Meng was tired and wanted to leave this place of trouble in a big stride. He was desperate, but there was still a little hope in the despair. He shook his legs and walked slowly.
Long Wenjian ran as fast as he could, pretending to throw the pile of letters into the burning brazier. Shuoyu was very curious. No one had ever written to him, and no one would ever write to him. These letters had been passed around to many places, and even the envelopes were already tattered. They all came from one family after another, like transparent silk threads connecting one person after another.
Before the captain threw the letters into the fire pit, Shuo Yu snatched them away and read the names on them one by one.
"Li Sifu! Who is Li Sifu?!"
"Gu Xiaomai, Gu Xiaomai, your father has sent you a letter—!"
"Hao Xichuan, Dad, your son Jie Toad also wrote something for you!"
"Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian, here is also your letter, your letter——!"
"Zhang Guisheng, who is Zhang Guisheng?"
…
Shuo Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, reading the names on the letter one by one. The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard. Everyone stopped everything, including their breathing, for fear of disturbing anything. They only looked at Banxian'er, watching him, waiting for him to read their names.
A special order slowly emerged, eager and afraid.
Faces tanned red by the Yunnan sun were filled with spring-like longing. Some were even swallowing their dry throats, while others were tapping their trembling thighs. This included Meng Fanle, who had turned his head away at some point and was standing there in a daze.
It was not until Shuoyu finally called out his name that he finally woke up from his dream.
"Meng is tired, Meng is tired, tired, tired, your father has sent you a letter, your father really sent you a letter--!"
Shuo Yu sat and waved at the dazed shadow not far away, with a speed that had never appeared on Fanla before. He smiled at Fanla who suddenly appeared in front of him, stuffed the letter into his hand, and stretched out his hand to him.
"Money, excuse me, give me the money."
"Oh, oh, here."
Just now, Fanla, who didn't want his leader to take away this piece of tattered paper, exchanged it for another piece of equally tattered paper in a dazed manner. Meng Fanla handed the money he had just warmed up to Shuoyu, who then handed it to Si La Si La who was lying on the side with a silly smile.
A loud sound came from behind Meng Fanle.
"You are not free, Meng Fan, you are not free, you are not free—!"
“Haha ...!”
Shuoyu smiled and continued to send messages. He kicked the gloating Si La Si La, then turned his head and pretended that he had done nothing.
On the other side, Meng Fanle jumped to his feet and found an uninhabited tree root or valley. After making sure that there was no one around, he carefully opened the letter. He was so careful that he even put a small corner that was torn off back into his pocket. The letter that had wandered across most of China finally arrived in the hands of the person it was supposed to be in. The letter was solemnly unfolded, and Meng Fanle read the few lines of words back and forth.
He sniffed the letter carefully, as if he could smell Peking and the figure of his old, conservative father. In order to prevent his tears from soaking the rotten letter paper, he had to wipe his tears at all times.
He is no longer a homeless child, and his family misses him as much as he misses them.
"My son is tired and wants to ask you:..."
The words on it made him curl up, feeling both guilty and warm. It was a piece of tattered letter paper, as if it would break if he pressed it too hard. He gently covered his face with the letter paper, and the light between the leaves shone through the gaps between the letter paper and shone onto his dark red face.
The previous resentment and resentment disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Tears and snot flowed together, as if he had returned to his childhood again. He couldn't help but miss his mother's embrace and his father's hand. It felt really bad, as if an invisible rope that had been around his neck for a long time was tightening again, saying to him again, "Look, I'm always here, hey~!"
Yes, it has always been there, but Meng Fanlu felt that it had not appeared again. Now it appeared again, strangling his neck again with a familiar and reassuring feeling of suffocation, so that he was like a fish with its tail stranded on the shore.
In the bushes not far away, Shuo Yu originally wanted to come and see him, but seeing that he obviously didn't want to be discovered by others, he had no choice but to squat here and watch Fanla crying silently. He looked ten thousand times uglier when he cried than when he smiled, and he didn't look good when he smiled.
Shuoyu lowered his head and thought,
"Actually, it's really nice to have a letter."
He left that place quietly and returned to his little cave. There was a small table at the door where Maodou was basking in the sun. There was a letter under Maodou's cat paw. He thought that some careless person had thrown his letter there and Maodou had brought it here. When he took it, he saw that his name was written on it.
When I opened it, I saw a few large, crooked characters written in a flamboyant and swaying style: [You are the best!]
There aren't many words on a crumpled piece of paper, but the handwriting shows that the writer was very serious.
The first part of the address reads a series of titles such as close follower and confidant, and the signature at the end reads: Your captain.
Shuo Yu looked at the large characters. In fact, their leader's education level was not very high, and he had read very few books, so he cherished every book. He would sometimes go to Fanla and Ayi's "small literacy class", but he would just stand in the corner and listen secretly. Then, when Fanla and Ayi asked him, he would pretend that he was just there to check whether they were attending the class well.
