Chapter 19: Package III.

If we are destined to die in Lop Nur, then I have been deceived.

Perhaps, my heart rate is normal, and the machine is malfunctioning.

Perhaps, the mysterious man with a heart rate of 600 beats did not appear in Lop Nur at all, and that was just fake news.

If this is the case, who created these coincidences?

"What are you thinking?" ”

I said, "I didn't think about anything." ”

She said, "Go on?" Or return? ”

I said, "We have been preparing for a whole month, and some people have driven for three days to get to Korla, and now, we have been running for another two days before entering Lop Nur, and it is impossible to return easily." ”

"You don't trust my instincts," she said. ”

I said, "If you think about it from another angle, Chinese characters are made up of horizontal and vertical skimming, and if you are more realistic, it will be difficult for you to find the strokes in the name of a certain person." ”

She said, "Well, if you're not afraid, I'm not afraid." ”

When I say this, my heart feels like a stone has been crushed.

How can there be so many coincidences?

Is it normal?

I turned off the emergency lights, and the tent fell into darkness, and I said, "Sleep." ”

She said, "Do you like to undress in the dark?" ”

I said, "For your convenience." ”

She smiled and said, "I sleep with my clothes on." ”

I said, "Me too." ”

Then I heard her squirt into her sleeping bag.

I'm tempted to ask, "Do you have anything to do with Carey?" ”

After all, I didn't ask.

Sweet ×××× said in a private message that she sent me another gift, which was almost all of her hard work - what could it be?

My heart shook a little.

Soon, she sent a new private message: Brother, if you don't accept this gift, I will die...... It's really going to die!

My heart had just shaken and immediately became as hard as iron. "I'm going to die", it was this phrase that angered me. She was threatening me. Whatever her purpose, she was threatening me.

She...... Are you threatening me?

I didn't know this girl well, I hadn't even met her, I didn't know her personality at all. Judging from her behavior of constantly sending things, a certain string of her brain is abnormal. If I don't accept this gift, will she really die? I'm not sure.

Sure enough, the property management company called me again, and the staff was a woman, and every time she called me, her tone was a little weird: "Mr. Zhou, you are here again." ”

I said, "Okay, I'll pick it up right away, thanks." ”

I got the parcel slip from the property company and drove directly to the post office on the small street, I thought it would be a bigger box this time, wrong, just a small package.

I tossed up, it was light, almost a diary or something.

After I opened it, I was dumbfounded—it was a real estate certificate and a bunch of keys, and my name was written on the owner column of the real estate certificate: Zhou Dedong.

The address is 302, Unit 3, Building 3, Kaili Qingshui Community.

Sandwiched in the title deed is a light blue letterhead with her delicate font on it:

Dear brother, don't scold me. Here's my handpicked gift for you – don't you love water? Don't you like places with water? This community is right on the banks of the Qingshui River and is very beautiful. You live here to write, and you must be in the flow of ideas! I hope to see that river in your work in the future, okay?

I was stunned.

This gift is too big. Unless her family is extremely rich, she must have spent all her savings to buy this house on her own!

I'm confused, I'm just an author-reader relationship with her, why would she buy me a house? Even if she were my lover, I would never have lived in a house that a woman had bought me.

There's a lot I don't understand - my name is written on the title deed, so you have to have my ID. I'm not a minor, and she's not my guardian, so even then, she needs to take me to the scene and show her household registration book. How did she do it?

Now, she's not going to change my home, she's going to change my home!

I pulled out my phone and dialed her directly.

"Hey, Sweetie."

"Brother......" She seemed a little timid.

"I received the gift, I want to ask you, you don't have my ID card, how can you buy me a house?"

"Brother, you are so naïve! If you take a closer look, it's just a fake real estate certificate that I made based on the real real estate deed! It means that the house is bought for you, and when you move in, we will go through the transfer procedures, okay? ”

I looked at the title deed, and it was a fake, but it was more gorgeous and beautiful than the real one.

