My family used to say that in the blink of an eye, the child would be gone.
Jiang Dai didn't believe it, thinking it was an exaggeration.
Now she no longer thinks it's an exaggeration.
The doctor was giving acupuncture to her second son, who had a fever, inside the house, while she waited outside with her third son.
She felt someone bump into her, and then the child in her arms was gone.
She went outside to look for him, but after searching around, she couldn't find him. She went back to check on the second son who was being treated by the doctor, but he was also gone.
"After I finished administering acupuncture to the child, he ran out by himself."
The old doctor has already started treating the next patient.
They weren't particularly concerned about the child running around.
“The child isn’t stupid; he seems quite smart to me. He was able to find his way home on his own.”
"You're just concerned about your child, but do you expect me to tie him to my side with a rope all the time?"
A child who was there for a medical checkup said, "I just saw it!"
Old doctor: "What do you see?"
The child said, "I saw an adult walking a child on a leash, like walking a dog."
If Jiang Dai had heard these words when she had nothing else to do, she would have laughed out loud.
One of the joys of being a parent for young people these days: messing with your kids!
At this moment, Jiang Dai felt extremely regretful for not holding onto her second and third sons.
Jiang Dai pleaded with the old doctor, "If that child comes back, please help me keep him here!"
"Okay, okay, don't rush."
Jiang Dai was truly panicked and anxious.
Upon receiving the doctor's reply, she turned and ran outside to find the two children.
As a modern person, I am genuinely afraid of my child being abducted. Perhaps in the eyes of these ancient people, it was normal for children to run around freely.
But in Jiang Dai's time, children were never out of the sight of adults.
Moreover, Jiang Dai was not very old in her original world, and now she has come to a strange world where she knows no one and has no memories.
Jiang Dai didn't know why a huge wave of grievances welled up inside her.
Why make her time travel?
She has no medical skills, no cooking skills, no farming skills, and doesn't even have a personal space.
On the bustling streets.
Jiang Dai stood alone in the center, looking at the people walking around her, feeling out of place, like a child forgotten and lost by the torrent of time.
"Mother!"
The clear, childlike voice cut through the crowd like a shooting star streaking across the dark sky, catching everyone's eye.
The young girl rushed over, but instead of hugging her, she tugged at her clothes with a sense of boundaries.
Jiang Dai looked at her little girl beside her and Bai Tian, who was waving at her from not far away and walking quickly towards her.
And then there was the eldest son, with a stern face, staring at the rope as if it were an enemy.
Jiang Dai couldn't hold back for a moment, and tears streamed down her face.
"Mother, don't cry, don't cry!"
Juanjuan stood on tiptoe, trying to coax her mother, but she didn't know how.
She had no choice but to turn to her father behind her for help: "Father, Mother is crying."
The child was anxious and flustered, and looked as if she was about to cry along with her mother.
[Why are they all crying! Oh my god! How do I comfort them?!]
Bai Tian panicked; he had never lied to anyone before!
And both of them are crying, one big and one small, and they're both girls. How are you going to comfort them?
In my haste, I couldn't help but rush over.
Unaware that his father was pulling him along by the rope, Bai Yunqi stumbled and nearly took off when his father suddenly started moving.
"It's alright, Father is here."
Bai Tian patted his little girl's hair, first comforting the child.
Then, looking at Jiang Dai, he lowered his voice and said, "What's wrong? Is there something you're upset about, or is there something you've wronged? Tell me."
Jiang Dai cried and said, "Da Mao and Er Mao are missing..."
Bai Tian: [Damn! These two kids...]
Juanjuan: The brothers still ran away.
Bai Yunqi looked down at the rope tied around his waist: "I told you, there would be problems if only I was tied up."
But nobody paid him any attention.
"While the second brother was receiving acupuncture, I waited outside with the third brother. Suddenly someone bumped into me, and I felt the third brother let go of my hand. I turned around to look, but I couldn't find him."
"Then I looked outside but couldn't find him, so I quickly went to look for the second brother, but I couldn't find him either."
Bai Tian took a deep breath.
He really didn't expect that his seemingly honest second and third sons would cause such trouble.
"You said...they're both so obedient, and they're in poor health, they wouldn't run away on their own, could they be kidnapped..."
Bai Yunqi: ...
So, if I ran away, it's because I was naughty, but if the other two ran away, it's because they were kidnappers???
