Chapter 91 goodbye

Xiao Jiu, why didn’t you find me when you came back? I have been waiting for you.

The next morning, Zhou Yi woke up much earlier than usual.

She tossed and turned all night yesterday, her mind was groggy, and she woke up a little after soaking her face in cold water for a long time.

Coming out of the room, Zhou Yi vaguely heard someone arguing outside.

The female voice seems to be Han Qiu.

Zhou Yi paused and walked towards the door.

In the yard, Han Qiu lowered his voice and said, “Is it because I don’t want to save that giraffe?! What about the medicine? Where’s the money for the medicine?! The animal protection organization promised to provide supplies two months late, what do you think? Still playing?”

Han Qiu swears directly at the end, and Antoin is taken aback for a while, “Oh, my God, I can’t believe that such rude words can come from a beautiful woman like you!”

Han Qiu sneered and scolded his ancestor twice.

Antoin was so shocked that the facial features were enlarged.

After getting angry, Han Qiu’s attitude gradually eased, “Antoin, are you sure that your doctor friend can provide free medical help to Zhou? The team can only take out the air ticket money for you and Zhou to the UK. It doesn’t matter how you come back.” I don’t know yet, there is no extra money for Zhou’s treatment.”

Antoin is a typical optimist, and he doesn’t have any worries about this, “Isn’t there a saying in China that “the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge”? Don’t worry, God will bless Zhou. She has a pair of beautiful big eyes, hiding sadness, oh! Mia, you didn’t let me finish my sentence again, but I will still forgive your rudeness. ”

Han Qiuren has already entered the house.

Seeing Zhou Yi leaning against the door, Han Qiu was taken aback, and subconsciously looked outside.

“I heard it all.” Zhou Yi said, “Are we really out of money?”

Han Qiu didn’t answer directly, “The predicament is only temporary. Nevianan is in charge of fund management. She is already actively organizing social donations, and the government has been striving for supplies. It’s just a matter of getting it.”

Zhou Yi responded in a low voice, but did not move.

After a while, Han Qiu went and returned, passing by Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi stopped her and said, “Sister Qiu, have you ever thought that the economic structure here is fragile, and the space given by national policies is very limited. No matter how hard Nevianan tries, he can’t let a rooster lay an egg.”

Of course, Han Qiu thought about it, “The economic situation has been tense in the past two years, coupled with various conflicts, even the government is applying for debt relief and extension, and the possibility of taking into account our small place is basically zero.”

“So we can only rely on ourselves,” Zhou Yi said.

Han Qiu heard the certainty in Zhou Yi’s words, walked over and asked, “Do you have a solution?”

Zhou Yi shook her head, “I’m not sure yet, but I can give it a try.”

“How to try?”

“go back…”

Han Qiu was slightly taken aback, “Where are you going?”

Zhou Yi raised his hand and pointed to the distant sky, “Where we came from.”

“In the past few years, at least one-third of the donations received by our foundation have come from major domestic enterprises and related public welfare organizations, as well as some scientists and entrepreneurs who are dedicated to public welfare. This proportion is very large, so I think we can Go back and try.”

Zhou Yi shook hands in his pockets and said, “There are many people there. There are many good people.”

Han Qiu thought it was feasible, “I’ll hand over work to Gore immediately, and go back.”

“Sister Qiu!” Zhou Yi called to stop Han Qiu who was about to leave in a hurry.

Han Qiu turned around, “Huh?”

Zhou Yi pursed her lips and said, “I’ll go back…”

Han Qiu was surprised, “Are you sure?”

Zhou Yi, “I’m sure, you have to listen. If you go to England, it’s better to go back to our own home. We can save some travel expenses and we are familiar with the environment.”

“But you…” Han Qiu hesitated to speak, before he pondered for a moment before saying: “The temperature is high this season, even if you just put a hat on your head, people will look at you twice. Without a disguise, do you dare to go back?”

Zhou Yi lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, “I dare not, but I miss her, and I want to see her.”

Han Qiu was speechless for a moment.

After knowing each other for five years, she always knew that Zhou Yi was hiding from someone, but who this person was and why Zhou Yi was hiding from him, Han Qiu still didn’t know.

Except for Lodovico, Zhou Yi never mentioned it to anyone in the team. Today is the first time she has taken the initiative to talk about it.

