第二十二章 茶楼秘闻（九）

阴雨天的绕城路并不是很好走，到处是坑坑洼洼的，两边的树不知是被哪年的雷电给劈倒了，疤痕犹在，也没有人想着替一棵新的，还是那个几乎快被整座城市遗忘的小区，一辆的士车飞奔而来，下来了两个人，又逃也似的疾驰而去。
When they set out, the sky was clear, but the weather changed as soon as they left the city, and now both of them are soaked to the bone.
"Are you looking for trouble? Why did you take a taxi when you have your own car?" Hou Qingyun asked, panting and dodging the heavy rain.
“废话，这路我敢来吗？来一次我的车得刮的面目全非。”林朝夕的声音从雨中传来。
侯清云看看四周的路，是比较破，但也没有那么夸张吧，其实他知道林朝夕这家伙只是不喜欢开着好车到处显摆，更何况是在这里，不管出于什么心理，总会让人不舒服的吧。
After hiding and disguising themselves, they finally arrived at Weiwei's doorstep. If they remembered correctly, this was their fourth time coming to look for her. But this time, Weiwei invited them over herself.
As they were about to knock on the door, they heard a loud "thud, thud" as if someone was trying to break out. Lin Chaoxi and Hou Qingyun looked at each other, feeling that they might run into big trouble. They hurriedly knocked on the door and heard a faint voice from inside saying "wait a few minutes!"
他们也不敢多问，站在门口等着，林朝夕拿出断剑，里面一有什么不对就紧急召唤小花爷爷前去处理，可是里面静悄悄的，偶尔会传来一两声微微的哭泣。
他们的心被吊到了嗓子眼，不知道里面发生了什么，也不敢轻举妄动。
不一会儿，门被打开了，门口站着一个比几天前更憔悴的女人，如果说上次见她还只是身体上的虚弱，那这一次可能是连精神也撑不住了。
Does it mean that she went to see the old wizard again and made a secret deal with him in these past few days? Hou Qingyun couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
"Come in, please." The faint voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
They saw slightly reddened eyes, obviously just cried, but it wasn't appropriate to ask too much at this time, so they went inside first.
Slightly 's home is very simple and the furniture is old-fashioned, obviously with a few years of history, just like the neighborhood. The house is very dark, especially on a rainy day, which makes it even more depressing.
They thought they would see her boyfriend, after all, the force of the door slamming was clearly not something a girl could have, but there was no sign of him in the living room.
"Sit wherever you like." After leading them into the room, Weiwei poured them a glass of water and the three of them sat silently in the room.
"Weiwei, your boyfriend..." Hou Qingyun, unable to bear the silence, was the first to break it and ask about her thoughts.
“阿勇啊，他在休息，在卧室。”微微终于回过神来。
“刚刚那是…”林朝夕对刚刚那一幕始终心有余悸。
“没事，阿勇心情不好，他心情不好的时候就想着跑出去…”微微不痛不痒的回答着。
```html“Weiwei, I know you've encountered some trouble. Don't worry, we don't have any other intentions towards you. If you have any trouble, you can tell us. Let me be frank with you, I approached you in the beginning because I noticed something was wrong with your health. I was investigating that matter, which is why I often sought you out. I invited you out last time because you were reluctant to show yourself, and I resorted to that strategy. I apologize, Weiwei. But I hope you believe me; I sincerely want to help you, and I have the ability to do so.” Facing Weiwei like this, Lin Zhaoxi spoke frankly, otherwise, he really didn't know how to dispel her doubts.```
也许是他的真诚打动了她，微微突然当着他们的面哭了起来：“林大哥，我是实在没有办法了才给你打电话的…阿勇…阿勇这几天有点不对。”
“怎么了？你慢点说。”侯清云递给她一张纸巾。
微微：“前天，v姐来找我，叫我回去上班，阿勇这个情况，我怎么可能回去，于是我拒绝了她，可谁知道，我们的谈话被阿勇听见了，他生病很久了，一直不知道我在那个地方上班，他知道了以后就开始发脾气，和我吵架，你们知道的，阿勇现在的神智就跟一个十几岁的孩子差不多，我以为他不懂这些事情，可是没想到他这么生气，嘴里开始说什么他连累了我，叫我不要管他，让他自生自灭…我安慰了他很久，他才勉强好了一点，我一直以为他是小孩儿啊，当小孩儿一样哄着他，没想到…”
"He is your boyfriend, at least that's what he thinks in his own heart, so you really overlooked how hurtful these things can be to a man."
Seeing Lin Chaoxi speak so seriously, Hou Qingyun realized that he too often overlooked the fact that Lin Chaoxi is a man, and he also has the seriousness and concerns of a man.
Weiwei: "Yes, I regret it very much, but it's too late now. Do you know? He has started self-harming... At first, I didn't notice. When I woke up this morning, I found the bed full of blood. And then, I realized that he had been cutting his arms all night. I was so scared, and I sent him to the hospital immediately. I know he's angry, but I didn't expect it to be this serious. He never used to do this kind of thing, but now, I think he's been influenced. I've hurt him... Just now, he started banging his head against the wall again. I couldn't stop him, and he struggled for a long time. Finally, he got tired and fell asleep. But I..."
