Green tea with green plum

The flames flickered, and Gu Yun staggered forward until he saw the face in the coffin.

Ji Yaoyao was in the darkness, and it was only when the light came from the fire that Gu Yun could see her face clearly.

Clean, without the slightest sludge.

Her eyes were closed, she seemed to be in a dream, with her hands in front of her body, the corners of her lips were still slightly upturned.

"Yaoyao?" Gu Yun stood on the spot and called her softly as if tentatively.

The people in the coffin didn't react at all, they were as quiet as an ice sculpture.

"Ji Yaoyao?" Gu Yun's heart sank, and he called her again.

No response.

Gu Yun didn't care about anything at all this time, she took a step forward, collapsed beside the coffin, and held Ji Yaoyao's cold and stiff hand.

The coolness ran down the fingertips, like a sharp knife splitting through every inch of skin and penetrating into the heart, bringing heart-piercing pain.

Gu Yun even forgot to breathe, allowing herself to be submerged like a tide of suffocation.

She held Ji Yaoyao's hand tightly, and the tactile sensation from her limbs gave her a sense of reality. Something seemed to wet the place where the two of them clasped their hands. Gu Yun realized later that it was her tears.

It seems that there are people around who are lamenting:

"It's a pity, it's a pity to leave at such a young age..."

"Yes, such a beautiful girl, she doesn't know how helpless she must be when someone dies."

"What are you talking about?" Gu Yun turned her head viciously, staring at those people with blurred faces, "She's clearly here perfectly fine, nothing happened, are you all blind?"

After finishing speaking, Gu Yun touched Ji Yaoyao's cold cheek.

A smile slowly appeared on her face: "Yaoyao, it must be very uncomfortable to lie here?"

She carefully carried him out of the coffin: "I'll take you home, okay?"

The person in his arms still had his eyes closed tightly, and didn't agree to anything.

Gu Yun held her tighter, as if afraid of losing her.

She softly comforted: "Don't worry, we will go home soon, Yaoyao, if you feel any discomfort, just tell me, I have already called the doctor..."

Before she finished speaking, Ji Yaoyao's hand that was originally resting on her abdomen drooped heavily, shaking unconsciously.

Gu Yun froze, not daring to look down.

She just hugged Ji Yaoyao and kept walking forward without looking at the road under her feet, as if walking like this, they would never be separated.

There seemed to be someone around who came forward and pulled Ji Yaoyao away from her arms, but Gu Yun refused to let go, and was afraid that they would hurt her, so she carefully cared about Ji Yaoyao's feelings.

Accidentally, Ji Yaoyao was snatched from her arms.

Gu Yun staggered and fell heavily to the ground.

The expected pain did not come, all the noisy sounds suddenly dispersed, and the world became quiet.

Dream, completely awake.

A cock crow calls out the alternation of day and night.

Gu Yun's chest seemed to be pressed down heavily by a stone, and it had been a long time since he could get out of the aftertaste brought about by the fantasy dream that Ji Yaoyao had passed away a moment ago.

Just like a drowning person, even on the shore, he still feels hesitating and heaving in the unknown, swallowed wantonly by huge waves.

She had to grasp something to be sure that this was really her dream.

Gu Yun got up, followed the bright colors outside the window, and walked towards the door.

Outside the door is the green hills shrouded in drizzle, and the smoke is attached to the eaves of the people in the village, hovering for a long time.

It's another day.

Gu Yun didn't know Ji Yaoyao's whereabouts yet, before she had time to cross the threshold and see where she was, she heard the crying of the little girl outside the door.

It was a seven or eight-year-old girl, wearing a blue skirt with some mud on the hem.

She was holding something in her hand, and kept crying.

"What are you crying for?"

Like a premonition, Gu Yun asked.

The girl was taken aback by the sudden voice, she glanced at her, and cried even harder with a wow: "This is the garland I made for Sister Ji, it, it's broken...it's the firefighters who were on the mud. They dug it out, but they haven't found Sister Ji yet."

Gu Yun's voice suddenly became dry at that moment, and she struggled to make a sound: "Show me."

After the girl hesitated, she still handed the wreath to her.

The flowers on it had rotted, they were eroded by the mud, and they were so wilted that they didn't look good, but the yellow and white colors could be vaguely seen.

One can imagine how glorious these flowers would be when worn on Ji Yaoyao's head when they were still alive.

She has always loved beauty, if she becomes like these flowers...

Taking a breath of cold air into Gu Yun's heart, she covered her chest and coughed twice, begging the little girl to take her to the landslide site.

"But..." Li Xiaowei said with hesitation on her face, "Teacher Fang said that you are not in good health, so you should take a good rest first."

"It's nothing." Gu Yun said lightly, "I can take care of myself."

Hearing this, Li Xiaowei picked up the umbrella at the door and led Gu Yun towards yesterday's place.

Just one umbrella is not enough for two people. Gu Yun held up the umbrella, so that the little girl didn't get wet, and she got wet all over.

At the scene of the disaster, Gu Yun met an acquaintance unexpectedly.

It was Tang Ruoyun who hurried over after receiving the news yesterday.

