Chapter 25: Love and Hate
"What is more important than good health?" Shaking his head, he asked Yan Xiaoying not to say any more, now the top priority is to heal the injuries in his body.
To be honest, I am still quite moved by what Yan Xiaoying has done.
Although she has a brutal personality on the surface, she is even a little unreasonable, similar to Old Lady Yan.
But in fact, she has a kind heart, which can be seen from the fact that she led the villagers up the mountain to help me stop the snake, chased the injured snake alone, and now still cares about others despite serious injuries.
It is true that some people cannot be judged by their character on the basis of mere appearances.
I think that for so many years, she has not been married, which should have something to do with her identity and personality.
After eating the Lark Pill, I asked Yan Xiaoying to close her eyes and rest for a while, now that the sky has brightened, the snake people and the snake group should retreat, and our situation is safe.
To give her a rest, I let her lie on my lap.
Soon, Yan Xiaoying fell asleep.
"You look like a couple right now." Huang Yuting chuckled beside her and said in a low voice.
I wonder if she was intentional or unintentional, or if she was testing our relationship?
"We are friends, lifelong friendship, she once used a rope to pull me back from the ghost gate."
I looked at Huang Yuting and smiled lightly: "It's rare to meet a true confidant and friend in life, don't always think about that aspect." Is there really no pure friendship between men and women? β
Huang Yuting sighed lightly, looked at me and said seriously, "Tianyan, we are also very good friends, aren't we?" β
I was silent, and I didn't know how to answer her words.
After a while, I looked at her and said, "Yes, friend." β
When I met her gaze, I saw a trace of resentment and sadness hidden in her eyes, and then my heart jerked.
"You must still be blaming me for being so ruthless in the first place."
Huang Yuting said softly: "At that time, when we just came out of society, we were under too much pressure, do you know? Feel free to post pictures of us together on the Friends Space, but I can't. I can't let my family know about what I'm doing with you, because they won't allow it. We can only be together secretly, every time we meet, it is like doing something wrong, do you know how much pressure I was at that time? I don't want to live like that anymore......"
"Why are you mentioning this now?" I said with a calm face: "The past is in the past, is it interesting for you to say this?" β
"I just feel sorry for you."
"There is no one who is sorry for anyone."
"I'm married now, and you're about to get married, wouldn't it be nice to find your own happiness?"
"You're married?"
Huang Yuting was surprised and looked at me with some disbelief.
"Yes, she was very nice to me, and I love her too." I said.
She ...... Is it pretty? β
"She is the best in my heart, unique, and irreplaceable."
"Your wife is so happy."
I looked at Huang Yuting and frowned: "Actually, you don't have to come here, you know that it was my village that had an accident, and we will meet." β
"I'm just here for work, and if I do it well, I can get promoted, and I've always had a big deal about my future, haven't I?"
"Indeed!"
I said lightly: "I remember you once said that no matter how deep your feelings are, it is difficult to live without material support, because because of me, you are full of unconfidence in your future life, so you decided to separate from me." β
"I said that we should work hard together, create our own families together, and make life better, rich people never get rich at the beginning, they also work hard step by step. I thought you would be able to ride through the ups and downs with me, but what about you? You conclude that our life will not be better in the future, and you say that you want to live alone, maybe it will be lonely, but it must be good. β
"Hehe, now that I think about it, it was really naΓ―ve at that time."
Although I tried my best to hide it, I still couldn't help the catharsis of my feelings at this time: "At that time, I begged you like a pug, let you give me time and give me a chance." But in the end I compromised, and you know why? Because I value that feeling very much, for you to be happy, happy, liberated, I can give up everything, I don't want to see your miserable life. β
"I've had a hard time all these years, and now I'm finally living a normal life, why are you torturing me?" By the end, my voice was a little hoarse.
I don't think I'm a half-hearted person, but I'm an emotional person.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you would be like this."
Huang Yuting lowered her head and said softly: "But this year, I have also had a bad time, he is not so good to me, and his parents do not agree to our marriage." We quarreled a lot, and every time I compromised, I loved him a lot, but he didn't seem to love me as much as I loved him. β
"What do you say about Lao Tzu?" My eyes were red and I yelled, "You said when we parted, we should never see each other!" β
"Okay, now you have successfully inserted a knife into my heart, what you said is not to complain to me, but to chop my heart piece by piece, and then ravage it repeatedly, do you really want to be so ruthless?"
Tears finally couldn't be controlled, sliding down my face, and my mood fluctuated greatly for a while.
"What you're going through now isn't what I was going through?"
I took a deep breath and looked at Huang Yuting, then looked down at Yan Xiaoying, who didn't know when she woke up, and the latter still had tears on her face.
"I'm sorry, I was emotional, I lost my temper." I said.
