Chapter 619 Helen(2/3)
Dong Biao pretended to be stupid and said, "What's the result?"
Cao Bin sighed and said, "This is a bit too much. A Biao, I have poured all this wine for you. I also told Sister Zhou to warm up the dish for you. Why is it so difficult to get a truth from your mouth?"
Dong Biao then sighed and said, "I'm afraid you will be sad!"
Cao Bin was stunned and asked in a flash: "She refused to forgive me?"
Dong Biao smoked two cigarettes silently, then pressed the cigarette's butt into the ashtray, picked up the wine glass, drank it clean in two sips, then wiped his mouth, and said, "I found her in her dormitory. When I found her, she was hiding in the dormitory and crying bitterly, but I was outside the door, but I didn't hear any crying. Until she opened the door and saw the tears on her face, I realized that she had just cried."
Cao Bin's expression dimmed.
Dong Biao continued: "The furnishings of her dormitory are very simple. It can be seen that she devoted all her thoughts to work. So, I dare to conclude that Brother Bin is the only person she loved after being a reporter. However, you hid her for a whole week and her heart completely cold. And how could I, an outsider, warm her heart in just a few words?"
Cao Bin said: "I can understand, thank you, my good brother."
Dong Biao smiled bitterly and said, "Just forget it just by saying this? Brother Bin, don't you think you should go to her personally and warm her heart up?"
Cao Bin sighed and said, "I don't want to do it too! But... but will she forgive me?"
Dong Biao shook his head and sighed, "How can I know! If you don't try it yourself, how can you know if it will be?"
Cao Bin picked up the wine bottle, poured his cup full, and then drank it all in one go. As if he had made up his mind, he suddenly felt relieved and sighed: "The snow today is so heavy, and it's inconvenient on the road. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
The snow was really heavy, and it got heavier and heavier.
Helen had the habit of taking a nap at noon and drank some red wine at lunch. Therefore, when she returned to the dormitory, she felt sleepy. The usual afternoon nap was only twenty or thirty minutes, but this day, perhaps because of the effect of alcohol or for other reasons, she slept for a long time before she woke up.
When he woke up, the light in the room was already very dim. Helen was suddenly shocked, bounced up from the bed, ran towards the desk, grabbed the alarm clock and took a look. The second hand of the alarm clock was still taking steady and firm steps. The shortest hour hand was docked next to the five number in the lower right, and the longest minute hand pointed straight up directly above.
"Oh, it's only five o'clock, it should be too late." Helen's face was filled with a happy smile after putting down the alarm clock. There were still two hours left, but it was only less than six miles away. Even if she was walking, she had time to arrive at the entrance of Anliangtang on time at seven o'clock.
With a happy smile, Helen began to dress up.
What kind of hairstyle is good to combed? Helen hesitated for a moment in front of the mirror. Apart from letting her hair go or tied it up, she didn't seem to be able to comb out the third hairstyle.
Should I apply some lipstick? Helen took out her only two lipsticks, but one was broken, and the other one seemed to be unable to apply on her lips. Helen was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that these two lipsticks were bought on a whim when she went on a business trip in New York three years ago.
What kind of clothes should I change? Helen opened her wardrobe, but except for a cotton coat, there was nothing else to wear in this snowy weather.
At this moment, Helen was very disappointed with herself.
She lives so differently like a woman, no wonder Tom ignored her for a week.
Helen secretly made up her mind that after the heavy snow passed, she would have to spend a whole day to go shopping, buy all the various cosmetics a woman should have, and buy herself a few of the most fashionable clothes. If time is too late, she would have to go to a barber shop and take care of her hair.
After dressing up, he also changed his clothes. When Helen was about to go out, he looked at the alarm clock again and felt panic. He didn't pay much attention, half an hour had passed. He hurried out and came to the street. Helen was even more panicked. In the heavy snow, he couldn't even see the shadow of a car on the street, let alone whether he could get on a taxi.
No matter how big the difficulties are, you cannot retreat!
Her nine-year career as a journalist has achieved Helen's stubborn character. She tightened her scarf and braved the wind and snow to move towards Chinatown with a difficult but firm pace.
In the study room on the second floor of Anliangtang, Dong Biao added charcoal to the fireplace. The charcoal was a little wet. When it encountered the flames, it made a sound of pain and joy. A bottle of wine had already seen the bottom of the bottle. Two-thirds of the brandy was drunk by Dong Biao, while Cao Bin, who had only drunk one-third, seemed to be even stronger than Dong Biao. He lay on his back on the sofa, his eyes blurred and seemed to be unable to open.
"Abiao, do you think I'm a little cowardly?" Cao Bin, who was full of alcohol, said clearly.
