Chapter 955 Can't Speak
The old lady felt hopeless about life, and she began to wail again: "Oh my God, what sin have we committed..."
He kept repeating the same thing over and over again until the wound on Chen Jin's hand stopped bleeding. Then he wiped his snot and tears from his face and yelled, "Go, get me a towel. You are such a tactless guy."
Chen Jin was still sitting on the ground. After a while, he looked up, glanced at the old lady, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay."
Then he slowly supported himself with his palms, stood up, walked to the corner, picked up the towel in the basin, turned around, walked to the bed, and handed it to the old lady.
The instructions, which seemed extremely simple to ordinary people, took Chen Jin at least five minutes to complete.
The old lady grabbed the towel and wiped it across her face. The ice on the towel stung her skin. She threw the towel to the ground and shouted, "Clean it up!"
Chen Jin seemed not to feel the other person's bad temper. He picked it up slowly, turned around slowly, went out, rubbed the towel in the snow, and then brought it back and put it in the basin.
The old lady watched her movements the whole time and wanted to say something, but she felt that this fool couldn't understand her at all.
He cursed "idiot" and went to bed to sleep.
Neither of them took Xiao Xiaobao seriously. The old lady thought that this was not the first time she had chased people away, and that the kid would come back on his own after a while. As for Chen Jin, she had no concept of children in her mind at all.
In this way, the two of them stayed at home quietly. It was not until dark that Xiao's father brought Xiao Fei back.
When he came back, he found that there were only two women in the house. The old man looked around but couldn't find the kid, so he woke up the old lady and asked, "Where's Xiaobao?"
"It's not there!" The old lady said unhappily, pointing to a corner without raising her head.
"No, there are only two of you at home!" said old man Xiao with a frown.
The old lady woke up with a start, propped up her arms and sat up. She looked carefully at the small nest of less than 20 square meters and found that there was indeed no one there.
"I just shouted 'get out' at noon, and that kid didn't come back?" the old lady said without hiding anything.
Father Xiao's forehead veins jumped, thinking that even if he didn't like his grandson, he couldn't talk like that. What would others think if they heard it?
But now is not the time to pursue the matter. He carefully asked the child when he went out, whether he came back during the trip, and where he usually went.
But there were two people at home, one lying in bed unable to move, and the other was so stupid that he couldn't even speak. He felt the deep malice from fate.
Old Man Xiao waved his hands weakly, and his body instantly slumped. Old Mrs. Xiao was a little panicked, and she regretted sending the kid out.
"Okay, don't worry about it. I'll go out and look for it." said Xiao's father.
The old lady stammered a few times, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
Old man Xiao took Xiao Fei out and looked around the area, but found no trace of his grandson.
There were many residents around, and the noise of the two people soon alarmed everyone. Because they all came to Haishi together, although everyone was annoyed by his old lady, they all had sympathy and felt that this family had a hard time, so they all helped to look for someone.
At that time, Zeng Yiming went to look for Ding Xunye, so he did not join the search team. But Zeng's father and mother went to help.
Old man Xiao was so grateful that he kept thanking him.
The group searched the D area but couldn't find anyone. Later, a guard passing by found out and suggested that they expand the search area and send someone back to ask for support.
The sky was getting darker and colder. Only a few spots of light were left in Area D. Everyone felt heavy in their hearts, but no one gave up.
Father Xiao was already crying uncontrollably, but Xiao Fei still had a blank expression on his face.
The guards who came to help didn't understand what was going on and accused the father of being heartless. It was only after the residents of District D helped explain that the guards realized how miserable this family was. So they couldn't give up on this kid.
"Let's go, search again." Liang Huaxin waved his hand, and the guards dispersed. They started searching from Area D again.
Half an hour later, a guard shouted, "Captain, we found it, here it is!"
His voice was very penetrating, and in the quiet snowy night, it directly woke up the people who had just fallen asleep.
Liang Huaxin was so excited that he shouted, "Where is it?" and ran towards the source of the sound.
Father Xiao and others also heard it, and they rushed over.
I originally thought it was good news, but when it arrived I found out that it was a bolt from the blue.
The child had already passed away. His face was red and he had a weird smile on his face, which scared everyone who came forward to check.
"What's going on here? Is he dying with his eyes open?"
"But this child is a fool, what can he understand!"
Seeing that the topic was getting off track, Liang Huaxin hurriedly explained: "This is because of hypothermia syndrome..."
He gave a brief explanation, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it: "So that's how it is! The guards really know more."
At this time, Xiao's father also came over. When he saw his grandson lying motionless in the snow, he collapsed. He went forward and hugged the little guy in his arms, crying breathlessly, which really made people cry.
After a long while, Father Xiao asked, "Captain Liang, did my grandson die on his own, or was he killed by someone?"
Liang Huaxin squatted down and carefully checked the child. Finally, he pointed at the ankle and said, "Look, there is a sign of sprain here. I guess the child may have accidentally fallen and couldn't get up. No one noticed, and finally..."
He was too embarrassed to say the words "frozen to death".
But Father Xiao understood, he nodded and said: "As long as he was not harmed by others, it's fine. This child has suffered a lot, he is already seven or eight years old, but he is as small as a five or six year old child. He can't speak, and even if he is injured, he can't call for help. It's our fault that we didn't take good care of the child."
Everyone in District D knew the Xiao family's situation, so no one blamed the old man who shouldered the responsibility of supporting the family.
They all came forward to comfort him: "The dead cannot be resurrected, so you should take good care of yourself. Even if you lose your grandson, you still have your son. Don't be too sad. If you collapse, who will take care of the old lady and the young couple?"
The old man was not comforted at all. He stared at the sky full of snowflakes and felt extremely desperate.
Xiao Fei seemed to have just realized the situation. He cried out "Ah" and started to cry. Even though he didn't have much affection for the child, it was still his child after all.
The sudden crying startled the guards, and they were caught off guard and subconsciously took several steps back.
The person in Area D explained softly, "It's okay, this guy is just a little slow to react."
