Chapter 1: The Calm Before the Storm

Next Chapter

On the edge of the blue sea, on a beach that few people go to, there is a dilapidated old big ship, in this boat, there lives a 15-year-old girl, the little girl has no name, since the little girl remembers, she lives alone in this boat, every day there will be a hoarse old man, to teach the little girl something, from common sense, to life skills, to literacy, to reason, to business and so on can survive all the knowledge, the old man is like a treasure trove, no matter what can be at your fingertips. The little girl spent her days in quiet study year after year.

This beach is particularly beautiful, the cloudless blue sky is connected to the endless sea, the white glowing sand by the sea, the occasional crab burrowing out of the sand hole and the shells spitting out the water column, the fairyland-like scenery, but unfortunately the little girl can see nothing, her world is only dark and boundless. The little girl had never seen the old man, only heard the voice, and the cycle repeated. The old man spoke regularly for three hours every day, and then left, leaving the rest of the time for the little girl to digest, and regardless of whether the little girl could understand or not, she left after speaking, never answering questions. Because of the arrival of the old man, the little girl's dark world is also very colorful, occasionally fighting in her head, and occasionally showing the four seasons in black and white in her mind. The little girl was content.

One day, the little girl heard a very small cry, so she followed the sound and sat down next to the boy who made the sound, and although the little girl could not see it, she still stared at the boy with her eyes. The two children chatted slowly, the boy told his experience, the boy was born in a very wealthy family, there is a little sister, there are parents who love them, just last month, parents took the little sister to a banquet, there was a car accident on the road, no one was spared, so the boy was raised by his aunt, but the aunt not only occupied their family's property, but these days is discussing how to send him to the orphanage. When the boy heard this, he ran out of the house desperately, and he didn't know how long he had been running, and he came to this beach. The boy asked the girl, "What's your name?" "Uh, uh, my name is Ruyi, I don't have a surname, I've been an orphan since I was a child." Ruyi smiled after speaking, she felt really wise in her heart, she always liked the jade Ruyi that the old man said, so she was called Ruyi, Ruyi smiled again. The young man said, "My name is Jin Feng, and after listening to you, I think I'm quite lucky." Jin Feng stopped crying, and looked at Ruyi quietly, the afterglow of the sun shone on the two people, pulling out two long shadows. Jin Feng helped Ruyi up and slowly sent him home.

Jin Feng admired Ruyi for living so freely alone, and blindness could not stop a kind and tenacious heart. Ruyi felt that Jin Feng was the first person she came into contact with in the real sense, and he had an extraordinary life experience. The two became friends.

After that day, every few days, Jin Feng would come to Ruyi, sometimes bring Ruyi some food and drink, sometimes give Ruyi some toys to play with, and every time he would patiently teach Ruyi how to use it, and even bring Ruyi a book for the blind.

Until one day, that day was the same as usual, the old man came to lecture in the morning, three hours later, the old man usually did not speak and left, today the old man finally said, "Waiting for your fate is coming, child, since you named yourself Ruyi, then I hope you are happy, here is a book, you take it, maybe it will be useful." The old man put down the book and left, and from that day on, the old man was never seen again.

The old man's departure is very sad, the old man is like her relatives, listening to the old man every day, imagining a world that can be seen, which is all she has to live. Although I didn't quite understand the meaning of the old man's last words, it didn't prevent the days from going on like this. The books left by the old man are not thick, or even very thin, but Ruyi can't see them, and he can only touch the books every day and think about the old man.

On the 30th day of the old man's departure, a group of people came to the beach, and if Ruyi could see it, then she must know that this group of people was vicious. Now she can't see, but her hearing is unusually developed, and she can also hear strange things, there are about five people coming, walking quickly, holding heavy objects, galloping. Ruyi thought about it, put the old man's book on his body, and quickly hid it. No one can compare to her familiarity with this place.

The group of people soon came to the broken ship, it was pitch black, even if it was only afternoon outside, but no light came in, a few people took out their mobile phones to illuminate it, and the rest of the people kept turning over something, not caring if the boat was someone else's property. After looking for half an hour, the five people who still found nothing began to be anxious, and one of them said, "Didn't you say that it was here?" "Who knows, the news tells us to go wherever we go, why is there so much nonsense" The other continued, and as soon as they spoke, they woke up Ruyi, who was hiding on the side, and Ruyi moved casually, and planned to sleep for a while. At that moment, the "door" suddenly opens, and Sunset casts a light through the door to shine in. "Ruyi, I'm here," Jin Feng's voice came in. Five adults immediately rushed over, controlled the 16-year-old Jin Feng, tied him to the only piece of wood like a chair, and warned him, "Don't talk, don't blame us for being rude if you want to find something", looked at Jin Feng, who had been tied, and several people began to look for him again.

Ruyi heard all this, she was very anxious, she didn't want to burden her friends, so Ruyi moved to the place where Jin Feng was little by little, in order not to make a sound, she was very careful every time she moved, but the energy of the five people was not here at all, and she didn't expect that there was a person in the house, which made Ruyi move smoothly behind Jin Feng, Ruyi carefully wrote words in the palm of Jin Feng's hand with her fingers, the first time Jin Feng thought it was a mouse, and then Jin Feng laughed, he said, this time, Ruyi never goes out, Why did he come in and not see. Jin Feng, who has experienced a family change, seems to have grown up all of a sudden, he is not afraid of such a scene, and there is some vague excitement. Ruyi slowly untied the rope on Jin Feng's hand. Jin Feng also quietly took Ruyi's hand, Jin Feng took advantage of the absence of the five people's attention, gently squeezed Ruyi's hand, and Ruyi slowly moved with Jin Feng to the place where he was hiding. As soon as the two of them hid, one of the five people found that Jin Feng was gone, "That kid is gone" "How is it possible, I can't get out here." "Stupid, we've been tricked, smashed, there must be someone to hide here." People are like this, at first they came in just to find something, find it and leave, anyway, no one knows who they are, and now they are found and run, they know that they must find people and kill them, there are no cameras here, they will not be found at all, they are smashed everywhere, the dim sunlight comes in, and the old wooden planks can't withstand the smashing of five adults at all. A sharp-eyed man pointed to a hidden crack in the board and said, "Look, there's it."