After adding charcoal, Dong Biao returned to the sofa and sat down, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile: "You are not a little cowardly, Brother Bin, you are very cowardly! If I, A Biao, meet a woman I am attracted to, I will not care whether she likes me or not. I will just put her on the bed before talking about it."
Cao Bin sighed: "You are a hooligan, who dares to compete with you!"
Dong Biao got up and went to the bookcase, found Cao Bin's cigar box, took out a cigar, walked back, lit the fire, handed it to Cao Bin, and said, "You are the big brother of a gangster. There are only things you don't want to do, so what are you afraid to do?"
Cao Bin took the cigar that was lit, took two sips, and still lay on his back, staring at the ceiling, and said, "You are wrong, A Biao, there are so many things I dare not do."
Dong Biao smiled and said, "For example, you don't dare to get up now and drink a bottle with me."
Cao Bin suddenly sat up, his confused eyes suddenly became cold and said coldly: "Do you say it again?"
Dong Biao said happily: "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time and can be provoked."
Cao Bin suddenly sighed, fell back into a state of slump, and said, "Forget it, the food is cold, and it doesn't mean anything if you drink it."
Dong Biao sighed: "You can heat the food when it is cold, and you can cook it after it is finished. But if your heart is cold, it will be difficult to heat it up again. If the person is gone, don't even think about recovering it. Brother Bin, are you right? "
Cao Bin nodded blankly and said, "Yes, of course, right, what you Dong Dabiao said is wrong?"
Dong Biao smiled bitterly and said, "But you let that heart go cold? Watch that person disappear from your sight?"
Cao Bin showed a depressed state and said, "Then what can I do? Go to her with a shameless face? I will explain to her like a teenager in her twenties and ask for forgiveness? I will also buzz around her like a fly?"
Dong Biao replied suang: "You used the wrong word. Brother Bin, Helen is a flower, the only flower you can admire in Jinshan and even the entire America. It is not a piece of cow dung. Flies can only circle around cow dung and cannot smell the fragrance of flowers."
Cao Bin sat up again, glared at Dong Biao angrily, and said a few times, but couldn't speak. After all, he smiled helplessly.
Dong Biao looked at the wall clock on the wall and said, "It's half past five, Brother Bin, since you don't want to drink anymore, then you can rest for a while. I'll go out and take a look. When it's seven o'clock, I'll come back to talk to you."
Cao Bin lay on his back on the sofa and waved his hand weakly. When Dong Biao just opened the door, Cao Bin suddenly sat up and shouted, "You wait a moment!"
Dong Biao stopped, turned around and said, "What else do you have to give?"
Cao Bin locked his eyebrows, stared at Dong Biao, and pondered: "You have something to hide from me!"
Dong Biao shrugged his shoulders and said with a snorted smile: "I confessed all of them. How could I hide anything from you?"
Cao Bin shook his head slightly and said, "When you are fine, you never care about time. Once you pay attention to time, it means you must have something to do. Tell me, what is it?"
Brothers who have been fighting side by side for more than twenty years have always been in a state of fighting side by side, and they have reached the point where they know each other well. It can be said that the two brothers even know each other more than they know themselves.
Dong Biao knew that there was a flaw and could not hide it anymore, so he had to confess: "At seven o'clock, Helen and I made an appointment at seven o'clock. I will go to the gate of the hall to wait for her, and then take her into your study."
Cao Bin stood up suddenly, was stunned for a moment, then rushed to the window, opened the curtain, shook his head, turned around, pointed Dong Biao a few times, and said angrily: "You, you're so confused!"
Dong Biao said in confusion: "Why am I confused? Brother Bin, I think you are not as brave as Helen in terms of love! You..."
Cao Bin interrupted Dong Biao's shouting, pointed out the window and said, "With such heavy snow, can Helen get a car? Even if she calls it, can that car be driven?"
Dong Biao was stunned and said, "When I made an appointment with her at noon, the snow had stopped..."
Cao Bin shook his head and said, "Helen is a very strong person. Since she promised to come over, she will definitely come no matter how bad the weather is. But the snow is so heavy, how can she come!"
Dong Biao said: "I'll pick her up."
Cao Bin shouted: "Stop! If you want to go, I should go!"
The bitter cold wind wrapped the cold snowflakes and enveloped the whole world in a hazy area. The snow on the road was at least one foot thick. If you stepped on it, you would lose your ankles. Helen trekked hard with one foot deep and shallow. The cold wind blew her hair, and the cold snowflakes always drilled into her neck, as if she wanted to find a warm place to settle down. Fortunately, this was in the city. If she moved to the fields, she would have to lose her direction.
