A look of joy appeared on Lu Feng's face. In the past few days, his teams had been getting a lot of good news. The land they had acquired was generally not bad. The smallest piece of land was about 500 acres, and the largest piece of land that Lu Feng had negotiated so far was this one.
After lunch, Lu Feng drove to a park not far from here. After strolling around for a while, he found it uninteresting. He heard from the locals that the Yellow River was not far from here either, and it would only take an hour to drive there at most.
Zhang Fengxia had never seen the Yellow River before. She talked about the Mother River every day and wanted to see it. Lu Feng also wanted to see it, so the two hit it off and drove straight there.
The Yellow River surges and rushes forward, its banks now enclosed by iron railings and warning signs every few meters. Every year, people jump into the Yellow River to commit suicide; it's impossible to reason with those who are destined to die.
There weren't many people, but there were still some taking pictures. These people are definitely rich nowadays; the cameras they're using are worth a year's income for an average person.
The air was thick with moisture, and the sound of crashing waves was terrifying. Lu Feng stood not far away, watching the scene before him, and felt a pang of emotion. No matter how powerful humans are, they are incredibly fragile in the face of nature.
"I don't have a camera!" Zhang Fengxia stamped her feet anxiously.
"Stop taking pictures, there will be plenty of opportunities to take pictures later." Lu Feng said casually, looked around, and suddenly saw a person in front of the iron railing, standing closer than anyone else, and in a relatively secluded spot, lying there gazing at the Yellow River.
"Hey, you there, don't fall!" Lu Feng shouted.
Zhang Fengxia also spotted the man and called out to him twice, telling him to step back. The man just turned his head and glanced at her before ignoring her completely.
"What's wrong with that person? He looks like he wants to jump off and die." Zhang Fengxia glanced at Lu Feng and asked, "Should we go check on him?"
Lu Feng hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Don't look at this kind of thing blindly. What if he decides he doesn't want to live anymore and tries to pull me back when he jumps? That would be a really unjust death. Just reminding him is enough to clear my conscience."
After strolling around the Yellow River, Lu Feng could tell that women have an innate love for taking photos. Zhang Fengxia kept complaining that she hadn't brought a camera, and there were no paid photography services in this area. It was just a few scattered people coming to watch the spectacle; it hadn't been developed into a tourist area yet.
"Let's go back!" Zhang Fengxia waved to Lu Feng somewhat irritably. "Come back tomorrow with the camera. I won't give up until I see the truth, and I won't give up until I take a picture."
As Lu Feng walked back, he instinctively turned around and glanced at the spot where the man had been standing. Sure enough, he was still there.
For a moment, he felt a sense of relief. If he were gone, Lu Feng would definitely think that he had already jumped.
On the way back, that figure kept lingering in his mind. Lu Feng felt sorry for the person and had indescribable emotions. He felt that if he offered some advice, he might be able to change the person's life.
As soon as they got back to the hotel, Zhang Fengxia ran off to rent a camera, while Lu Feng went back to his bedroom and dialed home.
"Hello, who is it?" Jiang Xiaoyan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's me. I'll be going back in a week. Things are all settled here. How have you been these past few days?"
"You're finally done with your work. Luckily, I have Duoduo, otherwise I'd be scared living alone as a woman. I just had to find a kindergarten for Duoduo, but she cries every day when she goes to school, rolling around on the ground. I was so angry that I beat her for several days." Jiang Xiaoyan complained on the phone.
"Dad, Mom hit me! Come back quickly! She hit me! You should get a new wife!" Duoduo cried out on the phone.
Lu Feng was both amused and exasperated by what she said. He told her not to upset her mother and to go back and buy her a gift. They chatted for over an hour before hanging up and going straight to sleep.
In his dream, Lu Feng suddenly found himself standing on the banks of the Yellow River again. The person was still standing there. He turned around, looked at Lu Feng, gave a bitter smile, then climbed over the fence and jumped into the rushing Yellow River.
"ah!!"
With a start, Lu Feng woke up from his dream. Sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, casting a golden "1" in the room.
"Bang bang bang!"
Who is it?
"What time is it? You're still not up? Hurry up and come with me to see the Yellow River. I rented a camera and can take pictures for you so you can remember it!" Zhang Fengxia shouted from outside the door!
