That night, it rained again overnight.

Zhu Shan woke up early in the morning, listening to the sound of rain and thinking about her thoughts.

It wasn't until noon that the weather cleared up that she packed up and went out with her camera.

Zhu Shan found that the village was mostly populated by old people and children, and there were basically no young people.

She interviewed two elderly people who could barely speak Mandarin, and only then did she know that since education gradually improved, the young people in the village saw the outside world, and they did not want to live in this place where transportation was unfavorable and communication was inconvenient.

Actually, that's not a bad thing.

But the old man didn't understand, thinking that the ancestors of several generations could stay here, why not now.

In the end, the old man began to scold, but Zhu Shan didn't understand.

Zhu Shan finally went to the village committee to interview the village chief.

The village chief is having a meeting with the leaders of the Poverty Alleviation Office.

It is said to be a meeting, but in fact, it is to sit together and talk about the government's future support for this village.

Zhu Shan took a few photos, then lifted a chair and listened seriously.

From building roads to building houses, from adding new schools to dispatching volunteer teachers......

In the evening, before the sun had set, a strong wind blew.

It turns out that the wind in the mountains howls.

After a while, large raindrops fell down.

The rain was even more ferocious than in previous days.

At four o'clock in the morning, the rain subsided, Zuo Zhen called, saying that the embankment of the upper river had collapsed, and it was estimated that the flood would come in two hours, which would block the road into the village.

Zhu Shan and Gao Xingxing braved the cool drizzle to send the convenient raincoats over.

The village chief, dressed in a robe, instructed them to lift sandbags from their single-wheeled bucket trucks and stack them horizontally on the main road.

The two girls couldn't do this kind of hard work, so they delivered the raincoat and were driven back by the village chief.

Despite wearing a raincoat, she was still soaking wet, and Zhu Shan's mobile phone got into the water and turned off the screen directly.

Back at Grandma Rong's house, Yingying was standing in the small. Waiting for them outside the bungalow.

Her short, thin body looked even thinner in the dark, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Zhu Shan heard that she was going to college next month, but she looked like a junior high school student.

Zhu Shan stepped forward: "Come in, it's so cold, what are you doing when you get up?"

Yingying didn't go back to the room, but prepared hot water for the two who were shivering from the cold.

Zhu Shan and Gao Xingxing thanked each other and held the hot water in their hands.

Yingying looked at Gao Xingxing: "By the way, sister, you didn't bring your mobile phone, the phone kept ringing just now."

Gao Xingxing immediately got up and went to the bedside to get his mobile phone and apologized to Yingying: "I just said why did you wake up, it was my mobile phone that disturbed you, right? I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring it."

Indeed, Gao Xingxing's mobile phone ringtone is a beautiful soprano humming, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as deafening.

Zhu Shan used to have breakfast on the first floor of the hotel in the town when she heard the phone ringing in her room on the second floor.

Zhu Shan took a sip of hot water: "It's right not to bring it, my phone is flooded, and I don't dare to turn it on at all now."

After speaking, Zhu Shan took a tissue, tore it off, rolled it into small thin strips, and began to wipe the water stains from the small holes of the mobile phone.

Suddenly, the water cup in Gao Xingxing's hand fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.

There was a thunderclap outside, and Gao Xingxing muttered into his mobile phone as if he hadn't heard it: "... Yes......"

She stood up and spun around twice, walked to the window and shook her phone: "Why is there no signal?"

Zhu Shan sensed that something was wrong with her, and stepped forward to care, "Sister Xingxing, what's wrong with you?"

Gao Xingxing put the phone screen in front of Zhu Shan, the fox's eyes lit up, and he was very excited: "Look, this is a call! Yes!"

Zhu Shan glanced at it, and the place of belonging showed that it was indeed true, but she didn't understand why Gao Xingxing was so excited.

Without waiting for Zhu Shan to ask, Gao Xingxing began to pack his things.

Gao Xingxing: "I want to go back to Yuhe."

Zhu Shan saw Gao Xingxing's quick movements, not like a joke, and stepped forward to grab her: "Sister Xingxing, what are you doing? For a phone call?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Shan was a little anxious, and looked at the dark mountains and forests outside the window: "It's just an inexplicable missed call, and I think that number is very similar to a virtual number, like a scam!" Besides, what's going on with this situation now?"

Gao Xingxing's hand cleaned up without stopping: "There is no car anyway, anyway, they are all walking, I am walking now, it is the same."

