Rebirth alone

When Mr. Zhou bought the villa in Yeya Lake, he opened a back door according to the Fengshui layout. Because it was for the layout, he did not consider the actual access. There was neither a house nor a road behind the door, but a wetland leading to Yeya Lake.The reeds with strong vitality spread year by year, and have swallowed up the wetland, turning it into an endless reed marsh.

Zhou Ziqian went out through this door. If he can't be found in time, this Fengshui door that has been abandoned for many years may become his ghost gate.

On a rainy night, the sky was like a black curtain. Ye Tao and his party broke into the reeds and disappeared quickly.

Ye Tao has never walked such a difficult road before. The plants with strong vitality are reluctant to be pushed away. The sharp reed leaves can't stop scratching his face. The cloth shoes fell off.

During the difficult search, his ears suddenly caught a sound that was not made by himself. Ye Tao stopped quickly and listened carefully for a while, and the suddenly rising and falling sound finally appeared again.

Ye Tao flicked on the flashlight and searched for the person. Knowing that the person should not be called, he subconsciously called his name: "Zhou Ziqian, is that you? Zhou Ziqian..."

A lone water bird flew up from the direction of the sound, flapped its wings and disappeared into the night sky.

Ye Tao loosened his fingers, and the reed leaves that were forced to separate hit back again, scratching Ye Tao's eyes impartially, and the flashlight was dropped.Just like the bread that falls on the ground must be on the side with the butter on the ground, the shining end of the falling flashlight is stuck in the mud, and the only light has disappeared.

Ye Tao leaned over to fumble, and felt that he had fallen under his feet, but he couldn't find it at all. There were only reeds, countless reeds, and reeds that drove people almost crazy.

Ye Tao hadn't been angry about anything for a long time, but now he wanted to burn all these reeds with a fire, find out that damn flashlight, and find out that bastard who was running around.

"Where did you go?!" Ye Tao ruthlessly tugged at those plants that seemed to be malicious, and he didn't know if he was talking about the flashlight or the lost person in his sullen words.

Maybe those reeds were really malicious at this moment, Ye Tao just tugged at them, and then tripped, and then the slippery mud began to make things worse, Ye Tao struggled a few times without getting up, making it difficult Out of breath, extremely embarrassed.

The rain was pattering against the swamp, and the smell of grass, silt, and waterfowl left behind greatly affected people's senses. Even Gu Jiuqing's unusual sense of smell could not detect the traces left by that person.

"Zhou Ziqian...Zhou Ziqian..." Gu Jiuqing's voice came from the depths of the reeds, calling the man's name one after another.He seemed to have forgotten that that person should not be called.If he knew how to respond, how could he come to such a place?

Inexplicably and abruptly, Ye Tao remembered that the man loved cleanliness very much, and even had a slight obsession with cleanliness.If it wasn't for his unconsciousness, he probably wouldn't even come to such a muddy place, would he?

Ye Tao grabbed the reed and stood up, and continued to search with a flashlight. He couldn't tell the direction, so he could only walk by feeling.There was a bad breath in his heart, and he committed the oral karma that he hadn't committed for many years: "Zhou Ziqian, you bastard, get out quickly!"

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the rain became heavier and heavier, blurring the vision, knocking on the feet, making it difficult to move.

Except for the anxious people, everything here is like the god of death dragging Zhou Ziqian to the lake.

Ye Tao stopped panting on the shore of the lake connected to the reeds, wiped the rainwater from his face, and looked around, it was so dark that it was as hopeless as the Wangchuan River in his dream.

"Zhou Ziqian..." There was an imperceptible tremor in Ye Tao's hoarse voice, "Zhou Ziqian, if you don't come out, I will leave you alone! You can just die here, this mud is just right for burying you! "

The voice didn't spread too far before it was slapped down by the rain. Ye Tao stood there stiffly, his hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, perhaps he was clenched too hard, and he was trembling faintly when he looked closely.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the dense reeds not far away, and then a figure rushed out from inside, running towards Ye Tao with deep feet and shallow feet, and he was approaching However, he was grabbed by the ankle by the silt and fell there in a state of embarrassment.

"Zhou Ziqian!" Ye Tao stumbled to meet him, the beam of the flashlight shone on the opponent's face, reflecting Zhou Ziqian's rain-stained face, his expression was still dull.

