Jiang Ruli glanced at the status bar in the upper right corner of the computer, one thirty-five minutes, the time agreed with Sui Qingliu had passed, but the other party had not yet appeared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info He groaned for a while, and was about to call to ask, when the phone on the table rang, "Doctor Jiang, Miss Sui has arrived." ”

"Please let her in. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Jiang Ruli feels that Sui Qingliu seems to be thinner than before. He got up and gestured to be seated, then walked over to the small bar, "I remember you liked lattes, didn't you?"

Sui Qingliu smiled gratefully: "I'm sorry, I almost rubbed someone else's car on the road just now, so I delayed a little time." I'm not late, am I?"

Jiang Ruli shook his head and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I don't care. Sui Qingliu stroked his hair and looked around Jiang Ruli's office: "Doctor Jiang, has your office been renovated, it feels different from before." ”

Jiang Ruli said mildly while brewing coffee, "A little change in the furnishings is not considered decoration." Speaking of which, you haven't dated me for almost two months, and I thought you didn't need me anymore. ”

"No. Sui Qingliu smiled bitterly, "I went to Hancheng for a vacation last week, because my son had to follow me to Hancheng for a walk, saying that he wanted to see his hometown." She hesitated, "I haven't had a nightmare in more than half a year, but I don't know why, it's started again recently." ”

"Are they still the same dreams as before?"

"Everything. It's a mess. ”

Jiang Ruli came over with coffee: "Drink coffee first, don't worry, I'll make an appointment with you today." ”

Sui Qingliu took the coffee and whispered a thank you, still a little listless.

Jiang Ruli didn't rush her, just went back to the computer desk and sat down. He habitually crossed his hands, propped them near his chin, and looked at Sui Qingliu level.

Sui Qingliu looked at the window and slowly sipped her latte, the warm coffee calming her down a little. She took a deep breath and said, "Doctor Jiang, do you remember when I told you about my brother?"

"I remember saying that he was beautiful, but he didn't like to be complimented on him the most. ”

Sui Qingliu said sadly: "A few days ago, I dreamed of him again. ”

"It's because you came back to Hancheng. ”

Sui Qingliu shook his head slightly: "I don't think so." ”

Jiang Ruli stared at her and asked, "What's the reason for that?"

Sui Qingliu hesitated for a moment, "I feel like he's blaming me." ”

"Blame you?"

"I dreamed of 2002......" Sui Qingliu's voice became smaller and lower, and her head became lower and lower.

Jiang Ruli whispered: "Was he five years old?"

Sui Qingliu nodded, and after a while, she slowly raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, "In my dream, I took Xiaojun to go shopping, just like back then." ”

Jiang Ruli frowned: "I remember you said that it was your husband who took your brother to go shopping back then." ”

Sui Qingliu's right hand unconsciously rubbed the coffee cup: "Yes, but I always feel that I should be there that day." ”

Jiang Ruli nodded: "Please continue." ”

Sui Qingliu sighed, in his dream, his younger brother Xiaojun was still so cute and as delicate as a porcelain doll. And she was still so careless, she went to the fitting room to change a dress, and when she came out, she couldn't find her brother. She searched everywhere like crazy, and finally saw Xiaojun, who was being held in the arms of a man whose face could not be seen clearly.

She rushed forward, trying to catch the man whose face he couldn't see clearly. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up with that person.

She was so angry and heartbroken that after a bout of vertigo she had to stop, lower her head, and gasp for air.

And when she looked up again, Xiaojun came to her again, and the person who couldn't see his face was gone.

Sui Qingliu was overjoyed, and she said to Xiaojun: "I'm looking for you so hard. ”

Xiaojun looked at her coldly, and his little face was covered with frost: "You didn't look for me." ”

"I have! I have to look for you! I look for you everywhere!" Sui Qingliu said anxiously.

Xiaojun shook his head firmly: "You didn't, you never looked for me." ”

"What's wrong with you, Xiao Jun?" Sui Qingliu suddenly noticed that Xiao Jun's face became more and more transparent, as if it was about to disappear into thin air.

She reached out in horror, only to find that her hand had penetrated Joon's face and had passed through his head.

