Artificial Soul 3

Kai Xin got the long-awaited high-quality sleep, and didn’t have a dream last night.

When she woke up in the morning, she sat on the bed and stretched out, her bones and joints creaked, and her muscles and bones stretched out.

She had breakfast and rested for a while, and followed the original plan for morning exercises.

Kai Xin ran along the embankment, from the head of the embankment to the end of the embankment. The old man who also did morning exercises secretly competed with her and ran back and forth with her. When Kai Xin ran to the third lap, the old man insistedI can’t hold it anymore.

He wheezed and said: “It’s rare for young people to come out for morning exercises. My granddaughter almost failed the high school entrance examination. After going to work, she stayed up all night and her physique worsened. She was out of breath on the fifth floor. I let her go Exercising, but she got a gym card, which was a waste of money, and she didn’t go to it a few times! It would be great to go for a run behind our own river bank, is it worth going to the gym?”

“Modern people are under a lot of pressure. The gym is full of young people. It’s good for everyone to chat and exercise together…” Kui Xin couldn’t stand the familiar old man. After chatting for a few words, he ran down the embankment, doing Stretching training.

At 8:30 in the morning, Kai Xin finished his morning exercise. The refrigerator at home is almost empty, and she is going to the market to buy some fruits and vegetables.

However, when she walked to the open-air vegetable market, she found that there was a smell of burnt, the ground was wet, the vegetable vendors on both sides of the road had retreated to the corners, and the road in the middle of the market still had traces of being run over by carts. Vendors and citizens who came to buy vegetables huddled together, and the scene was chaotic and noisy.

Looking into the vegetable market, two or three firefighters in uniform held water guns to cool down the gas tanks. The doors of several shops seemed to be burnt, and wisps of smoke came out, covering her Sight.

Kai Xin’s heart skipped a beat, there was obviously a fire here.

Kai Xin had a good friend when she was a child, and her family did business here. But the fire started too far away from the entrance of the vegetable market, and Kai Xin couldn’t tell which shops caught fire.

“Hurry up, hurry up, spread out! Don’t go in!” The city management car came, and the loudspeaker on the car yelled, “I didn’t see that you are still cooling the gas tank, it will kill you if it blows up, stay away ! Back outside the vegetable market!”

Only then did the small vendors in the vegetable market start to move, packing up vegetables and fruits on tricycles and taking them away, and the crowd of spectators gradually dispersed.

Kai Xin paid for a handful of green vegetables, and asked the old lady who came out to set up a stall, “What’s the matter? Which store is on fire?”

“The grain and oil store is on fire. The fire was so big just now that the smoke was rising.” The old lady said, “The grain and oil store caught fire and burned to the next shop. Look, it’s so serious that the door of the shop fell off. The ambulance also came, and just took a few people away, and the fire was terrible.”

Kai Xin’s mood turned bad all of a sudden, “There is a store next to the grain and oil store that sells fresh noodles. How is that store?”

“It was also burned, and those flour and other things caught fire as soon as they were burned.” The old lady smacked her lips and said pitifully, “The owner of that noodle shop and his family lived on the second floor of the shop. The anti-theft windows were welded dead. Don’t go, the fire engine came and rescued the family of three. It was after six o’clock when the fire caught fire, and there were few people, and they were sleeping…”

“Which hospital’s ambulance came?” Kai Xin asked hastily.

“Old woman, I can’t read!”

“Thank you, grandma.” Kui Xin straightened up, holding a handful of vegetables and thinking for a while, thinking that if a person is seriously injured, he must be sent to the nearest hospital, but the best hospital for burns in this city is near the city center. Will transfer later.

When Kai Xin was in elementary school, there was a friend of her age in the community. They were in the same school and in different classes. They happened to be assigned to the same class when they entered junior high school, so they walked to school together. In the third year of junior high school, my little friend’s grandma got cancer. Her parents sold the house to her grandma for medical treatment, and the family of three moved to a shop to make do with it.

The fresh noodle shop that was affected was owned by Kai Xin’s little friend. When she went to buy noodles, her uncles and aunts would always give her a little less money, or not pay at all. Kui Xin was embarrassed to take advantage of others, so she rarely bought The noodles are all boiled vermicelli.

Later, when they went to high school, the two of them went to different schools, and they didn’t live in the same community anymore. During the summer vacation and winter vacation, Kai Xin was busy working part-time. She was busy helping her parents take care of the noodle shop. They didn’t play together often, and the relationship gradually faded.

However, when Kai Xin’s grandparents passed away, the family even came to visit her specially and brought a box of ham sausage and a box of expensive milk.

A friend suddenly suffered bad news, and Kai Xin was in a heavy heart, so he bought some ingredients and went home.

After running, she was sweating all over, took a shower in a hurry, changed her clothes and went out to the hospital.

Kai Xin is a transparent person in the class. Except for studying, she rarely communicates with her classmates. Even the contact information of social software is added after she graduated and bought a smartphone. She has a normal relationship with everyone in the class.

The buddies in the noodle shop are one of the few people who can be called “friends” of Kai Xin.

