The garden, which had been quiet all day, was still dull, with almost no human sounds.
Cheng Huanran knocked on the study door and whispered: "Mom, I'm back after seeing Aunt Cong off. She said she would come over to stay with you tomorrow morning so that you can rest early."
"Hmm." Xue Ling held her head tiredly and asked, "Your dad...hasn't you replied yet?"
Cheng Huanran shook his head: "No."
After hearing this, Xue Ling couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his tone full of worry.
"I don't know what's going on now..."
Cheng Huanran advised: "Mom, Brother Duoduo sent a message saying that they are safe, which proves that they are safe and sound. The signal at sea is extremely poor, and it cannot be connected at all times."
Xue Ling rubbed her temples and asked, "Has your grandma gone to bed?"
"Sleeping." Cheng Huanran told the truth: "I took a little medicine to calm her nerves, otherwise the old man would definitely not be able to sleep. She is too low in energy and her blood pressure is unstable, so we can't let her hold on."
Xue Ling sighed and nodded, and asked, "Where are your grandparents? Their blood pressure is also normal?"
"It's roughly normal." Cheng Huanran replied: "But their spirits are very low. They sleep and wake up and always ask if Xiaoxin is back. They are highly nervous and look very bad."
"You continue to ask for leave and stay at home." Xue Ling ordered: "There are many elderly people at home, so we must not let anything happen to them. I also asked the family doctor to stay at home to help. You must also stay at home."
"Yes." Cheng Huanran nodded: "Uncle Ah Huan approved me to take three days' leave. By the way, uncle just called again to ask."
Xue Ling raised an eyebrow and asked, "He didn't tell anyone, did he? Your uncle Zhilan is not in good health recently, so we can't let him worry. Also, don't let your aunt and A Heng know."
"Okay." Cheng Huanran agreed, but whispered anxiously: "Mom, will my uncle, uncle, and aunt blame you in the future? Such a big thing cannot be hidden sooner or later."
Xue Ling shook his head calmly: "I can't help. I'm just worried and frightened. People of our age are already in decline, and they can no longer withstand severe blows. I don't know what's going on, but they can still
Eat well and sleep well, recuperate from illness, take care of patients, work as usual, everything is as usual. If they find out, they can only be like us, helpless, worried, and scared to the point of mental failure. What?
Nothing can be done. Everyone has their own work and life, don't change the track easily, otherwise it will only add to chaos."
Xiaoxin and Sister Achun were kidnapped to a small island in the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away, with an unknown destination and a long journey.
Even if everyone knew about it, it would only add worry and concern to everyone, and it would not help at all. It would only increase confusion and pain. It would be better to let them know later, because she firmly believed that there would be good news soon.
"Tomorrow morning at the latest..." Xue Ling squinted at the Pacific Ocean on the map and murmured: "I guess there will be definite news tomorrow morning at the latest. It won't be too late for us to tell everyone when the good news comes. Now.
I can’t say, let them have a good sleep tonight.”
At this time, Xue Yang came, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Mom! Mr. Qi's assistant called... and said that Third Sister Qi wants to see you and hopes to come to the garden to have an interview with you."
Cheng Huanran raised his eyebrows and snorted: "What are we talking about now? Shouldn't we go find her son and ask him to be released as soon as possible and come back?! When Xiaoxin was injured, our family had already given them face.
It’s impossible to give it again! Mr. Qi is different. He is Xiaoxin’s master, so we discuss it with him in advance because we respect him very much. What do you want to interview? No one comes back unscathed, so there is no need to talk about anything.
!”
Xue Yang rolled his eyes, approving his brother's words in his heart.
"But after all, it is our mother who they want to see, and I have to make the decision on my own."
Xue Ling whispered tiredly: "No, there is nothing to talk about. Please tell her assistant, I just want my daughter and Sister Achun to come back safe and sound, and nothing else."
"Hey!" Xue Yang ran out.
Cheng Huanran stepped forward and held his mother's arm.
"Mom, you're not in good spirits, you'd better go to bed and lie down."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "Your Aunt Cong chatted with me during the day. Maybe it was because of the shift in attention. My whole body relaxed a lot and my head didn't feel heavy. Now I feel dizzy and feel uncomfortable again."
Cheng Huanran massaged her shoulders and explained: "You didn't eat much all day yesterday, and you can't eat much today. We are like steel and rice. If we don't eat, how can we get the energy to stay healthy? It happened to be very hot yesterday. You ran in
I got heat stroke after running away. How can I not feel uncomfortable if I have a heart attack and heat stroke?"
"Alas..." Xue Ling sighed quietly.
After a while, Xue Yang came back.
"Mom, I did what you said. The assistant apologized and said I was sorry, but I didn't say anything and just hung up."
Cheng Huanran helped Xue Ling stand up and said in a deep voice: "Very good, this is what you have to do!"
Xue Yang held the phone and muttered: "It's still quiet."
"Go take care of grandpa and grandma." Xue Ling sighed: "I'm fine, I'll just lie down for a while."
Cheng Huanran said: "I'll go. Second brother, you stay with mom."
"Yeah." Xue Yang helped his mother back to the room.
Xue Ling frowned slightly and asked: "By the way, why didn't I seem to see the third child all afternoon? Where has he been?"
These are troubled times, and she must not let anything happen to her family again. At this moment, whenever she thinks of the words "missing" or "can't be found," she can't help but feel panicked and palpitated.
Xue Yang replied: "He has been in the room all the time. I don't know what he was doing. When you drove Xiao Huzi to accompany Shanyou, he ran out to get some water and almost poured water on Xiao Huzi."
"Oh oh oh! I remembered... just stay at home." Xue Ling reminded: "Tell the security guard at the front and back gates that no one else is allowed to enter or leave the garden at will except for you in the past two days."
"Okay." Xue Yang responded.
Xue Ling was covered with a thin quilt, her face was pale, she was dizzy, and she didn't fall asleep for a long time.
She got up, drank a few sips of cold water, and felt a little better.
Xue Yang, who was watching the screen of his mobile phone, rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Mom, tell me - did Brother Tietou ask the mysterious pirate organization for help? I quietly sent a message to Brother Duoduo, but he didn't reply.
, I don’t know if I received it.”
"Don't ask." Xue Ling scolded in a low voice: "Don't make random guesses about things you don't know. Son, there are so many things in this world that we don't know. Firstly, it's impossible to know, and secondly, we can't know."
"Oh." Xue Yang had no choice but to answer obediently, poked his mother's phone and reminded: "Aunt Wang Qing said she would come over tomorrow morning, the message she just sent."
Xue Ling shook his head: "Please help me get back - tell her not to come over. It's important to take care of Shan You during confinement. As long as there is good news, we will notify them immediately."
"Oh." Xue Yang clicked on the screen and muttered: "Aunt Wang Qing cries too easily. She will definitely cry non-stop when she comes..."
