Getting closer and closer to the black scourge that consumes everything, the more the little boy struggles, the more frightened he becomes!

"Dididi! …… Yes! …… Tick tick! A roar echoed through the room with an alarm clock.

I couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears, a few drops of liquid slipped down the pale cheeks from the corners of Tang Xiaoyi's forehead and eyes, dripped on the blue futon, and leached out a few small flowers.

"Didi Di Di ......"

Shortness of breath and apparently the sound of the alarm in his ears did not allow him to escape the despair and fear of his dreams. It's been a long time since he has experienced that unforgettable scene in his sleep, and in recent years, Tang Xiaoyi has been far away from home, working hard, and just wants to use these to dilute that nightmarish memory.

However, in the past few days, I have encountered incredible things again, although it seems to be a blessing and not a curse now, but this same mysterious and mysterious crossing has intensified the unbelievable tragic memories that I experienced in the past.

The world is so big, the universe is so big, there are no wonders, only those arrogant human beings will be arrogant, forget to have a heart of reverence for the universe, so selfish desires, self-confidence, and ignorance drown out the child's cry to tell the truth, and the child's desire to find out the cause.

Tang Xiaoyi recalled......

Just as the dark vortex was about to consume the young life, the child grabbed the root system of a stout tree with all his might. The giant force tore at him, but he knew that he couldn't let go, even if it was accompanied by the suction of the rocks and debris kept cutting and smashing into the small body that was shaking in mid-air, even if the pain was so severe that the blood did not stop, but he could only insist, out of instinct.

It was as if the pain had lasted for a century, and the force suddenly vanished, and the boy was thrown to the ground with a mid-air shattering. He looked up at the sky, the familiar scorching summer sun baking himself, everything was still so peaceful, quiet as if nothing had happened just now, and his vision was getting blurred more and more......

At night, awakened by sharp pain and the cold in the valley, the cloudy night is surrounded by endless darkness. Pain, grievances, sorrows, coldness, and silent loneliness came over the young life, and the boy was so injured that he could not even speak or cry, perhaps he knew that he was going to die, and in despair he did not struggle again.

Mother, father, and relatives must have been swallowed up by the black whirlpool, and all of them were far away from him, along with the vicious dogs of his hateful neighbors who were chasing after him, and the friends who said that they would go to the county town on the other side of the mountain in a few days to bring him some candy.

It didn't make a difference whether he had his eyes open or closed in the dark, so he still chose to open his eyes with difficulty, because the teacher said in the text that his mother had also supervised him to write silently: I hope that the light will definitely be ahead......

How he longed for the light to appear in front of him, even for a moment.

The faint blue light spots, no matter how faint, fall on the endless night like a beacon of bright moon. The boy smiled, just now, caught a glimpse of it in the dark, tears melted away and blood clots flowed down the corners of his eyes, what the teacher said was true, what his mother said was true, he was too naughty, he shouldn't have forgotten his art class homework, or he should be with them now.

Maybe you're dreaming, maybe you can walk to the light and wake up and see your family! The boy pondered, and became more and more convinced, so he mustered up his last strength, endured the severe pain, and crawled towards the point of light with difficulty by relying on this little hope and faith. At a distance of three or five meters, he seemed to have gone through thousands of miles, and finally reached that bit of blue light, and the feeling of his hand turned out to be a stone, a stone with a faint blue light?

Holding it in his hand, he didn't know whether it was comforting or miraculous, and the boy felt a burst of warmth from the stone in his hand, which seemed to run down the wound on his hand and into his body. After a while, he actually felt that he had some strength, and he held the stone in front of him with difficulty, wanting to take a closer look at this so-called "hope"!

Hallucination? Grunts? No, when the boy picked up the stone and looked at it, there was an extra blue light in his field of vision, in addition to the one in his hand.

"Also...... Yes......! The boy held it in his hand, and his little hand clenched tightly to cover the blue light of the stone in his hand, but there was still a light in the distance.

Crawl towards the light source again.

"Huh?"

Not far from the near light source, the boy seemed to be blocked by a barrier, unable to advance any further.

After staring at him in confusion for a long time, suddenly, the place in front of his vision brightened up a little, and in a trance, a body smaller than himself staggered towards the blue point of light not far from him.

Laboriously picked up the small body of the blue dot of light, and saw that she had found the boy again, and staggered towards him, but when she was about to touch the boy, she paused suddenly, sat down on the ground, and the blue light in her hand fell to the side.

When I got closer, I could see the small body in front of me clearly, a one- or two-year-old baby girl, although I couldn't hear it, I could see that she was crying very much, and she must have crashed into the transparent barrier in front of her.

