Retreat

He Yu didn't sleep well all night, dreamed repeatedly, and returned to the narrow and dark cell in a trance for a while, with a hard plank bed under him, and a terrifying demon-like Qiao Mudong sleeping on the lower bunk.

He Yu woke up with a start. He didn't know where he was in the darkness. His chest was so heavy that he couldn't breathe. He pushed hard and found that it was Qiao Mudong's arm that was lying across his chest.Qiao Mudong was not woken up by his push, he was a little unhappy in a daze, turned around and held He Yu in his arms.

He Yu didn't struggle anymore, but buried his head on Qiao Mudong's chest and closed his eyes.Later, I had a few dreams intermittently, and the dreams always repeated many scenes of being arrested by the police, being interrogated in the detention center, and living in prison.He was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't get rid of those dreams after tossing and turning.

After dawn, He Yu sat on the bed, hesitating whether to call Ou Yunjia to resign.

But before the call was made, Ou Yunjia called first.

Qiao Mudong was awakened by the ringing of the phone, saw He Yu sitting on the bed in his pajamas, and connected the phone.

Ou Yunjia still had a gentle attitude and asked how He Yu was doing.

He Yu replied: "It's nothing, thank you for your concern, boss."

Ou Yunjia felt sorry for He Yu, if she hadn't insisted on pulling He Yu to go with her last night, she wouldn't have encountered these things, so she said to He Yu, "Just take a two-day rest."

"Ah?" He Yu was in a daze, and it was too late to say the words of resignation.

Ou Yunjia said: "It happens that you are not in good health. You have been busy with the exhibition for two days, so you should take a good rest. You will not be deducted from the bonus if you make up extra time off."

He Yu said, "Okay, thank you boss."

"You're welcome," Ou Yunjia said, "Don't think about it, since you're on vacation, you should relax."

He Yu really needed some time to sort out his mood, so he thanked Ou Yunjia again and hung up the phone.

He said to Qiao Mudong, "The boss gave me two days off."

"It's only been two days?" Qiao Mudong stretched.

He Yu said: "Then I resign, and I don't have to go in the future."

"No," Qiao Mudong said, "you should think about it again, two days is just two days, let's go out and have fun."

He Yu said, "It's only been two days, where can I go to play?"

Qiao Mudong said: "Don't worry about it, I'll make the arrangements." He just wanted to take He Yu out to relax and not let him think wildly at home.

He Yu was also quite confused, thinking that it would be good if he could go out for a walk, but as for where to go, it was not that important.

The two of them left as soon as they said they wanted to go, neither had to go to work, and had nothing else to worry about.

However, when Qiao Mudong got into the car, Ling Qiang made a call. Seeing the caller ID, Qiao Mudong hesitated for a moment and hung up the phone.

He Yu got on the co-pilot and looked at him strangely, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Qiao Mudong shook his head and turned off the phone.

Seeing this, He Yu smiled and took out the phone and turned it off.

Qiao Mudong raised his hand and touched his head, then started the car.

There are only two days, so I can't go too far. However, there are many small tourist attractions around Chongfeng City. It is easy to find places that are both delicious and fun.

Qiao Mudong didn't say where he was going, and He Yu didn't ask either, watching him drive the car onto the highway.

It seemed that there had been a rain last night, and the ground was still wet. He Yu pushed down the car window, and the air was also humid. The cool wind kept blowing against his face, which was very refreshing.

The car got off the highway in Linshui County next door, He Yu supported his head and asked him, "Going to Shuiyun Town?"

Shuiyun Town is a small town belonging to Linshui County, and it is also a famous ancient town near Chongfeng City.In fact, He Yu has been to many ancient towns in the province before, and I feel that they are not too different, with antique buildings, a winding river, and green hills on both sides.

He Yu from Shuiyun Town also came here, when he was in college, with his classmates. At that time, there were more than 30 people in the class, and there were only two girls, one was the class flower and the other was the tie flower.That time it was a weekend, and there were a lot of people, but also because of the large number of people traveling together, it was particularly lively and interesting.

At that time, Qiu Ao, who was in the same dormitory with He Yu, liked Deng Qiaoli, the class flower. With the encouragement of several brothers, he bought a wreath for Deng Qiaoli to wear on her head. Later, when everyone went to the boat, Qiu Ao naturally sat beside Deng Qiaoli. , The two walked and chatted all the way, and after returning from Shuiyun Town, they were officially together.

It was a very good memory for everyone. Before He Yu went to jail, Qiu Ao kept in touch with him. It seemed that he was planning to marry Deng Qiaoli at that time.It's a pity that something happened to He Yu before he could attend their wedding, and he never got in touch after that.

