The Starry Sky, The Starry Sea

Chapter 20: I'm not afraid of you, I want you (1)

Views:

At least for this moment, please let me know your mind. I just want to know that I don't feel wrong and that you like me just a little bit.

The whole night, Wu Julan didn't go home, nor did he call back.

I have been sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for Wu Julan. After a while, I called Wu Julan's mobile phone once, and the computer-synthesized female voice always told me softly and cruelly: "Sorry, the number you dialed is not within the service area, please try again later."

If there was a slight disturbance outside the yard, I would look out expectantly, but I never saw Wu Julan push the door and enter.

Jiang Yisheng was worried about me, so he called the hospital and asked for leave, and stayed with me all the time.

In the morning, neither of them had any appetite, so they didn't eat.

At noon, Jiang Yisheng made me a bowl of longevity noodles, "I cook the noodles so hard, you can eat as much as you want. Even if you don't look at my face, you have to look at Wu Julan's face. Only when you are full will you have the strength to think of a way out."

"I understand what you're saying, but now I really can't eat." Intellectually, I am fully aware that I don't help things by not eating, but it seems that there is a big heavy stone stuffed in my stomach. I don't have any room for food at all.

I said, "I want to go up the mountain again."

"I'll go with you, maybe there will be new discoveries."

Jiang Yisheng and I walked slowly along the road that Wu Julan and I went up the mountain last night.

The midday sun was so scorching that one could hardly keep his eyes open. All the way to the top of the mountain, I didn't meet a single person.

Jiang Yisheng frowned, and said to himself: "I'm a smart person, but when I think about it from last night, I can't figure out how these big living people can disappear without leaving a trace. With Wu Julan's skill, he should be able to persist until we arrive, unless something happens that we don't know about."

I walked silently to the Eagle's Mouth Cliff, looking at the vast and boundless blue sea.

Last night, when I stood here, I was still worried about what would happen tonight, telling myself to enjoy the present moment, but this present moment was so short.

Jiang Yisheng worriedly called: "Xiaoluo, don't stand so close to the cliff when you come back."

I stepped back, recalling what happened last night, and walked slowly under the coconut tree.

In bright sunlight, everything is more clearly seen. The coconut tree is right in front of the trail, guarding here is like guarding a pass, which can block all dangers. In the long life, not every woman can meet a man who is willing to stand behind her and block all dangers for her.

My nose was sour, and tears welled up in my eyes. Wu Julan, you promised me that nothing will happen, you must keep your word

Jiang Yisheng, who was walking around on the top of the mountain, suddenly said excitedly: "Xiao Luo, we have been up for so long, and we haven't seen anyone."

I quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, turned around, and looked at him inexplicably.

Jiang Yisheng waved his hands and said excitedly: "This is not a scenic spot. No one comes to play in broad daylight. How come there are four people on the mountain inexplicably at night? Whether you want to rob or steal, you should go to the bustling and lively Lantern Street. You shouldn’t be here, I don’t think these four people met you by chance and committed crimes randomly.”

As if enlightened, I suddenly saw a ray of light from the darkness, "They came here specifically for me and Wu Julan."

"Yes, if you can't find Wu Julan, try to find those four people. They must know Wu Julan's whereabouts but" Jiang Yisheng sighed, "Wu Julan has never told you where he came from or what he did. It can be said that we don't know Wu Julan at all. It's a little hard to find clues"

I said, "How can you be sure that those people are targeting Wu Julan?"

"It's not for him, but for you. Since you were young, your experience has been lacklustre. No one will want to go to war and find four gangsters with knives to deal with you."

While thinking carefully, I said slowly: "My experience is lacklustre, but a lot has happened in the past two months. I went to the bank to withdraw money, and was robbed on the way back; we went out to play, and when we got home, we found There were two thieves at home; Wu Julan and I went for a walk on the mountain and met four thieves. Our street has always been in good order, and such a thing has never happened, but I have encountered three things one after another, not just bad luck explained."

Jiang Yisheng agreed: "It is true that these three things should be related."

