Chapter 097: Letter from a Mysterious Woman (Third Watch)
Bai Erniang fried a few side dishes casually, and then burned a few dishes, a large table full of them, which was regarded as a pick-up for He Cheng, who looked at the dishes on the table and thought that there were others coming back, but he didn't expect that even Bai Erniang would be the four of them when eating.

He regret was already not strong enough to drink, and he fainted after drinking a nod, Bai Erniang saw him like that and helped him into the house to sleep, He Siliu and He Shuntian were still arguing about something while drinking.
When He regretted the next day, the sun had risen high, and when he brushed his teeth, Bai Erniang told him that He Shuntian went back to Nanjing last night, and He regret was somewhat surprised, why didn't he say hello to himself when he left?
He regret originally wanted to tell He Siliu about what happened in his hometown a few days ago, He Dalu definitely has a problem, He Siliu is well-informed, and may be able to tell the reason, but He regret waited all morning and didn't see He Siliu come back.
In the afternoon, when he was bored, he took a taxi to the shop to see, the shop was as cold and deserted as in the past, there was no business, He regretted playing a few games of chess with the monkey and took a taxi back.
He regret didn't see He Siliu for two days, and asked Bai Erniang, she also said that she didn't know, He regret could only hold the questions in his heart.
In the next few days, He Siliu still didn't come back, called him, he always said that he was busy, although He regret didn't know what he was busy with, but he could vaguely guess that He Siliu was busy recently should be related to Wei Wen on the white paper.
Bai Erniang is usually busy, except for a few employees, he is the only one left in the family, so most of the time He regrets prefer to stay in the shop, read books, play chess, brag with monkeys, and occasionally take a few small businesses, and life is quite comfortable.
However, this comfort did not last long before it was broken, and that day He Cheng had just returned from the shop, Bai Erniang handed He Cheng a letter, saying that it was sent by the postman in the morning.
He Cheng took the letter in Bai Erniang's hand with a puzzled face, although writing a letter was still one of the mainstream contact methods at that time, but he knew that He Siliu's address here was still written to himself, who would this person be? Classmates, it's definitely impossible, I only told my classmates that I was in Taiyuan, and I didn't say the address at all.
He Cheng took the envelope and turned around and returned to his room, opened it gently, and then pulled out the letter paper inside, the letter paper was already a little yellowed, it looked like it had been a long time, He Cheng spread out the letter paper strangely, and there were only a few words on it: "He regret: Please gather at the Seventh Military Region Hospital of Yanji City on the fourth day of September 199, and be sure to come alone." "The cashier did not write who the sender was.
He regret couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, who wrote this, what is the place of this Seventh Military Region Hospital, He regret was confused, and inadvertently He regret looked at the postmark on the envelope, September 18, 1983, He regret's eyelids jumped, eighty-three years, how old was he at that time, could it be a mistake, He regret looked at the envelope back and forth, the handwriting on it in many places has been blurred, it seems that it is indeed some years, the time should not be bad, but how did this letter be sent here, at that time the uncle had just settled in Taiyuan, This villa was not built at the time, what is going on? Why is the recipient's name his own, why regret is incomprehensible.
He regret glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall, today happens to be October 8, 1999, the twenty-ninth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, that is to say, it is only a few days away from the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, to go or not to go, leaving too little time for He Cheng to consider, looking at the letter in his hand that spans more than ten years, He regret felt a little at a loss, he called He Siliu, turned off the phone, He regret closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally decided to go and see it himself, anyway, he is not a child anymore, and he is afraid that he will be sold.
Besides, speaking of Yanji City, He Cheng is no stranger, I went to college a few times, but I used to pass where, his classmate named Pei Zhiyong is from the local countryside, and now Pei Zhiyong seems to be working in Yanji City, He Cheng found Pei Zhiyong's phone number through his classmates, He Cheng and he talked nonsense and said that he would go over to play tomorrow, Pei Zhiyong is also an authentic Northeast hospitable man, I heard that He Cheng is going, and I am very happy, after all, they used to be in the same dormitory, and they lived together for four years, To say that there is no emotion is definitely false.
Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, He regretted that he was a little embarrassed, after all, the main purpose of his trip this time was not to find Pei Zhiyong, and the two exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone.
"Erniang, tomorrow I'm going to Yanji in the Northeast, my classmate is there, and he let a few of us from the previous dormitory go over to play." When He regretted having dinner, he said to Bai Erniang that he didn't tell Bai Erniang the content of the letter, he felt that it was useless to tell Bai Erniang about some things, and after thinking about it, he decided not to tell Bai Erniang.
"I see that the words on the letter are quite beautiful, was it written by a female classmate, well, you are not too young, it's time to find a girlfriend." Bai Erniang sandwiched a dish for He Cheng and said with a playful smile, and He Cheng's face turned red when he saw it.
He regret knew that Bai Erniang had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained that it was a male classmate, but the more he described, the darker it became, and He regret simply didn't say anything in the end, and let Bai Erniang guess.
Early the next morning, He regretted taking the car to Yanji, and changed cars several times along the way, and when he arrived in Yanji, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, compared to the autumn tiger in Taiyuan, the weather in the northeast has become significantly cooler, He regret got out of the car and was shivering from the cold, but fortunately, Pei Zhiyong carefully brought a thick dress to He Cheng in advance.
After getting off the train, Pei Zhiyong took He Cheng to a hot pot restaurant not far from the train station, the waiters in the store were wearing Korean costumes, He Cheng remembered that Yanji is the capital of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, and the two of them drank soju in the northeast while Kan Dashan in the north and south, He Cheng had nothing to hide from Pei Zhiyong, after all, he was not familiar with Yanji, and he didn't know where the Seventh Military Region Hospital was. He said he hadn't heard of this place, so he would ask someone tomorrow.
He regret didn't expect that even Pei Zhiyong, a local, had never heard of this place, and he could only wait for him to find someone to ask tomorrow, the two chatted again, and through chatting He regret knew that Pei Zhiyong was now working in the local library, sorting out some classics, and it didn't have much to do with the major he studied in college.
When he woke up the next day, Pei Zhiyong had already gone to work, and there was a note on the table, and He regretted washing his face and walked towards the street.