Sui Qingliu was almost suffocated, she hugged Xiaojun like crazy, but she didn't hold anything, her arms were empty.

"Xiao Jun!" Sui Qingliu shouted heartbreakingly, and as she shouted, she looked around anxiously looking for Xiao Jun's figure.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this!" Xiao Jun suddenly appeared in front of her again. This time, his face was dirty, covered in mud and stains.

"Xiaojun!" Sui Qingliu burst into tears, "I'm sorry! It's my sister who is not good!" she stretched out her hand again, wanting to hug her brother.

But Xiaojun took a few steps back, "I don't want to see you again." ”

"Xiaojun! Xiaojun, don't go!" Sui Qingliu cried bitterly, and then she sat up suddenly.

The figure has dissipated. She looked at the golden curtains in the hotel room, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, everything just now was just a dream.

Jiang Ruli quietly listened to Sui Qingliu's confession, he didn't say a word, with warm worry in his eyes.

After Sui Qingliu finished talking about his dream, he leaned weakly on the sofa like a seriously ill patient, motionless.

"I think you're just hurt because you're back in the city where he used to live. You don't have to blame yourself too much, and you don't have to feel that he is blaming you for it. If you could see him again, it wouldn't be like that in your dreams. Jiang Ruli said.

Sui Qingliu let out a sigh, "Actually, there have been many similar dreams before, and I'm not surprised by the content of this dream. ”

"What surprised you?"

Sui Qingliu was silent for a while before he slowly said, "After I woke up from a dream, I fell asleep again. She met Jiang Ruli's gaze and plucked up her courage: "I dreamed of another person." ”

Jiang Ruli noticed Sui Qingliu's complicated expression: "You dreamed of someone you really didn't want to see, right?"

Sui Qingliu nodded lightly.

"Have you dreamed of this person before?"

"Nope. ”

"Have you met this person recently?"

"Nope. ”

"You don't like this guy?"

Sui Qingliu frowned, she blinked her eyes in disappointment, and then said, "It's not that I don't like it, I should say, I'm not familiar with it." ”

"You dreamed of someone you didn't know well, and then you were very unhappy?" Jiang Ruli stared at Sui Qingliu.

"Well, sort of, I never thought that after so many years, I would still dream of her. ”

"You haven't seen this person in years, haven't you?"

"Yes. ”

Jiang Ruli took out a pen from the pen holder and wrote something on the paper. Sui Qingliu sat silently, as if waiting for his question.

Jiang Ruli raised his eyes and looked at Sui Qingliu: "How did you know him?"

Sui Qingliu bit her lower lip, her expression was a little embarrassed: "Because of her son." ”

It was February 2003, and Sui Qingliu was still a doctor working in a prison hospital. Out of a sense of justice, she acceded to a request from a prisoner named Han Nuowei to take out a piece of amber that he had hidden in the county hospital where he had been imprisoned, which was perhaps an important piece of physical evidence.

Everything went well, the ward where Han Nuowei had lived was now empty, and Sui Qingliu easily found the piece of amber according to Han Nuowei's explanation and put it in his pocket.

"Doctor Qian!" Sui Qingliu was almost disillusioned by the voice behind her, and she turned around in horror to see a scrawny woman standing at the door. The woman's face was so thin that only a layer of skin remained, and her body was so thin that it looked like it would be blown down by the wind at any moment.

When she saw Sui Qingliu's face, the woman was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, doctor, I recognized the wrong person." She leaned on the door frame, "I look at your back and think you're Dr. Qian." ”

Before she could finish speaking, the woman coughed violently. She coughed so hard that she felt like she was going to cough out her lungs.

Sui Qingliu stayed where she was, realizing that the white dress she was wearing had been mistaken for hospital overalls, and told her that she should leave quickly, but her strong compassion made it impossible for her to sit idly by. She walked up quickly and asked, "What's wrong?"

The woman said weakly, "I have an itchy throat and want to drink water." ”

"Which ward are you from?"

“219。 ”

Sui Qingliu hesitated, but still stretched out his hand and helped her slowly walk to the door of 219.

Sui Qingliu glanced into the ward, there was no nurse inside, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then helped the skinny woman onto the hospital bed.

