Chapter 119 The lake
consultant made an appointment with Lin Siwei to go to the zoo to see monkeys on Sunday.
He got up early in the morning and washed himself, then put a plastic mirror on the windowsill and carefully combed his hair in the morning sunshine.
Gu Huai passed by his room three times and saw that he hadn't finished combing his hair. Finally he couldn't help but asked, "With such short hair, what hairstyle do you want?"
Look, this is Gu Huai.
If you do too much research, you will just think in one line. When he saw Gu Qia grooming his hair at the window, his first reaction was not that there was something wrong with Gu Qia, but rather, how Gu Qia wanted to do his hair.
Gu Qia waved his hand and called Gu Huai over: "Brother, look at it for me. Is it better to put this bunch of hair this way or that way?"
Gu Huai really doesn't understand. Is there any difference?
But he still stretched out his hand seriously, pressed his hair to this side, then pressed it there, and then said seriously: "I think it's best not to press it, it's best to let it take its own course."
It was like he didn't ask. Gu Qia gave up and stroked the bunch of hair to the right: "If it has the power of nature, then it will not be suppressed and return to where it should go."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Qia suddenly became louder . He shouted: "Hey, brother, don't touch it."
Gu Huai was startled, and his hand that was about to reach out to the pot of sunflowers on the window sill immediately retracted.
"This grass...is poisonous?" he asked tremblingly.
Gu Qia was amused by him: "This is a sunflower. Grandma has been raising it for several years. Now it looks like grass. When the weather gets hot and the light is sufficient, it will be full of small flowers."
"Then you react so big, I'm scared. Damn it. I thought you couldn't touch it."
Gu Qia stretched out his arm and stood in front of the flower pot: "You can't touch it. Grandma planted this flower before, but now Weiwei planted a similar one. We both have a pot."
Since Gu Huai came back, he has been listening to Gu Qia say "Wei Wei" all day long. No matter how stupid he is, he knows that the two of them are in love.
But he really didn't understand why he couldn't touch a pot of sunflowers for each person. So Gu Huai asked sincerely out of an academic inquiry: "What will be the consequences if I touch it?"
"Will it bloom?"
"Huh?"
Gu Huai felt that this was somewhat unscientific.
"We are competing to see whose sunflower blooms first. Weiwei tells stories to her sunflower every day and listens to the radio for it. I don't want to lose to her."
Gu Huai even felt that this younger brother might be insane.
I have never heard of telling stories to flowers and plants on the radio, and flowers and plants will bloom sooner. How could my brother believe this?
Even Lin Siwei is a smart girl, so it's not like she would believe this.
Falling in love really makes people have zero IQ.
Gu Huai stared at the potted flower blankly: "You also listen to the radio to it and tell it stories?"
"No, I will put it here so that it can absorb the first ray of sunlight in the morning and let it listen to the couple arguing next door. "Let it watch the children downstairs go to school."
"I touched it and delayed it from doing this."
"No, no, you misunderstood. It's me who moves it around and waters it rashly." Once touched, what if it thinks it has changed its owner and loses its temper?"
Gu Huai turned around and left.
He needs to stay away from this psychotic brother. Facts have proved that changing owners will not make Hua angry, but falling in love does make people stupid.
Gu Qia still didn't know why he left suddenly, so he chased after him and shouted, "Brother, would you like to go see the monkeys together?"
Gu Huai walked faster.
Watching monkeys is such an artistic way to date, and only Lin Siwei is willing to watch monkeys with you.
...
Lin Siwei watched with great interest.
Jinling Zoo is located in the city center, together with Xinhua Park, the largest in the city. Two or three hundred years ago, this area was the back garden of Tianning Temple. After liberation, the huge back garden became Xinhua Park for the whole city to enjoy. Park, and a zoo is built on the other side.
There are quite a lot of animals here, including lions, tigers, wolves, leopards... there are all these beasts. Tigers are even divided into different groups, with Siberian tigers on one side and South China tigers on the other.
I never expected that the South China tiger, which had been declared extinct in the wild in Mr. Lin's world, would see his true form here.
The busiest part of the entire zoo is Monkey Mountain. There are hundreds of monkeys, old and young, some fight with their teeth and cleft lips, some are catching lice leisurely under the warm sun, and some are running back and forth on the iron ropes and rockeries, and the iron ropes make clanging sounds from time to time.
These days, zoos do not prohibit feeding, but there is nothing particularly delicious for visitors. They just throw some peanuts, apple cores, etc., and then laugh out loud watching the monkeys competing for food.
"Look at the peanuts that man threw in. There is no meat left. The monkeys went over to smell them, but they were not interested at all." Lin Siwei pointed to a few small monkeys at the bottom of the Monkey Mountain.
