Chapter 167 What is my sister doing? 1

Lu Xuanyao opened her half-sleeping eyes at around five or six in the morning.

Looking at the slightly bright sky, his curled up body trembled.

My body began to ache slightly as I lay on the iron plate. It was the first time I slept in such a condition.

Lu Xuanyao's discomfort reached a point that could not be overestimated.

"Hiss... My neck is so sore."

Lu Xuanyao twisted her neck, picked up her backpack, and planned to continue moving forward.

Still avoiding the surveillance cameras on the main roads, he continued walking forward in the woods.

She didn't know where she was going, but an address had already popped up in her mind.

After hesitating for a long time and standing there for a long time, he finally took a step and decided to walk in that direction.

The sky was always grey.

The air is also stuffy.

The damp and stuffy feeling made Lu Xuanyao, who already had limited physical strength, start to gasp for breath.

"call….."

The sticky feeling had already crept up Lu Xuanyao's body, and she took off her coat.

Her sickly pale skin was covered in cold sweat, which was sticking to the clothes she was wearing.

The touch made her regret wearing thick clothes today.

If I look for my sister myself, will she come to see me?

Does she know she is out?

The woods have come to an end, and the city is ahead.

Lu Xuanyao pulled her hat down and walked along the edge of the road, and would walk into any path she found.

Don't let yourself appear in surveillance.

Lu Xuanyao's path became more and more remote, there were more and more alleys, and the buildings became older and older.

These are the residences of some old grandpas and grandmas, and there are some elderly people sitting at the doorstep, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans.

Looking at Lu Xuanyao who was walking past them with her head lowered, his eyes were fixed on her back.

"Why does this little girl look familiar?"

"Eh? I thought so too. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before. Is she a little girl from our neighborhood?"

“It seems not.”

The grandparents who were fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans outside looked at Lu Xuanyao's receding back, muttering to themselves.

"Grandpa! Grandma! I'm coming!"

Suddenly, a young boy's voice came from the other end of the alley.

Then there was the sound of hurried running.

"Ouch! It's Dudu!"

The face of a little boy with a baby-like appearance suddenly appeared in the eyes of these grandparents.

When they saw Dudu, they forgot about what happened to Lu Xuanyao.

This little boy is none other than Dudu, who filmed a variety show with Lu Yinghan more than ten years ago.

He was fourteen years old and in the period of growth.

The soft curly hair and rosy face show her vitality. She is covered in sweat and is holding a basketball in her hands.

"Grandpa, grandma, what are you talking about?"

In the distance, Dudu saw his grandparents whispering with other elderly people.

It seemed quite intense. Out of curiosity, he also wanted to join in the fun and step forward to communicate with them.

"Oh, nothing. There was just a little girl about your age walking by here. She looked familiar."

"Of course, but I don't think it's nearby."

"And he walked in a strange way."

While a few elderly people were still discussing this issue, Dudu was already holding the basketball and running towards Lu Xuanyao's position.

Lu Xuanyao hadn't walked far when she heard footsteps suddenly coming from behind.

My heart was beating as fast as it could and my entire chest could feel the deepest fear in my heart.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Dudu was behind and greeted Lu Xuanyao loudly, but Lu Xuanyao, who was on guard, did not turn around, but ran faster.

The sudden acceleration made Dudu feel strange. The little girl looked very thin, but she was carrying such a big backpack.

I always feel something is wrong.

As a regular exerciser, he caught up with Lu Xuanyao in just a few steps and grabbed her arm.

"Wait a minute, don't run!"

"Ah!! Don't touch me!"

After Dudu grabbed her arm, Lu Xuanyao screamed reflexively.

He used all his strength to break free from Dudu's hand.

"You, don't be afraid!"

Dudu was also startled by Lu Xuanyao's sudden scream. He opened his eyes wide helplessly and looked at Lu Xuanyao who had her eyes closed.

The sharp screams echoed in the alley, and someone had already opened the window and looked outside.

"What's wrong?! I think I heard a little girl screaming!"

"Who's downstairs? Go down and check!"

"The human trafficking gangs have been very active recently! Let's see if anyone is stealing children!"

