076 Pulling
Lu Yunzheng put the ginger soup on the low cabinet as usual.
Leaned back to the bed and turned on the computer to check all the hotel information in Nagisa.
This place in Zhuyu is not big, there are only four or five hotels that can be regarded as stars, and there are more than a dozen hotels, so it is not difficult to investigate.
It was just a snowstorm overnight, and there was a thick layer of snow outside.
Lu Yunzheng lifted the curtain and looked out, the snow covered the entire city, and it was silent and white, the traffic was endless, and the white on the road was rolled black.
Sanitation workers shovel snow on the side of the road.
The snow turned into light snow, and it seemed that the year before the year was not going to end this snowstorm.
The wind carried the snowflakes on the window, and when it was pasted, it turned into water and trickled down the glass, leaving a water stain.
Lu Yunzheng could see that Wen Qiao had never seen snow, and he didn't know if he would be happy to see Zhu Yu's storm.
He took a photo and posted it in the group.
Then I posted it on Moments.
There are no words to match, but it speaks volumes.
I'm in the same city as you, watching the same snowfall, breathing the air you've breathed.
You can hide from me. I will always watch over you.
There are a lot of people who like it, and most of them are curious that Lu Yunzheng will actually travel a year ago, and it looks like a small city.
Most people find it unbelievable.
In the crowd of rainbow farts, Lu Yunzheng saw Ning Xi's reply.
Ning Si: Did you really go?
Lu Yunzheng stared at it for a long time, and he had not edited it in a complicated mood. After thinking about it, many people in the circle of friends have mutual friends, so he simply deleted it and entered silently: It's almost there.
Soon, I'll find you soon.
The circle of friends returned to quiet, and everyone silently praised it.
Wen Yu chatted privately: Who are you looking for?
Their circle is not big, and Lu Yunzheng guessed that Wen Yu must have also gotten the news, and he did not shy away from confessing.
Lu: Your sister-in-law.
Wen Yu: I haven't got the certificate yet, isn't it necessarily?
Lu: Do you want to poke me like that?
Wen Yu: Each other.
Wen Yu is a temper, Lu Yunzheng knows him too well, after all, they grew up together, and their temperament and tone are too familiar.
He didn't think that Wen Yu really cared about him, anyway, it must be right to watch the excitement.
Of course, it's certainly not that simple.
As for why Wen Yu suddenly asked, Lu Yunzheng didn't plan to think about it.
Get by, and if you don't tear your face, you're still brothers.
He flipped through the circle of friends and was about to quit WeChat, when Ning Xi's message came.
Ningsie?: She contacted me last night and asked me to tell you not to look for her. Spring Festival is coming soon, you go back to Nancheng early.
When Lu Yunzheng saw this information, his heart beat faster, and his blood boiled.
Ning Si: Don't ask me where she is, I don't know, after she sends a message, her phone can't get through anymore.
Ning Xi didn't tell a lie, after she received Wen Qiao's text message. I tried to call to contact and persuade me, but after half a second, it didn't arrive, and when I dialed back, there was only a mechanical prompt on the other end.
Lu Yunzheng stabilized his mind and dialed Ning Xi's phone.
Ning Xi seemed to have a premonition that Lu Yunzheng would call, and answered it when it rang.
Brother Zheng, I really don't know where she is. Ning Xi was helpless, I tried, or I will give you the number.
I thought he would be very anxious to check the number, but who knew that he spoke slowly: Is she okay?
After asking, he regretted it, knowing that these Wen Qiao might not tell Ning Xi, but since he asked, he didn't explain.
Ning Xi was slowed down by his words, and then replied: I don't know, she didn't tell me. Didn't give me a chance to ask.
That's it, it seems to be a peace report, and then disappear.
She was like this back then? Lu Yunzheng asked.
What? Ning Si reacted to what he asked, yes, she was also when she went to Jiangcheng, and she was afraid that I would go to her. Anyway, I'll report safety, but I won't say more.
