The boy stood up happily and said to them, "Please come and help me quickly! Grandma hasn't woken up since she collapsed, and I'm so worried!"
He seemed completely oblivious to the strange looks the three of them were giving him.
He used to look like he was mentally impaired, but now he's suddenly back to normal. How did that happen?
"Intermittent psychosis."
Qin Bai blurted it out.
Wu Ming nodded slightly: "It does look somewhat like it. The dementia he showed just now was definitely not an act."
"The little guy is pitiful, but there's not much we can do to help him."
"After all, his grandmother is dead."
Dong Zisheng was quite helpless.
The question they now have to answer is whether to tell the boy the cruel truth directly, or to continue helping him keep it a secret.
After a brief discussion, the three decided to continue keeping it a secret.
Because if we tell him the truth, he might not be able to accept it and might go completely insane.
If we keep it a secret, even if he continues to act the same way, at least there's still a glimmer of hope.
The three of them made up a lie, telling him that his grandmother was just asleep.
To wake up his grandmother, he needs to pray to her once a day. After a while, she will wake up.
The boy believed them and kept thanking them.
Before leaving, they left some food, not much, but enough to keep the boy going for a little longer.
That's the only thing they can do.
After leaving, they put on their skis and set off again.
Qin Bai turned around and looked over. He didn't know when, but the boy had come onto the balcony and was waving at them.
The three of them waved to each other and prepared to set off.
But for some reason, Qin Bai felt as if he had forgotten something.
After walking for a while, he suddenly thought of something.
"Why did that boy only talk about his grandmother and not say a word to his older or younger brother who was lying next to him?"
Qin Bai's question surprised both of them.
Then they realized that it seemed to be true.
The boy kept talking about his grandmother, completely ignoring his brother beside him.
No, it should be said that it seems like he doesn't even have this brother in his eyes.
"Could it be that the two brothers have a conflict?"
"Impossible. How old were they? Even if they had a conflict, the other party is already dead. What conflict would a dead person care about?"
Qin Bai added, "There's also what the neighbors said: that's the house his older brother bought. So why is an old lady and two brothers living there without his knowledge?"
This is also a point of confusion, as the neighbors all said that his older brother doesn't have a child of that age.
Their mother had also passed away long ago.
A glint of light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes: "You mean, the neighbor lied?"
"We can't rule out that possibility, but the boy also has a lot of problems, but this matter has nothing to do with us anymore."
Qin Bai shrugged and said.
"That's true. We've all left, so it has nothing to do with us."
Dong Zisheng said with a smile.
Wu Ming was somewhat concerned, but they had already left that place, so there was no point in thinking about it anymore.
The three quickened their pace and continued on their way, without being called out to by anyone this time.
But to their surprise, they encountered people on the way who, like them, had made a makeshift ski and were struggling to move forward.
The other person was clearly surprised to see the three of them, and then excitedly exclaimed, "Are you also going to the supermarket to pick up some things?"
Need something from a large supermarket?
Qin Bai immediately realized that the best way to get food at this time was to go out and find it.
Large supermarkets are the best places for them to find food, but the process is rather troublesome.
"We're not going to a big supermarket; we have other things to do."
Qin Bai said.
When Qin Bai said they weren't going to a large supermarket, the other person was a little surprised, but didn't think much of it.
He continued toward the supermarket, while Qin Bai and the other two continued toward the police station.
But just then, the man who was walking suddenly disappeared from their sight.
This surprised the three of them.
Where are they?
Dong Zisheng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Oh no, he fell into the snow!"
Wu Ming reacted quickly and went to rescue the person.
For him, saving lives has become an instinct.
Qin Bai reacted quickly, grabbing him and pointing to the spot where the person had disappeared.
"If you want to end up like that person, then go over there."
"Take a closer look, what's different about the front compared to the rest of the place?"
After Qin Bai pointed it out, Wu Ming looked closely and finally noticed something different.
"The snow here seems a bit softer?"
He squatted down, reached out and grabbed a handful, and felt it.
“That’s right. The snow in front is softer, which makes it easier to sink in. The snow depth is now close to two meters at the very least, and can even exceed three meters at higher depths.”
"If someone falls in, they could easily die inside. We can rescue people, but only if our own safety is guaranteed."
"Officer Wu, do you think you can guarantee your own safety and still save people under these circumstances?"
Qin Bai's words left Wu Ming speechless.
He realized he couldn't do it because he was just an ordinary person.
"But shouldn't the snow at the bottom be a bit harder?"
