Chapter 81: Farther and farther away

Zhou He was seasick and had been uncomfortable. Later, Li actually brought her food, but she didn't eat it. She didn't know what the situation was like outside, and she wanted to ask Li Jing, but in the end she didn't ask anything.

Zhou He lay on the bedside all night, and Cheng Wei called her at dawn, and she woke up in a daze.

Cheng Wei's voice was slightly hoarse, and he asked, "Come up, sleep on the bed." Why did you sleep underneath?"

Zhou He sat up and said, "I fell asleep on my stomach." It was already dawn, and she naturally wouldn't sleep again, Cheng Wei hadn't eaten last night, so she said, "Are you hungry?" ”

Afraid that Cheng Wei would force himself out of bed, she tucked the quilt for him and said, "The doctor said that you can't move, don't the wound crack again." When the weather is hot, it is easy to get infected. ”

Cheng Wei said that it was okay, and seeing that she was worried, she responded again, and Zhou He went down.

Downstairs is quiet, and sticky millet porridge is already set on the table. Seeing her come down, the mute old mother stepped forward and gestured.

Zhou He couldn't understand it, so she went into the kitchen again, took a bowl and came out to serve the porridge for her. Let her eat something first, she is still making other breakfasts.

Zhou He thanked him, poured another glass of warm water, and then carried the millet porridge upstairs.

Cheng Wei was closing his eyes and recuperating when he heard the sound of the door opening and opened his eyes. Zhou He wanted to feed him porridge, but he refused, so she had to help him up, blow the cold and let him sit and eat by himself.

The only pastime here is the TV downstairs, Cheng Wei asked Zhou He to go down to watch TV, but she refused, and accompanied him to lie in the house.

Later, Li actually went out, and I don't know where to get some books that Zhou He studied. Cheng Wei gave it to her and told her to read when she was bored. Occasionally, when he encounters something that Zhou He doesn't understand, he will also say that it is his own opinion.

The small building is built halfway up the mountain, not far from a large reservoir, and the rumbling sound of water can be heard when the water is occasionally released. No one lives in the neighborhood and almost no one comes.

The person who answered that day was called Lao Cai, he didn't live here, and would send daily necessities here from time to time. The only ones who stayed in the small building were Cheng Wei Zhouhe and the mute old aunt who cooked. Li Jing and those two people are all elusive, and occasionally I see them at dinner, and I don't know what they are doing. Cheng Wei never talks about it.

Cheng Wei's open wound slowly scabbed again, and Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief.

After coming here, Cheng Wei became unusually silent, rarely spoke, and often stood at the window and smoked. Once when he woke up in the middle of the night and didn't see him, he went downstairs to find him drinking in the living room. His figure was lonely, half of his face unbelievable in a blurry halo.

Zhou He's heart ached, walked over, sat down on the sofa, and wrapped his arms around his waist. Cheng Wei only wore a shirt, and his body was cold. He turned his head to look at her and said, "Why don't you sleep?"

His voice was slightly hoarse.

Zhou He said in a low voice: "I didn't see you when I woke up." ”

He had wounds on his body and was not allowed to drink. Zhou He couldn't say anything to stop drinking, hugged his hand tightly, and said, "It's going to be fine." ”

Cheng Wei was noncommittal, patted her head gently, and said, "Let's go, go to sleep." ”

He casually threw the wine bottle aside, and half-hugged Zhou and went upstairs.

He shouldn't be able to sleep, and Zhou He can't sleep either. But no one spoke, and the two of them just lay quietly. The silence in the room was depressing.

Zhou He has not appeared since he came, and he rarely stays even in the courtyard. After getting up and having breakfast that morning, Cheng Wei put on his boots, carried a small bucket, and said to Zhou He with a smile: "Let's go, take you out to catch crabs and shrimp." ”

Zhou He knew that he was afraid that he would be bored, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I'm reading ...... book."

Before she finished speaking, Cheng Wei grabbed her hand and said, "I'll see it later." Hold a book all day and beware of becoming a nerd. ”

Although he had already left Yucheng, his situation was still dangerous. Zhou Ji didn't know if he could go out, but he was still hesitant. Cheng Wei didn't wait for him to make a decision, and pulled her out of the door.

He has been depressed for the past few days, and it is rare to see him happy Zhou He couldn't bear to let him be disappointed, and followed him out.

As soon as the two of them came out of the yard, they saw Lao Cai buy something and send it over. He was quite happy to see Cheng Wei come out, and found his fishing rod and bait so that Cheng Wei could fish. The fish in the reservoir below are all wild, and the soup is fresh.

Although the things were not heavy, the path to the bottom of the reservoir was not easy to walk, so he carried things and took them there. and found a fishing location for Cheng Wei.

In the early morning, the grass on both sides of the road brought dewdrops, and the golden sunlight shone down from the clouds, and the dew was shining.

