The rain in late autumn drifts down with coolness on the fallen leaves.

In the backyard of Taibaiju Restaurant at the northeast corner of the intersection of Shengjing Street and Qingeng Road, two pomegranate trees are swaying in the wind and rain, one is holding the remaining brown leaves, like the wings of a bird, and the other has no leaves, and there is a pomegranate fruit hanging at the top that no one picks, as if it may fall at any time.

Qiu Zikun is now in front of the window on the second floor, looking at the pomegranate tree blankly, his heart is inexplicably rippling, he is sorry for Cheng Gongnian, who loves him deeply, and he feels sorry for his dead mother and younger brother who is trapped in the clutches of the devil, but since it is the path he has chosen, there is no possibility of turning back, even if Lang Helan takes care of himself so thoughtfully, he still thinks about Cheng Gongnian, who has been rejected by him many times, but the "Buddha" is like a devil, pestering her to death, she can't hide, my Gongnian, what are you busy with? Even if I don't let you in, you can come and see me......

Suddenly, someone rushed up from downstairs and "knock knock......

"Miss Kun, I have your letter." Xinghua girl pushed the door in, Xinghua and Qiu Zikun lived in the same room these days, and the two talked very well.

"Xinghua'er, who sent it?" She seemed to know who had sent it, and she didn't immediately open it, and she didn't wonder too much.

"Sister, how do I know? There are many people in the front building, and Ma Wu gave it to me, so he said that someone sent it to the counter and said it was for you. As she spoke, Xinghua'er nodded politely and retreated obediently.

Qiu Zikun's heart sank, opened the yellow-brown envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and saw that it read, "Nighthawk: Quickly go to Room 404 of the North Building of the Yamato Hotel to extinguish the mouth, take the black suitcase, and send it to the Luoying Tavern on Kaiyun Street." "There was no payment, and a Buddha head carved from Hetian jade fell on the floor along with the photo inside. The picture showed a Russian with curly hair, a thick beard, deep-set eye sockets, and a hooked nose.

Qiu Zikun hurriedly picked up the photo and the Buddha's head, and her heart was flooded again, and then, she mechanically dragged her nightgown, took out a set of white plaid trench coat and black hakama from the cabinet, put them on her body, looked in the mirror again, sat on the edge of the bed and painted light makeup......

Just when she was packing up and about to open the door and go out, Lang Helan appeared at the door, "Sister, let's go-accompany my sister to go to Qiulin Company, I am bored at home......

"Sister...... I...... I've got something to go out for...... I may not have time to accompany you......" Qiu Zikun has a lot of affection for this hearty sister after many days of getting along, and even has some dependence, and she is also the object of her own selective confiding.

"I remember you didn't say you had nothing to do with your vacation today?" Lang Heran saw it in her eyes, and naturally understood a little in her heart, "That's okay, sister is afraid that you will get sick, if you have something to do, you will be busy with you, and we will go another day." Go get busy! ”

"Sister, then I'll go out." Qiu Zikun picked up his handbag and walked quickly towards the staircase, and then walked straight to the staircase with "dong dong ......".

"What is this girl busy with? Always preoccupied. Lang Heran muttered to herself. Just as she picked up the purple leather nightgown that Qiu Zikun had changed on the bed to hang up, the yellow-brown envelope fell from underneath, the letter paper and photos were half exposed, and the jade Buddha head fell on the floor.

Lang Heran picked up the Buddha's head suspiciously, stuffed it back into the envelope, along with the letter paper and photos, and pressed the envelope under the sheets.

After tidying up the house, Lang Heran closed the door in a hurry, she was thinking, who did this girl receive a letter from and went out in a hurry? Don't happen again? Thinking of this, maybe it was Qiu Zikun's longing, or maybe a little curiosity, she returned to the room......

"Boss lady-boss lady-someone is looking for-" Ma Wu's translucent voice came from downstairs......
