Chapter 44: Gone with the Wind
Raise your foot and kick casually, and you will kick a bag of things.
Jiang Zhou bent down and picked it up, and the plastic bag read: Chen Ji.
It was the orange cake that Ling Yun said he wanted to eat before.
It's just an excuse to support Ji An.
"It's probably broken, throw it away." Ji An gave a quick glance.
"It's so easy to break." Jiang Zhou untied the knot on the bag, two small boxes.
A box of orange cakes, a box of mung bean cakes.
Jiang Zhou pinched up an orange cake.
It is very glutinous and sweet, and there is a fresh fragrance of kumquat.
"Are you hungry?"
Ji An saw Jiang Zhou eat two more mung bean cakes.
It's sweet, it's not greasy at all, it's still the same taste as before.
"It's okay, I just think I should have some dessert to celebrate." Jiang Zhou said.
"It's probably the weakest I've ever been in my life." Jiang Zhou took a deep breath, "I didn't resist anything she did. ”
"Because my heart is weak. I knew I was sorry for her. ”
"Even if she wanted my life at the time, I probably wouldn't have done anything."
"If you come out to mix, you really have to pay it back." Jiang Zhou opened the window and felt the cold evening breeze.
The left side of her face hurt a little, but she still opened the window to the maximum.
The houses on the side of the road are getting farther and farther away from them.
It's as if that story, that past, has left her.
Follow the wind, and let it all dissipate.
"Aren't we staying here tonight?" Jiang Zhou asked.
"No, let's go to Tingqi Town." Ji An said.
Jiang Zhou ate mung bean cake, looked at Ji An, and was silent.
He took into account his mood, so he didn't want to stay in Yuanshui.
"I feel light now." Jiang Zhou said.
By implication, you don't have to worry about me anymore.
"I have my plans." Ji An replied.
Silence all the way.
At three o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the town of Tingqi.
Arriving at the inn, it turned out that Ji An had already booked a room in advance.
It was probably when he was in the hospital that he went out for a while.
Not only did I look for it, but I also booked an inn.
This time, he had plenty of money, but Ji An still only booked a double room.
The furnishings in the house are much better than the previous small inn, clean, elegant, and even more exquisite than the inn of the Lingyun family.
There are small orange lights, small wooden tables, and writing desks.
There is also a large wardrobe.
"Go take a shower." Ji An said to Jiang Zhou.
He started to tidy things up, and they were going to have a good rest here for a few days.
In order not to let his wound soak in water, Jiang Zhou took out a waterproof patch from his first aid kit and carefully dipped himself.
After she came out of the hospital, the two of them went back to Aunt Qing's inn to get them.
It was another big mirror, and Jiang Zhou looked at himself who was almost masochistic and kept staring at the mirror.
Haggard and embarrassed, he didn't have the same high-spirited appearance as before.
Even with a straight face, there is no majesty at all.
It's funny, on the contrary.
Because she stayed up late, because she didn't have a good rest, her face was even more swollen.
Like a small bun.
It's a bit like, but Jiang Zhou can't laugh at all.
Turn on the faucet, a steady stream of hot water flows out, and a hot and humid mist envelops the mirror.
So, I couldn't see anything.
When Ji An was taking a bath, Jiang Zhou picked up from behind him.
Two warm bodies, touching each other.
The body temperature was soaring, and I felt that the hot water was not so hot anymore.
Silent, no one spoke, only used their bodies to fight secretly.
It seems that two people who hate each other want to be tortured.
It seems that seeing the other party in pain makes me more happy.
It is like two vines that are about to wither, and there is no verdant, only yellow, and they are intertwined.
In the desert, there is nothing, and the scorching sun on the head is bitterly cold.
There is only a drop of water, and either you die or I die.
"The day Cheng Que died, my mother also died." Jiang Zhou breathed, and his voice was hoarse as if he hadn't drunk water for several days.
Her eyes had lost focus, and she couldn't focus.
It's like looking through something, looking at something in the distance.
"To be precise, it was at my mother's funeral that I learned about Cheng Que's death."
Just like the previous time in Yishan, Jiang Zhou was pinned against the wet wall of the bathroom by Ji An.
The right side of her face was pressed against the wall, and the water flowed down her face like tears.
"My mother was originally a top student in the art department, and her first love was from Yishan."
But halfway through, because of changes in the family, she had to follow my dad. Luckily, my dad loves her very much. ”
"When I was a child, my mother brought me to Yishan, and she painted a lot of paintings on the main mountain."
"She's good at forbearance, and even though she doesn't love my dad, she endures it because she has no other choice. If it weren't for my dad, she wouldn't have known how many temptations she had to endure and how many disgusting people she would have to sneak into. ”
"After giving birth to me, she became a lot happier. It's really happy, not deliberately welcoming my dad. ”
"I became her only hope."
