It was only more than a month later that Hong and Zhou You learned about the Xiaohe tragedy and the changes in their families. Lao Wu deliberately delayed the time to inform them. On the one hand, because Lao Wu was busy taking care of Ah Xiu and Wu Lao's funeral, he had been in grief and depression, and he really didn't want Shui Hong to touch his scar; Another reason is that Lao Wu doesn't want Zhou You to feel that this incident can make him eliminate his worries from now on - Lao Wu can completely see that Ah Ni's existence is a threat to Zhou You and Shui Hong's happy life. Once Zhou You knew that this bloody case had caused Ah Ni's sadness and despair, and he was forced to give up painting temporarily, he would definitely feel relaxed. This made Lao Wu feel intolerable. Although the root cause of this tragedy indirectly originated from Zhou You (if it were not for his intervention, the subsequent series of vicious infections caused by this "virus" would not have occurred), Zhou You could not have taken any legal responsibility for the deaths of these three people. Today's young people have long regarded morality as a tradition of hypocrisy, without the slightest guilt or conscience reproach for their actions.

Lao Wu didn't tell them the bad news in the south for a long time, maybe he just didn't want Zhou You to be too comfortable. At first, he wrote a text message saying that he and Ah Ni had returned to Suzhou safely. It wasn't until the two funerals were scheduled to stop that he had time to write a long letter to the two of them, telling the story of the death of Ah Xiu and Wu Lao, and forwarding the will that Wu Lao wrote to Shui Hong before his death. Wu Lao once again expressed his hope that she could return to the Wu family, and felt lifelong regret that he could not see her again at the last time. In Wu Hanxiong's long letter, Lao Wu did not make any reproaches and demands to Shui Hong in the way he has always behaved.

Zhou You and Shui Hong are intoxicated with drunken love and art all day long, and a new body painting of Zhou You is about to be completed. It's just that Shui Hong has been a little puzzled in recent days, she called Ah Ni several times, but there was only an empty echo from the small building, and no one answered the phone. Lao Wu's long letter, like a muffled thunder on a sunny day, knocked her to the ground, and suddenly turned the fine wine they had carefully brewed into a cellar of bitter wine.

Rainbow couldn't imagine that bloody scene. As soon as he closed his eyes, Ah Xiu's shadow was still vivid. Although Lao Wu's letter did not mention the cause of the tragedy, every word seemed to condemn her selfishness and ruthlessness.

The rainbow was crushed hard. She felt like a sinner at large, a felonist who had killed three lives and escaped. Even if she is sent to court, it will be difficult for her to wash away her sins. The spiritual weight of conscience, morality, and motherly love weighed on her heart, causing her to tremble and spasm.

Three lives, that is also her beloved relative. The end of the three of their lives is inseparable from her escape. Ah Xiu is the girl she watched grow up, took over the burden she threw off, shared her anxiety and guilt, Ah Xiu loved Lao Wu wholeheartedly, but she was pregnant with the child of the Wu family, with a beautiful vision for the future, and went defenselessly. She has just received Lao Wu's love, and she has only enjoyed happiness for a few months. If Ah Xiu hadn't walked into that small building, he would have married a satisfactory guy and would have lived a good life. Who imposed this bad luck on Ah Xiu? Thinking about it, Shui Hong's heart was extremely painful and guilty.

Shui Hong couldn't bear to read Wu Lao's will. The letter, written the day before he died, was written with a shaky handwriting, as meticulous as the countless surgeries he had performed in his life. Her father-in-law is the eldest person who loves her the most in the whole family, and his love for her is sincere and kind. From the first time she met him, his love was frankly displayed to the whole family. For this reason, she had to leave the Wu family's mansion and move to a small building by the river. But for more than ten years, her father-in-law has always been polite to her, he never called her alone to discuss family affairs, and he wrapped the true love in his heart in the normal family affection of his daughter-in-law. But every time she sees her father-in-law, she can feel the special care and care behind this family affection. Not long after she and Lao Wu got married, in order to support her to go to college, Wu Lao specially hired a nanny for Ah Ni; During the holidays, he helped her ask the tutor to eat a small stove; asked someone to help her recommend the manuscript, and also ran around for her work arrangement. Shui Hong deeply understands how a well-educated elder expresses and restrains his love, even his mother-in-law can't find a little mistake, and Lao Wu is even more moved by his father's love for the younger generation. However, Wu Lao left her suddenly, his condition could have lasted for a long time, and he must have died of excessive sadness. Shui Hong remembered that for more than half a year after she met Zhou You, the reason why she did not accept Zhou You's love for a long time was not only for Ah Ni, but also for fear of breaking the heart of her father-in-law, who was not only her father, but also her benefactor, teacher and best friend. She felt that in the past ten years, her feelings for Wu Lao sometimes even exceeded her feelings for Lao Wu, which was a more otherworldly pure spiritual love and admiration, how rare and precious it is now......