I said, "The only thing these three things have in common is me."

Jiang Yisheng said: "It's all related to Wu Julan. These things happened after he lived in your house."

I have no way to refute Jiang Yisheng. As he said, my experience is very clear, and I can't think of any reason that would cause others to deliberately deal with me.

I said, "Whether it's directed at me or Wu Julan, it doesn't matter for the time being. The point is, if these three things are not isolated, the two thieves who were caught are"

"Clue" Jiang Yisheng finished speaking, immediately took out his mobile phone, and called his friend who worked in the police station.

"What has been sent away why"

The two thieves caused neither personal injury nor property damage, which was considered an attempted burglary. Because they have a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, the sentence will be very light, about six months, and they can be released on bail; and because the case will eventually be heard in the jurisdiction of the island, they have been released by the detention center and left the island.

Jiang Yisheng comforted me and said: "The person just left temporarily, and it's not that there is no way to track them down. I have asked my friends to help me find out who their guarantor is and when the case will be tried. I can always follow the clues to find out."

I nodded with a heavy heart, and traced it layer by layer. I don't know how long it will take. Wu Julan, I immediately told myself that he promised me that nothing will happen. He is so proud, and he will definitely not break his promise

Back home from the mountain, I returned to my previous appearance, sitting on the sofa, looking out the window, holding a mobile phone in my hand, and calling Wu Julan after a while.

In order to distract me, Jiang Yisheng turned on the TV and took a bunch of snacks and put them on the coffee table. However, my favorite way of relaxing in the past no longer has the slightest effect, and my heart and mind are still Wu Julan.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, I pleaded with Jiang Yisheng and said, "I have lost contact with Wu Julan for 24 hours. Can you find a way to find a friend, make room for it, and ask the police to help you find it?"

Jiang Yisheng said: "Well, Wu Julan's situation is a bit complicated, I have to find a friend and talk face to face, is it okay for you to be alone at home?"

"Of course there is no problem. After a while, I will go to sleep. My mobile phone is always on, and you can call me at any time."

"That's fine, you have a good sleep, I'll call you if something happens." Jiang Yisheng picked up his coat and left in a hurry.

I called Wu Julan's cell phone again.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is out of service area, please try again later."

I whispered into the phone: "How long will it be later?"

The host’s excited voice came from the TV: “This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival’s full moon will be the roundest in fifty-two years. We Chinese have an old saying that when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose money. It can be seen that the full moon is very For a brief moment, do you want to know when the moon is really the roundest? According to astronomers' prediction, the roundest moon will appear at 11:49 tonight. Mid-Autumn Festival reunion moon, you choose a place to watch the moon Yet"

I stood up, thought blankly for a while, and started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find things.

I put on a warm jacket, non-slip shoes, and a portable flashlight.

"However, it is a pity that there is generally rain in southern my country tonight, which is not suitable for viewing the moon."

I picked up the remote control and turned off the TV with a "snap".

When I put down the remote control, I saw the snacks on the coffee table and put a pack of chocolates into my pocket. When I walked out, I took another folding umbrella by the way.

I walked down the path that I have traveled countless times since I was a child, and went down to the reef beach where Wu Julan and I agreed to meet on the night of the full moon.

The shape of this beach is like a crooked "concave" character, with steep cliffs standing high above the sea on both sides, and a reef beach stretching hundreds of meters in the middle. Because the water is rough, the waves are rough, and the rocks are rugged, it is neither suitable for swimming nor for docking boats, so few people come. Only the nearby children occasionally hide here to smoke and drink, and do things that need to avoid parents and teachers.

For a long time, this beach has been the secret garden of me, Datou, and the genius doctor. Every time, when I'm in a bad mood and want to be alone, I come here.

Tonight's moon is big and round, but because there are clouds in the sky, the moon is outside the clouds for a while, and it gets inside the clouds for a while, and the beach is bright and dark for a while.

I picked the most conspicuous reef, climbed onto it, stood upright, turned on the flashlight, held it up high, and made myself as bright and dazzling as a lighthouse. As long as Wu Julan comes, no matter where he is, he can see me at a glance.

