After getting out of prison

Chapter 61

For two whole days, Zeng Ruchu never let his mobile phone leave his side.But there was still no news of the person who disappointed him to the point of anger.

After Zeng Ruchu got off work, when he arrived at the door of his house, he brewed for a few minutes, imagining that there might be someone in the house...

Opening the door, the room was still filled with dead silence.All the things placed in the same place showed that he was the only one who had entered this room in the past few days.

Zeng Ruchu couldn't explain how he felt, his heart was very blocked.He couldn't help thinking, after all, Yuan Yu couldn't hold on anymore, didn't he find it boring to guard himself like a rock?So I just walked away without even saying hello...

He was no fun at all, as cold as a piece of ice... It was better for Yuan Yu to see this clearly earlier, it was better for both of them, it was really much better to be together than to be separated again...

Standing in the empty room, Zeng Ruchu forced out a smile, then found a bag, put everything in Yuan Yu's living room into it, and threw it into the cabinet.

That would be all right, there would be nothing left, as if Yuan Yu had never been here at all.He's always been here alone...

But I don't know why, looking at the neat and empty sofa, Zeng Ruchu's heart feels empty, as if a piece has been poked open, and the cold wind keeps pouring in, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

Zeng Ruchu sat on the sofa with his eyes closed for a long time, when he heard the growl in his stomach, he stood up, took a pack of instant noodles, and went to the kitchen to boil water.

The water was burning, Zeng Ruchu forced himself not to think about Yuan Yu, but saw the jar of sour radish that Yuan Yu had pickled for him.

After staring at the jar in the corner for a long time, Zeng Ruchu suddenly remembered that Yuan Yu said that he could eat it on the sixth day.And today, it happened to be the sixth day...

Opening the jar, a familiar sweet and sour scent overflowed, Zeng Ruchu took a piece together and put it in his mouth without touching anything.

The radish is sour and sweet, the taste is the same as Zeng Ruchu remembers...but the person who made this is no longer here...

Zeng Ruchu was suddenly sad and angry.How could Yuan Yu do this?How can you do this?

When he said not to let him pester him, he was as stubborn as a brown candy, and he couldn't drive him away no matter how hard he tried.However, when he felt that the ashes in his heart were about to rekindle little by little, and finally seemed to see a glimmer of light in the distant future, he left without saying anything.

How could he be so irresponsible and give up halfway...

His chest was bulging, Zeng Ruchu felt that if he didn't do something else, his heart would burst.

Zeng Ruchu called Yuan Yu, thinking in his heart, even if he scolded him and then ignored him, it was better than being left like a rag...

"Sorry, the number you dialed is off..."

All the emotions that had been brewing at the beginning were crushed by the formulaic female voice from the phone.

Did Yuan Yu turn off the phone to avoid him?

Impossible... There was a firm voice in Zeng Ruchu's heart that denied his imagination.Based on what he knew about Yuan Yu, it was impossible for Yuan Yu to do this.Moreover, it was not Yuan Yu's style to disappear without saying a word for the past two days.He could tell himself, and Yuan Yu's things in the living room were not taken away...

Thinking of the future, a trembling fear suddenly rose in Zeng Ruchu's heart, he forced himself to calm down, and comforted himself, what could happen to Yuan Yu...

How can there be so many coincidences in the world... Hehe... Zeng Ruchu's hands trembled uncontrollably.

Something had to be done, even if it was enough to know that nothing happened to Yuan Yu and just hear his voice.Zeng Ruchu thought about it, and went to look for Meng Xiangtian's number in his mobile phone.

The more anxious he was, the more mistakes he made. He flipped through the address book twice before he found the number and dialed it.

"beep……"

When the sound of getting through came from the receiver, Zeng Ruchu's breathing was tightly closed.

"Hello?" Meng Xiangtian's hoarse voice came after a long time.

"Mr. Meng?" Zeng Ruchu paused, and asked in a cold voice: "I am Zeng Ruchu, do you know... where Yuan Yu is?"

"..."

Zeng Ruchu didn't understand why the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly disappeared.

"Hello? Mr. Meng..."

"Yuan Yu is dead." Meng Xiangtian's voice was as cold as the biting wind of the twelfth lunar month, blowing into Zeng Ruchu's ears.

"It was in a car accident the day before yesterday afternoon. When we arrived at the hospital...the rescue was ineffective..." Meng Xiangtian's voice was hoarse like sand particles rubbing against the glass: "Dead on the spot..."

Died on the spot...

These words kept flashing in Zeng Ruchu's ears, then he smiled, and said with a trembling tone: "Mr. Meng, this joke is not funny at all, you tell Yuan Yu, don't play such a boring joke trick..."

