Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 Don't know where the disaster begins

The sky in autumn is clear and blue, as sapphire was washed with water.

The golden leaves are like many beautiful butterflies, flying in the air.

The school grass of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Chunyu Xian, is packing alone in the dormitory.

Ready to rush to Beijing Capital Airport, meet up with the teacher and other classmates, and head to Xi'an together.

"Chunyu, when is your flight?"

Chunyu Xian looked back and saw a pretty girl standing by the door.

Why she shows up again?

Brows frowned involuntarily, why this girl is so annoying.

Ever since the other boy in the same dormitory who brought his new girlfriend to the school and attend a dance party, she found Chunyu Xian.

From then on, she came to see him every other day, which provoked her boyfriend who is also a classmate of Chunyu Xian.

The boyfriend was very upset and considered Chunyu Xian was a shameless mistress who undermined the feelings of others.

It was really inexplicable.

Ignoring her presence, he carried his bags and passed her, closed the door of the dormitory, and walked away.

After leaving the school gate, he found that he had not been followed. He was relieved, and took a taxi which was reserved by Didi. Good thing is he arrived at the airport smoothly.

When he arrived at the meeting point, Chunyu Xian saw that everyone was there already. After the teacher took away everyone's ID card, he went to reception desk to handled the boarding pass as a small group .

Because they are all boys, the luggage is just a simple backpack, there is no checked luggage, which is especially easy.

The boy in the same dormitory looked at the entrance and exit of the airport unconsciously, hoping to see his girlfriend who promised to see him off.

Suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket vibrated, he quickly took it out. His face showed ecstasy after he read the message, just one second, his expression suddenly stagnated.

Turning to look up at Chunyu Xian, his eyes filled with grief and anger, as if he could shoot him by hundreds of knives.

Chunyu Xian was confused and no idea why he was staring at him in that way. Somehow, the gut was telling him, he should blame the girl.

And he realized that it's very possible something wrong with that weird girlfriend, who is absolutely a trouble maker for everyone.

Even if he believes that he never did anything unclear to make that girl feel she has a chance to be closer to him. Because he never pay attention to the girl and barely looked at her or talked to her, not even had a date with her.

He was truly not able to understand what's wrong with both of them, and actually it's none of his business.

The teacher collected the boarding pass and get back to the meeting point. After he distributed the boarding pass to everyone, they walked toward the security checking point.

People could tell some of them are close friends. And like to walk together and went through the security check one by one and went to the boarding gate.

Chunyu Xian walked alone at the end. As the school grass, he got to used it.

Once he is admired by the majority of girls, he simply became the public enemy of all boys in the school.

He knows how to keep a safe distance from everyone.

This trip is mainly to prepare for the upcoming graduation exhibition at the beginning of next year.

The theme of this exhibition is "Silk Roads: The Routes Network of Chang'an-Tian Shan Corridor", which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which covers the Chang'an-Tianshan portion of the ancient Silk Road and historical sites along the route.

On June 22, 2014, UNESCO designated a 5,000 km section of the extensive Silk Roads network, stretching from Chang'an/Luoyang, the central capital of China in the Han and Tang dynasties, to the Zhetysu region of Central Asia.

It took shape between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD and remained in use until the 16th century, linking multiple civilizations and facilitating far-reaching exchanges of activities in trade, religious beliefs, scientific knowledge, technological innovation, cultural practices and the arts.

The thirty-three components included in the routes network include capital cities and palace complexes of various empires and Khan kingdoms, trading settlements, Buddhist cave temples, ancient paths, posthouses, passes, beacon towers, sections of The Great Wall, fortifications, tombs and religious buildings.

The small group planned to start the journey from first stop Xi'an along the ancient Silk Road.

Passing through Zhangye, Jiayuguan, Dunhuang, Yumenguan and other cities. They can collected and sketched from the arts they can see.

Until the last stop in Turpan at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Although they are all big boys, the teacher who leads the team still liked to spend some time to reminder every student carefully about safety matters.

Chunyu Xian stood silently, listening carefully, feeling this moment of being cared for.

Chunyu Xian, his father is a veteran special soldier who was once captured by armed insurgents in the Middle East.

He also suffered inhuman torture physically and mentally.

Finally, when the armed rioters were forced to move, they left him immortal and dump him in shattered rubble as a piece of trash.

Fortunately, when his mother's MSF team, Doctors Without Borders, passed by, the army dog ​​accompanying the team found him.

And they immediately treated him, tried their best to save his life, and eventually he wake up.