Once someone mentioned it, many people responded, and the "fine tradition" of loving to watch the fun and not minding the big things was also demonstrated very well.

People quickly came to the source of the sound.

The grandparents who were chatting just now also stopped fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans, stood up and looked over there.

"Oh no! Did Dudu run over there just now?!"

"You said you were going to see the little girl, but is this voice from a little girl?!"

"Where's Dudu? He's not in trouble either!"

The old men dropped the palm-leaf fans in their hands and ran towards the source of the sound as fast as they could.

Seeing more and more people coming over, Dudu suddenly felt at a loss.

He grabbed Lu Xuanyao's hand and suddenly ran to another alley.

Lu Xuanyao also calmed down a little and ran in the direction of Dudu.

The adults have gathered at the same place, and are discussing something with serious expressions.

"It seems to be coming from here."

"Where did you go?"

"Tell me the truth, have you seen anyone suspicious?"

People were talking about it.

However, Dudu took Lu Xuanyao and ran deeper into the alley.

"Huh...Huh, stop yelling."

Dudu turned to look at Lu Xuanyao who was also panting.

Lu Xuanyao, who was still alert, shook off Dudu's hand.

"What are you doing? Why are you calling me?"

Lu Xuanyao, who was not used to interacting with people and didn't communicate much with people of her age, distanced herself from Dudu.

"Ah? I..."

Dudu was stunned.

Yes, what did I want to do by calling her?

I just heard my grandparents say there was a strange girl, so I came up to take a look out of curiosity.

But what happens after watching it? What should I do?

Looking at her like that, it seemed like I couldn't bring myself to ask.

"If it's alright, I'll leave."

Lu Xuanyao glanced at the strange person in front of her.

"Um, where are you going? It's dangerous for you to go alone like this. Things are not peaceful these days."

Although Lu Xuanyao has a weak character, it doesn't mean she can accept everything.

"You grabbed me for no reason. This is the first time we met today, right? Why did you do this? And there's such a big commotion over there, how are you going to solve it?

It's my own freedom to go wherever I want. You just decided to go with me casually. Haven't you ever thought that it would cause trouble to me? ”

The Lu family's education was only demonstrated when faced with such things.

Dudu was so stunned by Lu Xuanyao's long string of words that he couldn't utter a single word.

The basketball that was held in one hand was suddenly held in both hands.

Although he is one year younger than Lu Xuanyao, he is half a head taller than her.

We can only blame Lu Xuanyao for not eating much.

At this moment, he was lowering his head, accepting Lu Xuanyao's questioning.

Seeing that Dudu couldn't say a word, Lu Xuanyao ignored him, straightened her clothes and prepared to leave.

"Um! I'm sorry! I was wrong just now, I'm sorry! My mother said that if you do something wrong, you should do something that will make the other person forgive you. This alley is really not very safe.

So let me take you to the crowded street, okay? Could you please give me this chance? ”

The sincere big eyes stared straight at Lu Xuanyao.

From childhood to adulthood, this righteous character has never changed.

Seeing how serious the other party was, Lu Xuanyao took a few seconds to think.

"Okay then, just take me to a crowded place. I'm really not familiar with this place."

When Dudu, who was still depressed, saw Lu Xuanyao agreed, his eyes instantly brightened and his mood improved visibly.

"Yes! Follow me!"

The two of them left the alley quietly.

The adults in the alley are still looking for it there.

"Um...can I ask your name, please?"

Dudu walked in front, holding a basketball, turning his head from time to time to look at Lu Xuanyao behind him.

The volume of the questions he asked became very low, carefully taking care of Lu Xuanyao's emotions.

“…You don’t need to know.”

"Oh, okay..."

There was silence again. Dudu, who couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere, asked Lu Xuanyao again.

"Um, are you out for a walk by yourself? Or are you going somewhere to play?"

This time, Lu Xuanyao finally raised her head.

She carefully observed the little boy in front of her. She had been running too fast just now and didn't observe him seriously.

Her skin was healthy and fair, her face was rosy at the moment, and she exuded a vitality.

The heat wave was pressing against Lu Xuanyao, and he could even see sweat on his arms.