"I just want to see you, I miss you......" Huang Yuting raised her head and looked at me with a serious face: "I only know now how good you were to me, in fact, I told you before that it was fake that Chen Liming and I were about to get married."
"Forget it, I'm still a poor bastard, with nothing. Haven't you always hated people like that? I shook my head.
"But I know you still have me in your heart." Huang Yuting said.
"There was before, but not half a month ago, the reason why I was so excited just now was just to throw away the only resentment and anger in my heart, not because I had you in my heart."
Huang Yuting was lost, and Xiao Suo's small body looked a little pitiful.
I understand Huang Yuting's character, she is a strong woman, and saying such things to me proves that her life is not so good now.
But I can't accept her because I have Lin Jingmei.
By this time it was already dark, but it was dark beneath the ravine.
For some reason, I felt uncomfortable staying in this place, it felt like something was watching us from the shadows.
I saw that the time was almost up, and I comforted Huang Yuting a few words.
Then he helped Yan Xiaoying up.
"It's time for us to go."
Saying that, he was bent down to carry Yan Xiaoying.
"I can walk on my own." Yan Xiaoying rolled her eyes at me and said stubbornly.
"Don't be pushy."
I ignored Yan Xiaoying's refusal and carried her on my back, in fact, she was very weak now, and she didn't have the strength to struggle at all.
In this way, I carried Yan Xiaoying on my back and walked with Huang Yuting.
Half an hour later, we returned to the place where we had jumped off the cliff, there was nowhere to stay on either side of the inlet, we had to get out, we had to get into the water.
Putting Yan Xiaoying off her back, she suddenly sighed softly, staggered back a few steps, and then bent down to pick up something from the water, stunned.
I saw that what she had fished out of the water was a ball of cloth that seemed to be wrapped in something, but I couldn't see it clearly because of the angle.
"What's that?" I asked questions as I walked over.
However, when Yan Xiaoying saw me coming, she suddenly threw the cloth ball in a lush barren grass, and said with an unnatural expression: "It's just garbage washed down from the upstream, nothing." β
I naturally didn't believe it, because Xiao Bai, who was being held by Huang Yuting, was barking at the wild grass where she threw the cloth at this time, and she was extremely uneasy.
"They all say nothing...... Hurry up. β
Yan Xiaoying saw that I was going to walk towards the barren grass, and suddenly became fierce.
I felt inexplicable, and I was even more curious, what was it that made her react so much?
Although he had the heart to check, he saw that Yan Xiaoying's expression was not good, so he had to suppress his curiosity.
When the three of us swam across the deep water bay and came out of the ravine, we happened to see Lao Fei and Chen Liming rushing back to meet us.
The next group helped each other down the hill and returned to the house on the reservoir embankment.
The house was in chaos, Huang Yuting found her medicine box, treated Yan Xiaoying's wounds and prescribed a few packets of medicine, and the latter took the medicine and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
When the fat man and I cleaned up the house, I happened to see Chen Liming pull Huang Yuting aside and discuss something, and finally the two seemed to disagree and began to quarrel loudly.
Lao Fei and I heard a general meaning next to me, it turned out that Chen Liming wanted to go down the mountain to find the professor, and hoped that Huang Yuting would go with her. But Huang Yuting said that Yan Xiaoying's injuries were serious and she needed to stay and take care of him and let him go down the mountain alone.
In the end, Chen Liming went down the mountain with his luggage on his back, while Huang Yuting went into the room sullenly to take care of Yan Xiaoying.
"This little white face looks really fucking unpleasant, it's best to go, so you don't have to dangle in front of Lao Tzu."
Seeing Chen Liming going down the mountain, Lao Fei pursed his lips, suddenly pulled my clothes, and said with a smile: "Lao Yan, you can't help but be angry when you saw me slap that guy twice last night?" β
I was speechless for a while, knowing that his two slaps were deliberate.
It didn't matter to me, I changed the topic to Lao Fei and said, "Where do you say those snake people are hiding now?" β
"I don't know, but it's still on the mountain, I just don't know where it is." Old Fat groaned.
"Well, take a break after eating, and wait until noon for me and you to look around the reservoir, I have a hunch that the place where they are hiding must be not far from the reservoir. Take advantage of the fact that they can't get out during the day, just in time to catch them. β
"What's the use of grabbing? They can't be healed, and they can't be killed. The fat man said helplessly.
"That cannot be said, as the stewards of this mountain, it is our responsibility to find them out, and even if we can't cure them, we can hand them over to the professor. As for how to deal with it, that's their business. All in all, as long as what happens within our control, we can't ignore it. β
"Okay, the boss has spoken, what can I say?" Lao Fei spread his hands, looked at me and suddenly said, "But...... Actually, I think you should go to your wife for help, didn't the old woman say before, only your wife can settle this matter. β
