I sent Cai Xiaohong to the gate of the women's dormitory building on the West Campus, and then said to her: "You have to pay attention to your body, if you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on hard, I can also take your place myself, and I can also let Li Yun take her place." ”

Speaking of Li Yun, a strange look of shame flashed across Cai Xiaohong's face, and she said, "I'll pay attention." You also have to take care of your health, don't drink so much all the time. I'm leaving. ”

As she spoke, she went upstairs, while I stood under the street lamp, feeling that I still had a lot to say to Cai Xiaohong, such as I didn't want to open any more branches, and I even suddenly had doubts about whether I should open this bookstore, and I was no longer interested in the book selling business. Wenxin Bookstore, in fact, is not a necessity for me, although in Cai Xiaohong's opinion, Wenxin Bookstore is still very important.

I stood at the bottom of the girls' dormitory for a long time, until I realized that it was time to turn off the lights, and then hurried back to my dormitory.

As soon as I stepped into the bedroom door, the light went out, and I cursed, "Damn, this light went out on a fucking time."

Jin Puguang's voice rang out: "Zhou Xu? You're back? I'm waiting for you. ”

As soon as the voice fell, a flashlight lit up, and Jin Puguang appeared in front of me like a midnight ghost, I said that you are scared to death and you can't pay for your life, what kind of midnight terror can't be done.

Puguang said that I have been waiting for you, Li Yun came to you at about seven o'clock, I saw that she was very anxious, her face was ugly, and she was blue, but she scared me. When she saw that you weren't there, she asked about you, and I said I don't know where you went, and your boss Zhou never told me when he went out. Later, Li Yun said it didn't matter, she had already written a letter to you.

And then what?

Then she left the letter and left.

What about faith?

Here it is. Jin Puguang shook an envelope, which was the kind of envelope that was standard for the school. He was still nagging while giving me a letter, look, I have a bad feeling, is something wrong with Li Yun?

I said shut up, crow's mouth!

I hurriedly read the letter under the light of a flashlight, which was actually very short and sloppy, and should have been written in a time of extreme tension and urgency. It reads:

"Zhou Xu, something happened at home, I had to take the train back overnight. I'm sorry, it's too late to say more, wait for me to come back. Rue. ”

It's as simple as that, I didn't say what happened specifically, but it can be seen that Li Yun is indeed burning her eyebrows. She was a girl who took the train back to Longyou at night, and I always worried about her safety. But what now?

I asked Kim Puguang, do you have any nearest train schedules there?

Puguang shook his head and said: "I don't take the train, you also know that I am from Fuyang, where can I take the train to and from school." I think Hong Tao should have it. ”

So we immediately dragged Shen Hongtao, who had just fallen asleep, out of the bed, and forced the sleepy-eyed Hongtao to rummage through the boxes and cabinets like two robbers asking the victim where the money was, and finally found the latest timetable. At first glance, it turned out that there was a train to Quzhou at half past eight in the evening, which would stop at Longyou Station.

"Judging from the timetable, Li Yun should have been early in the morning when she got home, what made her have to rush back overnight?" Puguang looked at the timetable and said.

I was worried about whether a little girl would encounter any danger when she arrived at Longyou Station? After all, it was late, and anything could happen in such a small place.

This extreme anxiety kept me awake all night, and I went straight to Li Yun's bedroom early in the morning to ask her roommate why she had suddenly returned to her hometown.

The girls in Li Yun's bedroom were busy grooming and dressing, but they didn't shy away from letting me in. Li Yun's upper bunk roommate told me that not long after I left last night, there was a call to the aunt on duty to find Li Yun, it may be a very urgent matter, it should be from her hometown, Li Yun went to answer the phone and came back, just sat on the bed stupidly, her eyes were red, her face was blue, and she looked very scary. After a while, he wrote me a letter, and wrote a leave note for his roommate to pass it on to Lao Hu, and then simply cleaned up, went out, and asked her, she only said that there was an urgent matter at home, and did not say what the specific matter was, so she never returned.

I read the leave slip, and the reason for the leave was also an urgent matter at home, so I had to take leave to go home, and I didn't even say that it would take a few days to go back to school. I can't help it now, unless I go to Lao Hu, find out Li Yun's home address from Lao Hu, and then go directly to Longyou to find Li Yun, or write a letter to her, otherwise I can't find out what urgent things are going on at her home.

In this way, another three days passed, but Li Yun had no news, no letters, no calls back, in this era, there is no mobile phone, no network, no QQ, no quick and convenient contact information, I can only wait.

Suddenly, Li Yun disappeared from my otherwise peaceful college life, leaving me feeling unprecedented loss and emptiness for a while. Three more days later, a week later, and still no news. Lao Hu couldn't sit still, and personally wrote a letter to Li Yun to ask about her family's situation, and hoped to know when she would be able to return to school.

But three days later, Lao Hu still did not receive a reply.

During this time, I completely lost the interest in running Wenxin Bookstore, neither went to the bookstore to be on duty, nor went to Guo Ming's to buy goods, I didn't care about anything, just sat in the dormitory or library in a daze. I now know what the walking dead mean, and being in a daze is indeed a state of life, in which things and self are forgotten, and thoughts are ethereal, like wandering spirits.

Cai Xiaohong and Jin Puguang are very worried about the state of their little boss, and the bookstore is barely able to survive these days. A few times Puguang wanted to tell me about the purchase, he always inadvertently mentioned that there were not many books in the bookstore, but the mention of the bookstore would immediately remind people of Li Yun, the real major shareholder of the bookstore, and the sudden disappearance of Li Yun made me fall into a state of mental stupor.

On the 10th day, I finally had the initiation, and I suddenly came to my senses, as if I had come to my senses, and it felt like I had been in a dream for the past 10 days.

Anyway, after dinner that day, I was energetic and ran to the bookstore to help, Cai Xiaohong was placing a new batch of books there, and I didn't know where she got the books from. When she saw that I was in good spirits, she exclaimed in surprise and surprise: "Zhou Xu, you're here, it's great." ”

I said something.

She said you haven't been to the bookstore for a few days, and we're all worried.

I said that I was dizzy these days, and I didn't care about my brothers, which is really ashamed, but where did you get the new book?
