Author: Looking at the beauty after crossing the water
Chapter 7 The Last Tenderness
"Remuneration?" Dai Moli's eyes widened.
"Yeah, I can't help you in vain, can I?"
"But I have nothing to give you."
"No, you do!"
Zhang Yi bent down and stared at Dai Moli's face carefully.
Although he knew that Dai Moli was not a human being, his fear of Dai Moli was not as strong as Wang Bin's father.
"Since you can't get paid, then work for me and make money for me. When you make enough money for me, I will let you go free. How about it."
"Part-time job?" Dai Moli breathed a sigh of relief, this was much better than she expected.
"Yes, food and accommodation are included, five insurances and one housing fund, two weekends off on holidays, annual legal holidays, overtime pay, etc...
None of it."
Zhang Yi asked with a smile: "How about it? Do you want to consider it, or exchange it with something else?"
"I'll work for you. When will you take me to find oranges?"
"It's okay now, but it's daytime outside now, are you sure it's okay?"
"You find a container and fill it with water. I can hide in it. Just don't let me be exposed to the sun."
“Can this still happen??”
"What's all the fuss about, I'm a ghost, as long as there is water."
Zhang Yi nodded, asked Dai Moli to wait, and walked downstairs to find a suitable container.
"Phew, it went more smoothly than I expected."
Walking downstairs, Zhang Yi patted his chest and let out a long breath.
Maybe he doesn't need to go to such trouble, after all, he has the power to seal or summon Dai Moli, and she can't hurt herself in the massage parlor.
But the twisted melon is not sweet, and there is a contingency if everything is not guaranteed.
Instead of letting Dai Moli hold a grudge against him, it would be better for her to help him willingly.
In this way, even if she leaves the confines of the massage parlor, Dai Moli will not be obsessed with killing herself.
"Well, what kind of container are you looking for?"
Zhang Yi walked around downstairs. There were many things that contained water. For example, a cupping jar was suitable, but it was too conspicuous when taken out.
So he looked at Uncle Zeng's thermos cup on the table.
"Just this one, not big or small, easy to hold in your hand."
Zhang Yi rinsed the water cup several times, filled it with water, and asked Dai Moli to try it.
Dai Moli glanced at the tea stains in the water glass with disgust, but still got in.
Closing the lid, Zhang Yi put the thermos cup in his pocket: "Can you hear me?"
"OK."
After receiving Dai Moli's response, Zhang Yi opened the door lock with confidence.
"jingle!"
He remembered that he had heard at the station that the young man who did not get on the bus had been wandering on the river bank. He should be able to find it. In the meantime, some good people would work hard to find Dai Moli's body.
After locating the location on his mobile phone, Zhang Yi called for an online taxi and headed straight to the national highway.
"Young man, this place is so remote, what are you doing here?"
The driver looked at the location given by Zhang Yi on the edge of the national highway and couldn't help asking curiously.
"Go fishing."
"fishing?"
The driver was startled: "You're going to the reservoir to fish. Are you here to fish? There was a big accident here last month. It seems that there is still a female body that has not been found."
"Maybe I'll find it?"
"If you find it, then you have done a great good deed. I heard that the girl's boyfriend is now looking for her on the river bank like a madman. He is so thin and out of shape."
Zhang Yi felt the vibration coming from the thermos cup.
"Squeak~~"
The car stopped on the side of the national highway.
Zhang Yi got out of the car and shook the thermos cup a few times: "Can you find your body?"
"You can feel the general direction. As long as you get closer, you can find the location."
"Okay, let's go look for it first."
"Go east."
Zhang Yi walked down the river and walked all the way downstream. The water level in the river had dried up, and the riverbed in many places was ready for people to walk on.
I believe someone has searched for it before.
However, they did not find Dai Moli's body. This was not because the search team was not careful, but because Dai Moli's body was not washed downstream with the river water.
"That's almost it."
"Go a little to the left, go to the left again, wait, it's almost here."
"here?"
Zhang Yi looked around and found nothing unusual.
