Li He only remembered that he was smoking at the door. Why was he lying here if he was smoking?
Why was his whole body aching?
He was smoking at the entrance of the hotel.
He clutched his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. The more he thought, the more his head hurt. It was as if he had a dream with a complete plot and logic. When he woke up, he couldn't remember anything. It was as if his brain had been hollowed out.
The door opened and light from the outside seeped in.
He squinted his eyes and peered down from his eyelashes. It was a tall, slender girl. She was like a redwood tree, with a very short waist and long legs that were as slender as a compass. Her chestnut-colored hair was magical and seductive. Her big blue eyes were as deep as a lake.
Li He was sure that she wasn't from China. Was this a special service from the hotel?
But he clearly didn't order it!
The girl walked up to her. She looked like an artswoman, and her worn jeans were scuffed and worn, and she wore a gray jacket.
Li He struggled to get up. He looked up and asked, "Who are you? Where am I? "
"Who did you offend? Many people are looking for you. There's even a reward of 100,000, "the girl said. Seeing that Li He didn't seem to understand Russian, she asked in English, "Why are people shooting at you?"
"Where am I? What time is it?" When Li He heard that someone was going to shoot him, his shoulder started to hurt. His clothes had been taken off, and there was only a long gray bandage on his shoulder.
The girl said, "It's March 17, 1992."
"Where am I? What time is it?" Li He asked again.
"March 17, 1992, two in the afternoon." The girl looked at the clock on the wall.
"Where am I? What time is it?" Li He asked again patiently.
The girl gave the same answer.
After Li He asked more than ten times, the girl was finally unwilling to answer.
"This is the outskirts of Moscow. You were injured, so I brought you back. If we were any later, although the gunshot wound wouldn't have killed you, the weather would have frozen you to death," the girl said. "Are you Chinese or Japanese?"
Li He nodded. "I am from China. But I just want to know why I am in Moscow."
He should be staying at Pu River, why did he come to Moscow?
This joke was a little too much!
But what was he doing in Pu River?
Building skyscrapers?
They seemed to be old friends?
For a moment, he was confused.
The girl said, "A lot of people are looking for you outside. Do you know that? Whoever finds out about you will get a hundred thousand USD! "
She looked at Li He as if she was looking at a pile of dollar bills!
"Why do you want to kill me?" Li He wanted to know why these people didn't let him go! Who did he offend?
His mind was blank. He couldn't think of anyone who would pay 100,000 dollars to kill him.
The girl shook her head again. "I don't think he killed you because he only injured you. He didn't shoot you in the head."
"Thank you." She saved him, so he should thank her.
He suddenly remembered a detail. A bullet flew past his scalp and he ran for his life.
That was all he could remember.
His heart skipped a beat. In the blink of an eye, he was drenched in sweat.
He didn't know who he was.
The girl took the initiative to remove his bandage. "Just change the bandage a few more times, and you'll be fine."
"Are you a doctor?" Li He looked at the flesh on his shoulder. It was fine, but there were stitches and stitches on it.
"No, I'm a nurse. I just graduated. I'll remove the stitches in a few days. "
"You work in a hospital?"
The girl smiled. "Doctors don't even have a job, so how can a nurse like me find a job? You can stay here. Don't worry, no one will find you here. "
"You're not tempted by the bounty?" Li He asked curiously.
The girl spread her hands. "Of course I'm tempted, but I can't be so greedy. I'm afraid they'll really kill you."
With that, she left the house.
Li He struggled to stand up. Okay, he finally succeeded this time. He finally had a chance to observe the house. It was a wooden building. The whole thing was made of layers of pine wood. It used wooden wedges, and there were no screws.
To prevent leakage, tree hairs were used to fill the gaps between the pine wood.
He could still smell the pine wood.
He spent a few minutes putting on his clothes and walked out of the house. In front of the door was a large lake. Looking into the distance, there was an endless white birch forest and snow.
The sun shone above the white birch forest, and the snow sparkled with silver light. The snow was struggling on its deathbed, and hopelessly turned into water. The grass under the snow was happy, and it was finally going to come out.
Li He didn't know where he was. His body didn't hurt as much now, and he only felt hungry.
"Is there anything to eat?" Li He asked the girl who was chopping wood outside the door. There were pieces of decayed white birch wood on the ground.
He was starving.
"There's bread on that table. You can eat it yourself." The girl continued chopping wood, and didn't even look up.
Li He unceremoniously grabbed the bread on the table and bit into it. Suddenly, his entire face turned red, and he couldn't breathe.
The girl laughed, put down the axe, stood up, and gave him a cup of water. "Drink some water."
"Ah, ah." Li He took the cup, gulped down a mouthful of water, and panted. "Thank you."
"My name is Bafra. What about you?" The girl asked with her arms crossed.
"My name is … Li Lan." Li He didn't know why such a name popped up in his mind. This name left a deep impression on him. Maybe this was his name.
"Chinese names are too hard to remember. I'll call you Li."
Li He nodded. "No problem."
He was now sure that this wasn't some special service.
He finished the bread, but he still wasn't full.
There was a pack of cigarettes on the table, and he lit one for himself.
"Are you alone?"
"Yes. My parents passed away a long time ago, due to various reasons. "
"Sorry, I don't know."
Bafra said indifferently. "Then you can continue to rest."
"How long have I been lying down?" Li He was a little confused about time.
"More than twenty days."
Li He scratched his head. He didn't have any concept of time.
He rummaged through his pockets, but there was no proof of his identity.
The only thing he could be sure of now was that he was China, and he came from Pu River.
He spoke fluent English, and maybe he was highly educated.
He knew the structure of this wooden house, and maybe he was trained in engineering, which could explain why his memory of building a skyscraper appeared in his mind.
When he saw the lake in front of him, the first thing he thought of was that this was a good place to fish. Maybe he was a fishing enthusiast.
Stuffing out the cigarette in his hand, the smoke coming out of his mouth was accompanied by a disgusting breath. He sniffed his body, and there was a rancid smell.
He couldn't stand it!
He quickly ran to the lake, took off his clothes, and went into the lake to take a bath!
A piercing chill took him a while to react, but the sun was just right, and it made him feel very comfortable.
He was sure that he must have been a diligent and clean person in the past!
"Hey, here's a soap for you." Bafra threw a rolled up towel to Li He.
