There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea

The first chapter of the ninth piece: (7)

Today...is her first few days in the forest?

Time has no meaning to Qi Pan.

She forgot the language and lost her five senses. She couldn't smell the fragrance of plants and trees, she couldn't taste the food in her mouth. She didn't need to eat, drink, or sleep. Only this quiet and lonely scene remained in her eyes. Because she hadn't spoken for a long time, she almost forgot the language.

The beasts here will not salivate her, because she is not a living human at all, and her flesh has no attraction to them, even in the hot night, mosquitoes will not entangle her. Qi Pan passed by the prey wolf. It didn't even bother to look at her, as if she was a leaf falling from a tree and a dead flower behind her.

She lived like this for a long time, and she didn't know when she would die, and she didn't know the meaning of her existence.

Until a long time later, a person finally appeared in this remote and inaccessible forest.

Qi Pan was a little worried when she discovered the traces of human beings. It hasn't been without humans entering it for so long, but the forest is dangerous. She always tries her best to guide each other out without others discovering her.

But today's footsteps of this person have reached the center of the forest.

The first chapter is missing from Qi Pan's body: he has become a complete puppet. She has a jumping ability different from ordinary people, and she moves very fast. Following that person's footsteps, she saw him.

——————————

Today is the seventeenth day Tang Shenbai came to this forest. He started from the entrance of the forest, bit by bit, and carried out a carpet search alone. He was wearing a mountaineering suit, carrying a marching bag, and brought enough dry food and fresh water. After a five-year absence, he returned here again.

There is no trace of human life in the forest, no fire, and nothing else. Tang Shenbai didn't know whether his dream was true or not. Five years ago, he led the Blade Squad on a mission, and after that he had lost something very important.

what is that?

he does not know.

But he was always dreaming vaguely, and the forest was calling him. So he had saved five years of vacation and finished it all at once, and wanted to find the answer. The forest is dangerous. He had this knowledge when he came here five years ago. They fumbled forward cautiously in the forest. Numerous poisonous insects, vipers, jackals, tigers and leopards, and seemingly gorgeous plants are highly poisonous. Perhaps sitting under a tree for a while, a cannibal python will appear behind them.

Even if you bring anthelmintics, it is futile. The closer to the depths of the forest, the more the miasma spreads, and it is easy for people to get sick. No one can live in such a place for a long time.

But until he came to the end of the forest and saw the beach again, he still didn't find any traces of human beings.

——————————

Qi Pan has been following Tang Shenbai, even if he is an excellent special forces captain, he cannot find her. She followed him because she was afraid that he would be in danger. Now she is the only person who knows this forest well. This is the junction of several countries and has always been sparsely populated. What is he doing here?

He seemed to be looking for something, but Qi Pan was pretty sure that he had left nothing, except for the camouflage jacket that she had been wearing.

Oh, afterwards, Qi Pan was reluctant to wear it. Although she won't be hurt or bleed, the quality of her coat will be damaged. So she folded her coat and kept it properly, and she would secretly go to the nearest village to steal some clothes to wear.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't wear it. There is no one else here anyway, and she can't perceive cold or hot anyway. But Qi Pan, someone who has been for a long time, couldn't be so bold.

——————————

Tang Shenbai found a huge hollowed-out stone. Actually, it cannot be said that he found it because the stone was hidden. Although it was on the edge of the forest, it was covered by vegetation. He didn't know why he went here. I don't even know why there is a boulder here.

Pushing aside the grass, he saw what was inside. There were neatly folded straw mats woven from hay, layer by layer, seemingly to prevent moisture, and a familiar camouflage jacket was placed on it. It was exactly five years ago. That one.

After boarding the helicopter, Tang Shenbai realized that his coat was missing, and he couldn't remember where he lost it.

This is by no means put by him.

Sure enough, there is another person in the forest!

"are you here!"

—————————

When Qi Pan heard it, she was so frightened that she was discovered, and quickly held her breath-then laughed at herself as a fool. She leaped quickly to the top of the tree and hid in the densest place. Qi Pan couldn't hold herself, so she didn't know how much she weighed, but when she jumped into the sea, she was able to float lightly on the water, thinking that her weight was extremely light. After jumping down, she looked forward to fear for a long time. She was afraid that the puppet would be damaged by the water entering, so she lay on the beach for a long time in the big sun, until the water in the body disappeared-if there was water. .

