Chapter 165: A guest comes from afar, leaving me behind

Not long after the New Year, documents came out of the bureau! Xiao Wu and Jian Rou will be transferred to other departments.

This is a self-evident precursor, and if there is no breakthrough, the bureau may be administratively abolished altogether.

Xiao Wu and Jian Rou, who received the order, did not raise the slightest objection, in fact, they could no longer stick to this empty office. Ling Juan was in the research institute, Fang Wuying returned to his previous unit, and the others ...... He still can't come back.

Jian Rou left first, and before leaving, she told Xiao Wu that she wanted to take all the things in Lei Jun's office home.

Xiao Wu agreed to her request.

Then at this moment, in this huge office, only Xiao Wu was left.

Chapter 165 The Guest Comes from Far Away, Leaving Me Behind His mission is not over yet, before leaving. He had to count the equipment, guard the supplies, and deal with the unfinished business one by one.

In those days, Xiao Wu always opened the office door alone, and then locked the iron door alone in the evening.

He still remembered the scene when he first came to this place a few years ago, and that day, he walked up to this building with his files and miscellaneous belongings, and with a worried heart. Then he saw Su Hong and Lei Jun who greeted him.

"Welcome to the vault where layoffs are not possible." Xiao Wu still remembered that Lei Jun introduced it with a smile at that time, and on the other hand, Su Hong pointed out his table to him: "It's very close to the water dispenser, and there will be no western sun." ”

However, these two people are now gone.

He looked at the empty office with infinite sadness, and the past events he had experienced were reflected in front of his eyes.

But right now, he doesn't have time to sit here alone and feel nostalgic, today is the last day, and the last task awaits him: cleaning the PO Box.

For a long time, the bureau had their special mailbox to collect Chapter 165 guests from afar, leaving me with letters or newspapers and magazines, but now because of the merger of departments. The mailbox downstairs will be demolished, and the vacant lot will be repurposed, and they will use the unified mailbox in the area, with the new mailbox located on the west side of the office building. It's a little bit away from here.

Xiao Wu went downstairs and walked to the old mailbox, he had all the spare keys he had just gotten. He will open all the mailboxes and transfer the contents to the person who claims them, and he will keep them for the time being if they are unclaimed.

The first mailbox he opened was Lei Jun's.

There are two advertising bulletins for car companies in it. A notice from the university reunion, and a consultation letter from Midea electrical appliance users.

On the cover of each envelope, it is written that "Mr. Lei Jun" receives.

Xiao Wu silently packed the letters in a leather bag, then wound the threads, ready to hand them over to Jian Rou at any time. It is unlikely that they will be seen by Lei Jun for the time being, unless these letters can be sent to the Sui Dynasty a thousand years ago.

The second mailbox is Su Hong's.

Inside is a trial pack of Meiyinado cosmetics, a peony card consumption list of ICBC, a D beauty magazine, and a private letter, with Su Hong's name written on the cover, the font is juanxiu, and the sender's address is Hangzhou.

Maybe it was a letter from a classmate, Xiao Wu thought, the other party didn't know that Su Hong had an accident.

He put these things into another cowhide bag, and tomorrow they will be handed over to Fang Wuying.

The third mailbox is Wei Bin's, Xiao Wu can't contact Wei Bin in the past two days, so he plans to take out the contents first, help Wei Bin keep them, and then return them to the other party after he returns to China.

The key gently twisted open the mailbox, and all the letters inside poured out!

Xiao Wu was taken aback! He didn't expect that there would be so many letters in Wei Bin's mailbox!

Squatting on the ground, Xiao Wu picked up all the letters, and he roughly counted them, there were more than thirty in total.

However, when his gaze fell on the envelope, Xiao Wu was stunned!

The recipient on the envelope was not Wei Bin's name, but another person he was familiar with: Lin Lan.

In his mind, the emaciated and beautiful female face immediately came to mind......

Xiao Wu was a little confused, why did the letter he wrote to Lin Lan appear in Wei Bin's mailbox?

I took a closer look at the letters, and the letters were 1 small and α

, suddenly. Something flashed in Xiao Wu's mind!

