What is in front of me is just a four-year-old child.
do not understand anything.
She needs to be patient.
Don't be angry.
…
Qianqian finally calmed down her mood.
She knelt down.
Avoiding the child's hand reaching for the ice cream.
The child became more and more aggrieved.
…
She looked at the child seriously.
Tell the child.
Next time I hear her call...
Be sure to give a response.
Because, mom is looking for Nini.
If Nini doesn't say anything, her mother won't be able to find Nini.
Or it might take a long time to find Nini.
In that case, the ice cream will melt.
Nini has no ice cream to eat.
As soon as she heard that there was no ice cream, the child immediately patted her chest and promised that next time she hears her mother calling her, she will definitely call her mother too.
…
I wonder if ice cream is too tempting to children...
Or is it for other reasons?
This kid really did what he promised.
Except for that one time, whenever she called the child's name, the child would respond to her quickly and loudly.
She is very happy.
Her cry never failed again -
This is how it should be.
But today, her cry was in vain.
She also didn’t know how many times she called the child’s name in less than an hour after discovering that the child was missing.
"Nini...Nini..."
Her screams became louder and louder.
Louder than any time before.
"Nini!"
There seemed to be an echo in her ears.
For a moment, she thought she heard the child's response.
When she turned around with a face full of joy and excitement -
The emptiness behind her also made her expression freeze.
…
"Nini!"
Qianqian didn't know how many times she turned around suddenly...
I don’t know how many times I have experienced the feeling of falling from heaven to hell.
The huge gap almost made her feel nauseous.
She held her belly.
He bent down.
She held on to the nearby trees with one hand.
Moist and rough feel.
She pressed her fingers together forcefully.
There was a dull pain in the nails.
…
"flourishing!"
The ponytail woman and the short-haired woman grabbed Qianqian's hand one by one.
…
Qianqian suddenly came back to her senses.
"……ah?"
…
The dejected look is unbearable.
Qianqian's companions all frowned deeply.
At the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness arose in their hearts.
…
Zhang Bo looked at Zhuge Yun and others.
His pursed lips made his expression look a little serious.
After a few seconds, he looked startled.
"Why?"
…
"What's wrong?"
Zhuge Yun looked away from the woman.
There was a hint of sigh in his voice.
…
"Where's the third child?"
"Where's the third brother?"
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng said almost in unison.
…
"Why?"
Zhuge Yun immediately turned around and looked around.
"The third child..."
"……real……"
"Where are the three old people?"
His search was fruitless, and he was inevitably disappointed on the way back.
He shook his head at the man who looked at him questioningly.
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng, like him, also shook their heads at each other.
Everyone's expressions were gloomy.
But after seeing the worried mother finally appear in sight, everyone cheered up with a tacit understanding.
only……
No matter how energetic they are...
It can't change the facts.
…
The child's mother could hardly hold on anymore.
Everyone could see that the child's mother was on the verge of emotional collapse.
The high-pitched voice was filled with tears and despair.
She asked how could they not find her child?
…
yes.
They also found it strange.
As the child's mother said, there are so many of them.
They looked in all directions.
How could the child not be found?
That child...where did he go?
…
This doubt weighs on everyone's mind.
It also prevented him from immediately discovering such an obvious thing as the third child not coming back on time...
…
but……
"Is there something wrong?"
Zhuge Yun's eyes lit up.
My heart is not worried but happy.
The third child is a very reliable person.
He will not break what he has said.
unless……
Something is holding him back...
But now, the thing that can hinder the third child is the matter of the lost child.
Other things...
The third child is not someone who can be held back by trivial things.
…
"Why?"
Zhang Bo's heartbeat slowly accelerated.
"You mean..."
…
"possible."
Zhuge Yun didn't finish his words.
He glanced at the people not far away who were in a depressed atmosphere, and lowered his voice a bit.
Don't let them hear anything that's uncertain.
Otherwise, people will have their hopes up but they will be disappointed...
This is not good.
"It's just speculation."
"You also know that Lao San will do whatever he promises."
"We all agreed before when we would come back."
According to the temperament of the third child, he will never be late.
However……
"It's almost ten minutes late now, and the third child hasn't come back yet..."
"Something must have happened."
"What do you think could happen to the third child?"
…
Zhang Bo clenched his fist vigorously.
I felt a little uncontrollable excitement in my heart.
"It would be great if it were true..."
…
"Shh."
Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng were in sync with each other and both made silent gestures.
Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng looked at each other.
Then there was a small fist bump.
…
Zhang Bo:……
"What?"
…
"What else?"
Zhuge Yun rolled his eyes.
"Brother, please speak softer."
"These are just speculations on our part."
"Guessed it right."
"Everyone is happy."
"What if I guess wrong?"
"It's possible that the third child delayed his return due to other matters."
…
"The child's mother is already very emotionally fragile."
Zhao Luzheng continued.
"Can't withstand the ups and downs."
"If she knew our guess now, she would definitely have great hopes."
"But the third brother came back and said he didn't find the child..."
…
"What do you think will happen?"
Zhuge Yun gave Zhang Bo another look.
"People are going to collapse."
"and……"
The third child, and they are likely to become the target of the other party's anger.
It's not that he thinks bad things about people.
It's just human nature.
If it were him, he would probably do the same thing.
…
Zhuge Yun said vaguely.
But Zhang Bo already fully understood what Zhuge Yun meant.
He knocked on his head.
"I see."
It was him who was reckless.
Sometimes good intentions may not bring good results.
Even people with good intentions can do bad things.
At this time, the mother of the child does not need to make specious guesses.
What she needs is to really see her child appear in front of her.
…
"Shh!"
Zhuge Yun suddenly signaled the two of them to be quiet.
He turned his head and looked in one direction.
"there's noise."
…
ah?
Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng suddenly turned to look in the direction Zhuge Yun was looking.