Kai Xin went to the hospital closest to the vegetable market first, and asked the guard uncle if there was an ambulance to pick up the patient in the morning, and he got an affirmative answer.

“Are you talking about the wounded patients brought in from the vegetable market? It’s in our hospital, and people should still be giving first aid.” The uncle guard said, “I could see the smoke floating over the vegetable market at that time from here in the hospital.” arrive.”

Kai Xin thanked her and walked towards the emergency center. On the way, she met a nurse. After explaining the situation, the nurse quickly took her to the emergency room.

“How’s the situation?” Kai Xin asked anxiously.

“The two adults were not rescued, and they were already dead when they were brought here.” The nurse said softly, “The remaining one is still being rescued, with burns all over his body. The situation is a bit serious and not optimistic.”

“…” Kai Xin opened his mouth and closed it again.

“Can you contact the family members of the patients?” the nurse asked. “When they were sent over, they didn’t have ID cards or mobile phones. There was no way to contact their families.”

“I can’t contact you either.” Kai Xin said, “I’m friends with her… how serious is she…? ”

“Extensive burns on the whole body, including the face and limbs.” The nurse said, “I’m sorry, but this is the case. I can only say that I tried my best to save her life.”

The nurse left, and Kai Xin sat alone on a chair outside the emergency room, staring at the closed door in a daze.

People always say that when you grow up, you will start to face life and death.

But when Kaixin was not yet grown up, she experienced life and death. She is very used to such things. Grandparents passed away one after another, and her parents were not by her side. She had no time to be sad. Life.

Life did not leave Kai Xin with a chance to stop and breathe, so that later an old man passed away and set up a mourning hall in the community. When she passed by, she would think: “Oh, another person has passed away.” The emotional impact is minimal.

Her deepest feeling about this kind of thing is that human life is too fragile. A disease or an accident can easily destroy a person and a family.

Two hours later, the door of the emergency room finally opened.

The doctor in charge of the rescue came out sweating profusely, and his gloves were covered with blood.

Seeing that there was only Kai Xin in the corridor, he couldn’t help being taken aback: “Is there no family?”

“No.” Kai Xin looked inside the door, “I’m her classmate, has she been rescued? How serious is the situation?”

“There is a small door in the emergency room. We transferred her to the ICU.” The doctor said, “The finger is burnt and may need to be amputated… This must be discussed with the family members, and there are other things such as payment for hospitalization, no family members come to do it. No way.”

You can’t enter the ICU of the hospital casually. Kai Xin can’t get in, and she can’t help you with other things. Just when she was in a dilemma, she saw a couple in plain clothes rushing out of the corridor of the emergency room.

She recognized at a glance that they were her friend’s aunt and uncle.

As soon as they arrived, they anxiously grabbed the doctor and asked him questions. They couldn’t tell whether it was sweat or tears on their faces, and they didn’t even notice Kai Xin beside him.

Kai Xin stood beside them and listened for a while, then turned and left silently.

Now is not the time, come again next time.

I hope that when she comes next time, her friends will still be there.



Life has to go on, and Kai Xin cannot change his pace of life because of accidents.

“Why are you so absent-minded?” Kai Xin looked at Su Rong and asked.

“I…have any?” Su Rong blinked her eyes, “It must be because I didn’t sleep well last night.”

“That’s what you told me yesterday.” Kai Xin said calmly, “You’ve been absent-minded for two consecutive days, don’t you want to go to university? Do you want to continue the art student route?”

Su Rong shuddered suddenly, “No, no, I will study hard next time!”

Yesterday was Tuesday, August 2nd, the day to return to the second world, and today is August 3rd, the day to return from the second world to the first world. To outsiders, Su Rong was absent-minded for two consecutive days, but in fact She spent another seven days in the other world between August 2nd and August 3rd.

Su Rong can’t tell the date anymore, the first thing she does every time she comes back is to check the calendar, and her memory is not so good, she can’t remember what she said a week ago, only after Kai Xin reminded her to realize that she The performance is too obvious.

Su Rong began to think seriously about the feasibility of writing a running diary, so as not to forget what happened in the time and space travel again and again.

“Actually, I think sister Xin Xin, you are also absent-minded.” Su Rong muttered.

“Well…a friend of mine had an accident at home today.” Kai Xin said vaguely, “You write the questions seriously, and I’ll check them for you.”

Su Rong struggled in the sea of ​​questions with a sad face.

In the evening, Kai Xin declined three invitations from Su Rong’s mother to stay and eat, and was sent home with her enthusiasm.

Walking on the road, Kai Xin looked at the sky covered by red clouds and couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Today is a sunny day, and the Huoshaoyun in the sky has never been so beautiful.

She stopped for a while on the street. A few minutes later, she lowered her head and was about to continue walking when she suddenly felt a hallucination in front of her eyes.

The clouds in the sky seemed to reflect a city, and a mirage-like scene faintly emerged.

Then, as the light and shadow changed, the mirage-like scene disappeared. The whole process only lasted about fifteen seconds.

“Is that… a city?” Kai Xin’s eyes widened.

Why does the mirage that flashed across the clouds just now resemble the urban architectural style of the second world? !
