no hate

Chapter 9

She sat up suddenly amidst the thunder...

Zhou Mei was woken up by fright... She nestled in the large pile of fabrics piled up in the store, covering herself with the top layer. Whenever it was too late to go home, she would fall asleep like this. In fact, she prefers this way Sleeping, because when you are wrapped, you feel very safe... But they can't cover the thunder... She trembled a little, curled up inside, curled up into a ball, and blocked her ears with her hands...

Another flash of lightning illuminated the stiff mannequins in his shop. They were headless, accompanied by the sound of rain and thunder, which made people feel creepy...

Zhou Mei got into the bottom layer and covered herself with a lot of cloth. While trembling, she buried her face in her arms... She covered herself with sweat, but still didn't want to come out... She wanted to cry, but she Hold back, she must be strong...

After an unknown amount of time, the thunder stopped, because she was too tired, and she fell asleep in a daze with that kind of exhaustion...

There are two kinds of people, one is lonely, and will go crazy to get rid of loneliness, completely disregarding the cost, let alone others, and the other is lonely, then let oneself be alone, completely disregarding pain, and even disregarding oneself...

After the rain stopped, it was a sunny day... Early in the morning, the sun came into the house... Zhou Mei woke up on time, feeling a little sore all over her body. She couldn't breathe because of the stuffiness in the house. She struggled to get up and went to the water tank in the backyard to scoop He boiled some clear water and washed himself carefully from head to toe. He randomly picked up an embroidered cotton dress with buttons from the cabinet, put on a cotton skirt, and kicked the black cloth casually thrown on the floor. Cloth shoes, get ready to go out for a breath of fresh air...

She will never meet people with unkempt hair and sloppy hair, and she must dress up to make herself happy before going out. She lives exquisitely and dresses exquisitely, just like the ideal she believed in when she was born...

Today she has no class and no entertainment, so she can relax in the store... Looking at the clean stone road washed after the rain, and the halo reflected by the puddle, Zhou Mei can't help but feel good. She thinks about this time The air by the river must be more refreshing, so I searched for the mountain road and walked to the river...

Not far from the riverside, there is a small stall selling breakfast with a fire. You can see the heat from a distance. I don’t know how many years it has been here. The business is good. There are four small small square tables. If you want to You have to queue up patiently to eat, and there are also people who bought and squatted aside to eat, and don’t mind if there is no seat. Today is considered early, and there are still many seats. Zhou Mei walked over and asked for a bowl of glutinous rice balls with the kind-hearted old woman. Then sit on a low bench, eat while looking at the river flowing eastward...

"Thinking of the great rivers and mountains of China, how can I hand them over to the barbarians"... The last time I organized a speech at an impassioned and impassioned meeting, I didn't know why it came out. My mouth was sweet, but why did I feel bitter in my heart? Zhou Mei Suddenly, her mind was a little confused, she gritted her teeth, and didn't want to think about it for the time being...

"Boss, two glutinous rice balls"

This voice is nice and recognizable... The spoon in Zhou Mei's hand stopped, she raised her head, and saw a pair of "bi men" facing her on the opposite table, and they also sat down. The handsome "Mr" in the tunic suit straightened the bangs on his forehead that were blown by the wind...

"Your hair is too soft, you're disobedient." The woman's voice was full of happiness, which Zhou Mei could hear...

"I'll get you some oil and you won't let me" The familiar voice, the familiar face, Zhou Mei is sure it's her, no, who else is there besides her, in the whole city, there is no second woman who will dress lawlessly like her...

No matter who you are, whether you are a man or a woman, whether you like men or women, this man, after all, still has to be like a man, and a woman, after all, still has to be like a woman... What Zhou Mei dislikes the most is actors Bai looks like a man or a woman...

"I don't like to see your oily hair and noodles." The woman seems to be acting like a baby...

"Okay, okay, here comes the glutinous rice balls, come, eat it while it's hot." The tone of the voice couldn't tell whether it was perfunctory or pampering...

You can tell how close the relationship between these two people is, having dinner together so early must have done something last night...