But who is the uncle asking? Who else is here?

"I want to see you!"

Qi Pan pursed his lips, but still made no sound, but quietly pushed aside the branches and leaves to look at him. He was standing in front of the huge boulder, and Qi Pan usually slept in it. She said that sleeping was actually finding a place to stay. She didn't feel sleepy or tired. She was used to holding the coat when she was nesting inside. Even if I am lonely, I am very happy.

If I could see him again, Qi Pan felt that it was worth it to die.

She didn't move anymore, but was very nervous, afraid that he would take the coat away, in which case she would have nothing.

Will it be taken away?

No way?

Tang Shenbai didn't move the coat. With his ability, he had found nothing in the forest for nearly a month, which was almost impossible. He lay in ambush on the edge of the stone, wanting to wait for the people who live here to come back.

It's strange that Qi Pan would go back, she stayed in the tree and looked at him.

Tang Shenbai waited for nearly half a month, and no one approached. Eventually he gave up this idea and sat in front of the stone in a daze, looking forward to not wanting him to go, but also wanting him to go. What would he do to stay here? He has eaten up his dry food. He hasn’t eaten almost anything in the past few days. Yi Pan found some wild fruits to give him, but he was afraid of being discovered. He could find food by himself, but he refused to leave. That stone.

Tang Shenbai stayed in the forest for three full months. When the fourth month came, his vacation was about to end, and he would return to the army to continue to perform his duties as a soldier.

"……I'm leaving."

Qi Pan clenched her lower lip and hummed softly.

"Maybe I won't be able to come here again to find the answer I want."

It doesn't matter if you don't come, you should live well, and what do you do when you return to such a dangerous place?

"Do you really exist? In the only life I have left, can I know what I have lost?"

Qi Pan was taken aback. She grasped the branch tightly. What is the only life left? How old is he this year? Although Qi Pan didn’t know how long she had been here, she had estimated it for several years. At first, she was so lonely that she was going crazy. Later, she wrote numbers on the beach every day and let the tide take it away after she finished writing. Leave any traces. She doesn't know how long it has passed, but it has been at least five years.

Time is meaningless to Qi Pan. She has seen her face facing the sea without any change. She is not a normal human being at all, nor can she survive in human society.

"I am leaving."

Wait a minute, don't go! You haven't said it clearly yet!

Qi Pan almost jumped off the tree and asked him what was wrong, but Tang Shenbai didn't say anything again.

She watched him leave the forest, and was very concerned about that sentence in her heart. After more than ten days alone, she finally couldn't bear the worries and sufferings in her heart. She went to the nearest village again and stole a dress set. On her own, of course, as a price, Yi Pan left behind the small animals caught in the forest and the edible wild fruit and mushrooms.

When she met the Sharp Blade team several years ago, they once said that she was a national Z, and when she got out of the forest, she saw the border line. In the dark, she slipped in and no one noticed it. She hid during the day and night. On the way, the little uncle left everything behind when he left, food, water, matches and some necessities for life. Besides, Qi Pan also found the address in his backpack.

She was not stupid and didn't dare to appear in front of people at will, but she took the things she brought out of the forest to the night market and got some money. Then she found an Internet cafe in a remote town. Go in and find all the information you need, and then leave quickly.

When she worked so hard to find Tang Shenbai’s home, she did not see him. Instead, the two old people living at that address, Tang Shenbai’s parents, got up early every day and would not come back until the evening. The two went home to cook according to the three meals alternately, and then drove out with the lunch box. Once Tang's mother might have forgotten to lock the trunk, Qi Pan took the opportunity to hide in. When the car stopped, she ran out and hid in the corner of the underground parking lot.

At night, when Father Tang drove to deliver dinner, Qi Pan quietly followed him.

There was no one on the way, and Qi Pan didn't dare to take the elevator. She hid and saw Father Tang pressing the button on the 16th floor, she ran up the stairs where basically no one walked.

The corridor was empty, and there were patients' names outside every ward. Qi Pan found Tang Shenbai.

Father Tang left after the meal was delivered. While the nurse at the service desk was not paying attention, Qi Pan pushed open the door of the ward that had not been closed and walked in quietly.
