MTL - Butterfly and Whale-Chapter 2 whale
Hu Die spent the entire typhoon in the hospital. Since she fell into the sea and fell into a coma last time, her mother Jiang Man has been stricter in her supervision.
Almost to the point of being inseparable, even though she emphasized more than once that falling into the sea was just an accident, and she didn't intend to do it on purpose, but her mother only believed it verbally.
She was lying bored in the hospital, the window of the ward was facing the coast, and the tall palm trees stood in the sea breeze. The movement of the waves hitting the rocks is clearly visible, and at night, a touch of blue can be vaguely seen from the gaps in the bricks and tiles of the low buildings.
Hu Die turned over and turned her back to the window.
On the cabinet next to the bed was a gray-black hat, with the words "Tan Island Rescue Team" embroidered with red silk thread in the center, and the word "Bin" crookedly embroidered on the side.
She stared at those words for a few seconds. The medicine she took after the meal had a hypnotic effect, and she seemed to return to the evening when she fell into the sea in a daze.
Sea water poured in from all directions, filling her nose, nose and ears, and the suffocation instantly wrapped her up airtight.
Just die.
Seems pretty disrespectful too.
Before losing consciousness, Hu Die thought so, slowly closed her eyes, and let herself fall into the bottom of the sea.
When I woke up again, I returned to this familiar ward. Regarding everything that happened that day, only this dirty hat remained to prove that it was not a dream.
The second she closed her eyes, someone really grabbed her.
Hu Die took a short sleep and woke up in the evening. After the typhoon, Rongcheng entered the long rainy season, and there was always the sound of rain in the evening.
She got up and got out of bed, picked out a new wig from the closet and put it on. Jiang Man opened the door and saw her daughter looking back and forth in the mirror, and said with a smile, "It's pretty enough."
"Not as good-looking as my mother." Hu Die turned her head to look at her mother, and also laughed: "Mom is the prettiest."
Jiang Man was a pair skater before retiring. He was a partner and childhood sweetheart with Hu Die's father, Hu Yuanheng. After retiring, she and her husband have been contributing to the domestic figure skating industry. Although they are nearly fifty years old, there are not many traces on their faces.
"No one can talk like you." Jiang Man took a thin cardigan and draped it over her shoulders, "Are you hungry? You didn't eat like this at noon."
"A little bit, but I don't really want to eat." Since the start of chemotherapy, Hu Die's appetite has been poor, and occasionally she would feel nauseous and vomit when she ate something wrong.
"Then do you want some soup? Your father brought it over after cooking it in the afternoon. Your favorite scallop and chicken soup."
Hu Die didn't want Jiang Man to worry, so she nodded and said yes.
The chicken soup was kept in the refrigerator. Jiang Man filled a small bowl and put it in the microwave to heat it. Hu Die followed her all the time.
After drinking the chicken soup, Hu Die glanced at Jiang Man who was sitting at the table reading the recipe, and said hesitantly, "Mom..."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"It won't rain in two days, I want to go out for a walk." Hu Die pursed the corner of her lower lip: "I've been in the hospital for almost half a month, and I feel like I'm getting moldy."
"You..." Jiang Man has always doted on her daughter. Since she fell ill, she put off all her work and came back from abroad to take care of her daughter herself. But the accident last time also made her worry all the time, sometimes she woke up in the middle of the night, and had to come in to take a look to make sure she was sleeping here before she could rest assured.
"Just go out for a while, if you are worried, just come with me." Hu Die said: "It happens that I also want to find the person who saved me, and then I have to thank him very much."
For a while now, there was a typhoon and rain in Rongcheng, and Jiang Man was always worried that Hu Die's condition would worsen, so he forgot about it.
She let go: "Then it won't rain, I'll go with you."
Hu Die laughed: "Okay! Thank you, Mom."
It rained for a whole week in Rongcheng. On the sunny day, Hu Die and Jiang Man went out early in the morning. According to the words "Tan Island Rescue Team" on the hat, the mother and daughter quickly found the office of the rescue team. .
It's just a pity that the owner of this hat was fired two days ago due to work negligence.
"Ah Bin, he has never been serious about his work, he loves to gamble and play, I advise you not to look for him, and be careful of being blackmailed."
"Thank you, but do you have his contact information here? No matter what, he saved my daughter. I still have to say thank you."
"Yes, but he might not be able to take this job." The staff member flipped through a staff profile in the drawer, found He Bin's page and handed it over: "Here, that's it."
Jiang Man took a picture of He Bin's profile page with his mobile phone, thanked him, and turned to his daughter: "Yueyue, let's go."
"Oh." Hu Die nodded to the staff: "Thank you."
Hu Die followed her mother out of the office, passed by the staff board in the corridor, and saw a two-inch photo with the word He Bin written on it in the lower left corner.
The man was well-shaven and wearing a work uniform, and he didn't look as slick as the staff said.
But Hu Die recognized that his eyes were not the ones in her memory.
Jiang Man walked a few steps and saw that her daughter didn't keep up, turned around and walked to her side: "What's wrong?"
"It seems that this person didn't save me." When she was rescued by the medical staff, Hu Die regained consciousness, but she was not fully awake.
When the hat was put on, she only saw the other's eyes and a passing hand.
"Don't we have his phone number? We'll know when we go back and ask." Jiang Man said: "Let's go, it's so hot outside, be careful of heatstroke."