Wu Lao's will awakened Shui Hong's platonic spiritual love, and the self-blame in her heart became deeper and deeper. She felt that she was so sorry for her father-in-law, until he died, he didn't know where Shui Hong had gone, and at the last moment of his life, he was still looking forward to Shui Hong returning to his spiritual kingdom and family. And she, in the past year, was intoxicated with her love with Zhou You, and rarely thought of visiting her father-in-law, she did not give him even a little care and return when he needed her the most, and she did not even go to see him for the last time before he died. She betrayed one of the most respected elders and friends, she is a heinous, selfish and ruthless bad woman, she ruined two generations of the Wu family, how will she face the father and the old folks in her hometown in Suzhou?

And the ex-husband Lao Wu, who inherited Wu Lao's conduct, may be the most ashamed of all those who love her. His health will also be irreparably damaged by her sins. Over the past year, Lao Wu's tolerance, generosity, and friendliness to her have greatly exceeded her expectations. Until now. Lao Wu still adheres to the secret between the three of them, and for the sake of his daughter and her happiness, he is alone and suffers mental torture that others cannot imagine. If a year ago, she could have learned that this storm of love would cause such a tragic ending and consequences, would she still be able to throw herself into Zhou You's arms? She asked herself, and her mind went blank.

And the poor daughter Ani's golden life, her art, and her newfound love, all of which she had snuffed out, irreparably snuffed out. If...... If...... If life could start all over again, she wouldn't be like that again. She will make everyone proud of her and live happily.

For the first time, Shui Hong doubted and hated her previous creed of "love first". She couldn't bear such a blow and blame herself. She wanted to cry without tears, and sobbed silently. If tears can alleviate her sins, let her tears flow into a small river and carry her back to Suzhou. It was getting dark outside the window, and the room was dark, and when she finally woke up from her coma, she said the following incoherently to Zhou You, who had been waiting by the bedside:

“…… I can't stand it anymore, this love and art are so cruel, it's covered with blood at the beginning, I can't go with you anymore to finish our business...... You let me go back to Suzhou, I have ruined three lives, and I can't ignore Ah Ni Lao Wu and my mother-in-law anymore...... Ah Xiu and her father-in-law are dead, and my mother-in-law is also sick, so I have to take care of her...... Lao Wu's career is more important, he can't collapse, he still has to save many people...... Ah Ni is even more pitiful, I can't bear to ruin her artistic future, she needs her mother, she is my only daughter, the continuation of my life...... I have to go back, my dear, and I thank you for the love you have given me, I cannot repay your love...... We don't live on Earth, we seem to be floating in space, but I have to go back to the ground, and I will always love you, in our memories and imaginations, until the end of my life...... Zhou You, please, let me go back, I can't stand it anymore......"

"Shui Hong, if you go on, it may feel better to say it......" Zhou You said groggily holding Shui Hong. He also felt like he was about to collapse, and he couldn't even stand up.

Rainbow broke free of his embrace and stumbled towards the door. "I'm going to call Lao Wu, I'll go back right away, I'll go buy a plane ......ticket," she said, scribbling her clothes haphazardly.

Zhou You's face is colorless. He dimly felt that Shui Hong was really determined to leave. His eyes were black, and he suddenly felt a suffocation and a palpitation in his chest, and he shouted with all his might, "I won't let you go!" And he fainted.

Shui Hong broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly closed the door, and turned around to take care of Zhou You. She turned on the light, trembled and wrung a cold water towel, and put it on Zhou You's forehead, she couldn't help his heavy body, so she had to guard him to lie on the carpet. Zhou You's lips trembled, and his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was dead.

