After coming out of the hospital, Bai Lotian drove straight to his home, found the crimson cabinet with peeling paint, opened the lid, and felt a package wrapped in a faded red cloth from the bottom corner.

Bai Lotian put the package on the table and opened it layer by layer, revealing a small quilt of navy blue cotton linen, the color of the cloth was mottled and there were a few small holes. Bai Lotian poked his fingers into the small hole, buckled them, and there were a few hair-like filaments between his fingernails, and he looked at the sunlight, like animal hair of cotton. He found the lighter and put the filament on the flame, which instantly turned into ashes, which proved that the filament was not cotton, and when he put it under his nose and smelled it, it was indeed the smell of burnt animal fur. When the navy blue quilt was opened layer by layer, a silver heart-shaped handicraft appeared, very small, about two centimeters in length, and the pattern on it was vaguely recognizable, it was a majestic tiger, with eyes like bells, teeth bared outside, and a red silk thread wearing in the hole.

Bai Lotian watched it for a long time, puzzled, and took pictures with his mobile phone to keep them. The quilt was put back in its place, he put the silver heart in his hand and checked it, touched it a few times, and pulled the red rope hard, the rope was still strong, so he simply hung it around his neck, put it in his underwear, and attached it to his chest.

On the morning of April 3, the peaks of Shimen Mountain were stacked with greenery, the green wind floated, and the sun sprinkled all over the courtyard.

Urgently need to find Director Hu Chengfang!

It takes about two hours to take the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway to Jinnan City. Bai Lotian simply packed his bags, said goodbye to his grandparents, and drove to the Handong Provincial Meteorological Observatory.

Crossing the vast Taiyi Mountains, through hills and plains, Bai Lotian has no intention of appreciating the magnificent scenery of nature and travels all the way.

Drive off the highway from Jinnan City North, enter the two-way four-lane Huangwang Road, and then turn right onto the five-kilometer-long elevated road, and the traffic is weaving.

The car gets off the elevated road and heads straight north onto Sakurayama Road. A kilometer later, Bai Lotian saw a ten-story building with a gray and silver exterior wall, located on the right side of the main road----- where the Handong Provincial Meteorological Observatory is located.

After passing through three small intersections, on the left side of the road is Fushun Dumpling Restaurant, opposite is a slope, on the slope is the gate with a sign, installed with an electric sliding door painted blue, the right side of the gate against the wall, is a sky blue cylindrical security booth, a dark face of the security guard, is lying on the desk in the pavilion napping.

Bai Lotian turned the steering wheel to the right, drove up the slope, stopped at the gate, straightened up, looked in the direction of the security booth, slapped his palm at the horn, and the car immediately made a piercing chirp.

The security guard lying on the table was startled, raised his head and looked, rubbed his eyes, showed an unhappy expression on his face, and muttered while grabbing the registration book on the table, walking out of the security booth and walking towards Bai Lotian.

Bai Lotian rolled down the window, poked his head out, and smiled at the tired security guard to apologize.

"Which unit, who are you looking for?" asked the security guard impatiently.

"From the meteorological department, come and visit Director Hu Chengfang!"

"After entering, the vehicle is parked in the parking spaces on both sides of the square in front of the building, don't park indiscriminately. The security guard said, reaching out and handing the registration book to Bai Letian.

Bai Lotian took the registration book, picked up the signature pen tied to the string of the registration book, wrote down his unit, name, mobile phone number and visitor, and then handed it back to the security guard through the car window.

When the security guard turned around, Bai Lotian found that the top of his head was bare like a goose egg, his back was a little hunched, and his uniform was full of wrinkles.

Bai Lotian drove east along the sloped cement road, about 200 meters later, on the left side of the road section is a small square paved with rectangular bluestone slabs, close to the north edge of the square is a gray and silver building, and there are four huge billboards erected on the roof, on which are blue characters on a white background: Handong meteorology, quite imposing.

Bai Lotian parked the car on the left side of the square in front of the building, opened the trunk, put the red wooden box into a gray handbag, walked through the bluestone square, climbed the seven bluestone steps, and came to the vestibule on the first floor.

The foyer is large and reaches up to the second floor, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, smoky gray curtains, and floors covered with snow-blue marble, which are immaculately cleaned. Walking to the elevator room in the northeast corner of the first floor, after it was opened, Bai Lotian walked in and pressed the button on the eighth floor.

The elevator slowly ascended, stopped on the eighth floor and opened again. Bai Lotian walked out of the elevator room and stepped into a long corridor, where several pots of tall green plants were placed, full of greenery and vitality.

Bai Lotian walked to the reception room at the end of the corridor, pushed open the double door inlaid with dark grained glass, and looked inside, there were only a few people inside, a waitress in a dark red uniform with round cheeks was standing in a bar, holding her chin in the palm of her right hand, looking down at a "Reader" magazine.

Seeing Bai Lotian walk in, the round-faced waiter raised his head, walked over with a smile, and asked, "May I ask who you are looking for?"

"Please contact Director Hu Chengfang's office, my name is Bai Letian. ”

"Have you made an appointment?" asked Roundface again.

Bai Lotian hesitated for a few seconds and replied, "Hmm." ”

Bai Lotian walked to a round table by the window, pulled out a chair and sat inside, put the handbag containing the red wooden box on the table, and then, leaning his head on the back of the chair, his hands crossed on his chest, and his eyes fixed on the glass door when he entered.

The waiter took out a glass from the bar, walked to Bai Lotian's table, poured him a cup of black tea, then walked back to the bar, picked up a red phone, and dialed the internal phone in Director Hu's office.

"Hey, Chief Hu, someone is looking for you, his name is ........"