Ye Tao struggled to pull him up, only to see that the man's clothes were soaked, and his body was covered in mud. It didn't look like he was rolling in the reeds, but he might have been in the water and crawled muddled. come out.

"Get out? Very good!" Ye Tao's eyes were about to burst, and he swung his hand out as soon as he finished speaking. In a hurry and anger, the force of this slap was really not small, and the hand that hit someone was hot.

Zhou Ziqian didn't know how to hide, and took the slap firmly, his expression didn't change, but an indistinct sound came out of his throat.

-----He said: I found you.

Ye Tao stared at him in a daze, his chest heaved violently, his raised hand paused in the air, and finally stopped swinging it down, pulled him along, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Jiuqing, we found him."

After returning to the villa one after another, everyone was in a mess. Dr. Xu lost his glasses, Gu Jiuqing lost a shoe, but Duo Ning did not lose anything, but his face under the muddy water was almost bloodless, obviously scared by Zhou Ziqian .

Gu Jiuqing wanted to beat Zhou Ziqian and beat Duo Ning to death, but he yelled and yelled for more than three hours to find someone, his throat was already smoking, and in the end he only used his shoeless foot Duo Ning kicked a muddy footprint on his buttocks and went upstairs to take a shower.

Ye Tao asked the others to wash up too, and he took Zhou Ziqian back to the room, and put a tub of hot water for him to soak in.

Those empty eyes kept looking at Ye Tao, obviously without any emotion, but it gave people a feeling that he was afraid that Ye Tao would never see him again, even though he was the one who made everyone anxious by running away.

Ye Tao washed off the mud in the shower, took a bathrobe and put it on, and then came out to bathe him.After washing in a tub of muddy water, I took the person into the shower and rinsed again, and it was considered completely clean.

Back in the bedroom, Ye Tao was almost exhausted and paralyzed, and only then did he feel the itching and tingling of the small wound scratched in the reeds.

Zhou Ziqian also suffered some minor injuries, including a few small cuts on his neck and arms. Of course, these wounds together were not as severe as Ye Tao's slap. His left face was already swollen, and he looked a little pitiful.

Ye Tao didn't think he was pitiful, so he wiped his hair, and suddenly pressed his blank face, and there was a bit of aggression in his usually indifferent tone: "You have become like this Why are you looking for me? So what if you find it? Can you stop me if I want to leave? "

Zhou Ziqian stared at him blankly, the lack of soul cut off his connection with the outside world, he should be the only one in his world, confused and dull, but the deep-rooted obsession has already carved a mark on his soul, even Incompleteness is also affecting him.

Ye Tao's indifferent expression was reflected in those empty eyes, maybe he was stung by that look, or maybe Ye Tao's words hit the most vulnerable part of his heart, and he couldn't even express sadness The corners of the eyes of the man slowly turned red, and the eyes were filled with water vapor.Then, just like the intensifying rain outside the window, the water vapor gathered more and more, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, slipped out of his eyes, and dripped on Ye Tao's hand.

Ye Tao looked down at the smashed teardrop, and heard a vague voice in his ear: "Don't go..."

Ye Tao was stunned for a while, then suddenly sighed, as if all the strength had been taken from his body, he clasped the man's hand and hung down, sitting there without saying a word.

Zhou Ziqian slowly reached out and grabbed Ye Tao's fingers. There were two shallow water marks on his wooden face.

The silent soul beside the bed was also looking at Ye Tao, the emotion in his eyes seemed to be sad. He replaced the more confused self and said, "Ye Tao, don't go."

After washing up, Gu Jiuqing, who came to reprimand Zhou Ziqian, stood in the entrance for a while, then quietly retreated out.

When I met Duoning in the corridor, Gu Jiuqing stopped him: "He's fine, don't worry about it, go and cook some ginger soup for them."

Ye Tao lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while. When he raised his head again, he found that the man was still weeping. His pretty face was dripping with water, which was more abundant than the tears of a child who had been greatly wronged.

Ye Tao couldn't help but sighed again, picked up a towel to wipe his tears, and there was nothing left in his heart except helplessness: "We didn't cry when you made you torment like this, but you cried endlessly. It's okay, don't cry." Crying, Jiuqing saw that he was going to run on you again."

Gu Jiuqing leaned against the wall of the corridor and laughed, muttering to himself: "Yeah, no one who has been tossed by you for so many years hasn't cried. Where did you get tears from?"