"Hot! Is the melon melon?" The woman seemed to be blaming, "Eat slowly...be obedient"

Unable to listen to it or eat it, Zhou Mei threw the spoon into the bowl, got up and left the stall, walking in the opposite direction of Bai Yuan and Zhang Jianrong...

"Sister, sister, you haven't paid me yet!!" A little girl who was not tall, with flour on her immature face, chased after her, and grabbed her skirt...

Well now, the people at the stall originally ate in their own way. After hearing this, they all looked this way...including Bai Yuan and Zhang Jianrong...Then, the glutinous rice balls that Bai Yuan scooped up slipped from their mouths like that, fell on her pants...

It's still a little hot... Jian Rong immediately took out the handkerchief and wiped it off for her, "Look at you, what are you panicking about?"

Zhou Mei's cheeks suddenly felt a little hot, she felt in her pocket, bad, changed clothes, forgot to bring money out...

The little girl looked up at her with innocent eyes, and the wrinkled and simple old woman also looked at her from afar, with indifference in her eyes...

The temperature on Zhou Mei's face has surpassed the skin, turned into paint, dyed her face red, redder than a peach blossom, better than a sunset...

But Xizibai understood... She immediately turned her head and shouted to the old woman, "We are together, we are together, I will give it later!" After finishing speaking, she turned her head and smiled at Zhou Mei, and shouted, "Isn't it, Mr. Zhou? ~"

Mr. Zhou's sentence was a bit abrupt, but it still made those curious people restrain their eyes. In this day and age, freeloading is not a glorious thing...

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mei didn't buy her account at all, but just walked back, without looking at the actor, and explained to the mother-in-law, "I'm really sorry, I didn't bring any money today, I will bring it to you tomorrow, okay?"

"I want it." The mother-in-law nodded and waved her hands, Zhou Mei heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to leave, but saw the actor Bai standing in front of her...

"Why are your eyes so swollen? Who bullied you?" Bai Yuan carefully observed Zhou Mei, who hadn't seen her for several hours, and frowned... Zhang Jianrong, who was behind her, was still sitting on the bench, in a cloud of mist. Looking at these two people...

"Get out of the way..." Zhou Mei's eyes froze, her voice was so cold that it made people tremble...

"I'll just give it to you in a while. You have class tomorrow, so it's too much trouble to go this way." She was able to memorize Zhou Mei's schedule firmly, and Xie Bai's eyes narrowed when she smiled, Watching Zhou Mei's way, it seems that she didn't notice the reminder in her words...

"Slap!" The chaos in her head and the anger in her chest were no longer something she could suppress, so Zhou Mei raised her hand unbearably, and slapped her hard, "I tell you to get out of the way!"

This time it was really a bit ruthless... Bai Yuan had a golden light shining in front of her eyes, and her figure staggered a little. After she realized it, Zhou Mei had already trotted and disappeared. With a numb look, finally, she raised her hand tremblingly, and slapped the actor Bai again...

This time, Xie Zibai didn't chase her away, she left her by herself...

This time it didn't hurt at all... Sure enough, only Zhou Mei was willing to hit her... Bai Yuan clutched her slightly swollen left cheek, feeling that she was hopeless...

Every time Zhou Mei slaps her, she will get a slap from another woman...

The following days will be boring again...

But no one knows that the morning sun is just a reflection of the light. The light rain yesterday symbolically pushed the autumn rain in Chongqing to a peak. The rain was scattered from the sky, and it was out of control. Unable to stand the test of nature, the continuous rainfall then triggered a mountain torrent that never happened in a century. In a few days, landslides and mudslides flooded, many houses in the valley were washed away, and many cities were also affected...

Of course, places like the Jing Family Mansion and the Tang Mansion, which are built on high terrain with stable foundations and good drainage, naturally don’t realize the people’s desperation... Bai Yuan, who is trapped by the heavy rain and can only stay at home every day, can see it from the window. In the distance, the water on the street was getting deeper and deeper. She had seen this kind of scene before, and she didn't take it seriously, thinking that it would be fine when the rain stopped. Until the third day, she found that there was no one walking on that street. The newspaper box where the newspapers could be obtained was also empty, and the water had already flooded half of the door of the shop. When the rain was still falling like crazy, she realized that something serious had happened...