"Have you forgotten that the flood is coming?"

"Wasn't the main road good just now?" Gao Xingxing put the bag on his back and looked at Yingying on the side, his tone was endlessly excited, "Yingying, can you give this rain boot to my sister?"

She didn't wait for Yingying to speak, and had already walked outside the house.

Zhu Shan was so anxious that she hugged the person from the side: "Are you crazy? This won't work! It's too dangerous!"

Gao Xingxing tilted her head slightly, her bright fox eyes were wrapped in rich tears, and she couldn't stop rolling out in the next second.

She couldn't hold her cheek and smashed it directly on her coat.

Zhu Shan was frightened by her tears.

Although she didn't know what happened to her or what the reason for doing so, she couldn't let Gao Xingxing do such a dangerous thing.

Zhu Shan pursed the corners of her mouth, her tone slowed down, and she tried to reason: "Sister Xingxing, calm down! Think for yourself, how do you go about this situation?"

"Can't calm down! He called me!" Gao Xingxing shook his head helplessly, tears thrown away.

Zhu Shan turned her head to look at Yingying, who was stunned: "Yingying, you go back to sleep first and close the door!"

Yingying answered, stood at the door and looked at Gao Xingxing worriedly, and closed the door and went out after a few seconds.

Zhu Shan dragged Gao Xingxing to the bed.

Gao Xingxing lowered his eyes, let her drag her in despair, shrugged her shoulders, and couldn't stop crying.

Zhu Shan pressed the person on the bed and sat down, then squatted in front of her and held her hand: "Sister Xingxing, you are not an unreasonable person, you can't be like this."

A burst of white light outside the window reflected Gao Xingxing's face miserably.

Then, there was another muffled thunderclap.

The rain is heavy again.

The rain from the eaves is constantly lined.

Gao Xingxing's tears also continued.

Zhu Shan wiped her tears with her small hand and comforted: "Sister Xingxing, don't worry, when the flood is over, we will go back, maybe there will be a signal tomorrow, don't worry."

Gao Xingxing cried, "I've been waiting for four months... I've been waiting for four months......

"I've been waiting for four months, not missing a day or two."

Gao Xingxing cried for a while, and in the next second, he cried like a child, "wow".

Zhu Shan was so frightened that she could only get up and hug her, patting her on the back, trying to have a comforting effect.

Gao Xingxing cried for a while, crying so much that his whole body was covered in hot sweat, and then he sobbed and looked up: "You first... Let me go first."

Zhu Shan's left hand had already wrinkled Gao Xingxing's coat.

She let go of Gao Xingxing's clothes and straightened the folds with her little hands: "That... Then don't do anything stupid."

Gao Xingxing seemed to have adjusted his mood, put down the backpack on his back, and looked at the pouring rain outside the window and sobbed.

Zhu Shan poured her a glass of water: "You drink some and adjust your breathing."

Gao Xingxing took the water glass, sniffed, and let out a "hmm" from his nose.

After her mood eased, she took out her phone, pressed the screen, looked at the unsaved, strange phone number, and tears began to roll out again.

"Sister Xingxing, is this call important?" Zhu Shan asked, and felt that it was inappropriate, "I'm just a reporter's little problem, I love to ask, don't say it if it's inconvenient for you to say."

Gao Xingxing shook his head, took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing: "I have someone I like, I like, I like, so I wonder if this is a call from him."

"Huh? Your boyfriend?"

"Hmm

。」 Gao Xingxing sniffled and choked up, "Actually... This could be like you said, just a virtual number, a scam call, because... Because everybody says he's... Dead."

"Death?"

Zhu Shan's face was full of disbelief, and she remembered that she had asked Gao Xingxing if she had a boyfriend.

Gao Xingxing said normally at the time, yes.

She also happily shared the feeling of being in love, the feeling of liking someone, and said that she missed her boyfriend.

When she said those words, her eyes sparkled, and her whole body was full of sweetness, and even Zhu Shan, who was next to her, felt like she had fallen into a honey jar.

But now, she says her boyfriend... He's dead?

It's a sad love story.

Zhu Shan really wanted to slap herself, and asked those questions by herself, how uncomfortable should she be at that time?

Zhu Shan stretched out her hand and smoothed Gao Xingxing's hair and apologized, "Sister Xingxing, I'm sorry."

