After narrowing down the scope again, Gu Tao really quickly found a female student who completely matched the identity of this Erya, but she was not called Erya, but Luo Huijuan. An extremely common and extremely common name.

Pulling out the student card, Gu Tao scanned it and left the school's archives, and then went straight to the Municipal Archives Bureau.

Because this Luo Huijuan's school card not only has his name but also some relevant information about his parents, even if her parents are no longer there, some content can still be found in the file, so as long as you follow this line, you will definitely be able to find relevant relatives.

In fact, logically speaking, since it is determined that this is Erya's hometown, then you can actually find a place to bury it, and the task will be completed, but Gu Tao did not do this, because he knows whether a place is a home or not, not to see if the city is called that name, but to see if there is still that person in the city.

A person buried in an empty city is no different from dying in a foreign land.

It was another round of painstaking searching, and finally found the name of Erya's father in the files of the deceased, and in the actual data, this person was born as a soldier, and came to this kind of city during the Liberation War and settled down.

After finding this information, Gu Tao's emotions for two days were finally relieved, and then the matter was left to follow the vine, through the particularity of his identity, he quickly found the unit of Erya's father, although many years have passed, but there are always a batch of descendants in this kind of unit, these people are all real clues, after some understanding that their family has returned to the Northeast in the 80s.

Without further ado, Gu Tao immediately booked a plane ticket, and took a red-eye flight to Erya's hometown of Harbin that night......

Opening the map at this moment, you can clearly see Gu Tao's path, he has traveled 3,000 kilometers from south to north for the jar in his hand. He was sitting on the steps outside the airport eating a hamburger, still holding the can in his hand, and he was going to rest there in two hours before dawn.

The sense of ceremony, the sense of ritual is nothing more than tossing oneself to achieve something that you don't usually do, and now this thing is a very romantic thing for Gu Tao, and it is full of a sense of ritual and achievement.

"Look, if there is no accident, I will be able to find your family tomorrow, and burying you next to your parents can be regarded as another kind of family reunion." Gu Tao patted the porcelain jar and said with a smile: "It's a pity, I can't see your expression, but I think you should be happy." ”

The morning in late spring in Harbin is still a little cold, and many taxi drivers don't want to pick up his customers when they see the jar Gu Tao is holding, for fear of bad luck. In the end, he found an old man who rode three jumpers, sat with a cart of potatoes, and entered the city.

"What are you doing?"

"Send people home." Gu Tao heard the old man's question, and patted the jar with a smile: "She has been looking forward to going home for almost sixty years." ”

"The old man at home?"

"No, stranger."

After asking and answering back and forth, Gu Tao had already entered the city, and after entering the city, he didn't have time to rest, so he quickly took Erya to the town where his family moved in.

Although the clue is broken when he arrives here, it doesn't matter, because the era is getting closer and closer, and it can even be said that it is within reach, and he can query everything he wants as long as he enters the local household registration system.

"Comrade, do me a favor."

Gu Tao entered the police station and said that he was coming, the police station in the town immediately became lively, and even the director came over in person, when they began to inquire about the relevant information, Gu Tao sat in their office drinking tea and telling the story of the girl in his arms, and some soft-hearted policewomen shed tears under Gu Tao's very detailed narration.

"I went to WH before, found information about her family, and then followed the clues all the way here, I felt that I couldn't leave a girl alone thousands of kilometers away." Gu Tao ate a biscuit handed by a female comrade, took a sip of hot tea, and let out a long breath: "When I get here, I feel at ease, no matter what, I promised to send her the last ride, and now I can finally fulfill it." ”

"Promise her?"

A policeman cautiously asked, "...... she?"

Gu Tao smiled and waved his hand: "Some things are hard to explain, but I just promised her, and I promised for many years." ”

The others immediately shut up, they shouldn't have believed in these things because of their work, but in this era, superpowers are flying all over the sky, and they still have an impact on some things, although theoretically the theory of ghosts and gods should not be believed, but ...... Let's all be respectful in silence.

Soon, a police officer in charge of household registration walked in and said excitedly: "I found it, Luo Haisheng's descendant!" ”

Luo Haisheng is Luo Huijuan's eldest brother, and he is also the source of the name Erya. He died in 2005. But his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and little sister are all still alive. ”

And that little sister is called Luo Huiqing, born in 1954, although she is now in her sixties and almost seventy years old, her body is still strong, she was a doctor in the town hospital before retirement, and everyone respectfully calls her Doctor Luo or Aunt Luo.