I whispered, "Xiao Tian, do you think I'll want it?" ”

Her mood immediately lowered, and she said, "Brother, it's all my hard work, and I gave it to you with great reverence, can you bear to spill it?" ”

I was furious: "I chose to settle in Lancheng after I turned 30 because I like this city!" I'm going to die of old age here! Why do you want me to move from the northwest to the southwest? What right do you have to change my life? ”

She resignedly said, "But brother, you said you like water......"

I said, "It doesn't matter to you what I like!" I won't want your house, you can do whatever you want! Thanks, I'm hanging! ”

She said, "Brother...... If you don't want it, it'll be empty for the rest of your life......"

I said, "That's your house, that's your business, bye!" ”

I hung up the phone.

I haven't been on Weibo for many days.

That night, Tian ×××× sent a text message: Brother, I am now in Qingqingshui Community, standing downstairs in the third building to watch. Your window is dark all the time, and I know you haven't moved in yet, I'm so disappointed......

I turned off my phone.

Early in the morning two days later, as soon as I turned on the phone, the property company called: "Mr. Zhou, I have a package list from you." ”

There's no way I'm going to get it anymore.

On the evening of the third day, Tian ×××× sent a text message again: Brother, I came to Qingqingshui Community again, your window is still dark, do you understand my current mood? So empty, so cold......

On the morning of the fifth day, the property company called again: "Mr. Zhou, you have another parcel list." ”

I still don't get it.

On the evening of the 7th day, Tian ×××× sent a text message again: Brother, I am at the door of your house in Qingqingshui Community, I know that you are not there, but I always feel that you are sitting in it typing. I knocked on the door for a long time, but you never appeared...... I cried. Good brother!

On the afternoon of the 11th day, the property management company called again: "Mr. Zhou, you already have three parcel orders, can you please come and get them?" ”

On the afternoon of the 12th day, Tian×××× sent a text message again: Brother, I am coming to Qingqingshui Community again! During the day, I see that your window is the same as someone else's window, so it's good, I'll just be in it! I will never come at night again, when I see that the windows of other people's houses are all lit and only yours is dark, you know how sad I am! Good brother, when exactly will you move into this house? I'm in a hurry!!

On the 16th day, the property company called again: "Mr. Zhou, you have another parcel list." ”

On the evening of the 17th day, Sweet ×××× sent another text message: Brother, I'm coming to Qingqingshui Community again, please forgive my sister for opening your door with a spare key - I swear, I just turned on the light and came out! I didn't touch anything but the light switch! Now I'm standing downstairs and looking at your window with the lights on, and I'm so much better!

On the 22nd day, the property company called again: "Mr. Zhou, you have another parcel list!" There are a lot of your parcels here, you can pick them up, or we will send them to your home! ……”

In the evening, my phone rang, and it was the sweet ×××× calling.

I don't answer.

She kept calling, and I never answered.

Finally, she sent a text message: Brother, I came to Qingqingshui Community tonight and saw that the lights of 302 were out, are you inside?

I didn't reply to her.

The next day, the property company called again: "Mr. Zhou, you have another parcel list today." When are you going to get it? ”

I lied and said, "Wait a minute, I'm out of town on a business trip." ”

In the evening, Sweet ×××× called again.

I still won't answer.

I was running away from trouble like a child. I'm desperately trying to protect my "quiet space", which is actually just sand for the ostrich to bury its head.

The phone kept ringing.

The more I listened, the more upset I became, and the extreme upset turned into anger, and the extreme anger turned into uneasiness, and the extreme anxiety turned into fear, and the extreme fear turned into anger......

I picked up the phone when I was angry.

"Brother......" came her weak voice.

"What do you want to do?" I asked word for word.

