After sitting down, he asked Gao Cheng one after another, "Brother, what do you call it?" Gao Cheng didn't ignore him this time, and raised his eyes, "Chu Gaocheng." Glancing to the side one after another, Luo Jinghan also reported his name. Then I saw that I took the teapot one after another and filled the cups on the table one by one, and picked up a cup, "That's it, just now I didn't know each other, but now that the misunderstanding has been solved, let's drink this cup with tea instead of wine, how about this matter?" ”

Two seconds later, Gao Cheng picked up the cup, Luo Jinghan also picked up the cup when he saw this, and the three of them clinked the cups and drank them separately. Seeing this, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was a temporary harmony on the surface or a defensiveness against the other party behind the scenes, at least the atmosphere was not so tense, and their faces eased and discussed the issue of night accommodation in a deliberate manner.

In the end, it was decided that they would all spend one night in this acupuncture and Chinese medicine hall, because although there are not many bedrooms in this place, there are several acupuncture and moxibustion physiotherapy rooms, which is enough to accommodate such people. But I know that there is something to be agreed upon, and that it is better for no one to leave this place without fully trusting each other.

It was about eight o'clock in the evening, and Liang Zheng and Zhang Ji rushed over together. At this time, Gao Cheng and Luo Jinghan were alone in the same room, and I knew that they were avoiding their ears and eyes to observe the movements on Qiu Yuebai's side. And I sat in the foyer with Xu Jiu, Succession, and the madman, listening to their bickering. When I entered the door, Zhang Ji's eyes swept towards me, swept me up and down, and then approached, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you okay?" ”

Looking up slightly, the dim light hit above his head, cold and solemn. I shook my head and said, "It's fine." "I wanted to thank him again for not giving up looking for me for so many days. But considering that the madman is sitting next to him, it can be said that it is ...... stared at me with fierce eyes, but still gave up.

Zhang Ji's eyes flickered: "What about him?" The corners of my eyebrows twitched, knowing that he had learned from the phone that Gao Cheng was here. I didn't tell anyone what happened on the island, but I guess Zhang Ji probably knew that Gao Cheng was not dead. However, he has always had a cold face, and it is difficult to get some clues from his face.

"On the other side, I'll take you there."

Zhang Ji and Gao Cheng can't be regarded as old friends, but after all, they have worked together. On Huya Mountain, the two should have established a cooperative relationship, so Zhang Jixian lurked in the shadows. Some things are easy to understand when you think about them in hindsight. It is impossible for Zhang Ji to follow us up the mountain while hiding in Xu Jianglun's car in the community, because Xu Jianglun is so careful, and he is a super high psychology academic, and his ability to capture details is no worse than Gao Cheng's, if there is someone in the trunk of the car, he can definitely be found by him at the first time.

Therefore, Zhang Ji hid in the carriage, it could only be that when I deliberately rolled down the cliff and tore my face with Xu Jianglun, I was trying to eavesdrop on our conversation nearby, and wait for an opportunity. That Zhang Jineng had the foresight to hide on Tiger Cliff Mountain in advance, and he must have been arranged by Gao Cheng. At this point in the analysis, it is clear that Zhang Ji has actually reached a cooperative relationship with Gao Cheng a long time ago, and the two of them acted together in the hospital.

Walking to the door, I knocked on the door twice, and Luo Jinghan asked inside the door, "Who?" ”

I replied, "Zhang Ji is here." After a pause of two seconds, the door was pulled open from the inside, Luo Jinghan stood inside the door and looked at Zhang Ji to get out of the way, and after the people walked in, he asked me: "Xiao Xia, don't you come in?" I glanced at Gao Cheng and shook my head slightly: "You guys talk, I'll just sit outside, something calls me." "I don't know why, I feel so confused about what they are discussing that I don't have the heart to pay attention to.

When I turned around and walked to the front hall, I saw Xu Jiu leaning against the wall alone, and when I heard my footsteps, I looked sideways, and my half-short hair hung down on my shoulders, which was softer than when I first met. She walked up to me, put her hand behind her, and smiled lightly, "The men are all talking, let's get together." "I knew she had something to say to me, so I didn't refuse.

Entering a room on the left, there was only one physiotherapy bed in a space of more than ten square meters, and the two sat on the bed.

Xu Jiu got straight to the point and asked, "There are still big problems between you and Chu Gaocheng, right?" I was stunned and wanted to deny it, but I couldn't make a sound under those clear eyes. She chuckled and asked, "Do you feel confused, shaken, and distrustful?" ”

I was stunned, she almost said all my feelings, and I was suspicious, but I heard her say: "It's not that I can get a glimpse of your psychology, but I have also experienced you at this stage." As I told you just now, the formation of tacit understanding lies in experience, but there is such a process when experiencing these things, from disbelief to confusion to gradual trust, and finally you will understand it with a look from the other party. You and Chu Gaocheng are still in the initial stage, right? ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this, and to be honest, I couldn't even tell what stage I was in. Squinting his eyes and fixing on a certain point, he whispered: "I met him more than a year ago, I don't know what to say, it seems that we have been doing a dead cycle all along. As you said, from distrustful detection to confusion, to gradual trust, there was a time when I thought I had caught his mind and could understand his thinking, but it was just a time to turn around, and everything was overturned. God told me in reality that it was just an ivory tower he built for me, and before the sun rises, my dreams will be scattered. ”

