Chapter 12: Reappearance (I)
It's time for the quarterly interest settlement again, and the nine-digit deposits in the bank cards make the text messages from the major banks crackle in the morning. These sounds are set to the sound of running water on the high mountains, which is crisp and pleasant.
The most surprising thing for her was that the former unit with a bank card balance of one cent also sent a three-digit arrival message. "Today's travel expenses, that's all." At this time, her expression was full of disdain, "Just keep him in the card, and there must be no more".
Bai Yun is an invisible rich man in Yangcheng, with real estate all over the place, which even Xu Zhisheng doesn't know. Money is not too tempting for her, an "old man". Every year, she gives 10 percent of her savings to those in need, such as those whose families are poor and still work hard. It is necessary to really not succumb to the people of life in order to receive her gifts. It's useless to sell miserably.
The fact that this fever was able to heal so quickly had something to do with her sudden fear of death. was reluctant to die in an instant, on the one hand, she was unwilling to solve the mystery, and on the other hand, because of Xu Zhisheng, the man she met when she was in love a hundred times.
When I had a fever, I fell asleep and hid under the quilt to breathe. Think of this hidden space as lying in a wooden box of death and enjoying the same feeling of suffocation. When you break out of the quilt, it is a kind of happiness that you have been reborn. After waking up, she almost didn't want to wait any longer, she wanted to go to Lingxi Lake for a while.
Will I get a fever again when I come back from another trip?
Will Lingxi Lake give her some paths to find secrets, as she wants?
What is the magic of Lingxi Lake?
After waiting for a day, there was no news of Xu Zhisheng. Seeing that it is about to get dark, he can't make it over?
Bai Yun dialed his phone again, and only the specially customized ringtone came from her ears, not the voice of the man she was familiar with. She had no choice but to give up her plan to go with him.
Not only is there no news of Xu Zhisheng, the mobile phone has not rang all day, her mobile phone friends do not exceed ten, and only Xu Zhisheng and You Zhen are set to sound.
Like a fairy, Lingxihu did something to a woman who was burdened with the secret of life, making her miss him, wanting to see him, and being full of anticipation like wanting to see a lover.
Walking alone, she doesn't feel lonely, for hundreds of years she has been alone in a daze, eating alone, walking alone, doing everything possible alone, but unfortunately she can't fly freely without wings.
Once, she stood on a cliff and wanted to jump to see if she had the ability to fly and if she could crack the immortal body. Courage in the face of death requires despair to the extreme, loss of interest in anything. Obviously, Bai Yun was worried in his heart and didn't really jump down.
"I've got to get there before dark."
After staying at a bookstore near the hotel for a while, Bai Yun hailed a car and headed straight for his destination. Along the way, she kept turning on her phone to see if there was any news of Xu Zhisheng, and the result was predictable.
Lingxi Lake, which began to be shrouded in night, resembled the face of a ripe girl, and several small raised islands in the center of the lake constituted her asympathetic features, but despite this, she still exuded a charming fragrance like tulips.
The road was wet because of the rain, and the occasional car drove by, but it didn't stop. Bai Yun was also glad that no more people came to disturb her dreams.
She looked at the time, and it was eight o'clock in the evening. I hadn't eaten much for a whole day, and I didn't feel hungry until I walked near a noodle restaurant, and the quiet light shone straight on Lingxi Lake, and Bai Yun saw his reflection clearly, and his back was stiff. This time, Bai Yun was shocked, is this what his real self looks like?
When she straightened her waist, the shadow on the surface of the lake was still unmoving. "It seems that Lingxi Lake doesn't lie."
The plane trees on the shores of Lingxi Lake grew very tall, reaching the height of several stories, and the trunks of the trees stood neatly under the branches and leaves. There are also their reflections on the surface of the lake, which are also straight. So, their shadows are very long, long enough to be seen in the distance, and the foliage is dense.
Walking and walking, it rained lightly. A strange man took out two umbrellas from the car, one black and the other red. Black was given to itself, and red was handed to the clouds. It was the first time they had met so closely.
"Ah, thank you for the umbrella, so how can I give it back to you?"
"You don't have to pay it back. Naturally, we will see you again, so please treat me to a cup of coffee when the time comes. ”
"Wait, what do you call it?"
"I am your patron saint."
With that, the man disappeared into a fork in the path. Not far away, his car was still flashing, but he didn't return to the car.
Mr. Umbrella's umbrella can be described as a charcoal in the snow, and it is strange that this rain is drenched, and it is not strange that you do not get sick. Bai Yun affectionately calls him Mr. Umbrella. In fact, after a brief encounter, she didn't even have time to remember what he looked like.
After buying a cup of caramel milk tea at a deserted beverage shop, Baiyun continued her journey.
Walking slowly alone, after walking a circle, it was already 10:30 at night. After returning to the place where the taxi got off, Bai Yun looked at Lingxi Lake, and suddenly a bright light flashed, like some kind of summoning ritual.
The white clouds followed the direction of the light, and she walked, the light stretched forward, and finally, there was no way out. The light brought her to the surface of the lake, and the more she got to the middle of the lake, the brighter it became.
Bai Yun's feet were completely out of control, and her consciousness told her that she was walking towards the center of the lake, and in fact, by the time she stepped into Lingxi Lake, it had slowly sunk.
