The time was close to two o'clock in the morning, Lin Yuan drank several cups of iced coffee in a row before he fell asleep, Zhao Qi sat on the sofa with a solemn face, his eyes stared at the door, and the night guard was numb when he saw his scalp.

On the table in front of the sofa were a few drunken coconuts and a few untouched king bananas.

The wind and rain subsided a lot, and occasionally it was as bright as day, and thunder struck into the deep sea. Lin Yuan's heart was shocked, and he was even more worried about Uncle Zhou, and he was also a little worried about the sea creatures over there.

The fish that was struck by lightning may be cooked, but Uncle Zhou must not be cooked.

There are many people in the lobby who are sitting on the sofa waiting like them, maybe they just want to see the follow-up development of things, or they may care about the safety of the three people outside.

There was a kind aunt who couldn't bear to walk to the door of the hotel and stretched her neck to look out, swept back and forth from left to right and found nothing, sighed and was about to sit back, suddenly a strong flash of light illuminated the sky and sea outside, followed by a deafening thunder.

The aunt was frightened, and stroked her heart and said, "My mother! Immediately someone stood up and said, "They're back!" “

Zhao Qi's eyes were like cheetahs at that moment, a large group of people slowly walked outside, and the crowd walked in faintly, taking advantage of the dawn that had not completely disappeared, he saw two pieces of black cloth that were being carried.

The policemen, dressed in black raincoats and looking inside and out, could see faces with the same looks on the glass doors, and they carried the bodies into the cars, some of them drove away, some of them stayed, and they entered the hotel.

The policeman came in and said, "The man and the woman are dead, fished out of the sea, and the man you are talking about has not yet been discovered." ”

Lin Yuan's heart relaxed a little, at least there was no Uncle Zhou who only left a heroic back in those two corpses.

It's a pity that the man and woman didn't become a couple in reality, but they became a new pair of cowherds and weaver girls in the sky.

Zhao Qi anxiously wanted to go out to find someone but was stopped by the police, he said: "Uncle Zhou's daughter can't live without her father." ”

"She's terminally ill, she's dying!"

There was a clatter, and the damn rain was falling again.

The room was deserted, and there were sunglasses that Uncle Zhou had been wearing on the bed, Zhao Qi curled up on the bed, holding the sunglasses in his hand and feeling complicated, he said: "He won't die, he has concerns." ”

Lin Yuan nodded lightly and asked, "How old is his daughter?" ”

"12 years old." Zhao Qi looked back at Lin Yuan and said, "He will definitely not die." ”

The two of them began to be silent, silent all night, and early the next morning, someone from Zhao Qi's family came to take them away, and said: "You don't have to worry about Zhou Zehao's affairs, someone will take care of it." ”

Everything outside was a mess, and it was completely different when it came, the tide had just receded, and the beach was full of dead crabs and shells rushing up, and the branches that appeared from time to time almost made Lin Yuan fall into the mud.

There were many search and rescue boats operating in the shallow sea, they were trying to salvage Zhou Zehao's body, Zhao Qi saw that he was unhappy in his eyes, and shouted over there without any hesitation: "Don't waste your efforts!" Uncle Zhou can swim! He won't be in the sea! “

No one in the search and rescue team heard him, and a bodyguard beside him sighed and said, "Young Master, go back." ”

He turned his gaze and said in a low voice: "Xiaorui is dying." ”

Zhao Qi glanced at the bodyguard in horror, and then ran up against the wind. The back is the same as yesterday's Zhou Zehao, and it is the most unhesitating back that Lin Yuan has seen so far.

There was hardly anyone walking back and forth in the corridors of the wards, and occasionally one or two nurses passed by in a hurry, and the doors of each ward were closed, and the atmosphere was very depressing, and the people who lived here seemed to be all patients with serious conditions.

The bodyguard took Zhao Qi and Lin Yuan to push open the door of a VIP luxury ward, the room was very warmly furnished, there were cartoon stickers and plush dolls everywhere, Zhao Qi was stunned, and the bodyguard said softly: "It's all arranged by Zhao Dong." ”

Zhao Qi's eyes were a little red, he walked lightly to the side of the bed, and put on a little girl with a pale face, with a tube in her nose and throat, her eyes slightly closed, and her expression was very painful.

The girl's eyebrows and hair had disappeared, and Lin Yuan was very worried about it, turned around to look out the window, and forced himself not to think about it.

The smell of disinfectant in the ward was strong, at least much stronger than outside.

