He stayed up almost all night, and Shi Dayong got up as soon as the sky turned slightly white. He also knew that it was still early, so he did not call Zhang Qiang, but put on some clothes and sat on the big stone outside the house to smoke.

It has been three years, and I don’t know what the child has grown into. Has he grown taller? Has he gained weight? Is he still that dark? Shi Dayong’s mind is full of what he looked like when Coco was lost. He was dark and thin, with just a pair of big eyes.

Sliding around.

It is a good thing that the child is not injured, but if a child under five years old falls into the hands of human traffickers, his parents and relatives are not around, and he is in a situation where he is yelling at the sky every day for no response, and the earth and the earth are not working, how much fright does the child have to be?

I don't know how Coco escaped. The more Shi Dayong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and his heart was twisted into a ball.

When the sun jumped above the horizon, Shi Dayong had already thrown away his cigarette butts on the ground. Facing the rising sun, he pursed his lips tightly, sighed deeply, and was about to turn around.

"I didn't sleep well last night. What time did you get up?" Zhang Qiang happened to walk up behind Shi Dayong. He stretched out with a toothbrush in his hand and then put the toothbrush in his mouth.

"Can't sleep, get up and sit down." Shi Dayong took off the clothes he was wearing and put them directly on his right shoulder. He saw that there were already people queuing up in the cafeteria with lunch boxes, and said hurriedly, "I'm going to get some food. Let's eat."

Let’s set off after dinner.”

Zhang Qiang's mouth was full of foam. He muttered vaguely, "Go ahead, go ahead." Then he took a mouthful of water and started gargling.

Li Hua also got up very early. After having breakfast and packing up his belongings, he waited for Shi Dayong in the room. Thinking from his perspective, any parent would not be able to stand still if his child's information was lost. He knew that Shi Dayong would definitely wake up early as well.

come over.

"Bang Bang Bang." There was a knock on the door, and Li Hua opened the door. Unexpectedly, it was Shi Dayong, and there was a man next to him. He was not tall, but his body was unusually strong and strong. There was a familiar determination in his eyes. If he

My guess is good. This person should have military service experience. This person is wearing the same work clothes as Shi Dayong. He should be Shi Dayong's colleague.

Li Hua's eyes paused on Zhang Qiang, and Shi Dayong hurriedly introduced: "This is my colleague and neighbor Zhang Qiang. He is also a fellow villager and has watched the child grow up. I heard that the child has been found. Come with me to have a look.

."

"Oh, Master Zhang, Master Shi, please come in." Li Hua politely invited people into the room, "Please take a seat, please wait a moment, I will check out."

Shi Dayong couldn't sit still. He paced back and forth in the room anxiously. Fortunately, check-out was quick, and Li Hualai called them, "You can go."

Shi Dayong's car stopped at the gate of the guest house. The three of them walked out of the door. Shi Dayong shouted, "Brother Zhang, come on."

Zhang Qiang looked up and saw a black shadow flying towards him. He grabbed it neatly and looked closely to see that it was the car key. When he looked up again, Shi Dayong had already turned over and climbed onto the rear side of the car. "Hey! Dayong." Zhang Qiang was carrying it.

He shook the key and said, "It's better that you get out and drive, and I'll go to the back of the car."

"No need." Shi Dayong grabbed the railing and looked forward, "I'd better stay here, I'm afraid I won't be able to drive for a while."

Zhang Qiang shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "There is no future." After saying that, he shook his head towards Li Hua and said, "Comrade Li, let's get in the car."

"Let's go." Li Hua carried his luggage and opened the cab.

The car left the city and gradually picked up speed. The wind brought by it made Shi Dayong's clothes rustle. He stared straight ahead, and his mind was filled with the scene of being reunited with his children.

Zhang Qiang and Li Hua were chatting happily. Li Hua glanced at Zhang Qiang's straight back and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, Master Zhang is also a soldier."

"That's right!" Zhang Qiang said with admiration on his face, "I would say that you comrades in the police have great eyesight. You can tell at a glance that I have been a soldier."

"Haha, Master Zhang." Li Hua said seriously: "I once read a passage in a book, which said that people who have served as soldiers are like clay turned into pottery, and they will never return to that soil.

In this state, even if it is later broken into pieces, each particle is still hard and still exudes a special brilliance. However, even if the soil is kneaded into shapes and painted with brilliant colors, once it is pressed, it will return to looseness. The gap in the period,

It is an experience of fire. Therefore, as long as a person has been a soldier, no matter how long he has been away from the army, the roots of the soldier have been rooted in his bones and blood, and it can be recognized from his mental state. Master Zhang, I once worked in HN

***Serving in the army, what about you?"

"What a coincidence. I am also in HN, but not in the same army as you. I am an automobile soldier. Comrade Li, what kind of soldier are you?"

"I'm a scout."

"Oh, no wonder you were assigned to the Public Security Bureau. Come on, Comrade Li, are you tired from your usual work? Do you have many cases?"

"It's not bad." When talking about the case, Li Hua pinched his forehead. He was usually so busy that he was dizzy, so coming to the meeting could be regarded as a break.