Han Qiu tentatively asked, “Is this person important to you?”

Zhou Yi clenched his hands tightly, turned his head to look outside at the quiet morning, and said, “Maybe “the source of life, the place of death”. ”

Han Qiu was dumbfounded.

That must be an existence as important as life.

“Okay…” Han Qiu said, “When are you leaving? I’ll help you contact the car to the airport.”

Zhou Yi, “Just today.”

Ever since she said those words under the tree yesterday, when she opened and closed her eyes, she saw Mu Qinglin’s face, every nerve in her body was clamoring for her, and her heart ached from the inside out.

It’s really hard.

No matter how hard she bit her wrist, she would still unbearably yell “Sister—” into the darkness of the room

Longing is a flood that has opened its gates, and no one can stop it.

The sudden Xiangming outside the door brought back Zhou Yi’s thoughts, she straightened her body and walked out.

Han Qiu came out with Zhou Yi, looked at the lively little guy at the door, and said, “Play a little longer with LO today. When you come back, it will leave us and live independently.”

“So soon?” Zhou Yi was at a loss for a moment, feeling that he was still the sensitive, irritable and hard-to-serve little elephant Lodovico when he was rescued, and he was about to become independent in a blink of an eye.

Han Qiu said with a smile: “Don’t be sad, elephants are emotional and human, and will come back to see you in the future.”

Zhou Yi looked ahead and said nothing.

Elephants know how to repay their kindness, how about her?

There is only a belly of wolf-hearted dog lungs left.

—

That morning, Zhou Yi took the car contacted by Han Qiu, traveled all the way for more than 20 hours, and finally arrived at Jiangping International Airport in the afternoon of the next day.

All her luggage is only one bag, which is casually hung on her shoulder, and she walks through the narrow passage along the stream of tired people.

The moment Zhou Yi stepped on the covered bridge, his feet felt unreal, his whole body tensed up, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

There are countless pictures flashing in her mind, but she can’t catch a single frame.

“Ma’am, what can I do for you?” The flight attendant standing at the cabin door asked Zhou Yi with a smile.

Zhou Yi subconsciously lowered the brim of her hat, said, “No, thank you,” and left quickly.

Zhou Yi followed the signs and found the bus stop.

The previous class had just left, and there were not many people in this car.

After Zhou Yi came up, she raised the brim of her hat a little bit, exposed her eyes, and asked the driver with an obviously strange accent, “Master, is there any station with cheaper accommodation on this line?”

The driver didn’t think about it, “Yes, there is an urban village next to the university town in the southern suburbs, and it costs 30 per night.”

“Okay, we’re there, please stop for a while.” Zhou Yi said.

The driver was surprised, “Are you going to live? It’s very chaotic over there.”

Zhou Yi pulled down the brim of his hat again, and said softly, “It’s okay, it’s just cheap.”

Getting off the bus, Zhou Yi easily found the village in the city that the driver mentioned.

She walked in for a while, saw a “hotel” sign at the door, and turned in directly.

On the second floor, a shirtless male tenant was arguing with the boss.

Zhou Yi thought it was noisy, so he didn’t go forward immediately, but leaned on the side with his hands in his pockets and waited quietly.

“When will the air conditioner be repaired?!” the male tenant said, patting the cash register.

The boss smiled all over his face, “I’ve called for maintenance a long time ago, but it’s been hot recently, and everyone wants to use the air conditioner. The maintenance master is too busy. If he doesn’t answer the work order, I can’t help it.”

“Give me the phone, I’ll call!”

“The phone is with my wife. How about waiting for her to come back at night?”

“Wait for your mother’s legs! I’ve already asked someone about it. Your air conditioner is an old antique. The parts have been out of production for 800 years. There is no need to repair it! You can either change the air conditioner or change the room for me today, or I will Get stuck here, so that you can’t get any guests by yourself!”

The boss couldn’t afford to delay the business, so he had to compromise, “Okay, okay, can I change to 407 for you? This is the only room left.”

The male tenant achieved his goal, cursed and went upstairs with the key card.

The boss should have learned how to change his face. As soon as the male tenant left quickly, he called his unborn grandson a grandson.

Turning to face Zhou Yi, the boss immediately recovered, “Girl, do you want to stay?”

Zhou Yi straightened up and walked over, saying, “400 a month, just give me the room that person didn’t want.”

