Chapter 231 Return Home

Ning Xiyue's consolation was ineffective, so she had to find another way. She took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket and put it in Goudan's hand. She squatted down to be level with Goudan, half-hugging him.

With one hand she patted his back to help him calm down, and with the other hand she stroked his head soothingly. Without saying anything, she let him vent his sadness.

Goudan slowly stopped crying, but he had been crying for too long and couldn't stop crying for a while, sobbing softly.

"Okay, our little dog is the cleanest and prettiest kid in the team. Let's stop crying and wipe our snot and tears. Then we can be a clean and beautiful kid again."

Ning Xiyue took out a piece of paper and wiped his snot and tears. After they were clean, Goudan's sobbing stopped.

At this time, Goudan held Ning Xiyue with one hand, pointed at his right thigh with one hand, and complained: "Sister Xiyue, a bad guy caught me and she pinched my leg."

"The bad guys have been caught. They can't hurt our little puppy anymore." Ning Xiyue took out a jar of blood stasis removing ointment and pulled up the little puppy's pants: "Come, sister will help you take a look."

Goudan covered his belt shyly. At the age of four, he already knew how to feel embarrassed. He shook his head with a red face.

"Sister, there are too many people here."

Ning Xiyue smiled, she was so cute. She respected Goudan's wishes, called her second brother and took him to a side place away from people to apply the medicine.

"If you feel any pain anywhere else, Goudan should tell your brothers and sisters."

"It hurts here." Goudan pointed to the left side of his waist.

After applying the medicine, I helped him check if he had any other injuries on his body.

Fortunately, there are only two bruises on my body, one on the thigh from being pinched, and the other on the waist from being hit. Both are not serious and the pain will go away in a day or two after applying some medicine.

When Ning Xiyue saw that Goudan had finished his work, she stood up to coax the other children.

The other children had no family members around them and were still crying. The male comrades who were trying to coax the children were in a panic and at a loss. They tried their best but failed to coax the children. They felt helpless.

Ning Xiyue was not very good at coaxing children, but she could not resist the pitiful looks from several comrades who looked at the two siblings and hoped for help. She could not stand such looks from others, so she helped to coax them, but with little success.

There is a little tail following her - Xiaogoudan. He holds the corner of Ning Xiyue's clothes with one of his little hands, and follows her wherever she goes, never leaving her side.

Even if Ning Qingyuan came to take him away, he would not listen, as he only recognized Ning Xiyue.

Ning Xiyue followed him. She knew that this was a sign of a child being extremely insecure. He would only trust people he was familiar with. It was a normal behavior after going through such a great ordeal.

However, there is a good news that Goudan actually helped her to coax the child, and unexpectedly it worked, and the child slowly stopped crying.

Then there was another little tail behind her - the little girl she met on the train, walking towards the next one with two little tails.

In the end, there were four little tails behind Ning Xiyue.

The other children gradually stopped crying because they were tired. The comrades from the Armed Forces Department went out to buy some fruit candies and gave one to each child. Only then did all the children stop crying.

All the adults breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Xiyue was so hot that she unbuttoned her coat. Phew, she felt as tired as if she had just fought a battle.

After getting the candy, Goudan pulled Ning Xiyue's clothes and handed the new candy to her. With his other hand, he shook the candy Ning Xiyue gave him, revealing a long-lost smile:

"Sister Xiyue, we'll each take one."

"Okay, thank you, Goudan."

Ning Xiyue took the candy and clinked it with Goudan's candy, just like she did before in the team's clinic.

Goudan laughed even more happily.

Ning Xiyue saw that it was getting late and Comrade Li had just returned from the team, so she walked over and asked, "Comrade Li, is there anything else? If nothing else, my brother and I will go back soon. We should take the child home as soon as possible and not let his family worry."

"Well, I'll arrange for someone to take you back to town, where it'll be safer."

Ning Xiyue has a special identity, and Comrade Li is worried about her. When encountering today's incident again, he must take it seriously and not allow any accidents to occur, otherwise he will not be able to report to his superiors.

"Thank you, Comrade Li."

Ning Xiyue pulled Goudan to the front again, looked at Comrade Li and continued:

"Comrade Li, there is this child. He is from our team. Can you help me make a phone call to contact our team and tell them not to worry? I will take him back."

"Come with me." Comrade Li glanced at the timid Goudan and then nodded.