"If you think he's just playing this time, then he's really playing with his life..." Meng Xiangtian's voice was a bit cold, as if he had no patience to explain to Zeng Ruchu, he said directly in a cold voice: "Yuan Yu's favorite It's you, I hope you can come to his funeral..."

Meng Xiangtian hung up the phone, leaving a "beep beep" busy tone on the receiver.

Zeng Ruchu maintained the same posture while holding the phone, and the smile on his face gradually became unbearable...

However, he didn't believe it.No matter how true Meng Xiangtian said, he would not believe it, he would not believe anything.

It was impossible for Yuan Yu to die, it was impossible for him to die without saying hello or beating him up.How ridiculous, ha!Yuan Yu is not such a person at all, he knows Yuan Yu better than any of them, it is impossible for Yuan Yu to...

He wants to go back and have a look, if he doesn't believe it, even if it's another trick by Yuan Yu, he should at least go and have a look to see through their trick...

Take your keys, wallet, phone.Zeng Ruchu went out directly.

The evening wind is very cool, and it is easy to wake up when it blows on the face.Zeng Ruchu hailed a taxi at the intersection and said directly to City A.When the taxi driver heard that it would take five or six hours to go to the city, he hesitated a bit.

"Master, I have something urgent."

The 50-year-old driver saw that Zeng Ruchu was really in a hurry, so he tentatively asked the price: "Go to the city and get five hundred."

"Okay, okay." At this time, Zeng Ruchu seemed to be waiting for him to say a number, and he could agree without blinking his eyes, as long as he could return to City A as quickly as possible.

Although Zeng Ruchu told himself to be calm, even the driver could see that he was abnormal.The driver tried to say a few words to him, but seeing that his mind didn't seem to be here, he concentrated on driving, knowing that Zeng Ruchu was in a hurry.

Along the way, Zeng Ruchu clenched his hands tightly without changing his posture, and kept staring out the window with his dark eyes.Taxis go fast on the highway.

A few minutes after two o'clock in the morning, Zeng Ruchu arrived in City A.

The driver felt a little guilty for asking him for money, so he asked him where he was going and said he would take him there directly.

Zeng Ruchu didn't know where he should go to find Yuan Yu.

"Go to the villa." Zeng Ruchu said, and then called Meng Xiangtian.

The phone rang many times before it was answered, and Meng Xiangtian's hoarse and sleepy voice came: "Who is it? Are you looking for death?"

"I, Zeng Ruchu." Looking at the dark night outside the window, Zeng Ruchu said, "I'll be in City A in a while, take me to see Yuan Yu."

Meng Xiangtian lay on the bed for a long time reacting, pondering for a long time, and then he suddenly got a jolt and woke up completely.He said in embarrassment: "It's the middle of the night..."

Zeng Ruchu had already hung up the phone.

"Damn!" Meng Xiangtian yelled at the busy signal on the phone, then opened his dry and bloodshot eyes, got up and looked through the phone book.

Zeng Ruchu knocked on the door of Yuan Yu's villa in the middle of the night.The security guard on duty at night came out with a flashlight: "Who is it?"

The blazing light of the flashlight shone into Zeng Ruchu's eyes, and he blocked it with his hand.The security saw his face clearly and said in surprise, "Mr. Zeng?"

Zeng Ruchu took off his hand, hummed lightly, and asked, "Is Yuan Yu at home?"

The security guard opened the door and said, "No, Mr. Yuan is not at home. He hasn't been at home for a long time. He picked up something during the day two days ago, and then left immediately. That day seems to be NO.13..."

Zeng Ruchu felt another light in his heart was blown out.

"Mr. Zeng, come in first." The security guard opened the door and said.

Zeng Ruchu wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so he said weakly, "No need."

Turning around, the phone in his trouser pocket rang, Zeng Ruchu was startled, and eagerly turned it out, but Meng Xiangtian's voice came from the receiver: "Where are you now?"

"... Yuan Yu's house." Zeng Ruchu's throat was hoarse.

"..." Meng Xiangtian was silent for a while, and said, "You wait for me there, I will go find you."

Zeng Ruchu didn't enter the house, just stood there and waited.He didn't know how long he had been waiting, as time seemed to have not changed for him.When Meng Xiangtian came, when he moved, he realized that his whole body had been pierced by the cold wind, and his limbs were as stiff as rust.

"Don't tell me you've been standing here waiting?" Meng Xiangtian looked at Zeng Ruchu who got into the car in disbelief.

Zeng Ruchu didn't answer him, but said: "Take me to see Yuan Yu."

