Chapter 1 Crossing

Next Chapter

There was only room for a bed and a small table in the cramped room, and it was already 4 o'clock in the morning, and the sky outside the window was slightly bright. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The lamp on the small table was extinguished by a slender finger, and in front of the table sat a girl in her twenties, rubbing her sour eyes and closing the book on the table.

It's time to sleep.

Qin Si stood up, moved her sore shoulders, scooped up the vial spray on the bed and sprayed it twice on her face, the faint smell of roses dizzy dizzy, she fell on the bed, although it could be regarded as staying up all night, but her mind was becoming more and more sober, and the stark contrast to the sobriety of her mind was that her dizziness was getting worse and worse, and she felt that the blood vessels in her temples were about to explode.

Qin Si closed his eyes and rubbed his head gently, it was too painful, thinking that he had never been in love at the age of 24, had no savings, had not yet prepared for the graduation defense of his graduate school, and had not yet settled the huge tuition fees for studying abroad for a doctorate...... She felt more and more unable to sleep, maybe she should have worked directly after graduating from undergraduate, and she would not be as poor as she is now.

She has always believed that she is a good girl, she has been industrious and simple since she was a child, she loves her job, respects the old and loves the young, she can not only tolerate bear children but also help her grandmother cross the road, but why is the life of a good girl a little pitiful? Growing up in an orphanage since childhood, she has not been adopted because she is not cute enough, and the annual scholarship will be accepted by the aunt of the orphanage, and finally she has become an adult and went to college, and the high tuition fees have caught her off guard, in order to raise college tuition, graduate school tuition and the cost of going abroad, she has not bought new clothes or eaten meat several times in the past six years, and even the essential skin care products for girls are made according to the book. Fortunately, there is no problem with IQ......

Thinking so, she felt very sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep.

I still remember the work of getting up in two hours to deliver the newspaper. The sky was gradually brightening, and since the early morning there had been some sultry sunlight shining through the small window, and the girl on the bed was pale without a trace of blood, and there was red blood lying out of her nose, and the blood was flowing very fast, and it had already soaked her white sheets.

The early risers of the city stood wearily in front of the mirror, rubbing their eyes and thinking in a daze, I hope I wouldn't die of overwork.

It was a particularly long night's sleep, and it wasn't until the sun stung her eyes that she woke herself from her deep sleep.

It was very hot, very thirsty, and my head didn't hurt anymore, but the bones in my whole body seemed to fall apart. Qin Si didn't want to open her eyes to see the big sun, she knew that she was already late, the salary for delivering the newspaper must be gone, and she also knew that this long sleep was because her body was too tired. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, her nose was hot, and even in this case she could still smell a pungent sour smell, where did such a big sour smell come from?

Moreover, even if you haven't rested for too long, your whole body aches and feels understandable, what is the situation with this throbbing pain in your shoulder? The scorching pain almost seemed to spread from the bones.

The process of opening your eyes is painful, the sunlight is too dazzling, you can feel a burst of dizziness every time you open it, and a large spot of light appears in your mind, densely packed like a snowflake diagram when the TV has no signal.

She covered her eyes, and it was with great difficulty that she was able to adapt to the fragile Hitomito. It's not a bed underneath, it's gray sand!

Qin Si was stunned, she reached out to touch the ground, it was hard and hot, she saw her hands again, slender and craggy, bruised, nails were unhealthy purple-gray, and small wounds spread from her fingertips to her wrists.

It's not her hand, it's not her home.

She wanted to pinch her thigh, but it was probably still in a dream. However, as her right hand was raised, the sharp pain in her right shoulder made her exhale in pain instantly.

Dazed, she looked at the shabby and sour linen clothes on her body, looked at the scarred hands and worn feet, she didn't see her face, but the heat and pain let her know that this body was hurt too much.

"I'm alive, so, where is this?" As far as the eye could see, there was a white expanse everywhere, not snow, but fine sand baked under the blazing sun.

A rolling heat wave swept over in the distance, and the air looked distorted.

It's a desert, empty, hot and dry.

Qin Si was dizzy, he had lived for more than twenty years, and it was the first time he had survived in such a desperate environment.

She hurts too much, but she doesn't want to be sunburned in vain, she hasn't given in for 24 years, and naturally she won't choose to die here. It's better to take one step at a time.

Behind her was a tall rock, and she looked at the sun in the northeast, probably knowing that she was in a desert somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere.

Standing up tremblingly, the stone was very hot, but she could not walk on her own, and moved little by little behind the stone wall, where there was a shade.

The journey of less than 100 meters is almost a century long, and it can be considered to be there.

Qin Si smiled and climbed into the shade of the stone, she lay on the ground gasping for breath, her lungs seemed to be burning. Lick your lips, so thirsty.

What was rare was that she found several plants under the stone wall, with small leaves and a few small white fruits growing on them. Presumably, it was the condensation water on the stones that dripped on the plants at night, so that these small trees could grow. Reaching out and touching the stone wall, sure enough, the stone wall above the plant is smoother, and there will definitely be water flowing down here.

Qin Si was very happy, he reached out and picked the white fruit, he didn't know whether it was poisonous or not, he reached out and touched the blood on his shoulder, broke a fruit and put it on the undried blood water, it was very good, there was no change in the red blood.

She could only roughly know if she would die if she ate this thing through this method, and now it seems that the possibility of death is not very high. I first licked my fingers that were stained with the juice of the fruit, and it had a sweet taste, very similar to the taste of mint. She waited for a while, feeling that the juice had no effect on her body, before carefully peeling off a fruit and putting it in her mouth.

The cool and transparent taste spreads quickly from the mouth to the internal organs, which is very comfortable.

It was like pouring a glass of cold Sprite after running 3,000 meters, and she closed her eyes and felt the cool sensation emanating from her body, as if the hot desert was not so hot. She didn't know what these pearl-like fruits were called, after all, in her previous life, she had only eaten apples, grapes, bananas, and small sand fruits, and the other fruits seemed to be expensive all along.

Leaning against the stone wall and breathing shallowly, there was a loud and distant eagle cry from the sky, and the wind whistled from a long distance, and there were only these sounds in the vast wasteland. She didn't know what this place was, she didn't know why she came to this world, she didn't know who she was in this body - everything in the past was unknown, now she only knew that she would probably die here, without water, without food, so many wild beasts and poisonous insects in the desert, so many eagles and birds of prey in the sky, and wounds all over her body.

How long do you live? I don't know, it won't be long anyway.

Did anyone come to her rescue? I don't know, anyway, I don't see hope now.

Where will it go after death, another world? I don't know, I'm not dead now, so why think about the world after death?

Buddhism and Taoism all say that people have spirits after death, people have nine lifetimes of calamity, three lives and reincarnation, cause and effect are all Zen, and blessings and disasters are all Tao.

She sat on the ground, her thoughts drifting away, but there was self-deprecation in her heart, one life and one death are counted as one life, and now what life is this? It's not the second life, after all.

It seems that such a tragic fate, presumably in the previous life, or in those lives, must have destroyed the entire universe, right?

There are always people who exaggerate that their happiness is because they saved the whole universe in their previous life, but what about themselves? I think it must have destroyed the whole universe in my previous life......

Thinking so stupidly, she sat and fell asleep, her long dirty and withered yellow hair piled on her head, and her thin, scarred body made the sleeping woman look like a corpse that had been dried in the scorching sun and wind.

The wind rose again, and a few camel bells rang in the distant sky, which quickly dissipated.
