Chapter 35 The Bad News of the Sudden Drop

On this day, Zhuang Yi came back, looking very haggard. He entered the door and greeted his grandma, then went upstairs, and did not come out until dinner time.

Grandma thought he was tired, and asked Mrs. Liu to add some of his favorite dishes, but he ate very little, and the chopsticks almost poked at the rice in the bowl.Grandma personally put the food into his bowl, and he thanked him politely, and finished the food silently, as if he didn't exist.

Die'er sat across from her, and she didn't chatter like she used to. Several times, he secretly glanced at the person across from him, full of suspicion: This guy, he just came back for more than half a month, but he was so bored. Which one was sung?
After dinner, Zhuang Yi didn't go upstairs, but sat on the sofa to watch TV with his grandma. Die Er went back to the room and surfed the Internet by himself.

Looking at the time, it was almost time for grandma to go to bed. She went downstairs, but saw that grandma had already returned to the room.The TV was not turned on, and only a wall lamp was on in the huge living room. There was a dark figure in the sofa, as if condensed with indelible sorrow.

After thinking about it, she still walked over: "Why are you still sitting here? If you fall asleep, you will get sick."

"Is grandma asleep?"

"I don't know, I thought she was still downstairs."

"Come out for a walk with me."

After Zhuang Yi finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out. Die Er rolled her eyes and followed.

When he came to the lake, Zhuang Yi didn't speak, and Die'er didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just threw pebbles boredly by himself.

"Dieer, Yuzheng, she is gone."

"What?" As if a huge stone fell into the middle of the lake, Die'er's ears were buzzing: "What do you mean it's gone?"

"When she went climbing with a few fellow travelers, she slipped and fell under the waterfall, and was swept away by the water."

"Waterfalls? I didn't go to climb the snow mountain. Where did I get the waterfalls?"

"In the beginning, I did go to the snow-capped mountains. When I came down, I met some other donkey friends who said they were going to Guizhou to see waterfalls, and Yuzheng followed suit."

"Only she followed?"

"Well. She and those people lived in a small local village, which was very closed and had no communication with the outside world. They had no experience, so they hired a local guide. It rained heavily when they reached the top of the mountain. The guide suggested going down the mountain, but they disagreed. , Climb up against the rain. The stones are slippery after the rain, and when Yuzheng went to see the waterfall, his feet slipped and he fell.”

"Then they didn't go to save them then?"

"How to save it? The waterfall is so high, the water is so fast, and it's raining heavily."

"Then they left the kite there?"

"What else can I do? The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the guide forcibly took them down the mountain, so that several people were injured. Yuzheng's phone also fell, and they couldn't find her contact information, and the heavy rain blocked her. The passage between the village and the outside world, the news is only now coming."

"Could it be a mistake? Maybe it's not a rain kite."

"It was she who told those people that her name was Qi Yuzheng. In the P[-] she left behind, there were songs by Jolin Tsai and Youjia Lin. Also, I saw the clothes and shoes she left in the cottage today, although they are not from before Yuzheng. Clothes, but the same size as hers."

"So, Yuzheng is really dead?"

Zhuang Yi didn't speak, just nodded, looked up to the sky, there was no moon, and the sky was gray, but in this night, Die'er still saw the tears sliding down his face.

He cried so quietly, like the dinner table, as if it didn't exist.But Die'er clearly felt the deep sadness on his body, which spread to her through the thick night.After hesitating for a while, she stretched out a hand to lightly hold his arm, her vision quickly dimmed, she was pulled into his arms tightly by Zhuang Yi, his head fell on her shoulder, and her entire upper body shook violently.

The dampness on her shoulders became hotter and hotter, Die'er's tense body relaxed, she raised one hand, and patted Zhuang Yi's back lightly, once and for all, like comforting a wronged child.Her nose was also sore: what kind of sadness should it be, to make a piece of wood shed tears like this; and what kind of love should be, so that a dignified man can't bear it like this.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhuang Yi let go of her, looked at her drenched shoulders, took off his coat and put it on her.

Die'er wanted to refuse, but his hand was very strong, and he was a bit stubborn when he pressed it on her shoulder, so she simply let him go.Besides, it was really cold.In such a deeper and dewy autumn night, hearing such sad news, anyone would feel cold.

"Then what should we do in the future? Shouldn't Uncle Qi and Grandma be told about this?"

"Grandma absolutely can't say it. I will find an opportunity to talk to Uncle Qi and listen to him."

"Alright, grandma will definitely not be able to bear it."

There was another silence, and after a while, Die'er sighed: "Zhuang Yi, when I fell, I was standing by the waterfall."

"Really? You were on the waterfall, too?"

"No, it's at the bottom. I went to fetch water, and saw that the waterfall was really magnificent, so I watched it for a while. When I was about to fill the sandbag with water, the jade hanging on the water bag suddenly shone, and I was sucked in. , I swung my sword in a hurry to chop it off, and even the sword was cut off, and then I was brought here."

"Then do you remember, what day was it when you fell?"

"June [-]th is the day when our young lady is going to get married."

Zhuang Yi quickly took out his mobile phone to check the calendar. After a while, he raised his head, and the hand holding the mobile phone kept shaking: "The day Yuzheng died was July [-]st, and the lunar calendar is June [-]th."

"So, I stole her life?" Die Er murmured in disbelief.

"I don't know, this is very weird. Die'er, maybe it's because you and Yuzheng made an exchange."

"Exchange? Do you believe there will be such a thing?"

"I don't believe it, but this fact is bizarre. Don't tell anyone about the Yuzheng. I'll tell you after I figure it out."

"Well, I don't have a clue either, I just hope Grandma won't be too sad."

"Dieer, thank you."

"no need thank me?"

"With you here, I don't seem to be so sad this night. When I heard the news, I wanted to come back and tell you. I can't explain why? I just think that you are an outlet for me."

Die'er didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, so she nodded, "You can't come back to life after death, so don't be too sad, Grandma and Uncle Qi still rely on you."

"Well, I'll make it through. It's late at night, go back to sleep." Zhuang Yi nodded, took Die'er's hand and walked back.Die Er looked at the clasped hands, hesitated for a moment, but did not break free.Although I still don't like men's touch, but this special night, let her be a stove to help him bake the frost on his heart and send him a little warmth.

Opening the door and entering the room, the two naturally let go, Zhuang Yi was going to have a cup of coffee, Die Er went upstairs directly, at the corner of the stairs, she looked down and sighed in her heart: This man is destined to not be able to sleep tonight .