Speaking of which, Ning Xi didn't hide it from Lu Yunzheng and said: When I first went there, she would ask you on the side, I know she wants to ask you, but I don't dare to just say it, I will take the initiative to talk to her.
Who told you not to do anything. But then, for a long time, for many months, she cut off contact with me, and then she stopped asking you, and I asked later, what did she do during that time, and she said that she had an illness, and she forgot about you.
Lu Yunzheng was sad when he heard it, his heart seemed to be pinched, sour and swollen.
Ning Xi said, Lu Yunzheng didn't say a word, and listened quietly.
Say you're tired, Ning Xi stop, will you bring her back?
Lu Yunzheng's fingers clenched tightly on his mobile phone, and he made up his mind and said: Yes.
I will definitely take her back.
Well. Ning Xi's voice was very low, Brother Zheng, be nice to Wen Qiao, she has a hard time.
She had a very hard time, and Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but think of what Wen Qiao had painstakingly explained when he was first called back to Nancheng, when Aunt Rong asked him if he had a chance with Wen Qiao.
Looking back, I was really fucking not human at the time, and I introduced the object, what a fucking stupid.
Thinking of this, my brain became dizzy again, and my body temperature did not drop.
He moved to the side of the low cabinet, picked up the ginger soup with one hand and poured it down, the spicy and pungent smell spread in his mouth, the tip of his tongue was a little spicy of ginger, and there was a wisp of sweetness.
When you're done, put the bowl back on the cupboard.
Time was pressing, and the problems on the port side needed to be solved urgently, leaving him with little time left to find Wen Qiao.
Lu Yunzheng's cold was a little serious, he checked the nearest pharmacy, changed his clothes and planned to buy some medicine. After eating, go find someone.
Downstairs, he walked to the front desk with the bowl, glanced at it, put the bowl on the cabinet, knocked his fingertips on the cabinet, and said to the young lady at the front desk: Is the ginger soup in your hotel an extra service?
The young lady at the front desk blinked her round eyes and looked dazed.
Lu Yunzheng accepted the other party's subtle expression, pulled the corners of his mouth and said: It's okay, thank you.
After walking a few steps back, I asked the young lady at the front desk again: Is there a pharmacy on the left?
The young lady nodded and said: Go out and turn left.
Lu Yunzheng hummed, wrapped his clothes tightly, opened the curtain and walked out.
The cold wind swept across his cheeks like a knife and poured into his ears, stinging in bursts.
Lu Yunzheng stood against the snowflakes and strode forward, because he had a cold, his brain was a little drowsy, and his steps were much heavier, leaving a row of footprints on the sidewalk.
After buying the medicine and the thermometer, he shuffled back to the hotel with heavy steps, drank the medicine, and just lay down, he heard a knock on the door.
He became nervous and asked who it was, and the girl said it was room service.
Lu Yunzheng opened the door and glanced at the young lady and the cart.
Lu Yunzheng frowned slightly, in his opinion, this little girl at the front desk was too enthusiastic.
Could it be the hospitality of the people of this place?
Anyway, he had observed it several times, and the little girl's eyes were clear, and he couldn't see what was hidden at all.
He wondered if he was thinking too much, maybe it was the feature of this hotel.
The young lady at the front desk took out a few quick-cut fruits from the cart, put them in Lu Yunzheng's hands, and then bent down to cover the cardboard box, which is the fruit supplied by our hotel. It's too cold, and we're worried that you don't want to go out, so we'll deliver it to your door. Have a nice stay.
Lu Yunzheng raised his eyebrows and accepted the fruit.
There are quite a lot of fruits, all of which are in season, four or five boxes, and the amount is also very rich.
Isn't your hotel doing this business at a loss? Lu Yunzheng asked sharply.
The young lady smiled: What the boss asked, we just listened to the arrangement.
The young lady thinks that she is official and polite, and she does not leak.
