Chapter 153 Going to the affairs of people's tears, replacing the immortals in the reeds
In front of Zhou Bashi was a tall girl, quite beautiful, with a good temperament. Her name was Shen Qian, Zhou Bashi's first girlfriend when he was in middle school and high school, and the one who dumped him.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Zhou Bazhu said hello, and the classmates around him said that Lao Zhou was quite open-minded, or thick-skinned, but the quarrel back then was not very good-looking. The two of them did not break up peacefully, but Shen Qian was very merciless. I embarrassed Zhou Baqi and dumped him. The situation was extremely embarrassing and embarrassing.
"Don't bother me, stay away from me, I don't like you anymore, please stop pestering me, okay?"
These were Shen Qian's exact words at that time, which she yelled at Zhou Baqu in front of many classmates in the class. It is said that anyone with a little bit of integrity should have lived in thirty years in Hexi and thirty years in Hedong. Don't bully young people. If you are poor, you should be tough enough to regain your face if someone dumps you.
But Zhou Bachu just smiled at that time and told Shen Qian not to be too angry. This only made some classmates who were not very dealing with him at the time and were bitter about him, just adding to the laughing stock and giving him a bad evaluation.
Adolescent students, young and inexperienced, always admire and like goddesses. Even if they don't have the courage to chase her, they will feel uncomfortable when they see others succeed in chasing her. If they feel uncomfortable, they will scold her openly and covertly.
When Zhou Ba Wa and Shen Qian were dating, there was a lot of pressure from the outside world. Many people secretly scolded him for being a dog licker and a slave boy. They said it was useless to even lick the face of a goddess. It was just too many dog lickers that destroyed the market. It was because of my dignity that I didn't lick the goddess, and the bad money drove away the good money.
Later, when Zhou Bashi was dumped, they were even more happy and angry. Look, this is the end of licking a dog. In the end, there is nothing left, and both human and dignity are lost, haha.
Although it has been many years since this happened, everyone felt that if it happened to them, they would be upset. The more generous ones would no longer interact with each other, while the more petty ones would have to wait for a chance to fight back, even though it was possible. It's fine, it's not high. Shen Qian's resume and conditions are too good. Such an ex's insistence on regaining face will only bring shame on himself and make him feel ashamed.
But what I didn't expect was that Zhou Ba Wa had a strong ability to withstand pressure. He even took the initiative to talk to him, and he was not afraid that the other party would step on him again and make people laugh, causing people around him to murmur in low voices.
"Hey, do you think Lao Zhou still can't forget me?"
"It's possible. After all, with Shen Qian's conditions, it's hard to see anyone else after talking to her. I guess Lao Zhou is in deep trouble."
"Tsk, if it sounds good, it's a matter of devotion, but if it sounds bad, it's just dog-licking. How can any woman nowadays like this kind of dog-licking?"
In the eyes of outsiders, the gap between the two of them was quite big back then, but now the gap is even bigger. It’s no wonder that the buddy just reminded Zhou Bashi that he shouldn’t come. You are not afraid of meeting your ex, but you are afraid that your ex will live a better life than you.
Shen Qian glanced at Zhou Baqu who was greeting her, ignored him, turned around and walked away. Zhou Baqu scratched his head. Others saw that his face was filled with self-inflicted embarrassment, but few saw that it was a sign of apology and helplessness.
There was nothing to say about the Hexian BBQ at the party at noon. Shen Qian chatted with her old classmates for a few words, but never paid any attention to Zhou Bazhu. Zhou Bazhu was even more shameless and didn't care. He should eat and drink when he should, but he spent money to eat After returning to work, everyone went to the stream to play rafting in the afternoon. Wearing the life jackets provided by the farmhouse, several people and one kayak traveled from upstream to downstream.
When getting on the kayak, Shen Qian got into a two-person boat, followed closely by Zhou Baqi from the other end. People around saw it and asked why he was so entangled with others. He didn't want to scold him for being so entangled, but saw Shen Qian get into the kayak. Qian didn't have an attack this time and didn't speak. I don't know if she acquiesced or what she meant.
The water was gurgling, and the kayak left the shore and drifted down. The kayak, like a human being, reached the head of the distributary river and floated to a quiet and deserted place on the tributary. It was surrounded by reeds that were taller than a person. Something happened. Even if a corpse is thrown away, it will be completely covered up.
Then Zhou Ba wax felt his eyes darken and his chest sink.
The reeds were croaking and frogs were croaking.
Cough, with such force, Zhou Bazhou almost knocked out his alveoli. He lay down on the kayak, his fragrant green silk hair scattered on the kayak and his nose. Shen Qian hugged Zhou Bazhou tightly. He knocked the person down by his neck and buried his face behind his ear.
The reeds swayed, and there was first silence on the kayak, then soft sobbing, and then painful crying. Zhou Ba wax felt warm and moist in his ears, and he knew what that face looked like now without even looking.