All of these letters were sent abroad, mostly from the United States, and a few from Europe and the Middle East.

And that handwriting, Xiao Wu recognized it very clearly. It was Wei Bin's handwriting.

This is a letter written by Wei Bin to Lin Lan......

But he didn't send them to Lin Lan, but sent them all back to his mailbox in China.

There was some sour emotion, and it jumped lightly on Xiao Wu's chest, and he sighed silently.

He thought, he already understood what was going on.

received a call from Xiao Wu when Lin Lan had just returned home from work.

She had just dropped off the babysitter when the child was grabbing her trouser legs, babbling and calling for her mother, and then the phone rang.

Xiao Wu introduced himself at the beginning, he said that he was from the bureau.

Lin Lan let out a soft "ah".

"I'm embarrassed to call rashly. But......" Xiao Wu paused, "there is something I have to tell Miss Lin." ”

Lin Lan was stunned for a moment, she slowly sat down on the sofa, and hugged the child with her other hand: "Excuse me, what's the matter?" ”

"There are some things that should be handed back to you. I think, when are you free......"

Lin Lan's heart suddenly jumped wildly!

"Yes...... What is it? ”

"It's some letters."

"Uh, for me?" Lin Lan was even more surprised, "Who wrote it?" ”

Xiao Wu paused over there, "Let's meet and talk again, okay?" Are you free tonight? I sent them over. ”

Lin Lan was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home." ”

Two hours later, Xiao Wu came to Lin Lan's house.

"Please come in." Lin Lan smiled and let Xiao Wu in, she still remembered Xiao Wu.

"The house hasn't had time to be cleaned yet, so it doesn't look very good."

"Nope. I was in a hurry, and I'm sorry. ”

Xiao Wu wanted to say something, but at this time, he saw the boy sitting on the floor playing in the living room.

It was a one- or two-year-old boy, chubby, wearing denim bib pants, and he was shoving an orange into his mouth, and there were traces of saliva on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Wu's gaze fell on the boy's face.

"Suddenly, come, call uncle." Lin Lan bent down to pick up the little boy and shook his little hand at Xiao Wu, the child babbled, pouted, and couldn't hear what he was shouting.

"Do you already know how to speak?" Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"Not yet, mom can shout, but it's a little difficult for anything else." Lin Lan smiled and looked at the child again, "You've worked hard, isn't it?" ”

In front of the living, the little boy giggled as if he was shy, put his arms around his mother's neck, and hid his little face on his mother's chest.

"What's your name?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Suddenly." Lin Lan said, "Xin Xuanran. ”

Xiao Wu's heart moved slightly.

Age and experience have not yet left a unique mark on that immature face, it only shows what it has just inherited. Except for Lin Lan's pale complexion and slightly curly black hair, the boy's face shows well the features of his biological father's face: bright eyes, shaped eyebrows, thick eyebrows, and a straight nose.

This is the man who has long disappeared in the long river of history, the man of the Southern Song Dynasty who has been here in modern times for more than five months, although his life has passed for thousands of years, but the child he left behind is a silent and powerful proof of his father's brief visit.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu felt more and more that the bag in his hand was heavier.

"You're here to ......"

Xiao Wu lowered his head, opened the bag, and took out a letter from it: "Actually, I just want to give this to Miss Lin." ”

Lin Lan put down the child, and she took the letter in surprise: "This is all for me?!" ”

"Yes, thirty-seven in all." Xiao Wu said.

"But whose ...... is this?"

"It's Wei Bin." Xiao Wu said, "He sent it from abroad." ”

What's there, it hit Lin Lan's heart hard!

"It's a complicated process." Xiao Wu paused, "If it weren't for something that happened to our bureau recently......

"Something's wrong?" Lin Lan was shocked! "No wonder I can't contact Su Hong, what's wrong with her? - Ahh You sit down and talk slowly, I'll pour you tea! ”

Then, in the living room of Lin Lan's house, Xiao Wu briefly told Lin Lan about the recent events in the bureau. Lin Lan listened silently, and there were tears in her eyes.

