When I flew over this skyscraper, I felt fear in my heart for no reason.
It spread from my heart and became more and more out of control.
I felt like I suddenly forgot something and couldn't fly anymore.
At this moment, I am one or two meters high from the top of the building,
Then I really started to fall,
This scared me so much that all the years of fear of heights came out.
I panicked and grabbed the guardrail at the top of the building.
Fortunately, I can still catch it,
When I looked down, my whole hands felt the pressure of my falling body.
I just thought about how, as a person with great magical power, at this moment, I suddenly couldn’t use my magical power.
I grabbed the top of the building, and the cold wind poured into my body from all directions, from my neck to my cuffs, making me so cold that I almost couldn't breathe.
I have to say that being on the cusp of the storm, in the most helpless state, made me feel very high.
What a thrill!
In this pitch-black night sky, on the ground beneath our feet, the yellow and white light of street lamps illuminated the road in various colors.
On this good day of family celebration,
Many foreigners in this relatively small secondary city have returned to their hometowns, which has made it less lively than before.
How I can vividly imagine how cold the environment around that light must be!
It made me wonder for a while: Is there any family waiting for me in this city?
~
It was in this burst of coldness that pierced my bones that I woke up.
I still remember that I had several dreams, one after another in my mind,
When I experienced it personally, it was so wonderful that I wanted to relive it again.
This chill was so strong that my whole body was shaking again and again.
How I want a warm quilt to cover my body and let me curl up in it,
There is cold river water flowing through my ears,
Only now did I see my surroundings clearly. This was a wild forest.
There was a crescent moon outside, falling through several jungle trees onto the leaves and shrubs above me. It was so deep that I couldn't see its original color clearly.
In front of my eyes, a small black insect with many joints and limbs crawled over, but it also stayed on my face.
It’s this thing with so many legs that makes me desperately want to change the status quo.
…
After staying here for five years, Jiahui can go out to play in the yard.
The most important thing for the man's family to let her out is that she gave birth to a son.
But you can't go out at night.
This so-called mother-in-law didn't give her a penny either.
When she went to pick vegetables by the river in her yard, she would often meet a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old.
That young man always lowered his head every time he saw her and timidly glanced at her watering the vegetables in the garden.
She understood that she had grown up in the county and had practiced dancing. Her appearance and temperament were incomparable to those women from the mountains and villages.
She pretended that she didn't know how to fetch water and deliberately swung the bucket in the ditch. After a few times, she couldn't pull it out.
Seeing that the young man was still standing aside, she said softly: "Please help me."
The young man saw her charming big eyes looking towards him and nodded sheepishly. He stepped forward and quickly helped her fill the two buckets with water and brought them to the edge of the garden where she had just watered.
"Thank you, what's your name?"
The young man told her in a muffled voice that his name was: "Hongfeng."
"My name is Jiahui."
Hongfeng said that she knew that Jiahui was bought by Liu Zhuzhu’s family.
Jiahui's heart skipped a beat, and she quietly went to inquire: "Yes, I've been here for so long, and I don't even know what the name of our village is, or which county it is from."
Hongfeng told her: "This is Tugangzi Village, Lanzhong County," and then said that it was far from the highway and told her not to run out. There are mountains all around here. She can't get out without anyone to take her. If she gets lost and dies in the mountains without finding her body, she will be a lonely ghost. '
Jiahui smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, Hongfeng."
After the two people started talking that time, Hongfeng often herded sheep on the hillside not far from Jing's home.
And I often meet her when I go for check-ups at the beginning of the month.
He asked Jiahui: "Where is your family originally from?"
Jiahui told him: "My home is in the Big Blue City on the edge of the East China Sea. You haven't seen the sea yet, right?"
Hongfeng shook his head and told Jiahui that he would go out to work next year.
"Don't you go to school? What's the use of going to school if you don't study?"
"My grandma told me to go out to work and make money, and then buy a wife when I come back."
Jiahui seized the opportunity to educate him: "Buying and selling people is against the law. Why don't you study hard and work hard, and seriously talk to someone who likes you?"
Hongfeng said: "More than half of the wives here are bought. It's so poor here that no one would be willing to marry one without buying a wife."
"But those girls who were bought here are so pitiful. They will never see their parents again. Since this place is poor and you are so young, why don't you live in other cities?"
"For example, our Big Blue City."
"For example, Beijing is the city where I study. There are many job opportunities in big cities. As long as you are willing to endure hardship, you can change your destiny."
Jiahui talked a lot with Hongfeng. She told Hongfeng about the subways in the capital that are well connected in all directions, and the movie theaters where couples go to the right places.
Every time Hong Feng listened, he was fascinated, with a glimmer of longing shining in his dull eyes.
