I sat in a chair, the sun shining through the window on my face, I didn't know how I was feeling, I looked at a tin box in my hand, and when I opened it was a booklet. This booklet is a memoir written in my middle age, and I am now in my twilight years, and when I look back on the past, it was like a dream, and I told my story to my family, and they only listened to it as an interesting story.

Flipping through the booklet, the lines of text floated past my eyes.

When I was 25 years old, I went out on a trip and got lost in a big mountain, and it was already dark, so I set up a simple tent in the mountain. I expected this to happen, I didn't feel scared, I planned to stay in the mountains for one night and find a way to go the next day. I have been on this trip for more than a month, I have traveled to many places, when I arrive at a place, I go to climb the mountain during the day, breathe the fresh air in the forest, I love this environment very much, I have long imagined that I can have a small house built in a dense forest, the forest is inhabited only by me, and my friends are small animals in the forest, I have fantasized about this life many times, so I like dense forests and mountains very much, and I will go down the mountain to find a hotel to stay in the evening, as well as food and other necessities for the next day's trip; I don't always go down the mountain, sometimes I stay in the mountains all night, listening to the sounds of the mountains, admiring the night in the mountains, this empty sight and sound intoxicates me, and anyone who has not slept in the mountains can imagine this sight, and all the comfort it brings to our souls. Speaking of which, everyone can also see that I am a person who likes to be alone, and I am also a person when I travel; In fact, I used to be a lively big boy, and I also had a lot of good friends, and at that time, I was as lively as everyone else, and I had an endless yearning for life. When I was in college, I was completely changed because of myself, I became depressed, I didn't finish college, and then I became like to be alone, I started to travel alone, and I have traveled a lot in a few years, I like this way of life very much, I like the breath of nature too much.

It was already dark, I sat in the tent, hung the flashlight above my head, I took out a bag of food to eat, the night in the mountains was quiet, occasionally I heard a few insect calls, through the treetops I could see half of the moon, shining in this world, I sat for a while and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a thunderclap, followed by a few strange sounds, I can't describe the strange sounds, I was suddenly a little scared, my heart began to pound, but after a while, the surroundings became very quiet again, and I could not calm down in the tent. I was just about to open the tent to find out, when the world around me suddenly began to shake, and the sound of "buzzing" and the sudden feeling of suffocation followed by the shaking of the heaven and earth suddenly appeared, and I was in a coma.

When I opened my eyes, it was already light inside the tent and it was already dawning. My head was still a little groggy, and I felt some fear when I thought back to the experience of last night, those unknown strange sounds, and the sudden shaking of the heavens and the earth. At this time, I opened the tent, but the scene surprised me, the mountain forest where I slept last night has disappeared, I am now in a steppe that can not be seen at a glance, the surrounding is surprisingly quiet, except for me and the grassland, there is hardly anything else to see here, I almost thought I was asleep, but I know that I am not dreaming, this is real, I don't know what is going on, I began to become very anxious, I took out the phone to call home, but I can't get through, Then I made another emergency call, but it still didn't work, and I didn't know what to do. I tried again to remember the events of last night, but no matter how I thought about it, I still couldn't figure out what was going on, my legs began to go limp, I couldn't get any energy, I fell to the ground, I just lay down, and I just looked up at the sky all day. So I lay down until the evening, and when I felt like I could exert my strength again, I opened my backpack and took out some water and food to satisfy my hunger. Then I noticed that the moon above me was surprisingly large, and it was a round moon, not half of the moon last night.

The next morning, at dawn, with my backpack on my back, I decided on a direction to walk and see. I feel too passive to stay where I am all the time, I don't have much food left in my backpack, and I can't solve my worst worries about food and water. These questions will haunt me if I stay where I am, and I'm more afraid of the threat of the unknown right now. I comforted myself in my heart that I might have suddenly encountered a landslide and slipped here unintentionally, but after thinking about it, I couldn't figure out why my tent was intact if it was really a landslide, and I myself didn't have any damage to my body at first except for a little dizziness in my head. The first feeling of this endless prairie was emptiness, followed by my own powerlessness against it, and I felt so small that I could not see the direction of the road ahead. I just walked in this prairie, kept walking, and suddenly had an endless sense of loneliness in the process of walking, although I like to be alone, but in this prairie I am extremely eager to see the existence of life, this prairie can not hear any sound, it is too quiet, it is terrible to be quiet. This grassland brought me more than physical exertion, it brought me more spiritual despair, and I had no other way but to keep moving forward.

On the fourth day, I had run out of food and water with me, and although I had only taken in a little food and water at a time, it didn't support me enough to get out of the grassland, it was too big. On the sixth day, I had no strength to walk, my mouth was shriveled and cracked, my legs and feet were weak, I fell on this grassland, black spots began to appear in front of my eyes, my eyes were struggling to open, I wanted to sleep, but the instinct to survive drove me, I began to crawl forward, crawling and crawling I grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into my mouth, I chewed hard, the taste made me sick to my stomach, but I just chewed and swallowed, I shoved one after another into my mouth, tears swirled in my eyes, I threw away everything I could in my tent and bag, and I regret very much that I didn't throw it away in the first place, and I now only have what I think I might need to lighten my load.

The grass and juice swallowed into my stomach finally regained some strength, and I continued to walk forward with difficult steps, as if I heard a long howl coming from a distance.
