The all-powerful wife of the wealthy family
Chapter 132 Plausible, Strong Love
Chapter 132 Plausible, Strong Love
Under the pressure, Wu Tong completed Qiao Yimo's adoption procedures.
The only good news is that Zheng Fangzhou did not raise any objections to the adoption of the child.
"Look at the matter of you young couple. I am an open-minded father-in-law, and I will not restrict you too much." These are Zheng Fangzhou's original words.
After hearing this sentence, Wu Tong and Zheng Jiaxuan felt completely different.
Wu Tong was very happy, but Zheng Jiaxuan became more and more sad.
From Zheng Jiaxuan's point of view, Zheng Fangzhou was just waiting to see the excitement and their distressed appearance.
The unhappy Zheng Jiaxuan went to drink tea with Dr. Xue Baohe.
Xue Baohe seemed to expect that Zheng Jiaxuan would come to him, so he prepared tea and snacks early.
Zheng Jiaxuan did not expect that Xue Baohe would agree with Wu Tong to adopt this newborn child.
Xue Baohe said: "People have different opinions and practices, and conflicts are inevitable. You think about her, and she thinks about the child. This is normal, and this kind of thing will definitely happen in the future."
"Yes, there was an omen before." Zheng Jiaxuan remembered the first time he took Wu Tong to the private house in Qiaowan, they met a girl who practiced piano late at night on the road, and Wu Tong wanted to intervene in this matter at that time; During the time of snail powder, Wu Tong ran into his old mentor by chance. Hearing that his wife was seriously ill, she wanted to visit her.
In those two times, Zheng Jiaxuan persuaded Wu Tong not to do bad things with good intentions.After all, it is easy to get the opposite effect if you meddle in something that you don't know the inside story for no reason.
But this time, Wu Tong's insistence made Zheng Jiaxuan helpless.
Xue Baohe took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and dry lips, and then said in a leisurely manner: "Qiao Yimo is a spiritual child. He is indeed not an ordinary child. He needs to be educated carefully. If he is taught well, he can succeed ;Teaching is not good--"
Xue Baohe's words only reached this point.Zheng Jiaxuan had heard more than once that this child was unusual.
Now, even Doctor Xue Baohe said so, so Zheng Jiaxuan had to face up to this troublesome child.
The little nurse who had breastfed Qiao Yimo had just given birth and was weak. She was planning to quit her job in the hospital.It just so happened that Wu Tong also intended to hire her to take care of Qiao Yimo, and the two hit it off.
Before Wu Tong went to work every day, she would send Qiao Yimo to the little nurse's home, and she would pick her up at night when she got off work.
The little nurse's milk is sufficient, more than enough to supply two children's rations.
Qiao Yimo is very considerate, and there are very few adults who can get close to her. Fortunately, she seems to have a soft spot for this little nurse.
Zheng Jiaxuan said unhappily: "This child probably doesn't have a soft spot for the little nurse, but for the milk she can produce. Such a small child knows how to judge the situation. No wonder everyone says she is amazing. When she grows up It's worth it. Tongtong, you should be careful, don't become a farmer and get bitten by a snake when you turn around."
Wu Tong hugged the little baby and said with a smile: "No matter how powerful she is, she must have that ability."
"Maybe." Qiao Yimo has completely become a landmine buried in Zheng Jiaxuan's heart that could explode at any time.
Wu Tong was not so pessimistic. She went to the mall to choose a variety of baby toys for Qiao Yimo.
Wu Tong saw a beautiful hourglass on the way, and thought that Apple would like it very much. She thought that one should not favor one over another, so she bought it. On the way home, she was going to visit her sister Wu Liuqing and her little niece Apple in the Cannes community.
Apple smiled and kissed Wu Tong's forehead, she took the hourglass from Wu Tong's slender hand, facing the sun, the purple sand grains shone fluorescently. Apple shook it with his white and tender hands, over and over again, tirelessly turning the sand inside back and forth.Let them flow to the other side through narrow passages, and let them return the same way.
"Auntie, what is this?" Apple raised his head and asked curiously.
"It's called an hourglass. People used it to calculate time a long time ago." Wu Tong held Apple in his arms and said softly.
"Oh, I see!" Apple said excitedly. "The time it takes for these little particles to travel from the sun to the moon is the same as the time it takes to travel from the moon to the sun, and it's the same every time."
Wu Tong quickly understood what Apple meant, and asked, "Which side is the sun and which side is the moon?"
Apple pointed to the glass ball above the hourglass and said, "This is the sun." Then he pointed to the bottom and said, "This is the moon."
Wu Tong looked at Apple's innocent smiling face kindly. But Apple didn't notice Wu Tong's gaze, all her attention was attracted by the beautiful hourglass in her hand.
Apple jumped down from Wu Tong's arms, and put the hourglass neatly on the flat coffee table.At this time, the sand grains are all on the moon, and the sun is empty.
Then, Apple bouncing into the room to take out the small schoolbag and took out his watch.Then, she pulled out a small bench from under the coffee table, sat upright, and stared at the pointer seriously.When the second hand came to twelve, she turned the hourglass upside down, and the grains of sand ran hurriedly again.
I saw Apple's eyes hurriedly wandering between the hourglass and the watch, counting the time for the sand grains to run from the moon to the sun.
Wu Tong doesn't know, Apple doesn't know, maybe no one knows at all, there is actually an hourglass world in that glass ball, inhabited by thousands of sand people.
Apple played the hourglass for an afternoon, and finally got tired of it.She put the new toy on the bookshelf and looked at it occasionally, instead of taking it down and tossing it upside down.
Children's enthusiasm often lasts only a few minutes, and new toys will eventually be shelved. It is good to have a safe place to go.
Apple has no father, and her mother will soon die, but she has a aunt who loves her, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.
While looking at the company's information, Wu Tong coaxed Qiao Yimo to sleep.
From time to time, Wu Tong took out a hand from the pile of materials to pat Qiao Yimo. Xiao Yimo didn't cry or make trouble, but he didn't sleep either.
Wu Tong found a fairy tale from his phone and played it to Qiao Yimo. Within 10 minutes, Xiao Yimo fell asleep.
After Qiao Yimo fell asleep, Wu Tong quietly turned off the phone, and continued to look at the file, and the time passed bit by bit.
When the clock on the wall showed [-]:[-], Zheng Jiaxuan hadn't come back yet.
Wu Tong put away the documents, turned off the lights and lay down next to the crib. Due to exhaustion, she soon fell asleep drowsily.
Not long after falling asleep, Wu Tong suddenly heard the sound of the door.
With the help of the faint moonlight, Wu Tong looked at the time on the clock, it showed [-]:[-].
Wu Tong didn't get up, she heard Zheng Jiaxuan closed the door and went to the bathroom.Soon, the sound of running water from the shower came, and after a while the sound of water stopped. Zheng Jiaxuan walked to the end of the bed with the aroma after bathing and sat down. He sat quietly like this for a long time.
Wu Tong peeked at Zheng Jiaxuan's silhouette hidden in the darkness, and his memory suddenly returned to the spring ten years ago, the spring when the undercurrent surged in Guanzhou.
At that time, the cold air in Guanzhou had not completely faded away, but it was only occasionally mixed with the warmth of a few spring breezes.
In winter in Guanzhou, all things are kept alive, and the trees are full of green leaves.
During those few days, it rained non-stop in Guanzhou, and there was dampness everywhere.
Wu Tong and Yang Hanfeng received a mission to catch a murderer who raped and killed a girl.
It was the first time Wu Tong saw such a bloody and brutal rape and murder scene. Even through the photos, Wu Tong's blood gushed instantly, and he couldn't help shaking with anger.
In the rain, Wu Tong and Yang Hanfeng wore black raincoats and hid behind the big rusty iron gate, quietly observing the situation inside the gate.