Shui Hong looked at the pale-faced Zhou You, held his cold hands, and remembered the **** that Zhou You often mentioned, there seemed to be two black holes in front of her eyes aimed at Zhou You. If she leaves, a person with a character like Zhou You may break into an even more uncontrollable disaster. He would hold a gun to his chin, rest his head on the canvas, and pull the trigger with his foot, leaving her with a performance of desperate love, a terrifying black hole in space...... Shui Hong felt that she was about to go crazy. Her hair was loose and her feet were barefoot, and she was in a hurry in the bedroom. At this moment, she really wants to tell all the girls in the world that if you don't have enough psychological capacity, don't fall in love with crazy artists. Because once you fall in love, his cruel charm will make you not even have the courage to give up. Shui Hong bent down and hugged Zhou You in the crook of her arm, kissing him gently, deep in her heart, she still felt how much she needed Zhou You's cruel love to help her support the three mountains of conscience, family affection and maternal love.

Shui Hong didn't know how much time had passed, Zhou You finally squirmed in her arms and slowly opened her eyes. He raised his arm, grabbed Shui Hong's neck, and leaned her face on his chest, stroking her hair weakly, unable to speak for a long time. Shui Hong let go of him, stood up and poured him a glass of water, he suddenly trembled and snatched the cup, handed the rim of the cup to Shui Hong's mouth, carefully tilted the cup, and fed the water into Shui Hong's mouth little by little. Shui Hong's heart was sour, and she only felt that there was a spring of life, flowing into her depleted and weak heart......

Zhou You raised his head and drank a large glass of water in one go. Then he staggered to his feet, went into the bathroom, rinsed his head with cold water, and walked into the room with trembling lips, and turned on all the overhead lamps, wall lamps, and table lamps in the room. His face became paler and paler in the bright light, but his eyes were wide and round, revealing an indistinguishable fierceness.

He unbuttoned his neckline, let out a long sigh of relief, helped Shui Hong on the sofa, and said:

"Now hear me unto me, the law of my love is supreme and selfish, and it is like territory and sovereignty, which cannot be compromised in the slightest. Love is not politics, politics is the art of compromise, and love is the art of broken jade. If the laws of morality do not allow us to love, then I have no choice but to die. All the good spirits of human beings have been disillusioned again and again, only love still exists in the bottom of people's hearts, in madhouses, prisons and cemeteries, we can still see men and women who have been crushed for love. If there was no love on earth......"

"But...... I went back to Suzhou to love ......"

"Don't interrupt me, darling! For more than a year, I have loved you with my life, but I have not broken the law. Why do you want to put the blame on yourself? Did you kill Wu Lao? No! The property of the old Wu family has long been targeted by the gangsters, and they will be poisoned sooner or later. If Lao Wu and Ah Ni were at home that day, they might have killed the whole family. They had premeditated, knew the Wu family well, and planned everything patiently and carefully. I also saw you in the hallucination just now, if I hadn't dragged you to Beijing, maybe all three of you would have died. Are there still fewer such bloody cases? These robbers can even pry open the bank, can't they pry open the little Wu family? I think there is something wrong with your thinking, and instead of condemning the chaos and greed brought about by the corruption of society, you take the evil they have caused on yourself. If you are guilty, you can only cover up the sin, you cover up the source of the evil in society with your kind heart, and try to use your happiness to bury the flawed legal system, and the pain makes you lose your mind, you are so confused! This isn't the rainbow I love......"

Zhou You's calmness is accompanied by passion, and passion is accompanied by anger. Shui Hong had never seen Zhou You so righteous and strict, and he couldn't help but be deeply shocked by him, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhou You grabbed Shui Hong, put her on his lap, softened his mouth a little, and said:

"Rainbow, do you really think that between us is just love? Without the two of us co-creating art, can there be soil for love? To me, they are like air and water, one is indispensable. It is impossible for true Chinese artists to be divorced from politics and not to be craftsmen who only appreciate beauty and art, and in their artistic creation, they have poured into the free and rebellious spirit of the countryside surrounding the city and art encircling the autocracy. In modern society, after people gradually become disillusioned and abandon faith, art has increasingly taken the place of religion and become the last spiritual pure land of mankind......"

