Chapter 30: The Legless Traverser

The fainting twice in a row made Zhou Yuanzhi suffer, and for him, it was indeed the first time in more than 20 years.

When he woke up again, he no longer wanted to talk, because he felt that no matter what he said, he would not be able to regenerate his legs and restore the healthy and sunny teenager.

He also stopped eating, and just wanted to die as soon as possible, because for a young man who lost his legs, what could he hope for in the future?

Even if the beautiful scenery, beautiful wine, and wealth and freedom are completely meaningless for him, even if from now on, he can go to the peak of life, but he can't recover the function of his legs, and without his legs, what about the peak of life? What is the meaning of life?

Rather than die, he is more afraid of facing a life without hope and meaning.

When the morning sun shines through the window, he does not feel as warm as before, but instead has a certain kind of irritability that he begins to fear the light, and does not even want to see Sasha again.

Yes, how can such a young, beautiful, and energetic girl be happy with him, a disabled person who has lost both legs? What's the point?

Sasha apparently saw through his thoughts, and told him that although his legs could never come back, she still didn't want him to give up, and she was confident to go with him.

Zhou Yuanzhi said angrily: "Are you pitying me? ”

Sasha replied, "Yes, I pity you, but, I prefer you not to give up rather than pity"

Zhou Yuanzhi said: "What if you don't give up? Can my leg be reborn?"

Sasha said: "Your legs can't be reborn, but your people can be reborn, I'm willing to take care of you, it's not your legs, not to mention that I want to take care of you is my personal choice, it doesn't matter if you have legs or not."

Zhou Yuanzhi knew that the reason why she said this was because she wanted him to regain his strength, but there were some comforting words, it was okay not to say it, but it was even more uncomfortable when she said it, and Sasha was obviously aware of this, so she stopped talking, and just took care of him silently and intermittently.

Zhou Yuanzhi knew that no matter what he said, she would not leave, unless she died, or rather, if she did not die, she would have no reason to leave.

So, dying was his best option.

But how easy is it to die? What's more, now he doesn't have the ability to die.

Looking at Sasha, he didn't want to think of his future, but he still couldn't help but say: "Soon, I will die, no one can stop me, Sasha, I have no hope in this life, let alone give you happiness, you go, the farther the better, if there is an afterlife, I will look for you again"

Sasha knew that he was at a loss for words and would no longer answer his words, but, watching him get more and more emaciated, she knew that he was not exactly joking, and if he continued like this, he would really kill himself.

For a situation like Zhou Yuanzhi's, suicide is not easy, but it is not impossible.

Yes, it can't go on like this.

But what can I do, most of the comforting words are lies, I don't need to talk too much about it, empathy, if the person who lost her legs is her, will she have the courage to face it? Maybe he collapsed earlier than he did.

Therefore, she knew that what Zhou Yuanzhi needed at the moment was not comfort, but to restore "the desire and confidence of life", and other than that, all words and help were useless.

She remembered that when she first met Zhou Yuanzhi, she was attracted by what he said about Qin Shi Huang, at that time, he was both talkative and humorous and frank, he always hoped to have an opening, to open the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, to find out, he even believed that the Qin Shi Huang in the imperial mausoleum still exists, when the imperial mausoleum is opened, the world will be able to see the true appearance of Qin Shi Huang, many historical mysteries will be solved, and the history of human civilization will be rewritten.

Because of this, he chose to defend the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, because he did not want the Mausoleum to be destroyed before all the technical preparations were perfected.

When she thought like this, there was a thought that flashed in her mind, that is, her father's "crossing plan", although she did not approve of her father's plan, and always regarded this plan as a dream of the older generation "no hope to realize", or even a meaningless effort, but at this time she hoped that her father's plan could be realized as soon as possible, because these plans may be the only hope to save Zhou Yuanzhi.

So she thought that her father might be able to give Zhou Yuanzhi "hope or motivation to survive", this time she took the initiative to contact her father for the first time in two years, in her impression, her father is not a person who can bring hope to herself, she has never fulfilled her wish from her father in the past ten years, but this time, she hopes that a miracle will appear.

When she contacted her father, he told her that their 'crossing project' had failed eight times, and that the volunteers who had participated in the crossing had died for various reasons, so the project had been halted for two years and that the budget was too low to restart.

Sasha asked, "Is there any other way to restart the crossing plan?" ”

The father was a little strange and asked, "When did you start to be so interested in this plan?" ”

Sasha told Zhou Yuanzhi about it, hoping that her father's "crossing plan" could bring hope to Zhou Yuanzhi.

The father replied, "If you want to plan a restart, you can only convince M Sheng."

Sasha said: "How to convince? ”

The father said: "The right people, only the right people, it is possible for M Sheng Company to restart the crossing plan a few years ago, but now almost no one wants to participate in this plan, because the traveler has to take a very big risk"

Sasha said: "Zhou Yuanzhi may be willing"

Her father finally knew why Sasha was calling her, so he said, "Sasha." Don't worry, I'll be there for you tomorrow, I'll see Zhou Yuanzhi first."

Sasha said: "Dad, maybe only you can save Zhou Yuanzhi"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasha was grateful for her father's arrival, because as an adult, she never asked her father for anything, she had always been an independent girl, but this time, she had nowhere to turn to other than her father, and her father was probably aware of this, so he arrived quickly.