When I can't find him, the only thing I can do is to try so that he can find me, which is a bit of desperation

hope.

When I got tired of lifting one hand, I switched to the other hand, and the two hands alternated, always keeping the light of the flashlight high above my head.

Stand silently, pray silently, wait silently

I don't know how long I have been waiting, let alone how long I have to wait. It seems that I have turned into a stone, tireless, hungry and thirsty. As long as Wu Julan has not come back safely, I will keep holding the flashlight and waiting in front of me. here.

The wind blowing from the sea suddenly became stronger, and thick clouds rushed to the moon and enveloped it. The sky and the earth became pitch black, and the sea water also lost its brilliance, as black as ink. The tide is getting faster and faster, and the waves are getting higher and higher. The sea roared like a raging beast awakened to devour everything.

According to Grandpa, "The first wind blows, the second cloud surges, the third wave blows, and the fourth is a heavy rain." Experienced fishermen will know that the Dragon King is about to get angry when they smell the wind, and they have to find a place to hide.

Tonight's Sea Dragon King is obviously very unhappy, warning everyone to stay away from him as soon as possible.

However, because of the agreement on the night of the full moon, I held a flashlight and stood on the reef, unwilling to leave for a long time. What if Wu Julan came just after I left

wait a while

wait a minute and i'll go

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, I'm leaving, I'm leaving

One after another "for a while", without any warning, the torrential rain suddenly poured down, and the bean-sized raindrops slammed down, making my whole body hurt.

I bit the flashlight in my mouth, took out the folding umbrella, just opened it, "hoo", the whole umbrella was blown up by the wind, not only could not protect me from the rain, but it made me unable to stand still and almost fell reef.

I let go of my hand in a hurry, and with a "crash", the umbrella was blown by the wind and disappeared.

I felt something was wrong, so I picked up the flashlight and looked at my feet, only to find that the waves had silently rolled over to the reef where I was standing with the rapidly rising tide, almost submerging my feet.

I have an instinctive fear of water, and immediately want to retreat in a hurry.

A wave was not smooth, and a bigger wave rolled towards the reef where I was standing.

"Ah" I slipped off the reef and was swept into the waves.

Subconsciously, I struggled desperately, trying to grab hold of the nearby reef, but to my horror, I found that I couldn't catch anything.

I couldn't help myself, rushing back and forth between the reefs, sliding towards the sea with the sea water.

At the last moment when I was about to lose consciousness, a strong and powerful hand suddenly reached out, pulled me into his arms, and floated out of the water with his arms around me.

I opened my mouth wide, panting hard and coughing non-stop. My whole body twitched involuntarily because of fear, but my heart was filled with joy, eager to see the person who saved me.

It's Wu Julan, it's really Wu Julan

Although the night was dark and the sea water blurred my eyes, I could only vaguely see a silhouette, but I was absolutely sure that it was Wu Julan.

The wind is howling, the rain is pouring, and the tide is surging, as if the whole world is about to capsize.

Wu Julan firmly grasped a raised rock with one hand, and hugged me tightly with the other. There was a small safe space between his chest and the rock, and I was protected from the wind and waves.

I don't know whether it is rain, sea water, or tears on my face. Anyway, my vision is blurred, so I can't see clearly. I stretched out my hand and stroked Wu Julan's face tremblingly. After confirming that everything in front of me was not an illusion, I hugged his neck tightly and pressed my head tightly against his neck.

The sky and the earth are pitch black, the wind is like a pack of hungry wolves, howling constantly; the heavy rain is like the whip of God, viciously whipping all things in the world; the sea is like an angry wild beast, trying to swallow the whole world.

It seems that the world is on the verge of destruction, but I feel that at this moment, I am extremely peaceful, in his arms, with my head next to his neck, everything is solid and reliable.

Storms come and go faster.

After more than half an hour, suddenly, the wind eased, the rain stopped, the sea calmed down, and the clouds gradually dispersed. A beautiful golden full moon hangs in the deep blue sky, reflecting the sparkling sea.