Gao Xingxing shook his head, and then wiped away the tears that welled up again with his sleeve: "It's that I have always been unwilling to face reality! I know that he loves me so much, if he hadn't died, how could he have left me?"

Gao Xingxing raised his head and looked at Zhu Shan with teary eyes: "Do you know? Before he left this world... Called me."

"He called me at the time, maybe he wanted to apologize because he was leaving and he couldn't love me anymore, or maybe he just wanted to say 'I love you' one last time."

Speaking of this, Gao Xingxing was completely dumb, crying and trembling.

"He called me twice, and I didn't get any."

"He must have been in a lot of pain, he was... Should... Would definitely like to... I'd love to hear from me."

"But I didn't..."

"I'll never hear him again, and I'll never know what he's trying to say."

"Forever... Never......"

Zhu Shan remembered Gao Xingxing's strange and high mobile phone ringtone.

There were several times when she didn't answer the phone in time, and when she read the message, she would be reminded by Gao Xingxing.

It turned out that it was because she missed the last call before her boyfriend's death.

That's why it's so sensitive.

Zhu Shan hugged Gao Xingxing again, this beautiful girl, a bright and enthusiastic girl, actually had such a sad thing.

Zhu Shan deeply understands this regret, when she went to the winter camp, she didn't see her mother for the last time.

Later, she heard that her mother loved her very much and had been waiting for her.

It's just that... Didn't wait.

This kind of regret hurts to the bones, because I know that it is the long-cherished wish of another person to investigate all his strength, and I also know that it is a miss that I can't save forever.

Zhu Shan still remembers Ling's mother's comfort at that time.

She drew a gourd on the scoop, but she was also sincere: "Sister Xingxing, he definitely wants you to be happy."

Gao Xingxing was stunned for a moment, buried himself on Zhu Shan's shoulder and nodded.

It was a very long night.

Gao Xingxing has been muttering in his dreams, calling people's names for a while, scolding the fools for a while, and crying sadly for a while.

After dawn, Zhu Shan dared to call Gao Xingxing, but she was weak and weak.

Zhu Shan probed her forehead, it was so hot.

She asked Gao Xingxing to continue lying down, and then went to the village committee to get medicine.

When she came back from the village committee, she probed Gao Xingxing's head with her hand, and it was even hotter than noon.

Gao Xingxing opened his eyes emptyly, without the look of the past, and looked fragile and fragile.

She also lost her former enthusiasm when she spoke, and became weak: "It's just a small cold, I haven't had a cold for a long time, count the days, it's time to catch a cold."

It's all burned like this, and you can still joke.

Zhu Shan turned around and poured water for her, and then helped her up: "I went to the village committee to find antipyretics, you take it first."

Gao Xingxing frowned and swallowed the medicine, then lay down again, she looked out the window slightly.

Zhu Shan followed her line of sight and looked out the window.

With the blue sky and white clouds in the background, the white flowers crippled by the rain are crumbling.

"I made an agreement with him to see the flowers, I thought there would be many, many opportunities, many, many years......" Gao Xingxing blinked, "He said that we will be together forever and forever."

Zhu Shan took out a tissue and wiped Gao Xingxing's tears, and her voice was also dyed with crying: "Sister Xingxing, don't think about it."

Gao Xingxing muttered in a tone of voice, "He... Tell me to wait for him, I'm clear... I'm waiting for him very well, why should he break his promise?"

Zhu Shan was infected by Gao Xingxing's emotions, her nose was sore, and she couldn't help shedding tears.

"Shanshan, you asked me what it feels like to be in love that day, and I don't think I'll ever feel it again in my life."

Zhu Shan knew that Gao Xingxing could no longer be trapped in such an emotion, so she wiped away her tears and brought the porridge over: "Sister Xingxing, you eat something first."

Gao Xingxing shook his head.

"Sister Xingxing, don't be like this, I'm afraid."

Gao Xingxing realized Zhu Shan's crying and turned his head: "Fool, what are you afraid of? Still crying?"

Zhu Shan shook her head.

"I'm not hungry right now, I'll eat later." Gao Xingxing smiled lightly, "I am very strong, because I know that my life is more than love."

After a pause, she added, "It's just my love, it's just him."

Zhu Shan's heart trembled slightly, because Gao Xingxing's words touched her.

This kind of love feels so holy and makes people obsessed and yearning.

Zhu Shan suddenly wanted to go back to Yuhe.

She really wants to be in the sky.
