"Xiaowei? Is Mingwei here?" Grandpa Shi walked to the door and looked around.
"No, didn't he go back?" Ling Xiaowei asked confused.
Moreover, he has been gone for a long time, how could he still be lost?
Grandpa Shi had a solemn look on his face and said, "He just went back, but he went out again. I thought he came to play with you. Alas..." Grandpa Shi sighed.
Ling Xiaowei heard Grandpa Shi sighing and was worried about Grandpa Shi, "Grandpa Shi, let me help you find Shi Mingwei!"
It was going to be dark that day. Grandpa Shi was old. It would be bad if he slipped and fell.
"Okay, you are such a good boy, thank you grandpa!" Grandpa Shi said sincerely.
Ling Xiaowei went back to the house, took the flashlight at home, and then followed Grandpa Shi out to find Shi Mingwei.
First, I searched near Grandpa Shi's house. After searching around, I couldn't find anyone. It was getting dark and the road was even more difficult to walk.
"Grandpa Shi, why did Shi Mingwei run out again?" We have to know the reason before we can find it.
Grandpa Shi sighed and said, "He ran out because he was angry and unhappy."
Grandpa Shi didn't want to tell Ling Xiaowei that children still didn't understand the matter of adults' divorce.
When Ling Xiaowei heard that she was angry and ran out, she immediately thought of the small island. That place was remote and uninhabited, so it was the best hiding place!
"Grandpa Shi, look over the mountain. I guess Shi Mingwei has gone to the island." Ling Xiaowei turned on the flashlight, shining a beam of dim light in the direction of the island.
"Let's go to the island and have a look!" Grandpa Shi also took a flashlight and walked forward. Ling Xiaowei followed behind, reminding Grandpa Shi to pay attention to his safety under his feet from time to time.
Grandpa Shi was truly moved. He never expected that this child, Ling Xiaowei, could be so considerate.
When they arrived at the island, Ling Xiaowei held up the flashlight in her hand and looked around. With the weak light, she wandered around, "Grandpa Shi, you go look over there, I'll look over there."
"good!"
Grandpa Shi walked eastward, shouting as he walked: "Mingwei!"
Ling Xiaowei went west, near the reed marshes, and there were many trees there. Ling Xiaowei did not dare to go too far, so she looked around with a flashlight and shouted: "Shi Mingwei! Where are you?"
Frogs were everywhere on the island, and Ling Xiaowei's cry was greatly obscured by the frogs. Grandpa Shi's cry was very loud, resounding throughout the island.
Ling Xiaowei walked among the fields and stepped on a piece of grass, startling a swarm of fireflies.
The weather is getting hot, and fireflies have come out. There is no shortage of these bugs in this countryside, but there are not so many fireflies now.
Dots of fireflies were flying all over the sky, and the golden light was flashing, a little brighter than the light of the flashlight in Ling Xiaowei's hand.
If you don't find someone to just watch the fireflies, it would be a fun and enjoyable thing.
"Shi Mingwei! Where have you been hiding?" The light of the flashlight first shone on the reeds, then on the grass, then on the river, and finally on the trees.
The light swept across, and suddenly I saw a figure on the tree! Ling Xiaowei was startled, and she let out a small cry of surprise. After taking a closer look, she saw a lonely figure sitting on the tree pole.
"Hey! Shi Mingwei, come down quickly. Your grandfather is looking for you to go home." Ling Xiaowei held up a flashlight and shined it at Shi Mingwei.
In the tree, Shi Mingwei remained motionless, holding his knees with one hand and leaning against the tree trunk, feeling indescribably lonely.
What happened? During the day, I was as happy as a fool, and now it’s like this!
"Grandpa Shi, I found Shi Mingwei!" Ling Xiaowei shouted to Grandpa Shi in the east.
When grandpa Shi was still looking for someone in the grass, he heard the cry, and the big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground. He rushed over to Ling Xiaowei.
"When..." Ling Xiaowei was about to persuade the person to come down when she suddenly dropped a lot of branches, leaves, and unknown fruits from the tree.
Ling Xiaowei was hit all over her head and face.
"Go away! You have to take care of my business!" Shi Mingwei suddenly became angry. He just wanted to be quiet and be alone.
"Shi Mingwei, you are going too far. You think I want to take care of you. I was worried about Grandpa Shi. I was afraid that Grandpa Shi would fall while walking at night, so I followed you." Ling Xiaowei pulled her hair with her hands, her face filled with anger.
One drum.
At this time, Grandpa Shi came over and shined his flashlight on the tree. When he saw Shi Mingwei, he breathed a big sigh of relief. He said in a serious voice: "Shi Mingwei, get down now, immediately!"
On the tree, Shi Mingwei was motionless! He didn't even turn his head.
"Hey! You brat, you don't even listen to what I say! Get out of here." Grandpa Shi continued to yell.
"Grandpa, please leave me alone. My parents don't care about me anymore. They don't want me anymore..." Shi Mingwei shouted in a tearful voice.
After all, he is still a child of twelve or thirteen years old, the age when he is most greedy for the love of his parents. Suddenly, he cannot accept the news of his parents' divorce.
Ling Xiaowei was slightly surprised. His parents didn't want him anymore? Could it be that his parents also ran away, but when he thought about it, it was wrong. It could only be that his parents were divorced!
...This is quite miserable! But compared to her, it's not that miserable! Since the parents feel at odds, divorce is the best way to make each other happy.
"Mingwei, how could grandpa not care about you! Some things are not what you think. Your parents still love you very much. You come down first." Grandpa Shi's tone was much gentler. He didn't know how to comfort people, and he didn't know how to comfort people.
I don't know how to persuade people.
Being a grandpa is so tiring!
Ling Xiaowei looked at her and said nothing. It was not easy for her to comment on other people's affairs.
But no matter how Grandpa Shi tried to persuade him, Shi Mingwei refused to listen and still sat there motionless.
There were a lot of mosquitoes this night. Ling Xiaowei felt that she had been bitten by mosquitoes several times. She couldn't stand it anymore. Suddenly she thought of a way.
"Hey! Shi Mingwei, there are snakes in your tree! There are so many snakes on this island!" Ling Xiaowei shouted to Shi Mingwei on the tree.
The person who was still motionless at first sat up in fear when he heard Ling Xiaowei's words, then slid down from the tree with a hiss, and asked with a horrified look on his face: "Where is the snake?"
"Little bastard, you finally came down. Are you going to make grandpa mad to death?" Grandpa Shi stepped forward, grabbed Shi Mingwei's ears, and dragged him out of the vegetable field.
Only then did Shi Mingwei realize that he had fallen into Ling Xiaowei's trap. He glared at Ling Xiaowei, she lied to him!
Grandpa Shi led Shi Mingwei to send Ling Xiaowei back. Everyone felt relieved when they saw that Grandpa Shi had found the person. Grandpa Shi was particularly grateful to Ling Xiaowei and said thank you several times before going back.
Shi Mingwei kept his face frozen throughout the whole process, lowered his head and said nothing.
After the young and old of the Shi family left, Ling Xiaowei ate quickly, but she didn't even eat dinner, so she went to find someone.
