3. Ghost King Tide
"Yuanyasu, you really don't plan to stay here?" Wang Zixiang asked with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Well, it's decided, let's go back to my hometown to teach history in a middle school first, and then talk about it later." Zhao Yuankang smiled, still very free.
"That's a pity for your talent." Wang Zixiang was upset for him.
"Husband, can bend and stretch, as long as you work hard, there will always be a time to soar into the sky, besides, our Handan is a thousand-year-old capital, outstanding people, I believe, I will definitely make a difference."
Zhao Yuankang is still full of spirit and ambition.
"Okay, I wish you success, let's work together and wait for me in my hometown. Dry!! ”
……
"Yuankang, don't go, come back quickly! Motoyasu!! ”
"Shoko, what's wrong? Don't be afraid, I'm here. Liu Yu hugged the trembling Wang Zixiang tightly, and was speechless for a while.
This kid has been in a coma on the operating table for five hours, and he didn't snort, but now, he even shouted "Yuankang". It seems that this Zhao Yuankang is too heavy in his heart.
After Wang Zixiang's mood stabilized a little and drank some water, Liu Yu sat beside him and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong with Yuankang?" ”
At this time, the night was quieter, and there were only the two of them in the room, and the other bed was empty.
In the corridor in the distance, there was a nurse patrolling the room, and the sound of his heels hitting the ground was particularly crisp in the quiet hospital.
"We may never see Yuankang again." Wang Zixiang looked depressed, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"What? What the hell is going on?! Liu Yu was shocked and asked loudly.
He couldn't have imagined that the promising young man who was vigorous and sunny and confident, the brother who valued love and righteousness and dared to act, would leave them.
"That started with a trip between him and his girlfriend Li Ruoxi two years ago." Wang Zixiang lay on the bed, looking at the white scene in the room, he couldn't help but feel affected, and he forcibly controlled his grief and told the story.
Li Ruoxi and Zhao Yuankang were classmates in junior high school, and later Zhao Yuankang came to Qinhuangdao from university, and Li Ruoxi only studied as a kindergarten teacher in Shijiazhuang. But the two are not separated by time and distance like the plot of the TV series, and they still love very strongly.
When Zhao Yuankang graduated, he was favored by Professor Liu and could recommend him to Qinhuangdao No. 1 Middle School as a history teacher, but he gave up a better development opportunity for his girlfriend and returned to his hometown to teach.
The relationship between the two is also more stable, and two years ago, Zhao Yuankang was ready to make a romantic proposal to his girlfriend on her birthday.
His girlfriend's birthday is the eighteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, which is the tide watching day of the Qiantang River, and her name implies this wonder of the world.
In order to fulfill his girlfriend's wishes, he wanted to make a sincere vow to his beloved on that day, on the tide viewing platform, facing the rolling waves.
It was the summer vacation, and the two also longed for the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, so they started their travel plans more than a month in advance.
It's a pity that before the tide of the Qiantang River, he caught up with the fierce ghost king tide.
The Ghost King Tide, one month earlier than the tide of the Qiantang River, rises on July 18. Because July is the ghost month, this high tide is called the ghost king tide.
According to Zhao Yuankang's girlfriend Li Ruoxi's later description, the ghost king tide was really terrifying.
At first, the two of them wanted to visit Wuzhen after swimming in the West Lake, but they heard from local boatmen that the Ghost King Tide was more spectacular than the tide of the Qiantang River, and there were guardrails on the tide viewing platform and security personnel, so there would be no risk. Only then did I decide to stay for two days and leave after watching the ghost king tide.
On that day, the sky was overcast like iron, but it was not surprising that it rained in Jiangnan in summer.
The two came to a 30-meter-long tide-watching platform with a guardrail of 30 meters and a 3-meter-high guardrail, where more than 100 people had gathered to wait for the spectacular tide to strike.
At about half past one in the afternoon, I heard thunder rolling in the distance, like a galloping horse, although it was several miles away, it made people's hearts beat violently, as if it was about to be shattered.
The tide was constantly tumbling and surging, like boiling water, undulating and rushing, constantly lapping against the stone walls.
Black clouds cover the sun, and the wind howls, increasing the momentum of the ghost king's tide.
Although it was daytime, it also made some timid tourists shiver. Li Ruoxi was nestled in Zhao Yuankang's arms, feeling the strength and confidence of this man, but he was not much afraid.
After another moment, it was nearly two o'clock, and at last I could see the surging waves, rushing like a mountain and a sea.
The black waves rolled, like a black dragon going out to sea, rising out of thin air to a height of ten meters, like a super giant tank crushing it.
Like ten thousand ghosts asking for their lives, they show their hideous faces with their teeth and claws, making the heavens and the earth lose their color, and people and gods retreat.
At first, people cheered, taking pictures of the sky-high waves, and were proud to have witnessed such a wonder with their own eyes.
But then, the huge wave swept the sky and the earth with the momentum of swallowing the sky, instantly submerging the guardrail of the tide viewing platform, and splashing the sky with a black tide the size of copper coins, smashing into the crowd like stones.
More than 100 people turned around and ran to the exit, women and children screamed, men ran hard, and for a while, the security personnel were also caught off guard, so they could only open a safe passage and drag out more people.
