The surroundings were pitch black, like endless night.
She can't see anything or hear anything, she is the only existence.
She lay in the darkness, as if she was trapped in the bottomless mud, and her whole body continued to sink at a slow but irresistible speed.
But under such a crisis, even his consciousness was confused and there was no room for struggle.
She could only wait, as before, waiting for the moment when the darkness completely drowns her, awakening in fear.
…………
Xia Qi opened his eyes suddenly.
...It's such a dream again.
Since she was in prison, she began to dream like this occasionally for a period of time.
The repeated dreams were like a signal, conveying something to her, but she herself didn't know what it was.
Xia Qi was dazed to the snow-white ceiling, and someone came to shake her: Qi Qi, the bell has been ringing, get up soon.
oh……
She slowly got up, sorted out her personal internal affairs, and kicked her slippers to the sink on the balcony to wash.
Sister Liang, who had just woken up, was brushing her teeth. When she turned her head and saw that she seemed to be inactive, she couldn't help but worry: What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?
Xia Qi shook his head: I had a nightmare.
She reached out to take some water and poured it on her face, took off the towel and looked at the gray sky outside while wiping it.
The dull color is like a rag that has not been cleaned for too long and is so comfortable to see.
But today, the strange feeling in my heart does not seem to be because of the sky.
Xia Qi covered her chest, and her heart pounded in her chest, as if indicating something.
Whenever she feels this way, something important will happen, and so will it at that time.
Sister Liang, is there anything special recently...?
Something special?Sister Liang paused and glanced around without a trace. She confirmed that there were no prison guards outside. She spit out the water of her mouth as if nothing had happened and lowered her voice:
The original warden was transferred last month, and the warden's seat was always empty.
Well, everyone says that the ‘catfish’ is going to take over.
No.
Sister Liang waved her hand: I heard that a new warden will come.
The person who thought he had suddenly snatched him from the position he had, so the catfish has been going crazy these days. If you accidentally meet him, you should avoid it.
Xia Qi nodded: OK.
After sorting out personal internal affairs, the prison guards passed the name a little, and then everyone went to the cafeteria to have breakfast and started today's labor reform.
The M874 star located in the prison is an undeveloped remote planet, only used to detain prisoners in remote galaxies.
However, a few years ago, it was accidentally discovered that there were low-level energy mines stored underground, so further development began.
Most prisoners' labor reform work has become a complicated task and only a small part of them stayed in prison to grow vegetables and raise some small animals to self-sufficient.
Sister Liang followed the large army to the mine, and Xia Qi was assigned to stay in prison to grow vegetables with other elderly, weak, sick and disabled prisoners because of her poor health.
She lined up to get tools and a small bag of vegetable seeds, and went around to the more remote area she was responsible for.
Xia Qi squatted in the ground, first dug a small hole with a shovel, took out two seeds from the bag and threw them in, then poured them into it, then watered it, and then repeated the work.
This unknown vegetable has strong vitality. Even in a soil environment that is not very suitable for planting, just sprinkle the seeds into the ground and water them a little more water and you can basically grow well.
The batch of vegetables grown two months ago have been served on the canteen table. Although the taste is very old, the taste is generally good, so Xia Qi has to be extra careful and even shifting positions.
An hour passed without realizing it.
The long-term squatting labor made Xia Qi a little tired. She grabbed her clothes and pulled them, creating some wind. Seeing that there was still half a bag of seeds left, she thought about taking a break.
She stood up with a shovel, but her eyes suddenly turned black. She swayed and was about to fall forward. Then she was held by her hands and fell into a solid embrace, which broke into her nose with a strange fragrance.
Xia Qi took a deep breath, and she couldn't say what the fragrance smelled, but it smelled particularly sweet, like a pot of nectar in the desert, sweeping away the fatigue that had accumulated in her mental state over the past few days, so sweet that even her heart began to tremble.
It smells so good, better than what she had smelled before...
She arched her nose and followed the source of the strongest fragrance, pierced her head on the collar with a few buttons on her house, and she sniffed her clavicle. When she was addicted, she was pulled open by the fragrance's owner.
