Chapter 5 4. The Second Letter

Chapter 5 4. The second letter

In the bridge cave where things can be tidied up well

July 18, 1991

Xiaowhingjin District

No. 4 Privet Drive

Storage room under stairs

Mr. Harry Potter receives



The amazing Mr. Harry Potter:

Receiving the reply really made me feel like I had fallen into a fairy tale.

This is wonderful.

Every adult with a childlike heart is looking forward to an owl (cross out this sentence)

I mean, very happy.

You probably don't understand this feeling of wandering around. It's not the wandering of the body, but the lack of a fixed place in the heart.

In this world, I have no destination and no way to fit in. If I could go back to the past, I could endure it no matter if it was a weird boss or a stupid colleague.

Do you understand?

As long as I can get out of here. But I have tried many ways. The most serious one was when I almost died, but when I opened my eyes, there was still spider silk floating in the bridge hole.

I have always thought that I am a very strong person, but that time I cried for a long time, probably because the howling was too terrifying, and I got to know Hank.

Hank is the kind postman.

He comforted me that if I wanted to find someone, he could help me look for discarded envelopes and stamps, if I could still remember their contact information.

So I started writing letters like crazy.

Later you also found out.

You were the only one who replied.

Sorry, I'm actually not good at confiding in others, and I shouldn't even talk about such a heavy and painful topic in front of a child like you.

Please forgive me. What I want to express is that your existence seems to be the anchor of this special time and space, which gives me the courage to continue living and the hope for the future.

Dear little Harry (I always thought it was a bit disgusting to call someone such a name from a foreigner, but now you are really dear Harry, please forgive me for being presumptuous).

I hope that after July, no matter how our world changes. After all, I am very likely to be a Muggle, and I will never be able to wait for my owl (cross out this sentence)

In short, I hope we will always be friends.

Also, thank you for your three pennies.

I know that mowing the lawn is not an easy job. For children, the huge recoil of the mower can make their arms sore.

Don't get me wrong, as a dirty bum, I'm not qualified to do this kind of work, but I've heard others say it.

I have actually saved a little money, but Mr. Harry Potter, who is willing to send all his savings to me just because of a letter, I am very touched by the kindness of your character.

Don't worry about me. Now that I have found the direction of my life, I will live a better life.

Believe me, I have found a way to make money - by writing articles for some newspapers.

Maybe one day you can see me in the newspaper.

By the way, your birthday is coming soon, right?

If I remember correctly, it's the last day of July.

Enclosed is a birthday gift. I actually received this letter on the 12th, but I delayed it for a while in order to prepare the gift.

The efficiency of the British postal service is really impressive. Even though we are both in London, I can't keep track of its progress at all (I even suspect that they made a circle around the entire UK before delivering it to you).

Hank said that this was not the case before, but that there was a shortage of manpower during this period, and even he had to take on several more blocks than before.

Alas, I miss the logistics of same-day and next-day delivery.

Hope you like this gift.

Hope you will always be happy.

Yours faithfully

Lin an