Cheng Wei was lazy, and after sitting down on the pony, he let Lao Cai leave. Maybe it's because the fish here is getting better, and it didn't take long for it to catch a big fish.

Zhou He was excited, but Cheng Wei had no sense of accomplishment. It is said that he will catch more small crucian carp for Zhou He later, and it will be wrapped in flour and fried until it is golden, but it is fragrant.

Zhou He responded well, and watched him catch a fish seriously.

Cheng Wei's fishing skills are really good, and he caught a small half bucket of small crucian carp at noon. The sun was getting louder at this time, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Zhou He proposed to go back. Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said, "I'll go back later, I'll take you to catch shrimp and crabs." ”

The water on the side was so deep that he simply took off his boots and went barefoot into the water. Enthusiastically, he began to lift the stones on the side. The river shrimp and crabs were not big this season, but he did take some out of them, until the mute old aunt came down and called them to eat. The two of them then went back with the bucket.

Although the water is not cold, Cheng Wei's body is weak. When he went back, Zhou He still boiled ginger soup for him and let him drink it to drive away the cold.

In the afternoon, Cheng Wei slept on a recliner under the eaves, while Zhou He and his old aunt fried dried fish in the kitchen to make red date cakes.

The head of the big fish was made into fish head tofu soup, and the body was sliced into fish fillet. In the evening, it is made into a spicy fish fillet hot pot.

The old aunt has a lot of skills, and she also made milk tea for the two. It's not sweet or greasy, and Cheng Wei, who has never eaten sweets, also drank a small glass.

The injuries on his body gradually improved, but Cheng Wei began to lose sleep. Many times he woke up and was not in bed, but smoking outside or drinking alone.

Li doesn't stay here anymore, and often runs outside. Every time I come back, I will talk with Cheng Wei in the study for a long time. Zhou Ji didn't know what he had talked about, but judging from Cheng Wei's increasingly silent situation, he knew that it must be that the situation outside was not good.

She turned off her mobile phone after following Cheng Wei here, completely cut off from the outside world. Even Cheng Wei's company doesn't know if it has dealt with the previous matter.

She sometimes wanted to call Xu Yuanning to ask, but after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't call.

Half a month has passed in a flash, probably because they stay together every day. There are fewer and fewer words between the two, and Cheng Wei often carries a bucket to the river to fish, but he will no longer call Zhou He.

Although the two didn't quarrel, this way of getting along with outsiders looked wrong. I don't know if the old aunt told Lao Cai or if he saw it himself. Once Cheng Wei went out fishing again, and when he saw Zhou He standing in the yard, he said: "Miss Zhou is very tolerant of Mr. Cheng, the situation outside is not very good, and his mood is not very good." ”

Zhou He nodded silently and asked, "Is the matter serious?"

Lao Cai smiled bitterly and said, "The company's affairs and Li Jing's affairs broke out together, which is simply worse." Li has been running outside lately, with little success. ”

He said vaguely, quickly changed the topic, and said, "There is no one here, Miss Zhou can go to the mountains if she is bored." ”

Zhou He didn't ask, nodded and said yes.

Cheng Wei didn't come back from fishing until the evening, and Zhou He fell asleep on the table while reading. When I woke up, I realized that it was already dark. I didn't see Cheng Wei downstairs, and I asked the dumb aunt to find out that he hadn't come back yet.

She was afraid that something would happen to him, so she pulled out her legs and ran to the river. Halfway through the run, he saw Cheng Wei appear on the trail, Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to take the bucket in his hand.

The bucket was light, and she was slightly stunned, only to look down to find that the bucket was empty, and there was not a single fish.

She didn't say anything, and walked through the rugged path before saying, "Come back early in the future, the path is not easy to walk." ”

Cheng Wei simply sighed.

In the evening, it rained and crackled on the roofs. The temperature also dropped sharply, and the two of them slept on one side of the bed. Zhou He lay down for a while, moved to Cheng Wei's side, and reached out to hug him.

His body was cold, and it gradually warmed up. His breathing became heavier, and his big palms swam against the soft lines, holding her to his body.

Cheng Wei is purely venting his desires and moving mechanically. Zhou Ji was uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything, just hugged him tightly.

After tossing for more than an hour, Cheng Wei fell asleep deeply. Zhou He was extremely tired, but he couldn't sleep at all. After lying down for a while, he got up lightly, went downstairs, took a beer, sat down on the stairs and drank it.

She drank until she was drowsy, and then she fell asleep in bed again. Sleep without dreams until dawn.

Cheng Wei had already gotten up, and it was still drizzling outside. She looked at the mottled ceiling and didn't move for a long time.

