Content introduction:
Leqi is a ten year old girl who lives in a desert town called hard soil Town in California. Two years ago, her mother was electrocuted after a storm. Dad had his own life and was unwilling to take care of Leqi, so he invited his French ex-wife Bridget to become Leqis temporary guardian. With this distinctive French mother, Leqi recovered from the shock of her biological mothers death and began a new life. The only thing Leqi is worried about now is that Bridget will send her to an orphanage one day and return to her beloved France alone.
Lucky hopes to find a way to stop Bridget from abandoning herself. Therefore, she tries to be a "perfect child" and often eavesdrops on the conversations of members of the "twelve step therapy anonymous society" to find her own "magical power" from their experience.

She was determined to make Bridget realize how much she loved Leqi by running away from home. So, in a sandstorm ravaged afternoon, Leqi carried a heavy life-saving backpack and walked to the depths of the desert
