Chapter 148: They Will Definitely Come Back Alive
Bai He's calmness after learning that Zhu Dongfeng's whereabouts were unknown was beyond Fu Jinghuai and Bai Ziyi's imagination, Bai Ziyi also thought that Bai He was pretending to be strong and didn't want them to see how scared and sad he was, so he couldn't help but comfort him, while making Bai He cry out loud if he wanted to, and on the other hand, he said that Zhu Dongfeng's kind of person with gold in his life was not so easy to be taken away by God.
Fu Jinghuai was just looking at Bai He on the side, he was not good at words, and he didn't know what to say when he encountered this kind of thing, so he could only listen to Bai Ziyi chattering there.
"Brother, I'm not pretending to be fine, I'm really fine." Bai He hoarsely stopped Bai Ziyi calmly: "Didn't you say it too?" There is also a large number of men searching the sea, and I am sure that he will be found soon. ”
"I'm sure I'll find him soon." Bai Ziyi agreed, but in his heart he was thinking that this would be very difficult. After so many days of accident at sea, even if he could float on the surface of the sea in the early stage, he would gradually lose his physical strength in the later stage. The only hope now was that I wished Dongfeng could drift to a small island as they had imagined, so that he had a better chance of surviving.
Bai He nodded, and after being silent for a while, he looked up at him and Fu Jinghuai, and suddenly said, "Actually, I had a connection with him recently. ”
Fu Jinghuai didn't react, Bai Ziyi sighed, and asked when?
"It was about eight o'clock on the night of his accident." Bai He lowered his eyes and stared at his hand, and said softly: "I called him and asked him to meet at Ruby Western Restaurant at one o'clock in the afternoon the next day." ”
"Did he say yes?"
"Promised."
Bai Ziyi thought about it, felt strange, and said Then you just said that you haven't been in touch?
Bai He couldn't explain that he was a little angry when he heard his name because of Zhu Dongfeng's missed appointment, so he could only say, "That's because you always ask this when you see me, and I feel annoyed." ”
"We asked because ......" because we wanted to determine whether Bai He and Zhu Dongfeng's relationship was closer or more distant now, so that it was good to predict Bai He's reaction after hearing the news.
Of course, it is indeed easy to annoy people to ask this as soon as they meet, especially since Bai He broke up with the other party.
Bai Ziyi said: "Anyway, we came here to tell you, don't be impulsive." ”
What does Bai He say I am impulsive?
If Zhu Dongfeng is missing on land, she may be impulsive, but now that Zhu Dongfeng is on the sea, where can Bai He be impulsive?
"It's okay if you're not impulsive, just wait for news at home." Bai Ziyi and they were also very busy, so they got off the boat and rushed to Baihe, and they had to go to the police department to report the situation later, and then go to sea. They are also racing against time to wish the east wind.
Bai He advised: "You should also be more careful when you go to sea, the sea is not as good as the ground." ”
"Yes." Bai Ziyi looked at Fu Jinghuai, "My lord, let's go." ”
Fu Jinghuai nodded and glanced at Bai He deeply, "Let's go." ”
"Stay safe." Bai He followed the two to send them out, and after the car drove away, Bai He immediately went back to the house to change clothes.
Zhi looked at her nervously, "Miss, what are you going to do?" Didn't the eldest young master tell you not to be impulsive! ”
"What are you shouting so loudly for?" Bai He changed into simple and convenient pants and wore a women's shirt, "I don't have an impulse, I just want to go to the Zhu Mansion to have a look." ”
"Mr. Zhu is not there, what are you going to do?" I knew that I stepped forward to help her sort out the collar of her shirt, but I didn't quite understand her intentions.
Bai He stood in front of the mirror, the person in the mirror had a pointed chin and a face that was not very good-looking, but she didn't care, "Just go and take a look." Be back soon. ”
Knowing that she was not at ease, she said that she would go with her, and Bai He agreed if she had no choice.
When the two arrived at the Zhu Mansion in a rickshaw, the door of the mansion was closed, and no one came after the doorbell rang for a long time. Knowing that it may not be there, Bai He continued to press until he heard footsteps inside.