Gu Qia echoed: "Even a monkey is lying, he is not a human being."
A little baby next to him who could only talk, still holding his mother's hand, imitated Gu Qia and shouted loudly: "It is not a human being."
Gu Qia was amused . Qia and Lin Siwei laughed.
Suddenly, Lin Siwei spotted a familiar figure in the crowd opposite Monkey Mountain.
It's Lin Jiahuan or Lin Jiale.
She has grown taller, wearing a pink top, with her hair disheveled, and has a slim appearance. She is holding the cement fence of Monkey Mountain to watch the monkeys carefully.
"Brother Xiao Qia, do you think who is that?"
Gu Qia also saw it: "Then you..." He originally wanted to say sister, but suddenly thought that Lin Siwei didn't want to recognize Lin Zhengqing as his father, so he quickly changed his mind, "It's Uncle Lin's family favorite." Joy."
He couldn't tell which one it was, so he could only say "Joy."
Lin Siwei felt strange: "Why is there only one? They always go out together."
"Would you like to go over and say hello?" Guan Qia asked.
Lin Siwei shook his head: "No, no matter who it is, they don't like to see me."
The two of them were not in the mood to watch monkeys anymore. They wanted to change places, or go to Xiong Mountain to see the big black bear. When descending from Monkey Mountain, he got closer to the little girl of the Lin family, and Lin Siwei couldn't help but look at her again.
Looking at it, I felt something wasn't right.
The half-sister looked so seriously that she barely changed her movements, and there seemed to be no expression of interest on her face.
Just like the statue of a little girl on the side of Monkey Mountain.
This feels so strange.
It was said to be Monkey Mountain, but it was actually a rockery pool dug, and then a high platform was built for people to watch. Lin Siwei quickly descended from Monkey Mountain, and for some reason, he remembered a TV series that Mr. Lin once watched.
Written by Grandma Qiong Yao, "Love Is Deep and Rainy".
Lin Siwei remembered an episode where Yiping met a drunk Mengping in a nightclub. Because she did not take Mengping home in time, Mengping was later violated, which harmed Mengping's life and became a thorn in Yiping's heart.
Back then, Mr. Lin was not very involved in watching TV series. When I saw this paragraph, I just felt that it was normal for Yiping to leave without Mengping. However, she and Mengping were not on good terms to begin with, and Mengping refused to leave with her. I can only say that fate was cruel to Mengping.
But the scene now suddenly made her realize that she seemed to be in a similar situation to Yiping, with a father who was unwilling to raise her, a mean stepmother, and two half-sisters who were inexperienced in the world.
Lin Siwei felt a thrill in his heart. It was impossible, who would dare to do something to a little girl in broad daylight.
But she took a few steps, but her steps were still slow.
Gu Qia asked, "What's wrong? Can't walk? Come, let me carry you."
He knelt down and showed Lin Siwei his broad back.
But Lin Siwei patted him and said, "Get up, I can walk. I just want to go back and see that...my sister. I don't think something is right with her."
Gu Qia didn't pay much attention, but Lin Siwei was uneasy. Of course he I want to accompany him to see it so that his girlfriend can feel at ease.
But the two returned to Monkey Mountain and ran around Monkey Mountain, but they did not see the pink figure of the girl.
"It seems that she went down the stairs on the other side of Monkey Mountain." Gu Qia said.
Lin Siwei agreed with Gu Qia's conclusion, but felt depressed and unhappy.
Gu Qia comforted her: "Maybe Huanhuan or Lele also likes to watch monkeys. It's hard to relax on Sundays, so it's normal to come to the zoo."
Lin Siwei shook his head: "It's definitely not normal. On Sundays, the whole family usually goes there. Liu Lagen's family, and neither Huanhuan nor Lele can come alone. "No matter
how much you guess, they are gone. The two of them turned around several nearby animal areas, but couldn't find her figure, so they had to give up.
After wandering around the zoo all morning, the two of them had stomach growling, so Gu Qia suggested going to Tingsong Tower in Xinhua Park for dinner.
Tingsong Tower is a three-story waterside pavilion by the lake. It was originally a teahouse for tourists to rest, and later developed into a high-end restaurant. If someone goes to Tingsonglou for dinner when they are in love, they definitely value the other person.
Lin Siwei didn't know this.
She had only been in Jinling for half a year. Although she had taken some classes at time-honored schools, she had not really taken up classes at Xinhua Park.
As soon as she sat down and saw the menu, she realized that this meal would probably eat up half of Gu Qia's allowance.
However, Lin Siwei was not the type to leave in a hurry when she saw the high price. She ordered a portion of old goose and a portion of garlic cucumber. The old goose is a specialty dish in a town in Jinling, and the cucumber is fresh. This combination is not expensive, but it is not cheap, and you can still feel full.