Tears welled up in Shui Hong's eyes. She hugged Zhou You tightly and buried her head deep in Zhou You's arms. She felt Zhou You's strong indignation against authoritarian corruption, and this sense of justice was extremely precious to a thoughtful artist. She understood what Zhou You meant. In Zhou You's life, maybe she is the only one who can really understand Zhou You. The human spirit expressed in art is deeper and more essential than the system, and the system reform is far from being able to turn over the permafrost layer of traditional psychology, if it does not go deep into this permafrost, the young tree of oriental modernization will not be able to take root of its own deep roots, and the young tree will be frozen to death in the slightest cold snap. Modern art and culture can play a subversive role in the long-standing conservative forbearance and forgiveness of the Oriental nation. Shui Hong felt that she underestimated Zhou You, and when she was indulging in family sorrow, Zhou You stretched out his hand to hold her to another higher level to look at personal misfortune. Her heart was full of gratitude to Zhou You.

"But...... I still can't rest assured that Ah Ni ah......" Shui Hong said hesitantly. "Perhaps...... Maybe I should go back to Suzhou to visit Wu, Ah Ni and my mother-in-law...... I'm going to go back quickly, you won't have to worry about me going back now......"

Zhou You pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Then you can decide for yourself." It's not that I won't let you go back to Suzhou, but I'm afraid that if you go back in the mentality just now, not only will you not be able to help Lao Wu and Ah Ni, but will cause trouble for them...... If you go back, you can go and see Ah Ni on my behalf, you know how much I want to see her, poor little girl. She needs the support of love right now, and you have to dispel her guilt and make sure to get her back on her feet. ”

That night, Zhou You accompanied Shui Hong to a nearby post office to make a long-distance call to Lao Wu. Shui Hong picked up the phone and cried silently, and after a while, she finally explained to Lao Wu intermittently that she wanted to go back to Suzhou to visit Ah Ni. There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds, and she was so anxious that she shouted for a long time before she heard Lao Wu's voice again. Completely unexpected, Lao Wu persuaded her in a tactful tone that she didn't have to go back to Suzhou again. The reason why he delayed informing her was because he was afraid that she would be involved in this grief again. Nearly two months have passed, and whether she comes back or not is useless. It's better for her to do her own thing with peace of mind.

Shui Hong said: "But I'm really not worried about Ah Ni, how can she do this desperate and sad look now?" You should still let her draw, that's half her life......"

Lao Wu's cold voice came from the other end of the microphone: "If she continues to draw, she will even put her whole life into it." I see, you don't have to worry about Anie's business. We just managed to calm her down, and as soon as you come back, she is about to relapse again, and she still wants to go with you, what will you do then? Please, let's keep our family clean for a few days......"

Shui Hong was choked by Lao Wu's words. She wanted to say something more, but Lao Wu seemed to have put down the phone, and a rapid beep came from the microphone.

On the way home, Shui Hong sobbed all the way, leaning on Zhou You's shoulder weakly, walking deep and shallow. She couldn't have imagined that Lao Wu would become so unkind after experiencing this heavy blow. This is not Lao Wu's usual style of life, he must have been confused by this series of painful torture. But since Lao Wu is against her going back to Suzhou, if she goes back without permission, she will definitely not get Lao Wu's careful cooperation. If you can't get it, it's really like what he said, Ah Ni will ask to leave that house with her mother, then she will have a hard time riding a tiger.

The spring evening breeze gently stirred Shui Hong's sideburns, but Shui Hong felt a chill, and the chill seeped into her bone marrow like an awl.

The nightmare that lasted all night made Rainbow wake up with a splitting headache. She pretended to sleep listlessly, for fear that she would wake up Zhou You when she turned over. But I felt that one of Zhou You's hands reached over warmly and gently wrapped around her neck.

Zhou You said to himself: "Hey, I remember, you forgot to tell Lao Wu on the phone that you agreed to give up the property right and are willing to give the small building to the Li family." You should write a letter directly to the Li family to comfort them. To be honest, I can't bear the house, that's where we first met and fell in love. But it doesn't matter, when we have the money in the future, we may be able to buy it back, right? ”

Seeing that Shui Hong was silent, Zhou You said again: "I think, today you might as well write another letter to Lao Wu, and talk to him about the reasons why you want to go back to Suzhou, maybe Lao Wu will figure it out slowly." ”

Shui Hong shook her head. In the sleepless night last night, she had figured out the real reason why Lao Wu opposed her going back - Ah Ni, who is now under pressure from all sides, although she seems to be following the rules, she must want to leave the cage-like mansion in her heart. And Lao Wu now only has one Ah Ni left, that is his last sustenance and hope, he will never allow Shui Hong to take away his only love again......

