The little girl hugged her mother's arm in fear, and the mother consciously held the little girl's little hand tighter.
This mother and daughter were people Luo Qiu had met on the train to St. Petersburg.
They are a family telling stories...and now, the male head of the family is missing.
It was evening, the wind was strong outside, and it was even cooler as it was right on the lake, but the lights in the hut and the soft sofas inside seemed to give the mother a little warmth.
She was surprised to meet the young man she had met on the train in this place, but her husband's disappearance completely overshadowed this subtle surprise.
"We were originally going to cross the mountain road here and then go to my husband's hometown. On the way, he planned to get off the car for convenience and let us stay in the car... But it took half an hour and he didn't come back. I could only get off
I went to look for him in the car, but..."
The girl's mother covered her face in pain and sobbed: "I only found the phone he threw on the ground."
"Have you called the police?" Among the young people, Ryan was the first to speak after listening.
The girl's mother shook her head, took out her mobile phone and said: "I don't know why, but it keeps showing that it is disconnected from the server... I have a child with me and I don't know what to do, so I had to ask for help."
Several young people looked at each other. Ellie took out her mobile phone and said in shock: "I can't receive the signal either."
"Mine too." Gloria also looked down at her phone.
"Me too."
"I also……"
Seeing that the four Ryans were looking at him at the same time, Luo Qiu threw out his cell phone, shook his head and said, "I think mine is too."
"Isn't there a server here?" Ryan said in shock: "But just before I entered the door, my network was still usable. When did it..."
"Now we are not thinking about the signal, but how to help this lady." Ai Li suddenly bit her thumb and said: "By the way, Mr. Luo Qiu, do you have any other communication tools here? What I'm talking about is
Cable phone."
"Sorry, no."
Luo Qiu suddenly stood up and said: "Depending on the situation, we can only wait for the communication to be restored naturally, or wait until dawn. If the communication cannot be restored, then go out and ask the police for help. Of course, if the missing gentleman did not have an accident,
, if you can still find this place by yourself, that would be the best."
"There are so many of us, can we go out and help search now..." Ryan suddenly raised his hands and said enthusiastically. He just looked at the eyes of his companion Bolehan and suddenly lowered his voice: "I just suggested
one time."
For the girl's mother, perhaps she desperately needed any kind of help. At this time, she even looked at everyone with longing eyes.
At this time, Gloria subconsciously looked at the night outside the living room, reached out and touched her arm, and hesitated: "Are there really no more places for people to live around here?"
The girl's mother's eyes suddenly dimmed... It was right to think that she might be in danger, especially in this situation where someone is missing.
She knew not to force anything.
"Mrs. Maggie, do you still remember the location of your husband's disappearance?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind the dinner table.
Alex.
"I remember!"
Alex wiped his lips with the napkin on the dining table, then stood up and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, I can accompany you back to the original place to search."
"I, I can also help." Ryan took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand.
It's like he mustered up the courage.
Vaguely, Ellie's eyes seemed to brighten a little. Seeing that Ryan had already spoken, Bolehan frowned and suddenly stood up and said: "Then, I will go with you too. More people are better than one less person.
. But Gloria and Ellie will stay here for the time being, right?"
It seems that it has been decided.
The girl's mother, Mrs. Maggie, Alex, Blehan, and Lane returned to the place where her husband disappeared again.
Although she was a little worried, Maggie still chose to leave her daughter in the cabin...perhaps because she had met this young man once on the train, or maybe she felt that the little girl needed it more now.
The reason for a safe place.
Mrs. Maggie seemed to have made a lot of determination when she made this decision.
"Then, I hope the goddess of luck can bring us good luck on this trip."
In front of the door, Alex said with a smile that it was done, and finally got into the car that Mrs. Maggie drove back.
The little girl was caught in the palm of Ellie's hand. She watched with reluctance as the car driven by her mother finally disappeared from sight, and then she suddenly jumped into the big sister's body.
After Ellie comforted her, she brought the little girl into the house. Gloria was seen wandering back and forth in the living room at this time, as if she was worried from now on.
Ellie didn't seem to know what to say for a moment.
She subconsciously looked at the young owner of the cabin and found that he was flipping through an old book. It must have been taken from the bookshelf on the wall on the side of the living room.
As if he wasn't worried at all... This man is really calm, Ellie thought quietly.
I don’t know how long it took, but the maid walked to the living room with the saucer in both hands, squatted down, put out the cup inside, and said softly: "Drink some scented tea. This is Luoshen scented tea. It can calm your mood and help you recover."
Spirit."
Youye touched the tea cups in front of several people one after another.
Ellie said thank you.
Gloria never stopped wandering from the beginning. At this time, even if she took the tea cup, she just held it in her hand. While drinking, she walked back and forth, seeming to be thinking about something, and she was absorbed in it.
Got up.
"Tell me, what's your name?"
The maid finally came to the little girl.
"Lina!"
"Lina, be good." The maid touched the little girl's hair, "Are you scared?"
Lina nodded and suddenly asked: "Sister, will my father be okay?"
"I don't know." You Ye said softly, "But people who are fine will naturally be fine. If something happens, no matter how worried you are, something will happen. Do you like to have something happen? Or don't you like something to happen?"
The little girl was stunned and tilted her head... It was difficult for her to understand what this beautiful elder sister said. The little girl Lina lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then looked around curiously.
"This sister is so strange."
Lina suddenly whispered in Yuye's ear that the person she was pointing at was Gloria.
"Is there anything strange?" Youye asked curiously.
Lina suddenly said: "One, two, three. One, two, three. Did you see it? This big sister turned around after taking three steps, and then turned around after taking three steps. It's been like this since just now."
"Really." The maid smiled slightly.
She stood up, finally touched Lina's head, then walked to Luo Qiu and sat down.
Just sitting quietly like this, there was no sound or other unnecessary movements.
Ellie took a curious look... She felt like she was seeing a puppet.
…
Tick-tock, tick-tock, that is the sound of the pendulum clock placed in the living room.
As if beating with the heartbeat, every swing can be transmitted to people's hearts.
Gloria didn't know when she sat down. Maybe she was tired from walking. She just looked down at her phone and then at Ellie. She seemed to want to find something to talk about, but she opened her mouth several times, but in the end she didn't say even a single word.
.
The little girl Lina's eyes were looking back and forth in the living room... She had already gone to bed early, and now it seemed that she had experienced something that had disrupted her normal schedule.
Lena, wearing a small floral skirt, white stockings and red leather shoes, walked gently down from the sofa.
She saw a quite large suitcase placed in the corner of the living room connected to the dining room.
Lina subconsciously walked towards the box.
Getting closer, getting closer.
She reached out and wanted to touch the small box.
Close.
Snapped!
Suddenly, Lina heard such a noise, her whole body was startled, and she even turned around.
She only heard the sound that the elder brother who was sitting reading suddenly closed the book in his hand. The elder brother said softly to her: "It is not what a good child should do to touch other people's things casually."
Lina stuck out her tongue and quickly put her hands behind her back.
Luo Qiu smiled and grabbed a candy from the snack box placed on the coffee table next to him, "Would you like to eat it?"
Lina nodded and walked quickly towards Boss Luo.
The box behind her suddenly... seemed to move. (To be continued.)