"What are you doing here?" It was Zhu Xing who came over, she frowned when she saw that it was Bai He, but she didn't have much disgust, she said, "Mr. is not at home." Then I wanted to close the door.
"I know he's not there." Bai He blocked the door, looked at Zhu Xing's face that couldn't hide the tiredness, and said lightly: "I just want to come and see if there is anything I can help." ”
As soon as she heard what she meant, Zhu Xing knew that she already knew that something had happened to Zhu Dongfeng, and she said sarcastically: "How can you help?" I can't even help. Go back. ”
Bai He didn't, and said that then you will invite me in for a cup of coffee.
Zhu Xing was already very annoyed, she was really in no mood to pay attention to Bai He, but Bai He had a tough attitude, as if she wouldn't stop if she wasn't let in today, Zhu Xing would do it before, but now Zhu Xing has lost even the idea of saying cruel words.
She was also afraid that the two of them would continue to be so entangled at the door, and when the reporter came again, they would make the headlines of the newspaper tomorrow.
"Come in." Zhu Xing frowned and opened the door impatiently, and when Bai He came in, she immediately closed the door.
"If it weren't for the fear of adding fuel to the fire, I would never let you in today!" Zhu Xing stared at Bai He and said cruel words.
Bai He didn't care what she said, she asked as she walked inside, "Is Mr. Anan here?" ”
"No, he went out to sea with his husband." Zhu Xing's voice was very low, but Bai He still heard it clearly, which means that Anan and Zhu Dongfeng disappeared together.
Bai He walked into the living room in silence, she hadn't been here for a long time, and now it seemed that nothing had changed, the only thing that had changed was people.
Zhu Xing poured her a cup of hot water and said that the coffee is okay, and you can make do with the boiled water.
Then she sat on the couch and didn't move.
Bai He noticed that there was a phone on the coffee table, and the receiver of the phone was taken down and set aside, apparently to prevent other calls from coming in.
"In the past few days, people have been calling to ask about Mr., and I don't know where I heard the news." I'm dying, and I have to find time to deal with these gossip spirits who have nothing to do, and the angry Zhu Xing caught a person and scolded him fiercely, and then directly let the phone be busy forever.
Zhu Xing glanced at Bai He: "Where did you know that?" ”
"My eldest brother told me."
"Your eldest brother ......" Oh yes, Zhu Xing forgot, Bai He's eldest brother is the deputy commander next to Fu Jinghuai, so since he told Bai He, "Are they back?" Did you find Mr.? ”
"If I found it, would I come here again?" Bai He asked rhetorically, shook his head and said that the others were still looking for it, they came back for something, and they would go to sea after they were done.
Zhu Xing said to himself: "It's been ten days, and I haven't found ...... yet."
Bai He looked at her and asked, "Why did they choose to go to sea that night?" "There is a certain risk in going to sea itself, and I wish Dongfeng to go to sea at night when the light is not good, I wish Dongfeng has always been sensible, and it is very good to put himself in danger, like this accident, Bai He really doesn't understand.
"Because there's something very important that has to be done." Zhu Xing couldn't tell Bai He what it was, but Zhu Xing said that before going to sea, the ship was equipped with enough rescue equipment and escape boats, as well as some dry food, just in case something happened to protect the people on board. But I don't know why, the result is like this.
Saying that, Zhu Xing actually shed tears, she felt a little ashamed to cry in front of Bai He, and immediately wiped it away with the back of her hand.
Bai He just didn't see it, and said calmly: "They will all return safely." Don't worry too much. ”
"I'm not worried, I'm just blaming myself." Zhu Xing sniffed, wiped the tears on his hands and said, "Because after you finished calling Mr., I said to Anan that it would be better for something to happen suddenly so that Mr. and you can't meet." At that time, Anan also said that I should hope for something good, because sudden is usually not a good thing. At the time, I didn't think so, but Mr. Midnight and Anan went to sea, and they haven't been heard from since. I think it's all my fault, I shouldn't have talked nonsense, or it wouldn't have happened. ”
Bai He didn't know what to say, so he could only look at her in silence.