How many years of youth have been hurt, that year, during the placement test for the first grade of Miyun No. 2 Middle School, Shen Qian was an excellent but introverted little girl. She forgot to bring an eraser to the exam that day. She was introverted in the exam room and did not dare to say anything in a hurry. , the boy at the next table secretly handed her an eraser.
The sprouting of youth is really very simple and pure. Unlike today, where you need to earn a lot of money as a gift from an RV to grow well, countless heavy things cannot move a heart. At that time, it was as simple as a bottle of water, a pair of glasses, and an elbow. Crossing the 38th parallel, she noticed him with a ponytail and an eraser.
"You asked if you can come and watch me play? Yes, what's not allowed? Give me some water? I want to drink Pocari."
"Come on, I went out to surf the Internet last night and didn't have time to do my homework. Lend me your homework to copy. Lin Yujing, you start. I'll borrow it from Shen Qian first. First come, first served. Do you understand?"
"You have a piano at home? It's amazing. I don't even have room for a piano at home. By the way, do you have a little bully at home?"
"You asked me if I have a girlfriend? No."
"You? Never thought about it. Are you asking if you can try? Um..."
"Damn it, my old class just catches the people in the class who are having sex. Why do you always use us two as role models? Did your dad come home yesterday and talk about you?"
"Have you changed your hairstyle for the new semester? It suits you very well."
"This weekend, I'm going to the billiard hall with Lin Yujing, Fang Peng and the others... Do you want to come too? Okay."
"Valentine's Day? Well, okay, let's spend it together."
"You have a piano competition next week that you want me to go to? I'm tone deaf and can't understand, and I can't understand...what, you said that if you can exchange the tickets for pastries at Holley's, then I'll definitely be there."
"I won't go today. Xiaojiu has eaten bad food and has a stomachache. I have to send her to the hospital. You said you understand, that's great. You said you want to come and see Xiaojiu after your game is over? No, no, no. .”
"Won the first prize? Congratulations. I'm asking Xiaojiu if she's feeling better. She's much better. Do you want me to go out for dinner tomorrow to celebrate? But I have an appointment with someone to play ball tomorrow. You think another day is fine?"
"I thought about it. I've been trying for so long, more than half a year, and I still don't feel it. Maybe I should break up."
"Don't cry... In this way, you can just tell others that you dumped me. That should make you feel better."
"Don't be too angry."
This was the last sentence Shen Qian heard from Zhou Bashi after she broke out in front of her classmates in her freshman year of high school. After that, Shen Qian went abroad and the two had no contact again.
Youth is in pain because of meeting the wrong person.
After Shen Qian went abroad, Zhou Ba wax remained as usual and soon forgot about this person. Although there were people around him who remembered her, such as my mother, Zhou Jiuling, and Lin Yujing. Some of them were even deeply impressed by her, but Zhou Ba wax himself But he didn't care much.
However, Shen Qian, who fled to a foreign country in order to avoid forgetting Zhou Ba Wa, ended up running deeper and deeper into the trap.
After Shen Qian went abroad, she became obsessed with studies and music to numb herself. She thought she could forget that person under such a long distance and the erosion of time, but she didn't. Whenever she expressed her feelings, it would make her feel nauseous, as if she had been poisoned, and Zhou Ba Wa would always appear in her heart.
People say that first love is the deepest poison that can be planted on people. Obviously, for Shen Qian, who values love, it is even more poisonous to the bone. She has never exchanged a message with Zhou Ba wax in the past few years, but she opens WeChat Zhou Ba wax every day. In the chat box, enter some words, then silently delete them and never send them out.
Shen Qian originally thought that she would have to spend a few years like this before Zhou Ba Wa's shadow in her heart could fade away, and she could truly get out of this relationship and start a new life.
But this year during the holidays, when Shen Qian was reading news online, she accidentally saw a familiar name on the news. It was like a fatal drug, which brought back memories of her high school days.
"The new dojo master of Bincheng Dojo, Lin Yujing, performed amazingly in this trial. He defeated his dark horse opponent Lu Shengdao and won the championship. In addition, the unexpected incident at Bincheng Dojo after the game..."
Lin Yujing? Shen Qian has a deep impression of this name. She was the girl who was around Zhou Baqu back then, the female friend who often played with him, and the person Shen Qian was on guard against.
Shen Qian discovered Lin Yujing when she first met Zhou Bashi. Although Zhou Bashi said that he was a close friend, Lin Yujing gave her a lot of help because of her understanding of women and her intuition. The sense of crisis can also be said to be the reason that later prompted Shen Qian to confess her love to Zhou Baqi early and declare her sovereignty. She was afraid that she would be robbed if she hesitated.
As a result, it was Shen Qian who was indeed one step ahead and became Zhou Ba wax's girlfriend, but so what? The short-term intimate relationship ended quickly, and then she was pushed away by Zhou Ba wax. On the contrary, Lin Yujing still stayed with Zhou Bashi.
Shen Qian looked back now and even wondered if Lin Yujing had known about Zhou Bashi's temper for a long time, so she never expressed her feelings. If she didn't express her feelings, she could still be friends. If she confessed her feelings, she wouldn't even be friends. He is just a fool.
