"Well, you know, you know. The key is that you don't feel anything when it's your turn, but when it comes to your children, especially your daughter, then your heart will never be in your stomach." Zhang Haotian's voice sounded really full.
She was all tired, and then she said with a wry smile: "Look at me, I'm telling you this properly. Forget it, she's busy with her work. Let's talk to her when she comes back after she's done. It's time for her to transfer to other clerical jobs.
, think about personal matters. Now that she hasn’t come back, it’s useless to say anything. By the way, Xudong, are you getting married on the sixth day of the lunar month? "
The invitations have been sent out and all the ones that should be received have been received. Wang Xudong said: "Yes, uncle, you and auntie must come when the time comes."
"Okay, I originally thought about going, but Xiaoyun doesn't know if she can come back. Anyway, your aunt and I will definitely go. You must drink this wedding wine."
The two chatted for a few more words, greeted Zhang Xiaoyun's mother, and then Wang Xudong hung up the phone.
Taking his mobile phone, Wang Xudong dialed Zhang Xiaoyun's number. As expected, the phone on the other end was still turned off. He could only send a message: "I just called my uncle. My uncle and aunt miss you very much. If you have time, talk to them."
Please get in touch.”
These two consecutive phone calls made him feel extremely heavy. Outside, little Su Hao was wearing new clothes and holding new toys, happily playing with Uncle Yang in the living room. The room was full of things that Uncle Yang had decorated.
He felt the New Year atmosphere, but when he thought about the situation in Qin Kexin's family and Zhang Xiaoyun's family, he felt extremely desolate.
"What's wrong with this year? Why are you living so uneasily in a good year?" Wang Xudong muttered to himself.
But he can't do anything. In the final analysis, he is only a human being, not a god. His feelings can only be given to one person. Otherwise, he can only keep his guilt deep in his heart.
Because he was ready to go out to the riverside to watch the fireworks in the evening, Uncle Yang prepared dinner early. The whole family felt that they had not finished digesting what they had eaten at noon, so they started again in the evening, but this Chinese New Year is not just a family
We ate and drank together, and finished the meal while talking and laughing.
The fireworks started at eight o'clock, and they were ready to set off at almost seven o'clock. Uncle Yang was changing Su Hao's coat, Su Wanqi was also packing, and Wang Xudong was about to go out to drive when his cell phone rang.
Wang Xudong thought it was someone calling at this time to pay New Year's greetings, but when he picked it up, he saw it was an unfamiliar number from out of town. He picked it up casually: "Hello, who is this?"
There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a while. There was only the whistling of the wind, heavy breathing, and very urgent footsteps, as if a person was running with all his strength. Wang Xudong was suddenly a little surprised.
Somewhat alert: "Hello, who are you?"
Still no one spoke, Wang Xudong frowned and said: "Hello, if you don't speak, I will hang up."
He was thinking that someone might have dialed the wrong number by accident while running, or it was just a prank, so he was about to hang up when he heard a hoarse voice coming from the other end: "Xudong, it's
I."
Wang Xudong was shocked and almost turned to stone.
"Xiaoyun?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was breathless, and coupled with the sound of the wind, it was distorted and unsightly, but Wang Xudong could still tell that it was Zhang Xiaoyun's voice.
"Where are you? What are you doing? What's the situation now?" Wang Xudong asked nervously, his intuition telling him that Zhang Xiaoyun's current situation was very bad.
Zhang Xiaoyun did not answer his question. She seemed to be still running non-stop, because Wang Xudong could hear the wind on the phone and her hurried footsteps, and even this time he could hear someone shouting something loudly behind her.
While running, she said: "Xudong, I may not be able to go back this time." Listening to her voice, she was exhausted, and there was deep despair in her voice.
"What did you say?" Wang Xudong's heart was in his throat. He knew that Zhang Xiaoyun couldn't be joking with him, and it didn't look like a joke anyway.
"Where are you and what are you doing?" Wang Xudong said anxiously, and Su Wanqi had also come out. Seeing him like this, she quickly came over and asked him: "What's wrong?"
Wang Xudong had no idea and didn't know how to answer Su Wanqi, because he couldn't figure out the situation now, so he could only shout into the phone: "Xiaoyun, where are you? Tell me and I will go find you now."
He quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind: Zhang Xiaoyun was out to handle inter-provincial cases, cases of abduction and trafficking of women and children, and the task force was in a closed environment to prevent the news from leaking... So now it seems that she could only be handling the case.
She encountered danger during the process, but what kind of situation was it? He shouted almost at the top of his lungs: "Are you the only one? Where are the others? Tell me what the situation is, and I will go find you now!"
"No, it's useless for you to come. It's too far. I have already informed the cooperating comrades here, but this place is too far. Those people are still chasing me. I may not be able to wait for them to come." Zhang Xiaoyun.
As she spoke, her breathing became increasingly labored, "Xudong, if something happens to me, please go visit my parents when you have time and tell them that I can no longer fulfill my filial piety and I'm sorry for them."
"Also, Xudong, I love you. I originally wanted to never tell you for the rest of my life, but after thinking about it, there is no chance. Also, I wish you happiness."
When she said this, Wang Xudong heard the silence on the other end. She seemed to have stopped running, calmed down and tried her best to finish the sentence. Even the wind disappeared, and only her last sentence, the sound
It's not big, but it keeps echoing in Wang Xudong's ears.
And because Su Wanqi was standing next to Wang Xudong, she heard the voice on the phone clearly in her ears, so she also heard Zhang Xiaoyun's words "I love you". Her face suddenly turned pale.
Before Wang Xudong had time to say anything, distant shouts rang out on the phone, and the call was hung up at this moment. Wang Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then quickly dialed back, but what came from the other end was just a burst of
The cold mechanical sound was still unanswered.
At this time, thousands of miles away in the mountains, cold winds were blowing, but Zhang Xiaoyun's head and body were covered with sweat. She had been running for too long, and her physical strength had been completely exhausted, and she was soaked with sweat.
She wore thin and worn clothes, and when the wind blew, it was like a layer of ice, making her whole body cold and her teeth chattering. (To be continued)
