People without hope are like a pool of stagnant water in their hearts, while for those who have hope but fall into despair, the stagnant water in their hearts has also dried up, leaving only an eternal desert that can drain their souls.
"I understand, and I also know the seriousness of this matter. I will definitely tell my father the truth, so that he will take it seriously, and let the entire national system take it seriously. This kind of thing can't happen again."
Su Ming gritted her teeth and said fiercely. Her eyes fell on Abobula who was being handcuffed by Wu Haijun and others. There seemed to be blazing fire burning in her eyes.
Wu Haijun and others pressed the five people and walked past Long Yingxiao. Long Yingxiao and Abobul made eye contact, and Long Yingxiao said:
"I don't know if I can handle it next time something like this happens again. I just know that I can handle it this time."
After Long Yingxiao talked to Albert, he remembered a story from a reading question he did in elementary school.
In the morning after the storm, a man went for a walk on the beach. While walking along the beach, he discovered that there were many shallow puddles on the beach. Many small fish that were brought to the coast by the storm last night were trapped in the shallow puddles and could not return to the sea.
's embrace.
Although it is said that we can help these small fishes go back with our hands, there are too many small fishes, probably thousands of them. And within a short time, the water in the shallow puddles will seep into the sand and be destroyed by the sun.
Evaporate, and these small fish will also be dried to death due to loss of water source.
The man continued walking, but found a little boy in front of him. Every time the little boy passed a shallow puddle, he would bend down to pick up the small fish in the water and throw them back into the sea.
The little boy didn't stop. After watching for a while, the man finally couldn't help but persuade him: "There are thousands of small fish in the shallow pool, and you can't save them."
The boy continued the sacred work in his hands and said lightly:
"I know."
"Now that you know it, why are you throwing it away? Who cares?"
The boy answered as he picked up a small fish and threw it into the sea:
"This little fish cares, this one cares, this one cares, and this one, this one, this one..."
The boy's stubborn voice seemed to ring in Long Yingxiao's heart, yes, maybe you don't care, but I do.
"Kekeke..."
The child's clear laughter brought Long Yingxiao back to reality. Mo Ziling handed the child into Wu Haijun's hands. Wu Haijun was obviously not very good at holding children, so he handed the child over to an accompanying policewoman.
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, why did you come to Yutian suddenly?"
Long Yingxiao suddenly remembered something and asked.
Su Ming looked around, leaned into Long Yingxiao's ear, and whispered:
"My father asked me to come here. We can't just watch you kids take this risk. Although we can't directly participate in it, it's okay to give you some help secretly."
After Long Yingxiao heard this, he did not show a relieved expression. Instead, he frowned and said:
"It's better to be careful. Although I am sure that the Evil Dragon Emperor will not make too much fuss about this, but don't contact us too closely. The black dragon evil warrior following us is not a simple person. Be careful.
Take Ziyang as the most important thing.”
"Well, you are right. But, where is the black dragon evil warrior now?"
When Su Ming said this, she covered her mouth with her hand.
Long Yingxiao shook his head and said:
"I don't know, no one knows where he is, but I always feel that he is not monitoring us now. Hey, maybe I can't feel it. If I encounter any difficulties in the future, I will contact you. Remember not to take the initiative.
Find us."
"Well, okay, then I'll go with them too."
Su Ming looked at Wu Haijun who was waving to her, nodded with Long Yingxiao, and was about to leave.
"Okay, be more careful and watch your children." Halfway through Long Yingxiao's words, his phone suddenly vibrated.
"Okay, you go first, we are leaving too."
Long Yingxiao looked at the phone screen and saw the call from Shao Tianhan.
"Ying Xiao, we are already here. Why are there police cars here? Did you do something bad and they are here to arrest you?"
After saying this, Long Yingxiao curled his lips helplessly and replied:
"Okay, stop being poor, we'll come out right now."
The police car had already driven away, and a black SUV parked quietly at the door.
With.
"Hey, we even got an off-road vehicle."
Long Yingxiao didn't expect that they would bring a car to pick him and Mo Ziling up, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The rented Mitsubishi Pajero is just big enough for the seven of us."
Long Yingxiao and Mo Ziling sat in the back, and Shao Tianhan in the passenger seat said again.
"Fortunately it's not a Mercedes-Benz, otherwise I would have to check whether the engine is leaking oil before driving."
Long Yingxiao and Shao Tianhan, who turned to joke with him, looked at each other and smiled.
It was Lin Muping who was driving, not Shao Tianhan, which made Long Yingxiao breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, Mu Ping."
"Set off."
Just when Long Yingxiao was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, Shao Tianhan curiously asked Long Yingxiao what happened to them.
Long Yingxiao had no need to hide anything and simply restated the matter.
"...That's it. I asked Su Ming to watch them. There should be no problem."
"I didn't expect that there would be police forces behind this incident."
After Long Yingxiao finished speaking, even Shao Tianhan, who had been laughing and joking, said with a serious face.
"Fortunately, the child who was kidnapped is not old yet. If he is already sensible, I don't know how he will feel when he sees the people's patron saint become like this. Maybe after this incident, his psychological disorder will also be
It just appeared. If PTSD appears, his life will be ruined."
"PTSD? What is this?"
After hearing Long Yingxiao's words, Mo Ziling turned to look at Long Yingxiao and asked.
“Post-traumatic stress disorder, referred to as PTSD, is post-traumatic stress disorder. This disorder refers to an individual experiencing, witnessing or encountering one or more actual deaths involving themselves or others, or being threatened with death, or
Delayed onset and persistence of mental disorder in an individual due to severe injury or threat to physical integrity.”
