1. Rainy season
◎Lions, they eat people, right?◎
“Boom—”
Qiao Jinnian was awakened by the rumbling thunder.
Before my eyes was an endless prairie, dotted with only a few very tall but not very sturdy trees. The leaves of the trees were crowded together, forming a huge umbrella shape at the top of the trees.
“Boom—”
The thunder seemed to be deliberately reminding her that this was not the time to be dazed. She then realized that the grassland in front of her was shrouded in a black fog, while the sun was shining brightly on her side.
After several flashes of lightning and thunder, the black fog finally couldn't bear the weight of the clouds and produced a huge rain column that looked like a standard cylinder.
However, those had nothing to do with her. She was not afraid of thunder or lightning because she was told by doctors since she was a child not to have too much emotional fluctuation. After all, her heart was not fully developed when she was born.
She looked back and found herself lying in a bush. Because the terrain was relatively high, she could see the grassland in front of her. The place was relatively hidden. When she touched her hands, she felt soft green grass, some of which was even taller than her.
There is no sound of heavy rain here, but there are many other sounds, including birds singing, animals roaring, and the rustling sound of animals walking across the grass.
Because of the rain, the smell of soil and grass is fresher in the distance, and the air here smells good.
animal?
Qiao Jinnian felt like something was wrong. Wait, didn't her last surgery fail? How could she still be alive? Could this be the legendary place where people died?
Qiao Jinnian didn't believe this. Maybe someone kidnapped her to threaten her parents.
Qiao Jinnian scoffed. Did these people think she would cooperate with them and call her parents just to survive? A burden to her family, if her family situation was average, she would have died long ago. Even if the operation hadn't failed, she wouldn't let these people threaten her parents.
Qiao Jinnian closed her eyes and felt calm. If a person is not afraid of death, what else can threaten her?
I don’t know how long I lay there. Before anyone came, Qiao Jinnian was awakened by the cold. The temperature here seemed to have dropped.
She sat up slowly. Over the years, she had become accustomed to being cautious in everything she did.
Just as she wanted to check her surroundings, she heard a crunching sound from outside the bushes, as if a dry branch was being stepped on and broken.
Since no one came to look for her, Qiao Jinnian thought about going and taking a look herself. However, when she wanted to stand up, she had no strength, mainly because she had no strength in her legs.
She was indeed stunted since childhood, but she was still able to stand up. This was not right, very wrong. With the little light left, she finally saw her legs clearly.
Those were a pair of legs of a baby who looked less than one year old. The feet looked very small. When he stretched out his hands, the hands that appeared in front of him were not only small but also very thin. Qiao Jinnian was stunned for a moment.
But when she saw the overly large hospital gown on her body, she understood. Perhaps it was the strong belief she had before her death that allowed her to travel through time?
Perhaps it was because she had lived to the age of 18, and her greatest wish was to have a healthy body. This powerful obsession finally burst out with the greatest energy before her death, allowing her to travel through time.
She tried to crawl for a while. Her body was able to crawl, and she deliberately increased her speed. To her surprise, she did not experience cyanosis, shortness of breath, or accelerated heartbeat!
So, she is now reborn, and has a healthy body!
So, she was not kidnapped, but it was a test from God. Maybe God wanted to see if she could survive with a healthy body?
As she thought about this, an indescribable excitement surged up from the bottom of her heart. If it was the self with severe heart disease in her previous life, she should have had a seizure at this moment, but she didn't. She felt great!
Qiao Jinnian crawled out of the bushes like a baby who had just learned to crawl, wanting to see what kind of animal it was.
"Huff, huff—" Qiao Jinnian climbed so fast for the first time and realized that normal people would also get tired and gasp for breath.
Although she was very excited, she still carefully pushed aside the branches in front of her, wanting to see what animal had just appeared.
But she was obviously not aware of the terrifying perception ability of animals, so at this moment, she and a black-maned lion walking towards her made eye contact.
Qiao Jinnian: "..." Lions, they should eat people, right?
At this moment, Qiao Jinnian's first reaction was, if she crawled back quickly, would she be able to pretend that nothing had happened?
But it was obviously too late. The majestic lion narrowed its golden eyes slightly and walked slowly but imposingly. The birds that were chirping and chatting around it flew away in an instant, and the small animals that were surrounding it also ran away.
Qiao Jinnian didn't move and could only hold her breath as much as possible. After all, she didn't think she could outrun a lion with her body.
She closed her eyes, still thinking in her heart: Maybe God just gave her a free trial card, which is only valid for five minutes.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes again, she found that the sturdy lion was lying diagonally under the tree two meters away from her...
Qiao Jinnian looked down at her small body again, suspecting that the lion was dissatisfied with her because she didn't have enough meat to fill the gaps between her teeth.
This body seemed to be the underdeveloped body in her previous life, because there was a small blue birthmark on her left foot, and this body also had it, but this body was not sick.
Since the lion didn't want to eat her, Qiao Jinnian couldn't offer herself to the lion, so she slowly crawled back, wanting to see where she could find food. She was very hungry, after all, she had been lying down for the whole afternoon.
