gentle fall

Chapter 105

Three months later.

It was late at night when the plane landed.

Wen Huaiyu turned his head and said to Deng Ruo, "I must have lost my mind. Otherwise, why would I accompany you here!"

This ghost place has an extremely high altitude, and it's still so cold in May.

Deng Ruo gave her a cool look: "If it wasn't for the car you provided, the mobile phone you provided..."

"Come on, stop," Wen Huaiyu raised his hand to interrupt her, "I'm not wronged, people ask me to help escape marriage, I definitely can't bear to watch her jump into the fire pit, marrying someone like Wen Ming, yes Watch her go to death?"

When Deng Ruo heard this, she immediately became quiet: "You are not wrong."

It was her who was wrong.

Wen Huaiyu's smile also subsided: "I'm just kidding. Actually, I should thank you, Ruoruo, thank you for taking me out to relax."

Probably because she lost too much weight, her eyes looked bigger, and when she was not smiling, the end of her eyes slowly drooped, alienated and indifferent.

Deng Ruo was also stunned for a moment, and then pulled her forward: "Let's go. The driver is waiting for us. The plane is delayed, and we have already made people wait for an extra hour."

Before coming here, Zhou Ran helped to contact a local friend. His network is really wide. In this remote mountainous area, he can still find people who are called brothers and sisters. He arranged a car waiting for him. The driver is a middle-aged man with a Chinese face and a nice smile. Jue asked: "I don't wear too much. Is it freezing? It's not good in the mountains. It's very cold at night, and I'm still wearing a jacket. There is a blanket on the back seat. Brother Xiao Zhou told me that it's new. I bought it, it’s clean, you can wear it if you don’t mind it.”

The two hummed, how could they care about their image at this time, they were all wrapped in blankets, Deng Ruo was still trembling slightly: "Master, how far is it from that wildlife sanctuary?"

"It's far away, you can sleep for a while. Except for tourists from other places, we locals don't go there. The place is too remote."

Deng Ruo let out a sigh. She didn't expect it to be so far away, but she felt that it should be like this.

This is what Xia Cen's little girl would do. If she ran so far, in such a remote hill, she would not let others find her.

Wen Huaiyu turned her head to look out the window. The car was bumpy and the road was long. She seemed to be closing her eyes gradually, as if she had fallen asleep.In fact, she didn't feel sleepy at all, her eyelids were lifted a little, and her eyes were always clear.

I have gotten used to it in the past few months. At first, I couldn’t fall asleep, and then I dreamed as soon as I fell asleep. The dream was that rainy winter night. The rain was very heavy. She walked along the long street. Where should I go to see that person, her whole body is drenched and wet, she often wakes up at this time, and touches the tears with her hand, it turns out that tears have flowed down her face at some point.Later, she didn't sleep at all, she was really sleepy, so she squinted for a while, and continued to deal with work when she woke up.

I don’t know when it started to rain outside the car window. On this late spring and early summer night, it was quiet, silent and silent, only the tips of the leaves were dripping with water, falling slowly.

When it was daylight, the car stopped.

The driver drove all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely sleepy: "It's not far ahead. Wait for me, I'll smoke a cigarette, wake up, and then take you there."

Deng Ruo shook her head: "No need, master, we can go there by ourselves, you can go back and rest first, and call if you need anything."

Her voice was very clear, and she didn't feel sleepy at all. It sounded like she hadn't slept all night. She jumped out of the car, folded the blanket neatly, and closed the car door.

Wen Huaiyu also got out of the car and took a deep breath. The air was very fresh, but it was just fresh.

"Let's go."

"It seems that it's not time for work yet."

"Why do you care so much? If you don't know it in the past."

"It's not working hours, she may not be here..."

It's funny to say, Xia Cen, the little girl, didn't know what kind of tendon cramped, she came to the nature reserve deep in the mountains to be an administrator. My fellow animals love each other as a family.

Xia Cen didn't know how he came up with such a crooked idea, and he really persisted for more than half a year. He didn't communicate with anyone, and lived alone. If it wasn't for someone from the company who came here for a trip, he accidentally took a photo and sent it to his friends. In the circle, Miss Xia accidentally appeared in the mirror, otherwise the ghost would know she was here.