"If you knew that's the case, you should have been honest and kept your mouth shut. Who the gentleman wants to meet is his own business, so what does it have to do with me? "Ranwen
Zhu Xing sobbed, "As long as Mr. is safe and healthy, isn't it okay to be happy?" Why should I care so much, why do I say things that are not nutritious? Why didn't I go to sea with me? Why ......"
As she spoke, she broke down and began to cry, covering her face with her hands to block the crying, and her shoulders trembled violently. In the past few days, Zhu Xing has been under a lot of pressure, she arranged all the servants to go home, and stayed in the mansion alone, in addition to completing Zhu Dongfeng's work every day, she also had to deal with reporters who came to the door and deal with harassing phone calls, and at the same time she was also worried about Zhu Dongfeng's safety.
Although she seemed to act in an orderly manner on the surface, she was actually very scared, often trembling and flustered, and several times she couldn't help but want to cry and forced herself to hold back her tears.
This time, I really couldn't hold it back, so I cried so presumptuously in front of Bai He.
Bai He made her cry for a while, and then took out her clean handkerchief, took a look at it, and asked her to take it to Zhu Xing.
She said: "What happened to them has nothing to do with what you said before. Even if you go to sea with you, it won't be possible to stop anything, maybe it will still happen, and then there will just be one more person missing. All we can do now is be patient. ”
Zhu Xing wiped her tears, she felt that she was too embarrassed, but Bai Heduo was calm and calm.
"You're not afraid?" After speaking, he took care of himself and said, "Yes, of course you are not afraid, you have broken up with your husband for so long, what are you afraid of?" ”
"It doesn't matter if we break up or not, how long we break up. Of course I'm afraid he'll never come back, but what's the use of me being scared now? Am I still sitting here waiting for news? If this happened before, Bai He might have panicked, but now that Bai He has been through too much, she already knows better than anyone what she should do at this moment.
Bai He looked at Zhu Xing's red and swollen eyes, and said indifferently: "Didn't the Zhu family say it?" To live to see people, to die to see corpses. Either way, he'll always come back. ”
"Sir won't die!" Zhu Xing firmly denied it.
Bai He said: "I also hope that he can be well, and they can all be well and come back alive." Because she still has something to tell Zhu Dongfeng, she still has a lot of things to say to Zhu Dongfeng.
Zhu Xing lowered his head gloomily and said softly, "They will definitely come back alive." ”
After sitting in the Zhu Mansion for more than an hour, Bai He got up and said goodbye after seeing that Zhu Xing's mood was better, she just wanted to come to Zhu Dongfeng's place to see, so that her heart could be more steady, and now that she has seen it, it is time to leave.
Zhu Xing's expression when he sent her to the door was not very natural, and he probably felt a little embarrassed after calming down, but Bai He didn't care so much, nodded to her and left slowly with Zhi.
Jiangnan Street is a wealthy area, and there are very few rickshaws that come here to solicit customers, so they can only stop the car when they get out of Jiangnan Street.
After walking a long way, she looked back, Bai He asked her what she was looking at, and she said, "Miss, does this Miss Zhuxing like Mr. Zhu?" ”
"See?"
"I used to feel a little bit of it, but this time I'm sure."
Bai He pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, she stopped a rickshaw and sat on it, and asked the driver to pull her to Pier No. 1.
Knowing this, he became nervous again, "Miss, what are you doing at Pier No. 1?" ”
"Didn't you say that? Feel free to go around. ”
But in fact, there is nothing to turn around at the No. 1 pier, there are still a large number of merchant ships docked at the dock, and a large number of workers are carrying goods from the ship, and the busy appearance is not different from usual.
Bai He even saw Zhu Jiangyun standing aside with a pen and paper to count the goods, he hadn't seen him for a long time, he became more and more aura, wearing glasses, wearing a robe and a horse coat, no longer looking like a young master, more like another Mr. Zhu.