Wu Tong was holding a sharp dagger in her slender hand, and she was holding it tighter and tighter, her fingernails were turning white, and her finger bones were about to burst out of her skin.
Yang Hanfeng wrapped Wu Tong's hand firmly in his palm with his powerful big hand, trying to calm Wu Tong down.
In order to avoid being discovered, the two chose to come out to investigate the situation in such a rainy and gloomy weather.At this time, it was already late at night, and Wu Tong, who had been drenched in the rain for twenty hours, was still unwilling to leave.
Compared to Wu Tong, Yang Hanfeng was a little calmer.
Yang Hanfeng persuaded Wu Tong to leave many times, but Wu Tong was like a mad lion, how could he give up.
Wu Tong's hazel pupils shone fiercely under the moonlight, and she clearly imprinted the murderer's face in her mind.Anyone who participated in the rape and murder must pay the price, including all onlookers.
In Wu Tong's values, onlookers who do nothing are equally guilty.
As sinful as the murderer is, so are the sins of the onlookers.
A young and pretty girl just disappeared in this world.She left the world with a broken and ugly corpse, just thinking about it feels cruel.
Many people will always do many wrong things for money and power, and hurt many innocent people;
There are always some people who, for their own lust and sadistic desires, make actions that will send themselves to hell.
During that time, Wu Tong saw clearly the evil nature of human beings.
There is no limit to the cruelty of human beings, which can never be imagined.
The wind drove rainwater into the raincoat, and Wu Tong and Yang Hanfeng were thoroughly wet inside and out.
Just as they were about to leave, dozens of people rushed out from the iron gate in an instant.
The number of opponents was beyond their expectation.
There were obviously less than ten people in it before, so why did so many helpers suddenly descend from the sky?
Wu Tong felt sorry for her recklessness. At that moment, she worried that Yang Hanfeng would be implicated because of her stubbornness.
Fortunately, during the retreat, a nobleman appeared and carried them away from the dangerous area on a motorcycle.
Before Wu Tong and Yang Hanfeng had time to thank him, the man disappeared into the rain in the dark night.
The next day, when the sun was rising with dew and moisture, Wu Tong dragged his rain-soaked clothes back to the dormitory of the Golden Dragon Gang.
Wu Tong came to the bathroom mechanically, turned on the shower, and the falling warm water warmed her body up a little.
At that moment, Wu Tong felt very dazed.Who is the person who rescued them?Why save them?Did the rescuer happen to pass by and rescue them, or did they come here on purpose?Wu Tong is still unknown.
Wu Tong has never solved this doubt.
At this moment, Wu Tong was lying on the bed, quietly looking at Zheng Jiaxuan sitting at the foot of the bed, the past flashed up instantly, and Wu Tong suddenly found the answer.
"Jiaxuan." Wu Tong sat up and called softly.
Zheng Jiaxuan turned his head, "En? Did it wake you up?"
In the dark night, Wu Tong's eyes sparkled, "Did you save me before?"
After so many years, Zheng Jiaxuan didn't think of that period of time.
"Ten years ago, in spring, on a rainy night, Yang Hanfeng and I were hunted down. Did you rescue us on a motorcycle?" Wu Tong finished speaking, biting his lower lip, waiting for Zheng Jiaxuan's answer.
Zheng Jiaxuan thought for a while and said, "Well, it's me."
Wu Tong suddenly had a sore nose and hot eyes, and his heart beat faster, "Why did you just run away at that time? We didn't even have time to say thank you to you..."
Zheng Jiaxuan wrote lightly: "It's nothing more than a little effort."
"But, you saved our lives." Wu Tong repeated, "You saved two lives..."
Zheng Jiaxuan: "I have also killed people..."
"..." Wu Tong moved to Zheng Jiaxuan's side, hugged Zheng Jiaxuan's waist, and said softly: "All you kill are bad people."
"There are good people too." Zheng Jiaxuan remained motionless, letting Wu Tong hold him.
Wu Tong buried his face in Zheng Jiaxuan's arm, "That was an accident..."
Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Zheng Jiaxuan hugged Wu Tong into his arms, his soft body instantly healed all his sorrows.
**
Xia Wenhe experienced the worst day of her life.Although her life is far from over, she believes that this must be the worst day of her life.
In the morning, as soon as Xia Wenhe stepped out of the house, she collided with a neighbor who just came out to take out the trash, and she was splashed with a shoe of vegetable soup.
After Xia Wenhe cleaned up, she came to the elevator, looked up, and found that both elevators were out of order.
Xia Wenhe had to prepare and walked down from the sixteenth floor.There are few people walking on the stairs, and the emergency lights on many floors are not on.She took out her mobile phone and looked at it. The low battery could not turn on the flashlight function, so she meowed.She finally walked out of the community in the dark, but it started to rain heavily again.
After all kinds of hardships, I finally arrived at school, but Xia Wenhe was already late.There are only three days of check-ups every month, and on this day she was caught by the principal, so she was inevitably scolded again.
When she arrived in class, Xia Wenhe realized that she had forgotten to bring her homework, and she just couldn't do the questions that the teacher called out.
It wasn't until physical education class that Xia Wenhe realized that her aunt had come, and there were stains on her pants. I don't know if anyone noticed.
These are small things, but they are just annoying.
The real big thing was that the father who asked Xia Wenhe to have dinner with him in the morning had a sudden myocardial infarction and was sent to the hospital.
After Xia Wenhe received a call from home, she rushed to the hospital in a hurry.Before she finished listening to the doctor's words, her father was gone.
Life, sometimes it is so fragile.
Mother Xia held her husband's hand and sat beside the hospital bed, weeping silently.
Soon, the cousin who was in confinement also rushed over.The brother-in-law pushed the cousin in a wheelchair, and the cousin was still holding Xia Wenhe's little niece in her arms.
The alternation and continuation of life is probably like this.
This day seems to be a long time that will never end.Xia's mother fainted in the corridor of the hospital at noon due to excessive grief.
The doctor asked Xia Wenhe to go through the hospitalization procedures and told her that Xia's mother's cancer cells had also spread.
At this time, Xia Wenhe, unexpectedly knew that her mother had been diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer half a year ago, and Xia's father and mother had been hiding it from her.
Just when Xia Wenhe returned to the ward after completing the hospitalization procedures, she heard another bad news—Mother Xia also passed away.Xia's mother swallowed a whole box of antihypertensive medicine, which was left over from Xia's father.
The cousin cried and told Xia Wenhe that when Xia's mother knew that her cancer cells had spread, she actually laughed, and she laughed happily.
Probably, Mother Xia wants to accompany Father Xia!They have been together for more than 30 years, and they decided to walk together in the final journey, which should be happiness.
The cousin was originally in poor health, and the child was delivered by caesarean section. In addition, the mood fluctuated too much on this day, and the milk supply became less and less, and the child was so hungry that he cried.The nurse saw that Xia Wenhe and her brother-in-law were busy notifying relatives and preparing for the funeral of the two old people, so busy that they didn't even have time to grieve, so she kindly bought milk powder to take care of the baby temporarily.
After the hasty and chaotic funeral, Xia Wenhe slowly recovered.Sitting in the empty room, she felt extremely cold.In the past, she always felt that her home was small, but now that she saw how this house of less than [-] square meters had suddenly become so big, she felt that her words echoed.
There seemed to be the smell of tobacco left by his father in the bathroom. Before, he didn't feel choked when he smoked in front of his face. After such a long time, he smelled the lingering aftertaste. How could Xia Wenhe feel so choked that he wanted to cry.
Xia's mother's skirt was still hanging on the hanger. Xia Wenhe touched it and found that it was completely dry.
Mother Xia is tall and looks beautiful in skirts.My father said that he fell in love with the girl who was wearing a long skirt and doing gymnastics on the playground from a distance.
However, Xia's father was not as tall as Xia's mother, so he didn't have the courage to pursue him at that time.
Fortunately, Xia's mother noticed the poems and articles that Xia's father frequently published in the school newspaper, and found Xia's father by following the name behind the article.
