I loved you so deeply
Chapter 42 Life and Death
Chapter 42 Life and Death (2)
It heralds the coming of a new day.
"Hello—" Gu Jin waved her hands to the distance to greet them, she danced and cheered in the morning sun, joy emanating from her heart for no reason.
"It's really rare." She sighed sincerely, "I've never seen these before."
"Yes." Lacey held up the camera, and the shutter clicked, "I haven't seen it either."
The wind blows Gu Jin's disheveled hair, and the side of her face is also covered with a layer of golden yellow by the afterglow of the rising sun, and even the fine fluff on her face can be seen.
She was wearing a jacket, a pair of dirty jeans, and dried mud on her sneakers, but this didn't affect her good mood at all.
Lei Xi kept the shutter in her hand, and suddenly asked her: "Shall I take a picture for you?"
Gu Jin asked, "Aren't you taking pictures all the time?"
"It's not about them, it's about you." Lacey took a few steps forward, took out a memory card from his pocket and put it in the camera. Dozens of girls with different faces were displayed on the screen.
They stand in the desert, on the rocks of the waterfall, or in the primeval jungle. Their faces are painted with mottled colors or without makeup, but they are all surprisingly young. Dedicated to their soft and beautiful bodies.
In addition to landscapes, Lacey's photography works are female portraits.
Gu Jin shook her head: "No. If it goes two or three years, maybe I will agree."
Lei Xi asked back: "Afraid that I have bad intentions?"
"No, I'm not young anymore." Gu Jin smiled shyly.
Lei Xi did not give in easily, and looked at her firmly, without any greed in her eyes: "You are only 25 years old this year, which is the best age for a girl."
"It's 26 years old." Gu Jin retorted, "After yesterday, I'm 26 years old."
"I can't show myself as unscrupulously as they do." She said, turning and walking down the mountain, her resistance was very obvious.
Lacey stopped persuading her, and the two returned to the camp in silence, the atmosphere a bit awkward.
Today there is a car from a tour group. They need to pack up early and take a ride to Cape Town, then rent a boat to Seal Island and Penguin Beach, and finally go to the Cape of Good Hope, which is the last stop of their group.It was also Gu Jin's last stop with them.
When arriving in Cape Town, the first thing is to find a reliable hotel.
After ten days of tossing, the chances of sleeping in the bed are too few.However, it is the peak travel season now, and there is no advance reservation. I found three vacancies, but Sana finally communicated with the local language, and found three vacancies in a residential hotel near the port.
Although it is not as comfortable as a hotel, but fortunately it is close to the port, so it is convenient to rent a boat, and there is a very large open-air lawn outside the residence. Behind the lawn is a forest, facing a clear spring.
In the afternoon, Lei Xi followed Hu Peng and several men to the port to find the boss to rent a boat and negotiate the price. Professor Zhang, Gu Jin, and Sana sat and rested in a small coffee shop near the port.
Because of the large number of tourists, many black children took the opportunity to take pictures with foreign tourists to ask for money.
A skinny little boy on the street was begging for being photographed by a white gentleman without giving money. Gu Jin stretched out his hand for comparison, and the arm was only as thick as his own wrist.
Because of climate and natural conditions, Africa is always prone to various viruses because of its barren climate and natural conditions. Gu Jin has seen too many children who were unable to heal because of poverty or illness.
The little boy followed behind the white gentleman's ass, stretching out his hand relentlessly, but he was ignored all the time. After following for a few meters, the gentleman probably got annoyed and kicked the little boy directly.
Gu Jin stood up.
Professor Zhang looked up at her in astonishment: "Little Gu? What's wrong?"
Gu Jin stared at the little boy, who was wearing a wide white vest and red shorts, got up from the ground and patted the dirt on his body.Professor Zhang followed her eyes and smiled kindly: "Xiao Gu, you should like children very much, right?"
Gu Jin scratched her hair in embarrassment, and sat down awkwardly: "It's okay..." She glanced in the direction of the little boy again, "I just think these children are very pitiful."
The little boy was walking back, his eyes were always looking for the next target to take pictures, Gu Jin raised his hand, the boy's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran towards her.
Sana's eyes widened, and she hurriedly held down Gu Jin's hand, her face full of absurdity: "Gu! Can't! No! No!"
She spoke quickly in Chinese: "You really can't do this anymore, one knows that there is such an opportunity, then there will be many, many children, really, you believe me, this is just a way for them to exploit tourists to make money , It’s not that I don’t really have no money to eat.”
This is the case in Kenya. When walking on the street, there will always be black people who come up to ask for money. Because there are adult men in the line, it can be somewhat deterrent, but when it is a child, Gu Jin is always the first to take money out of his pocket. Small change, for this reason, Lacey had told her many times with a cold face.
