Chapter 201 You've Died Twice
Feng Zhibai had already reached the river. Afraid that Lao Mitou would fall into the river, he pulled him back and said in a relaxed tone, "Okay, come back and sit down."
"Bang——"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xiaodao flashed and jumped directly into the river.
"Trail!"
Seeing Chen Xiaodao also jumped into the river, Lao Mitou's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Hey, Xiaomi?"
Seeing that he was dizzy, Feng Zhibai yelled in annoyance and threw him back into the wheelchair without looking back.
"It's disgraceful for one or two people to commit suicide."
Brushing off the dust from her wide sleeves, she walked to the river.
The river was calm at this moment, with only the ripples on the water telling her that two idiots had just jumped into the river.
Her fingers tapped the stone wall, her chin supported by one hand, without the slightest sign of anxiety.
Just as I was about to take out my phone to take a video, I heard a gurgling sound from the bottom of the river, followed by ripples on the water surface, and then two heads rushed up from the bottom of the water.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
"puff--"
Chen Xiaodao let out a breath, raised his hand to wipe the water off his face, and lifted Gu Yu's head up with one hand.
Gu Yu choked on the water and started coughing as soon as he came out of the water.
Seeing the two people coming up, she put down her phone and asked again calmly: "Is he dead?"
"Pooh!"
After spitting out the water, Chen Xiaodao paddled on the water with a proud smile on his face: "I told you I'm here, how could I let him die?"
Pulling the still conscious Gu Yu, he swam to the bridge, threw him onto the shore, and then climbed out of the water swiftly.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
Being thrown onto the shore, Gu Yu propped himself up and coughed desperately.
The dirty river water rushed out of his mouth.
By the time he had retched until nothing more came out, he was already exhausted.
"cough."
After coughing lightly for the last time, he lay flat on the ground and opened his eyes drowsily.
The sun had already set a long way, but the sky was still blue. However, I don’t know if it was because of the water in my eyes, but it looked foggy and not very good.
Sighing deeply, he rolled his eyes and looked to the left.
Feng Zhibai squatted beside him, while Chen Xiaodao sat beside him wringing the water out of his trouser legs.
“…Why did you save me…Why did you save me…”
The moment he saw the two of them, Gu Yu burst into tears.
He lived a lonely and painful life in these short twenty years.
Even if you want to commit suicide, you still have to face the question of whether you can die.
Pulling the handkerchief at his waist, Feng Zhibai accurately threw it in his face: "You've died twice, the first time on the overpass, the second time just now. Both times we saved you. Strictly speaking, your life now belongs to us. You have no say in the matter. You won't get a third chance to die. Just accept your fate."
Laughing coldly, Chen Xiaodao took off his wet shoes and glared at him, "Die, die, die! Do you think dying is that easy? You are dead, but have you ever considered others? Think about us. Why did we save you again and again? Think about your manager. She took care of you for so many years, but now you turn around and want to commit suicide. How would she feel? Yes, you are an orphan, and you have a miserable life! But it is better to live than to die. You can't give up hope of living because of such a small thing! Do you know how many ghosts there are on the Naihe Bridge every year, every month, and every day, hoping to be reincarnated as a human being? You are so good, you are just touching the toilet and making it look more pitty."
Gu Yu was lying on the ground, and the handkerchief Feng Zhibai covered his face with exuded a fresh fragrance.
The fragrance penetrated into his heart and quickly dispelled the fishy smell in his mouth and nose.
Listening to what the two said, he gasped twice and choked, "But even if I don't commit suicide, I will die because of the ghost handprint... You just saw it, two yellow talismans spontaneously combusted in a row. You can't save me at all."
"Who said I can't save you?"
Patting the water stains, Chen Xiaodao shouted loudly: "I am Chen Xiaodao, the 107th generation disciple of Maoshan! If I can't save you, how can I be worthy of my identity as a Taoist priest!"
He stood up by holding onto the stone wall and looked down at him condescendingly.
Gu Yu's sobbing stopped. With trembling hands, he took off the handkerchief covering his face, then raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Xiaodao, his eyes red.
The light from the setting sun shone down from behind, and Chen Xiaodao was like a god at this moment, illuminating the dark future ahead of him.
"oops…"
Feng Zhibai squatted on the side with his hands in his pockets. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but let out an "ouch" and silently distanced himself from the two of them.
"Why did the plot suddenly change direction?"
"That's right, it has become like this."
As soon as he complained, Lao Mitou's voice rang in his ears.