I climbed all around the bushes on the higher ground, my knees aching from climbing, but I didn't find anything to eat.
Qiao Jinnian was a little depressed. It would be okay for one or two days, but she was afraid that she would starve to death.
It was completely dark, and the entire grassland was shrouded in darkness. Qiao Jinnian was hungry and sleepy, but he couldn't find anything to eat, and he was afraid of being eaten by unknown creatures in the night if he slept.
Logically, she could climb up a tree, which seemed safer, but unfortunately she couldn't climb up, so she could only hide in a pile of grass to conceal her body.
Maybe it was because it turned into a baby, and its body couldn't take it anymore, so it fell asleep.
At dawn, Qiao Jinnian was awakened by the strong sunlight.
"Gurgle, gurgle—" Qiao Jinnian felt hungry and was helpless. There was nothing to eat in the bushes, only trees and grass.
Suddenly, she saw the lion walking towards the tree from afar. When it got close to the tree, it seemed as if all its strength had been released. It lay down and closed its eyes to rest.
Qiao Jinnian felt that he must not have fallen asleep, because his tail was waving from side to side from time to time, driving away the mosquitoes on his body.
Yes, she crawled over and got closer, then she saw clearly that the lion's face and body were covered with flies and small flying insects.
When Qiao Jinnian saw this, she felt that the lion must be unable to sleep well.
In her previous life, she had been lying in bed doing nothing all day. After finishing her tutoring lessons, she would watch TV and some videos about nature. She had also seen videos of lions and knew that they were so popular with flies because they often ate meat and had blood stains on their faces.
At this moment, she was considering whether to go to the grassland to see what the small animals were eating while the lion was sleeping, otherwise she would really starve to death.
But then, she saw two lizards climbing down from the tree. They swaggered onto the lion, but the lion didn't react at all, as if this was a matter of course...
After watching for a while, Qiao Jinnian understood that these two were responsible for catching flies for the lion. They stretched out their tongues and kept eating the annoying insects and flies on the lion.
At that moment, Qiao Jinnian suddenly realized that perhaps, in the eyes of the lion, she and the lizard were actually the same thing? They were both creatures that had no sense of existence to the lion and posed no threat to him. The difference between her and the lizard was that the lizard was still somewhat useful...
Thinking of this, Qiao Jinnian felt a little inexplicably lost, but at this time, she should find a way to fill her stomach first.
Since the lion would not eat her, she went over there to see if there was anything that herbivores ate, such as fruit.
"Swish, swish, swish--" Perhaps because she was too nervous, Qiao Jinnian felt that the sound she made by crawling across the grassland was a little too loud. To her human ears, it was as loud as the thunder yesterday.
Feeling a little guilty, Qiao Jinnian raised her head and looked at the lion. Sure enough, she saw that the lion had opened his eyes, but because of the strong sunlight, he only squinted slightly, glanced at her, and then closed his eyes again, and changed his sleeping posture.
Qiao Jinnian: "..."
"Swish, swish, swish--" She continued to crawl towards the place where the lion came back, wanting to see if there were any herbivores there. After all, where there are lions, there must be herbivores, otherwise what would the lions eat?
But she was crawling too slowly and her clothes were too big, so she stopped, sat on the grass, rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, which made it much easier to crawl.
After climbing for an unknown amount of time, Qiao Jinnian finally came to a place with a slight slope. At the bottom of the slope was a river, and by the river were several gazelles drinking water.
She knew this kind of gazelle, she had seen it on video, but they were herbivores, and she couldn't possibly eat grass.
Having been stared at for too long, the gazelle turned its head to look at her, probably feeling provoked, and actually ran over. Perhaps it had never seen a creature like her before, so it came closer to look at her.
But he apparently forgot that he had horns on his head, and when he got so close to her, he knocked her over.
Qiao Jinnian: "..."
Qiao Jinnian was knocked over, but he was not angry. As a result, the gazelle opened its eyes as big as copper bells, which scared him. He jumped back several times before moving away. Then he couldn't resist his curiosity and continued to move closer to take a look.
As a result, a group of gazelles gathered around to see the new species.
Knowing that these were herbivores, Qiao Jinnian was not afraid, but they all had horns and were very dangerous.
Just as she was thinking about whether she should suddenly scream to scare them away, she looked up and saw that the animals that were watching her just now suddenly began to flee in all directions, running and jumping for their lives.
Not only these gazelles, but even the wildebeests farther away scattered like birds and beasts, as if they would have no chance of survival if they didn't run away.
Only then did Qiao Jinnian realize that there might be some dangerous animal behind her. When she turned around, she saw the neighbor lion!
When the lion saw her, it seemed as if it saw air. It walked straight past her, lay down by the river, and began to drink water with its head down. The two lizards on its body had long disappeared.
At this moment, Qiao Jinnian even felt that she was very brave. She was actually sitting next to the lion and watching him drink water. There was probably no one else in the world as brave as her.
The problem is, only she knows why she doesn't run, because she can't run at all...
