NOVEL NEXT Chapter 40
Chapter 41: The scenery that a girl had seen (part 1)
In the gloomy confinement room, the haggard Qin Xingyan was described as hugging her knees, curled up on the slightly damp and moldy straw.
The small room without windows is full of the smell of moldy straw, and the hot temperature is even more unbearable.
Because there is no reference to time, except for the first two days when the phone was still on, Qin Xingyan now has lost the concept of time.
How long did I stay in this gloomy house, one week? Ten days? Still more than a month?
Not far from the straw stack is the iron door of the confinement room. In the small opening under the iron door is a bowl of untouched meals.
The person who looked after her had changed meals several times, but she hadn’t moved her chopsticks for a long time.
Although it hasn’t reached the level of bigu, if she doesn’t eat for a few days, she can still survive.
Qin Xingyan felt that her mind was filled with lead, and she was dizzy and unable to boost her energy.
The meridians of her whole body are also in a state of almost paralysis at this moment, and she can’t extract any magic power.
She was able to dominate the practice world in this era, but now she is no different from an ordinary mortal weak woman.
How long has it been since I felt all kinds of weakness?
Qin Xingyan leaned against the lime used for plastering the wall and peeled off most of it, revealing the red brick wall inside. She stared at an egg-sized light leak on the roof, although it would be troublesome to leak rain on rainy days, but on weekdays it is not. It is the only light source in this room.
“This feeling of weakness…it’s almost the same as it was back then…”
She whispered softly, her thoughts gradually sinking into her memories.
Qin Xingyan is an orphan.
As for whether her parents abandoned her or both of them have passed away, because the time is too long, even Qin Xingyan herself can’t remember.
She was living in the hospital when she started to remember.
At that time, her body was very sick and she had to lie in a hospital bed all day long, and she could not walk for more than half an hour every day.
Whenever she sees other healthy children, she can’t help but think that this world is really unfair.
Why can everyone else have a healthy body, and she has to drag this sickly body and keep lying on the hospital bed?
It may be because without parents, Qin Xingyan matures much earlier than children of the same age.
She knows very well that she is a useless person. Although she can’t remember the name of the disease now, it is undoubtedly something similar to a terminal illness for mortals. No matter how much money is invested, it cannot be cured. Like a bottomless pit, it constantly swallows a lot of money.
She was raised by a charitable organization with a good reputation, but the other party would not invest a lot of money for a terminally ill child-one million can not cure Qin Xingyan, but it can save more unfortunate children.
The illness would devour her life bit by bit, causing her to die of organ failure at the age of six or seven.
If this is the case, then this can only be regarded as the life of an unfortunate child at best, but Qin Xingyan has a decisive difference from others.
——She can see supernatural creatures that ordinary people cannot see with the naked eye.
In this big hospital where life and death are very common, this ability caused her considerable trouble.
“Doctor Chen, this little girl is talking nonsense again.”
“What’s wrong?”
“She said there was a woman at the door with hair hanging down to her feet. I also went to the monitoring side to adjust the video, there was no one at all!”
“Children like to lie like this. You can get her some sleeping pills so that she can fall asleep earlier.”
This kind of dialogue has been staged at the door of Qin Xingyan’s ward more than once. At the beginning, Qin Xingyan didn’t know why there was a woman in white clothes with rough hair hanging down to her feet, and a woman without pupils was smiling strangely in the room, but no one could see it, and she kept saying she was lying.
It wasn’t until later that she vaguely understood that only she could see those things.
Only when it came time, no matter whether it was a nurse or a doctor, she already felt that she was a weird, utterly nagging kid, and in a subtle way, they had already alienated Qin Xingyan.
Why am I being born? Is it really a good thing for me to live in this world? Why am I the only one so unlucky?
The lonely little girl would always sit on the hospital bed alone, staring at the light between the curtains in a daze.
Because her illness is a little sensitive to sunlight, the curtains are always closed in the ward. Even if you want to see the scenery outside, you can only take advantage of rainy days or night time.
Until one night, the little girl was half-dreaming and half-awake when she heard someone knocking on the window.
“Who is it?” The girl couldn’t run to open the curtains because of the drip on her hand. At the same time, she didn’t plan to ring the bell to call the nurse…Anyway, even if she called, they wouldn’t believe her words.
Because her ward is on the fifth floor.
“Hello, my name is Qingmeng.” A voice that didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl came from outside the window: “My friend and I came here to play nearby, but they got separated by accident.”
“I don’t know your friend.” Qin Xingyan turned her head curiously and looked at the window, but it was a pity that the window was still covered by heavy canvas curtains.
“Well, I know.” The outside voice sounded a little frustrated: “But they will definitely come to me.”
“Then what are you doing here?” Qin Xingyan asked strangely.
“Sorry, actually I haven’t eaten for a few days,” the voice of the person outside sounded a little embarrassed: “This world is too dangerous… There are farts running around everywhere. The tin box, I was almost hit by them several times, and there was no chance of looking for food.”
After a pause, it continued: “I heard some other guys say that there is a little human girl who can see us, so I came here to try my luck.”
Sure enough, is it that kind of thing…
“What are you going to eat?” Although she was resistant to the supernatural creatures that made her life more difficult, the little girl hesitated for a while and asked tentatively: “Say it first. Cannibalism is definitely not allowed.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not a man-eating monster. If I eat fruit or nuts, if it’s impossible, rice and the like can do it.”
The other party answered readily.
After a long illness, she became a doctor. Qin Xingyan raised her head and glanced at her IV bottle, and found that there was not much left in it, so she pulled out the needle by herself, then rummaged in the drawer of the bedside table and took out a small packet from it. Sunflower seeds.
That was the last time that the charity sent someone to visit her (and incidentally took a promotional video for the organization itself), but that person not only didn’t eat it, but also forgot it here.
The little girl herself doesn’t catch a cold with melon seeds, and she forgets it when she throws it in the drawer. It is not until today that she reappears the sky…