Gu Qia ordered two more dishes, and the two of them enjoyed eating them, especially the garlic cucumber. Lin Siwei also told Chen Yafen's story carefully. Gu Qia kept staring at the cucumber, trying to see the skin on it. Texture comes.
While they were joking, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Someone has fallen into the water!"
The diners rushed to the glass windows and looked towards the lake. I saw long black hair floating on the lake, and someone was struggling in the lake.
The lake was already crowded with people, but black hair was floating in the center of the lake, and no one dared to go down.
"I'll go take a look." Gu Qia rushed out without even thinking.
Lin Siwei also quickly followed. Judging from this posture, Gu Qia was trying to save someone. She knew how to swim, so she might be able to help.
Downstairs from Tingsong is the lakeside pier. Tourists looked anxiously at the people who fell into the water in the middle of the lake.
Someone shouted: "There is a boat here, you can row over."
Gu Qia had already seen the fiberglass boat tied under the floor of Tingsong Tower, and shouted: "I'm going into the water, one of you can row over to meet me."
He then said to Lin Siwei: " Wait for me on the shore, don't show off."
Before Lin Siwei could answer, he quickly took off his coat and jumped into the lake.
Several enthusiastic people also ran to the pier and pulled the boat along the rope. Fortunately, there was a lifebuoy tied to the boat.
There was an older brother who seemed to have some rescue experience. He quickly untied the rope and directed others to paddle while removing the lifebuoy.
Lin Siwei didn't have time to look at them. She pushed through the crowd and rushed to the forefront, staring nervously at the lake.
Gu Qia swam very fast, but the girl in the lake was already struggling a little and was slowly sinking.
"Don't get close to her, grab her hair." Lin Siwei shouted to the center of the lake with all his strength.
She didn't know if Gu Qia could hear it, but she knew that the survival instinct of the drowning person would make him hold on to the rescuer. Some rescuers would be unable to move because of this, and would be dragged to death by the drowning person.
The tourists on the shore suddenly realized the danger and shouted in unison: "Grab her hair—grab her hair—"
as if they really heard the cry from the shore. Gu Qia swam to the girl's side, reached out to grab her long hair, and swam hard toward the boat.
The lifebuoy was thrown down on the boat at the right time, Gu Qia got in hard, and then pushed the girl into the boat.
Perhaps she was unconscious, but the girl no longer struggled, letting the people on the boat pull her, and letting Gu Qia lift her up behind her, hanging softly.
The crowd pulled the girl to the shore and laid her down in the open space. The girl was unconscious and her face was pale and bloodless.
"Are you dead?"
"You seem to be still alive, maybe you choked on water."
"Hurry up and call someone. There is a doctor at the park infirmary. Call the doctor to come and save your life."
A voice rang out: "I'm here!"
Everyone shouted. Look, it’s a beautiful little girl.
Gu Qia, who had just climbed onto the dock and was still wearing a lifebuoy, shouted in surprise: "Weiwei, don't move. Let the doctor come."
"I'm her sister, I'll come."
The person who fell into the water was Lin Jiahuan.
Lin Siwei had already recognized her. She was Lin Jiahuan, the taciturn but sharp Lin Jiahuan.
She immediately knelt down next to Lin Jiahuan, took out the waterweed from Lin Jiahuan's mouth, held her chin up and tilted her head back to open her airway, and then quickly started artificial respiration.
The tourists had never seen anything like this before. They were whispering to each other, and some even covered their eyes in embarrassment.
Gu Qia had already taken off the lifebuoy and rushed over. He followed Lin Siwei in the rescue and performed chest compressions on Lin Jiahuan.
Finally, Lin Jiahuan suddenly squirted out a mouthful of water and faintly woke up.
The crowd burst into cheers, everyone was happy that they had participated in saving a life.
...
In the hospital, Lin Jiahuan gritted her teeth and refused to say anything.
120 sent her here, and Lin Siwei and Gu Qia also followed. Gu Qia was still wearing wet clothes, and the hair style that he had combed more than a hundred times in the morning had collapsed. After sneezing five times in a row, the nurse found an old white coat for him to wrap up.
After the examination, Lin Jiahuan was fine, but because of her young age, the doctor said that her family should be notified. Lin Jiahuan looked at Lin Siwei like a beggar and shook his head fiercely.
Lin Siwei had no choice but to say that she was her sister.
"Lin Jiahuan, how did you fall into the lake? You should tell me."
Lin Jiahuan huddled on the hospital bed, lowered his eyes and held his head in his hands.
Lin Siwei looked around. This was a room for six people. People from other rooms were looking at them curiously. Although Gu Qia was too handsome, he also guessed that it was not easy for the little girl to fall into the lake.