Lu Yunzheng doesn't delve into whether their hotel will lose money, at least sending ginger soup and fruit is indeed a good check-in experience, but he still has a question, how much salary will your hotel pay you?
The young lady frowned blankly, not understanding why he asked so, a copy.
Lu Yunzheng hummed, thanked her and closed the door, the corners of his mouth gradually curled. One salary, both food delivery and front-desking.
How can there be such a thing. He would not even think that the little girl had taken a fancy to his skin and offered him three or four times to be courteous.
I'm afraid it's a trust.
Of course, Lu Yunzheng knew and didn't know, put the fruit on the low cabinet, picked up a box of oranges and took it to the sofa and sat down.
Unpacking the box, slowly peeling off the orange peel, a sweet and sour taste spreads.
He smelled it very comfortably, and although the orange aroma could not relieve the cold, it could calm some agitation.
Lu Yunzheng had an absurd idea in his heart.
Perhaps, it's good to be sick.
He finished the sentence. Sweet and greasy with a hint of sourness bloomed on the tip of his tongue, he squinted his eyes, swallowed the petal in his mouth, and the rest of the orange flesh rested on the table with the orange peel.
The air conditioner in the house was warm and hot, and a layer of water vapor condensed on the windows.
The snow gradually decreased, but there was no tendency to stop, Lu Yunzheng hesitated for a moment and went out again.
This time, when he went downstairs, he still didn't meet any other guests, as if he was the only guest in the whole hotel. It seems a little lonely.
When she went out, the young lady at the front desk was fiddling with her mobile phone, and she didn't notice Lu Yunzheng going out.
When he went out, he stopped around the corner and looked around, and suddenly saw a familiar figure at the pharmacy where he had bought medicine before, the other party was wearing a light white down jacket and a hat, and he was very tightly wrapped.
Lu Yunzheng stood in place, looking stupid, his heart was pounding, and the blood in his body was flowing backwards, as if his cold limbs were alive.
He was stunned for half a minute before he walked towards the drugstore.
Through the door curtain, you can catch a glimpse of the familiar figure, standing in the store and talking to the sales clerk.
Lu Yunzheng took a breath, opened the door curtain and walked in with a body of wind and snow.
A young clerk greeted him, he had an impression of Lu Yunzheng, and asked with a smile: Sir, do you need any other medicine?
Lu Yunzheng swept his gaze, didn't say yes or no, and secretly looked over there several times.
I'm sick in my throat, you get me some medicine. He casually came up with a reason.
The clerk introduced several kinds to him, but Lu Yunzheng listened absent-mindedly, and his heart was like playing a drum, both expectant and afraid, with mixed tastes.
He walked to the cashier with the medicine, and as he passed by the woman, a heart hanging in the air returned to its place, as if he could hear the sound of a heavy fall.
Lu Yunzheng retracted his gaze in disappointment, and quickly checked out and left.
Not Wincho.
It's a pleasant feeling of being full of surprises and then blowing up.
I don't know if people are particularly fragile and sensitive when they are sick, he stood at the door and sniffed. As soon as the wind blew, the eye sockets were wet, cold and painful.
Ignoring the cold, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and stood at the intersection and smoked in the wind.
The heat of the blood drops, and the limbs gradually get colder.
He took the cigarette in his mouth and carried the medicine, watching the person who had been recognized as wrong come out of the pharmacy, and at this moment, the tip of his tongue tasted the taste of smoke, which was very bitter and astringent.
He took a sharp puff. Push the cigarette butt into the snow.
The phone rang.
Lu Yunzheng took it out and took a look, and Li Tezhu called.
Mr. Lu, have you found the boss lady? Do you need me to come over and help? Li Tezhu asked cautiously.
The tip of Lu Yunzheng's tongue touched his mouth, feeling that the bitter taste could not be dissipated, no, how is it in Hong Kong City?
Li Tezhu admires Lu Yunzheng's ability to be calm and calm no matter what is big, and he can also be distracted to deal with work, maybe this is a strong man.