Deng Ruo was still talking nonsense, Wen Huaiyu was impatient, grabbed her sleeves, and pulled her forward: "Deng Ruo, you are good at everything, but there is only one shortcoming. That is to think too much. I used to think that your family That mess, I feel that I and Xia Xiaolong are not suitable. Forget it. Now that you have come here and started mother-in-law again, I have had enough of you. Go, go!"

When she spoke, she was already in the usual tone, and she was more energetic than others, but Deng Ruo clearly saw her sitting on the plane, leaning against the window when she lost her mind, and couldn't help but said for a while: "After you go back, I will accompany you to find her."

Wen Huaiyu paused for holding her clothes, "I don't need you to accompany me."

She let go of her hand and walked quickly ahead.

Deng Ruo let out a sigh of relief, and chased after him.

She guessed right, it was too early, and the staff in the reserve hadn't gone to work yet. From time to time, three or two birds flew out of the woods, disturbing the silence of the morning.

Deng Ruo thought for a while: "Let's go around first, the environment here is pretty good."

Wen Huaiyu couldn't give a good evaluation of this deep mountain and old forest, so he walked blindly with her, and slowly met tourists on the road, most of them were middle-aged and elderly sunset red tour groups, who looked like they got up to drive before dawn, At this moment, these grandparents were full of energy and took a group photo with colorful flags.

Deng Ruo looked at them, a little dazed: "In a few decades, we...we will be like this too."

Wen Huaiyu hummed: "It's the little old lady."

It's that...the person she wanted to grow old with, and got lost.

The two stood by and watched the play, and the aunts would not let them go, and greeted them warmly: "Little girl, can you take a photo for us?"

Wen Huaiyu froze for a moment: "Yes."

"Take a group photo first."

"Wang Rong, let's get one for two."

"Okay, okay, sister Zhao, wait for me, I want to take pictures, I want to take pictures too."

"Let's take a picture three times, little girl, don't worry, wait a minute, I want to take a picture myself."

Wen Huaiyu: "..."

She used to be a very impatient person, but now her temper seems to be getting better little by little, without showing any impatience, she smiled at them: "Okay."

Deng Ruo did not receive so many requests for taking pictures of a group of uncles, so he quickly finished helping and stood aside to watch the fun.

Wen Huaiyu glared at her with hatred, then continued to take pictures intently, and finally returned the phone, half an hour later, she was rubbed by a group of aunts, pinched her cheeks, and said that the little girl's face is really cute Tender and handsome.

It was the first time she was treated like this. She was rubbed on her head and face. She was not angry at all, but more at a loss. Small snacks, like elementary school students on an outing.

Deng Ruo couldn't help laughing, and took a photo of her, edited a copy, and posted it on Moments at the speed of light.

Wen Huaiyu said coldly, "Deleted."

Deng Ruo ignored her, quickly ran away, and ran back, but stopped after a few steps.

"how……"

Wen Huaiyu followed her gaze, and there was a girl not far away, wearing a small red vest and a colorful wreath on her head, who was feeding a peacock when she accidentally picked up a long feather that had fallen. He looked up for a long time in the sun, and finally put the feathers on his pocket, like a colorful bird.

Her voice softened: "Go. Don't be afraid."

Deng Ruo was in a daze, without saying a word, just walked over like that.

The two of them just walked over one after the other, but the girl still didn't notice, she was running focused and happy until Deng Ruo called her: "Xia Cen."

The colorful little dragon finally stopped and looked at her with no expression at first. After a few minutes, he realized that this was not her illusion, and he did not recognize the wrong person, so he slowly frowned: "Why do you At this."

She left as she spoke, indifferent and heartless, Deng Ruo called her several times, and then chased after her.

Wen Huaiyu walked leisurely behind, accompanying Deng Ruo, she was already quite interesting, she didn't care about the rest, her daughter-in-law could coax her to go.

