Light…
White light…
White beams of light streaked across like lightning and hit a dark curtain wall. The beams of light seemed to have a physical form. The moment they hit the curtain wall, a loud rumbling sound was heard. Then, they turned into dust and disappeared.
The black curtain wall was made of some unknown material. Although the white light was powerful, the curtain wall did not move at all. It stood as still as before.
Although the white light had been defeated repeatedly, it was not discouraged. It continued to attack the black curtain wall. After an unknown amount of time, after billions of collisions, it finally penetrated a very fine hole in the center of the curtain wall, and a small beam of extremely weak white light passed through.
"Ah…"
He was awake.
He opened his eyes and looked around. It was a quiet forest. The leaves were scattered all over the ground, as if they were covered with a thick carpet. Occasionally, the golden afterglow of the setting sun seeped through the leaves, leaving mottled spots of light on the carpet.
He was sitting on the soft dead leaves, leaning against a big tree as thick as a bowl. He did not know how long he had been in this position, but his head and body were covered with leaves, almost burying him.
A caterpillar fell from the leaves covering his head and landed on the exposed skin of his hand. The cold and smooth feeling shocked him and he woke up completely.
He was a young man. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him a boy. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. His eyes were slender and spirited, his nose bridge was high, his lips were red, and his teeth were white. He had a delicate appearance, but his figure was too thin and his face was a little pale. He looked a little malnourished.
His eyes were very bright, like two black gems embedded in his face. It was as if there was a special magic that made people sink into it at first glance.
He used both hands to push away the fallen leaves on his body and got up from the ground. The dark blue sportswear he was wearing was already worn out and there were holes everywhere. The sneakers on his feet were also worn down to the soles of his feet. It seemed that he had walked a lot.
"Who am I? Where…is this?" A pleasant baritone voice came from his dry throat. It was hard to imagine that such a pleasant voice came from the thin boy's mouth. However, the tone of his voice was a little stiff and incoherent, as if he had not spoken for a long time.
These two questions were obviously not something a normal person could ask. The boy frowned slightly and patted his head with his hand. He shook his head again. The boy's frown deepened. Without a doubt, he had lost all his memories before he woke up.
"Warning! Warning! His hunger had reached 99.9%! After 10 minutes, HP will decrease by 1% every minute!”A pleasant female voice sounded in his mind. At the same time, a feeling of hunger overwhelmed him.
The boy couldn't be bothered to think about other problems and immediately took action. His HP decreased by 1% every minute. In other words, if he couldn't find food within 110 minutes, he would starve to death.
The boy looked around for food. In this small forest, there were too few things that could satisfy his hunger. He finally found a few mushroom-like things under a large tree root. Just as he was about to stuff them into his mouth, he was told by the pleasant female voice that they were poisonous and inedible.
Ten minutes passed quickly, but the boy found nothing. His HP began to decrease, which made the boy even more anxious. He could not help but start running, but the more he did so, the slimmer the chance of finding food became.
An hour later, the boy unknowingly ran out of the grove and came to an asphalt road. At this time, the sun had already set, but the sky was not completely dark. There were cars passing by from time to time on the road. Perhaps it was because this place was located in the suburbs, most of the vehicles were agricultural vehicles such as tractors and small trucks.
He checked his health bar and found that it was only at 35%. The boy suddenly felt dizzy, and his footsteps were weak. All the strength in his body was being lost. He could not even walk, let alone run. He staggered a few steps and tripped on a brick. The boy fell head first and rolled twice before falling in the middle of the road.
A truck came from afar, and the screeching sound of brakes rang out. The truck stopped almost a centimeter away from the boy's body.
"Do you want to die? Don't look for me if you want to die!" A rough man's voice came from the driver's seat. The door opened, and a dark-skinned middle-aged man in a shirt and shorts jumped out of the car.
At the same time, a 16-or 17-year-old young girl jumped out from the passenger seat. She had an oval face and slightly dark skin. From her appearance, she looked a little like a middle-aged man, but the lines of her face were much gentler.
It was early summer, and the girl was dressed very coolly. She was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of light green shorts, and a pair of Nikes. Her plump and firm thighs were exposed, and her entire body was filled with the aura of youth.
"Dad! Quickly go and see if you've crushed anyone!”The girl's face was filled with anxiety, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her high forehead. It seemed that she was quite frightened.
Although the middle-aged man was cursing, he had already arrived beside the boy. He bent down to help the boy up and let him lean into his arms while checking the boy's condition.
" Eat... eat..." The boy was not crushed by the car. After being pinched by the middle-aged man a few times, he had already woken up slowly and kept muttering the word " eat ".
"Hey, looks like this kid fainted from hunger. Xiao Lin, go and look for anything to eat?”The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief. Since he didn't crush anyone, he felt relieved.