"That's right, it was right under your feet. There was a pit underneath. I was caught in it. The soil slope above fell down and buried me in the pit. If you don't believe me, dig a few times to see."
“How many digs??”
Zhang Yi frowned slightly and looked for a branch from left to right. The soil was very loose and the branch could be inserted into it with just one move.
Zhang Yi inserted a branch into it, and soon felt that the branch was pushing against something. It was soft and didn't look like a stone.
"Okay, I'll call the police later and dig out your body first."
At this point, Zhang Yi had no intention of digging any further.
"Perfunctory."
"This is respect. I don't strike lightly or harshly. I'd be sorry if I dug you out."
"tangerine!!"
Zhang Yi was about to take out his cell phone when the thermos cup in his hand suddenly trembled. He looked up and saw a figure standing on the gravel in the river.
"Is he Zhao Ju?".
"He lost weight."
Zhang Yi walked in the direction of Zhao Ju and asked as he walked:
"Then what are you going to do? I'll let you out, or give him the thermos cup."
Dai Moli remained silent.
When he walked next to Zhao Ju, he could smell the fishy smell from the river on Zhao Ju from a distance.
As if he felt someone behind him, Zhao Ju turned around blankly.
He is obviously a young man in his early twenties, but now he looks more like a man in his thirties.
Zhao Ju glanced at Zhang Yi with dull eyes, then turned his head in disappointment, staring at the rushing river, standing there blankly.
"Help him." The thermos cup in his hand was shaking, and Zhang Yi could feel Dai Moli's voice trembling.
"Help him??"
Zhang Yi glanced at the river in front of him and then at Zhao Ju's butt: "I won't do anything that commits murder and violates the law."
"He wants to commit suicide, I can feel it, help him, please, I want him to live, I don't want him to die."
"You don't hate him anymore?"
"hatred!!"
"But I can't hate it now."
"I can't do it. I'm not a psychiatrist."
Zhang Yi frowned, this matter was beyond his ability.
The Zhao Ju in front of her might jump down in the next second, and all she could do then was to help Dai Moli call the police.
"I don't want him to die! Please, save him."
The thermos cup in his hand was shaking violently, and Zhang Yi almost couldn't hold the thermos cup in his hand.
Suddenly, Dai Moli's voice became gloomy and distorted, even hysterical: "If he dies, you will be buried with him!"
Zhang Yi knew that Dai Moli was definitely not joking.
It was she who gave her hope. If Zhao Ju really jumped in front of Dai Moli's eyes, she would not be surprised if she would be shattered to pieces in such despair.
"Is there any way you can let him see you?"
To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be tied. Zhang Yi had no way to persuade a person who wanted to die to give up this idea, so he had to let Dai Moli persuade him herself.
"Let him drink from the glass."
"Okay, I'll be responsible for making him drink water, and you'll be responsible for leading him to the body and persuading him to live."
"I?"
"You are the person he loves most. If you try to persuade him and he is not willing to listen, then what do you think I can do?"
After hearing Zhang Yi's words, Dai Moli fell silent.
Zhang Yike didn't care, stepped forward and opened the thermos cup.
"Brother, I've been standing here for a long time. Let's drink some water."
Zhao Ju didn't respond. He stared at the river and didn't react at all to the water glass handed to him.
Seeing that Zhao Ju didn't move, Zhang Yi continued.
"People cannot be resurrected after death, neither Zhao Ju nor Dai Moli would like you to be like this."
Zhao Ju still didn't respond.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi decided to take drastic measures: "I can let you see Dai Moli."
I thought that when Zhao Ju heard this sentence, he would look at him excitedly.
But what disappointed him was that Zhao Ju kept staring at the river without even blinking.
Now unless Dai Moli stood in front of him alive, he wouldn't be able to listen to a word of what she said.
Zhang Yi looked at the water glass in his hand, and then at Zhao Ju's lips that seemed to be stuck together.
"What should I do? He refuses to drink?"
Dai Moli was anxious, she could feel Zhao Ju's desire to die getting stronger and stronger.
Zhang Yi took a deep breath and looked around to make sure there was no one around.