The woman who dared to love and hate confessed her love first, and then Mother Xia found out that the talent she admired had been secretly in love with her for a long time.
Fate is very subtle.God will not let two good people miss happiness, Xia Wenhe has always believed in this.
Suddenly, Xia Wenhe became an orphan.
The cousin and brother-in-law asked her to live with her, but Xia Wenhe refused.
She is old enough to live on her own and to take care of herself.
Xia Wenhe is strong, reality did not knock her down.
As everyone knows, the sequelae left by such an accident did not appear immediately.In the long years, it was like a blunt knife, cutting her happiness bit by bit.
However, Xia Wenhe still doesn't realize this.
Ji Jie asked for leave to accompany Xia Wenhe for a few days. Ji Jie, who lived alone all year round, understood the loneliness of being alone.
He thought that Xia Wenhe, who grew up under the wing of her parents, must not be able to adapt to a life that suddenly became colder.
Ji Jie accompanied Xia Wenhe on a trip, watching the sunrise and the sea with Xia Wenhe.
At the beach, Xia Wenhe said that she wanted to take a boat.
Ji Jie hired a small boat to take Xia Wenhe out to sea. The boatman said that the weather was good recently and he could take them to catch fish.
As a result, no one expected that the weather would change suddenly.
The calm sea suddenly roared wildly like a tsunami.The sky was still clear just now, but in a blink of an eye, the dark clouds settled down.
The wind whipped up waves and rushed towards the wooden boat. The wooden boat was like a dead leaf falling into the sea, swaying with the waves and resigned to its fate.
Before the three people on board could react, the sea water filled the boat.
Ji Jie hugged the fence around him tightly, squinting his eyes and looking at the sky, he couldn't figure out why the weather suddenly changed.Before going out to sea, he checked the sky carefully. According to common sense, it should be sunny for four or five days.
He really couldn't figure it out.
Xia Wenhe suddenly burst into tears on the other side: "Mr. Ji, I'm scared, I don't want to die yet..."
The shadows of her deceased parents suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and Xia Wenhe was so frightened that she trembled all over, feeling inexplicably that her parents might be taking her away from this world.
The situation was getting worse and worse, not far away there was a huge wave high enough to smash the boat to pieces.
Ji Jie smiled lightly, and hurried through life, although it was a bit short, but since it was God's will, this is the only way to go.
Whether it is a great ambition or a beautiful blueprint, it will be left to the next life, if there is a next life.
Xia Wenhe was so frightened when she saw the high wave rushing towards her.
Before the wave came in front of her eyes, Xia Wenhe fainted and was involved in the breaking waves.
Ji Jie watched Xia Wenhe disappear into the white waves, knowing that he couldn't hold on for long, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose had already poured a lot of cold water.
There was a rumble in the ear, and the white mist in front of his eyes seemed to be a sign of the disappearance of life.
Just when the last faint consciousness was about to disappear, Ji Jie suddenly felt a huge force coming from the bottom of the sea.This force seemed to be resisting the impact of the waves, helping him to support the crumbling and shattering boat.
I don't know how long it took, but it finally calmed down.When Ji Jie woke up on the wet deck, Xia Wenhe was beside him, but he was still unconscious.
"Xia Wenhe, Xia Wenhe, wake up." Ji Jie thumped Xia Wenhe's chest, and slapped her on the face a few times.
Just when Ji Jie was considering whether to give Xia Wenhe artificial respiration, Xia Wenhe suddenly vomited a few mouthfuls of seawater and woke up leisurely.
Xia Wenhe took a lot of effort to open her eyes, and when she saw Ji Jie, she hugged him tightly, crying bitterly, "Mr. Ji, am I alive or dead now... Bah, bah, bah... so salty, so fishy, what kind of world is this, the food is so unpalatable..."
Ji Jie smiled slightly, pinched Xia Wenhe's cold face, "We're still at sea."
"What? Where? On the sea? Am I going to hell? Shouldn't I be on the clouds if I go to heaven? Huh... No, Teacher Ji, why don't you..."
This silly girl, Ji Jie shook her head, stopped listening to Xia Wenhe's nonsense, and turned to check the damage of the ship.
In fact, there is nothing to see. It is very reluctant to say that it is a boat. Now there are only a few large wooden stakes to support the hull.
The boatman disappeared at some point, most likely washed away by the waves.
Although Ji Jie and Xia Wenhe are still alive, the boat cannot sail.If they can't reach the shore, they don't get enough fresh water in their bodies, and they will also die of dehydration very quickly.
So, the situation is still not very optimistic.
At this time, the sun became fierce again, and the wooden planks and clothes on my body were quickly dried by the sun and sea breeze.Both Ji Jie and Xia Wenhe also gradually sweated, which accelerated the loss of water in their bodies.
"Mr. Ji, I'm so thirsty... Let's get some water to drink." Xia Wenhe leaned over and tried to drink water from the cracks in the wooden boards.
"No!" Ji Jie mentioned Xia Wenhe, "Sea water is salty, drinking it will make you thirstier."
Ji Jie kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and swallowed.
If someone must die today, why did they escape just now? !
If they can achieve extreme prosperity today, who can show them the way? !
There is no reference object on the sea, and there is a vast sea in all directions.
They have neither the tools to row nor the destination in sight.
Ji Jie grew up by the river when he was a child, and he often went down to the river to swim and bathe, so he has excellent water skills and a wealth of knowledge about astronomy and navigation.Say
But at this moment, he didn't even know which direction the boat was going.He wasn't even sure if the boat had just stayed where it was.
Is the ship circling a certain course?
Although Ji Jie thought of countless possibilities, none of them could be verified.
Xia Wenhe lay limply on the board, like a snowman about to melt, she fell asleep several times but was dragged up by Ji Jie.
The sun gradually sank, setting towards the west.
Ji Jie tried to distinguish the east, west, and north from the direction of the sun setting, but no matter which direction he stood, the setting sun was on his right.
What's going on here?Ji Jie became more and more confused.
A tall young man stood upright on the dilapidated wooden boat.
The setting sun hit his face without hesitation, he looked so cold and handsome.
He was young, with a soft frame and sculpted lines of a handsome man.
His lips were soft, pouted slightly when he was in a daze.
His nose is straight and straight, there is no excess fat on his cheeks, and his skin has not been damaged by the scorching sun and harsh wind at sea, and is still as smooth and tender as a baby.
On the whole face, the most prominent strength is his eyes, which are as bright as wolf's eyes and as sharp as eagle's eyes.
Xia Wenhe was stunned by Ji Jie like this, for a moment she even forgot to be afraid.
Xia Wenhe was lying on the deck of the boat, her face was full of innocence and her eyes were clear.
Ji Jie once went to sea with his father's friend. This friend of his father encountered countless shipwrecks, large and small, and most of the situations were recorded in his sailing diary.
Ji Jie looked through this nautical diary, and it was very detailed, and the reasons for each accident were written very clearly.
For example, the observers did not pay attention to the reef, causing the ship to run aground and leak water;
Or observe the celestial phenomena, make mistakes in weather judgment, and so on.
There are gaps in the diary, and some content that was filled in later.
For example, the subdivision of complex astronomical phenomena, and how to more accurately judge the weather in the future;
Or the appearance and appearance of some ferocious fish schools, etc.
The occurrence of all these situations can find the reason, and can find out the main point of avoiding the disaster.
But this time, it seemed extraordinarily unusual.Ji Jie thought hard for a long time, but couldn't figure out any clues.
Ji Jie reviewed the sailing diary several times, but he couldn't find anything similar to this time.
He carefully recalled the celestial phenomena, and there was nothing unusual about it, which clearly indicated good weather. What is the problem?
Most importantly, how are they going to land now?
Ji Jie also felt dizzy.
In a trance, he seemed to see a lot of fish swimming in the sea around the boat, but when he looked around, there was nothing.
