I received a bounce from a non-existent player

After an unknown amount of time, I slowly opened my eyes again.

It was pitch black.I stared at the darkness blankly, not knowing where this place was and why I was here.After a long time, the memory came back bit by bit.

I barely moved, but it turned out to be just a slight movement, and my whole body was in pain, and one leg was pressed by a heavy object, so I had to maintain the original lying position.

I pushed aside some not-too-heavy gravel, groped around, and found a flat surface in front of me, probably a large piece of ceiling or something similar, one end was elevated on the speaker, and the other end was crowded on the ground. The smashing left me an angle with the ground, and blocked more collapsed objects by the way.The space is not very large and there is no way out.

earthquake?The last earthquake on our side was decades ago, and how high was the magnitude of the earthquake when the building collapsed like this?

I slowed down, and said with difficulty: "Jiang...heng...?"

No reply.

I panted, coughed twice due to the dust, and was forced to use up all my strength. It took me a long time to call out his name hoarsely again.

"...I'm here." A familiar voice sounded not too far away, but because of too many obstacles, it sounded very vague.

I regained my senses and quickly asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." His voice sounded indescribably short, "What about you?"

"I..." I touched my left thigh, which had always felt wrong, but it turned out to be tingling and sticky.An uneasiness spread immediately.Trembling, I raised the blood-stained hand to my eyes.Although it was so dark here that I couldn't see my fingers, I could still smell a strong smell of blood.

I wanted to move my right leg, but my right leg was already out of control, and I could only feel a faint sense of oppression.

"not late?"

"I... my left leg was injured, and it was bleeding a little," I said with a sore nose, but I tried my best to suppress the panic in my voice, "the right leg was crushed."

"Hurry up and bandage, and remember to press the... wound." I heard him take a shallow breath, "What is... what is pressing your leg?"

"I don't know...it's a little heavy..."

"Wrap up first."

Enduring the pain, I struggled to pull half of the medicine to no avail, so I simply touched a stone with sharp edges, cut off a large piece of cloth, and wrapped it around my leg while gritting my teeth.Two years after the kidney transplant, I was still a little bit anemic, and now I felt powerless, my body was soaked in cold sweat, and I was panting badly.Although the femoral artery should not have been injured, it would not be good to lose any more blood.

After some operations, I was already exhausted, lying on the ground while pressing the wound while adjusting my breathing, fear began to wrap around me.

Shouldn't the struggle with death be over?I endured those treatments that were so painful that I couldn’t remember them, and I also had a kidney transplant... Why did I go around and go to the door of hell?My fate loves to joke with me so much?

so unfair...

I'm clearly living so hard.

"Wrapped up...?" Jiang Heng asked me panting, his voice seemed weaker than before.

"Okay." I hurriedly wiped away my tears, even though he couldn't see it at all.

"Okay...then let's move the things on your lap now."

"Move...!?" I hurriedly said, "If you move it, the things on it will fall down—"

"No... I just touched it. It's just a piece of cement. It's not very big. You can push it. The things on it are not supported by it—" He coughed suddenly when he said this, and I followed Worried.After a while, he said softly, "I...can't help you this time, you have to do it yourself."

Hearing his last words, my tears welled up again, I bit my lip in response, and tried my best to reach out to my legs.The space on this side does not allow me to sit up, so I can only curl down bit by bit with my upper body.When the hand pushed the thing on, the thing was slightly tilted to the other side, and it seemed that it was not very heavy.

It would be much more convenient to use my legs, but my left leg was bleeding and I didn’t dare to move rashly, and my right leg was crushed so I couldn’t feel it, so I could only move it up and down with my hands.

As I was moving, there was a sudden sound from near to far above my head, which frightened me and froze in place.

The calmness that had been forcibly established before collapsed in this instant.All the emotions came overwhelming, and I immediately curled up into a ball and burst into tears.

Jiang Heng comforted me in a low voice: "It's okay... the little looseness on the top is not because of you."

"I can't, I really can't..." I knew that I couldn't waste my energy, but I was still crying out of breath, "There must be something falling down, so what should I do... I can't do it..."

"Listen to me, take a deep breath, and slowly start in one direction..." He panted, "I'll always be with you, don't be afraid."

------------------

After the cement was removed, we were silent for a long time, but we still did not wait for rescue.

I fell into a state of half-consciousness again. It may be that the blood loss is a bit serious, or it may be simply tired. .

Another problem is temperature.The heating gradually spread out from the cracks in the stone, and the outside temperature climbed in little by little.It was night, and I was too cold to shiver.

Sleepy.Sleepy.

I was half asleep and half awake, and it seemed that I had a lot of dreams, the content of which was what happened in the past, very much like the revolving lanterns in other people's mouths.

"A-Heng," my consciousness wandered, I took a bite of my breath, and asked softly, "Am I going to die...?"

"No, don't think about it." His breath was also a little weak, coming vaguely from behind several layers of rocks.

I gently pulled the corners of my lips, listening to my breath becoming shallower and shallower, until finally it became a faint breath lingering on the tip of my nose.

It is a lie to say that I am not afraid of death, but I have not had any troubles until now.I was ready for death a long time ago: there was a time when I fell asleep and could never wake up again; now it was just another long sleep for which I had been prepared.

I feel like I can't hold on anymore.

There was an extremely low rustling sound from Jiang Heng, and then he asked hoarsely: "The wait is over... where do you want to go?"

Where do I want to go?

I opened my eyes slightly, looking at the darkness in front of me with regret, and suddenly thought of the time when I was locked in a box when I was a child.After hours of being trapped in the cold and darkness, my mother lifted me out with an anxious look on her face.

This question dragged my consciousness out of the mud.My eyelids trembled, and I felt hot tears rolling down my temples: "Beach."

When people are unconscious, they will always involuntarily recall all the difficulties.My almost dormant thoughts began to turn again, thinking of the constant TV that night, and thinking of the beach I never dared to approach again.

Perhaps all this was my punishment for escaping reality, trapped by falling rocks, with no escape.

Jiang Heng knew about my parents, so he was silent after hearing this: "Beach?"

"Yeah." I took a trembling breath, "I actually... like to escape from reality."

He didn't answer.

"It's not that I don't like the sea...I like it, but after my parents' incident, I never went there again..." As I spoke, I choked up intermittently, "This time I don't want to...wait , When we go out...let's go...to the beach...to see..."

"Okay." His voice was soft but firm, "Let's go to the sea."

I cried and gasped: "You have to promise me...you must..."

"I promise you."

I breathed disorderly, pursed my lips and nodded desperately.Tears drew near-burn marks on my cold face, reinjecting some warmth into me.

------------------

After an unknown period of time, rescue still did not come.

That tired feeling came back again.I struggled to stay awake, but my strength and consciousness were gradually being withdrawn; in the chaos, my consciousness sank down again.

"It's not too late... don't fall asleep..." I don't know if it's because of my hearing loss, but his voice sounded very weak, "Remember we... are going to see the sea...?"

I wanted to answer him, but I didn't even have the strength to speak.

I won't forget.I always remember the matter with Jiang Heng clearly.Even if I forget, he will remember for me.

The sleepiness is like a mountain torrent.In the end, I was powerless to resist and closed my eyes lightly, thinking about letting me take a rest.Just one click.

It's just an earthquake.I know Jiang Heng won't break his promise.With him there's never anything wrong.We'll hang out together and get on with everything.

If narrow escape is a kind of rebirth, this time, I will not escape again.

We are going to see the sea.