What are you doing?
Xia Qi barely stood still and looked up at the person coming.
The man was tall and wearing the prison guard's uniform. His cap was pressed down very low, but he still couldn't hide his outstanding appearance and the sharp gaze bursting out from his cold eyes.
Seeing the person in front of him with a silly expression, the man paused and stared at the number of her prison uniform and repeated: What kind of work are you doing, No. 137?
Xia Qi thought he was going to pursue her actions, so she stayed for two seconds before she realized it.
She raised her bag: Report to the police officer, farming.
The man turned his head and swept across the sparse figures on the fields in the distance, looking less than twenty.
You guys are the only ones?
Everyone went to the mine, and we were the only ones who stayed here.
Xia Qi replied, tilted his body, and then changed the center of gravity to support one leg.
The consequence of squatting for too long is that blood is not smooth, and the soles of your feet are constantly gushing out, as if you are being stabbed by a needle, which is very sour and refreshing.
The man glanced at her movements, and she was too inefficient as you did just now.
As he said that, he stretched out his hand to her and gave it to me.
Xia Qi stared at the man's hands spreading out his clearly-choked hands.
What to give?
She looked at the tempting big hand and couldn't help but put her hand gently in his palm.
The softness from the palm of the hand made the man stunned for a moment, and then he felt helpless.
...Give me a shovel.
oh.
Xia Qi reluctantly pulled away his hand and put the shovel on it.
The man rolled up his sleeves to reveal the vintage watch on his wrist.He glanced at the time, untied his watch and put it in his pants pocket, then took the shovel down the ground, digging along Xia Qi's arrangement.
Soon, small pits as neat as obsessive-compulsive disorder appeared in front of you.
He turned back and asked Xia Qi for a bag, and directly reached out to grab a handful of seeds, sprinkled them in the pit while walking, and then buried the soil and watered it, and finished it in one go.
Do you understand?
A man pointed to the fields he had planted.
Next time, be smart, don’t squat and do it.
Xia Qi nodded obediently: I understand, thank you, officer.
Um.The man pressed his hat, inserted the shovel into the ground, turned around and left in a hurry.
Wait a moment!Seeing that the man was about to leave, Xia Qi was exhausted and hurriedly chased after him.
The man stopped and turned around, and was caught off guard by Xia Qi who rushed up.Fortunately, he stood firmly and held the person in place: ...What else is there?
Police Officer, I... Xia Qi just wanted to stop the man from leaving just by instinct, and he didn't have any brains to do it.
But when she looked up and met the man's gaze, she immediately blurted out: Can I know your name?
However, the man answered as quickly as he did just now: No.
Ah……
Seeing the person in his arms changing from full of expectations to a depressed expression, the man's cold face seemed to loosen a little, and he couldn't help but add: No, now.
It means, you will know in the future?
Xia Qi blinked and reached out to make up the traces of the man's clothes that she grabbed: OK.Goodbye, police officer.
I'm going to come to me again.
Her last sentence was so light that it dissipated in the wind in the next second. The man didn't understand why, just thought it was an illusion, and he lowered his hat and left in a hurry.
……
Sister Liang, who had been working in the mine for a day, just returned to the cell when she saw Xia Qi, who was not very energetic in the morning, was blushing at this time, holding a watch and pressing it on her face, with a very satisfied expression.
She looked closely and found that it was an old-fashioned watch. It seemed that it had been a while. Since the personal terminal was popularized, only residents on relatively poor planets have used such watches, but this is not something that should appear in the hands of a prisoner.
Where did this come from?
As soon as he asked, Sister Liang reacted and tentatively said: Did you... steal it?
Xia Qi nodded slowly, stared at the watch stolen from the man, smelled the residual smell on it, and showed a smile of not knowing whether it was sad or joy: Sister Liang, I may be sick again.
She can't see anything or hear anything, she is the only existence.
She lay in the darkness, as if she was trapped in the bottomless mud, and her whole body continued to sink at a slow but irresistible speed.
But under such a crisis, even his consciousness was confused and there was no room for struggle.