However, after a while, the fish gathered again dimly.
Ji Jie felt that he could no longer stand steadily as before. Could it be that his physical strength has dropped so fast?
wrong!Ji Jie suddenly realized that it was the boat that was moving.
Now there is no wind, how can the boat drive by itself?
"Xia Wenhe, stinky girl, wake up!" Ji Jie shook Xia Wenhe awake again.
Xia Wenhe turned over, her center of gravity became unstable, and she fell to a corner of the boat.
Ji Jie: "Girl, do you feel like the boat is moving..."
Xia Wenhe's consciousness was not fully awake yet, she rubbed her eyes, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint shadow in the gap between the splints from the corner of her eye.
She was so frightened that she suddenly jumped up, jumped to Ji Jie's side, and stammered, "There is someone! Teacher Ji! There is someone there!"
Ji Jie's face was serious, and he was about to walk in the direction Xia Wenhe pointed.However, just as he took a step forward, the boat suddenly slowed down, and Ji Jie fell backwards suddenly.
Xia Wenhe hurried over to support Ji Jie, and then Ji Jie stabilized his center of gravity.He walked forward again, and this time he walked smoothly to the place Xia Wenhe said.
Ji Jie looked into the gap between the splints, but saw nothing.
There was nothing, and he couldn't help but suspect that Xia Wenhe had hallucinations.
Ji Jie: "Could it be the boatman?"
Xia Wenhe shook her head, "I don't know, it's just a shadow, I didn't see it clearly, it scared me to death!"
Ji Jie sat cross-legged on the splint and listened quietly.
He listened for a long time, and it was getting dark.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes thoughtfully, and said to Xia Wenhe in a deep voice, "Girl, you were right just now."
"What did I say?" Xia Wenhe asked extremely guilty.
Ji Jie said, "There should be someone."
Xia Wenhe said in a crying voice: "How is this possible? I must have fainted from thirst, fainted from hunger, and my eyes are blurred."
Ji Jie beckoned Xia Wenhe to come over, and Xia Wenhe moved her buttocks a little bit and came over.
Ji Jie whispered, "Listen, besides the sound of the boat hitting the water, are there any other sounds?"
Xia Wenhe listened carefully for a while, "Oh, it's all the sound of water waves, don't scare me!"
Ji Jie said, "No! There are other voices."
"How could there be anyone else here besides the two of us? Some of them are already dead! Teacher Ji, don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more scared I become!" Xia Wenhe begged.
Ji Jie thought for a while, and tentatively tapped the splint three times with his knuckles, but there was no response from the boat.
Xia Wenhe felt that Ji Jie must be crazy, so she lay down on the board of the boat and continued to close her eyes to rest.
Ji Jie increased the force of the tapping, and tapped again "Du-Du-Du-Du-" three times, but there was still no response.
Ji Jie didn't give up, so he hit harder, until his knuckles bled, "Du-duk-duk--"
Suddenly, the speed of the boat slowed down, but it recovered quickly. This brief and delicate moment made Ji Jie a little excited.
Yes, there must be something living under the boat.
Although according to common sense, this is impossible.
But now, there is indeed a creature trying to save them, could it be a dolphin?
Ji Jie thought about countless possibilities, but they all found it incredible.
In this way, the boat gradually moved towards the shore.
When they returned to the place where they boarded the boat and searched for the creature that saved them, they found nothing.
Xia Wenhe was frightened, and they rushed back to downtown Guanzhou overnight.
Shock briefly healed Xia Wenhe's grief of losing a loved one, using one kind of stimulation to dilute another kind of stimulation can be regarded as the therapy of fighting poison with fire.
"Looking at you on the boat frightened you. You always said you were brave, so you must have exposed your secrets." In Ji Jie's sarcastic words, there was actually not much irony in it.
"Why, can't you? Are you not afraid? Cut!" Xia Wenhe rolled her eyes.
Ji Jie smiled faintly and rubbed Xia Wenhe's wet hair.
**
The temperature in Guanzhou City hovers in the [-]s. When it rains, it is a bit cold and humid. After the rain, the sky is clear and warm.
Wu Tong was wearing a small brand black short padded jacket and brown slacks, sitting in the living room of the hotel suite.
On the opposite side is a woman wearing an expensive custom-made suit. The woman is not very iconic, but she is full of aura.
He looks like he's in his early thirties, but he's actually in his 50s.
"Wu Tong, isn't it?" the woman leaned gracefully on the back of the leather sofa and asked.
Wu Tong nodded calmly.
The woman smiled slightly and said, "Let me introduce myself to you. I used to be Zheng Fangzhou's woman."
Wu Tong looked at the woman and said with a smile, "Say it straight, what can you do with me?"
The woman picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip, "It's nothing. I heard that you married into the Zheng family. Let me chat with you."
"You want to go back to Zheng Fangzhou, don't you?" Wu Tong didn't have time to play riddles and practice Tai Chi with her here.
The woman looked up at Wu Tong in a little surprise, and Wu Tong said immediately: "Just say what you want me to do. If it doesn't violate my principles, I should help you."
"Don't be so impatient, come, have a sip of tea, this is good tea..." The woman made a gesture of invitation with one hand.
"I have something to do in a while, so I won't waste your precious time. Come to me after you think it over. I won't give you advice. I can't take this responsibility. You and I know it well, Zheng Fang Zhou is not a man to mess with. I don't know his love history very well. Probably only he knows how many women he has. It's not up to me who he wants to keep by his side, and you probably don't have a say. So, think about what to do first, and come to me when the time comes. What I can tell you is that I am willing to help you."
After Wu Tong finished speaking, he stood up and left the room.
The woman froze in place, digesting Wu Tong's words.
After Wu Tong came out of the hotel suite, he walked along the noisy road.
Over the past few decades, Guanzhou has undergone tremendous changes, and the shadow of the past can no longer be seen.
But this small street has not changed at all, like a child who is not motivated, but happy alone.
At noon the next day, Wu Tong and Zheng Jiaxuan asked Lao Xiao and Lili to have dinner near Xuanshi.
As a result, Zheng Jiaxuan let them go because of a temporary emergency, but he recommended a small shop.
When the three of them came to the roast goose restaurant, the small facade was full of people, most of them were students from the middle school opposite.
"Boss, cut more meat for me! Look, it's all bones! That, that, give me more char siu! The eggs are too raw, fry them for me! Let me scald two more slices of lettuce! That Soup, pour me more!" As soon as I entered, I heard a man nagging, his voice was like a sterilized rooster.
The good-tempered boss flattered, "The ones for you are definitely the best, don't worry!"
"Your business is really good! You have to wait so long every time, and you don't have to eat when you come late." The man before continued to choke the voice of the male duck in the voice-changing period.
"I haven't seen you here for a long time, are you busy recently?" the boss asked while cutting the meat.
"There are too many projects recently, and these projects can't do without me! The leader strongly asked me to take the lead." The man showed his ability proudly.
Yang Huili almost vomited on the spot.
Xiao Enliang went to occupy a seat first, and Yang Huili and Wu Tong went to line up to buy food together.
After the first two customers bought and left, Yang Huili and Wu Tong moved forward a few steps, and only then did they see the person who just spoke clearly.
I saw that he had a smooth forehead, only a few hairs with strong perseverance were pulled out from the back of his head, and the few strands were knotted together alone, which made people feel sad.
This man should not lead a group to any project, he is more suitable to be an acrobat.The top of the head, which is as flat as a horizontal plane, can firmly support a round pot, and the big windy ears have a strong comic effect without much decoration.
The bushy eyebrows make his eyes very small, and when he laughs triumphantly, his whole face looks like a sinner who has been quartered by five horses.
Yang Huili sighed in a low voice: "It really sounds like a person, and it has reached a perfect consistency..."
The man glanced at Yang Huili, but he didn't understand Yang Huili's implication. He even smiled disgustingly at Yang Huili.
