Pastoral Chronicle of Space

Chapter 111
Tian Tian stood at the gate and watched them leave before going in with Meng Weixi.

Tian Tian walked to the door of her house, and Meng Weixi behind her spoke.

"How many days are you leaving here?"

Tian Tian turned around and saw his serious face, and couldn't see what she meant by her question, but she still answered truthfully.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

He looked at Tian Tian, ​​then turned to look at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the garden, and didn't speak for a while.

Tian Tian thought he had nothing to say, but just as he was about to enter the room, he spoke again.

"You—go to Kyoto? If..."

"I'm going to Kyoto—"

"Notify me when you leave."

Tian Tian heard the meaning in his words, she had a premonition that this person would not...

"how……"

"It happens to be on the same road, let's go together."

"Aren't you in a hurry to leave?"

"No hurry, let's go together if it's convenient! You're a girl..."

"As I said just now, it may take a few days."

"It's okay, let's go together!"

Tian Tian somewhat knew that he was a very serious person, and what he believed might not be easy to change.Besides, it's okay to walk together, anyway, it's such a big train, and it doesn't hinder me.

Tian Tian stayed in the courtyard of the town for two days. She thought nothing was going on, and after counting, there were still ten days until the Chinese New Year. She thought that she would return to the capital within a day or two, and the old man in the province was worried.

Before she could tell Meng Weixi about this plan, there was a knock on the door. The person who came was Ning Hao's colleague from the town, who came to deliver a message for Director Han, saying that Tian Tian had something important to go over, not far from the town. Tian Tian entered the house and pushed his bicycle, intending to ride there.

She pushed the bike to the door, and the comrade who came to pass the message was also riding a bike, so Tian Tian followed him to their unit.

After entering, Tian Tian followed him to the corner office on the second floor. He opened the door, and the door was closed when Tian Tian entered.

Six or seven people inside were all looking at Tian Tian, ​​including Director Han and Ning Hao, who were still wearing clothes from three days ago, with unshaven beards and tired faces.

Seeing Tian Tian and the others showed a sincere smile with exhaustion.

Chief Han rubbed his face vigorously, and greeted Tian Tian when he got up.

"Tian Tian is here, sit down quickly, Uncle is going to trouble you again!"

"Uncle Han is polite, he is nothing compared to you."

He pulled away the chair next to him, Tian Tian went to sit next to him, and Ning Hao put a cup of hot tea in front of her.

From the smell, I knew it was the tea I gave them. It seemed that they had left the day before yesterday and never returned home.

"Thank you, Uncle Ning!"

"No, drink water to keep warm first, and ride a bike to get cold!"

"Fortunately."

The other five people saw Director Han and Ning Hao being so enthusiastic about Tian Tian, ​​serving tea and water, and pulling chairs to sit down. They didn't understand, and they looked at Tian Tian directly.

The few people looked around and didn't understand anything, they insisted on saying that there was any difference, the little girl was clean and good-looking, and her temperament was unusual, so they didn't notice anything else.

Tian Tian's five senses are so sensitive, she knows that the five eyes are shooting at her body, she sits and drinks tea calmly, as if she is not aware of it.

Most of the cup of tea was poured down, Tian Tian put down the cup and looked at Director Han and Ning Hao.

"Uncle Han, Uncle Ning, if you have anything to say, I will never refuse if I can help you."

"It's better for us to be Tiantian. Uncle won't say those good things. Thank you in advance. You can definitely help me with this matter."

"Hahaha—good niece, only you can help us. It's up to you whether uncle can go home for the New Year."

"When you say that, I'm under a lot of pressure!"

"Tremendous stress?"

Director Han recalled the words he had never heard before, and slowly tasted the taste.

"Hahaha—that's a good word, it's really the same thing. Isn't stress just like a mountain of people who can't breathe? Hmm—we are under a lot of pressure now!"

He howled with pride, as if to release the pressure.

"Hahaha——No matter how big the mountain is, Tiantian will help us carry it."

Except for Ning Hao laughing, everyone in the office was tense, but they didn't dare to laugh at Director Han.

"Hehehehe——Your mountain is too big, I can't bear it."

"Tian Tian, ​​when do you plan to leave?"

Chief Han suddenly asked Tian Tian, ​​but he didn't know what he meant?
"I originally planned to leave in two days, but it seems that I can't go!"

"Hahaha——I can't go, it will be a day or two late, we really need your help."

"Okay, a day or two is fine."

"Great, Uncle, thank you!"

"You're welcome, tell me! What's the matter?"

Director Han handed Tian Tian a file bag.

"Look, if you can draw this person based on the clues inside."

Tian Tian opened the kraft paper bag, took out more than a dozen pages of information and read it carefully.

She didn't say a word after reading it, just sat quietly thinking, Director Han and Ning Hao didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing her.

It took about a quarter of an hour before Tian Tian came back to his senses.

"Are there any other clues?"

"No--"

Director Han knew that the information was too limited, and he was also in a dilemma, but there was no other way at present.

"Tian Tian, ​​do you think this can be drawn?"

"Try it! There are important description clues, but I'm not sure how well it fits."

"It doesn't matter. You can draw boldly without worry. After all, there is too little information, so you don't need to be stressed."

"Okay, then I'll try."

"Just try."

Tian Tian picked up the pencil and paper at hand and began to draw, while other people in the office continued to work, but they all moved lightly.

The information of the materials was firmly remembered by Tian Tian. She picked up the pen and drew it in a hurry. After finishing, she revised the details, and a sketch of the characters came out.

"Okay, let's take a look!"

"That's good! It's still Tian Tian's ability."

"Uncle Han should let people see it first, don't rush to praise me."

"Hahaha——No problem, Uncle's ability to you is...how can I say it! It's just one word, I believe you."

"Hehehe - you have several words."

"Don't be afraid of too many good words, as long as you talk, you will have more."

Ning Hao took the portrait and took a closer look.

"A witness will arrive in the afternoon, let him take another look."

"What time will you arrive in the afternoon?"

Anyway, they are all in the town, and it only takes ten minutes to ride the bicycle. If it is not so fast, Tian Tian wants to go home and stay.

"Maybe not so fast!"

Ning Hao looked at his watch and told Tian Tian.

"It's already noon, let's eat first."

"Uncle Han, Uncle Ning, you can eat! If there is nothing else, I will go back first, and call me again if there is something else."

"That won't work, let's go after dinner!"

"Seeing that you are all exhausted, eat quickly! Take a rest after eating. I'll go back first, and you can treat me to a good meal when I go to the county seat another day."

"Okay, okay——Tiantian still loves us, so I won't keep you for dinner."

"You're welcome, I'll go first."

"Let's go! I'll see you off."

Ning Hao sent Tian Tian to the gate all the way,
"Ride carefully, I'll send someone to find you if something happens."

"Okay, go in and get a good night's sleep! You're already ten years older."

"Really?"

He touched his face nervously.

"Just look in the mirror and you'll know."

"Ugly?"

"Hehehehe - ugly and old!"

These words were so heartbreaking that Ning Hao couldn't recover.

Seeing Tian Tian's smug smile, he knew he had been bullied again.

"You little girl, make fun of my uncle!"

"Hehehehe—goodbye, Comrade Ning."

The crisp and pleasant laughter goes away with the bicycle...

Ning Hao, who was standing still, looked at her receding back and smiled.

"This little girl..."

He pinched his cheek, a little nervous.He muttered as he walked in.

"No! I have to go get some sleep."