Sensing that someone was coming, the girl said softly, "Daddy." She tried her best to open her eyes, and when she saw that it was not, she was a little lost, but she still smiled with difficulty and shouted sweetly: "Brother Qi." ”

Zhao Qi smiled worriedly, sat on the edge of the girl's bed and gently scratched the bridge of her nose, and said, "Your father is busy making money, and he will come to see you in a few days." ”

The bodyguard turned around and walked out of the ward lightly, Lin Yuan turned his back to look at the stickers on the wall, the room was arranged like this, he should be afraid that the girl would be afraid, right?

"Thank you, Brother Qi, for coming to see me, but I can't get out of bed and play with you anymore." Xiaorui closed her eyes weakly and said, "I don't have any strength." ”

Zhao Qi bit his lip, forcibly held back his tears, and said after a while: "Then wait for Xiaorui to get better and then play with me, I'll take you to Hainan, where there is the sea and coconuts, it's fun." ”

The girl smiled slightly and said, "Okay...... Good. ”

After a while, she said, "Dad...... Daddy also went to ......"

Out of the ward, a doctor came up from the nurse's station, looked through the window, and said, "How is the child?" ”

Zhao Qi shed tears and shook his head: "I have no strength to say a few words." ”

He leaned his legs against the wall, his hands on his knees, and Lin Yuan didn't know what to say, so he had to gently pat him on the back to show comfort.

The doctor said in a deep voice: "I was transferred out of the ICU only the day before yesterday...... The hospital's suggestion was to take her home, let her play for two more days, look at the flowers and plants, and walk happily. ”

She ...... Will she live for two days? Zhao Qi didn't dare to cry, so he covered his mouth with his hand and cried.

"If you're lucky, you'll live for five days." The doctor added: "Up to five days." “

Out of the hospital, Zhao Qi couldn't hold on any longer, squatting on the ground and breaking down and crying like a child who had been robbed of his toy, he shouted: "Xiaorui is only 12 years old!" She's only 12 years old! “

Someone on the side of the road pointed and retreated several meters, and they suspected that Zhao Qi was going crazy.

Lin Yuan also felt that he was going crazy, patted Zhao Qi on the back and said, "She's very important to you, right?" “

Zhao Qi didn't answer him, just hung his head and slammed the ground, saying, "Do you know how sensible she is?" She was dying of pain, and she didn't call Uncle Zhou to come over with her......"

"It's all fate." Lin Yuan also squatted down, and his heart suddenly hurt.

Zhao Qi didn't show up for a few days, and he didn't call Lin Yuan to come out to play, this trip to Hainan was a loss, he suddenly didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to hide at home, even if he could only watch TV.

A week later, Zhao Qi suddenly called, his tone didn't sound sad, just said a little flatly: "Xiaorui left, and called Dad when he left." ”

Lin Yuan turned off the TV, was silent for a while, and said, "Has Uncle Zhou found it?" ”

"No, it's still looking over there, my dad spent a lot of money to hire a professional search and rescue team, even if it's a body, he has to find it."

"It's going to be fine."

"Hmm......" Zhao Qi hung up the phone.

Lin Yuan suddenly found that he didn't know when he actually lifted the back cover of the remote control, and the two batteries were pinched in his hands, he smiled bitterly, and then lowered his head to assemble, and the phone rang again, this time it was Liu Haowen's.

"Brother, how are you doing?" Liu Haowen was very enthusiastic over there.

"It's not going well, what about you?"

"I'm okay, I'm going to go to Brother Hui's hometown to play recently, he said that he asked you all to come, are you interested?"

After thinking about it, Lin Yuan replied: "Go, I'll ask Zhao Qi." ”

Zhao Qi should need to relax more than him, the scenery of the countryside is just right, the vast fields will relax the mood, and facing the sea is a completely different feeling.

Early in the morning of the third day, the three of them met at the gate of the train station, Liu Haowen bought three cups of soy milk and shared a cup of it, and took out a bag of xiaolongbao from his schoolbag, took it out and ate it while walking, and then remembered to ask Lin Yuan if he ate it, Lin Yuan was not polite, he took one when he saw that there was not much left, and asked Zhao Qi if he ate it, Zhao Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't eat." ”

While waiting for the bus, Zhao Qi wiped his mouth and asked, "Is there any paper?" ”

Lin Yuan took one out of his backpack, and Liu Haowen didn't save face for Zhao Qi at all: "Didn't you not eat it?" ”

Zhao Qi wiped his mouth and glared at him: "You didn't say it was delicious." ”

The waiting hall was full of people, three people were squeezed into two seats, Lin Yuan was so uncomfortable that he gave up the seat to them, Liu Haowen wanted to sleep moistly, Lin Yuan took out the ticket and looked at it: "We seem to be almost too late." “

The three of them hurriedly ran all the way, and finally boarded the train without danger, Zhao Qi asked at the first time: "Is Zhao Fatzi's hometown fun?" ”

"There must be a lot of bare-bottomed kids this season, and you can run out into the river with them for a swim." Liu Haowen hugged his schoolbag and leaned his head against the window.

