He forgot all worries and smiled. He wished he could stay there forever. Suddenly, pain erupted in his
spine and radiated through his body.
“
Hey! Be on your way, petty criminal! Get back to work!”
Peng Tian frantically picked up his stone and started to run towards his destination. All his
worries burdened him suddenly, his heart becoming heavier and heavier. The sun continued to scorch
him mustering all its power to seep the strength from his muscles.
Slowly and painfully, his running slowed, his breathing became harder and harder, and
his body seemed to become a living fire with the Great Wall a distant memory. Finally, Peng Tian had
found peace through pain. He closed his eyes, never to open them again.