But it was too late.
The little boy ran up to Gu Jin, stretched out a hand, and asked in poor English: "Lady, need a photo with me?" (Lady, do you need a photo with me?)"
"No." Gu Jin smiled, and found a ten-rand bill from his jeans pocket, "Please buy a cup of coffee. (Please buy me a cup of coffee.)"
The little boy nodded happily, took the money and ran away.
Sana rolled her eyes at Gu Jin, with her braids swaying around her head, venting her dissatisfaction with her: "He won't buy it, and he will bring more people who want to take pictures with you."
Gu Jin didn't care, she was wearing a sun hat, still smiling: "I trust him."
A child's eyes are always sincere and clear, and his desire is always more straightforward than that of an adult. He needs money and is willing to do something for it, so Gu Jin is also willing to believe him.
After a while, the little boy slowly came across the street with a cup of coffee. He carefully put the coffee in front of Gu Jin, and showed her the coin in his hand. Gu Jin waved his hand with a smile, and the little boy smiled instantly. .
His teeth were very white, and his large eyes were full of gratitude.
He put the sugar and milk bag in Gu Jin's hands, and ran away happily.
Professor Zhang, who had been sitting opposite Gu Jin, remained silent and kept watching Gu Jin.
At first, she thought that Gu Jin was a rich lady with a lot of money. She followed the example of those people in TV and novels and ran out to see the vast world. After getting in touch with her more, she found that this little girl had her own story.She seldom speaks, and she seldom shows off or talks about her family environment, or even where she came from. In the eyes she looks at those children, besides sympathy, there is more compassion, the kind that comes from A woman's natural maternal aura.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were many cargo ships docking at the dock to unload, and the boatmen were surging and very noisy. Lei Xi and the others came back from the port under the sun, and the situation on their faces was not optimistic.
"The last two rented boats will not come until three days later. The owner of the boat is a thief. Now the price has risen. A boat costs [-] rand a day, not counting the deposit."
Sana asked: "Then what should we do? Let's transfer to Durban to see?"
Professor Zhang's lover, Professor Su, disagreed: "After so many days of tossing around, the old bones can't hold on anymore, so I just rest in Cape Town for a few days to calm down and go when there is a boat."
Professor Su was Lei Xi's first teacher, he respected him very much, Lei Xi asked for other people's opinions: "Hu Peng, Gu Jin, what about you?"
Gu Jin was alone and could do whatever he wanted, while Hu Peng was usually bound by work, so it was rare for him to come out, so he agreed.
So everyone agreed to rest and hang out in Cape Town in the next few days. During the day, Lei Xi and Hu Peng came to the port to watch the news. When there was a free ship, they would leave immediately.
After buying a few sandwiches at the small coffee shop for dinner, the six of them walked along the port to the rented houses.
The Port of Cape Town is the largest shipping center in South Africa, with hundreds of cargo ships calling every day, the port is very lively.On the third unloading channel, seven or eight porters in orange overalls are unloading today's batch of containers. Tan Yu is wearing sunglasses, beach pants and old man's shirt, and is counting the number with the person in charge on the ship.
"Have you delivered the boxes of medicine I asked for?"
"It's shipped. The box specially packed from Wuxi Pharmaceutical Factory is also included in the customs declaration, and the batch of laboratory instruments you asked for. This time they all came with the ship." The person in charge on the ship scratched his head and smiled, "And we Mr. Pang asked me to give you a sentence."
Tan Yu lowered his eyes and signed the form: "Say."
"He said that there are a lot of viruses in Africa, you should be careful, don't catch something wrong later, and die young..."
Before he finished speaking, the boatman was kicked hard on the buttocks. Tan Yu threw the list to him and scolded with a smile, "Get out."
The laboratory urgently needed this batch of medicine for experiments. Tan Yu asked several people to load the medicine into the car, and leaned against the front of the little jeep to smoke. As soon as the fire was lit, it stopped moving.
Six or seven people came from a distance, because they had black hair and yellow skin, and had the same Asian features as themselves, so they were easy to recognize. In the middle of the crowd stood a girl, tall and thin, wearing a baseball cap, with her shoulders behind her back Bao, that face looks familiar no matter how you look at it.
They passed in front of him, and Tan Yu recognized them.
She was a little tanned, but Tan Yu had a deep memory of the upturned corners of her mouth when she smiled and those vivid black eyes that looked like paintings.
She'd been talking to the long-haired, moustache man next to her with no other focus.
Tan Yu reached out his hand to greet her like a stupefied kid: "Gu..."
Before the word "Jin" came out, the group of people had already passed under his nose, and Gu Jin's back was gradually submerged in the crowd.