Weimi was already in tears, and Hou Qingyun and Lin Chaoxi didn't think it would be so serious, and so fast. It seems that we will have to ask Little Flower Grandpa about it later.
Lin Chaoxi: "Weimi, are you willing to tell us about the situation between you and Ayong? How did you get sick, how did you find the Huilian Teahouse, and what happened afterwards? Don't worry, we will definitely help you."
微微感激的望着他们，轻轻的点点头。
原来，微微和他男朋友阿勇从小就相识，他们都是孤儿，小时候在一个孤儿院长大，虽然无父无母，但是他们并未感觉到太多的孤独，他们彼此陪伴了对方的成长，虽然这个成长是艰难的，但是也磕磕绊绊的长大了不是吗。
The orphanage did not have enough funds to sustain their education, so after a few years of struggling to study, they went to work in factories. Life was hard and dull, but in this monotony, two young people gradually developed feelings for each other. They both were children in this world who nobody loved, but they were so eager for love, and they never gave up on love, at least for each other's love, which made them turn their factory days into a sweet life.
They work diligently, accumulating their income penny by penny, dreaming of buying a small house in the city and even having a pet dog. Having grown up in such an environment, they have no great aspirations, only hoping for a peaceful and stable life.
Soon, the factory closed down due to poor performance, and they left their hometown to make a living in Yunport City. Having gained a few years of social experience and some savings, they wanted to open a small shop in a residential community, selling snacks and daily necessities. This way, they could settle down in the city and consider getting married once the shop was stable. In this way, everything seemed to be on the right track.
The small convenience store has opened. Due to their friendly and generous service, their business was doing well. However, their good luck did not last long as they had no experience in running a business. Soon, they faced a problem with their financial chain, but Ah Yong had not told Wei Wei about it. Originally, Wei Wei was responsible for sales and managing the store while Ah Yong was responsible for purchasing and finance. Wei Wei continued to diligently look after the store every day, thinking of ways to attract customers.
Until one day, a group of people came to the shop and urged them to repay their debts. It was then that Weiwei learned that Ayong had borrowed money without telling her, and that all their funds had been invested in goods that couldn't be sold quickly enough. They had no friends or assets in this city, and they couldn't get bank loans or find anyone to help them. Weiwei thought about selling the little shop and starting over, but Ayong refused. He saw the small business as their hope, their home and their goal, and promised Weiwei that he had a way to solve the problem. Although Weiwei didn't understand, she chose to believe in her man. If she had known that Ayong would borrow from a loan shark, she would have stopped him no matter what.
By the time she understood the truth, it was too late. The mounting debts, with interest compounding, were too much for the two ordinary people to bear. In the end, the small shop was sold to someone else, and Ah Yong was left with a lot of debt. In order to avoid dragging Weiwei down, he went into hiding and she lost track of him. They were separated for three years with no news from him, and Ah Yong never contacted her.
Three years later, the police station suddenly found her and said that they had a homeless person who could say Wei Wei's name and the address of the community. They suspected that he was a missing person and asked Wei Wei to go there to identify him. Wei Wei was very excited at that moment, he firmly believed that it must be A Yong who had come back, but why didn't he come directly to find her, and why did he go to the police station? With a nervous heart, she went to the police station and recognized him at a glance. Although he looked like a homeless person at the moment and his mental state didn't seem to be very clear, it must be him. A Yong ran over and grabbed her hand, repeating "Wei Wei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" over and over again. They both cried with their heads held.
Afterward, Wei Wei took Ah Yong to the hospital for examination. Ah Yong had definitely suffered brain damage and, even worse, his body had been badly mutilated. He didn't have much time left. In theory, it should have been very painful for him to even move, but he managed to muster the willpower to return to Yun Gang. Wei Wei figured that he wanted to see her one last time.
Will Weiwei accept her fate? Will she accept the fact that time is running out for Ayong and peacefully accompany him through his final days?
She won't. Despite appearing to be a gentle and delicate woman, how could she let go when it comes to her beloved? She got a job at Tian Shan Ren Jian in order to earn more money for Ayong's medical expenses. They visited hospitals, spent money, but his health didn't improve much. By chance, Weiwei overheard customers discussing a teahouse that had a way to revive the dead. She paid extra attention and discovered that the teahouse was nearby. She went to drink tea there every night, hoping for a chance. Eventually, someone offered to help her and promised to solve all her troubles. Weiwei would never give up such an opportunity, even if it meant trying a desperate treatment. She took a gravely ill Ayong to try it once, and unexpectedly, what they promised was real- Ayong's health visibly improved…
```html“After that, you all knew... So when you found me, it was like erasing my only hope! Ayong has always been someone who doesn't believe in fate, but now, he has become like this. Even if it's not the influence of witchcraft, I can't believe it anymore. Brother Lin, please help us, help Ayong…”```
微微说完，林朝夕和侯清云都沉默了，又是一个悲情的故事，当你面对至亲之人的生死病痛，很少有人能够抵挡住那个老巫师的诱惑，可这诱惑背后的反噬，又有几个人能够承受呢。