The train started slowly, the speed was getting faster and faster, Zhao Qi looked at the rapidly changing scenery outside and couldn't help but sigh: "It's more interesting than taking a plane." ”

Liu Haowen fell asleep by the window, Zhao Qi was tired of watching the scenery and felt bored, and Lin Yuan on the right of Lala whispered: "Look at it!" ”

"See what?" Lin Yuan looked at it in the direction Zhao Qi pointed out, it was a little girl, she was disappointed, she turned her head and said disdainfully: "Hello this?" ”

Zhao Qi was so angry that he wanted to kill Lin Yuan but couldn't use his fists and kicks, so he was forced to endure the slander and explained loudly: "That girl is very similar to Xiaorui, and Xiaorui is like this when she has hair." ”

"At that time, she came to my house to play, let me play the prince of pleasure, she played the little demon fairy, I pretended not to beat her, she laughed very happily."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "She went to Demon Immortal Castle. “

Zhao Qi closed his eyes, the misfortunes of Xiaorui and Uncle Zhou were always in his mind, and Lin Yuan began to really feel the unfairness of the world.

Demon Immortal Castle is good, but Xiaorui doesn't necessarily want to go.

Life is not up to man, it is always mandatory.

The train traveled for more than ten hours and finally arrived at the station, which was still some distance from Zhao Changhui's hometown, Lin Yuan and they came out of the station, and a few people with thieves and eyebrows walked over, and as soon as they met, they rubbed their hands and said enthusiastically: "Brother is not in the car?" ”

Zhao Qi covered his aching buttocks: "How much does it cost to go to Nanpi?" ”

An older driver squeezed at the front and said with a smile: "It's not expensive, seeing that the three of you are students, you will charge 200, and one person will charge more than 60." ”

Liu Haowen covered his sore head and exclaimed: "It's so expensive!" At the same time, Zhao Qi also exclaimed: "It's so cheap!" ”

The driver looked left and right and didn't know who to listen to, but he was struggling to listen and heard the shouter say: "I organized it this time, I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up, you just have to follow." ”

How could Zhao Qi's dignified son of a wealthy family endure the matter of money, and waved his arm: "Shut up, I'll dig it!" ”

The driver looked at Zhao Qi with a smile, accepted the three brand-new red hairy grandfathers he took out of his wallet, and said, "Little brother, you give an extra hundred." "Then I wanted to give a hundred back.

Zhao Qi shook his head and refused, his attitude was understated: "Tip." ”

The driver was flattered and accepted the money, thanked him again and again, reached out and took the initiative to help Zhao Qi take the backpack and then turned around to lead the way.

The next few drivers saw that the business seemed to be negotiated and did not go up to try again, and at the same time they were envious and decisively turned their heads to find other targets.

After walking a few steps, a woman suddenly shouted behind me: "Why are you so expensive, I won't sit down, I'll wait for my man to pick it up." “

Lin Yuan looked back and found that it was the little girl who Zhao Qi said looked like Xiaorui on the train, and next to her was a woman who was bargaining with the black driver.

The little girl hugged her mother's waist tightly, and her expression was very timid, thinking that it was the driver's fierce expression that frightened her.

Zhao Qi also stopped and looked back, and the driver who led them said: "Alas, that kid is cheating people again, I'll teach him a lesson when I go back, let's go first, but don't delay your business." ”

Zhao Qi frowned and asked, "Does he often cheat people?" ”

The driver sighed again and said, "Hey, no way, he has three children waiting to eat!" ”

Zhao Qi didn't speak, Lin Yuan guessed that he must be righteous and squandered money, and sure enough, within a moment, Zhao Qi began to raise his feet and walk there, rubbing his ass as he walked.

He took out a thick wad of bills from his wallet and threw it at the woman's hand, then squatted down and said a few words to the little girl with a smile before turning back, ignoring the dazed woman.

Walk in the clouds and water, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and shine brightly.

Liu Haowen was stunned and gave a thumbs up: "Live Lei Feng!" ”

On Wuling Hongguang, Lin Yuan asked, "What did you say to that little girl?" ”

Zhao Qi said: "Live well." ”