I raised my head, stared at Wu Julan, and gently wiped off the water droplets on his face with my hands, "Thank you, thank you, Axie"

As soon as I opened my mouth, I shivered immediately, only to feel so cold.

Wu Julan gently pushed me away, trying to help me sit on the rock.

Like an octopus, I immediately entangled Wu Julan, only then did I realize that he was not wearing a shirt. The bare skin was almost at the same temperature as the cold sea water, so I rubbed it subconsciously, trying to warm him up a bit. After finishing it, I realized that it seemed more like taking advantage.

Embarrassed, I quickly let go of him and said under cover: "Let's go up together."

Wu Julan shook her head, pointed to the direction of home, pulled my hand away, and wanted to push me onto the rock.

I finally realized, belatedly, that something was wrong.

I held Wu Julan's arm tightly, "I won't go home first, you, you and I have a word, just call me a little conch."

Wu Julan looked at me silently, with her mouth tightly closed.

"You can't talk. Did they do it?"

Tears rolled in my eyes, and I reached out to touch his lips, "Let me see where the injury is."

Wu Julan was very shy, and turned her head suddenly, avoiding my hand.

I looked at him puzzled, but he was silent, with sadness flowing in his deep eyes.

I didn't want to force him anymore, grabbed his wrist with one hand, grabbed the reef with the other, and wanted to climb ashore, even forgetting the fear of water, "Let's go to Jiang Yisheng now and see a doctor immediately."

Wu Julan gently supported me from below, and I easily climbed onto the reef.

I turned around and pulled him hard, trying to pull him ashore, but Wu Julan didn't move.

I was about to use more force, but I didn't know how Wu Julan's hand flipped, and he broke free from my hand easily. He backed away slowly.

I yelled in horror: "Wu Julan" and immediately wanted to jump into the water and chase him.

Wu Julan stopped, and raised his hand to me comfortingly, indicating that he didn't want to leave, and let me stay well. I didn't move any more, I knelt on the rock, staring at Wu Julan nervously and confusedly.

After Wu Julan made sure that I would not jump into the sea, she slowly retreated away from the reef.

I didn't dare to blink my eyes, and stared at him tightly.

He stopped a few meters away, a distance that allowed me to see him clearly but ensured that we couldn't touch him.

He looked at me silently, did not speak for a long time, and did not make any movements.

I squeezed out a dry laugh and called softly: "Wu Julan"

He finally started to move.

Like a platform under the sea supporting Wu Julan, he slowly rose up from the sea until it reached his waist, and his entire upper body was exposed on the sea.

He stopped steadily in the middle of the sea, looking at me quietly, as if reminding me to see everything clearly; also as if implying that if I want to escape, there is still time for everything.

Under the bright moonlight, his upper body was as perfect as a marble sculpture in front of a Greek temple. His muscles were strong and his skin was fair and firm. The water droplets seemed to be shining with silver light, sliding down the undulating curves.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't notice anything different, but it wasn't enough to scare me. I smiled nervously and joked, "I'm in good shape."

Wu Julan stared at me deeply, as if she had finally made up her mind. "哗啦" sounded as the water rolled over, and I seemed to see a huge fish jumping out of the water.

When the waves subsided, I saw Wu Julan sitting peacefully on the sea, her whole body unfolding in front of me without any cover.

My eyes were staring, my mouth was open, and my mind went blank.

The sky that has just experienced a storm is exceptionally clean and clear, like a flawless sapphire. A round of golden yellow full moon hung in the sky, big and bright, and the bright light poured down, reflecting the whole sea shimmering.

Wu Julan sat gracefully sideways on the sea under the full moon. His upper body was a human body, but below his waist was a fish. The big and long silver-blue fish tail was floating on the water, making him look like a Sitting on the water is average. As the breeze blew, the sparkling sea gently rose and fell, and Wu Julan's body shook slightly.

I think I'm going crazy what the hell did I see

Real and fake hallucinations before death

In fact, I'm about to die, no matter whether I was rescued by Wu Julan or what I see now, it's all a hallucination before death