Shen Qian couldn't explain how she felt at that time. Anyway, she saw the news about Lin Yujing. After several years of cultivating her mind and practicing her skills, she could no longer control the shadow of that person in her mind. In addition, due to the recent affairs in the world, she was abroad. It was very chaotic. The embassy was extraditing its citizens back to the country, so she returned to the country.
After Shen Qian returned to China, she was embarrassed and went directly to Zhou Bashi. What should she say to her ex-boyfriend who dumped her? It would be even more embarrassing if he got a new girlfriend.
So, Shen Qian organized this class reunion, typically in order to meet one person, so she invited the entire class.
Shen Qian was extremely nervous until she saw Zhou Bashi. She was afraid that Zhou Bashi would show up with a new girlfriend and act like a normal person. She couldn't imagine how rude she would be then.
Even though this didn't happen, it wasn't much better. Shen Qian seemed to have a bright appearance in the eyes of others, but only she knew how miserable and hesitant she had been in the past few years without Zhou Ba Wa.
Shen Qian didn't expect anything when she met today. She just wanted to see Zhou Ba wax show that he missed her even a little bit, even just a little, even if this was just a lie to her, that was enough.
But Shen Qian didn't see it. The Zhou Bashi she saw had already let go of him, or in other words, it was just her wishful thinking and unrequited love. Zhou Bashi never paid attention to him, and the only one she couldn't let go of was herself.
So today, there are no words in the reed swamp, only whimpering and pain. It is the most precious sound of the innocence of an adolescent girl breaking. It is the first painful experience left by her first love that she will never forget in her life, and it is imprinted on her body. of scars.
Zhou Ba wax lay helplessly on the kayak, letting Shen Qian wreak havoc, admitting that he was in the wrong. He did owe something back then. He was young and ignorant and hurt this girl.
But, damn, it scared him to death. He thought that Shen Qian brought him to such a secluded place with no one to take revenge. He would execute a scumbag and execute justice. Maybe he would die together or something... Fortunately, She's not that extreme.
Zhou Bashi had an inexplicable desire to escape from death, and we can't explain why.
On a small kayak in the reed swamp, one of them was sobbing emotionally, and the other was wandering in a trance with his mind full of things to do. I have to say that love is unfair. The one who is favored has nothing to fear, and the one who loves unrequitedly will only be covered in bruises.
The kayak has been parked here. From afternoon to dusk, the sky has darkened, and the water in the reed marsh has become turbid. I wonder if this place is too hidden. The two of them have been away from each other for so long, and no classmates have come to find them. There is no signal either.
Zhou Ba Wa touched Shen Qian's back, and his hand felt sticky. The clothes on both of them were wrinkled with sweat. They didn't do anything. Holding each other like this for an afternoon was enough to cover up the sweat.
"It's almost dark, shall we go back?"
Shen Qian had stopped crying for a long time just now, but she just kept hugging Zhou Bashi and refused to let go or look at him. She just pretended to be dead. She probably knew that she would never have such a chance again after she went back. When they got ashore, the two of them would The person was completely cut off, so she cherished this last tenderness very much. It would be better if she had more time, even just a little longer.
Zhou Bashi looked at the sky speechlessly, patted Shen Qian on the back, and murmured: "Sooner or later, you have to go ashore, otherwise if you think you can still live here, you will become a corpse sinking in the river."
Shen Qian Guqiu paused and said nothing.
Zhou Ba wax heart said that there will be a day when I will be pretended to be stupid?
Forget it, Zhou Baqi looked at Shen Qian who was clinging to his arms and said that it would be okay if it didn't bother him. Anyway, it wouldn't stop him from freeing up his hands to do business.
It should be coming soon, right?
Zhou Bawa's small pupils collapsed, and a pair of beady eyes popped up on the kayak. Xian had already eaten the kayak, possessed it as a ghost, and became an old captain. Otherwise, how could the kayak have drifted for so long? Can't meet anyone.
Zhou Bachu never misses the mark... No, Yan Guo plucked his feathers. Before he came to raft, he had already identified the target, the prince's tomb in the Miyun Reservoir, and searched for clues to find the remains.
Zhou Ba Wa touched the wet hand on Shen Qian's back that was trying to grab hold of him. The body temple unfolded, the secular gods appeared, and Xun Heshang appeared on the kayak like a silent ghost.
With a buzzing sound, the chain saw was inserted into his wet hands, and the evil thing hidden in the reeds in the murky water under the kayak was painfully exposed.
Zhou Ba’s wax connoisseur’s eyes were wide open.
"The Immortal for Life (10-year Taoist and secular god) belongs to the Xihe Temple of Shanhehuang City. It is hatched by the 'Big Water Ghost Pretending to Be Zang' (Epic Pretending to be Zang), consecrated through the bloodline of the grain-eater 'Dead Dragon Son',
Possessing the ability to 'take one's own life as a substitute'."
