Chapter 4: A Small Tower

Darkness, eternal and unchanging darkness. Zhuang Yichen's consciousness wandered in this boundless darkness, without hunger or cold. Everywhere he looked, it was a deep black, and he couldn't feel anything outside or his body. With all the senses deprived, the passage of time has lost its meaning.

He's been wandering around aimlessly. I don't know how long it was, maybe a hundred years, maybe just a few minutes. Suddenly there was a white point of light in his sight, and the white light was indefinite, shining in the dark and silent space in the distance.

Zhuang Yichen looked at the point of light in the distance, and subconsciously floated there. Slowly getting closer and closer, the source of the glow is becoming clearer and clearer.

It was a small seven-story tower with a simple shape and a high cornice. The entire outside of the small tower was shrouded in a white circle of light, and the soft light pierced the thick darkness and entered Zhuang Yichen's eyes.

At the top of the small tower there is an aqua blue bead, the bead is transparent and flawless, and the light blue seems to be filled with a whole ocean inside, as if it can suck the soul of a person into it. He looked at the round bead, couldn't help but be curious, and his heart moved closer to the bead.

As soon as his mind touched the bead, a sharp pain that tore his soul instantly spread throughout his body. Under the invasion of this severe pain, Zhuang Yichen couldn't help but scream in pain, and suddenly regained consciousness!

"Zhuang Yichen! Are you awake? A familiar voice reached his ears. Before he could figure it out, he heard the voice continue to shout, "Doctor! Doctor! He's awake! ”

Zhuang Yichen opened his eyes with difficulty, and the first thing that caught his eye was a beautiful face, and he was looking at him with a look of surprise at the moment, with a trace of haggard that could not be concealed between his eyebrows.

Zhuang Yichen was stunned for a while, and the broken memories finally came together. He finally recognized that the person in front of him was Lin Xue, and he also remembered that he went to climb the snow mountain and then fell down the crack of the glacier.

"Am I in the hospital?" He said to Lin Xue, there was no moisture in his throat at all, and his voice was rough as if it had been polished with sandpaper.

"Hmmm! It's in the hospital. Do you know? You're finally awake, and you're scaring me to death. Lin Xue's voice revealed a sense of relief and relief.

"Do you want to drink water? I'll pour you a glass of water. Ever since Zhuang Yichen's accident, she has always felt a sense of guilt. In the past few days, I have been taking care of him in the hospital, for fear that he will never wake up again. As she spoke, she picked up the thermos on the table next to her, then poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhuang Yichen's mouth.

After drinking the water, Zhuang Yichen felt a lot better in his throat, and he asked, "How long have I been in a coma?" ”

"You've been lying there for two days and three nights, and you really scared me to death." Lin Xue said with disgust.

"As for the others, everyone is fine."

"As soon as you had an accident, everyone called the rescue team. So everyone else is fine, I'll tell them later, you're awake, they're coming to see you in the afternoon. ”

After hearing that everyone was fine, a stone in Zhuang Yichen's heart also fell to the ground. He thought back to the situation at that time, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, everyone was fine, and although he fell into the crack, he was rescued in time. As soon as he finished saying these words to Lin Xue, the doctor came.

He checked Zhuang Yichen's body, and then said with a smile: "The physical condition is very good, there is no major problem, if there is no problem, you can be discharged directly from the hospital in two days." ”

"You're lucky enough to fall into a crevasse in the glacier and only suffer a little skin injury. Have a good rest, I'll go first, and you can call me anytime if you have any questions. ”

"Thank you, Dr. Li, I'm really sorry for your trouble. Walk slowly~" Lin Xue hurriedly and politely sent the doctor out of the door.

Zhuang Yichen looked at her haggard face, and said the same: "You also go back to rest first, I've troubled you in the past two days." ”

"It's okay, that's how it should be. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fallen. Lin Xue replied in a low voice.

"Hey! How can you be blamed for this. It was my bad luck that the crack was right next to my foot. Besides, I'm not doing well right now! Zhuang Yichen said.

"You haven't had a break for the past few days, okay, you go back and have a good rest, I'll call the nurse if there's something."

Lin Xue thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed. "Well, okay then, you have a good rest by yourself, I'll go back and take a shower and sleep for a while, and then I'll come back with you."

"yes, okay." Zhuang Yichen nodded, smiling happily.

After watching Lin Xue leave, Zhuang Yichen turned his head and looked out the window. The curtains were drawn wide, and the sun was shining outside the window.

This room is on the shady side, just avoiding direct sunlight from entering the room, so the room is bright and soft. Outside the window is a small flower bed, surrounded by a neatly trimmed wall of shrubs, and the verdant green is very eye-catching.

In the center of the flower bed is a wax tree, the verdant branches stretching wantonly, although it is the end of summer, but some new green leaves can still be seen on the branches. Zhuang Yichen looked at a few tender branches that leaned into the windowsill but were blocked by the glass, and his heart was inexplicably full of joy.

The vitality and vigor of life all emanate from these seemingly ordinary scenes. After experiencing this catastrophe but not dying, Zhuang Yichen's heart at this moment is sensitive and soft, and he really feels what a beautiful thing it is to be alive. In this world, except for life and death, everything else is trivial.

He closed his eyes reassuringly, ready for a good night's sleep. But as soon as he closed his eyes, a small tower suddenly appeared in Zhuang Yichen's field of vision, exactly the same as what he had seen in his dark dream when he was unconscious!

He opened his eyes suddenly, wasn't that scene just now a dream? He tried to close his eyes again, but this time nothing appeared. He pondered, could it be a hallucination caused by his health not being well? But that feeling was so real and clear.

Zhuang Yichen carefully recalled the appearance of the small tower, and just when he was thinking about the small tower in his mind, the mysterious small tower appeared again. The small tower was quietly suspended in the dark space in front of him, as if it had never disappeared, and it had always existed.

It turns out that it is so, as long as you concentrate on it, it will appear. Zhuang Yichen suppressed his excitement and wanted to take a closer look at this mysterious little tower. As soon as this thought arose in his mind, the small pagoda was enlarged a hundred times in front of his eyes in an instant, and it became a real pagoda.
