My expression couldn't be hidden from Chen Yu. She put down my hand and asked, "Why, are you feeling distressed?"
I didn't answer, I couldn't tell what was going on. Suddenly, I said to myself, this won't work. Why does my heart hurt? Is it because that "Chen Yu" with the injury on his face died?
If what just appeared were the real and fake Wen Ge, then no matter which one died, I wouldn't even look at it twice.
Whether I admit it or not, I already have a very subtle emotion towards this woman. Indeed, when I first met her, I was wary of her and a little disgusted with her, but many things happened after that that influenced me subtly.
mentality. Maybe in normal times, this kind of psychology is not so obvious, and even I can't notice it. But when she was in danger, I would risk my life to save her.
This is a very sad thing. Our two positions and identities are destined to something that cannot be changed.
There was no need for so many people on the river, and some people went back outside. The fake Chen Yu's body was placed far away, ready to be burned. I admired Chen Yu for making such a decision. She just smiled and said to me
: "That's not me, that's just a stranger."
It wasn't until these things were done that I felt free, and I began to face up to the secrets Brother Wen said. If it was a long time ago, I would just take it as a joke when I heard such "secrets", but now, I can't help it
So calm.
I want to call my dad. If I can get through, I want to have a good chat with him. If I really can’t get through, I plan to go to the address he gave me to see what he will leave for me.
What do I have? According to him, that thing is very important. So far, I can only think of so many things. I can only take one step at a time.
I told Chen Yu my plan. I didn't go into details. I just said that I wanted to go down the mountain to do some errands.
"It's a bit difficult now. As you know, Brother Wen hasn't come back. If I went with you, there would be no one in Shiyanchuan to hold the line, and things would get messy."
"You don't have to go with me. If you're worried, just ask two people to follow me."
I think I should keep a certain distance from Chen Yu. I know myself too well. Although I am a bit rogue, if the feelings in my heart really slowly ferment to a certain point, I may not be able to control myself. So,
I think that's it. She and I have never crossed paths. If we meet by chance, we can just treat it as a beautiful or bitter encounter and pass it by.
"I have to go. What are you going to do? I won't stop you, and I will fully assist you." Chen Yu lowered his voice and said softly, "Listen to me. When Brother Wen comes back, I will accompany you."
you go."
I smiled bitterly. The word "accompany" was really well used. If she was the vegetable seller, I think I would be so happy that I couldn't sleep. I didn't fight anymore, it was useless, Chen Yu would not let go like this.
I leave.
The next time is to wait for Brother Wen to return from the abyss. I don’t know what the chance of him coming back. Anyway, two days have passed and there is no movement on the other side of the abyss except for the three guys who have been waiting.
.Chen Yu started to get anxious. She knew Brother Wen's style of doing things and his personality. If he hadn't been entangled in something and couldn't get away, he should be back in the shortest possible time.
She kept sending people to the river to inquire, and she would go there several times a day to take a look. I took this opportunity to have a good rest. The abyss gave me a deep fear. I originally thought that Brother Wen
There was little hope of coming back, but on the fifth day, he came back. Not only was he back, but he seemed to be fine.
He came back lightly, so much equipment was a burden when he returned and was all thrown away. His mental state was not very good, like a person who had just recovered from a serious illness, but his thinking and consciousness were extremely clear.
I guessed that he might not have had much rest during the past five days, which resulted in severe physical exhaustion. There was a commotion around him, and everyone was trying to lift him. I didn't have the chance to ask, so I had to hold back for the time being.
Brother Wen was not injured, so he recovered very quickly. He only rested for one day. I asked him to talk to him about going out down the mountain. In fact, I also wanted to ask about what I found in the abyss.
"What's down there?"
"I said it, but you still think I'm lying to you." Brother Wen said, "There's nothing down there."
It is wrong to say that there is nothing. We may not feel anything at the edge of the abyss, but there are indeed geothermal resources at the bottom of the abyss. The water in the springs in some places has boiled, and the space temperature and humidity are quite high. People
It will be unbearable to stay in that environment for a while, especially the high-temperature steam. If you accidentally go to the wrong place, it will burn your respiratory tract, which will be troublesome.
