"I'd love to stay for dinner, but I don't have to." Su Wanqing shook her head, "I still have a few meetings to attend tonight, many people are waiting for me to go back, let's talk about it next time, when I get better, I will come back as a guest." ”

"Let's bring some vegetables back." Tang Xue put the dug radish, potatoes, and lettuce in a cloth bag: "The food over there is either bread, canned food and instant noodles, and there is not even a meal of white rice. ”

"There is no way, our conditions are limited, and most of the people in the team are Westerners, and the food is formulated according to Western tastes."

"Are you used to Western food?"

"I don't pay that much attention to food, but occasionally I still miss the taste of hometown food, so I'll take these vegetables, I haven't tasted fresh vegetables like this for a long time."

"It's best to get them tomorrow, they're all fresh, and they're delicious when boiled." Tang Xue put the wrapped bag on Su Wanqing's lap.

"I'll try my best." Su Wanqing smiled: "Then let's go, let's contact later." ”

"Wait, I have something for you." Kyungwon said.

"Give it to me?" Su Wanqing's face was puzzled.

"It's something he left behind, a notebook and a ring, the ring and the one you are wearing on your hand should be a pair, I have kept them, and they have been kept in this house, and since you are here, it is time to return them to you." Kyungwon said.

She was in a trance, opened her mouth slightly, but did not speak.

"I'll get it for you."

Kyungwon entered the room, and when he came out again, he had an old black-shelled notebook in his hand, and there was a leather clasp on the notebook case, which was properly fastened.

"It's not a diary or something, it's his account book, I didn't write anything special, but it was left by him anyway, and it was best to put it in your hands."

"He has always liked to remember things clearly, and he used to like to carry a small notebook with him and write down what he wanted to do in the notebook so as not to forget." She looked at her as if she remembered something.

"In the ring notebook, he used a knife to draw a square box in the middle of the page, and put the ring in that square box."

"It's to take it out when taking notes, he has to turn his book out and read it several times a day, every time he can't find his book, he will ask me, Susu, did you take my clothes to wash, did you turn over the clothes bag?"

When she said this, she couldn't help laughing, but after laughing twice, the smile dimmed again, and she just looked at the notebook with an almost doting look.

"Can you help me open the buckle? I want to see that ring. ”

"Okay."

Kyungwon opened the leather buckle and handed the notebook over.

She took the notebook, put it on her legs, and opened the cover with the only hand she could move.

Very familiar handwriting, the pages have long been yellowed by oxidation, and there are piles of densely written.

"There are 15 bottles of 500ml of drinking water, 10 packs of various biscuits, 2 packs of jelly, and 5 packs of various candies."

"Priority needs to be replenished: water and food."

"What is in short supply at the moment: bedding, firewood, and cotton clothes for winter."

It was written down when he was living in this city, and the handwriting was a little blurry because it had passed so long, but it was recognizable at a glance, it was his handwriting.

"Actually, you found Tang Xue and Xiaobai's room that day, it was his room, he had lived there for a long time, you should be able to see that there were traces of people living there."

"That's . his room."

She recalls the room, the blue-blue mobile homes lined up like shipping containers.

It was a dormitory for the workers on the construction site, made of light steel, and could be built in a matter of days.

In a room there, they found Tang Xue, who was seriously injured.

Was that his room? That paint bucket was his brazier, and that bunk bed was where he slept.

The mobile house there was searched by the HSA reconnaissance team, and only traces of human habitation were found in the room on the second floor, and the rest of the rooms had long been deserted.

Although there were bunk beds in that room, only one bed was covered with sheets, and the second bed became a warehouse for miscellaneous items.

The investigation report indicated that the room could only accommodate one person.

It wasn't until today that she realized that she had been so close to him.

One can almost imagine the night when he threw firewood into a paint bucket and started a fire, the matches burning silently and crackling, and he sat alone at his desk, writing his ledger alone.

He was worried about water and food, and it was so cold in winter that he couldn't find a suitable bedding and cotton clothes.

Has he been living like this all these years? He was alone, lying in such a cramped room in the silence of the night, how could he keep himself from crying?

It's so uncomfortable, why wasn't it by his side at that time?

She flipped the notebook open, and it didn't take much effort to turn to that page, because there were so many pages that it seemed that even a notebook could remember where it was.

The ring was in the square space in the middle of the page, the same style as the one on her hand, and they were originally a pair.

Suddenly stunned, the inner ring of the ring was engraved with her name in familiar handwriting.

Originally, there were no words engraved on the ring, but the inner ring on her hand was smooth and complete.

It was really lost to him, yes, those lonely and lonely nights, he was thinking about her, he sat by the fire, thinking about her, and engraved her name on the inner ring of the ring.

The three words "Su Wanqing" are not rough at all, as if they have been polished thousands of times.

Looking at this ring, she felt that she was surrounded by love, it was really a happy thing to be loved, she was loved so deeply and unforgettable.

Her sadness and sadness could not compare to his love.

Her empty heart for many years was filled, and "hope" and "love" filled her.

Her heart is really strong, she will no longer be afraid of any difficulties, she can finally smile calmly and face her heart calmly.

"Thanks, it's important to me, I'll take good care of them." She closed her notes and smiled cheerfully.

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

"Then we'll go, looking forward to the day when we meet again."

"Goodbye."

The helicopter soared into the sky and flew towards the setting sun.

The sun is about to set, and the world will be dark again, but what is there to be afraid of, tomorrow morning, the sun will still rise as usual.

It's going to be another energetic day, and she'll be full of energy to welcome the new morning.