The boss was in pain, “Girl, the monthly subscription is 600, you just chopped off half of it for me.”

Zhou Yi said concisely, “I’ll give you 600 to change the air conditioner.”

The boss hesitated.

The air conditioner in this room has been broken for more than a year. It’s not that he doesn’t want to change it. It’s because the electric wires in the old house can’t bear the power. It’s more than one or two thousand yuan. When the time comes to decorate the whole building, it will be a waste of time and talent.

“Girl, add a little more.” The boss said in a negotiable way.

Zhou Yi, “Can’t add…”

The boss hit a hard bone, gritted his teeth, and said, “Okay, 400 is 400! I’ll let someone go up and clean it!”

Zhou Yi took out her ID card to register, then scanned the QR code to pay, and went upstairs with the key card when the room was tidied up.

In less than ten minutes, Zhou Yifu came down again.

The boss was still in pain, so he didn’t intend to pay attention, but instead of thinking about it, she went straight to the cashier, tapped twice with his fingers, and said, “Remove the camera in the socket.”

A flash of panic flashed in the boss’s eyes, and he forced himself to say calmly: “What kind of camera. Girl, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can’t talk indiscriminately.”

Zhou Yi raised his head, his bland eyes were covered by the brim of his hat in the darkness, he suddenly gained weight, very oppressive, “I repeat, remove the camera.”

The boss was startled, and forced himself to say, “Girl, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Zhou Yi took out her phone and clicked on the dial pad.

When the boss caught a glimpse of her clicking on “1”, he said frightenedly, “Oh! Don’t call the police, I’ll tear it down right away! Right away!”

Zhou Yi turned off the phone and went downstairs.

It’s very lively outside, and there are all kinds of food stalls along the street.

Zhou Yi took a quick look around and chose an affordable noodle dish.

“Girl, do you want to add an egg? Two yuan.” The proprietress asked in a loud voice.

Zhou Yi scanned the QR code and was paying with her head down, “No, I can’t afford it.”

The proprietress only thought she was joking and was still selling.

Zhou Yi acted as if he didn’t hear, turned around and left after paying the money.

Unexpectedly, the moment he turned around, someone bumped into his shoulder suddenly, with a lot of force.

Zhou Yi was forced to lean back, his lips pursed into a line.

“Catch the thief!” There were three girls on the side of the road chasing after him.

Zhou Yi moved faster than he realized, turned his feet, and quickly chased after the person who bumped into him just now.

The street was crowded and the thief couldn’t run smoothly, but within ten meters he was stopped by a car passing through the intersection.

The thief was in a dilemma, hesitated for two seconds, and rushed through the red light.

The novice driver was so frightened by the sudden rush out that he slammed on the accelerator.

Zhou Yi was out of breath, shouted “Get out of the way”, rushed towards the thief with all his strength, grabbed him at the last moment, pulled him back hard, and both of them fell to the side of the road.

Zhou Yi’s abdominal injury was hit hard by the thief, the pain made her eyes go dark, and she almost couldn’t breathe.

It’s so hard to die, the thief is still hitting the muzzle of the gun, and wants to run away when he picks it up.

Zhou Yi closed his eyes and cursed “Fuck”, and when he touched something in his hand, he threw it at the back of the thief’s head without thinking.

The thief was smashed into the tree pit, lost his balance, and fell over due to inertia.

Zhou Yi took advantage of the situation and pressed him against the tree, clasped his hands behind his back, lifted it up vigorously, and said through gritted teeth, “You **** run! Keep running!”

The thief screamed in pain, “Take it easy, your arm will break!”

Zhou Yi was angry, kicked him on the calf, and said coldly, “Where is the stolen thing?”

The thief was stunned by the pain and shouted loudly: “The left pocket!”

Zhou Yi freed one hand and took out a mobile phone from his pocket.

The security guards of the nearby school saw the situation here and rushed over.

Zhou Yi handed them his mobile phone and prepared to leave.

Glancing at the school name on the security uniform from the corner of the eye, Zhou Yi’s eyes shook, and he looked up in disbelief at the majestic school gate not far away—Jiangping University.

That’s right, why did she forget that the new campus of Jiangping University is in the university town.

There are only PhDs and graduate students in this campus, and she didn’t have the opportunity to come here before, so no…

“Xiao Jiu?” A weak female voice suddenly came from the side.

