Chapter 20: It's the Wind

Qiqi bit his lip, biting so much that he was about to drip blood. She cheered herself: can't give up, absolutely can't!

The girl swimming behind her suddenly lost her breath, and Qiqi looked back busily, but saw her floating in the water weakly. Qiqi hurriedly turned around and held her up: "Come on!" Qiqi gasped.

The little girl smiled at her. This is the second smile Qiqi saw when he came to this world. The first one was her mother's, and she appeared in her dreams from time to time with a desperate smile. The second is the smile of the little girl in front of her. She smiled brightly, not afraid, and calm.

The little girl grabbed Qiqi's hand and slowly put it on her lips, and the cold lips touched the back of Qiqi's hand, reminding Qiqi of her mother's tear-stained face.

"No, you can." Qiqi doesn't accept such a goodbye, she can't give up! Can't give up on yourself, and you can't give up on her!

Qiqi looked at the black reeds anxiously, and turned back: "Be strong, we will be there soon, we will survive over there, don't sleep!" Please, don't sleep! ”

Qiqi shook the little girl desperately, her eyelids drooped, she was very tired.

Qiqi kicked her feet desperately, in fact, she was already tired, and if it weren't for the strong desire to survive, she couldn't believe that she could swim so far in the water. Even in the previous life, she had only swam a kilometer at most.

Qiqi took the little girl and continued to move forward, I don't know how long it took to swim, when Qiqi felt that his arms were almost unable to lift up, finally, the soles of his feet touched some soft mud. Although it is very little, it gives Qiqi infinite hope.

"Quick, we're almost on shore." Qiqi shouted happily.

After swimming for a short while, he was finally able to touch the bottom of the lake under his feet, and then Qiqi stood still, feeling the first intimate contact with the soil in this world.

The mud at the bottom of the lake had a strong fishy smell, and now, when it reached Qiqi's nose, it became a craving sweeter than any breath. The soft mud wraps Qiqi's little feet, like stepping on clouds, which is both real and ethereal.

The little girl also helped Qiqi to stand up together, and her eyes showed curiosity.

"Don't be afraid, it's mud." Qiqi said: "With the mud, we can step on the shore." ”

The little girl curiously explored the mud with her toes, and laughed silently again when the lake turned up a stream of black muddy water.

Qiqi also smiled.

"Let's go, like me, this leg will move forward first, and then move the other leg when you stand firm." Qiqi half bent down and stretched out his hand to help her move her legs, and after a few steps, the little girl was able to walk crookedly by herself.

The two held hands and continued to walk forward in the unclear moonlight.

The reeds were right in front of them, but for the two of them, who were already exhausted, it was like the edge of the sky. Every step forward, it's like that.

The moon slanted more to the west, and the shadows shone in the reeds, and the leaves rustled as soon as the wind blew.

This is the first time I have heard a voice from nature.

The little girl shuddered, and her body began to curl up involuntarily.

"Don't be afraid, this is the sound of the wind, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, you listen, how nice it is. The wind can blow the water of the lake, it can set off waves, it can blow the leaves, you smell, this is the smell of reed flowers, we are almost there, we are almost safe. Qiqi said excitedly.
