"Water...water..." Xiaoxi's little face was flushed. She opened her eyes in a hazy state, and could vaguely see the shaking figure. She murmured, "Mom, water..."
The boss's wife's eyes were red, she touched her hot forehead, helped her sit up half-way, and muttered: "It's warm, take small sips and drink slowly..." Watching her thirsty, she drank most of the glass of water.
, and then let her lie down again.
With the source of life, Xiaoxi sighed loudly in comfort, licked the remaining water droplets at the corner of his mouth, turned around wrapped in the quilt, buried his head in the pillow, curled up and continued to sleep deeply.
The landlady looked at her insecure sleeping position and was so distressed that she shed tears. She didn't know what she had done. Such a young child had to wander alone. If she hadn't found something wrong and came to her early, she would have pointed out something.
No matter how much punishment he will suffer!
She thought of the missing person notice on her phone, and her eyes darkened a bit.
Unknowingly, the heavy snow falling outside gradually stopped. The entire county was wrapped in silver frost, solemn and solemn.
At the entrance of the museum, Yu Yinyin got out of the car and walked in with the help of her assistant. She accidentally glanced at the old hotel, which was still dimly lit, and frowned unconsciously, followed by her eyelids twitching twice.
Suddenly, she stopped.
The assistant asked in confusion: "Professor, what's wrong?"
Yu Yinyin felt like her heart suddenly sank, but upon closer inspection she didn't find anything wrong. She shook her head and smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's go in."
The screen of a black mobile phone suddenly lit up with colorful lights. It flashed for several minutes before reluctantly returning to silence in the handbag...
Beijing, Yujia Restaurant.
"There's a call - there's a call -" A sharp ringtone suddenly rang in the heavy kitchen. Yu Jianguo glanced at it with interest. It was an unfamiliar foreign number. He picked up without any hope: "Who is this?
?”
The landlady was startled by the lifeless tone on the other side, and then went back to check her mobile phone number. That’s right——
Then he asked cautiously: "Excuse me, are you looking for a little girl?"
Yu Jianguo was shocked, looked at the phone in disbelief, and answered anxiously: "Yes, yes, her name is Yu Jian, have you met her?!"
"I don't know what her real name is. She said her name is Xiaoxi."
Creek?
Li Yuanxi!
Yes, Ah Jian mentioned this name in the letter. It turned out that it wasn't that they couldn't find her, but that they simply went in the wrong direction! This child even abandoned Yu Jian's name and stubbornly used her original name!
"That's right, that's right, that's the right name! Where is she? How are you doing now? Give me the address and we'll come right away..." Yu Jianguo had never spoken so fast in his life, spouting out words in a rush.
Voice.
The landlady laughed twice: "I'm afraid it's not good..."
Yu Jianguo's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his voice trembled: "What...what happened?" He closed his eyes and took a few heavy breaths, and his throat became dry.
…
"Did you take medicine?"
"I've fed it, but the fever still doesn't go away..."
"I brought alcohol here, you help her up and cool her down physically!"
Xiao Xi felt that he was about to burn up, and the breath coming out of both nostrils was thick and hot, just like the mutton kebabs that were tumbling on the charcoal stove yesterday, and were roasted thoroughly inside and out.
A cold handkerchief covered her forehead, and then the cold touch spread to her limbs, body, and back of her neck. After a while, she finally felt that the carbon blocks in the charcoal furnace had been extinguished for a long time, leaving only
The warm residual warmth.
Opening her eyes, she faced two faces with distressed and concerned faces. She was a little stunned for a moment, unable to tell where she was.
"Isn't this child crazy because of the fever? I am the boss's wife, do you still recognize me?" The boss's wife stretched out her five fingers and waved them in front of her eyes, trying to arouse her attention.
Yu Yinyin patted her hand lightly, "Don't scare her." I heard from the older generation that children's spirits are unstable for a moment after having a fever. At this time, they have to be allowed to return to their original position slowly. The outside world
If the sound is too loud, it will startle you.
The landlady retracted her hand with a "swish" sound, but her eyes were even more worried. Could it be that... she was really burned out, right?
"Grandma Yu...?" Xiaoxi's rolling eyes finally came into focus. She licked her chapped lips and mouthed words silently. It wasn't that she didn't want to make a sound, her throat was hoarse due to the long-term high fever.
When I move my mouth, my throat feels like it is being cut with a knife.
Yu Yinyin quickly held her hand: "It's me, it's me, good boy, please stop talking and drink some water."
With Yu Yinyin's hand, Xiaoxi drank another half cup of water. Her throat finally felt much more comfortable, but her voice was still a little hoarse. At first glance, it sounded like a castrated male duck. She asked: "Grandma Yu
, Boss lady, why are you here?"
"You're still talking about it! I felt something was wrong with you yesterday, and I ran away just as I was about to remind you. I saw you didn't come to the store this morning, so I came over quickly to have a look... Did you know that you've been burning for a day and a night?!" The landlady ordered.
He tapped her forehead and said angrily, "Well, when I came here, the two at home used you as a hand warmer!" He lightly kicked the little black cat who came forward with his toes, and there was a funny look of disgust on the corner of his mouth.
Hearing this, Xiaoxi suddenly opened the quilt and was about to get up, which made the landlady exclaim: "What are you doing! What are you going to do?"
Xiaoxi smiled awkwardly: "I...I haven't fed the cats yet, they must be hungry..."
The landlady was so angry that she pointed at the stream and was speechless for a long time. Finally, she threw her hands away angrily and said through gritted teeth: "I really can't do anything about you. I can't even take care of myself. I'm still thinking about the two little ones! Lie down!"
Come on, I'll feed you!"
As soon as he heard the word "hello", Xiao Hei ignored his master who had just woken up and immediately followed the pace of his predecessors.
In the room, only Yu Yinyin and Xiao Xi were left.
Yu Yinyin looked at her face that was still rosy and smiled slightly: "You sent Gu Li away because you have something to tell me alone?"
Xiaoxi bit her lip and nodded: "Professor Yu, please don't tell the capital about me for the time being..."
Professor Yu?
Yu Yinyin laughed angrily at her title. She hinted to Xiaoxi to look at her current appearance and said: "Yu Jian, you are not a child anymore. Do you know how worried everyone is if you leave home rashly? Your parents
After crying all day long, Guan Shanyue was so anxious that he relapsed and lay in the hospital for more than a month. Others, too, were trying their best to find traces of you. If you were living a good life outside, that would be a different matter.
But look at yourself..."
Yu Yinyin's tone gradually became colder, and she raised her lips dissatisfiedly: "Is this how you take care of yourself?"
Xiaoxi lowered his head and remained silent.
But then I heard Yu Yinyin continue to say: "No one in the Yu family I know can escape. No matter how bad the environment is, no matter how powerful the opponents are, no matter how small they are, they still maintain the courage to fight against everything. And you... I really see it.