I paused, couldn't hear any movement next to me, and turned my eyes. Seeing pity in those clear eyes, she said, "It seems that I misread your emotions, and if so, I can only say that he is not suitable for you." If you don't hit the south wall and don't look back, you might as well treat him as a south wall, and now that you have experienced the pain once, then turn your head and look at the people around you. Like, madmen. She smiled, "It's not that I'm boasting, the image of a madman may not be as good as Chu Gaocheng, and his ability may not be as high as his, but he is better than a single person, you don't need to spend too much effort to guess, in fact, it's good to get along with people simply." ”

I smiled lightly at Xu Jiu's matchmaking again, then looked at her fixedly, and muttered softly to her lips, loud enough for her to hear: "But do you know? If he was the south wall, I would have hit it again, even though my head was bleeding from the head. It hurts, it's not that I can't remember, but I just can't control it. You say that I am like this, how can I accept another person? ”

Pity appeared in Xu Jiu's eyes, and she shook her head: "You are hopeless." ”

I couldn't help but laugh out loud, but my mouth was full of bitterness, it was hopeless. Xu Jiu leaned back and lay on the bed, his feet dangling on the edge of the bed, "Xia Zhu, you are very similar to a person." I turned to her sideways and looked at her suspiciously. On the contrary, she didn't look at me, her eyes fell on the ceiling above, and she whispered, "Whether it's feelings or anything else." She is my good friend, her name is Cheng Xiao. It was also the love of an elusive man, and after several tribulations, finally they are now together and have a son. Do you know what she got to where she is today? I asked, "By what?" ”

Xu Jiuji rolled his eyes to look at me, "Insist." Since there is no hope, then stay the course. You must have never seen the loneliness of a person walking through thousands of mountains and rivers looking for people alone under the premise of hopelessness. In the past, whenever I had a hurdle with one after another, I would think about her, and that hurdle would pass, because at least this person was by my side, what else could I not let go? ”

"She's ......"

"As I just said, Cheng Xiao, who is very similar to you. Want to get to know her? Let's give her a call, it's been a long time. ”

On a whim, Xu Jiu sat up, took out his mobile phone and began to dial, only to ring a few times and then picked it up, because Xu Jiu pressed the speakerphone button, so a low male voice came from there first: "Something?" ”

Inexplicably, my heart skipped half a beat. I frowned, obviously this voice was unfamiliar and unheard, where did this heart rate fluctuate for no reason?

Xu Jiu paused, "I'll look for Cheng Xiao." Notice a hint of nervousness and respect in her expression, and her expression softened when a clearly smiling female voice came from the other end. The subtlety of observing people's facial expressions has become almost an instinctive reaction of mine.

"Yanan, why did you think of calling me? I just talked to him about you and succession. ”

I was slightly surprised, judging from this voice, Cheng Xiao should also be a young girl, but why is she called Xu Jiuyanan? Xu Jiu chatted for a few sentences and then turned the topic to me: "I would like to introduce you to a friend, her name is Xia Zhu, and I just talked to her about you." She handed me her phone and motioned for me to speak. Hello, I'm Xia Zhu. ”

"Poof!" A laugh came from the other side, "Why are you so serious?" My name is Cheng Xiao, Yanan should have told you. ”

I hummed softly, hesitated and asked, "Why did you call her Yanan?" ”

Cheng Xiao replied with a smile: "You have to ask her about this." Xu Jiu explained on the side: "It's nothing, it's just that I had two identities before, and I used the name Yanan when I went out to do things." "I'm not a very sociable person, especially since the gallery has been closed in the past year, and the people I come into contact with are colleagues in the bureau and documents, so I don't know how to communicate next.

Fortunately, Xu Jiu didn't force me, and Wu Zi chatted with Cheng Xiao again, and he didn't shy away from taboos, and he really regarded me as a friend. But I wouldn't be naïve to think that two people who have only met each other can become best friends at first sight. So when the phone was connected, Xu Jiu first introduced me to Cheng Xiao, and on another level, he also told me that there was still me present, and the conversation between the two would not reveal too much important information.

I was a little distracted, but suddenly I heard Xu Jiu ask, "Have you had any dreams and predictions recently?" Rolling his eyes in surprise, this is asking Cheng Xiao? Predicting the future? Cheng Xiao's voice penetrated: "Occasionally, but it's not much sense." You also know that I am locked up in Sioux City right now, and the whole person who is idle is about to get moldy. By the way, where are you? Shall I sneak over to you guys? ”

Xu Jiu complained: "Come on." With your two clicks, the gate of Sioux City was arrested before it was estimated. ”

"Yanan, you can't look down on me like that. Hey? What about Xia Zhu, why hasn't he spoken? ”

Suddenly being named, Xu Jiu looked at me. I blurted out, "Do you dream a lot?" Cheng Xiao replied with a smile: "It used to be, but now it is rare." After a pause, he asked rhetorically, "What?" Do you often dream? ”

I was silent and said softly, "Occasionally." I just heard you talk about dream prophecy, is there such a thing? ”

"It's not a prophecy, but it's just that you can get a reminder in advance and see something that may happen, which is not necessarily accurate." <