(End of this chapter)
Under the pressure, Wu Tong completed Qiao Yimo's adoption procedures.
The only good news is that Zheng Fangzhou did not raise any objections to the adoption of the child.
"Look at the matter of you young couple. I am an open-minded father-in-law, and I will not restrict you too much." These are Zheng Fangzhou's original words.
After hearing this sentence, Wu Tong and Zheng Jiaxuan felt completely different.
Wu Tong was very happy, but Zheng Jiaxuan became more and more sad.
From Zheng Jiaxuan's point of view, Zheng Fangzhou was just waiting to see the excitement and their distressed appearance.
The unhappy Zheng Jiaxuan went to drink tea with Dr. Xue Baohe.
Xue Baohe seemed to expect that Zheng Jiaxuan would come to him, so he prepared tea and snacks early.
Zheng Jiaxuan did not expect that Xue Baohe would agree with Wu Tong to adopt this newborn child.
Xue Baohe said: "People have different opinions and practices, and conflicts are inevitable. You think about her, and she thinks about the child. This is normal, and this kind of thing will definitely happen in the future."
"Yes, there was an omen before." Zheng Jiaxuan remembered the first time he took Wu Tong to the private house in Qiaowan, they met a girl who practiced piano late at night on the road, and Wu Tong wanted to intervene in this matter at that time; During the time of snail powder, Wu Tong ran into his old mentor by chance. Hearing that his wife was seriously ill, she wanted to visit her.
In those two times, Zheng Jiaxuan persuaded Wu Tong not to do bad things with good intentions.After all, it is easy to get the opposite effect if you meddle in something that you don't know the inside story for no reason.
But this time, Wu Tong's insistence made Zheng Jiaxuan helpless.
Xue Baohe took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and dry lips, and then said in a leisurely manner: "Qiao Yimo is a spiritual child. He is indeed not an ordinary child. He needs to be educated carefully. If he is taught well, he can succeed ;Teaching is not good--"
Xue Baohe's words only reached this point.Zheng Jiaxuan had heard more than once that this child was unusual.
Now, even Doctor Xue Baohe said so, so Zheng Jiaxuan had to face up to this troublesome child.
The little nurse who had breastfed Qiao Yimo had just given birth and was weak. She was planning to quit her job in the hospital.It just so happened that Wu Tong also intended to hire her to take care of Qiao Yimo, and the two hit it off.
Before Wu Tong went to work every day, she would send Qiao Yimo to the little nurse's home, and she would pick her up at night when she got off work.
The little nurse's milk is sufficient, more than enough to supply two children's rations.
Qiao Yimo is very considerate, and there are very few adults who can get close to her. Fortunately, she seems to have a soft spot for this little nurse.
Zheng Jiaxuan said unhappily: "This child probably doesn't have a soft spot for the little nurse, but for the milk she can produce. Such a small child knows how to judge the situation. No wonder everyone says she is amazing. When she grows up It's worth it. Tongtong, you should be careful, don't become a farmer and get bitten by a snake when you turn around."
Wu Tong hugged the little baby and said with a smile: "No matter how powerful she is, she must have that ability."
"Maybe." Qiao Yimo has completely become a landmine buried in Zheng Jiaxuan's heart that could explode at any time.
Wu Tong was not so pessimistic. She went to the mall to choose a variety of baby toys for Qiao Yimo.
Wu Tong saw a beautiful hourglass on the way, and thought that Apple would like it very much. She thought that one should not favor one over another, so she bought it. On the way home, she was going to visit her sister Wu Liuqing and her little niece Apple in the Cannes community.
Apple smiled and kissed Wu Tong's forehead, she took the hourglass from Wu Tong's slender hand, facing the sun, the purple sand grains shone fluorescently. Apple shook it with his white and tender hands, over and over again, tirelessly turning the sand inside back and forth.Let them flow to the other side through narrow passages, and let them return the same way.
"Auntie, what is this?" Apple raised his head and asked curiously.
"It's called an hourglass. People used it to calculate time a long time ago." Wu Tong held Apple in his arms and said softly.
"Oh, I see!" Apple said excitedly. "The time it takes for these little particles to travel from the sun to the moon is the same as the time it takes to travel from the moon to the sun, and it's the same every time."
Wu Tong quickly understood what Apple meant, and asked, "Which side is the sun and which side is the moon?"
Apple pointed to the glass ball above the hourglass and said, "This is the sun." Then he pointed to the bottom and said, "This is the moon."
Wu Tong looked at Apple's innocent smiling face kindly. But Apple didn't notice Wu Tong's gaze, all her attention was attracted by the beautiful hourglass in her hand.
Apple jumped down from Wu Tong's arms, and put the hourglass neatly on the flat coffee table.At this time, the sand grains are all on the moon, and the sun is empty.
Then, Apple bouncing into the room to take out the small schoolbag and took out his watch.Then, she pulled out a small bench from under the coffee table, sat upright, and stared at the pointer seriously.When the second hand came to twelve, she turned the hourglass upside down, and the grains of sand ran hurriedly again.
I saw Apple's eyes hurriedly wandering between the hourglass and the watch, counting the time for the sand grains to run from the moon to the sun.
Wu Tong doesn't know, Apple doesn't know, maybe no one knows at all, there is actually an hourglass world in that glass ball, inhabited by thousands of sand people.
Apple played the hourglass for an afternoon, and finally got tired of it.She put the new toy on the bookshelf and looked at it occasionally, instead of taking it down and tossing it upside down.
Children's enthusiasm often lasts only a few minutes, and new toys will eventually be shelved. It is good to have a safe place to go.
Apple has no father, and her mother will soon die, but she has a aunt who loves her, which is considered a blessing in misfortune.
While looking at the company's information, Wu Tong coaxed Qiao Yimo to sleep.
From time to time, Wu Tong took out a hand from the pile of materials to pat Qiao Yimo. Xiao Yimo didn't cry or make trouble, but he didn't sleep either.
Wu Tong found a fairy tale from his phone and played it to Qiao Yimo. Within 10 minutes, Xiao Yimo fell asleep.
After Qiao Yimo fell asleep, Wu Tong quietly turned off the phone, and continued to look at the file, and the time passed bit by bit.
When the clock on the wall showed [-]:[-], Zheng Jiaxuan hadn't come back yet.
Wu Tong put away the documents, turned off the lights and lay down next to the crib. Due to exhaustion, she soon fell asleep drowsily.
Not long after falling asleep, Wu Tong suddenly heard the sound of the door.
With the help of the faint moonlight, Wu Tong looked at the time on the clock, it showed [-]:[-].
Wu Tong didn't get up, she heard Zheng Jiaxuan closed the door and went to the bathroom.Soon, the sound of running water from the shower came, and after a while the sound of water stopped. Zheng Jiaxuan walked to the end of the bed with the aroma after bathing and sat down. He sat quietly like this for a long time.
Wu Tong peeked at Zheng Jiaxuan's silhouette hidden in the darkness, and his memory suddenly returned to the spring ten years ago, the spring when the undercurrent surged in Guanzhou.
At that time, the cold air in Guanzhou had not completely faded away, but it was only occasionally mixed with the warmth of a few spring breezes.
In winter in Guanzhou, all things are kept alive, and the trees are full of green leaves.
During those few days, it rained non-stop in Guanzhou, and there was dampness everywhere.
Wu Tong and Yang Hanfeng received a mission to catch a murderer who raped and killed a girl.
It was the first time Wu Tong saw such a bloody and brutal rape and murder scene. Even through the photos, Wu Tong's blood gushed instantly, and he couldn't help shaking with anger.
In the rain, Wu Tong and Yang Hanfeng wore black raincoats and hid behind the big rusty iron gate, quietly observing the situation inside the gate.
Wu Tong was holding a sharp dagger in her slender hand, and she was holding it tighter and tighter, her fingernails were turning white, and her finger bones were about to burst out of her skin.