It's going well on the port side, it's just ...... Li Tezhu stopped talking.
Lu Yunzheng's eyes narrowed: Just what?
Li Tezhu said: Duan Yan left Hong Kong City.
Where did you go? Speaking of Duan Yan, Lu Yunzheng's eyes showed a terrifying coldness, pressing the corners of his lips, as if he had changed into a different person.
Li Tezhu hesitated: Nancheng...... Check your flight information.
Scold!
Lu Yunzheng snorted coldly, looking for someone to stare at him, don't you stay in Hong Kong City, and run to Nancheng to find death.
Li Tezhu said again: Duan Yan seems to be looking for Miss Wen.
Lu Yunzheng's eyes were completely cold, colder than the broken ice covering the ground at the moment.
Well.
After hanging up the phone, he stopped the car and went to the two hotels farthest away from Zhuyu, and without exception, there was no information from Wen Qiao.
Just as he leaned back to the hotel on the seat, his phone vibrate.
An unfamiliar text message flashed at the top of the phone.
Lu Yunzheng's text message box has a lot of red dots. Whenever the event merchant pushes various messages, he rarely cleans it up, and this one is the same, when the push text message is placed in the unread mailbox.
As the car approached the hotel, he put away his phone and quietly looked out the window.
Looking forward, a white sedan stopped at the door of the hotel, and a girl wearing a mask came out of the hotel, stood on the side of the road and waited for the car to stop, then pulled the door and bowed into the car.
Just a few seconds. Lu Yunzheng felt his heartbeat skip a beat.
The lost ecstasy beat against the body like a tidal wave.
He didn't admit it, and he didn't admit it, the person who came out of the hotel was Wen Qiao.
The distance was a little far, Lu Yunzheng couldn't see the license plate clearly, and he anxiously urged the driver: Master, hurry up.
The master said: Traffic light, can't be fast.
Coincidentally, the red light in front of them came on, and the car was forced to stop.
Lu Yunzheng watched Wen Qiao's car leave, he turned around anxiously, eager to pull the car door and get out of the car.
Master, do you see the license plate of the white car?
The master squinted his eyes and muttered: It's too far, too far, I can't see clearly, it seems to be E2. Unseen.
Lu Yunzheng tried to unscrew the car door, but was stopped by the driver.
When the driver saw that something was wrong with him, he hurriedly asked, "Young man, what happened?"
Lu Yunzheng stared at the white car in the distance, gritted his teeth and said: My daughter-in-law ran away.
The driver's eldest brother took it seriously, and hurriedly persuaded him: You are a foreigner, the conditions are so good. is good-looking, how high should the daughter-in-law be and run away with others.
Lu Yunzheng didn't have the heart to take advantage of it, raised his chin, and said confidently: It's my fault.
The eldest brother muttered: Your fault is your fault, what are you scaring me for.
When he arrived at the door of the hotel, Lu Yun got out of the car and rushed into the hotel.
Help me turn down the surveillance and look at the license plate of the white car at the door. Lu Yunzheng gasped.
Although the young lady at the front desk sent him something a few times, she still looked embarrassed: I don't have the authority to adjust the monitoring.
Who has?
The young lady was frightened by his fierce tone, and hurriedly said: Our boss, but our boss is out for the New Year.
Tut!
What a coincidence caught up.
He kicked the wall at the root. Suddenly said: Can you call the boss and say that you are accommodating?
The young lady said: If the monitoring room is in the hands of the boss.
Come on! Just embarrass him.
Seeing that he was anxious, the young lady asked: What are you looking for that car?
Lu Yunzheng took the trouble to explain that the reason why he came here was of course much hidden, and told her that there was someone he was looking for in the car, so he must find the news of the car.
The young lady was very moved after hearing this, and said that she could understand, and hurriedly said: Although I can't adjust the monitoring, I heard that the guest wants the ancient village. You might be able to look for her in Guzhai.