At noon, the sky gradually cleared, and Lao Cai drove the car. The two didn't know what they were chatting about outside, and Cheng Wei entered the house at the party and said to Zhou He: "Go upstairs to change clothes, today happens to be a market, I'll take you out for a walk." ”

He didn't dress elegantly when he came here, he was very casual.

He said that, Lao Cai also smiled and said, "The market here is once a week, and it is very lively. There are also a lot of fruits in this season, so you can buy some of what you like to eat. ”

Zhou He hesitated slightly, nodded in response, and went up to change clothes.

Although he took her out for a walk, Cheng Wei didn't talk much. All the way, I only looked at the road ahead. Zhou He couldn't find what to say, so he silently looked out the window.

The bazaar is a little far away, in the county seat. It took more than an hour to drive. The streets of the small town are not wide, and Cheng Wei parked his car at the entrance of the market.

The prices here are cheap, both fruits and vegetables are much cheaper than in Yucheng. Zhou He bought a lot of them in a mess and put them in the car. Cheng Wei was not in a hurry to go back, and took her to eat the authentic snacks here. I also went to a small movie theater to watch a movie.

He looked no different than before, but Zhou He was uneasy. Even more silent.

When the two went back, it was already evening, and Li Jing and Lao Cai were there. The dumb aunt prepared many dishes and used the hanging broth as the base of the pot to make the hot pot.

Lao Cai also brought wine, saying that everyone had not eaten together when they came here. Let's get together today.

This excuse is somewhat reluctant. But no one said anything. The mute aunt was also pulled by him and sat down.

Eating shabu-shabu, a few people drank frozen beer. Each took a can.

Lao Cai is very good at finding topics, talking about this and that. Cheng Wei and Li will also echo or say a sentence or two, which are all innocuous things.

Cheng Wei would occasionally soak meat or vegetables and put them on a plate in front of Zhou He.

This hot pot was eaten for a long time, Lao Cai kept persuading the wine, and when he got to the back, Zhou He's mind was a little blurry, and he lowered his head and sat like that. From time to time, I looked up at a few people who were still drinking.

She didn't know when she had gone to bed in the end, and she vaguely felt someone wiping her face with a towel. She drank the wine, the warm towel was a little hot on her face, and she struggled away and rolled inside.

I don't know if Cheng Wei will come back this night, and when she woke up the next day, it was already bright outside. The other side of the bed was empty.

She reached out and rubbed her swollen brow, put on her shoes and went downstairs.

Cheng Wei didn't know where he went, he wasn't in the yard. Zhou He asked the dumb aunt, only to know that he and Li Jing left this morning and did not explain where they went. Just said to go out for a while.

Lao Cai was not there, saying that he had left in a hurry after drinking yesterday.

Zhou He was empty, and the dumb aunt came out with breakfast, and she didn't have an appetite to eat.

In the past, she spent most of her time reading books when she had nothing to do, but today she can't stand it. I took the book to the intersection halfway up the mountain, and occasionally looked at the road down the mountain with a distracted look.

She didn't even go back to eat lunch while she was sitting, and the dumb aunt came to her. Gesturing to tell her that they should be back soon, and telling her to go up the hill with her later if she was bored.

There are also many wild fruits on the mountain during this season.

Zhou Heying came down, and went up the mountain with the dumb aunt in the afternoon. Although she was looking forward to Cheng Wei's return, Cheng Wei did not come back that night.

Zhou He lay on the bed tossing and turning, so he simply sat up and sat on the bed until dawn.

In order not to let herself be cranky, she went up the mountain alone the next day. Tell my aunt that it is quiet and cool in the mountains, and she goes up there to read.

The aunt left her alone and brought her mung bean soup and desserts, so that she could eat some when she was tired of reading.

In fact, Zhou He couldn't stand it at all. I climbed all the way to the top of the mountain before I sat down and watched the vast mountains in a daze. The chest was so depressed that she sat motionless in a daze.

The mung bean soup and snacks that my aunt brought were untouched, and when I woke up, the sun had already set. She came down the trail when she went up the mountain, which was overgrown with weeds, and when she came down the mountain, she accidentally took a fork in the road, and she got lost. Seeing that the sky was gradually getting darker, she couldn't make out the direction, so she could only walk along the place where she could pass.

The mountain was so quiet that she panicked for no reason. Almost all the way to a trot. There was only a faint light all around, and when going downhill, one of them accidentally rolled down the slope. The palm of his hand slammed against the stone next to him, and a sharp pain pierced into the nerve.

Zhou He snorted and got up. This time I fell off the original road, but I could faintly see the lights of the small courtyard when I stood on the high rock.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and without checking the injuries on her hands, she quickly burrowed into the grass and went down the mountain.

With the light to guide her, she quickly found the trail up the mountain. Ran faster.