She looked calm, walked around casually, bought a small bag of deer cakes, and fed them to the deer. The deer was cute and well-behaved. She couldn't help reaching out and touching it a few times. Who knows how long it took for the little thing to stare at her. Chasing her and not letting go, so embarrassing.

Xia Cen watched from a distance, stepped forward to help, but couldn't help laughing after pulling her out: "Hahaha Wen Huaiyu, you still make such a fool of yourself! I'm so happy!"

Wen Huaiyu's face darkened: "Don't laugh! Xia Cen, you still owe me a favor."

Xia Cen snorted, and managed to hold back his smile: "Okay. I owe you a favor. I'll treat you to dinner, alone."

She deliberately emphasized a person, obviously because she didn't want to talk to Deng Ruo, and she pulled Wen Huaiyu away, Wen Huaiyu kept clapping her hands unaccustomed: "Hey, what are you doing? Let go, let go, I don't like people touching me .”

Xia Cen slammed her hand away: "If you don't touch it, don't touch it, you are stingy!"

They walked in front, and Deng Ruo walked behind, seemingly not in a hurry, Wen Huaiyu slowed down and asked her, "What are your plans?"

"No plans."

"Aren't you going to coax her back?"

"I'm not going back."

"Ok?"

"She doesn't want to go. I'll just stay here with her. I'm sorry, I asked you to come with me, and you may have to go back alone."

"You really don't want to go back, have you made up your mind?"

"Well. She won't even say a word to me. I...I can't go back. If I go back, I won't be able to catch her in my life. "

Wen Huaiyu was shocked, and she didn't know which word poked her. Her smile faded a little: "It's okay, you are here, I will go back by myself."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head, took a deep breath, and calmed down the turbulent emotions.

"Go and see her," Deng Ruo said softly from behind, "don't be afraid that she doesn't want to see you. Maybe she misses you too."

Wen Huaiyu didn't look back, and waved with her back: "I don't want to eat anymore, you go eat. Xia Cen, didn't you just invite someone if you agreed? Invite my good friend, just like inviting me, don't break your promise."

She walked quickly and hurriedly, with her heart pounding in her chest. She took out her mobile phone to call the driver, got in the car and closed the door without saying where she was going. Sitting on the seat, the emotions fluctuated violently.

Go see her.

There was a voice in her heart that was tempting her.

She pursed her lips, took a few deep breaths, and slowly suppressed her emotions, telling herself: "Go back first, and then talk about it when you go back."

She wanted to call Zhou Ran and ask him to book a ticket, but a call came in first, it was Xu Fang's.

Wen Huaiyu was startled, and answered: "Mr. Xu?"

"where is she?"

Xu Fang spoke, his voice was hoarse and low, no longer the usual domineering.

Wen Huaiyu knew who she was asking, so he calmly asked, "Why should I tell you?"

"I've helped you. You're not someone who doesn't repay you."

"I can repay Mr. Xu in other ways."

"But you don't want her to spend the rest of her life alone in the southern hemisphere, without relatives or friends..."

"...you win. I'll send you the address."

Xu Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Wen Huaiyu edited the address and sent it to her. Before the phone was hung up, she couldn't help but exhort: "Mr. Xu, please treat the person you like well."

Xu Fang smiled: "Of course."

"Thank you, I still have something to do, next time..."

Xu Fang stopped her: "What about you?"

Wen Huaiyu was startled, and instantly understood what she meant - what about you, do you cherish the person you love?

A melancholy sigh came from the other end of the phone: "Ah Shen and I...we used to love each other very much. But we missed 20 years. I hate her for abandoning me, hate her for pursuing fame and wealth, hate her...so 20 years have passed. Ken forgives her, and I can't forget her... When we meet again, I can't let her go, and I can't let go of myself. But she's gone. I didn't know until she was gone... I really can't lose her anymore. I I never said I regretted it before, but now I want to say that I regret it."

The phone was hung up, and the phrase "I regret it" still lingered in her ears, Wen Huaiyu was in a daze, and after a while, she came back to her senses.

I want to see her!

As soon as this crazy thought came, yearning swept through every cell. She felt her whole body trembling, and said to the driver almost hysterically: "Go back, master! I want to go back, take me to the airport!"