A pair of unusually large hands, currently holding a basketball, were asking themselves questions with a correct posture.

His face was full of seriousness and confusion, and there was no bad intention.

At this moment, Lu Xuanyao couldn't say what she wanted to say.

"It's none of your business..."

The voice is weak.

Seeing that Lu Xuanyao was not angry, Dudu plucked up his courage and asked another question, narrowing the distance between himself and her.

"You look like you are the same age as me. I am 14 years old. How about you? Are you also 14 years old?"

“I’m 15.”

Replying to Dudu's words indifferently, Lu Xuanyao unnoticeably distanced herself from him.

"Don't get so close to me, just take me to where there are more people."

After knowing that Lu Xuanyao was one year older than him, the boy's eyes never narrowed.

This skinny girl and her classmates are all taller than her and even have more flesh than her.

Some of them are not even 14 years old, but she is 15?

Doesn’t her family provide her with food?

Looking at Lu Xuanyao carrying a big bag, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, her face is almost invisible.

The actions were also sneaky.

An exciting thought popped up in his mind.

Just as he was about to ask, he recalled how Lu Xuanyao looked when she questioned her confidant just now.

He shut his mouth obediently and led her out of the alley seriously.

During the following period, neither of them spoke and an awkward atmosphere gradually spread.

It was not until she walked out of the alley and saw the prosperous but somewhat old streets outside that Lu Xuanyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you."

"No, you're welcome. This is what I should do. Can you forgive my impolite behavior just now?"

"Um."

Lu Xuanyao lifted her backpack, replied to Dudu lightly, and was about to leave the road.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure out of the corner of my eye and turned my head to look reflexively.

Lu Yinghan was wearing a simple casual suit and walking towards a convenience store.

"elder sister?"

The distance was a little far, and Lu Xuanyao was still young, so she couldn't be sure whether it was Lu Yinghan.

But his feet were faster than his brain and he started walking quickly.

"Ah? What? Sister.?"

Seeing Lu Xuanyao rushing over, Dudu began to doubt his life.

Didn’t you run away from home?

Could it be that I was wrong?

It seems that things are not as simple as I thought. Now that I have come this far, I might as well go up and take a look myself.

Lu Yinghan, who was standing in front of the convenience store, had no idea that two people she could never imagine were approaching her.

Now she was concentrating on observing her surroundings.

This is the old town where many elderly people and children live.

After all, parents go out to work and leave their children to be raised by their grandparents, and the older generation does not have much power, so human traffickers like to lurk in this area.

This also makes the elderly in the old city worried and panic-stricken all day long.

I was afraid that if I went out with my grandchildren, they might disappear without me noticing.

The problem is that we can’t catch up yet.

During this period, not a single elderly person in the old city took their children out to relax.

There were only some young parents walking on the road, holding their children's hands or pushing strollers. The rest are not visible at all.

Lu Xuanyao walked over curiously, followed by Dudu.

The sudden appearance of two vivid targets made the people in the dark begin to stir.

"Today is good, there are three..."

Someone muttered something and finally disappeared into the darkness.

Waiting for the right time...

Ps: Thank you all for your waiting and support.

Report your physical condition first

During the month that I calmed myself down, I drank two packets of Chinese medicine a day and slowly calmed myself down.

My health has started to improve. Although the insomnia symptoms still persist, they have improved.

I used to be unable to fall asleep until seven or eight in the morning and had difficulty falling asleep.

At least now falling asleep isn't so painful, and it doesn't give me heart palpitations.

This novel should be finished soon. I'm sorry that it didn't satisfy everyone, but this is the ending I've come up with after thinking about it for a month. It may not suit the taste of the general public, but I will still write it this way.

The prototypes of the two sisters of the Lu family are a friend and her younger sister, whose family situation is even worse than that in the novel.

I don’t know what your daily living environment is like, but I hope you won’t define impossible things casually. This is really a knife piercing the hearts of those who are in dire straits.

Maybe my anxiety disorder is also caused by various pressures in life, and I have unconsciously become self-destructive, but I have made myself face this situation and am willing to change and accept it.

I don't know what to say, I can only wish you all the best.

You must take bad things lightly and live happily.

Don't let your heart become sick.
