Chapter 7: Footsteps Behind Him
"You are?" She turned her head towards Wu Xi, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't call her name, so she had to smile at her apologetically. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You won't remember me, I'm an employee of the company, and I've seen you in the company before." She quickly broke the embarrassment between the two.
"I heard my father say, you come here to travel, Meizhen is very good, and the scenery is beautiful." She lowered her head, as if caught up in some good memory.
Wu Xi couldn't bear to disturb her, she still remembered her grief-stricken appearance at Zhen Zhe's funeral, she and him must be in love with each other, but such a life and a couple were cruelly broken up by death.
The rain stopped, Wu Xi walked out of the antique shop alone, she looked back at the beautiful woman who was still standing in front of the store, and silently made a wish in her heart: I hope that in the next life, God can give you more time, deep love, walk slowly, until you see each other's old appearance, and then snuggle up on the warm bed and pass away quietly.
"Xixi, where have you been, I have looked for you a few times all over the world." As soon as she returned to the hotel, Tintin exaggerated followed her ass and complained.
"Just go out and take a walk, what's wrong?"
"Isn't this going to be clear, there is an activity of putting lotus lanterns in Meizhen tonight, the big guy wants to go and see it together, and ask if you want to go together."
"I ...... Go ahead. Although she knew that the dead could not see any so-called lotus lanterns, she still decided to go, for most of the past six months, she had witnessed too many life and death, and this suppressed emotions urgently needed to be released, and this kind of lotus lantern activity was just right for her, because it was not so much a tribute to the dead, but a kind of comfort to the living.
The riverside of Meizhen is full of people, some watching the excitement, some taking pictures, and some sincerely paying tribute, noisy and lively.
Wu Xi belongs to the third type, she bought several lanterns, carefully wrote the names of the deceased on each one, and then gently put them into the water.
"Why do you have so many people to pay tribute to?" Cui Minghan asked her behind him, and he was also holding a lamp in his hand, with the words Huo Weiwei written on it.
Wu Xi smiled at him, "A lot, do you want me to talk to you?" ”
"Then there is no need," he replied without thinking, and then crouched down by the river, pushed the lotus lamp into the water, closed his eyes, and folded his hands in silent thought.
"Can she hear me?" He looked at Wu Xi with a heavy face.
"She will." She lied, the dead are gone, but the living need hope, otherwise how to move forward in this world.
"Let's go, find a quiet place to wander, it's so lively here, I'm afraid ghosts will be disturbed." Cui Minghan stood up and walked with Wu Xi towards the other end of Meizhen. Since everyone was gathered by the river, there were many fewer people here than usual, and the two of them were silent for a while, thinking about their own thoughts.
There were two people standing on the arched bridge not far away, the man was covered by the umbrella in his hand, and he couldn't see clearly, and the woman was held tightly in his arms, his whole body was attached to the woman's body, pressing her waist into a bow, a pair of hands roaming around her back, lips sucking wildly on her white neck, as if she were his most delicious delicacy.
"What's the matter, what are you looking at?" Cui Minghan touched Wu Xi's arm.
"It's okay, Director, I'm a little hungry, let's go get something to eat." She pulled Cui Minghan's sleeve and hurriedly left here, she didn't want him to see this lively scene, not because she was afraid of embarrassment, but because they all knew this woman, she was the daughter-in-law of the Zhen family who met when she was hiding from the rain during the day. Although Zhen Zhe is dead, after all, he has only been gone for two months, and with the relationship between Cui Minghan and Mr. Zhen, he doesn't know what to think when he sees this scene, and I don't know if he will tell Zhen Shuhan about it. Wu Xi didn't want to hide anything for her, she just didn't want to be the discoverer of this incident, not to mention that she always had a feeling that although the woman on the bridge did not resist, she was not very reluctant, she seemed to be just enduring the violation of the man, and did not get real happiness from it.
"How is the relationship between Zhen Zhe and her wife?" Wu Xi peeled off a broad bean and pretended to ask Cui Minghan on the other side unintentionally.
"A match made in heaven, made in heaven, talented and beautiful, childhood sweethearts, I think any word is not too much to use on them."
"How?"
"Zhou Mo, that is, Mr. Zhen's daughter-in-law and the Zhen family are world friends, it is said that the two met when they were teenagers, and it was love at first sight, and later they went abroad together, studied together, and returned to China to get married together, they thought they could do a lot of things together, but they didn't expect everything to come to an abrupt end because of Zhen Zhe's illness, and a pair of beautiful people were separated by yin and yang." He sighed, "But why are you asking about this all of a sudden?" ”
"Just a little curious." Wu Xi looked down at the tea foam floating in the cup, and his heart was more like he had been knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know what to think for a while. Why would she do that? is obviously still in love with him, is there any reason for having to do it? Or do you want to find someone to vent your frustration? But in any case, she shouldn't have spoiled herself like this, did she, she didn't make fun of it.
"Wu Xi, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm just a little tired."
The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, the sound was small but evenly paced, and the "tuk tuk tuk ......" was one after the other, without interruption. The more this happened, the more uneasy her heart became, and the person behind did not follow her pace just because she had quickened her pace, he still maintained his own pace, as if he was already sure about catching her.
She didn't dare to look back, for fear that she would be too weak to move away from seeing something scary, so she grabbed her backpack and ran along the riverbank. There is a vague light in front of her, it should be a storefront that has not closed yet, great, she is saved, thinking of this, the speed under her feet can't help but speed up a few points. As if God was playing tricks on her, her foot suddenly stepped on a slippery object, her body center of gravity was unstable, and her ass fell backwards to the ground.
She didn't care about her sore elbow, and was about to get up in a hurry, when suddenly, something flew against her cheek, and then there was a hot pain in her face, and she wiped it with her hand, and found that her face was actually scratched. What the hell? She cursed in her heart, and then tried to stand up with her hands on the ground, and there was a slimy and slippery touch under her hands, which should be the culprit that caused her to fall.
She looked down and saw a small triangular head on the ground, and a pile of bodies that had been trampled into mud. This...... Is it a bat?