He didn't expect that the peak loop would happen at such a time.
The young lady saw that he was a foreigner, so she said: Guzhai is a township in our Zhuyu, 50 kilometers away from the city in the northwest. The shuttle bus to Guzhai runs once a day, at 8 o'clock in the morning, and if you go, you have to be early. The road over there is not easy to walk, and it is even more difficult to walk when it snows.
Lu Yunzheng nodded and silently wrote down what the young lady said.
He booked a bus ticket to Guzhai online, planning to get a good night's sleep, and strive to get better with the cold, so that he doesn't have to have to work so hard to find someone.
When Lu Yunzheng turned around, the young lady stopped him: That young lady seems to care about you very much.
Well?
The young lady said: The ginger soup, fruits, and this are all she asked me to pass on to you. Sorry for the lie.
The young lady took out a paper bag and put it on the table, Lu Yunzheng opened it and took a look, it was full of all kinds of cold medicines, fever reducers and cough medicines.
Lu Yunzheng grabbed the bag and quickly went upstairs.
Look.
She still loves him.
He poured out the medicine, picked up two suitable ones and swallowed them, as if the discomfort in his heart was relieved a lot.
In the middle of the night, Lu Yunzheng slept in a daze, feeling dry and dry, and his throat was like a fire.
He habitually reached out and fished a handful, and his side was cold, and he opened his eyes with a sweaty face.
After realizing that there was no one around.
The room was pitch black, with only a little light coming in through the window, reminding him that it was still dark.
He closed his eyes again, groggy as if in a dream.
In the dream, he was sick, very sick, lying in bed waiting for Wen Qiao to serve him.
Wen Qiao patiently wrung the handkerchief to wipe his face, from his face to his fingers to his body, she wiped it delicately, and the feeling of dryness and heat was replaced by a comfortable cool feeling.
Wincho helped him to sit up. Leaning on his chest to feed the water, he coaxed softly: After taking the medicine, we will go home.
He barely squeezed out a voice in his throat to respond to her, and then swallowed the medicine cooperatively, the warm water slid through his throat, and he drank too quickly, the water overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and Wen Qiao wiped it with his hand in a panic.
The fingertips are warm, soft and delicate.
Later, he rolled into the quilt wrapped in Wen Qiao.
Wincho left him with a back. He hugged her from behind, his chin resting on his shoulders, strands of hair curling his cheeks, and he rubbed them with fear.
The two slept together, and the breath in the dream was sweet.
No one wants to wake up.
The sky is bright, the snow is shining, and the warm winter sun shines through the windows and spreads on the balcony.
Lu Yunzheng slowly opened his eyes, not used to the light, and his throat became a little sickly hoarse because of the fever: wife. Why didn't you draw the curtains.
Voices spread through the room, but there was no response.
He opened his eyes, and the blank space in front of him woke him from his sweet dream.
His mind went blank for a few seconds, and he didn't dare to admit that he was just having a dream. He lifted the covers, and the place beside him was empty, not even wrinkled.
He quickly got out of bed, and everything was as usual in the room.
The shirt was thrown by him on the carpet, and the razor fell on the sofa.
The medicine was scattered on a low cabinet.
Empty water bottle at the head of the bed.
Half a cigarette on a low cabinet.
It's enough to show that he just dreamed wrong.
He wiped his face and went to the bathroom to rinse his face with cold water.
Catching a glimpse of the packaging bag in the trash can, he squatted down stiffly to see that it was the packaging of fever reducer.
He remembered that he had swallowed cold medicine last night and had not swallowed fever medicine.
Some kind of absurd perception jumped out again, and my heart was pounding.
He searched the room for clues.
With no evidence to be found but the bag, his hopes were interrupted again, and he sat down on the bed in despair.
Suddenly, I felt a foreign object under the quilt and knocked myself.
He was stunned for a few seconds, lifted the quilt, and a women's watch appeared in his field of vision.