Zhao Yuankang was closer to the tide, and seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly pushed Li Ruoxi forward. Finally came to the exit, the monstrous waves behind him chased him, Zhao Yuankang pushed Li Ruoxi through the safety exit with his hand, but he happened to be hit by a big wave on his back, plus the ground was full of water, his feet slipped, and he fell out of the tide viewing platform and fell into the extremely dangerous ghost king tide.
Li Ruoxi cried and wanted to jump down to find him, but was stopped by the security personnel and persuaded by the surrounding tourists. She was rescued.
She returned to the hotel where the two lived and cried for a long time, blaming herself for killing Zhao Yuankang for her willfulness. She flipped through the photo albums of the two of them in the past, and wept while reminiscing.
Inadvertently, I saw a photo of Zhao Yuankang and Wang Zixiang. She had also met Wang Zixiang twice, and knew that he was Zhao Yuankang's classmate and iron buddy, so she decided to tell Wang Zixiang the news of Zhao Yuankang's death.
She found Wang Zixiang's phone number in a notepad of Zhao Yuankang and cried to him about the incident, Wang Zixiang hurried over, comforted her, and asked for help from a nearby shipping company.
An old man with thirty years of experience at sea told him not to look for it, this person is nine times out of ten.
This ghost king tide contains countless ghosts who died in the water, driven by the power of the waves, and as they move forward, they continue to grow and resent, and they have the power to destroy mountains and rivers.
This powerful ghost power can be controlled by non-human beings. Even if there were Laoshan Taoist priests who planted spells to suppress ghosts on the peaks along the way, and every time they passed, the power was suppressed, but with the passage of time, the power of the spell weakened year by year. The momentum of the ghost king's counterattack is constantly increasing, judging from the situation this time, I am afraid that ten thousand ghosts and souls have been gathered. Even the power of the spell can't be suppressed.
Besides, this tide viewing platform is ten meters high from the water surface, and the underwater situation is even more unpredictable.
"Don't look for it, this baby is probably gone, you can go back." The old man sighed and left, leaving the crying Li Ruoxi and the confused Wang Zixiang.
When the two returned to Handan, Wang Zixiang sent her home, told her family what had happened, and asked them to take good care of Li Ruoxi, so they dared to leave silently.
He sat alone in front of the window, sleepless all night, unable to believe the fact that Zhao Yuankang was dead.
As long as he doesn't see the body, maybe he will come back to me, I want to live strongly, not only for myself, but also for Yuanyasu.
When he returned to Qinhuangdao, his heart became heavier, he became taciturn, and he rarely contacted Liu Yu and them, let alone mention Zhao Yuankang's whereabouts to others.
But at this class reunion, Wang Dequan, Heizi and others repeatedly pressed him to let him out, even if he was injured in many places and fought bloodily, he didn't care about anything, he died and went to find Yuankang.
After Wang Zixiang finished speaking, he took a puff of cigarette, and finally spit out the major events that had been pressed in his heart in the past two years, feeling an unprecedented relief.
"Shoko, what you said is true? Yuanyasu, is it really more auspicious? Liu Yu was a little incredulous, shook his head, and fell into painful thought.
Although Zhao Yuankang is not a student at the level of a scholar, he is also knowledgeable enough, wise but not pedantic, resolute but not extreme, and has quite excellent leadership skills.
He is a frank gentleman, he has a chivalrous heart and a warm heart, and he can stick a knife in his friend's ribs, but if he has something to do, he will carry it himself, and he doesn't want to trouble others.
I still remember an outing, he was cut on his leg by the grass in the mountains and forests, he just concealed it, covered the wound, and still talked and laughed to help Wei Yueru carry the luggage, and finally fell to the ground due to physical exhaustion.
Fortunately, he had already arrived in the town and was able to be sent to the hospital for treatment. It was from that time that Wei Yueru was a little close to him.
But he politely rejected the beauty of the beautiful class flower, just because he already had a girlfriend in his heart.
He will not betray, he will not deceive. On the contrary, it made Wei Yueru respect his character even more.
Everyone thinks that he is by no means a thing in the pool, and he will definitely become a world-famous figure.
Who knows, providence makes people, such a good person, but now life and death are uncertain, yin and yang are separated.
"Daewoo, don't be sad, people can't be resurrected after death, we still have to live well. Yuankang, look at us, we can't be ashamed. It's not early, so go to bed quickly. ”
Wang Zixiang patted him on the shoulder and comforted, he knew that Liu Yu was not used to this news, just like himself back then, this is also a test of life.
"By the way, Xiangzi, your injuries are no longer serious, you will be discharged from the hospital in two days, what are your plans."
"Wang Dequan, how are they on their side? Didn't pursue it? ”
"Hey, this is thanks to Sun Jiantang, this kid, don't look at the fight, but he is calm enough to deal with the problem, and there are two times, he persuaded Wang Dequan not to make a big fuss, after all, they are all classmates, and they have a greater impact on him. The matter was not pursued. ”
"However, this matter is not so easy to pass, he can't come openly, Kuroko they don't care what the rules are."
Liu Yu was a little worried about Wang Dequan's revenge, it was easy to dodge the open gun and the dark arrow was difficult to defend, for this guy with a strong sense of revenge, he couldn't be careless.
"Well, I want to go back to Handan, and by the way, inquire about Yuankang's whereabouts."
