Chapter 2 Strange People
Lin Fan knew that many people were talking about her, but she didn't care. How could a person who didn't even care about his life and death care about the gossip of strangers?
If the problem of depression is really bad, and the symptoms are very serious, it will not be so easy to get better.
She stayed in the hospital for 3 months. In order to give her a better recovery environment, the doctor asked her to go home.
A year later, Lin Fan's body gradually returned to normal. At least it seemed normal. But her heart was still in ruins.
The world in her eyes was gray and she had no desire to live at all.
It seems that any disease will become careless after time wears off. Lin’s mother feels that Lin Fan is a normal person again, and she starts talking and quarrels with Lin’s father again.
Lin Fan's condition began to recur again.
The doctor advises that if you can't understand it, you should separate.
So, in order to create a better bad situation, Lin’s father took Lin’s mother to the high market where they did business over the years. They also bought a house there and could drive an hour to get there.
Lin Fan, who was alone, felt at ease and entered a long recovery period. In the eyes of others, he was just doing nothing.
While overcoming the pain caused by side effects of the drug, she slowly explores the hope in life.
However, the treatment and medication for mental illnesses are very expensive. After using up all the savings, her parents continued to support Lin Fan with their pensions. Life began to be stretched, and Lin Fan was unwilling to fill the bottomless pit again, so she stopped treatment.
In the time when she could not see hope, Lin Fan felt her incompetence countless times, and her body was dull and painful. She wanted to get better soon and make money early to be independent, but reality went against the trend, her health was getting worse and worse, and her spirit was not good.
Not to mention looking for a job, sometimes even maintaining a normal life is barely enough.
The age is getting older and the health is getting worse, but the recovery is nowhere to be achieved.
While struggling, Lin Fan comforted himself, but could not get help or get out of the predicament.
The place she lives in is an old community with good greenery. When it was first developed, a mini park was built, with small earth slopes, tree-lined paths, and a small pond at the outer entrance of the park.
The window of Lin Fan's room can see this landscape. Spring flowers, autumn moon, summer insects, ice and snow, the seasons change, and full of vitality. This small scenery can relieve her anxiety and relax her.
However, two years ago, parking spaces were tight, and the bushes and turf downstairs were pulled out for parking spaces. The pond was also filled, parking spaces were marked and fitness facilities were also made.
Fortunately, the place was enough, and the woods were finally saved.
One day when Lin Fan went out, he saw a stray cat, dirty all over his body, looking for food in the trash can. She looked at it for a while, but the cat found nothing, but instead found her gaze and ran away alertly.
Maybe it was because of my grandmother's gentle old cat in my memory, or maybe I was moved by seeing its survival, so Lin Fan followed and entered the woods.
The woods are so small that you can see at the entrance at a glance, which is about 50 meters square. There was a time when no one cleaned it, and there was garbage everywhere inside, dirty and smelly, no one came in.
Later, people arranged for cleaning, and perhaps everyone's quality has improved a little, and they can finally get in. However, there are also many mosquitoes inside, and those who take care of children are unwilling to enter. Adults find it boring, and instead become a paradise for small animals.
Lin Fan walked in and searched carefully before seeing several sheds hidden among the trees on the top of the soil slope, and he could vaguely see his shaking tail.
"Meow..." She squatted down and learned to meow, trying to pull the cat out.
"It's useless, they are so wary. They don't look like puppies, they come as soon as they yell." A kind female voice came from behind.
Lin Fan stood up and turned around, and saw a gray-haired grandmother walking over with a gentle smile. She took a few steps back without a trace.
Grandma put down the bag in her hand, took out a bag of black stuff and a bottle of water from it, pulled it off the edge of the tree root, took out two disposable lunch boxes, and gently scolded the direction of the cat's nest: "I like to knock over the rice bowl every day, and I want to turn it over every day. If I don't come one day, I will see what you eat!"
The lunch box was a little dirty, so she slowly rinsed it with water, and said to Lin Fan: "Meow, you can't attract me, it's better to be familiar with it. They think you are a stranger and will have to wait for you to leave before you can come out to eat."
Pour in clean water, then remove the plastic bag, and pour the things inside into another lunch box. The brown and round grains were round, Lin Fan guessed that it might be cat food.
Grandma packed up her things and greeted Lin Fan: "Let's go first, they dare not come out if you are here."
Lin Fan glanced at the cat that was about to emerge from the tree and followed.
"I just can't bear to see these little things starve. If I don't come for a day, I'm afraid they will be hungry, and I'm very worried." Grandma walked in front and said to herself.
As she was about to reach the exit, she squatted down again, took out a bottle of water and food from her handbag again, and fumbled in the bushes, but couldn't find anything.
"Which one who was unscrupulous was thrown away by me again." She was a little angry and took out two disposable lunch boxes from her handbag and started pouring food and water.
"This is prepared for the little wanderer from outside, but most of them are eaten for Meow Meow." She smiled and poured the food, "I haven't had a new little wanderer for a long time. It's great."
After finishing his work, grandma carefully packed the empty bottle and bag and asked casually: "Do you like cats?"
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. He liked it... it seemed that there was no question.