Before Long Yingxiao could answer, Lin Muping, who was driving, slowly answered.
"To put it simply, once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. However, the consequences of post-traumatic stress disorder may be much more serious than being bitten by a snake."
Long Yingxiao looked at Mo Ziling, who was still a little confused, and explained.
"is it so serious?"
Mo Ziling was still a little confused and asked again.
"Yes, absolutely."
Although Lin Muping was still driving, he turned his head to look at Mo Ziling and said:
"In the two years I have been in Keino, I have met many extremely vicious people. Many of them are actually PTSD patients."
"Oh, that's it. Fortunately, the child is still young."
Mo Ziling was obviously not too interested in this topic anymore and asked again:
"Ying Xiao, have you long thought that Ai Bo was wrong?"
"Yes, when I first saw him, I felt something was wrong with him."
Long Yingxiao's eyes instantly turned cold, and he stared ahead and said.
"First sight? Why."
Mo Ziling didn't understand that no matter how powerful Long Yingxiao was, even if Long Yingxiao could judge other people's personalities through the type of facial features or some other expressions, he should not be able to tell at the first glance that Ai Bo was not good.
La’s relationship with Abriz and others.
"why why why?"
Long Yingxiao turned his head to look at Mo Ziling, but suddenly laughed. Long Yingxiao's smile was ugly and a little weird. Mo Ziling couldn't see any happiness on his face.
Such a smile made Mo Ziling feel very uncomfortable. She subconsciously moved her body and sat a little further away from Long Yingxiao.
Seeing Mo Ziling's action, Long Yingxiao felt a chill in his heart. Then he seemed to remember that his performance just now was a bit inappropriate. He curled up the left corner of his mouth, leaned his head on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and laughed at himself.
said:
"There is no reason. Because... what if... I have experienced something like this... or... something similar?"
What Long Yingxiao said was a little illogical, but everyone's focus was not on that, but on the literal meaning of the sentence itself.
Lin Muping didn't have any big reaction, but his eyes were more or less different than before. Shao Tianhan's eyes widened, looking at Long Yingxiao, but he didn't
She knew what to say. Mo Ziling was also confused by this sentence, because she didn't know what Long Ying Xiaozhi's experience was. Was the child kidnapped, or the police couldn't be trusted? But no matter what it was,
This must not be a pleasant feeling.
Mo Ziling stretched out her left hand and gently held Long Yingxiao's right hand. Long Yingxiao's body trembled slightly, but there was no other reaction.
Seeing this, Mo Ziling held his hand firmly, trying to soothe Long Yingxiao's cold heart with his warm palm.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit silent, and no one spoke anymore. Just like this, an hour later, Long Yingxiao and others finally arrived at the village closest to Ashikule - Arelik Village.

"Dad, Dad, where are you? Dad..."
A boy who looked to be only five or six years old fell down in the heavy rain. He struggled to sit up and shouted loudly.
"Don't be afraid, kid, the police are here..."
A man in police uniform picked him up and said.
"Uncle, can you help me find my father?"
The rain blurred his vision, and the boy's bright eyes blinked slightly, trying to see everything in front of him clearly.
"Okay, as long as you tell uncle, where is the Seven Stars and Nine Swords?"
The man's smile seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hells. After the boy saw this smile, he felt that the rain on his body was not so cold anymore, because his body was already colder than the rain.
"Uncle...you"
The boy's eyes were wide open. He couldn't believe that the police were also...
Chi!
The sound of a sharp weapon entering the body was heard, and the man in front of him already had a long sword at the back of his chest.
puff!
The long sword was drawn out, and the man's body immediately fell down and fell into the rain with a "thud" sound.
After wiping away the blood that sprayed on the boy's face, the man holding the sword said softly:
"Ying Xiao, you have to remember that no one in this world, including me, can be trusted. The only one you can trust is yourself."
The boy was still a little confused, and the disbelief on his face was obvious, but he still nodded. As for whether he understood, he still had many opportunities to prove it.
----
"Sister, let's go, I'll take you out of here."
The boy took the arm of a young woman in her twenties and wanted to take her away.
"No, no, no, I can't escape. I've escaped before, but I can't escape."
Although the woman looked neatly dressed, her hair was a little messy, and her eyes showed a look of despair.
"Why?"
The boy still didn't understand and asked persistently.
"What can't be escaped, what can't be escaped, what can't be escaped."
The woman seemed to be talking to herself, or just mechanically repeating an "inescapable" thought.
"We will take you out and call the police to arrest all the bad guys who have hurt you. Don't be afraid, sister."
The boy still refused to give up and held the woman's hand tighter and tighter, as if he had to take her away.
"Police? Do you know who caught me when I escaped last time? It was those policemen!"
When the woman said this, her eyes became sharp. She was already a little crazy. She shook off the boy's hand, squatted down and held her head, and kept repeating one sentence.
"What can't be escaped, what can't be escaped, what can't be escaped..."
After the boy heard the woman's words, he was also stunned on the spot. The hand that was thrown away by the woman was still raised in the air. Just as the boy was about to say something, he was picked up by a man from behind. After the man picked him up, he ran
Gotta go fast.
Everything within sight is fading away, including the dilapidated village and the lonely and helpless woman.
"No, Dad, Dad, save her, take her away, save her..."
The boy struggled hard in the man's arms, tears already bursting out of his eyes.
"Ying Xiao, the pursuers are here again, we have to leave. As for her, we can't save her."
The man's voice was a little tired, but more importantly, he was deeply helpless.
Can't be saved, can't be saved, can't be saved...
The father's voice still echoed in the boy's mind. The boy slowly calmed down, but his face became colder and colder. The coldness that should never appear at this age was vividly displayed.
