Chapter 15



Two days passed in a flash.

"Everything is here, take a look." Xu Wenbin handed her a thin yellow envelope.

Pei Manning took out two pieces of paper from inside. One was a household registration booklet with the words "Hanjiang City An County Public Security Bureau" printed on the cover in a thick font. In the middle was a row of three large characters "Household Registration Booklet", and on the back were the year, month, and day.

Printed inside are "name, alias, gender, date of birth, ethnicity, address, place of origin, origin, composition, address, occupation, educational level, religious belief, military service status, marital status, political identity and place of service..." (from the data)

On another piece of paper were printed the three big characters of “Letter of Introduction”, and on the other side were printed “We would like to introduce ———— and other ———— comrades to contact you————————Please contact us.”

This letter of introduction was stamped with the official seal of the production team.

During this period, because of the settlement of educated youth in the countryside, the team leader was required to bring people to the county public security bureau to verify the information. The commune issued several official introduction letters to each production team.

Pei Manning nodded. "What does your household registration seal look like?"

Xu Wenbin hesitated for a moment, then showed a corner of his household registration booklet, just enough to see a complete official seal. "Sister, you are not going to ask someone to make a fake seal, are you?"

This elder sister looks gentle, but she is even braver than him!

Pei Manning memorized the words and details of the official seal, and then handed the bracelet to him, "Don't worry, even if something happens in the future, I won't expose you."

When she said this, Xu Wenbin touched his nose in embarrassment, "Sister, that's not what I meant. Yes, yes...you should be more careful."

Pei Manning smiled faintly, "I understand."

"Then sister, I wish you all the best."

After Pei Manning returned, she immediately drew the official seal with exact size, text, and details.

It took her several days and many white radishes to carve out a seal that could be confused with the real thing. After filling in the information and applying ink, a household register came out freshly made.

Pei Manning put it away carefully.

In January, the weather was getting colder and colder, and Anxian County had its first snow. The white snow flakes floated from the sky and fell on the eaves, treetops, and streets...

The ancient and quiet county town, covered in silver, becomes even colder and quieter.

Pei Manning bought the ticket and boarded

I took the bus to Nanjing.

She planned to visit Nanjing for a while before going to Yangzhou.

The car is filled with all kinds of smells, foot odor, sweat, chicken and duck feces, mixed together to form a strong and pervasive smell.

As soon as they got in the car, Pei Manning's face turned pale. She tried her best to suppress the churning in her stomach, and sat on the seat, leaning against the window with a pale face.

The seats in the car were made of wooden strips nailed together, with a wooden table in the middle, and two rows of people sitting opposite each other.

She glanced inadvertently, and in an instant, she saw a familiar face.

The boy was about eight or nine years old, wearing a black Mao suit, clean and handsome, with a gentle look. He sat diagonally in front of her, across two rows of seats and the aisle.

Yuan Weicheng?

Pei Manning was a little surprised and turned her head towards the car window subconsciously. Although she had been dressed up and her face was painted with wax yellow and pearl powder, her facial features had not changed. If someone familiar with her looked at her a few more times, they would probably recognize her.

Well, Yuan Weicheng was holding his gift and looking at her, his eyes blank, and he didn't notice her at all.

"Drinks, beer, mineral water, melon seeds, peanuts, and eight-treasure porridge," the train salesman came over with something and shouted after the train started, "Drinks, beer, mineral water, melon seeds, peanuts, and eight-treasure porridge, come on, put your feet down."

Pei Manning wrapped herself tighter with her headscarf and turned to look out the window.

"Comrade, please show me your ticket and letter of introduction." The conductor checked everyone's ticket and letter of introduction one by one to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

Pei Manning handed the items over and after a rough inspection, the conductor walked back.

During the several-hour drive, Pei Manning was nervous all the way, fearing that Yuan Weicheng would recognize her and cause more trouble.

Immersed in her nervous mood, she didn't notice that when she was changing trains at a certain station, a tall and slender figure got on the train and walked straight to this carriage.

His eyes darted around, as sharp as a hawk stalking its prey, lingering on her face for a second before retracting his gaze and striding over to the last row.

The setting sun was shining through the train window, sinking slowly towards the horizon. The setting sun was like molten gold, the clouds were dyed red, and in the distance was a boundless wilderness. The train was moving slowly forward, as if it would never reach the end.

However, this was just her illusion, and in less than an hour, the green train came into view.

Pei Manning picked up her luggage. She didn't have much luggage, just a cloth bag. She was afraid of being discovered by Yuan Weicheng, so she hurriedly walked away in the gray-blue crowd.

The car.

Then he found a way to vomit violently, as if he was going to vomit out bile. In the end, there was nothing left in his stomach, and he had another round of convulsions.

Her face was as pale as gold paper, and she held onto the wall, moving slowly.

It was Pei Manning's first time riding in a car. She felt extremely uncomfortable and hadn't eaten for almost the entire day. Now her vision was blacking out and she was holding onto the wall, swaying as if she was about to fall.

The tall man behind her looked sullen and frowned. Could he really do the job if he looked so coquettish?

He gestured to the person next to him, "Go and follow Yuan Weicheng."

The man nodded and immediately walked in the direction Yuan Weicheng left.
