how long I walked.

Suddenly, in the distance ahead, a faint reddish light appeared in Li Xing's line of sight, like the horizon of the rising sun at dawn.

"That's ...... Light?"

Li Xing stopped and looked ahead a little blankly.

Somehow, that red light always gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

He squinted, just as he was about to see a little clearer.

Laugh at!!

The narrow and subtle red line suddenly spread upward, turning into a piece of blood light that covered the sky, and in the center of the endless blood light, a huge and terrifying vertical pupil stared at Li Xing!

It's a giant blood-colored one-eyed!

The moment the terrifying bloody eyes opened, Li Xing's brain exploded with a loud bang, and a terrifying sharp pain spread all over his body, as if his entire soul had been completely torn apart, and he let out a terrible roar of pain.

............

"Ah......h

In the dark ward, Li Xing sat up from the bed suddenly, the clothes on his body were completely wet with sweat, his face was hideously twisted, full of pain and horror that had not yet dissipated, and his body was still trembling.

After a sharp gasp, he slowly relaxed.

When the pain was relieved and he was about to recall what had just happened, Li Xing felt a sharp pain in his mind, his face turned white suddenly, and he couldn't help but hug his head.

After a while, although his mind was still groggy, it no longer hurt, and Li Xing's face was still ugly.

Because at the moment his mind was blank, he had no memory of what had just happened, and he didn't know what had happened, as if someone had erased it with an eraser.

"It's getting more and more abnormal......" Li Xing muttered to himself with an embarrassed face, and he lay back on the bed in a tired state, trying to recall everything that had just happened, but to no avail.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps accompanied by the sound of pushing the hospital bed came from the corridor outside the door, and in the process of approaching, Li Xing was interrupted from his thoughts, and he subconsciously looked at the electronic clock on the wall, and the red numbers on it were beating, showing that it was more than one o'clock in the morning.

"Strange, it's all this time, are there still patients coming in?" Li Xingzheng was surprised, when he heard the door of the room, and then the light in the room was turned on.

Smack!

The dazzling light suddenly turned on, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

Then he squinted his eyes slightly, and saw a strange scene.

Two stout nurses in white uniforms pushed an empty bed to Yu Liang's bed, lifted the sleeping Yu Liang, and moved it onto the empty bed that was pushed in, and then pushed it out directly, closing the light and the door.

And no matter how the two nurses fiddled, Yu Liang didn't even react at all, like a dead corpse, at the mercy of others.

Let Li Xing, who saw this scene, suddenly feel a strange coolness in his heart.

As the room fell into darkness again, Li Xing, who was drowsy in his mind, couldn't control his strong sleepiness and fell asleep again.

(This story takes place in a parallel world...... Among them, Xia is not China, and the Bingtian Federation is not Russia, everyone understands...... )