Tan Yu stared at them for a long time, feeling uneasy, he turned the key with a cigarette in his mouth, and the little jeep swished out in the Cape Town sunset.
There was a small bonfire party at the residential hotel where we stayed at night.
There is a long ring of light strips hanging on the tree, and the picked wooden branches are paved with red bricks to form a tall small tower, poured with gasoline, and the fire is bright. In order to create an atmosphere, the boss even specially roasted a turkey to send For everyone to eat.
The smell of sizzling meat is accompanied by the strong smell of the bonfire. The passengers staying in the hotel sit and chat and laugh together in twos and various languages are intertwined, which is very lively.
The wine is locally produced beer, which has a strong stamina. After a few sips with everyone, Gu Jin felt a little floaty.Against the firelight, her cheeks were a little red.
It was rare that the atmosphere was so good. Counting the other Chinese tourists in the hotel, more than a dozen people chatted together.
"Professor Zhang, are you planning to participate in this year's Hasselblad International Competition after filming The Great Migration?"
"I'm over 60 years old, what kind of competitions do I still participate in? This time, Xizi forced us to come. Your Uncle Su's physical condition has not been as good as before. I thought I would come to see him again while he was still able to take some pictures. Go back to the students."
Hu Peng nodded, and asked the young men and women sitting opposite: "Where are you all from? Our Professor Zhang and Xizi are from Shanghai, I am from Beijing, and Xiao Gu is from City C."
Everyone talked at once.
"I'm from Sichuan."
"From Jiangxi."
"Shenyang."
Several kinds of Mandarin with a slight dialect are mixed together, which makes people laugh.Sitting cross-legged next to Gu Jin, Lei Xi asked casually, "I heard that the snacks in City C are good. When will you go? Can you be a guide?"
Gu Jin was taken aback: "I haven't been back for a long time, and I lived with my mother in City B before." Afraid Leixi would think that she was deliberately refusing, Gu Jin added, "However, a few years ago, the commercial street was still When it was underdeveloped, there were a few places where the snacks were really good, if you want to go, I will send you the map strategy."
Lacey's expression suddenly became very meaningful.
"Hey, Xizi! Someone asked how you and your daughter-in-law met!" Someone shouted from the opposite side, "Professor Zhang and Professor Su met at a school fraternity in [-]. Tell me, Say it."
Lei Xi looked away from Gu Jin's face, and said awkwardly: "Why do you think of talking about this?"
Lacey is the more maverick among the dozen or so people. She has jet-black hair tied behind her head and a classic beard that looks very masculine in the pictorials. It's hard not to notice.
The girl from Shenyang on the opposite side is very forthright: "A bunch of big girls and young men, why not talk about this. Besides, isn't this an opportunity for you to inquire about the news in disguise! This foreign country is dark and windy, so drink a little wine , When the feelings come, it is also convenient to do things. That... Gu... Gu, what is it, I'm really sorry, I didn't remember it. "
Gu Jin smiled indifferently, and repeated his name aloud: "Gu——Jin."
"Yes! Gu Jin!" Miss Shenyang waved her hand, full of domineering, "Are you single? Do you have a boyfriend? I think the guy next to me has been staring at you for a long time."
The boy sitting next to the girl from Shenyang looked like a college student, with a frail and fair appearance, wearing black-rimmed glasses, which reminded Gu Jin of Fu Anchang suddenly.
She looked at the boy and smiled politely: "I've been married before."
"Oh..." There was a sigh of relief.
Someone inadvertently glanced at Gu Jin's finger.The Shenyang girl set her sights on Lei Xi again: "Brother Lei? What about you? Are you married yet?"
Everyone laughed tacitly.Hu Peng waved his hand: "You can ask others, but let's forget about Xizi. How about starting with me?"
The Shenyang girl refused to let go: "Why can't Brother Lei?"
Hu Peng also got excited: "Hey, little girl, why are you so serious, don't say that Brother Lei has a wife, but he doesn't, and you two have nothing to do today!"
The two of you said nothing to each other and didn't let anyone else. Seeing the smell of gunpowder getting stronger, Leixi suddenly whistled: "Okay, okay, I haven't said anything yet, you two start fighting first."
"It's just—" Miss Shenyang gave Hu Peng a gouged look, "Mind your own business."
Leixi raised her head and took two sips of beer. After the burning in her stomach subsided, she said in a low voice, "My wife has been dead for seven years."
Everyone fell silent.
It seemed to be waiting for Lacey's next words, as if to express his apology for his rude question just now.
Leixi smiled indifferently: "I met her when I was studying in Beijing in 15. Her hometown is in City C, and her family conditions are not good. After being admitted to university, the whole family finally came to Beijing to play. At that time It costs [-] yuan to take a group photo at the entrance of the Forbidden City, and she was negotiating with people under the Tiananmen Gate. The little girl was wearing a white shirt, a woolen skirt, and combed her doll hair. I immediately took aim at it.”