I didn’t see a car on the road. At first I could see one or two pedestrians occasionally, but after walking for a while, I could no longer see a pedestrian. The shops on both sides of the road were closed, and because it was not yet legal to light the street lights, I could not see the starlights on the entire road when I saw them.
Helen had only finished one-sixth of the journey six miles, but was exhausted.
Do you regret it?
Helen raised her head, brushed away the ice on the end of her forehead, and showed a happy smile.
Can you still stick to it?
Helen shook her hair, untied her scarf, wiped the sweat and snow stains mixed on her cheeks and neck, and continued to take big steps forward.
When she finally left the city behind, Helen came to a three-way intersection. She didn't know how long she had walked, and she couldn't calculate how many journeys she had walked. She couldn't even remember whether to turn left or right before this three-way intersection. Her physical strength was completely exhausted, and her brain had already shown signs of hypoxia. She wanted to sit down and rest for a while. She even wanted to lie in the snow and sleep for a while.
But she still has a strong will. She knew that she could never stop at this moment. Whether she sat down or lay down, she would be covered by the ruthless blizzard and she would never have the chance to stand up again.
She must hold on.
Helen used her last bit of strength, bent down and picked up a handful of snow, rubbed her cheeks for a few times. With her brief awakening, she recognized the direction and should be turning right.
However, when she stepped on the road where she turned right, she was padded by something under her feet, and her legs became soft at the same time, and she couldn't help but jumped into the snow pile.
There is always gain and there is always effort.
With a nine-year career as a journalist, Helen has achieved career success and has become one of the most appealing journalists in the Kingsoft Post and even the entire Kingsoft press, but she also paid a healthy price.
As a reporter, it is normal to eat or drink but eat a meal when you are hungry. In order to rush to manuscripts, it is also normal to write hard under the lamp all night. When you encounter major events, you need to travel thousands of miles to the scene, day and night, or even sleepless for several days. That is also normal.
When she was in her twenties, these injuries were not physically reflected, but once a woman passed thirty, her body would no longer be as good as before, and the accumulated harm to her health would appear one by one. Helen was thirty-two. Although she felt that her physical strength could not keep up with the past, she did not realize that her health problems had reached a very serious state. She thought she was in her twenties and could easily walk these six miles in such a blizzard.
She obviously overestimated herself.
Helen, who fell into the snow, realized the danger. She struggled to get up with her strong willpower, but after walking a few steps, she fell down again.
At that moment, she thought of giving up.
But when he closed his eyes, Cao Bin's voice and appearance unconsciously appeared in front of him. Helen was inspired and warned that he must not give up, that he must persist in completing this journey, that he must fulfill his promise to him, that he must launch a tide attack on Cao Bin and take him down completely!
However, she could no longer accumulate enough strength to support her to get up again.
Every year, Kingsoft has to have one or several blizzards. When the blizzard hits, the temperature will suddenly drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius or even lower. The wind and snow are so strong that ordinary people cannot stay outdoors for a long time, let alone walk on unobstructed roads. The only thing people can do is hide at home, rich people can bake a fireplace, and poor people also need to light a basin of charcoal fire.
This year's blizzard came earlier than usual, but the earlier it came, the more fierce the blizzard might be.
On the way back, the snow had fallen again and the cold wind was much colder, but he did not realize that this was a sign of the coming of a blizzard.
Cao Bin realized it.
Therefore, when Dong Biao finally told the truth, Cao Bin's first reaction was his concern for Helen. He couldn't help but rush to the window and glanced at the dark clouds covered with grayness in the sky, confirming that this must be the prelude to the coming of a blizzard, and then he really scolded Dong Biao: "You are so confused!"
If Helen came stubbornly, she would definitely encounter this upcoming blizzard. Even Cao Bin would not dare to try to walk six miles in the blizzard. What's more, Helen is just a weak woman. Even if she was only one last mile away from the entrance, she would never be able to walk the last mile safely as long as she was caught up by the blizzard.
In the face of life and death, Cao Bin calmed down instead.
"I should go, I should go!" Cao Bin told Dong Biao a firm expression. His decision was not hesitant: "You immediately organize people, bring sleds, food, fire, fuel, blankets, and then follow. Don't have too many people, picking the strongest three or five people is enough. Too many will only make it more dangerous."
Cao Bin's severe tone made Dong Biao understand that what he was encountering was not an ordinary heavy snow, but a blizzard that was enough to kill people. If Helen had already set off on the road and if the blizzard hit Jinshan before Helen arrived at the entrance of the hall, then Helen would be difficult for him to escape this disaster.
After Cao Bin gave the order, he immediately left the study and went to the bedroom. He changed into a jacket and snow boots as fast as possible, put on a windshield glasses, then went downstairs steadily and walked into the wind and snow.
