Chapter 4, Help! I am here!
The ground is piled with yellow flowers. Withered and worn, who can pick them now? Guarding the window, how can one endure the darkness alone? The parasol tree, accompanied by fine rain, drips drop by drop at dusk. In this situation, how can one express the word 'sorrow'!
... ...
If I find out who did this...
Make his life devoid of meaning
Getting closer
The thunder and lightning make me feel as if I could die at any moment, and in a way that I would be charred.
Calming his emotions for a moment, Li Teng exerted both hands with strength, preparing to climb back onto the wooden bed
mournful and tragic
Even if he is dead, at least let people know that he has died, and know where he died
Otherwise, his life would be devoid of meaning
I am so miserable
In poetry, one can still watch the parasol trees and the rain by the window, but what about me now
A rumbling sound echoed.
Li Teng feels that he is on the brink of mental breakdown and collapse
Hunger caused Li Teng's mind to be momentarily hazy and then suddenly clear again
His bare feet had just found a slight foothold because they had stepped on the markings on the stone wall
Having not eaten, it is difficult for the body to warm the half-damp padding and quilt, but at least the damp quilt can provide some protection against the wind
Given the circumstances, what significance does it hold?
Thinking of salted fish
Although angry, Li Teng no longer wishes to pursue questions such as 'Why me?', 'Why treat me this way?', and 'Who is treating me this way?'.
He did not sit up
A large plume of thick smoke suddenly erupted from one of the engines on the side of the civil aviation passenger aircraft
His entire body's organs will gradually fail as a result, and then death will ensue
A dull thud sounded with a bang
There is also a kind of inexplicable anger
Li Teng was filled with uncontainable anger
Help! I am here!" Li Teng instinctively stood up and waved at the commercial airliner.
However, it now seems that the possibility of rescue is rather slim
However, this time, the rumbling sound is somewhat different
Taking advantage of the last bit of strength, Li Teng struggled to turn back onto the wooden bed's slats, lying flat on his back while gasping for breath
The scale next to me is ... ... 1000 meters
His anger is unfounded, and it is very likely that he is simply angry at himself for being unable to sleep
Two chicken legs would be fine as well! Li Teng licked his cracked lips
A life without meaning is worse than being a salted fish
Help me! Can you see me?" Li Teng waved his hand vigorously, trying hard to increase the likelihood of being seen by the pilot of the civil aviation aircraft
One can only continue to endure
... ...
Upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that those markings are designated scales
Unless a miracle occurs during this period
Falling down will definitely result in a shattering of bones
It is very tragic
At that moment, he suddenly noticed some carvings on the stone pillar beneath him
Although he longed to drink rainwater as he did last night, he did not wish to experience the thunderstorm from last night again
The person who wrote this poem is truly talented
Li Teng did not even have the strength to sit up, so he just lay there.
Although that way no one would know he died here
Because there is the moon
Li Teng instinctively glanced in the direction of the sound and, upon seeing the scene in the sky, couldn't help but widen his eyes
The fuselage of the aircraft began to shake violently
I will tie him to a rocket and launch him into the sun
He knows that this is due to hunger and thirst
Isn't this too high
It is meaningless
It would be great to have a mobile phone, at least I could read online novels to pass the time
But now he has nothing and can accomplish nothing
After reciting a poem, Li Teng felt an overwhelming sympathy for his current situation
The civil passenger aircraft flew at a low altitude, becoming increasingly clear in his line of sight
Continuing to sleep may be the best choice at the moment
Cold, chilly
Li Teng knew that a civil aviation passenger plane was flying overhead at a great altitude
Hunger and thirst prevented his body from receiving sufficient energy replenishment, which led to a decline in his bodily functions
After basking in the sun for an entire day, he became exceedingly thirsty
If only there were a fish
Tonight is not as dark as last night
It seems as if this body no longer belongs to him, and his soul merely resides here temporarily
Gazing at the sky, after confirming that he was still trapped at the top of the stone pillar, his heart was once again filled with despair
Why was I chosen
When the day brightened again, Li Teng slowly awakened from his slumber
Cold, increasingly cold
For instance, someone discovered him and arranged for a helicopter to conduct a rescue operation for him
No rainwater solves the problem of thirst
A person who is bored to such an extent is likely to suffer from a mental breakdown
His body is exceptionally weak, and the fatigue has not been alleviated despite having had a good sleep
... ...
If one were to die in their sleep, it might not be so painful
It has become dark
This night is very calm
I feel unwell all over, an indescribable discomfort
After Li Teng waved his hand, the civil airliner indeed changed its direction in the air. Although Li Teng did not believe that his call for help had any effect, the civil airliner, after altering its course, truly headed towards the direction of the stone pillar
The stone pillar has markings, which indicates that it is not a natural formation, but rather a man-made structure
It is just like conducting experiments on laboratory mice
It is very loud, seemingly nearby
It was so clear that Li Teng could almost see the windows on the fuselage of the airplane.
A slight breeze has risen, blowing against Li Teng's body. Even though he is wearing pajamas that have already dried, he still feels somewhat cold
I am just guarding a pillar
A wave of helplessness surged in Li Teng's heart
Of course, there is no food either
Is this really happening? Is there a risk of an aviation disaster?
Today is a bright sunny day
These six characters summarize it very well
The damp and cold quilt makes one feel as if they are in an ice cellar
After taking a breath, Li Teng grasped the leg of the bed with one hand and the edge of the stone platform with the other, cautiously glancing down towards the base of the stone pillar.
Searching and seeking, cold and desolate, sorrowful and mournful. At the time when it is suddenly warm yet still chilly, it is the hardest to find rest. How can three cups and two small bowls of light wine withstand the sudden gusts of wind in the evening? Even as the wild geese pass by, it brings heartache, for they are old acquaintances.
I do not know if it is due to having slept too much, but in any case, I cannot fall asleep, and I do not even want to close my eyes.
If this continues, one will develop rheumatism
Who built such a stone pillar that reaches a height of one thousand meters, and while he was asleep, hoisted his bed to the top of this pillar
If life is lost, what does it matter if one has rheumatism
As the sun was about to set, both the quilt and the mattress had dried to about 50 percent.
Li Teng's clothes are indeed dry
It seems that his previous estimation of the height of the stone pillar was accurate; he is indeed now at an altitude of one thousand meters.
The four bed legs have also been reinforced with rivets
Lying down and waiting for death
Every day, several civil aviation passenger flights pass overhead.
The nose of the aircraft is lowered, beginning to dive downward
In the moment of falling, Li Teng frantically grabbed with his other hand and managed to catch hold of a bed leg. His feet kicked wildly against the stone wall below, seemingly stepping on something, which allowed him to temporarily stabilize his body
He no longer expects to be seen by these civil airliners, so he will not waste his energy jumping, shouting, or waving any longer
Treat a dead horse as if it were alive; what if it gets saved
The limbs have almost lost all sensation
The pillow appears to be only one-third dry
Li Teng has made up his mind that, before his bodily functions completely fail and before death arrives, if rescue has not yet come, he will jump down from the top of this stone pillar
Soon, Li Teng discovered a problem ... He realized that he could not sleep today
Lying flat is indeed quite uncomfortable
After a series of long sighs and short gasps, Li Teng fell into a drowsy sleep.
If I were to find out ... ...
There is neither thunder nor lightning, nor is there a sudden storm or gale
The problem is ... ! ... The airplane is currently diving in the direction of the stone pillar where he is located !
... ...
A solitary, cold moon hangs in the night sky, casting its light upon Li Teng's equally cold face on the bed
Further down, there seems to be a notation such as 999 meters
