He looked down at his phone and found that it was a call from the tour guides he had invited.
They told him that they had searched all the suburbs and villages around Yuan County that were connected to the land, but no one was found.
Now they plan to go to several neighboring towns to look for it.
They asked him to take some time to visit the wharf, because there were dozens of villages near the water wharf, and many people came and went every day, so it was very important.
Li Zhenting agreed and hung up the phone.
He looked down at the dock at his feet. On the river, a large ship was sailing. As the sun set, a red sun fell on the boat, reflecting the ripples on the water, showing the beauty and grandeur of nature.
Sudden
His eyes were attracted by a figure on the boat.
It was a pregnant woman, wearing a beige maternity dress, standing by the side of the boat with her big belly, staring at the river in a daze. A young girl was standing beside her, holding her arm.
His breathing suddenly hitched.
"Ningning." Almost in an instant, he shouted and ran madly towards the dock.
"Comrade, please go buy a ticket first." But as soon as he ran to the pier, someone stopped him.
"Wait, I want to walk on the boat." He was anxious and shouted loudly. He turned around and ran to the ticket seller, threw a hundred yuan to the ticket seller, and then ran downstairs.
"Don't run away, the boat has already started." But when he went down to the dock again, the security guard next to him stopped him and said, "Wait for the next one."
When he looked up, he saw that the ship was already some distance away from the shore and was heading towards the other side of the river. The pregnant woman was still standing by the side of the ship, but the ship was gradually turning around, and soon, she would no longer be visible.
It’s her, it must be her!
"Ningning, Ningning." He shouted loudly towards the ship.
But the sound of the river water rising and falling and the sound of the wind continued, and his shouts were drowned out by the sound of the wind and water.
"How long will it take for the next bus?" he asked anxiously.
"Half an hour."
Half an hour?
Will I still be able to find anyone on the other side of the river half an hour later?
He stamped his feet anxiously and asked directly: "Is there a boat that can take me across the river right away if I pay you?"
"No." The security guard shook his head. "It's not about money. There's no dock on the other side of the river for boats to dock. Besides, this boat can't just sail away. The shipping company has regulations."
Li Zhenting's eyes went dark. He finally found her trace again, but now he could only watch her get lost again.
He was unwilling, but had no choice but to take out his cell phone, turn on the magnifying glass and look at the ship.
At this time, the ship had completely changed direction and the people on board could no longer be seen.
The surface of the river was covered in white. Compared with the small lake in Qingshan City, this place was simply a behemoth. After the boat reached the other side, even the remaining passengers getting on and off were as small as ants.
He was extremely worried and could only wait for the next bus.
Half an hour later, he was the first to rush onto the ferry, but by the time this ferry started moving, half an hour had passed. By the time he got ashore, an hour had passed since the previous ferry went ashore.
However, what made him even more confused was that after reaching the shore, there were several forks in the road, each of which led to either a village or a river.
There were quite a few motorcycles waiting to pick up passengers nearby, and he had no idea which way to go.
But he did not hesitate. He immediately got on a motorcycle and paid a large sum of money to ask the driver to take him to search in different directions.
The motorcyclist was quite honest. When he heard that he was going to look for someone, he told him directly that it was too late today and if he didn't know which direction to go, he wouldn't even have time to go back.
Li Zhenting asked him if he had seen a pregnant woman coming ashore just now. The driver shook his head, indicating that he didn't notice it. Finally, he suggested that he come early tomorrow to look for her, and he would wait for him here!
Li Zhenting's eyes were blinded. He chased for a long time but found nothing!
But facing the increasingly dark sky, he could only follow the driver's advice and go back to the hotel first.