"Can you get out of bed?" Lin Siwei asked.
Lin Jiahuan nodded silently.
"The sun is nice outside, then go to the yard to dry the wet clothes."
Just as she put down her hands to get out of bed, Lin Siwei saw the scars on her wrists.
Lin Siwei felt a chill in his heart, feeling that his guess was about to come true.
Even if Lin Jiahuan and she are not on the same side, she doesn't want this to be the result.
The three of them walked to the small garden of the hospital. The sunshine in the afternoon was stronger than in the morning. Lin Jiahuan, who was soaked all over, sat on the bench and finally felt a touch of warmth.
Gu Qia was very sensible and knew that it was not convenient for him to listen, so he wrapped himself in a white coat and went to dry in the sun.
When Gu Qia took a step forward, Lin Siwei immediately grabbed Lin Jiahuan's wrist: "Don't hide it from me, you are hurting yourself."
Lin Jiahuan was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand.
This time she spoke: "I made it accidentally, don't make blind guesses."
Although he was only two years younger than himself, Lin Siwei felt that Lin Jiahuan was a child who grew up in a greenhouse, and even his deception was superficial. .
Lin Siwei sat down next to her and whispered: "You didn't slip and fall into the water, you jumped into the lake by yourself."
Lin Jiahuan suddenly shook up, her body gradually softened, and she slumped on the chair, her black hair stuck to her face Above, black and white, like a wounded swallow.
"I saw you at the zoo."
"Really?" Lin Jiahuan finally spoke, his voice was hoarse, like a broken gong.
"You were watching the little monkeys at Monkey Mountain. I wanted to find you, but in the blink of an eye you were gone."
"The mother monkey will help the little monkeys catch lice." Lin Jiahuan said something meaningless and smiled with difficulty. .
"Where's my non-thing dad? Why didn't he come with you to see the monkeys?" Lin Siwei asked.
Lin Jiahuan didn't seem to mind that she said Lin Zhengqing was not a thing. He didn't correct her or even reacted at all. She brushed away the hair that stuck to her face and said, "They have all gone to grandpa's house. I have to study, and the exam is coming soon."
But you are not studying either.
Lin Siwei lowered his voice and said slowly: "Are you not sleeping well? Do you always feel that there are still knowledge points that you have not reviewed? Have you heard someone say that if you jump down, you don't have to study..."
The Lin family Huan stared at Lin Siwei with wide eyes, slightly frightened: "How do you know?"
How do I know? I have read books, read popular science on public accounts, and have had such cases around me.
She shouldn't have had any sympathy for Liu Yuxiu and Liu Zhengqing's children, but when she saw Lin Jiahuan's appearance, she thought of what she once said to her in the kitchen of her grandma's house.
"I have no problem with you living at grandma's house."
"What I said doesn't count, but I can also have my own ideas."
Lin Jiahuan is not that hateful, she is just a sixteen-year-old girl.
Lin Siwei felt that his heart softened after he came into this world.
"You're sick." Lin Siwei said heartily, even with the force he used to persuade his grandma. "You get into trouble, you have hallucinations, and there are two villains fighting in your heart. It's all because you are sick. If If you really love studying and want to get into a key high school, I suggest you see a doctor."
Lin Jiahuan rubbed his right middle finger repeatedly and said after a moment of silence, "I know, I'm crazy
these days . Mental illnesses are collectively referred to as neuropathy. In fact, these two diseases are completely different, and the mental disorder itself requires a more scientific understanding.
Lin Siwei knew that it would be very difficult for Lin Jiahuan to accept this fact on his own.
She definitely needs a good doctor, a good diagnosis and treatment plan, and a good living environment.
"Can I call you Jiahuan?" Lin Siwei asked.
"Okay..." Lin Jiahuan answered cautiously, "When I was rescued, I heard you say, you are my sister, so you can call me Jiahuan."
Lin Siwei smiled, thinking she was unconscious at that time Feeling at ease, it turned out that I heard myself speaking.
"Jia Huan, I guess you have some emotional illness. This is not a mental illness. As for what the disease is called, it should be judged by the doctor. But one thing I am sure of is that if you don't see a doctor, it will only get worse in the future. "It's impossible to get into a key high school..."
After a pause, Lin Siwei felt that he was absolutely right. Lin Jiahuan is a person who is very good at pushing himself.
She added: "Even if you have strong control and work extremely hard before graduating from junior high school to ensure that you enter a key high school with excellent results, you will not be able to finish your studies. You will not be able to survive that time. But if you see a doctor and receive psychological counseling, If you take the medicine on time, you can probably live a normal life."
Lin Jiahuan shook his head: "I can't let my mother know. She will dislike me even more if she knows that I am sick."
Lin Siwei was secretly shocked.
dislike? Where does this start?