"I can't go back to Suzhou for the time being." Shui Hong let out a long sigh and sat up in her pajamas. "Even if I miss Ah Ni again, I have to think about Lao Wu. Zhou You, you're right, it seems that it's better if I don't go back, no matter what kind of pain, let us bear it ourselves. ”

Rainbow began to lie on the table and write letters. One by one, I wrote in one breath from morning to dark, and then I threw down the pen exhausted and fell into Zhou You's arms.

More than a week later, Ah Ni, Lao Wu's mother and Uncle Li all sent replies to Shui Hong through Lao Wu.

Mr. Wu said in the letter that his mood had gradually stabilized, and he was sorry for his blunt attitude on the phone that day. He has accepted Shui Hong's advice, and personally went to the alley to find neighbors and neighbors to help provide clues to solve the case, assist the public security organs to find out the criminals as soon as possible, and recover the stolen property and Zhou You's paintings, so that Ah Ni can alleviate the guilt in his heart. He told Shui Hong in the letter that Boss Bai gritted his teeth with hatred for the gang of gangsters who robbed homes and houses, and he said that it was fortunate that Shui Hong was gone, otherwise she might have been poisoned. Bai Honggen has donated 50,000 yuan to the public security bureau to handle the case, and once the case is solved, he will also reward the meritorious personnel who solve the case. Now that the work of solving the case is being carried out further, sooner or later those gangsters will fall into the legal net and hate Ah Xiu. His own life has returned to normal, and the early morning run, which has been interrupted for two months, is beginning to take place. It is estimated that after a while, you will be able to return to the operating table. Even the families of patients in the hospital are spontaneously helping to solve the case through various channels. and jointly asked the hospital leaders to let him go to work as soon as possible, and some patients even automatically took the risk of possible medical accidents. In the past few days, there have been constant phone calls at home, and his misfortune has begun to gain sympathy from society. He appeared in front of the society and the citizens as a doctor with excellent medical skills, and he felt that he was not alone. He needed to forget his pain on the tense operating table and get himself back on his feet. He also advised Shui Hong to cherish the love she had received even more, because the price of love was too great, and her love should add value to their careers.

But he still did not mention Shui Hong's return to Suzhou. Shui Hong felt that his judgment was right, his self-esteem did not allow him to accept Shui Hong's mercy, and he had to and could only defend the last oasis of Ah Ni.

The letter from the Li family also thanked Shui Hong for her sincere and kind condolences. The Li family has already gone through the most painful days with the comfort and help of the Wu family brothers. They also forgave Ah Ni, the eldest son of the Li family has already apologized to Ah Ni, the Wu and Li families take care of each other as before, often move around, and Lao Wu often invites his parents-in-law to the Wu family as guests. The transfer procedures of the property are being handled, they thank Shui Hong for her generous gift, and hope that Shui Hong will not forget Suzhou, and come back to see it when she has time, everyone remembers her ......

Although there were only a few words on Wu's mother's letter, she repeatedly begged Shui Hong to return to Wu's house to preside over the housekeeping, but Wu Lao's last wish before his death, so as to reorganize a complete family. and implicitly apologized to Shui Hong for the previous incident, and she repeatedly said that she actually loved her very much, just like her own daughter...... Shui Hong noticed that there was a postscript from Lao Wu in the lower left corner of the letter, which read: The old man's words, listen to them in vain, don't be serious.

Finally, there is Anie's letter. The thick pages are scribbled and messy, and there are tear stains between the lines. Her letter was like a long-suffocating volcano, pouring out her endless remorse, pain, depression and grievances to her mother. She said that her father no longer allowed her to write, and that she herself was afraid of color. She said that Beijing was so distant and confused for her, and the image of her big brother gradually became blurred in her memory. She said that she was working hard to make up for cultural classes, and she could no longer be admitted to the high school attached to the Academy of Fine Arts, and she did not dare to write letters to her eldest brother again...... She asked her mother when she would come back and if she could pick her up and let her leave the place, but she was afraid that her father would be too sad, so she didn't know what to do......