Yang Hanfeng wrapped Wu Tong's hand firmly in his palm with his powerful big hand, trying to calm Wu Tong down.
In order to avoid being discovered, the two chose to come out to investigate the situation in such a rainy and gloomy weather.At this time, it was already late at night, and Wu Tong, who had been drenched in the rain for twenty hours, was still unwilling to leave.
Compared to Wu Tong, Yang Hanfeng was a little calmer.
Yang Hanfeng persuaded Wu Tong to leave many times, but Wu Tong was like a mad lion, how could he give up.
Wu Tong's hazel pupils shone fiercely under the moonlight, and she clearly imprinted the murderer's face in her mind.Anyone who participated in the rape and murder must pay the price, including all onlookers.
In Wu Tong's values, onlookers who do nothing are equally guilty.
As sinful as the murderer is, so are the sins of the onlookers.
A young and pretty girl just disappeared in this world.She left the world with a broken and ugly corpse, just thinking about it feels cruel.
Many people will always do many wrong things for money and power, and hurt many innocent people;
There are always some people who, for their own lust and sadistic desires, make actions that will send themselves to hell.
During that time, Wu Tong saw clearly the evil nature of human beings.
There is no limit to the cruelty of human beings, which can never be imagined.
The wind drove rainwater into the raincoat, and Wu Tong and Yang Hanfeng were thoroughly wet inside and out.
Just as they were about to leave, dozens of people rushed out from the iron gate in an instant.
The number of opponents was beyond their expectation.
There were obviously less than ten people in it before, so why did so many helpers suddenly descend from the sky?
Wu Tong felt sorry for her recklessness. At that moment, she worried that Yang Hanfeng would be implicated because of her stubbornness.
Fortunately, during the retreat, a nobleman appeared and carried them away from the dangerous area on a motorcycle.
Before Wu Tong and Yang Hanfeng had time to thank him, the man disappeared into the rain in the dark night.
The next day, when the sun was rising with dew and moisture, Wu Tong dragged his rain-soaked clothes back to the dormitory of the Golden Dragon Gang.
Wu Tong came to the bathroom mechanically, turned on the shower, and the falling warm water warmed her body up a little.
At that moment, Wu Tong felt very dazed.Who is the person who rescued them?Why save them?Did the rescuer happen to pass by and rescue them, or did they come here on purpose?Wu Tong is still unknown.
Wu Tong has never solved this doubt.
At this moment, Wu Tong was lying on the bed, quietly looking at Zheng Jiaxuan sitting at the foot of the bed, the past flashed up instantly, and Wu Tong suddenly found the answer.
"Jiaxuan." Wu Tong sat up and called softly.
Zheng Jiaxuan turned his head, "En? Did it wake you up?"
In the dark night, Wu Tong's eyes sparkled, "Did you save me before?"
After so many years, Zheng Jiaxuan didn't think of that period of time.
"Ten years ago, in spring, on a rainy night, Yang Hanfeng and I were hunted down. Did you rescue us on a motorcycle?" Wu Tong finished speaking, biting his lower lip, waiting for Zheng Jiaxuan's answer.
Zheng Jiaxuan thought for a while and said, "Well, it's me."
Wu Tong suddenly had a sore nose and hot eyes, and his heart beat faster, "Why did you just run away at that time? We didn't even have time to say thank you to you..."
Zheng Jiaxuan wrote lightly: "It's nothing more than a little effort."
"But, you saved our lives." Wu Tong repeated, "You saved two lives..."
Zheng Jiaxuan: "I have also killed people..."
"..." Wu Tong moved to Zheng Jiaxuan's side, hugged Zheng Jiaxuan's waist, and said softly: "All you kill are bad people."
"There are good people too." Zheng Jiaxuan remained motionless, letting Wu Tong hold him.
Wu Tong buried his face in Zheng Jiaxuan's arm, "That was an accident..."
Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Zheng Jiaxuan hugged Wu Tong into his arms, his soft body instantly healed all his sorrows.
**
Xia Wenhe experienced the worst day of her life.Although her life is far from over, she believes that this must be the worst day of her life.
In the morning, as soon as Xia Wenhe stepped out of the house, she collided with a neighbor who just came out to take out the trash, and she was splashed with a shoe of vegetable soup.
After Xia Wenhe cleaned up, she came to the elevator, looked up, and found that both elevators were out of order.
Xia Wenhe had to prepare and walked down from the sixteenth floor.There are few people walking on the stairs, and the emergency lights on many floors are not on.She took out her mobile phone and looked at it. The low battery could not turn on the flashlight function, so she meowed.She finally walked out of the community in the dark, but it started to rain heavily again.
After all kinds of hardships, I finally arrived at school, but Xia Wenhe was already late.There are only three days of check-ups every month, and on this day she was caught by the principal, so she was inevitably scolded again.
When she arrived in class, Xia Wenhe realized that she had forgotten to bring her homework, and she just couldn't do the questions that the teacher called out.
It wasn't until physical education class that Xia Wenhe realized that her aunt had come, and there were stains on her pants. I don't know if anyone noticed.
These are small things, but they are just annoying.
The real big thing was that the father who asked Xia Wenhe to have dinner with him in the morning had a sudden myocardial infarction and was sent to the hospital.
After Xia Wenhe received a call from home, she rushed to the hospital in a hurry.Before she finished listening to the doctor's words, her father was gone.
Life, sometimes it is so fragile.
Mother Xia held her husband's hand and sat beside the hospital bed, weeping silently.
Soon, the cousin who was in confinement also rushed over.The brother-in-law pushed the cousin in a wheelchair, and the cousin was still holding Xia Wenhe's little niece in her arms.
The alternation and continuation of life is probably like this.
This day seems to be a long time that will never end.Xia's mother fainted in the corridor of the hospital at noon due to excessive grief.
The doctor asked Xia Wenhe to go through the hospitalization procedures and told her that Xia's mother's cancer cells had also spread.
At this time, Xia Wenhe, unexpectedly knew that her mother had been diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer half a year ago, and Xia's father and mother had been hiding it from her.
Just when Xia Wenhe returned to the ward after completing the hospitalization procedures, she heard another bad news—Mother Xia also passed away.Xia's mother swallowed a whole box of antihypertensive medicine, which was left over from Xia's father.
The cousin cried and told Xia Wenhe that when Xia's mother knew that her cancer cells had spread, she actually laughed, and she laughed happily.
Probably, Mother Xia wants to accompany Father Xia!They have been together for more than 30 years, and they decided to walk together in the final journey, which should be happiness.
The cousin was originally in poor health, and the child was delivered by caesarean section. In addition, the mood fluctuated too much on this day, and the milk supply became less and less, and the child was so hungry that he cried.The nurse saw that Xia Wenhe and her brother-in-law were busy notifying relatives and preparing for the funeral of the two old people, so busy that they didn't even have time to grieve, so she kindly bought milk powder to take care of the baby temporarily.
After the hasty and chaotic funeral, Xia Wenhe slowly recovered.Sitting in the empty room, she felt extremely cold.In the past, she always felt that her home was small, but now that she saw how this house of less than [-] square meters had suddenly become so big, she felt that her words echoed.
There seemed to be the smell of tobacco left by his father in the bathroom. Before, he didn't feel choked when he smoked in front of his face. After such a long time, he smelled the lingering aftertaste. How could Xia Wenhe feel so choked that he wanted to cry.
Xia's mother's skirt was still hanging on the hanger. Xia Wenhe touched it and found that it was completely dry.
Mother Xia is tall and looks beautiful in skirts.My father said that he fell in love with the girl who was wearing a long skirt and doing gymnastics on the playground from a distance.
However, Xia's father was not as tall as Xia's mother, so he didn't have the courage to pursue him at that time.
Fortunately, Xia's mother noticed the poems and articles that Xia's father frequently published in the school newspaper, and found Xia's father by following the name behind the article.