"I just like cats and dogs. When I was young, I couldn't raise them." Grandma didn't seem to want to wait for her to answer, and continued with a smile, "I'm old and I can't bear to see these cats and dogs have no home and are hungry and cold."
"Hey, they were so happy, and the dog got along with me and followed me home. The cats were not so close, so they stayed in the woods. I built a nest for them and put some old clothes on them. I came to see them every day, and didn't worry about them getting wet in the rain and freezing. At this age, I was a person with both cats and dogs."
"You are a good person." Lin Fan looked at the old man's happy smiling face and sincerely exclaimed.
"Where?" the old man waved his hand and laughed. "Isn't it that even when people get old, they can't do anything else. Helping these little animals can make me look like a useful old lady."
This sentence pointed Lin Fan in a direction
Perhaps she can also increase some weak life value by feeding stray animals and helping these weaker and helpless groups - at least she can do something useful.
After returning, I immediately bought a package of cat food online. It was not good, but I was full. I also took the large porcelain bowl of my house to put water food and fed it every now and then. Grandma Pei, who was feeding the cat, was very happy after meeting her several times, and no longer worried that she would starve them occasionally.
But Lin Fan didn't like to deal with people, so he later chose to go for lunch at around 12 noon, and they went for lunch break. After a long time, the cat became more familiar with her and dared to wander around the rice bowl while she was putting food.
Life seems to have changed a little, and there are a little more differences, which can be considered a new step.
At noon that day, Lin Fan went to feed the cats again. In the woods, Meow Meow stretched out to urge her to eat when she saw her coming. Lin Fan pretended for them and was squatting to watch the little cuties bury their heads and was hearing the voices behind her.
"Ms. Lin?"
Lin Fan didn't think he was calling her.
In small cities with small tier 4, people who speak Mandarin and call people are nothing more than couriers. She hasn’t bought couriers these days, so there will be no couriers looking for her, and she never orders takeout.
It was not until Meow Meow, who was having dinner, suddenly crawled into the woods, and footsteps came from behind him. He heard a "Ms. Lin" again in a very close position. Lin Fan was sure that he might be calling her. She stood up and turned slowly, and saw a smiling young man standing 3 meters in front.
He wore a pair of black-framed glasses. He looked very handsome, but his smile was very friendly and infectious. He raised his 6-point appearance to 8 points. No one refuted it to say that he was a handsome guy. At noon on a hot day, he was wearing a black suit and a crimson tie tightly clasped on the collar of the white shirt, as if he couldn't feel the heat.
intermediary?
Lin Fan thought to himself. How did the agent know her? Did he recognize the wrong person?
"Ms. Lin Fan," the young man confirmed that he had not recognized the wrong person. He took a few steps forward and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with her, "Hello, my name is John Woo."
Wu John originally thought Lin Fan should be more decadent or gloomy. After all, in his investigation, Lin Fan had been severely depressed for several years. He lived alone and did not like to get along with others... Various entries formed a bad image in his mind, but the real Lin Fan was not like that.
She stood there quietly without showing any negative emotions. Her half-drooping eyelids looked a little weak, and her eyes were calm. Only after looking closely could she find that her eyes were full of fatigue. Apart from that, he could hardly see the difference between Lin Fan and a normal person.
Lin Fan glanced at his stretched out hand and slowly took two steps back.
John Wu immediately took his hand back and smiled and said, "Ms. Lin, don't be nervous. I am a staff member of the state organs. This is my work permit."
As he said that, he took out a black leather notebook from the inner bag of the suit and opened it, and reached it for Lin Fan to see.
Lin Fan glanced at him.
This person in the photo is indeed this person.
The name is...Wu John Woo?
I didn't notice this name just now. If she remembered correctly, it should be a famous director, right?
Position: Senior Secret Service Specialist.
Let’s look at the official seal - National Special Functional Firm...
Except for the photos, there is no problem, and it reveals the smell of a liar everywhere.
Seeing Lin Fan silent, Wu smiled and explained, "This name is, I have to say a few more words every time I introduce myself. When I was born, the movie "The True Color of Heroes" was very popular, and my parents liked it very much. I originally wanted to take the protagonist's name, but my father's surname is Wu, so it always feels awkward to change it to the protagonist's name. The director also has the surname Wu. They think that if he can make such a movie, he must be a talented person. I hope that I will become a talented person in the future, so I directly called the director's name."
Lin Fan must have watched "The True Character of Heroes", but he doesn't remember the plot clearly. Is the director Wu Johnson? She only knows now. Is this a little bit more knowledgeable?
"Ms. Lin, let me introduce it to you again. The National Special Function Firm is a regular state organ, formerly the 888 Human Special Function Research Institute, which was established in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China." Seeing that Lin Fan did not respond, Wu continued, "In fact, the people have given us some other names called 'Dragon Group', you may have heard of it."
I have never heard of 888 or something, but the Dragon Group has heard of it several times. But is this organization real? Not made up in the novel? Is this person a little problem?
Lin Fan looked at the smiling John Woo, suspecting that he might have some mental illness.
Seeing that Lin Fan still didn't say anything, Wu continued to try to release his affinity, and smiled and said the purpose of the trip: "We initially suspect that you, Ms. Lin Fan, have special abilities."