Sui Qingliu looked at the head of the bed, there was no kettle, and there was only a little cold water left in the cup. She suddenly felt sad: "You wait, I'll get you some hot water." ”

Sui Qingliu took the cup to the pantry to get some hot water, and then picked up the chopsticks on the bedside table and stirred it vigorously. She stirred and blew until the water temperature dropped a little, and then handed the cup to the woman.

Sui Qingliu saw the woman drinking water hungrily, and hurriedly said, "Slow down, don't burn." ”

After drinking the water, Sui Qingliu helped her cover the quilt again, and at this time, the woman whispered, "Doctor, let me ask you something?"

"You say. ”

"Have you seen my son?"

Sui Qingliu was shocked, she immediately sank her face, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

"The beeswax pendant you wear around your neck, that special knot that only my son and I can tie, I taught him. He's just learned, and he's not playing very well. ”

Sui Qingliu instinctively touched his neck, wanting to stuff the beeswax into his clothes.

The woman stared at her hand, "Doctor, can you tell me how he's doing?" ”

Sui Qingliu reached into his pocket and touched the piece of amber. She didn't know if she had been seen by the woman when she was looking for amber just now.

She felt a little breathless, and she wanted to say that she had been entrusted by her son, but she felt that she could not say a thousand words. On top of that, she's a doctor at a prison hospital, and now she's helping a convict who has already been sentenced to collect evidence, and she is at a loss with a strange sense of absurdity.

She stared blankly at the woman's thin, distorted face, and finally whispered, "He's trying." She swallowed back the word "alive", and she could not bear to say something irritating, for the woman's condition seemed so bad.

At this moment, there was a sound of talking from the stairs, and Sui Qingliu didn't care so much, and immediately flashed out of the room.

Jiang Ruli didn't interrupt her until he saw Sui Qingliu's coffee cup empty. He gestured for her to pause so he could refill her glass.

Sui Qingliu took a big sip of coffee before putting down the cup. Her fingers were crossed one by one, and the wedding ring on her left hand touched the adjacent finger, and at the same time, the green tendons on the back of her hand came out because of the exertion. Obviously, she was nervous.

She took a few deep breaths, then looked at Jiang Ruli's encouraging gaze and continued.

Sui Qingliu didn't know much about amber. In her opinion, the evidence taken out of the hospital was just an ordinary stone, but her husband, Yu Jingbo, apparently did not think so.

On the day she took the amber home, Yu Jingbo noticed. After Yu Jingbo understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, he played with amber for a long time, and then came to a conclusion: This may be a very rare type of amber.

But Sui Qingliu was not interested in whether amber was rare. She just wanted to hand over the amber to Han Nuowei as soon as possible, and then this matter had nothing to do with her.

Yu Jingbo didn't think so, he persuaded his wife to lend him the amber and send it to Zhao for appraisal, and after the appraisal was over, it would be returned to Zhao.

However, what Sui Qingliu didn't expect was that her husband lost the piece of amber during the identification process. This made her very difficult, and she didn't know how to face Han Nuowei, who was still looking forward to it in prison.

The more Sui Qingliu thought about it, the more worried she became, and she couldn't help but complain that her husband's carelessness had caused her trouble. And Yu Jingbo was more flexible in the end, and he quickly came up with an idea.

"Liu Liu, don't be angry, this matter is indeed my carelessness. Well, leave it to me, and I'll take care of it. ”

"How do you deal with it, you don't know Han Nuowei, and it's impossible to go to Yinyang Pass to interview him, right?"

"I don't talk to him, I talk to his mother. Yu Jingbo looked confident.

"What are you talking about with his mother?" Sui Qingliu said in alarm, "His mother may not have seen me take amber, don't mess around." ”

Or maybe she saw it, but she just deliberately didn't say it. "I think it's feasible to have a good talk with his mother." Listening to what you described, the prisoner had a good relationship with his parents, and it would have been much easier if I had his mother's forgiveness. ”

Sui Qingliu hesitated for a moment, "Are you sure to ask his mother to forgive you?" That piece of amber is a very important piece of evidence for Han Nuowei. ”

Yu Jingbo hugged her: "Don't worry, she will definitely forgive me." ”