The eyes of the two intersected briefly, and neither of them made a sound.

When Gu Yun saw the rescuers coming towards him, he subconsciously wanted to ask, but the other party slammed his head and covered his face: "I told you who told you to come, it rained all night yesterday, and the landslide may happen again at any time. Everyone evacuates urgently and is not allowed to stay here."

"Evacuate?" Gu Yun didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence, so he repeated it.

Only then did she see clearly that other rescue workers were leaving in the opposite direction one after another, and there were many fewer people here than yesterday.

"What do you mean by evacuation?" Gu Yun became anxious, "It's not that there are still people who haven't been found, you're all gone, what should she do?"

The rescuer sighed softly, passed her by without answering.

More rescue workers brushed past her.

Only then did Gu Yun realize that after a day and night of searching, Ji Yaoyao was given up in the face of danger.

Her mind was dizzy for a while, and she was spinning like a dick, as if she was about to fall down again.

But Gu Yun understood that he must not fall down.

She didn't care about other things, and grabbed the nearest rescuer: "Please, she's still inside, please don't go."

The other party had no choice but to comfort: "I'm sorry, we also tried our best, but there is really no way."

No way?

How could there be no way.

She is Gu Yun, how could Gu Yun encounter a situation where there is nothing he can do.

Calm down, you must be calm.

Gu Yun tried her best not to let herself fall, but the only way for her right now was to implore the rescuers helplessly: "Please...as long as you can find her, no, as long as you can stay, no matter how much money , whatever you want, I can give it to you."

With a trembling voice, she repeated these words over and over again, but left no one behind.

The drizzle was still falling, and the sound of the wind echoed in the canyon, like the mourning of the earth.

In the steel forest, the strong and persistent people are omnipotent and respond to everything, but when they are really between the sky and the earth, they realize that they are so small, no different from an ant or a leaf.

Gu Yun knelt down on the ground and looked around, but there was no one left.

The rain seemed to be falling again, and nature never had mercy on anyone.

Gu Yun wiped off the mud on her face and stood up. Instead of going back, she picked up a shovel that had been thrown away recently without hesitation, and shoveled up the dirt bit by bit.

No matter how others persuaded her, she continued to dig as if she didn't hear it.

Finally until the end, Tang Ruoyun couldn't help but said, "Mr. Gu should have had the affection he has today, so what did he do back then?"

She suppressed the anger in her tone: "I said it would be dangerous to stay here, do you insist on making trouble for everyone?"

"Add to the chaos?" Gu Yun lowered his head and continued with the matter at hand without blinking, "If I really die here, I deserve it, and I can't blame anyone. Just please tell everyone, don't dig me out , let me just be buried with her like this."

Tang Ruoyun was speechless for a while, as if looking at an unreasonable person: "Crazy!"

Gu Yun ignored it and rushed into the wasteland without hesitation.

The soil softened by the rain, the whole person felt as if he was about to fall into it when he stepped on it. Every step Gu Yun took was very difficult.

No matter where she is, whether she is dead or alive, she must find Ji Yaoyao.

Perhaps it was the last trace of mercy left by God, the rain did not become heavier, but gradually decreased.

Gu Yun could even feel that when the rain stopped, the wind was blowing on her body, drying her drenched hair and clothes.

Her hands had no strength to hold the shovel, so Gu Yun could only throw away the tools, throwing away every inch of soil with her hands, trying to find Ji Yaoyao's trace.

Her body was already numb, but there were many thoughts in her mind.

If it wasn't for her, Ji Yaoyao would not have encountered today's misfortune at all.

If it wasn't for her...

"Ji Yaoyao." Gu Yun's voice was already hoarse, and he let out the last faint voice, "Come back...Ji Yaoyao..."

The voice was so soft that Gu Yun couldn't hear it himself.

She picked up the rescue whistle that was left by someone on the ground, and before she could wipe it off, she put it between her lips tremblingly, and blew hard.

"Qu"

"Qu Qu"

The whistle was not loud at first, but Gu Yun tried his best to blow it again and again, until the loud whistle echoed in the valley and did not dissipate for a long time.

She exhausted her last bit of strength and fell to the ground.

In an instant, like a revolving lantern, many images appeared in front of Gu Yun's eyes, all related to Ji Yaoyao.

When she laughed, when she cried, when she was angry, the scenes were so vivid.

Gu Yun remembered when her mother was still alive when she was a child, she sat at the desk and taught her to read Nalan's poems: "Gambling books will disappear with the fragrance of tea. At that time, it was only commonplace."

At that time, her mother told her: "This sentence is to tell Yunyun that people must cherish everything in front of them, and don't wait until they lose it to know regret."

Sitting in her mother's arms, the little girl nodded half-understanding.

In a blink of an eye, the little girl grew into an adult, but she completely forgot her mother's advice.

The tears that had been pretending to be calm all this time finally fell uncontrollably at this moment.

Xu Shi was delusional to the extreme, but Gu Yun vaguely heard a familiar clear voice coming from behind, Ji Yaoyao asked her in a puzzled tone: "Gu Yun, why are you here?"