Shui Hong held Ah Ni's letter, read it and cried again, her heart was like a knife. How can she, as a mother, save her daughter? On one side of her is her beloved daughter, and on the other side is the beloved Zhou You, and she can't bear to give up either of them. The recombination of modern people's marriage and love is originally to seek happiness, but they will face the problem of psychological damage to their children in the process of integration, which can never be solved, and let the innocent children pay the heavy interest for themselves. Although Ah Ni scolded her big brother who didn't come to Suzhou during the winter vacation in the letter, Shui Hong felt that Ah Ni was still in love with her big brother in the depths of her heart. It's just that she can't love anymore and doesn't dare to love. Emotionally speaking, Shui Hong did not approve of Lao Wu letting Ah Ni give up learning painting from now on, and she was very sad that her daughter would lose the opportunity to try her skills in the field of art. But the balance of reason forced her to choose Lao Wu's "cryotherapy", and they had to let Ah Ni learn to forget, so that her battered nerves could be soothed and calmed for the time being, and then let her choose again when she was older.

Zhou You read Ah Ni's letter and burst into tears several times. He once generously said to Shui Hong that instead of keeping two unhappy families, it is better to reorganize a successful love. But at this moment, he himself was confused and blamed for the huge cost of putting this theory into practice. The thought of going to Suzhou to visit Ah Ni even flashed through his mind. He sat alone, drinking spicy Erguotou cup after cup, just wanting to get drunk and rest.

After a long time, Zhou You took Ah Ni's letter away from Shui Hong's hand and told her that he would also write a letter to Ah Ni, and not only would he not blame her for losing his painting, but also encourage her to get up bravely from the setbacks in life. Even if the eldest brother paid the tuition for Little Ani, the lost paintings can be painted again, but a person's devotion to art and beauty cannot be thrown away in any predicament......

Zhou You threw away the wine glass as he spoke, spread out the manuscript paper in front of the table and wrote. Shui Hong grabbed his pen and said, "Didn't I tell you, you wrote it in vain, and Lao Wu won't show your letter to Ah Ni." ”

Zhou You stubbornly took back the pen and said: "Then I will also write, I will tell her what I have in my heart, and keep her to read it again in the future, one day she will receive this letter!" ”

Shui Hong looked at Zhou You, who was busy these days, serving her like a patient, and her heart was sour, overflowing with pity. He was much thinner, his pale face looked anxious and haggard, and his psychological burden and mental pressure were perhaps heavier than hers. His love is a single-plank bridge, and he has walked on a single-plank bridge with no way back all his life. If she had pulled the log, he might have fallen into the abyss and never be able to climb again. When she first arrived in Beijing, she took over the switch of love and art that he solemnly handed her in his studio, which seemed to only have the function of opening, but did not set the button to close. She couldn't close it and push him back into the darkness. In the chaotic world, she has a daughter on one side and Zhou You on the other side, but she is no longer facing the contradiction between love and maternal love, but the conflict between maternal love and maternal love - Ah Ni and Zhou You are both her children, and she can't live without either one. Passionate artists are still attached to motherhood no matter what age they live, and God has given women such responsibilities and obligations, and how empty and pale those passionate calls for feminism seem.

In the past ten days, Shui Hong has experienced a thrilling roaming of the soul out of the body, and has returned to the world of two people who depend on each other. She gradually rose from the blow of this unexpected catastrophe. In this world, happy days may be fewer and fewer for her, or they may be more and more. But she still prefers to keep the density of each day that love gives her, and to live one day as if it were two days or three days......

Shui Hong pulled Zhou You to his side, untied his clothes for the first time, and kissed him. But no matter how Shui Hong used her beautiful body to shock Zhou You, the two of them still couldn't rush into the waves. Zhou You seems to have not healed from his pain, as if he had suddenly lost his gender. No matter how hard he tried, the skateboard always fell off again and again, failed again and again, and fell into the icy waters......

Zhou You lifted Shui Hong's head and said tiredly: "Forgive me, it's okay, as long as you don't leave me, I'll be fine." In a few days, I'll send you to the sky...... Shui Hong, talk to me for a while, I just want to hear you talk now, right in my ear...... Whisper, whisper......"

Shui Hong stuck to Zhou You's side and patted him gently. She felt that his single-plank bridge was crumbling, and it would take some time to pull him up, heal his wounds, and help him up the bridge.