People are so strange to each other, many times, there is no communication, but they can also have a heart, and people who often communicate together often can't see each other's intentions.

When his father arrived, he even brought the contract with him, because he knew that Zhou Yuanzhi would definitely sign it.

And with Zhou Yuanzhi's comprehensive conditions, there is no one more suitable than him to participate in the crossing plan, why? Because Zhou Yuanzhi meets the three conditions of crossing, namely:

1. Despair of this life.

Second, he has excellent military and operational capabilities, although he has lost his legs, but after the successful crossing, he no longer needs the current body, but another body, that is, he is now disabled, but after the crossing, he is likely to be a warrior.

Third, he has a certain amount of historical knowledge, after the crossing, his experience into words or memory, after returning, can restore the situation of the previous dynasties, and even make a great contribution to the future opening of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, after all, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has too many secrets to be excavated, such as the mystery of immortality.

Of course, this is why the country implemented the original intention of the crossing plan, besides, this plan has failed eight times, and if it fails this time, it is likely that his lifelong dream of crossing will not be realized again.

Sasha's father's surname is Zhong, and he is an academician who belongs to the state secrets department, specializing in unknown disciplines, and is known as Dr. Zhong in the industry.

The so-called time travel, for Dr. Zhong, is not a mystery, because there have been successful cases abroad, and its principle is not complicated, many people do not believe that they can travel back to the past, because people come into contact with the word "crossing", which often originates from science fiction, such as waking up, crossing over, which is of course not a fact.

In other words, the real crossing does not have the accident described in the novel, in other words, the crossing not only needs to create a large number of "frequency bands" that conform to that era, but also needs to be adjusted according to the "frequency bands" carried by the traveler himself, and finally the crossing can be realized.

Therefore, the crossing itself is by no means accidental, nor can anyone who wants to cross it, not to mention that the crossing itself consumes a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and it is not something that an individual can bear, that is to say, without these prerequisites, the crossing plan cannot be carried out smoothly at all, let alone crossing.

Dr. Zhong explained the details of the crossing to Zhou Yuanzhi clearly, and said: "After the crossing, everything can only be relied on by yourself, and others can't help if they want to, not to mention whether the crossing can be successful, it is not certain."

Zhou Yuanzhi said: "I am willing to try, and I am willing to give my life for this"

Dr. Chung said: "I understand what you mean, but I still have to tell 'success is in heaven, and it is up to people to make things happen', although many things are very hard, but not all of them can succeed, and the probability of failure is also very high, we have not gone through the experience of success, everything is still in the exploration stage"

For Zhou Yuanzhi, the crossing plan is indeed his best choice, whether it is successful or not.

If there's anything else to worry about, it's Sasha.

Yes, he suddenly thought that he couldn't stand up to her, and even deliberately misunderstood her, but no matter what, losing his legs could not bring her true happiness.

But from Sasha's point of view, in fact, she has to bear more pressure, who wants such a thing to happen to their loved ones?

It was because she loved him that she let him take the risk, and on the other hand, whether the adventure was successful or not, she would lose him forever.

Whether you want it or not, you don't have a choice.

The so-called pain is sometimes not just about losing, but knowing that you are going to lose, but you still have to move forward bravely, like a moth to a fire to make the final struggle, there are too many times in life, it is indeed not easy.

This pain, whether it is Zhou Yuanzhi or Sasha, or for those who have similar experiences, has no choice.

But what can they do?

He wanted to say that he loved her, but he couldn't give her any happiness, let alone love someone, he had to stay by her side, and this was exactly what Zhou Yuanzhi couldn't do.

At this moment, he knew that he owed her too much, and if there was one person in this world who made him feel guilty, it was Sasha.

Although there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, how many people can have such a big change in just a few days like him?

When he looked up at Sasha again, he found that Sasha was stronger than he thought, yes, there is one more or less person in the world, and who really can't live?

He smiled reluctantly, for the first time since he woke up, and he said, "Sasha, thank you"

In fact, for the two of them, talking about "thanks" itself is superfluous, but what can he say besides saying "thanks"?

No, all words are superfluous at this time, and it can even be said that no amount of apology is enough to make up for Sasha's inner wounds, because she is not facing the death of the person she loves the most, but the person she loves the most becoming another unknown.

Perhaps this is the greatest pain in life!

Once the contract is signed, it means that the crossing plan begins.

That is to say, the time that the two of them have been together has begun to enter the countdown stage, that is to say, once the father's side is ready, it is the day they will be separated, although the father did not tell them the specific time, but this kind of waiting day is even more unacceptable, just like a happy day may be hit by an accident at any time, full of apprehension.

Because what should come will always come, and finally one day, my father called and said that he was ready.

Sasha stopped what she was doing, Zhou Yuanzhi looked out the window and said, "I'm gone, I'm gone."

Sasha also said, "No."

Zhou Yuanzhi said again: "You must find someone who loves you more than me"

Sasha said: "Definitely"

Zhou Yuanzhi looked at her and smiled, and Sasha also smiled, it seemed that she was still the same as before.

Zhou Yuanzhi said again: "If I can come back after many years, will you wait for me?" ”

Sasha replied, "No."

Zhou Yuanzhi said: "A word is a certainty"

Sasha also said: "A word is a certainty"

This is their last agreement, don't wait for each other.