The woman who dared to love and hate confessed her love first, and then Mother Xia found out that the talent she admired had been secretly in love with her for a long time.
Fate is very subtle.God will not let two good people miss happiness, Xia Wenhe has always believed in this.
Suddenly, Xia Wenhe became an orphan.
The cousin and brother-in-law asked her to live with her, but Xia Wenhe refused.
She is old enough to live on her own and to take care of herself.
Xia Wenhe is strong, reality did not knock her down.
As everyone knows, the sequelae left by such an accident did not appear immediately.In the long years, it was like a blunt knife, cutting her happiness bit by bit.
However, Xia Wenhe still doesn't realize this.
Ji Jie asked for leave to accompany Xia Wenhe for a few days. Ji Jie, who lived alone all year round, understood the loneliness of being alone.
He thought that Xia Wenhe, who grew up under the wing of her parents, must not be able to adapt to a life that suddenly became colder.
Ji Jie accompanied Xia Wenhe on a trip, watching the sunrise and the sea with Xia Wenhe.
At the beach, Xia Wenhe said that she wanted to take a boat.
Ji Jie hired a small boat to take Xia Wenhe out to sea. The boatman said that the weather was good recently and he could take them to catch fish.
As a result, no one expected that the weather would change suddenly.
The calm sea suddenly roared wildly like a tsunami.The sky was still clear just now, but in a blink of an eye, the dark clouds settled down.
The wind whipped up waves and rushed towards the wooden boat. The wooden boat was like a dead leaf falling into the sea, swaying with the waves and resigned to its fate.
Before the three people on board could react, the sea water filled the boat.
Ji Jie hugged the fence around him tightly, squinting his eyes and looking at the sky, he couldn't figure out why the weather suddenly changed.Before going out to sea, he checked the sky carefully. According to common sense, it should be sunny for four or five days.
He really couldn't figure it out.
Xia Wenhe suddenly burst into tears on the other side: "Mr. Ji, I'm scared, I don't want to die yet..."
The shadows of her deceased parents suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and Xia Wenhe was so frightened that she trembled all over, feeling inexplicably that her parents might be taking her away from this world.
The situation was getting worse and worse, not far away there was a huge wave high enough to smash the boat to pieces.
Ji Jie smiled lightly, and hurried through life, although it was a bit short, but since it was God's will, this is the only way to go.
Whether it is a great ambition or a beautiful blueprint, it will be left to the next life, if there is a next life.
Xia Wenhe was so frightened when she saw the high wave rushing towards her.
Before the wave came in front of her eyes, Xia Wenhe fainted and was involved in the breaking waves.
Ji Jie watched Xia Wenhe disappear into the white waves, knowing that he couldn't hold on for long, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose had already poured a lot of cold water.
There was a rumble in the ear, and the white mist in front of his eyes seemed to be a sign of the disappearance of life.
Just when the last faint consciousness was about to disappear, Ji Jie suddenly felt a huge force coming from the bottom of the sea.This force seemed to be resisting the impact of the waves, helping him to support the crumbling and shattering boat.
I don't know how long it took, but it finally calmed down.When Ji Jie woke up on the wet deck, Xia Wenhe was beside him, but he was still unconscious.
"Xia Wenhe, Xia Wenhe, wake up." Ji Jie thumped Xia Wenhe's chest, and slapped her on the face a few times.
Just when Ji Jie was considering whether to give Xia Wenhe artificial respiration, Xia Wenhe suddenly vomited a few mouthfuls of seawater and woke up leisurely.
Xia Wenhe took a lot of effort to open her eyes, and when she saw Ji Jie, she hugged him tightly, crying bitterly, "Mr. Ji, am I alive or dead now... Bah, bah, bah... so salty, so fishy, what kind of world is this, the food is so unpalatable..."
Ji Jie smiled slightly, pinched Xia Wenhe's cold face, "We're still at sea."
"What? Where? On the sea? Am I going to hell? Shouldn't I be on the clouds if I go to heaven? Huh... No, Teacher Ji, why don't you..."
This silly girl, Ji Jie shook her head, stopped listening to Xia Wenhe's nonsense, and turned to check the damage of the ship.
In fact, there is nothing to see. It is very reluctant to say that it is a boat. Now there are only a few large wooden stakes to support the hull.
The boatman disappeared at some point, most likely washed away by the waves.
Although Ji Jie and Xia Wenhe are still alive, the boat cannot sail.If they can't reach the shore, they don't get enough fresh water in their bodies, and they will also die of dehydration very quickly.
So, the situation is still not very optimistic.
At this time, the sun became fierce again, and the wooden planks and clothes on my body were quickly dried by the sun and sea breeze.Both Ji Jie and Xia Wenhe also gradually sweated, which accelerated the loss of water in their bodies.
"Mr. Ji, I'm so thirsty... Let's get some water to drink." Xia Wenhe leaned over and tried to drink water from the cracks in the wooden boards.
"No!" Ji Jie mentioned Xia Wenhe, "Sea water is salty, drinking it will make you thirstier."
Ji Jie kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and swallowed.
If someone must die today, why did they escape just now? !
If they can achieve extreme prosperity today, who can show them the way? !
There is no reference object on the sea, and there is a vast sea in all directions.
They have neither the tools to row nor the destination in sight.
Ji Jie grew up by the river when he was a child, and he often went down to the river to swim and bathe, so he has excellent water skills and a wealth of knowledge about astronomy and navigation.Say
But at this moment, he didn't even know which direction the boat was going.He wasn't even sure if the boat had just stayed where it was.
Is the ship circling a certain course?
Although Ji Jie thought of countless possibilities, none of them could be verified.
Xia Wenhe lay limply on the board, like a snowman about to melt, she fell asleep several times but was dragged up by Ji Jie.
The sun gradually sank, setting towards the west.
Ji Jie tried to distinguish the east, west, and north from the direction of the sun setting, but no matter which direction he stood, the setting sun was on his right.
What's going on here?Ji Jie became more and more confused.
A tall young man stood upright on the dilapidated wooden boat.
The setting sun hit his face without hesitation, he looked so cold and handsome.
He was young, with a soft frame and sculpted lines of a handsome man.
His lips were soft, pouted slightly when he was in a daze.
His nose is straight and straight, there is no excess fat on his cheeks, and his skin has not been damaged by the scorching sun and harsh wind at sea, and is still as smooth and tender as a baby.
On the whole face, the most prominent strength is his eyes, which are as bright as wolf's eyes and as sharp as eagle's eyes.
Xia Wenhe was stunned by Ji Jie like this, for a moment she even forgot to be afraid.
Xia Wenhe was lying on the deck of the boat, her face was full of innocence and her eyes were clear.
Ji Jie once went to sea with his father's friend. This friend of his father encountered countless shipwrecks, large and small, and most of the situations were recorded in his sailing diary.
Ji Jie looked through this nautical diary, and it was very detailed, and the reasons for each accident were written very clearly.
For example, the observers did not pay attention to the reef, causing the ship to run aground and leak water;
Or observe the celestial phenomena, make mistakes in weather judgment, and so on.
There are gaps in the diary, and some content that was filled in later.
For example, the subdivision of complex astronomical phenomena, and how to more accurately judge the weather in the future;
Or the appearance and appearance of some ferocious fish schools, etc.
The occurrence of all these situations can find the reason, and can find out the main point of avoiding the disaster.
But this time, it seemed extraordinarily unusual.Ji Jie thought hard for a long time, but couldn't figure out any clues.
Ji Jie reviewed the sailing diary several times, but he couldn't find anything similar to this time.
He carefully recalled the celestial phenomena, and there was nothing unusual about it, which clearly indicated good weather. What is the problem?
Most importantly, how are they going to land now?
Ji Jie also felt dizzy.
In a trance, he seemed to see a lot of fish swimming in the sea around the boat, but when he looked around, there was nothing.