"Um."
He Bin's phone has been turned off. Jiang Man and her husband went to his house to look for it. The neighbors said that he was often away from home for ten days and a half months, and he didn't know when he would come back.
Hu Die insisted on calling him every day, and even charged this number a hundred dollars. She didn't know why she was so persistent, but she just thought she should find this person.
Even if this person is really He Bin.
Finally, the emperor paid off. Hu Die called He Bin at 8 o'clock on Wednesday night. The caller was probably in an Internet cafe, and the background sound was very noisy.
"Hello...is this He Bin?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"Uh...uh, I am, I am, do you still remember that you rescued a girl at the beach of Tan Island on the tenth of this month?"
"What, did you call the wrong number?" He Bin cursed, Hu Die thought that he was impatient, and was about to say something when he heard the other party curse: "Damn, what is Sagittarius doing? Do you eat shit? Can’t you see the **** line entering the crystal?”
Hu Die: "..."
She took a deep breath: "It's like this. I am the family member of the girl who fell into the water. When she came to the hospital, she was wearing your hat. It was gray and black, with the words "Tan Island Rescue Team" embroidered on it. Character."
When he mentioned the hat, He Bin remembered, but he was in a hurry to push the tower, and said quickly: "I didn't save it, you go to Jing Yue. He died."
"Eh…"
Before Hu Die could ask who "jingyu" was, He Bin had already hung up the phone, and when he called again, the phone was turned off again.
She pursed her lips, put down her phone, changed out of her hospital gown, put on a bob wig, and prepared to go to the place where she fell into the sea again.
The hospital is not far from the beach. Before the accident, Hu Die liked to come to the beach to watch the sunset in the evening. Watching the moment the sun plunge into the sea level, she will have a sense of luck to pass the day safely again.
The seaside in summer is still crowded with people, and the waves are "crashing", impacting on the reef, and being pushed out into waves of different shapes.
Hu Die walked to the reef where she usually watched the sunset, where a wooden guardrail was added at some point to keep the crowd at the shore, and a wooden notice board was erected beside it.
—There are reefs below, dangerous, please do not approach.
Hu Die: "..."
Inexplicably, she felt that the fence and the sign were here because of her.
Hu Die walked around the seaside, and when she occasionally met a staff member wearing a rescue suit, she would subconsciously look at the other person's eyes and hands.
It's just not right.
As night fell, the crowds on the beach receded, and the shore lit up with colorful lights, surrounding the entire sea area, like a galaxy falling from the sky.
Hu Die went back to the hospital and mentioned this to her mother. Jiang Man called the staff who received them at the rescue center that day. There was no staff named "jingyu" in the rescue center, and they didn't know each other.
Jiang Man said: "That may be He Bin's own friend."
Hu Die nodded: "I'll call him tomorrow and ask."
Jiang Man didn't ask much about her daughter's obsession with finding this person, but said: "You should pay more attention to rest when you are looking for someone."
"Know it."
Hu Die started to go to the beach to watch the sunset every day, but recently she had an extra task of finding someone. She no longer stayed in the same place as before. Occasionally I go for a walk on the beach, and sometimes I even go for a walk on the shore.
It's just that she didn't find the "whale" until the next rainy period came.
whale.
It was her code name based on the pronunciation of the word "jingyu". Before the correct word was replaced, this whale never returned to this sea area.
Today is the last sunny day in Rongcheng.
In the evening, there was a wind blowing by the sea, the sunset was broken into several pieces, and the moon was covered by dark clouds.
The tide is continuous, and the mountains and rains are about to come.
Hu Die walked around the beach and unknowingly went back to the place where she fell into the sea. The signs and fences couldn't stop the echoing tide.
She took a step forward subconsciously, and there was a sound behind her.
"Hey."
Hu Die stopped abruptly and turned to look at the source of the sound.
Several street lights in this area were broken, and the light was relatively dim. The man was standing in the shadow again, and Hu Die couldn't see his appearance clearly for a moment.
The boy walked out of the darkness slowly, his tall and slender figure was decorated by the faint light, and his eyebrows and eyes were revealed one by one.
Short hair, a few strands hanging messily on the forehead, and dark eyes. The person is very white, with a somewhat dejected appearance.
Wearing a large white t-shirt and black overalls pants, revealing a section of lean calf, and a pair of black flip flops on her feet.
He was holding a bag of fruit in his hand. The blue veins on the back of his hand were particularly clear due to the force, and the wrist bones were also prominent, like jagged peaks shrunk down in proportion.
As the footsteps gradually approached, Hu Die saw clearly that his eyes were inner pair, the folds at the end of the eyes were not very obvious, and the eyelashes were the same as in memory.
It is warped and long.
He stopped two or three meters away from Hu Die, and his eyes fell on her face. During the pause of a few seconds, Hu Die wondered if he had recognized herself.
In the next second, this guess was confirmed.
The boy sighed helplessly, his dark eyes fell on her face, his voice sounded like ice soda downed in one gulp after a long summer run.
It's cool and memorable.
"If you jump down again today, I won't save you again."
The author has something to say:
apparently—
Jing Yue: If you jump off again today, I won't save you again.
actually—
Jing Yu: "My wife, I'm here!!"
I forgot to mention that there is a two-year age difference, the whale is 97 years old, and the little butterfly is 99 years old.
There are red envelopes in this chapter, I love you all!
