Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Crossing
"It's 15 pieces in total."
The convenience store clerk glanced at the things in Song Xinling's hand, pulled a bag for him, and turned his attention to the computer.
Seeing his right hand flying on the keyboard, Song Xinling didn't stop, leaving a hundred-yuan bill and leaving.
Leaving the convenience store, Song Xinling walked on the road to building the city.
At night
The moon hung high in the sky of the fortified city, and the clouds that drifted by from time to time dyed the bright moon with a hazy halo, like a drop of thick ink scattered on rice paper.
"Dad, I might have to go all this way."
He has lived with his father since he was a child, and his father is also very powerful, seizing business opportunities and soaring.
But his father went bankrupt because of a mistake, and when his father was about to make a comeback, he died of a heart attack.
Now his dad is dead, leaving him alone.
Loneliness crept over his heart, and the depression in his heart could only be paralyzed by alcohol.

Song Xinling unscrewed the cap of the bottle and picked up the wine bottle for a burst of cow drink.
Tons tons tons ~
"Whew~"
A bottle of spirits went down to the stomach, which warmed up Song Xinling, who was originally cool.
Unconsciously, Song Xinling walked to the Hongjiang River.
He looked at the Hongjiang River passing through the city in front of him, and the long-accumulated dissatisfaction in his heart was vented.
"Horse-stepping, what other misfortune is there for you."
"!"
He vented his dissatisfaction with the river, and his mood was much better.
"Child, my child!"
"Someone! Help me! ”
A pregnant woman stood by the guardrail by the river, crying out.
At the same time, she also called the police.
"Where is the child?" Song Xinling quickly ran to the pregnant woman and asked in a deep voice.
"I ...... You, there, he just fell under the railing and was swept away by the water. ”
Originally, the pregnant woman was very happy to see Song Xinling, but when she saw that Song Xinling had drunk, she was a little worried that Song Xinling might be in danger when he was drunk to save people.
But Song Xinling didn't care so much, after seeing the child's location clearly, he climbed over the railing and swam past the child.
Because it is August and September, the river becomes very cold at night.
After Song Xinling jumped in, his breath suddenly stagnated.
It was too cold, Song Xinling simply adjusted his breathing and swam over.
He saw that the child was panicking, his hands were flapping the water everywhere, and he was choked on a few mouthfuls of water from time to time.
Song Xinling swam behind the child, holding him from under his armpit with one hand, and paddling the water with the other to maintain balance.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, uncle is here to save you."
The child who was held by Song Xinling struggled less.
"Ahem~Uncle, I'm afraid~"
"Don't be afraid, uncle will take you back."
"Okay, ahem~"
When Song Xinling swam with the child to a dozen meters away from the river bank, Song Xinling found that he had cramps.
"Damn!"
"Come on, I'm cramping!" Song Xinling shouted at the shore with difficulty.
Swimming plus cramps, now he can hold the child and float, it is not easy.
"Dude, hold on a little longer, I'm here."
A man standing on the shore jumped into the river with a thud.
After a while, he came to Song Xinling's side and took the child from him.
"Dude, are you alright?"
"It's okay, it's okay, you go back first."
"Okay, you can keep up!"
"Hmm."
The man who received Song Xinling's reply swam back with the child in his arms.
At this time, there was a burst of exclamation from the shore.
Behind!
That's right, because of cramps, Song Xinling's hands stopped swinging and sank to the bottom of the river.
The man tried to catch him, but he didn't, it happened so suddenly that he didn't react.
Even if he couldn't save it, he couldn't dive with the child in his arms.
And Song Xinling, who was sinking to the bottom of the river, found that he was conscious, but he couldn't control his body, he could only feel that his body was slowly sinking and his consciousness was slowly dissipating.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here."