Feelings always make people fall into the memories of the past.
Reciby drew the camera: "Nikon FM2 was used at that time. I went to the Forbidden City with my teacher to collect scenery. When the teacher was not paying attention, I went to ask her. I said, can I take a photo for you? It doesn't cost money. You can give it to me after the photo is finished." address, and I'll send the photo back to you."
"Young man is very scheming..."
I don't know who made a joke, everyone laughed softly, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Leixi also laughed: "She thought I was a liar at first, but I gave her the student ID card of the photography school before she believed it. I took more than a dozen photos of her, and left the address before I left, and we started to correspond. First Say hello in the name of sending photos, and then talk about work, study environment, family, and relationship when we get acquainted. After she graduates from university, I will pick her up and come to Shanghai, and then we will settle down. In the second year of marriage, we will have a happy family. daughter."
"Then what happened..."
Leixi's eyes dimmed: "She has been working in the substation. During a heavy rain, more than a dozen main gates and laboratories in the back mountain of the substation were open. She happened to be on duty that day. When she went to the back mountain to close the gate, she met Electric shock, accident, I was shooting a work in an autonomous county in Guizhou at that time, and there was only a box of ashes left when I returned.”
The crowd was silent for a long time, and the girl from Shenyang muttered to herself: "The world is unpredictable."

It heralds the coming of a new day.
"Hello—" Gu Jin waved her hands to the distance to greet them, she danced and cheered in the morning sun, joy emanating from her heart for no reason.
"It's really rare." She sighed sincerely, "I've never seen these before."
"Yes." Lacey held up the camera, and the shutter clicked, "I haven't seen it either."
The wind blows Gu Jin's disheveled hair, and the side of her face is also covered with a layer of golden yellow by the afterglow of the rising sun, and even the fine fluff on her face can be seen.
She was wearing a jacket, a pair of dirty jeans, and dried mud on her sneakers, but this didn't affect her good mood at all.
Lei Xi kept the shutter in her hand, and suddenly asked her: "Shall I take a picture for you?"
Gu Jin asked, "Aren't you taking pictures all the time?"
"It's not about them, it's about you." Lacey took a few steps forward, took out a memory card from his pocket and put it in the camera. Dozens of girls with different faces were displayed on the screen.
They stand in the desert, on the rocks of the waterfall, or in the primeval jungle. Their faces are painted with mottled colors or without makeup, but they are all surprisingly young. Dedicated to their soft and beautiful bodies.
In addition to landscapes, Lacey's photography works are female portraits.
Gu Jin shook her head: "No. If it goes two or three years, maybe I will agree."
Lei Xi asked back: "Afraid that I have bad intentions?"
"No, I'm not young anymore." Gu Jin smiled shyly.
Lei Xi did not give in easily, and looked at her firmly, without any greed in her eyes: "You are only 25 years old this year, which is the best age for a girl."

Leixi smiled indifferently: "I met her when I was studying in Beijing in 15. Her hometown is in City C, and her family conditions are not good. After being admitted to university, the whole family finally came to Beijing to play. At that time It costs [-] yuan to take a group photo at the entrance of the Forbidden City, and she was negotiating with people under the Tiananmen Gate. The little girl was wearing a white shirt, a woolen skirt, and combed her doll hair. I immediately took aim at it.”
Feelings always make people fall into the memories of the past.
Reciby drew the camera: "Nikon FM2 was used at that time. I went to the Forbidden City with my teacher to collect scenery. When the teacher was not paying attention, I went to ask her. I said, can I take a photo for you? It doesn't cost money. You can give it to me after the photo is finished." address, and I'll send the photo back to you."
"Young man is very scheming..."
I don't know who made a joke, everyone laughed softly, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Leixi also laughed: "She thought I was a liar at first, but I gave her the student ID card of the photography school before she believed it. I took more than a dozen photos of her, and left the address before I left, and we started to correspond. First Say hello in the name of sending photos, and then talk about work, study environment, family, and relationship when we get acquainted. After she graduates from university, I will pick her up and come to Shanghai, and then we will settle down. In the second year of marriage, we will have a happy family. daughter."
"Then what happened..."
Leixi's eyes dimmed: "She has been working in the substation. During a heavy rain, more than a dozen main gates and laboratories in the back mountain of the substation were open. She happened to be on duty that day. When she went to the back mountain to close the gate, she met Electric shock, accident, I was shooting a work in an autonomous county in Guizhou at that time, and there was only a box of ashes left when I returned.”
The crowd was silent for a long time, and the girl from Shenyang muttered to herself: "The world is unpredictable."