"Not telling you that he..."

Before Meng Xiangtian could say that word, he was roughly interrupted by Zeng Ruchu. He had never seen Zeng Ruchu's fierce eyes.Zeng Ruchu's every word seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth: "I want to see him, see people alive and dead, unless you let me see, otherwise, I don't believe it!"

"Okay..." Meng Xiangtian's eyes also became deep, and he said: "The remains are under strict surveillance now, because this accident seems to be not that simple, and investigation is still needed...I will take the ones you can't see for the time being. Come with me to the venue, Yuan Yu's... memorial service, I will take you there first."

Seeing that he had no objection, Meng Xiangtian drove away.

Meng Xiangtian was not driving fast.In the morning of spring, it has already begun to dim at three o'clock in the morning, overlapping with the street lamps on the side of the road that have not had time to turn off, it still gives people a dark and hazy feeling, and it is easy to block people's hearts.

The two had nothing to say along the way, Meng Xiangtian's face was tense, and he peeked at Zeng Ruchu's expression from the rearview mirror from time to time.But Zeng Ruchu's almost morbidly white face was always expressionless, and even his dark eyes were gloomy with no desire to live, without any light or waves that a living person should have.Meng Xiangtian even felt that the person sitting next to him was just an exquisitely carved puppet.

The car drove into a strange old alley in the south of the city. The alley was wide and long enough for two ordinary cars to pass side by side.

Meng Xiangtian drove into the alley, and all the gates passing by were locked.Then Zeng Ruchu slowly saw at the end of the alley, a white and black hanging hanging at a gate...

The heart sank little by little, and fell to the end of the boundless darkness. Zeng Ruchu's eyes went black for a while, and the car had stopped a few meters away from the gate.

"It's still being arranged, and Yuan Yu...'s body is not inside. You don't go down, say goodbye to him here, uncles and aunts are all inside, you, it's better not to meet them..." Meng Xiangtian's voice was in the past It sounded in the ears like before.

On the white cloth on both sides of the gate, Yuan Yu's name was written in black characters. Zeng Ruchu saw it at a glance, and stared at those two words, as if he wanted to penetrate it and see something else.

Meng Xiangtian took out a cigarette from the car and lit it for himself.The misty smoke blocked his deep eyes.

The two had been sitting in the car, Meng Xiangtian looked at Zeng Ruchu's face, that delicate puppet-like face, and finally had an expression.

It seemed sad and painful, as if time had passed by his face, and suddenly, this man became a gray-haired old man, leaving only a body that refused to age so quickly...

Until this moment, Zeng Ruchu didn't believe it.But if you believe it, it will take a long process to digest this fact.

Once, Zeng Ruchu thought that his heart was ashamed, nothing could hurt him anymore, and he stubbornly refused anyone's approach, especially those who could bring him emotional fluctuations.

Sadness is greater than heart death, so this is the feeling.

Heart, completely empty, no future, no time, nothing left.

It turns out that it hurts, but it is also a feeling worth cherishing.However, Zeng Ruchu didn't know this until now, when he was so paralyzed that he couldn't even feel the pain.

Thinking back now, what he said before was to pursue a peaceful life without being disturbed by anyone, and he stubbornly believed that such a choice was the right one.But now, Zeng Ruchu only realized what peace is.

Calmness is not avoiding everyone and hiding in one place, but a complete death of the heart...

I dare not accept Yuan Yu, and I dare not even let my heart relax a bit, what am I afraid of?Are you afraid that Yuan Yu will regret it in the future?Will change your mind?Or will he die earlier than himself?

Now Yuan Yu is dead, he died before him, and he still loves himself when he dies... But why is he still dissatisfied and unwilling...

Zeng Ruchu's tear glands seemed to have lost control, and tears rolled down his mourning and numb cheeks.

At this moment, Zeng Ruchu knew what it was like to live rather than die.Being persecuted, humiliated, and suppressed in prison for more than ten years, Zeng Ruchu thought that he couldn’t endure it any more. It turns out that the real hell is when the person he loves leaves him forever...

Yuan Yu, I will never pester him again, I will never lose my temper because he doesn't eat well, I will never eat jealously, I will never... how wonderful, he has fulfilled his wish... But why is he so uncomfortable and wants to die with Yuan Yu...

Zeng Ruchu shed tears without saying a word, but they shed tears more violently than many people who cried loudly.

With his right hand holding the position of his heart, he heard the weeping little Ruchu screaming in his body: Ayu, how could you leave me, how could you be willing to let me be alone in this cold world... Ayu, come back Okay, I won't be willful in the future, I won't bully you anymore...I, I can't live without you...