Ning Xiyue greeted her second brother and asked him to wait for a moment. Then she took Goudan and followed Comrade Li to the office where there was a telephone. She gave the team's phone number and Comrade Li helped to dial it.

After waiting for a while, the captain's full-throated voice came from the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, County Armed Forces Department, a child named Goudan from your team has been found and will be brought back by Comrade Ning from your team."

After saying this, Comrade Li handed the phone to Ning Xiyue without waiting for the captain's response.

"Captain, it's me, Xiyue. I'll make it short. Tell Uncle Anguo that Goudan is safe in the county armed forces department. I'll bring him back right away."

"Xiyue, is it true? We really found Goudan." The captain's excited voice came from inside.

"Found it, Goudan, come and call him." Ning Xiyue put the phone to Goudan's ear.

"Goudan, is that you?" the captain called cautiously, with anticipation in his voice.

When Xiao Gou Dan heard the familiar voice, he shouted with red eyes: "Uncle Youwei, I am Gou Dan."

"Oh, okay, okay, just follow your sister Xiyue home. I'll go tell your parents."

The captain hung up the phone happily, went out and asked someone to ride a bicycle to the town to notify people along the way. After thinking for a while, he turned back to the office and called the commune and the police station to help notify them.

At this time, Zhao Anguo and his wife were still leading half a team of people to search frantically in the town and its surroundings, and they were just short of digging the town three feet deep.

Some people followed the police to the bus station and searched along the bus's route, but unfortunately they still didn't find the person.

"Goudan, where are you, my son, Goudan."

Aunt Huaihua sat down on the ground, bursting into tears, slapping herself hard on the face one after another, her face turned red, her eyes were filled with tears of despair, and she blamed herself while hitting herself.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought the child to town. I shouldn't have trusted others. Why did I go to the toilet? It's all my fault. I am sorry to Goudan. My sweetheart, please come back soon, oo..."

Aunt Yang Liu sighed, went over and took her hand, stopping her from hitting herself, and advised:

"Huaihua, stop fighting. If you want to blame someone, blame that damn human trafficker. Who could have known that woman was a bad person? You have to cheer up. Goudan is still waiting for us to find him."

She looks so painful, alas.

That was the child she watched grow up, the child that Huaihua and his wife had finally gotten. Everyone in Goudan's team could see how precious he was to her.

Goudan was lost while he was going to the toilet. What will Huaihua and his wife do in the future?

"Huaihua, you can't fall down. Goudan is a blessed child and will definitely return safely."

"Yes, I can't fall down. My Goudan is still waiting for me. I must find Goudan. My Goudan is such an obedient child. I can't stop."

Aunt Huaihua stood up swiftly and wiped her tears with her sleeve: "Keep looking, go door to door, and you will definitely find it."

At this time, Comrade Sun in the police station waved his hands and shouted happily:

"There's news about Goudan. The county's armed forces department called and said they found a group of children, one of whom is called Goudan."

When Aunt Huaihua heard the name of Goudan, she excitedly grabbed Aunt Yangliu's hand and sought confirmation: "It must be my Goudan, it must be, Yangliu, it must be my Goudan."

"Yes, it must be." Aunt Yang Liu nodded in agreement with her words. She was also looking forward to it in her heart, hoping that it was their Goudan.

At the same time, Officer Li, who was familiar with the team leader in the commune, ran over happily to inform them.

"We have found Goudan from your team. Zhang Dawei called us just now and said that Ning Xiyue, a youth from your team, will be back with her child soon. You don't have to worry."

Aunt Yang Liu was so excited when she heard Ning Xiyue's name that she held Aunt Huaihua's hand:

"Huaihua, did you hear that? Xiyue brought Goudan back. Goudan has been found. Go talk to the others. There's no need to look for him anymore."

"Okay, okay." When the other members of the team heard the good news, they all ran around telling others with smiles on their faces.

"Found it, found it, thank God, I feel relieved with Xiyue here." Aunt Huaihua fainted in Aunt Yangliu's arms after she said this with such great sorrow and joy.

"Sophora japonica." Aunt Yang Liu was so scared that she quickly used her hand to feel the breath and pinched her philtrum. She was relieved to find that he had just fainted and there was nothing serious.

Aunt Yang Liu and her companions took the unconscious Aunt Huaihua to the gate of the commune and waited for people to come back with peace of mind.