Bai He asked Zhi to wait for her in front of the car for a while, and she herself walked behind Zhu Jiangyun and patted him, "Long time no see, Zhu Boss." ”
Zhu Jiangyun thought it was anyone, but when he looked back and saw that it was Bai He, he looked a little surprised: "It's been a long time." Why are you here? ”
"I'll just go for a walk." Bai He said.
Zhu Jiangyun nodded, asked the workers to stop and rest for a while, and went to the side to chat with Bai He. Neither of them mentioned Zhu Dongfeng, just chatted about some indifferent things very normally, and after chatting for a while, the workers continued to unload, Zhu Jiangyun went to count, and Bai He only said to let him get busy.
When she turned to leave, Zhu Jiangyun stared at her back for a long time, and finally didn't say anything.
Zhizhi helped Bai He get into the rickshaw and asked her if she was going home.
Bai He nodded, not wanting to say a word again.
For the next three days, Bai He continued his life, and the news that Zhu Dongfeng's whereabouts were unknown at sea was confirmed, and the rumors spread in Jinzhou City were stronger than any previous incident. Bai He went to the country to add incense, and he could hear the guests talking about it.
She is trying to restrain herself every day not to think too much, trying to do what she should do and wait patiently, but as soon as she is free, her thoughts will fly away, and she will think about how is Zhu Dongfeng now? Is it dead in the belly of a fish, or is it miserable but alive in peace?
But she would just stop herself at the thought of it, and then go on to do something else to divert her attention.
Every day that passed, Bai He's heart would sink down, but she didn't show anything, and even when she knew it, she felt that the young lady was too calm, too calm, and she would have been frightened if she had been herself.
But in fact, Bai He is ready to participate in Zhu Dongfeng's funeral.
Someone knocked on the door in the afternoon, Bai He's heart tightened, thinking that Bai Ziyi had come back from the sea again, and he hurriedly ran to open the door without waiting for him, but the door opened and saw Bai Yuewei and the third aunt.
"Yuewei, third aunt, how do you ...... Come on in. ”
"Fourth sister, I told the third aunt that I haven't come to you since you moved out of the house to live alone, so I'm going to come and see where you live today." Bai Yuewei said with a grin, as if she was really here to play, and she was still carrying canned fruit in her hand.
Bai He smiled and didn't say anything. She knew very well in her heart that they were worried about themselves after knowing about Zhu Dongfeng, so they came to see her in the name of coming to see the house.
"The house is very good, but it's a little older." Bai Yuewei looked in the house, "But I like such an old house, which has a very quaint atmosphere." ”
"This is the house that Master Fu bought, and I rented it." Bai He asked the third aunt to sit down and poured her a cup of tea, she asked Bai Yuewei what to drink, and if she drank coffee, she would let Zhi Zhi cook it.
Bai Yuewei shook her head, "Fourth sister, don't worry about me, I'll figure it out when I'm thirsty." ”
Knowing that she was carrying two plates of dim sum she made, Bai Yuewei reached out and pinched a piece and put it in her mouth before she put it on the table, and then she said with sparkling eyes: "It's delicious!" Sweet but not greasy, there is a fragrance of tea, and the filling inside is soft and glutinous. ”
"If it's delicious, Miss Xiao will eat more." Zhi said happily, "There are still two servings in the kitchen, I'll wrap them up later, and take them back to eat when the third aunt and the little lady leave." ”
"Uh-huh." Bai Yuewei nodded busily.
The third aunt pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Bai He, and said softly, "I've lost weight." "My chin is sharper than before, and my body is thinner.
Bai He said: "It's okay, I haven't lost much weight." ”
The third aunt sighed too much and said that she must eat well.
"Miss eats three meals a day, but I don't know why I'm getting thinner and thinner." Zhi whispered.
"I have a heavy heart, can I not lose weight?" The third aunt looked at Bai He too sadly, and said that you have to ensure your health first, otherwise you haven't waited for you to come back, and you will collapse again, so what can you do?
Bai He said lightly: "No." ”
Before Zhu Dongfeng's life and death are uncertain, Bai He will definitely not let himself fall.
The promise of 'not seeing or leaving' wishes Dongfeng can not be observed, and Baihe cannot be disobeyed.