"The gift I sent you...... Have you received them all? ”

"We don't recognize it, and I won't ask for any more gifts from you! Please respect yourself! ”

"Brother, I'...... Not self-respecting? ”

"What the hell do you mean? You've interfered with my life! ”

"Brother, I just want to ask, what do you really want me to do?"

"I just hope you don't send me any more gifts, don't write more private messages, and don't call again!"

"I'm a Capricorn, brother! I just wish you could give me this little right......"

"You go to die!"

I hung up the phone with a snap and turned it off.

I had insomnia that night. I kind of regret saying that last sentence.

Next, I went to my hometown in the Northeast for a month.

I'm a free man, I haven't turned on my phone for a month, and I haven't been on the Internet once during that time, and my life has become quiet. I know that the parcel slip will be returned to the sender after a month.

Back in Lancheng, I logged on to Weibo, I thought I would receive a lot of private messages from ××××, as I expected, among the hundreds of private messages, none of them were hers!

It seems that she gave up completely.

It seems that my last sentence broke her heart hard.

Although I went a little too far, I got my old life back after all.

There was a knock on the door.

I looked out of the cat's eye and saw that it was the woman from the property management company.

I opened the door and saw her holding a stack of parcel slips in her hand, and she said, "Mr. Zhou, I have been to your house four or five times, but you are not there, and you have not come to pick up these parcels, and they have expired." But yesterday I received another waybill...... To give. ”

I took it and said, "Thanks, trouble." ”

After the property company left, I looked at the waybill in my hand, and she sent it again. In the column of the name of the goods, I saw a scribbled word - I.

I?

I pondered for a moment, and my hair stood on end.

What do you mean?

I'm going to get this thing back anyway, and I'm going to be restless day and night not seeing what she sent!

The cargo terminal is in the southern suburbs of Lancheng. I drove there, went through all the formalities, and handed the waybill to a staff member in charge of picking up the goods. She was a little girl, and she went into the room, and after a while she poked her head out again, and said to a young man, "Little Gong, come and do me a favor." ”

And the lad passed. After about 3 minutes, the two of them dragged out a large wooden box that looked heavy.

They gave it to me and went back to work. There were long queues of people waiting to pick up their goods.

I looked down at the long wooden box, and suddenly felt a chill on my body, and inexplicably remembered the last thing I said to the sweet ××××: "You go to die!" ”

I can't open it here, I'm going to pull it home.

I looked around with a wrypat and no one paid attention to me, so I stooped down and picked up the wooden box, staggered back to the front of the car, and stuffed it into the trunk, the lid could not be closed, and half poked out.

I didn't go home, I drove to the river in the suburbs. I once brought the critic Han Haoyue and his wife here to make a barbecue.

It's winter, the river is frozen, and there's not a single person on either side.

I took the wooden box down, then took the tools out of the car and pried it open.

It's full of fine scraps of paper, and I don't know what's buried in the scraps. There was a light blue envelope on the top, and I opened it and saw the handwriting of the sweet ××××:

Brother:

I asked you, what do you want me to be? You say, let me die...... Is that really the case? Whatever you want me to be, as long as you're happy!

This is the last time I will send you a gift in this life, and the gift is mine, and you must accept it. Now, if you peel off the scraps of paper, you'll see me. The letter was written before I died, and the aftermath will be completed for me by one of my most secret friends. Brother, will you be happy like this? Really, I just want you to be happy!

I looked down at the white confetti in the wooden box, reached out, and retracted it again.

Looking up at the river, the sun pierced my eyes on the ice. I didn't know what to do next, so I sat on the ground in a daze, thought about the pile of confetti, thought about it, and finally said in a low voice: "I hope that when I go back to my home and go on Weibo in a while, I can still see the private messages you wrote to me, and I can still receive your parcel list, and I can also receive your phone calls...... Can you? ”

I said tears streaming down my face.

After the publication of "The Package", readers asked me from various sources: What happened later?

Actually, I didn't receive the body of the sweet ××××, it was full of confetti.