Under the leadership of the policeman's uncle, Gu Tao came to the outside of a small courtyard, where Ah Huang was tethered, and a girl about ten years old was squatting next to Ah Huang who was knitting a necklace for it.

When Gu Tao saw this girl, he took a step back coldly, for no other reason...... It's just because this girl is almost the same as the Luo Huijuan restoration picture he made the night before, but the girls are more youthful now, and their facial features are not fully opened.

Rhubarb began to bark, and the girl patted it on the head: "Don't bark Rhubarb!" ”

Sure enough, it was called rhubarb, Gu Tao laughed.

The policeman who led the way in front leaned on the wall and asked, "Erya, is your grandmother at home?" ”

"! Someone is looking for it. ”

Gu Tao looked at this girl with a smile, she was also called Erya. No wonder after so many years, that Erya has not disappeared, it turns out that she is thousands of kilometers away, and there are still people who remember her.

After a while, an old man with silver hair staggered out, she was on crutches, it seemed that her legs and feet were inconvenient, but her expression was serene, she slowly walked to the side of the yard and opened the small iron door: "Come on, come on, Xiaohu come in and sit, what's wrong?" ”

The film policeman Xiaohu turned sideways and pointed at Gu Tao: "This gentleman said that he came to find your father's family, so I brought him over." ”

"My father? He died in 1980. ”

Gu Tao smiled and nodded, and then walked straight into the yard, and when he saw the jar he was holding, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Gu Tao suspiciously.

"Old lady, I was entrusted to take her home." Gu Tao lifted the red cloth on the jar: "Erya, Luo Huijuan." ”

The moment he heard the name, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then took a few steps back in disbelief, and the film policeman Xiaohu hurriedly went up to support the old man, and the little girl also quickly moved a small stool for grandma to sit on.

Gu Tao put the jar in front of the old man: "It's been almost sixty years, this is a family reunion." ”

"My sister ......" The old man's tears welled up at that time, and she picked up the jar: "My sister is back......"

"Why don't you check it?" Gu Tao asked cautiously, "What if not?" ”

The old man shook his head vigorously, his eyes staring directly at Gu Tao's back: "No, I saw my sister...... I saw ......"

Gu Tao smiled: "My task is complete." ”

"Young man...... My sister ...... How did he die? ”

Gu Tao thought about it and said with a smile: "Sick, died in his sixties." ”

"Then why didn't she come back to us...... Why won't she come back......"

"Because of the ten years of turmoil, she was injured and her memory was a little confused. But...... Finally got home. Okay, I won't bother. ”

Refusing the old man's request to keep him at home for dinner, Gu Tao turned around and left, because he didn't know how to get this matter back, whether she had any offspring, how she had been over the years, as long as she was a person with a heart, she would be aware of the lie.

And at the last moment of leaving, Gu Tao glanced back at the old lady in the small courtyard who was holding the jar and whispering, and ...... The old lady's side was waving goodbye to Luo Huijuan in an earthy gray shirt.

She is no longer just a dark shadow, but has her own posture, her own appearance, her smile is clean and bright, just like the sixteen-year-old girl in the spring flowers.

Gu Tao raised his hand, waved at her, and then stretched out with his hands in his pockets: "Go home!" ”

There is nothing vigorous, there is nothing sensational, it is always said that hometown can give people special strength, but the real power is probably the wind from the hometown, the clouds from the hometown and the people from the hometown. How she changed from a shadow to a brightly colored light, Gu Tao didn't want to study anymore, he didn't need to study everything, and it was okay to maintain a little idealistic beauty.

Before he was about to leave the city, it was raining in the sky, and he was carrying a bag of red sausages, eating as he went, and then suddenly two girls shoved an umbrella into his hand, and they shared an umbrella and ran away.

Gu Tao glanced back at the two girls, then at the umbrella in his hand and at the rain in the sky, probably...... That's how good people are rewarded.

One of three things, about commitment. He put it first, and now that his promise has been fulfilled, he can actually feel an incomparable sense of accomplishment, which is even comparable to the highlight moments of his life when he became a father for the first time, and the first time he pulled up the banner of the base, and got a full score in the first exam, although the reward is just an umbrella, but ...... Isn't that enough?

Today is the last day of October, and I want to take a break...... Just one more chapter.