Seeing He Yu in a daze, Qiao Mudong asked him, "What did you remember?"

He Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "I remembered a few old classmates."

This time it was not a weekend, nor was it the peak season for the best scenery in Shuiyun Town, so it was different from the time in He Yu's memory, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Qiao Mudong parked his car in the parking lot outside the entrance of the scenic spot in the ancient town, then put on sunglasses and a sun hat, and walked towards the scenic spot of the ancient town together, holding He Yu's hand.

He Yu looked at Qiao Mudong with some amusement. Since he walked out of the parking lot just now, people kept looking at him along the way.Similarly, others would notice the two holding hands tightly, but Qiao Mudong obviously didn't care, so He Yu calmly pretended not to see it.

The streets of the ancient town are full of shops next to each other. Because there are not many tourists, the business is also deserted.Flags were flying outside restaurants and inns, and there were people standing at the door soliciting customers. Every time they passed by a small restaurant, someone greeted them, "Do you want to eat?"

Qiao Mudong first went to an inn to book a room, because it was not a high-end hotel, and the room conditions would not be very good, so Qiao Mudong could only choose a standard room, the two of them went in and saw that it was barely clean, so they settled down.

Then I wandered leisurely while looking for something to eat.

Qiao Mudong seemed to have inquired about it beforehand, so he took He Yu directly to a shop selling tofu curd rice. The proprietress of that shop was a beauty, and when she smiled, two dimples on her cheeks were clearly visible.

The food in the store tastes very good. The proprietress chatted with them with a smile, saying that her husband ordered the tofu curds. She has been making them for many years and has a good reputation. There are posts on the Internet recommending their store.

Qiao Mudong just finished eating a bowl of rice, and commented: "Good!"

He Yu rested his elbows on the table, supported his head, and looked at Qiao Mudong with a smile.

In the afternoon, I simply rented a small boat and let the boatman row the boat. Two people and two deck chairs lay on the deck to bask in the sun.

Qiao Mudong put on his sunglasses again.

The light was a bit harsh, He Yu lay on his side and closed his eyes.The sun is baking on the body, and it is a little hot, but the cool wind blows on the river, caressing the body, it is the most comfortable feeling.

Qiao Mudong chartered the boat and let the boatman row it as he wished. They would lie down for as long as they wanted, and they would be charged by the hour.

The boat shook so much that Yu Yu almost fell asleep.Suddenly, a speedboat passed by, and the calm river suddenly turned into waves, and the boat shook violently twice.

He Yu subconsciously reached out to grab the edge of the boat.

Qiao Mudong sat up, took off his sunglasses, and shouted loudly, "Fuck! You're courting death!"

The speedboat had gone far away, and the people on the speedboat were shouting loudly, probably no one heard Qiao Mudong's roar.

He Yu stretched out his leg and kicked him, "That's enough."

Qiao Mudong lay back and put on his sunglasses again, "What's the matter, it's a group of people who need to be cleaned up."

He Yu kicked him again, "I'll tell you."

Qiao Mudong got kicked by him, stretched out his leg and kicked He Yu's recliner, "What kind of kick!"

As a result, the kick made it a bit too strong, and He Yu's reclining chair was almost overturned by him. It was a small boat, but He Yu's whole body almost fell into the river after this overturn.

Fortunately, Qiao Mudong reacted quickly, he reached out and caught the person and the chair.

He Yu's heart was pounding non-stop, and he glared at Qiao Mudong angrily.

The boatman was rowing at the stern, and at this moment he also shouted in dialect: "It's fine to pay for the chair falling off, but I'm not responsible for the person falling down and not being able to pick it up!"

With lingering fear in his heart, He Yu lay back on the couch and kicked Qiao Mudong again. This time, Qiao Mudong didn't dare to kick back again, only to hear the boatman shout again: "Don't kick! If the chair breaks, you will have to pay for it!"

Qiao Mudong reached out to grab He Yu into his arms, patted him on the back, "Forget it."

After dinner, the two walked along the river.At this time, it seems that there are more tourists than in the daytime. Along both sides of the river, there are many small vendors selling lanterns and Kongming lanterns. You can write on the lanterns. When the lanterns are lit, they will float down the river, and the Kongming lanterns will be released into the sky. .

When He Yu raised his head, he saw several Kongming lanterns floating in the sky, like bright stars, floating in the night sky, getting higher and higher until they disappeared.

Vendors kept soliciting business, so Qiao Mudong picked up a lotus lantern and asked, "How much?"

The peddler said, "Five yuan." Then he immediately handed over a pen, "You can write."