The girl immediately ran back to the driver's seat and took out the half bag of bread left from lunch. She looked at it and saw that there were still seven or eight pieces left. She rushed back with the plastic bag of bread.
Squatting beside the middle-aged man, the girl took out a piece of bread, tore it in half, and brought it to the boy's mouth.
"Bread, edible. Every 100 grams of bread consumed will reduce hunger and thirst by 10%. It will recover 5% of HP for five minutes.”The female voice sounded in his head again.
The boy seemed to have smelled the fragrance of food. He opened his eyes and opened his mouth to take a big bite of the bread. After chewing for a while, he swallowed it forcefully.
The girl almost got bitten by the boy and was shocked. At the same time, she saw the boy eating in a sorry state and burst out laughing. She said softly," Eat slowly. There's plenty of bread. No one will snatch it from you."”
With the girl's hand, he ate half a piece of bread. The boy seemed to be much better. He sat up from the middle-aged man's arms. The girl simply stuffed the plastic bag of bread into his hand and let him take it himself.
The boy was starving. He wolfed down the bread piece by piece. In less than two minutes, he had finished all the bread in the plastic bag.
The girl and the middle-aged man were dumbfounded. How many days had this person not eaten? Could it be that he was a starving person who had escaped from the mountains?
"No... No." The boy held the empty plastic bag and looked at the father and daughter in front of him in embarrassment.
The girl took the plastic bag and noticed the boy's appearance. Her heart skipped a beat for no reason. She thought to herself that although this boy was a little thin, he was quite good-looking. At least, he was better looking than the boys in her class.
The melancholy in the boy's eyes made the girl's heart ache again. Where did he come from? Where to? Why did she faint on the road? The girl had too many questions in her heart, but she had no way to ask them.
Her eyes moved from the boy's face to his body. The girl's heart ached again. What era was it now? Even beggars would dress better than him, right? Looking at him, it seemed like he had walked a lot and suffered a lot. What was the reason for this?
The boy ate the bread and drank half a pot of herbal tea from the middle-aged man's large tea pot. After resting for a while, his body finally recovered, and his complexion looked much better. The notification in his mind made him even happier. Not only had his hunger and thirst dropped to 0, but his HP had also recovered to 65%, and it was still rising.
His body regained its vitality and strength. The boy got up from the ground.
The middle-aged man and the girl were very surprised to see the boy recover so quickly. Usually, people who were too hungry would not have such a good appetite. Moreover, they would need to take good care of their stomachs. However, this boy seemed to be fine. He did not look weak at all. This was simply too unbelievable.
"Kid, what's your name? Where do you live?" The middle-aged man looked at the boy in front of him and asked.
The girl stood at the side, her two big eyes filled with curiosity. This big boy seemed to have fallen from the sky, and his entire body was filled with mystery.
"Who…am I? Where…is my home?" The boy's eyes were instantly filled with confusion and confusion. He kept repeating the question and asking himself. The more he thought about it, the more he didn't have an answer. In the end, he even began to pull his hair with his hands and hit his head with his fists.
The middle-aged man and the girl quickly went forward to hold the boy down. The two of them exchanged glances and understood each other's meaning. There was no doubt that the boy had lost his memory.
Although he had never encountered such amnesia in real life, it was often shown on television! If you haven't eaten pork, have you never seen a pig run?
"Dad, what should we do?" After the boy's emotions stabilized, the girl pulled the middle-aged man aside to discuss in a low voice.
"Xiao Lin, what do you want me to do? Once this matter is stuck, it's like wet hands are stained with dry flour. You can't get rid of it even if you shake it off. I think it's better for Alla to not meddle in this matter and just drive away.”The middle-aged man took out a crumpled packet of Double Happiness from his pocket, poured out a cigarette, and lit it up.
" Dad..." The girl looked at the middle-aged man and said," It's almost dark now. It's so dangerous to leave him here alone. There are no street lights here, and he's like this. What if he really gets hit by a car?"”
"This, Xiao Lin, Dad understands what you mean, but we're not related to him. If we bring him home, he doesn't know where his home is. It's not convenient for me to run around all day and only have you and your mother at home!”The middle-aged man took a deep puff of his cigarette and felt troubled.
The girl glanced at the boy who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands. Her heart was filled with pity. She tugged at the middle-aged man's shirt and said coquettishly,"Dad, let's bring him home first. We have a lot of rooms anyway, so we'll let him stay for a few days. If we really can't find out where he lives, we'll send him to the Public Security Bureau and ask the police for help. It's better than leaving him here!" Alright, alright ~"
Unable to withstand his daughter's pleading, the middle-aged man considered for a while and finally agreed.
