Chapter 701 Lord of Rain
After the two chatted a few words about the guests in Luo Binhan's house, it was completely dark.Because Zhou Yu's plane was scheduled for the next morning, he needed to pack his luggage at night, so he stopped talking and got up to go to the bedroom.

The relationship between the two no longer needs politeness. When Zhou Yu left, Luo Binhan turned on the Internet TV to watch.As a rich second generation, he does not engage in pornography, gambling, or drugs, nor is he addicted to alcohol or tobacco. His biggest hobby is watching movies, and he doesn't reject good or bad.Over time, his movie review blog has also become quite famous in related circles.But tonight he was in no mood to enjoy the movies.Although the latest European and American blockbusters were playing on TV, his mind was full of what Zhou Yu said just now, as well as the memories of the two of them when they were students.

In the upturned past, the part about Zhou Yu seems to be extremely vague.Except for Zhou Yu, she never had unnecessary conversations with others. Although she often had a smile on her face, it seemed to be a mechanical expression of politeness, revealing the meaning of not being close to others.

Most people who engage in art are a little neurotic. Although Luo Binhan didn't like it very much in the past, he could understand it.But looking back now, many of Zhou Yu's actions were quite suspicious.He remembered something that happened once in high school.At that time, Zhou Yu and Zhou Yu often went out and in together.

In fact, because the two happened to have the same surname, and even the pronunciation of their names was similar, many students thought they were siblings at first.

Both Zhou Yu and Luo Binhan are in Class [-], and Zhou Yu is in Class [-], so the two usually only see each other during lunch breaks and after school, and Luo Binhan will not run over to spoil the scenery during these two hours.The only exception is the school's spring and autumn outings, because free activities are held in groups, Zhou Yu, who is a marginal figure in the class, always comes to accompany Zhou Yu, and the students who misunderstood them as brothers and sisters have no doubts about this.The activity group required by the head teacher is five people, and Zhou Yu is added to make it six.When they went to the temple for sightseeing, they got separated from the other three because there were a lot of tourists inside.

The high school they attended is a prestigious school in the city, known for its strict management, students must board without special circumstances, and are not allowed to carry mobile phones.Among the three, only Luo Binhan and another girl secretly hid their mobile phones on their bodies.

After they got in touch with their mobile phones, they agreed to gather at the gate of the temple, but the other three did not come for a long time.

In desperation, Zhou Yu, who had visited with his grandmother before, went in to find someone again, and Luo Binhan and Zhou Yu waited at the same place.

Thinking about it now, that was probably the only time he and Zhou Yu were alone.

While waiting, a drizzle came from outside the mountain.Because the rain was too gentle, the tourists didn't take it seriously, and Luo Binhan didn't care at first.

There is a shallow pool outside the temple gate, the water is clear to the bottom.To pass the time, he squatted by the pool and counted the turtles.The turtles in the pool were probably released by tourists, and they were densely packed on the bottom of the pool, making Luo Binhan dizzy from counting them.

At this time, Zhou Yu behind him suddenly said, "It's raining."

Luo Binhan was counting to the top of his head, when he heard her talking behind his back, he almost stumbled and fell into the pool.He supported the edge of the pool, looked back, and found that Zhou Yu walked behind him from the gate of the temple at some point, staring at the pool water from a distance of about one meter.

There was no smile on her face, it was a kind of calm that concealed indifference.At that time, Luo Binhan had an unreasonable thought, he felt that this might be the real state of the other party when he was alone.

Later, this idea got more confirmation from others.When the girls in the third class he knew mentioned Zhou Yu, although they would not utter bad words, they would show some embarrassing expressions, euphemistically saying "she seems a bit gloomy", "I don't know what she is thinking all day" and so on. .

Luo Binhan didn't know these things during that spring outing.He was taken aback by Zhou Yu who took the initiative to speak, and he didn't know whether the other party was talking to him or talking to himself.He thought about it, and thought that the other party was his brother's childhood sweetheart after all, not to mention a very familiar relationship, so it shouldn't be a deadlock after all.So he showed a standard smile for hotel waiters, and said to Zhou Yu, "Do you want an umbrella?"

Zhou Yu stared at him for a few seconds, then shook her head slightly.That demeanor was somewhat similar to Zhou Yu's.

The kindness was rejected, and Luo Binhan didn't take it seriously, and was going to continue counting the turtles.At this time Zhou Yu said again: "Don't get too close to the pool water, it may be dangerous if you fall."

Luo Binhan looked back at her a little confused.The pond where the turtles are kept is not deep, and the place where he is standing is even shallower, no more than one meter by visual inspection.Not to mention that Luo Binhan is good at breaststroke, even if a landlubber falls into it, he won't be drowned.Zhou Yu, who was standing nearby, could not have noticed this point.

However, she stared at the pool with a strange gaze and said, "When it rains, if you fall into the water, you may be taken away by the Lord of Rain."

"……what?"

Zhou Yu suddenly smiled.It wasn't a polite smirk, but there was something sinister in that delicate and mysterious smile.

She tilted her head slightly, put her finger on her lips, and said as if telling a secret:

"I will be taken to the moon."

Her expression and tone left a deep impression on Luo Binhan.Later, when watching horror movies produced in Japan and South Korea, he often used "similarity with Zhou Yu" as the scoring standard for female ghosts.

But since then, although Zhou Yu occasionally showed some scary expressions, she never mentioned the "Lord of Rain" again.This may be because of Zhou Yu's presence.

Regarding the term "Lord of Rain", Luo Binhan tried to search the Internet, but he couldn't find anything that matched it, so he forgot about it and regarded it as a strange folk tale that Zhou Yu heard when he was a child.It is said that Zhou Yu's father was obsessed with folklore during his lifetime, and a large number of related elements were also incorporated in his early oil paintings.In the basement of Zhou Yu's house, he and Zhou Yu found many old collections of folk myths.Among them are well-known legends, such as the White Snake, the Seven Fairies, and the Snail Girl, but they are all quite different from the modern version of the story, like an earlier regional storybook.

There are also foreign stories in the collection, but because they are in foreign languages, Zhou Yu is responsible for checking all of them.It is said that they are also some famous folk myths.

In addition, there are some rather remote legends.For example, Spider Lady, Yuyinnv, Xiaohe, these stories Luo Binhan has never heard of.

For some reason, all the stories seem to have the same theme, that is, tragic women with special backgrounds and unhappy marriages.Even if it is a story that ends in comedy in the mainstream perception, Zhou Yu's father seems to only collect the tragic version.

Although Luo Binhan did not see the so-called "Lord of Rain" in these books, since her father was obsessed with such legends, he presumably would tell his daughter a story with a similar theme—Luo Binhan had met the painter once, Frankly speaking, the impression is not particularly good.

Telling such pessimistic and poignant stories to young girls is definitely something that artist can do.

However, if it was just a childhood story, why did Zhou Yu show such a weird attitude?
In the past, he thought it was Zhou Yu who was playing tricks to frighten him for fun.But many years later, after Zhou Yu's mysterious disappearance, that story seems to have become meaningful again.

... Could it be that Zhou Yu was really taken away by the Lord of Rain? ...

Luo Binhan came up with this idea in a daze.Then, he closed his eyes, tilted his head, and fell into a deep sleep.