However, after a while, the fish gathered again dimly.
Ji Jie felt that he could no longer stand steadily as before. Could it be that his physical strength has dropped so fast?
wrong!Ji Jie suddenly realized that it was the boat that was moving.
Now there is no wind, how can the boat drive by itself?
"Xia Wenhe, stinky girl, wake up!" Ji Jie shook Xia Wenhe awake again.
Xia Wenhe turned over, her center of gravity became unstable, and she fell to a corner of the boat.
Ji Jie: "Girl, do you feel like the boat is moving..."
Xia Wenhe's consciousness was not fully awake yet, she rubbed her eyes, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint shadow in the gap between the splints from the corner of her eye.
She was so frightened that she suddenly jumped up, jumped to Ji Jie's side, and stammered, "There is someone! Teacher Ji! There is someone there!"
Ji Jie's face was serious, and he was about to walk in the direction Xia Wenhe pointed.However, just as he took a step forward, the boat suddenly slowed down, and Ji Jie fell backwards suddenly.
Xia Wenhe hurried over to support Ji Jie, and then Ji Jie stabilized his center of gravity.He walked forward again, and this time he walked smoothly to the place Xia Wenhe said.
Ji Jie looked into the gap between the splints, but saw nothing.
There was nothing, and he couldn't help but suspect that Xia Wenhe had hallucinations.
Ji Jie: "Could it be the boatman?"
Xia Wenhe shook her head, "I don't know, it's just a shadow, I didn't see it clearly, it scared me to death!"
Ji Jie sat cross-legged on the splint and listened quietly.
He listened for a long time, and it was getting dark.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes thoughtfully, and said to Xia Wenhe in a deep voice, "Girl, you were right just now."
"What did I say?" Xia Wenhe asked extremely guilty.
Ji Jie said, "There should be someone."
Xia Wenhe said in a crying voice: "How is this possible? I must have fainted from thirst, fainted from hunger, and my eyes are blurred."
Ji Jie beckoned Xia Wenhe to come over, and Xia Wenhe moved her buttocks a little bit and came over.
Ji Jie whispered, "Listen, besides the sound of the boat hitting the water, are there any other sounds?"
Xia Wenhe listened carefully for a while, "Oh, it's all the sound of water waves, don't scare me!"
Ji Jie said, "No! There are other voices."
"How could there be anyone else here besides the two of us? Some of them are already dead! Teacher Ji, don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more scared I become!" Xia Wenhe begged.
Ji Jie thought for a while, and tentatively tapped the splint three times with his knuckles, but there was no response from the boat.
Xia Wenhe felt that Ji Jie must be crazy, so she lay down on the board of the boat and continued to close her eyes to rest.
Ji Jie increased the force of the tapping, and tapped again "Du-Du-Du-Du-" three times, but there was still no response.
Ji Jie didn't give up, so he hit harder, until his knuckles bled, "Du-duk-duk--"
Suddenly, the speed of the boat slowed down, but it recovered quickly. This brief and delicate moment made Ji Jie a little excited.
Yes, there must be something living under the boat.
Although according to common sense, this is impossible.
But now, there is indeed a creature trying to save them, could it be a dolphin?
Ji Jie thought about countless possibilities, but they all found it incredible.
In this way, the boat gradually moved towards the shore.
When they returned to the place where they boarded the boat and searched for the creature that saved them, they found nothing.
Xia Wenhe was frightened, and they rushed back to downtown Guanzhou overnight.
Shock briefly healed Xia Wenhe's grief of losing a loved one, using one kind of stimulation to dilute another kind of stimulation can be regarded as the therapy of fighting poison with fire.
"Looking at you on the boat frightened you. You always said you were brave, so you must have exposed your secrets." In Ji Jie's sarcastic words, there was actually not much irony in it.
"Why, can't you? Are you not afraid? Cut!" Xia Wenhe rolled her eyes.
Ji Jie smiled faintly and rubbed Xia Wenhe's wet hair.
**
The temperature in Guanzhou City hovers in the [-]s. When it rains, it is a bit cold and humid. After the rain, the sky is clear and warm.
Wu Tong was wearing a small brand black short padded jacket and brown slacks, sitting in the living room of the hotel suite.
On the opposite side is a woman wearing an expensive custom-made suit. The woman is not very iconic, but she is full of aura.
He looks like he's in his early thirties, but he's actually in his 50s.
"Wu Tong, isn't it?" the woman leaned gracefully on the back of the leather sofa and asked.
Wu Tong nodded calmly.
The woman smiled slightly and said, "Let me introduce myself to you. I used to be Zheng Fangzhou's woman."
Wu Tong looked at the woman and said with a smile, "Say it straight, what can you do with me?"
The woman picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip, "It's nothing. I heard that you married into the Zheng family. Let me chat with you."
"You want to go back to Zheng Fangzhou, don't you?" Wu Tong didn't have time to play riddles and practice Tai Chi with her here.
The woman looked up at Wu Tong in a little surprise, and Wu Tong said immediately: "Just say what you want me to do. If it doesn't violate my principles, I should help you."
"Don't be so impatient, come, have a sip of tea, this is good tea..." The woman made a gesture of invitation with one hand.
"I have something to do in a while, so I won't waste your precious time. Come to me after you think it over. I won't give you advice. I can't take this responsibility. You and I know it well, Zheng Fang Zhou is not a man to mess with. I don't know his love history very well. Probably only he knows how many women he has. It's not up to me who he wants to keep by his side, and you probably don't have a say. So, think about what to do first, and come to me when the time comes. What I can tell you is that I am willing to help you."
After Wu Tong finished speaking, he stood up and left the room.
The woman froze in place, digesting Wu Tong's words.
After Wu Tong came out of the hotel suite, he walked along the noisy road.
Over the past few decades, Guanzhou has undergone tremendous changes, and the shadow of the past can no longer be seen.
But this small street has not changed at all, like a child who is not motivated, but happy alone.
At noon the next day, Wu Tong and Zheng Jiaxuan asked Lao Xiao and Lili to have dinner near Xuanshi.
As a result, Zheng Jiaxuan let them go because of a temporary emergency, but he recommended a small shop.
When the three of them came to the roast goose restaurant, the small facade was full of people, most of them were students from the middle school opposite.
"Boss, cut more meat for me! Look, it's all bones! That, that, give me more char siu! The eggs are too raw, fry them for me! Let me scald two more slices of lettuce! That Soup, pour me more!" As soon as I entered, I heard a man nagging, his voice was like a sterilized rooster.
The good-tempered boss flattered, "The ones for you are definitely the best, don't worry!"
"Your business is really good! You have to wait so long every time, and you don't have to eat when you come late." The man before continued to choke the voice of the male duck in the voice-changing period.
"I haven't seen you here for a long time, are you busy recently?" the boss asked while cutting the meat.
"There are too many projects recently, and these projects can't do without me! The leader strongly asked me to take the lead." The man showed his ability proudly.
Yang Huili almost vomited on the spot.
Xiao Enliang went to occupy a seat first, and Yang Huili and Wu Tong went to line up to buy food together.
After the first two customers bought and left, Yang Huili and Wu Tong moved forward a few steps, and only then did they see the person who just spoke clearly.
I saw that he had a smooth forehead, only a few hairs with strong perseverance were pulled out from the back of his head, and the few strands were knotted together alone, which made people feel sad.
This man should not lead a group to any project, he is more suitable to be an acrobat.The top of the head, which is as flat as a horizontal plane, can firmly support a round pot, and the big windy ears have a strong comic effect without much decoration.
The bushy eyebrows make his eyes very small, and when he laughs triumphantly, his whole face looks like a sinner who has been quartered by five horses.
Yang Huili sighed in a low voice: "It really sounds like a person, and it has reached a perfect consistency..."
The man glanced at Yang Huili, but he didn't understand Yang Huili's implication. He even smiled disgustingly at Yang Huili.
