The black shadow sitting next to the huge rock was Zhang Rui's. After Yan Ning recognized his identity, he led everyone to run over.

Chen Zhijie stepped onto the central platform, and then jumped from his arms to the ground. He ran to Zhang Rui before Yan Ning. She saw Zhang Rui's appearance clearly, with a heartache on her face. She reached out and patted Zhang Rui's broad shoulders, and whispered: "Uncle Zhang Rui, why are you crying?"

Zhang Rui was shocked all over, and then he realized the arrival of Yan Ning and others. He quickly reached out to wipe away the tears and asked with a sob: "Why are you here?"

Yan Ning smiled and stepped forward, squatting beside Zhang Rui: "You are my ally, how can I leave you alone? The injuries on your hand are fine, right?"

Zhang Rui was stunned, a warmth that he had not felt for many years came from his heart. Tiaotiao also said to Chen Zhijie with heartache: "Dad, Uncle Zhang Rui was cut by a bad person in order to protect me, and it was in his hand."

Chen Zhijie stepped forward and thanked him seriously: "Benefactor, thanks to you protecting Tiaotiao all the way, I can regain my only belief that supports me to survive in prison."

Zhang Rui looked at the smiling people. The middle-aged fat man actually burst into tears again without any competing.

Yan Ning was a little at a loss. He had seen a girl cry, but had never seen a man cry. Now he realized that he had no choice but to use the crying man.

Zhuang Xiaoya said: "Brother Zhang Rui, what are you worried about? Why don't you tell everyone that we will definitely help you!"

Zhang Rui sobbed for a while and said sadly: "You can't help me."

"That's not necessarily true, you can talk about it first." Yan Ning said.

Zhang Rui hesitated for a while, sighed, and then said, "Actually, Yan Ning, you also know that I went to Juehai Prison for a purpose..."

...

It turned out that the entry into Juehai Prison was not because Zhang Rui had committed any major incident, but because he took the initiative to enter.

Many years ago, Zhang Rui was still a young handsome guy. Although he was not very educated, he was warm-hearted.

He had just entered the city from the countryside, and after being introduced by someone, he went to a crematorium to work as a corpse burner. He was extremely brave and willing to work and capable, so he worked in the crematorium for three years.

During these three years, Zhang Rui faced corpses every day with various ways of death. From childhood to birth to old age to erection, from safe riding cranes to accidental death, Zhang Rui looked at them as if he was watching his friends go to the Pure Land one by one.

His job is to send these dead people for the last journey. He did not feel disgusting these corpses, but instead felt that he was doing a very sacred job. He felt that he was the envoy sent by God to the earth. If he was abroad, he would be an angel.

Until one day, he met the real angel.

It was a gloomy weekend, and the crematorium was crying as usual. After handing over the ashes of the last corpse to the family members who cried to tears, Zhang Rui bowed three times to the crematorium, changed into his own clothes, and prepared to rest after get off work.

At this time, he saw the girl in the flowerbed of the crematorium.

The girl's name is Zhang Sijia. She was born in an intellectual family. The day when Zhang Rui saw her, she was sitting next to the lily and silently looking at the book in her hand. Zhang Rui took a look. He didn't know much, but he happened to know those words: "The Funeral of Muslin".

The moment Zhang Rui saw Zhang Sijia, the dark clouds in the sky were pushed away, and his eyes were filled with mists of lilies, and only Zhang Sijia's shadow was extremely clear in his eyes.

"Hello...My name is Zhang Rui." Zhang Rui spoke to a girl for the first time and looked extremely awkward. He stood in front of Zhang Sijia, at a loss and looked a little funny.

Zhang Sijia raised her head and looked at Zhang Rui up and down. Zhang Rui was stared at by Zhang Sijia, and she couldn't help feeling inferior: What do I think, this girl is a scholar, and I am just... a corpse burner, and the toad wants to eat swan meat?

But Zhang Sijia's reaction was beyond his expectations. She smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Sijia."

Zhang Rui's face was red and he couldn't speak for a moment. Seeing him like this, Zhang Sijia couldn't help but burst into laughter and patted the marble beside him: "You can sit here."

"Thank you." Zhang Rui quickly sat down, sitting upright, and didn't even dare to look at his eyes.

After a while, Zhang Sijia closed the book and sighed: "The crescent moon is so pitiful."

Zhang Rui asked: "Who is Xinyue?"

"A poor girl."

"Why is she pitiful?"

"Because she fell in love with Chu Yanchao."

"Who is Chu Yanchao?"

Zhang Rui suddenly stopped his voice, and he felt like he was stubborn.

Zhang Sijia explained tirelessly: "Chu Yanchao is Xinyue's teacher, Xinyue fell in love with him, but because Chu Yanchao is a Han nationality, and Liang Xinyue's family believes in Muslim, so Xinyue's family strongly opposed them being together. In the end, Xinyue passed away due to a heart attack, and Chu Yanchao was also heartbroken."

"It's so pitiful, why can't they be together?"

"Because... they are not the same type of people, right?" Zhang Sijia pressed the book on her legs, and the calves under her white skirt echoed back and forth in the air.

Zhang Rui was puzzled: "I only know that there are black people, white people, and we yellow people in this world. Is the crescent moon you mentioned black people?"

Zhang Sijia was amused by Zhang Rui's words, but Zhang Rui didn't know what kind of joke he had told.

After a long time, Zhang Sijia stood up and said, "Zhang Rui, I'm very happy to know you."

Zhang Rui blushed and said, "So too."

This is the first time Zhang Rui and Zhang Sijia have met.

Later, Zhang Rui learned that the reason why Zhang Sijia appeared in the crematorium was because her grandmother passed away. Zhang Sijia told him that her parents were busy with academics since childhood, and she grew up with her grandmother so she had a very deep relationship with her grandmother.

Zhang Sijia also said that when she was young, every time she cried because she missed her parents, her grandmother would buy her her favorite candy. The candy was bitter on the outside and sweet on the inside, and the taste was strange, but she liked this taste, but it had stopped production in recent years. With her grandmother's departure, she could no longer find that taste.

Later, Zhang Rui smiled and ran all over the city to find this kind of candy. Fortunately, the candy did not expire. That day, when Zhang Rui put the candy in Zhang Sijia's hands, Zhang Sijia smiled like a child.

She kissed him for the first time and told him: Let's elope.

Zhang Rui never thought that love would come so quickly. For a moment, his confusion about the future made him say something to Zhang Sijia for the first time.
