After returning from fetching water from the hospital's water room, I didn't see Xiaoxia "smiling like that."
To be honest, that smile feels a little weird.
Damn, it looks a bit like Sadako's smile in a horror movie.
I told Xiaoxuan what happened at the door. Xiaoxuan thought for a while and said: "Well...sometimes people laugh when they are too stimulated because they are too sad. When my dad had an accident, I
I also smiled in front of the mirror."
"That's it...Xiaoxuan, it's been two years since you left Hong Kong, right?"
"Yes, time flies so fast, Yunfeng, I feel like I have changed a lot."
I smiled and said, "Yes, you have become more beautiful, slimmer and more beautiful."
"Tch, you haven't said a single word of truth."
But she still looked happy.
Xiaoxuan patted her bangs and said, "Look, I don't know what's going on, but now I can't control myself and curse people all the time, and sometimes I get violent. Two years ago, I was very well-behaved."
"Are you good?"
"Quickly pull me down. Two years ago, you built a doghouse with red sandalwood and asked your father to send people to beat the teacher. When we first met, you wanted to let the dog bite me. When have you ever behaved?"
Xiaoxuan stuck out her tongue.
She has definitely changed after following us. When she is close to red, she is black, and when she is close to ink, she is red. We always curse, lie, and fight. She has been with us for a long time, and she has also picked up this bad habit.
People will always change with their environment.
So what can I do?
I can't help it, as long as she doesn't hit me.
Pushing the door open and walking in, I put down the kettle and asked with a smile: "How is your recovery going?"
Yuan Bao held Xiaoxia's face and kissed her, with a smile on his face and said: "The doctor said that after a few days of observation, if there is nothing serious, you can go home and recuperate."
"By the way, Yuanbao, on my way back from fetching water just now, the doctor on duty asked you to sign at the front desk. I'll look at it for you for a while. Go quickly."
After hearing what I said about signing, Yuanbao didn't think much and kissed Xiaoxia on the face again before leaving.
I can understand his feeling of regaining something lost.
After Yuan Bao left, I pulled a stool and sat beside the bed.
Xiaoxia was curled up and sitting on the hospital bed, her hands clenched into fists and her body was still shaking a little.
"Xiaoxia, do you still know who I am?"
She looked up at me and nodded.
"Can you briefly describe what happened after you disappeared? Of course, you don't have to say anything you don't want to say."
I was patient and didn't rush her. I waited quietly for her to speak.
Xiaoxia hesitated for a few minutes.
"I... I was digging vegetables at noon that day, and I was... put in a sack. Later, I... I don't know anything anymore."
"Then what?" I asked.
"Then...when I woke up, my hands and feet were tied, and a bald...bald man kicked me in the stomach, hit me in the face, pulled my hair, and stuffed me into a water tank to get water.
Splash on me, and... and..."
She gritted her teeth and didn't want to talk about what happened next.
I frowned and asked, "What do you mean, from the day you disappeared to now, you have only seen the bald man?"
Xiaoxia's lips were chapped, she swallowed, and said with a painful expression: "I...I just remember that I was in a water tank, I don't know if it was day or night, cold and hungry."
I rubbed my face vigorously and thought that something was wrong. There was a detail that was not right.
Brother Yu speculated that Cai Laoliu from the stone factory had been dead for at least five days. If there were no other people, it would be impossible for Xiaoxia to survive for five days without food and water if she was tied up in the tank.
At this time of year, the daytime temperature is over 30 degrees, and the water tank is still covered with a lid. It is possible that there will be no food. If there is no water, I will definitely not survive for five days.
Could it be that...she is lying?
"Xiaoxia, where are you...?" I pointed at her belly.