Looking sideways, he found that he had woken up from his coma without knowing when.
"Hey, you awake?"
"I didn't faint! I just pretended to be unconscious just now to show my anxiety as an elder. Otherwise, others would think I was messing around."
"Tsk~"
Waving her sleeves speechlessly, she patted the hem of her skirt and stood up.
"You, you can really save me?"
Looking at Chen Xiaodao's serious face, Gu Yu asked again.
"Yes! And I definitely can!"
He nodded without hesitation, grinning and extending his right hand to the person on the ground: "Get up first, there are people waiting for you."
"Someone is waiting for me? Who?"
He was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he slowly stretched out his hand and placed it in Chen Xiaodao's palm.
With a little effort, he pulled Gu Yu up and said without hesitation: "Your manager and your friends in the store are waiting for you. Let's go back and report that you are safe."
When he chased Gu Yu out, the lobby manager of the store kept asking him what was wrong.
It can be seen that the manager cares about him very much.
He stood up straight in a daze, and surrounded by Chen Xiaodao, he returned to the hot pot restaurant in a daze.
It was already the off-peak period in the afternoon and there were not many customers in the hot pot restaurant.
Gu Yu came back all wet and attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the door.
Especially the manager sister who was waiting anxiously at the front desk.
When she saw him come back, her eyes first turned red, and then she asked the staff to bring a blanket and hot water.
A group of people came over and asked him what happened and if he was okay.
Everyone cares about him and gives him guidance.
At least at this moment, he could feel that he was not alone in this world.
There are many people who care about him, but he has always been closed off and has not seen their concern.
If it weren't for what happened today, he might have been immersed in his own little world forever, unable to extricate himself.
"Sister Ning..."
Looking at Fang Ning, Gu Yu's grievances over the years collapsed.
"Sister Ning, I'm so tired of living. I'm so tired of living alone."
I no longer care who is around.
His tears flowed out like a broken thread.
"It's okay, it's okay, just cry it out and it will be fine, Sister Ning is with you, everyone is with you."
She embraced Gu Yu and patted his back like a mother to comfort him.
The people standing by were filled with the sad atmosphere. They wiped their noses and tears, and handed out tissues and towels.
It took more than ten minutes before Gu Yu completely calmed down.
Fang Ning comforted him a few more times before asking someone to send Gu Yu back to the locker room.
Before leaving, he looked back at Feng Zhibai and the other two.
Chen Xiaodao was shaking off the water on his body, and Lao Mitou was helping him shake it off. Feng Zhibai was looking at them with disdain, his hands in his pockets.
All three of them are weird, yet their weirdness is very harmonious.
Noticing that Gu Yu was looking at them, the three of them looked at him at the same time.
"Thanks."
He whispered a thank you and left the lobby with a smile.
Seeing Gu Yu smile, Fang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart was finally put down.
"Thank you."
Holding hands, she looked at Feng Zhibai and the other two with gratitude.
Old Mitou wrung the water out of Chen Xiaodao's pants, feeling a little embarrassed: "What's there to thank him for? It's because of us that he's so upset in the first place."
"It's not because of you."
Fang Ning shook his head, the smile on his face fading. "I know I shouldn't tell you this, but I feel like if I don't, I won't be able to find anyone to help him."
With his hands in his pockets, Fang Ning looked back in the direction of the locker room and quietly made a gesture of invitation to the three people.
"Let's talk inside."
"Is it about Gu Yu's recent events?"
Old Mitou asked in a deep voice.
Fang Ning hummed.
"Well, it's not convenient to talk about it outside. Let's find a more secluded corner."
He led the three of them to a corner.
The clothes Chen Xiaodao was wearing were damp, and now that he sat down, he felt extremely cool.
"Um, Manager Fang, could you please ask someone to buy me a change of clothes? I'm so uncomfortable wearing these."
After he mentioned this, Fang Ning noticed that Chen Xiaodao's clothes were wet.
He smiled sheepishly: "Oh, sorry, I just noticed it. Wait a moment, I'll ask someone to buy you a set downstairs."
She made a stop gesture, walked to the front desk and greeted a smart-looking young man. After giving him some instructions, she came over.
"Please take a seat, let's sit down and talk."
“Gu——”
Just sit down!
A loud rumbling sound rang in the ears of several people.
“Gu——”
Following the sound, Feng Zhibai smiled shyly: "I haven't eaten for a whole day and a night, my stomach is a little lonely..."
Fang Ning was ashamed.
"It's okay. We're already sitting down, how about we talk while we eat?"
“Very good!”