It was still so far away from the forest where he and the mute aunt were digging wild vegetables, and I saw the light of a flashlight over there. There were very few people on this mountain, and you didn't have to think about it to know that they were looking for her.

Zhou He's heart was extremely guilty, and he trotted all the way down.

It was Cheng Wei and Li Jing who were flashlights, his face was indifferent, he looked at her coldly, and asked, "Where have you been?" Do you know that everyone is going crazy?"

He was as indifferent as a stranger, Zhou He knew that it was his fault, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I forgot the time." I got lost when I came down, so I ......."

Before she finished her words, Cheng Wei turned around and walked down the mountain. Zhou He's body stiffened, and he slowly followed behind.

It was not only Cheng Wei and Li Jing who came out to find her, but also Lao Cai and Aunt Mute. They looked for the hill on the other side.

Li actually walked at the end, and while shining a flashlight, he called Lao Cai and said that he had found her.

When they went back, Lao Cai and the dumb aunt had already gone back, and the dumb aunt was in a hurry, and when she saw Zhou He, she stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and babbled something.

Zhou He was full of guilt and said sorry again and again. And said that he would never walk around again in the future.

Seeing that she was fine, the mute aunt quickly went to the kitchen to prepare the meal. Lao Cai coughed lightly and said, "Miss Zhou will walk around if she wants to go in the future, the other side of the mountain is a primeval forest, and there may be wild beasts." ”

Zhou He apologized again.

Lao Cai looked inside and said in a low voice: "Talk to Mr. Cheng well, I know that you didn't see him in a hurry, and he lost his temper." ”

Zhou He nodded and entered the house.

Meals are prepared long ago and only need to be reheated. The meal was extremely depressing, Cheng Wei kept a cold face, and went upstairs soon after eating.

This is undoubtedly embarrassing, Lao Cai said in a round: "Miss Zhou, don't take it to heart, Mr. Cheng is also too worried, that's why he is so angry." ”

Zhou He reluctantly squeezed out a smile and finished the food in his hand tastelessly. Knowing that the dumb aunt went around the mountain a few times in order to find her, she rushed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Her hand hurt while washing the dishes, only to notice that the palm of her hand that had fallen on the stone was swollen, she reached out and rubbed it, and continued to wash the dishes.

Cheng Wei was so angry, she didn't dare to say anything, she originally wanted to ask her aunt if there was any ointment, but in the end she didn't ask, she secretly poured white wine and rubbed it, cleaned the smell of wine, and then went upstairs.

Cheng Wei had already taken a bath, but he hadn't slept yet. Sitting on the side and smoking. When Zhou He entered the room, he didn't lift his eyelids.

Zhou He stood for a moment and quietly went to wash.

When Cheng Wei came out, he was still smoking, and Zhou He stepped forward and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

Cheng Wei didn't speak, spit out a puff of smoke, and said lightly: "I will send you back tomorrow." ”

His voice was calm and untouched.

Zhou Yi was stunned, just looking at him blankly.

Cheng Wei didn't look at her, and continued: "Clean up your things." ”

When Zhou He went to find him, he didn't bring anything in a hurry, and the clothes he came here were all prepared by him. And there's nothing to clean up.

She stood still for a long time, pursed her lips after a long time, and said, "I'm not going back." ”

Cheng Wei was impatient and said, "My injury has healed, and you can't do anything if you stay here any longer." You see, there's nothing here, there's nothing to spend hasporing with. ”

Zhou He's lips pursed tightly and said, "I don't want any pastime." ”

She's stubborn.

Cheng Wei took out a cigarette again and lit it, took a deep breath, then looked at her and said coldly: "Don't you understand?

Perhaps because he felt that he was too indifferent to what he said, he paused slightly, his voice slowed down a little, and continued: "I can't return to Yucheng for the time being. Aren't you about to take an exam? ”

Zhou He was silent, and after a long while, he said, "You can suspend your studies." ”

Cheng Wei was stunned, smoked most of his cigarette irritably, and then said: "I will often run outside, and it may take several days to come back." ”

"It's okay, I don't need someone to take care of me. Zhou He said softly.

She was determined to stay, so Cheng Wei didn't speak anymore. After a while, he snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the ashtray, sighed softly, grabbed Zhou He, who was standing stiffly, and said, "Why are you so stubborn, sleep." ”

He didn't say anything more about sending her away, and Zhou Hemeng thought it was a compromise. Wrap your hands around his waist and press her face against his chest.

Although the two of them slept in the same bed, they didn't touch her much because Cheng Wei was in a bad mood. With his body pressed against him, he burst into flames, lifted her chin with one hand, and kissed her rudely.

His hands were strong, and Zhou He was hurt by him. But he hugged him tightly, afraid that in the next second, he would push her away.

Sensing her dependence, Cheng Wei's evil fire burned even more, and rudely brought her to the bed. Kissed her viciously.