"Comrade Li, a case like Coco's is not easy to solve." Zhang Qiang turned his head and glanced at Li Hua, then quickly turned his gaze back and continued to look ahead.

"To be honest, it's very difficult. Today happened by chance. Judging from the cases solved in the past, human traffickers will quickly move the location after catching the child. By the time the parents find out that the child is missing, it is already too late and there is little possibility of recovering the child."

Li Hua frowned and continued: "Even if the child is sold to a new environment, basically no one will come to report that anyone is buying and selling people. People generally have little legal awareness, and they don't realize that buying people is also a crime."

"That's right. It would be great if this problem could be solved. Everyone knows the law and knows that buying people is wrong. Who will dare to buy people in the future? And that human trafficker is the most disgusting. If you ask me, if you catch him

Shoot them to death, Tu Lu and others, who dares to traffic in people?"

The two were chatting, and soon the subject of Coco came up. Li Hua recalled the situation at that time and said to Zhang Qiang with a smile: "Ke Ke is really a smart kid. At that time, she said that her home was in the mechanical construction department. I didn't understand. She said

She could write, so I asked her to write down the address. What do you think she did?"

"How to write it?" Zhang Qiang became interested. He really didn't know that Coco could write.

"She didn't know how to write, so she drew a pictogram of a tractor, the character " Zhu" was a pig's head, and the character "chu" was "out". She also told me that her mother taught her to draw the characters she couldn't write first.

Painting instead."

"Hahaha!" As soon as Li Hua finished speaking, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but laugh out loud. He couldn't help but see the self-righteous look of a little girl in front of his eyes. After laughing, he explained for Shi Ke, "The child hasn't gone to school yet and doesn't know much about literacy."

After speaking, he asked: "Is the child going to school now?"

"I'm in the second grade. I study very well. I'm still the best student in the class." When Li Hua had nothing to do, he would go to Zhao Liangsheng's house for a while. He was always aware of Shi Ke's current situation.

"That's great. He's much smarter than my son. My wild boy can do anything. He can run faster than a rabbit. I can't even catch up with him. He just can't study. I'm a rough guy and can't help him in study. But

It worries me to death." Speaking of his son, Zhang Qiang's face wrinkled into a bitter melon.

"Master Zhang, don't worry." Li Hua advised: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. When children grow up, they may not always have to study."

"I think so too. I haven't served enough as a soldier. When my children grow up, I will send them to the army. Just like you just said, let them withstand the experience of fire."

Shi Dayong passed the time like a year. He felt that a long time had passed. He raised his watch and saw that only a few minutes had passed. "Why is it so slow?" He muttered. It was now after 11 o'clock since he set off at 8 o'clock.

, I haven’t seen the shadow of Z City yet. It wasn’t until nearly twelve o’clock that I saw street lights standing on the roadside. Gradually, there were more people and buildings.

It was almost noon, so it was not easy to go directly to Zhao Liangsheng's house at this time. Li Hua had already made plans. He put down his belongings first, and then drove the work jeep to treat the two of them to a meal and take a short rest after the meal.

Going to Xinzhuang again, Li Hua pointed to the traffic light intersection directly in front of him and said, "Master Zhang, we have arrived at City Z. You turn right at the intersection in front of us. I will go back to the work first."

"Are we here?" Zhang Qiang lightly braked and slowed down. The car approached the intersection. Zhang Qiang confirmed again, "Is this a turn?"

"Yes, turn around and walk to the end, which is the compound of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau. You can just drive in when the time comes."

Finally arrived, Shi Dayong jumped out of the car, rubbed his wind-numbed cheeks with both hands, and said with emotion, "We've arrived."

"Master Shi, are you tired from standing?" Li Hua opened the car door and asked with concern.

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired." I couldn't say I was tired. Shi Dayong grinned and felt that his face was dull.

"Let's go to my office for a drink of water and a break. Then I'll treat you two to dinner." Li Hua took the lead and walked into the room with a smile on his face.

"No, no, no, I'm not hungry, no..." Before Shi Dayong could finish his words, Zhang Qiang kicked his leg, thinking: This one can't be lifted.

"If you're not hungry, others aren't hungry either." Zhang Qiang put his mouth to Shi Dayong's ear and whispered: "Please treat me later."

"Oh." Shi Dayong understood immediately. He patted his head and said, "I'm dizzy."

Shi Dayong's care leads to chaos. His whole heart is focused on the upcoming reunion with his child. To be honest, he really doesn't want to wait for a moment, so he is a very smart person and ignores the etiquette he should have.

"Team Li, you're back." It was time to get off work, and colleagues were all carrying their lunch boxes and preparing to go to the canteen. When they met Li Hua, they all greeted him.

"I'm back." Li Hua nodded, and when he met someone he was close to, he playfully patted their big belly, "Eat less, you're fat."

"Sit down, sit down." Li Hua put his luggage on the table, grabbed the kettle and went to fetch water, "Master Zhang, you two sit down first, I will go to the boiler room to fetch a new pot of water."