Zhou Yi’s face was completely pale, and he took a step back, hesitating under his feet, turned around and ran after recognizing a direction.

Behind him, Mu Zipei shouted, “Xiao Jiu! It’s me, Peipei!”

Zhang Ke and Gao Ge were stunned the whole time, seeing Mu Zipei being knocked down because she was running too fast, they rushed over to help her up, and said, “Peipei, you must have misunderstood someone. How can someone who almost fainted help you catch the thief.”

Mu Zipei realized this belatedly, looked at the orderly street in front of her in a daze, and said, “But her profile really looks like Xiao Jiu.”

Zhang Ke said: “There are so many people who look like me in the world, if it’s really Xiao Jiu, how can I ignore you?”

Mu Zipei remained silent, staring in that direction for a long time before turning around and walking back.

“Student, let’s see if this is your mobile phone.” The security guard showed Mu Zipei two mobile phones. One was searched by Zhou Yi from the thief, and the other was taken out of her pocket by her and smashed at the thief. the back of the head.

“This is mine, thank you.” Mu Zipei recognized her mobile phone at a glance, and her eyes froze when she moved to the one next to her with a broken screen.

“Gourd! Gourd! That person just now is Xiao Jiu!” Mu Zipei’s eyes turned red with excitement.

Gao Ge hurriedly took the mobile phone from the security guard, and checked the gourd hanging below.

“It’s really Xiao Jiu!” Gao Ge said in disbelief.

Zhang Ke was puzzled, “Why did Xiao Jiu run away when he saw us?”

Gao Ge raised his head and looked at Zhang Ke, and they both looked at Mu Zipei at the same time.

She is calling Mu Qinglin.

“Pick it up, pick it up quickly!” Mu Zipei turned around anxiously.

As soon as he heard Mu Qinglin’s voice, Mu Zipei burst into tears, “Sister! Xiao Jiu is back!”

—

In the corner of the village in the city that no one cares about, Zhou Yi bowed and leaned against the wall, almost blending into the dark night.

She didn’t know how long she had been leaning here, she only knew that when her ears completely fell silent, her body was too stiff to move.

She supported the wall with her hands, barely straightened her body and walked out.

Because she kept one position for too long, the joints on Zhou Yi’s knees were so hard that there were only two extreme states of straight and bent. She couldn’t straighten up after she forcibly lifted her knees and stepped on the curb. She lost control of her body and fell to the side of the road.

The sudden big movement startled the stray dogs under the fence, one or two were barking at her.

Zhou Yi sat silently for a while, then stood up and continued to walk back.

In less than ten minutes, she walked downstairs until the last hawker closed the stall.

After passing the second floor, the drowsy boss immediately woke up, lying on the cash register, and said in a low voice: “Girl, the camera has been removed, please don’t call the police.”

Zhou Yi glanced at him expressionlessly, then turned up the stairs leading to the third floor.

The boss stared at Zhou Yi’s back with his head, and said in bewilderment: “You still look like Hades when you go out in the afternoon, why do you turn into a dog in the water when you come back?”

Zhou Yi was still wearing the peaked cap she wore when she went out. The too low brim of the hat blocked most of her sight. She walked slowly to the door, and stood facing the door for about five minutes before finally remembering to open the door.

The sound of the door lock opening turned on the voice-activated lights in the corridor.

Under the dim light, besides Zhou Yi with his head down, there was another tall and thin figure standing against the wall—at first glance, the weather was calm, but the moment his gaze fell on Zhou Yi, it became choppy.

Zhou Yi didn’t notice anything, so he pushed open the door and walked in, closing the door behind him.

The light coming in from the corridor was quickly pushed out by the door panel.

Before disappearing completely, a familiar female voice that could pierce her soul suddenly came from Zhou Yi’s left ear, “Xiao Jiu, why didn’t you find me when you came back? I have been waiting for you.”

Zhou Yi’s gaze was shattered by the shadow that squeezed in through the crack of the door.

She analyzed dully.

The person clearly came from the right, but she heard her voice from the left.

It turns out that the sound can “turn”.

This is the first time Zhou Yi knows.

By the time she realized this, the voice had already flowed from her ear to her heart, tearing a huge hole in it.

The author has something to say:

Woooooo, my treasure, I beg sister Mu to be gentle!