So Qiao Mudong didn't put down the lamp he picked up. He lifted the cap of the pen, and when he was about to write, he saw He Yu leaning over to look at it, so he couldn't help turning his body sideways, and said, "Go away."

He Yu froze for a moment, "Don't show it?"

Qiao Mudong waved his hand, "Stay away, take one and write it yourself, don't read mine."

He Yu snorted, "It's fine if you don't look at it." He picked and picked, and also chose a lantern, then walked to the other side and buried his head in writing.

Qiao Mudong finished writing first, lit the candles in the lamp with a lighter, walked to the river, and gently dragged the lantern into the water until he saw the lantern drifting away and the shore was out of reach, then he stood up and turned to He Yu Come here.

He Yu stopped after writing a few words. He didn't know whether to write the next words, or how to write them.Suddenly, Qiao Mudong came over and reached out to grab his lamp.

Of course He Yu protected him and refused to give it, and said, "Qiao Mudong, don't you want to be ashamed! I didn't even look at you, so don't you look at mine!"

Qiao Mudong hugged He Yu from behind. With his long arms, he grabbed the lamp that He Yu hid in his arms.

He Yu was afraid that he would be caught badly, so he let go.

Qiao Mudong took it, and when he saw He Yu, he wrote the three characters Qiao Mudong, and then stopped after writing a stroke, not knowing what the word was.

Qiao Mudong said, "Why didn't I finish writing after so long? Let's continue."

He handed the lamp back to He Yu and asked him to continue writing.

He Yu said: "I'm done writing, I won't write anymore." He took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the lantern in his hand.

Qiao Mudong followed him to the river, watched him put the lamp into the water, and knelt down beside him, "Why don't you finish writing?"

He Yu looked at the lamp drifting away and said, "It's over, it's gone."

Qiao Mudong didn't give up, and asked him, "What did you plan to write?"

He Yu smiled and said nothing.

Qiao Mudong said, "Forget it, it's probably the same as what I wrote."

He Yu reached out and picked up a small stone and threw it into the water, "What did you write?"

Qiao Mudong snorted, "Do you think I'll tell you?"

He Yu also said, "Let's not talk about it."

Back at the inn at night, He Yu went to take a bath, but Qiao Mudong insisted on pestering him to take a bath together.

Naturally, the gun went off after washing. Qiao Mudong pressed He Yu against the bathroom wall, and with the lubrication of the shower gel, he entered his body from behind.

He Yu was a little awkward, mainly because he felt that the small hotel was not very clean, and his palms were propped on the wall, and he refused to stick his body against it.

Qiao Mudong lowered his head, sucking the back of his neck and ears, and heard He Yu's continuous panting and exhaling hot breath, his palms kept stroking along his chest, and finally held the hard object under his body, and stroked it gently.

He Yu raised his head comfortably and rubbed against Qiao Mudong's shoulder. Qiao Mudong lowered his head and kissed him softly in his hair.

He Yu raised one hand, touched Qiao Mudong's side face, and then tried to turn his head away, wanting to kiss him.

Qiao Mudong noticed his movements, lowered his head, and the two kissed each other gently and passionately in the posture of connecting their bodies.

The next morning, after checking out the room and coming out of the inn, the two of them wandered around again. He Yu bought a big cattail fan and fanned it triumphantly, severely suppressing the limelight of Qiao Mudong's sunglasses and sun hat.

He still ate in the town at noon. Seeing that He Yu was in a much better mood, Qiao Mudong drove away in the afternoon.

As the car drove onto the road, He Yu suddenly said, "It would be nice to buy a house here for the rest of my life."

Qiao Mudong said: "I heard that many people in big cities go to places like Lijiang, open an inn or a bar, and live like that for the rest of their lives."

When He Yu heard this, he suddenly felt a little envious, "It's a good life like this. But the housing prices in Lijiang are not cheap, right?"

Qiao Mudong shook his head, "I don't know."

He Yu imagined that in the future, the two of them would never be able to buy a house in Lijiang with Ling Qiang's money. I'm afraid Ling Qiang would be so angry that he would chase him all the way.So fantasies are just fantasies, and people still have to return to reality after all.

Return to the city for dinner and drive home.

When standing in front of the house, Qiao Mudong asked him: "Resign?"

He Yu has returned to reality at this time, and said: "Don't say goodbye, just keep working." Unless you are really squeezed out to the point where you can't live on, otherwise you have not endured any storms, no matter how much you suffer, you can't suffer from being coveted every day in the prison The painful experience of holding my ass.

Qiao Mudong said, "Just do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, he took the key to open the door, and the two of them were surprised to find that the light was on in the living room, and Ling Qiang was looking at a painting hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back. At this moment, he turned around and said, "Come back gone?"