Man-made disasters are no better than natural disasters...

Bai Yuan ran downstairs with a bang, and shouted in a panic, "Old man! Old man!" After shouting for a long time, no one answered her...

Lulu was frightened by her appearance, and ran out of the kitchen in a hurry, "Madam, what's the matter?"

"Where's Lao Cheng? Why don't you see him?"

"I heard that Uncle Cheng's house was flooded. It was serious. He went back early in the morning and told me not to tell you, lest you worry."

Bai Yuan seemed to remember something, her face changed, "Does Lao Cheng live in Yanziyan?"

"That's right, that side is the most dangerous right now. The houses are all built on the cliffs, facing the river on three sides... Our mountain is not secure, ah! Ma'am, ma'am, where are you going!! You can't go out!! "

Regardless of Lulu's screaming behind her, Bai Yuan didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she kicked open the door and rushed out in the rain. The white clothes that were close to her body were instantly wet, and her cheeks hurt from the rain, and she knew this. How heavy the rain was, before she wiped her cheeks with her hands, she rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, exposing two slender and tight arms, and rolled her trousers to the bottom of her thighs, like a monkey, she jumped up The only fence on both sides of the road exposed to the water surface, ignored everyone's surprised eyes, and ran quickly...

She ran a few streets in one breath, and Datong Street was not far from Tang's house, but she found that the water was getting deeper and deeper, and she couldn't run at all. Carrying those useful belongings in the rain...

How much she wished that Zhou Mei could stay in her shop properly, or mess around with these people, it didn't matter, at least it wasn't too bad, but when he saw that the false sleep was half-filled with rainwater, the last time she saw The little tailor who passed by had a few clothes tied to her body, and was struggling in the waist-deep water, her heart was half cold...

Bai Yuan grabbed him and shook him, "Where's your boss?"

"Master?" the little tailor turned around blankly, "...Master went home last night, but he hasn't come today...Me, neither"

"Ah..." Bai Yuan sighed resignedly, and then, without turning her head, like a flying fish on the water, she went to Yanziyan in every possible way, looking for a place to stay...

When she got to a place where she couldn't get down, she simply jumped. She couldn't climb the wall, the wall, the tree, and the tree and the roof. Several times she almost fell directly from the dilapidated roof. Knowing that the hardships she suffered when she was a child were not in vain, this skill is still useful, just like this, she approached little by little from the opposite direction where others were fleeing, until she finally reached the house in Linjiang …

God...

The actor sat on a thick tree next to the only upward stone road that could lead anywhere, looking up, feeling... This road is not a road now, it is like a waterfall, what is it? It is suspected that the Yellow River has fallen for nine days... It can be seen that this area should be the most severely affected area. She saw several boats on the edge of this small cliff struggling to stop in the turbulent river. Actor Bai can roughly recognize those people standing on the boat on the thick tree that has not been submerged on the shore...

Because one of them was wearing a raincoat and wearing glasses, which was the mayor of the city, Pan Wenhua. The people on the boat seemed to be well-trained soldiers, and they were all anxiously trying to rescue the victims on board... There was also a boat on board. People, there are some bare-armed and shirtless men, the bald Zhao Sihai is anxious like a jumping monkey, pointing and cursing in the rain...

The mixed sound of rain and river water drowned out the faint human voices above. She looked towards the cliff, and could vaguely see many broken bamboo frames that had been scattered, and some people desperately hugged the only ones stuck in the mountain. The bamboo pole was crying, she squinted her eyes, and searched hard under the beating of the heavy rain. She saw the place where a row of wooden boards protruded from the mountain. The current row of wooden boards has long since disappeared...

Damn it, that's Zhou Mei's place...she's brainless, living in such a dangerous place, what's the use of looking at the scenery on weekdays, when the wind blows and the rain blows, she shatters into that ghostly state, can I save her?