The boy endured the pain and frequently raised the stone in his hand, using the light of the stone in his hand to comfort her, the little girl sat on the ground and sobbed for a while, and finally her eyes were attracted by the boy and she quieted down. After suffering the loss just now, the little girl groped and slowly approached the boy again, touched the culprit just now, and slapped her pink little palm to retaliate against the transparent barrier that blocked the boy and herself.

Seeing the girl open and close her small mouth, she knew that she was speaking to herself, but the boy must not be able to hear, so he had to reluctantly lean closer, put his hand on the transparent barrier, and the girl's palm together, although there was an impenetrable barrier between them, and they could not feel each other's body temperature, but this action comforted each other's panicked hearts.

Slowly, the girl was also tired, and fell down next to the boy, both of them confirmed, the position and direction of their hands were together, their eyes were facing each other, and the two villains stared at each other, the same loneliness and helplessness, for a long time, until they could no longer resist the invasion of sleepiness, and finally they both fell asleep.

Two days later, in the early morning.

The boy cleared up in the shaking, and he was found by fighters from nearby garrison units. Just three days ago, an "earthquake landslide" occurred in the mountainous areas of western Sichuan, and Longquan Village was buried by the surrounding mountains in the disaster, because the terrain was rugged, and the mountain roads were seriously damaged. After some search and rescue, the only survivor was found.

"Is the kid okay!"

"Report to the company commander, he just has multiple soft tissue contusions and some scratches on his body! All other vital signs are normal! ”

"Okay, take good care of him, and when the expert team arrives, arrange someone to send him out together."

……

"Comrades, there are still many villagers under our feet, digging three feet into the ground, whether it is life or death, I want you to carry our compatriots out!"

"Yes!"

Another day passed, the boy recovered a little, and was able to move a little, and the regiment sat among the tired soldiers.

"What's your name?"

"Tang Xiaoyi! You are? ”

"People's Liberation Army!"

"Thank you!"

"I'm sorry, we haven't been able to save your loved ones yet!"

"They...... Not below! ”

……

"Report, the rescue experts are here!"

"Okay, I'll go to the reception, and you will insist on continuing to dig and see!"

"Yes!"

……

After a while, a quarrel spread throughout the excavation area.

"Why not dig! There are a lot of people down there! ”

"Company commander, there are no signs of life down there."

"That man must be buried in the ground!"

"Company commander, our expert group has measured that there are hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of landslides alone, and your manpower can't dig it up! Let's get out! ”

"But ......"

"Okay, company commander, you and your soldiers have done your best, you can withdraw and rest, and the dead can understand."

"They're not down there!" The little boy struggled to run to the point of contention and shouted.

"What is this?"

"He's the only survivor of this village!"

"Okay, the company commander will take him to evacuate in a while! This is a letter of instruction from your chief! As he spoke, he handed out a piece of paper.

"Hey! Deputy company commander, order the soldiers to assemble in 10 minutes! The company commander reluctantly gave the order.

……

"Report to the company commander, please instruct after the entire seventh company has been assembled!"

"All of them, turn back, take off your hats and pay three minutes of silence to your compatriots who died!"

……

"Let's go, Xiaoyi, I'll take you to town! Don't worry, Uncle will take care of you! The company commander took the boy's hand and said.

"Woooooooooooo ...... "Finally, Qiangzuo's strong heart collapsed and disintegrated after the past few days. With a cry, with the PLA soldiers walking out of the valley.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) was far away for a short time.

"Director, the accurate measurements are out!"

"Report!"

"The depth of the epicenter is 0 meters! Intensity level 8! The coverage is less than 4 kilometers! ”

"What? …… All right! Sure enough, there was a problem! ”

"What about the location of the village?"

"Director...... The place where we stand is in the center of the village! ”

"Nothing?"

"There is no trace of the original Longquan Village found so far!"

"Not a single brick?"

"Nope! However, the kid who was here just now was the only survivor of the village, and he was also in the center of the village when the troops found him! Do you want him back? ”

"Is his medical report still there?"

"Yes, I've got a copy from the medics, and this is for you!"

"Well, it's nothing special, you can send a colleague from the investigation department to keep an eye on him!"

"Yes!"

……

"Xiaoyi, what are you always pinching in your hands?"

"It's a glowing stone!"

"Oh? Show it to me. ”

"That!"

"Yo, it really glows!"

"I say, the other uncles don't believe it!"

"Haha, Uncle Company Commander believes you!"

"So, I said that our village was swept away by black monsters, do you believe it?"

"Of course Uncle believes!"

"Thank you!"

"Hehe, you wait!"

……

"Come on, I'll put it on for you!"

I don't know where the company commander found a piece of military string, tied up the small blue stone, made a pendant, and hung it on Tang Xiaoyi's chest.
