After listening to what the little boy said, Ma Long didn't react for a moment and muttered again: "What did you say?"
The little boy timidly pointed to the mobile phone in Ma Long's hand. Perhaps thinking that Ma Long didn't hear clearly, he raised his voice slightly and said again in very standard English: "You are not looking for the person in the photo on the mobile phone.
People? I know where they are."
"Really?!" Ma Long was ecstatic and grabbed the little boy's thin shoulders, "Do you really know where they are? Are they all okay?"
The little boy was so frightened that he shrank his neck again and tried to break away from Ma Long's hands, but Ma Long was not strong enough for him to break free. So he nodded in panic and fear, and was too frightened to speak.
When Ma Long saw the little boy's reaction, he knew that he had scared him again. So he quickly retracted his hand, opened the phone in his hand, placed it in front of his eyes, and asked expectantly: "Look carefully, is it her?"
"
The little boy only glanced at the phone screen, then rubbed his shoulder that was pinched by Ma Long and whispered: "Yes, it's them."
"Great! Take me to see them quickly!" Ma Long was elated, never expecting that the child he had accidentally saved would become the key. "Are they all okay?"
The little boy nodded, then turned around and led the way forward.
On the way, Sun Fu couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Hey, kid, we just saved you, why did you scare away again? Are we just like bad guys?" Sun Fu felt strange about the little boy's behavior.
If he was scared, why did he come back to help them find the person they were looking for? His behavior puzzled Sun Fu.
The little boy paused and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you here to find my father?"
Ma Long and Sun Fu looked at each other, confused at the same time. Sun Fu knew that Ma Long was looking for someone, but he didn't know who he was looking for. After hearing what the little boy said, he thought that one of the people Ma Long was looking for was the little boy's father.
.And Ma Long agreed to suspect Sun Fu.
You know, among the people Ma Long came to find, there was only one man - Fan Yong. And according to what Ma Long knew, Fan Yong had no children at all, let alone a child of this Western race.
Both of them shrugged in confusion, and then Ma Long said: "We are not here to find your father. Don't worry."
Sun Fu showed his thirst for knowledge and curiosity again and asked: "Is someone looking for trouble with your father? Why are they looking for your father?"
As expected, the little boy fell silent on this question and said nothing.
Ma Long thought that he was an outsider, and judging from the little boy's reaction, his father seemed to be avoiding his enemies again and should be hiding in this place. It seems that his father, Shen Bingbing, Fan Yong and others ran to
They must have come here to avoid trouble for the same purpose. At the same time, they thought that the surrounding villagers were tight-lipped about where Shen Bingbing and others lived. Could it be to protect them?
No, no, Ma Long quickly gave up this conjecture. The original residents here were very xenophobic and would not be so kind. There must be other reasons, but they are definitely not good things.
Just when Ma Long was full of doubts, Sun Fu took out the chocolate from the backpack behind him at some point, handed it to the little boy, and then tried to trick him.
With Sun Fu's sweet words and the temptation of delicious food, the little boy finally let go of his guard and talked about his life with his father.
"My father and I lived here to avoid our enemies. My father was a drug dealer. He was hunted down because he secretly resold a batch of goods without turning over the money to his boss. Over the years, we have
Hiding in Tibet, I finally came here as my base and lived a stable life. But I am still afraid that my enemies will come to my door." The little boy said simply while eating delicious chocolate.
"Then why did those kids bully you just now?" Sun Fu asked curiously.
The little boy finished the chocolate in his hand, asked for another piece, and then said briefly: "Because we invaded the place where they live, the people here are very repulsive to outsiders, so they often bully me."
After Sun Fu's question was answered, he simply rewarded the little boy with the bait - a box of chocolates in his hand. The little boy reached out and took it, with a rare smile on his face.
But the doubts in Ma Long's heart had not yet been answered. Before the little boy finished eating the chocolate, he quickly asked: "Then we asked the people we were looking for along the way. Why did the villagers turn around and leave without saying anything after seeing the photos?"
Woolen cloth?"
The little boy's mouth chewing chocolate suddenly stopped, and even his steps slowed down. He paused, as if he was struggling internally, hesitated for a while, and then shook his head vigorously: "You saw them, you can
Go ahead and ask, I dare not tell."
Ma Long was wondering, what is there that he dare not say? Is it because he didn't give him anything to eat, so he didn't want to answer his question?
Sun Fu continued Ma Long's question and asked: "The villagers don't lead the way for us, so why did you come out to lead the way for us?"
Faced with Sun Fu's question, the boy actually answered: "Because you saved me just now, I will help you again. My father gave it to me, and I want to repay my kindness."
"What a good father." Sun Fu smiled and rubbed the child's head, thinking that although he was a drug dealer, this kind of loyalty was worthy of approval, and he hoped that the child would take the right path in the future.
Ma Long saw that the little boy didn't answer any of his questions, but Sun Fu was able to answer all his doubts, which further confirmed his guess. Without delicious food as bait, it would be difficult to get the little boy in front of him to speak.
Soon, the three of them passed through a small forest and entered a piece of deforested land. A wooden house suddenly appeared on the yellow land. Next to the house, there was a small bamboo house.
The little boy stopped, pointed to the cabin, and said, "They have been living here all this time. You go, I'm leaving."
When Ma Long finally arrived at his destination and was about to see Shen Bingbing, he was so excited that he forgot to thank the little boy for his guidance and walked towards the cabin.
Sun Fu wisely waited outside without following him, leaving Ma Long alone to meet the people he wanted to see.
With a feeling of anxiety, excitement and expectation, Ma Long slowly opened the wooden door of the cabin and saw a dark muzzle pointed directly at his cheek...