“…… So, Su Hong has been missing for more than a year? She whispered, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers.

Xiao Wu nodded: "The bureau is now planning to merge with other departments. That's why I'm going to sort out the mailbox downstairs. ”

Lin Lan didn't speak, her gaze returned to the stack of letters on the table again.

“…… I don't know about Xiaowei and you, uh. I don't know anything about anything between you. Xiao Wu said a little embarrassed, "But these letters." Maybe it says something. ”

Lin Lan remained silent, but her fingers. Gently stroking the letters.

"Originally, this was a lot of things for me, and I should only be responsible for keeping my colleagues' letters. But......" Xiao Wu paused and continued, "but I still feel the need to give them to you, after all, you are the recipient above." ”

“…… Is he still abroad? Lin Lan asked softly.

Xiao Wu nodded: "Yes." Maybe when he comes back, he'll accuse me of being too nosy. Not. When the time comes, let that kid scold. ”

He said, smiling.

While they were talking, the child was already asleep in the cradle next to him. Looking at the boy in his sleep, Xiao Wu suddenly said, "Perhaps, Xiao Wei also wants to meet this child, after all...... This is also a life that he desperately protected from the Golden Soldier Camp. ”

Xiao Wu's voice was very soft, and Lin Lan listened to it in her ears, and she swelled with infinite emotion.

That night, seeing off the guests, Lin Lan returned to the living room.

She looked at those letters one by one, and the complicated mood of the past came up again.

She pulled out one, and the envelope was pale red. Fine linen paper with silky stripes. She opened the letter with a letter opener.

There was a tall handwriting on the letterhead, which she had never seen before, and the head of the row on it read: Lin Lan.

Lin Lan:

How are you?

I have returned from Jerusalem.

It was a night voyage that returned with the stars, and I have seen such a description: the sky looks like it looks out from the bottom of a broken pot. The stars are constantly twinkling. This sentence was written by a Vietnam veteran, and who said that occasional talent can't bloom from an ordinary life?

By the way, the last photo I sent you was taken in the Negev Desert, where you can see the huge faults in the moonlight, and the rocky world.

It was a beautiful place, with a vast moonlight and a long sky.

The desert at night often reminds me of my enemies. The Huns, who are said to have spent dozens of cold winters outside the Qilian Mountains, were all terrified, and every night they gathered around the bonfire, singing in mournful tunes about the beautiful paradise that the lost land no longer belonged to them......

It was a paradise that was taken away by my horse's hooves.

I don't hate them anymore, and if I could, I would like to hear it with my own ears and even sing it with them.

Because now I am also a person who has lost my homeland.

On the way back, we did not encounter a hijacking, and Alvin deeply regretted that he had developed a false belief that if you were with me, you would be in danger. I think he's a detective who has seen too much.

I hope you don't have this ridiculous delusion as well, in fact, if I don't give you security, I'm nothing.

You okay? And also...... What about children? Is he, or she, okay?

Is he cute?

Lin Lan, I still miss you very much, after more than a year, when I think back to your face, it is as clear as if we just separated yesterday.

No matter how much you don't want to see it, I'm still here, writing down your letters, and they can't even be called love letters, because I don't even know how to say what I think.

Maybe the truth is, you will always love him. This love will also consume your life, but that's okay. Because I secretly speculate that there should be a small area in your soft heart that belongs to me, after all, mobile phone access:., human hearts cannot have only one room.

Maybe it's just a very, very small piece of space, like the ratio of a living room to a storage room compared to the place given to him. But I knew I couldn't have asked for more.

That's enough, because I didn't ask for much.

Just like an albatross that can't leap over a certain latitude under any circumstances, I know that I also have latitudes that I shouldn't overtake.

But as long as you can keep this little space, as long as you remember me, then I will be able to sleep peacefully.

That night, Lin Lan couldn't sleep no matter what, everything in the past was like an automatic projector. Repeatedly appeared in front of her eyes. Her heart is full of irreparable sorrow and desolation.

Like the tide of the sea, it repeatedly slammed into the empty sandy shore. !!