"Then let him see you."
After saying that, he kicked Zhao Ju on the butt.
Zhao Ju was already in a daze, so he was suddenly kicked up and fell into the water.
When the cold river water surged up, Zhao Ju immediately struggled to get his head out of the river.
This is the human instinct to survive.
People who commit suicide will suppress this instinct to the lowest level, but Zhang Yi's unexpected kick stimulated this instinct.
The moment Zhao Ju struggled to emerge from the water and gasped for air, Zhang Yi poured the water from the thermos bottle into his mouth.
"You can handle the rest by yourselves. If not, don't bother me."
Watching Zhao Ju drink the water from the thermos cup in embarrassment, Zhang Yi hid aside.
If Zhao Ju survives, I will help him and pull him up.
If Zhao Ju sinks, he will run home immediately.
The cold river water washed over Zhao Ju's body. After his body instinctively struggled for life, Zhao Ju calmed down and began to relax his body, no longer struggling.
Until the body gradually began to sink, and the water surface shining with sunlight became farther and farther away,
In a daze, Zhao Ju felt someone pushing him on his back and a pair of hands on his chest.
Zhao Ju initially thought this was a hallucination he had before dying.
But when the long black hair flowed from behind to the eyes, and when the familiar face got closer and closer, Zhao Ju's eyes widened.
"Lily!"
Dai Moli held Zhao Ju's face with both hands, and the touch on his face made him sure that this was definitely not an illusion.
Zhao Ju reached out to grab it, but missed it. Dai Moli's body quickly floated upwards with the water.
"Don't go, don't go!!"
Zhao Ju tried his best to swim upstream, desperately grabbing forward.
Seeing Dai Moli's hand getting closer and closer, Zhao Ju grabbed it almost with all his strength.
"Crack!"
The moment his two hands were clasped together, Zhao Ju was exhausted and could no longer swim.
"Crash!!"
A force on his arm pulled him out of the river.
"Hoo! yue! Cough cough cough..."
"Brother, don't get too carried away. If it weren't for me this time...hey, don't move around?"
"Go away!"
Zhang Yi was pushed to the ground by Zhao Ju. He stood up unsteadily and looked around anxiously.
"Jasmine, Jasmine!"
Zhao Ju was sure that what he saw just now was definitely not an illusion. Just when he was about to jump back and jump again, the pit dug out on the side suddenly attracted Zhao Ju's attention.
The pit seemed to have been partially dug up, but that was not the point.
Half of the off-white clothes were exposed under the pit. Even though they were very dirty, Zhao Ju recognized them at a glance. They were Dai Moli's clothes.
Zhao Ju's eyes widened and he rushed forward like a mad dog, grabbing the soil with both hands and starting to dig.
Zhang Yi, who was sitting on the ground beside him, got up, looked at the sand between his fingers, put his hand in front of his nose and smelled it.
"yue..."
Soon the pit was dug, and a heartbreaking cry echoed on both sides of the river.
Zhang Yi had already walked away holding his nose, took out the thermos cup, and filled another glass of water from the river.
Dai Moli followed the river water and got in together.
Looking back, he saw Zhao Ju holding Dai Moli's remains from a distance, gently wiping the sand off the remains, and seemed to be saying something, but even from a distance, Zhang Yi couldn't hear clearly.
"Are you sure you don't want to say goodbye to him?" Zhang Yi shook the thermos cup in his hand.
"I'm afraid."
"Afraid? What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid I can't help but take him away."
Zhang Yi's hand holding the thermos cup shook unconsciously a few times. He raised his head and looked at the darkening sky. He swallowed and picked up his cell phone.
"Hey, 110, take me home, oh no, I'll call the police, yes, we found a female body by the river..."
For many old readers, this may feel very slow, um... Goldfinger came out very late, went around in a circle and came back, um... maybe, but this is the interesting part of this book.
I put all my effort into writing a story in one chapter. It may not be wonderful, but at least it is complete. For an ordinary author, I cannot say 80 points, but after self-evaluation, it is still passable. I hope everyone