"When I was 16 years old, my dad said he wanted to train me and send me to the United States, but in fact, he wanted to monopolize my mom and didn't want her to share too much energy with me."
"When I first arrived in the U.S., I was alone, and my English wasn't very good. Until I met Cheng Que, she held me in the palm of her hand like a princess. As a result, I became more and more pampered and arrogant, and became a later perpetrator of school violence. ”
"That circle, both open and dark, has a lot of temptations. I happened to know that Cheng Que did not resist the temptation and took a medicine called IND, which is said to be a semi-finished product of a certain drug, which was supplied by an unscrupulous company and sold to some gentlemen. ”
"The day I got the news, I thought about it all night. I know the damage of IND, but I don't know what to do. So, on impulse, I made a decision, a rather painful one. ”
"Since I can't change him, then I'll follow her and assimilate myself into him. Go crazy with him, love, you can't live if you're not crazy. ”
When he handed it to me, I took it with a smile. After that, it's out of control. ”
"That feeling, like its name, IND, is like floating in the wind all the time."
"I'm addicted. This incident was soon known to my parents, and my father immediately locked me up at home. ”
"As for me, I jumped directly from the second floor and secretly ran to find Cheng Que. I want to go away with him. ”
"After that, when I came to my senses, I was already at my mother's funeral. After I left, she had a heart attack and left all at once. ”
"It was probably so painful that I can't remember how I learned of my mother's death and how I reacted at the time."
"I was kneeling in front of my mom's picture when my phone rang suddenly. As a result, the other end of the phone told me that Cheng Que was dead. He smoked IND, hallucinated, and jumped straight from the top floor of a building, shattering himself. ”
Gone with the wind.
The two people I love the most are gone with the wind at the same time.
Everything was blown away in the wind.
All the evils she had done before, all the big and small wrongs she had committed, on that day, were all repaid.
With the lives of the two people she loves the most, pay it back.
In two moments, she carried all the sins.
"At that time, my dad wanted to kill me. He hated me so much, ruined himself, and killed the woman he loved most in his life. ”
"He said he didn't want to see me again in his life, but he left me money and got a doctor to take care of everything for me."
"That doctor is Cheng Yan."
"He helped me get rid of IND and helped me get a breakdown. With his help, I got back on my feet and I decided to study medicine. ”
"From the humanities and arts, to the medical school. It took seven years to learn from scratch and reshape a brand new river boat. ”
"Do you know why I came to Yishan to be a doctor?"
"Because when I was on the main mountain with my mother, I met an older brother. He gave me delicious sweets. He also told me that in the future, he wanted to become a scientist and benefit the people of Yishan. ”
"For me as a young man, I was so serious."
"This person is Zhou Qiguang."
The water from the shower is constantly spraying, the water is fast, and after staying for so long, the ears seem to be rumbling.
Yishan, Zhou Yingguang, Ji An.
All of this is such a coincidence.
When she first met Zhou Yingguang in the grocery store, she was very familiar with the drama.
is like the young but ambitious teenager in my memory.
So, she spent a lot of money to hire them as tour guides and get close to them.
Because at first sight, she knew that the person she was looking for must have something to do with them.
Sure enough, at Zhou Yingguang's house, I saw the group photo.
Later, I learned of Zhou Qiguang's death.
On that day, it was as if faith had collapsed.
It's like going back to the time when life was worse than death.
She was very sad, irritable, and even felt palpitations, feeling like she was about to run out of breath.
So, she knocked on Ji An's door.
I want to find solace in him.
Perhaps, there is a little bit of Zhou Qiguang's feeling in his body, the feeling that he is worthy of others to rely on and trust.
"When I was in the most painful time, I dreamed of Zhou Qiguang many times. Even though I was young at the time, I remember it very well. ”
"It's like faith, which has sustained me through a lot of tough times."
Ji An didn't say a word, he didn't know what to say.
Maybe he shouldn't have said anything at all.
This time is Jiang Zhou's.
In the past, she was accustomed to cold and determined to become ice.
And now, there is flesh and blood, and there are tears.
One of the most authentic river boats.
She's not the one who only hooks the corners of her lips when she laughs, but there is no smile in her eyes.
"Ling Yu's matter is like a short board in a bucket, without it, the bucket can no longer be filled with water."
And so it flowed and discharged. It's all gone. ”
"Ling Yu should have killed me directly today. Maybe the damn person should have been me, not someone else. ”
"But," Jiang Zhou turned around and looked at Ji An, a drop crossed the corner of his eye, I don't know if it was water or tears, "People, they are all born to die, aren't they?" ”