"There is a bottomless abyss down there, but I really don't have the strength to explore it anymore." Brother Wen handed me a cigarette and said, "We'll talk about it after I fully recover."
"Is there another abyss?" I'm a little doubtful. Actually, I don't doubt the existence of the second abyss. I just wonder what Brother Wen has done in these five days. The bottom area of the abyss is definitely not too big, and he doesn't need it.
Spend a few days searching for an abyss that is easy to spot.
"The situation in the second abyss is more complicated and unsafe. I estimate that if I don't wear asbestos suits, I might not be able to go down because the temperature is too high."
I didn’t want Brother Wen to tell the truth anymore, so I stopped the topic and told him about wanting to go down the mountain. This time Brother Wen was very straightforward and nodded directly. He also reiterated that I am not a prisoner. These freedoms
It should be there.
"Then I really thank you." I turned around and wanted to leave, but after taking a step, I pulled back and asked him: "Don't you ask me why I went down the mountain?"
"You, me, and other people, everyone will have something they don't want to say, right?" Brother Wen sucked the butt of his cigarette and said, "Go, but you have to remember, it's best not to find it on the road.
Trouble, you are actually causing trouble for yourself and Xiaoyu."
I scolded him in my heart. Brother Wen is a thief. He even noticed the inexplicable and subtle relationship between Chen Yu and I. He was actually reminding me that if I wanted to cause any trouble, I might
Chen Yu must be implicated.
That day I set off with Chen Yu and another person. We were speechless all the way. We changed trains in Gannan and headed for Lanzhou. I was very unfamiliar with this city. What impressed me most was the sweet stinging mouth of yellow river honey. I asked someone to inquire.
Looking at the address my dad gave me, the other person said that this place is not in the city of Lanzhou, but in Honggu District. It is said to be a district, but in fact it is still a drive away from Lanzhou and is almost to Haishiwan.
We immediately followed the correct route and rushed there. The specific location was between Honggu District and Haishi Bay. When we walked here, I saw patches of apple orchards. When I thought about it again, my dad gave me
The specific address is in the orchard?
Finally, I touched the place. It was indeed an orchard. There were no fences in the orchards. Each orchard had at most one trench dug out as a boundary. But I saw a fence erected around the outside of the apple orchard.
Draw a clear boundary with other orchards.
Seeing this, I suddenly felt that this orchard seemed to be my father's psychology. He had also built a fence in his heart, and no one could enter.
I smelled a strong smell of fermentation after rotting fruits. I don’t know how many layers of fallen leaves and overripe apples had been laid in the orchard. There was another orchard about 200 to 300 meters away. It was probably planted.
It is an early-maturing variety, and you can already see people making preparations before picking.
We went over and had a chat with the orchard, and he was a very down-to-earth farmer who easily got us talking. He said that the orchard I was going to was rented out by someone else. It was strange. Normally no one would take care of it.
Let the fruit grow by itself, and when it is time to pick the fruit, someone will come over, but they only picked a symbolic amount, and the rest fell to the ground and rotted. I asked him who the owner of the orchard was, the farmer.
He shook his head and said he had never seen it before.
We returned to Guoyuanzi. No matter what, I was still wary of Chen Yu and his gang. I asked Chen Yu and another follower to stay outside and go in and have a look. Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, maybe because he was afraid of being unsafe.
But I firmly refused them to follow me. This was the address given by my father. He would not trick me here and then harm me.
"Be careful and contact me immediately if anything happens."
The man opened a hole in the fence, and I got in. This orchard is not big, and it is not much different from other orchards. The only difference is that at one end of the orchard, there is a small small house.
No one stole the orchards, so most of the gardens were left unattended. When I walked to the hut, I couldn't describe my mood.
The lonely hut, soaked in the fermented atmosphere catalyzed by time, seems to have been separated from the outside world. The lock of the hut is only symbolic and can be opened with a push.
Before I opened the door, I was inexplicably a little excited and a little nervous. My dad made it very clear on the phone that what he left me could change the fate of many people. I am not a savior, and I don’t have the ability to do it.
After saving so many people, if it weren't for the "secret" revealed by Brother Wen, I might have unswervingly followed my father's instructions at that time and come back here when the time is right. But now, I just want to see what he left behind
What did I do?
I took a breath and slowly opened the door of the cabin.
