The entire Bianyu Town seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, and voices calling for Xiaofu were heard everywhere.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Fan Qiang's door was knocked open. He covered his stomach and looked at the neighbors standing at the door with a very ugly expression.
"Why don't you go home and sleep with your wife at this hour of night? What are you doing in front of my door? Are you calling for my soul?"
Unexpectedly, he was scolded as soon as he opened the door. The villagers also looked unhappy. The village chief came forward and said to him:
"Qiangzi, Xiaofu from Old Li's family ran away and disappeared. Everyone is looking for him. Can you take a look and help? One more person means more strength..."
Unexpectedly, when Fan Qiang heard this, he was furious and suddenly shouted:
"Damn it, I'm not feeling well right now, why am I looking for Xiaofu? How can that widow from the Li family be so shameless to bother the whole village to find one for her when she can't even take care of the child herself?"
"If you ask me, he deserves to be lost! I don't think Xiaofu is an honest guy!"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut, blocking all the villagers out.
The moment the door was closed, Fan Qiang's face changed and he hurried towards the toilet, cursing.
The people outside the door were turned away. The village chief sighed and waved to everyone.
"Let's all go find someone and disperse."
The villagers dispersed one after another, muttering about Fan Qiang's behavior.
…
"Miss Qingsheng, just let them go find it. You have caught a cold, so just wait at home..."
"Aunt Li."
Gu Qingsheng shook his head, pushed Aunt Li's hand away and said softly
"I'm fine. I'll help you look for it. Don't worry, it's not that cold outside now."
She brought Aunt Li a bowl of warm water and placed it on the table, patting her on the back to comfort her.
"Maybe Xiaofu just ran out to play. Don't worry, he will be back soon. I'll go look for him. Don't cry anymore."
At this point, Aunt Li could only let Gu Qingsheng go and saw her off with tears in her eyes.
The streets were full of people looking for Xiaofu. Gu Qingsheng joined the team and almost shouted himself hoarse.
Miao Lanlan felt helpless seeing her like this
"He's been gone for so long. He might have been kidnapped and taken to who knows where. How can we find out..."
Hearing her mumbling, Gu Qingsheng got a little angry and frowned.
"You can't say that. Aunt Li is already very sad."
"Besides, Xiaofu is definitely in Bianyu Village. Outsiders are not allowed to enter here, and villagers are not allowed to leave. How could such a thing as kidnapping happen here?"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
As long as Gu Qingsheng got angry, Miao Lanlan was very sensible and immediately raised her hands to surrender.
"No more talking, no more talking, look at what you are so anxious about."
…
The two of them followed the townspeople to look for it, but Gu Qingsheng walked into a dark alley alone. She looked at the dark alley and fell into deep thought. A villager behind her reminded her:
"Girl, that's an abandoned street. We've warned the children in the village not to go there. Xiaofu has always been quite obedient, so he probably won't set foot there."
Gu Qingsheng nodded at him and was about to leave when Miao Lanlan's voice was unfathomable.
"It's right inside. Go inside."
She paused and said to the villagers with some embarrassment
"Thank you for the reminder, uncle, but I think it's better not to miss any place, so I'll go look for it."
As I walked in, I heard the villagers muttering
"Why are you so stubborn? That's not a good place..."
The further you go inside, the deeper the alley becomes.
Walking very slowly, Gu Qingsheng called Xiaofu's name softly as a test.
The street is littered with abandoned tables and chairs, and has unknowingly become a place for discarding discarded items.
She was a little confused
"Is Xiaofu really in here?"
Because it was dark all around, Gu Qingsheng couldn't help but stumble when he walked, and his legs suddenly became covered with bruises.
"Just trust me, you're not wrong."
Miao Lanlan answered confidently.
The further you walk, the more you can feel a cool breeze blowing towards you.
Although they were clearly in the alley, the sudden wind made Gu Qingsheng a little dazed.
She quickened her pace and saw the dimly lit entrance to the alley ahead.
As he stepped out, Gu Qingsheng suddenly opened his eyes wide.
This Bianyu Village is actually a village on a cliff?!
Leading out from the alley is a low cliff edge, and at the entrance of the alley there is a low railing surrounding it.
However, the height is not too high, and most children can step out easily.
"In here?"
Looking at the cliff in front of him, Gu Qingsheng took a step forward. Miao Lanlan didn't say anything. She tried to take a few steps forward, but heard a faint sound from below the cliff.
Gu Qingsheng felt a chill in his heart and quickened his pace.
This sound is!
Xiaofu?!
"Xiaofu!"
She leaned her head down, and her heart sank at the first sight.
The cliff was not high, but falling down was still dangerous. Xiaofu hugged a branch on the cliff tightly and cried softly.
The tree trunk was very thick and very close to Gu Qingsheng. She stretched out her hand and shouted to Xiaofu,
"Xiaofu! Can you hear me?!"
Xiaofu was startled and began to sob. He looked up at Gu Qingsheng, his eyes full of tears and his lips swollen with fear.
"Sister Kiyomori... wuwu... save me... I'm so scared... it's so high up here..."
Gu Qingsheng finally understood why the villager said that it must be gone here.
Adults would definitely tell their children to stay away from such a dangerous place. The abandoned tables, chairs and railings are enough to prove that they usually keep children away.
Maybe Xiaofu had a big fight with Aunt Li today, so he came to this place out of spite.
I didn't expect that I was in the middle of the cliff now. Gu Qingsheng's heart was almost lifted up.
"Xiaofu, hold on to me and I'll rescue you."
Xiaofu swallowed his saliva and stretched out his hand. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew out from under his feet. He was frightened and retracted his hand. Tears kept falling down his face.
"I don't dare! I don't dare! It's so scary, so scary! Wuuuuu! It's so scary, I don't dare!"
A child lying on a tree branch for an entire afternoon was already a terrifying experience. Gu Qingsheng calmed himself down and tried to smile at Xiaofu to ease his nervousness.
"It's okay, Xiaofu. Aunt Li is still waiting for you at home. She poured a big bowl of fish soup for you to drink, and she also asked me to tell you not to be angry anymore."
When Xiaofu mentioned Aunt Li, all the strength he had shown in the afternoon disappeared. He pouted and burst into tears.
"Mother! I want my mother! Mother!"
"Give me your hand, and I'll take you to find your mother."
Xiaofu seemed to have gained motivation in his heart, and he hesitantly reached out his hand.
After all, the child's arms are short, so no matter how they touch, the two people will only touch one fingertip.
