"Auntie!"
Ning Xi ran towards Ning Lan.
"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!..."
Ning Lan squatted on the side of the road, constantly patting her head, completely unlike her usual dignified appearance.
Even that action is a bit crazy!
Seeing Ning Xi coming, Sister Ma hurriedly said, "Oh Ning Xi, you're finally here! The child is missing! Your aunt is going crazy!"
Ning Xi rushed into the crowd and was also shocked when she saw Ning Lan's appearance. She hurriedly grabbed her wrist to stop her from hitting her head. "Aunt! Aunt, calm down, calm down!"
Hearing her voice, Ning Lan paused for a moment, and her fearful eyes cleared up again, "Xixi..."
She saw Ning Xi clearly in front of her, and suddenly grabbed her and said, "Xixi! Xixi! The child is gone, the child is gone! I just said a few words, and he ran away, disappeared, disappeared... Blame me, it's all my fault..."
Having said this, she started beating herself again.
Ning Xi became even more anxious when she found that Ning Lan was blaming herself and was completely unable to communicate.
Yan Ming didn't leave. He parked his car and walked over to see the situation. He asked the police officer next to him, "Excuse me, what's going on now?"
"We just arrived not long ago. They said the child was lost. We searched everywhere but couldn't find him, but they couldn't explain the details of what happened." The police said helplessly.
Yan Ming frowned and looked at Ning Lan and Ning Xi lying on the ground. He said, "Doctor Ning, why don't you tell the police about the child's characteristics and let them go first."
Ning Xi also noticed that Ning Lan seemed to be in a bad mood at the moment, but the child's matter was more important, so she couldn't ask any more questions.
After hearing Yan Ming's words, he asked Sister Ma to take care of Ning Lan, and then stood up to describe Shuo Shuo's characteristics to the police.
"Do you have any photos?" asked the policeman.
"Yes!" Ning Xi took out a photo of Shuo Shuo from her phone.
The police took a photo and asked her what clothes the child was wearing today and where the child liked to play.
But Ning Xi didn't know. Instead, Sister Ma, who had been listening, said, "Blue, a blue short-sleeved shirt, and underneath are white shorts!"
"Yes, yes, I saw it too!" other old neighbors echoed.
Ning Xi thanked them hurriedly. The police officer took notes and said, "Well, one of you will go with me to the police station to check the surveillance footage. The rest of you will think about where he usually plays. I will call for backup and we will come over to search separately."
Ning Xi looked back at Ning Lan when she heard that. She couldn't help at all now. Apart from Qin Yan, only Mo You was familiar with Shuo Shuo.
"I'll go with them to check the surveillance." Yan Ming said again.
Ning Xi looked at him in a daze. Yan Ming said with a serious and steady expression, "I've seen him before and I remember what he looks like. You can take the police to look for him nearby. It will be faster that way."
Ning Xi opened her mouth, but she couldn't say no.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Yan." She said sincerely with gratitude.
Yan Ming nodded, curled his lips slightly, and then left the crowd with a policeman.
Before I walked far, I saw a silver car stopped not far away.
Qin Yan hurriedly got out of the car and after a few steps he saw the man walking towards him.
He paused, frowned slightly, and noticed his clothes.
Yan Ming also looked at him, but just glanced at him indifferently without slowing down.
Qin Yan also started walking again, and soon the two passed each other.
Yan Ming came to the car and before getting in, he looked over there again and watched Qin Yan squeeze into the crowd.
It turns out that it was really him.
When Qin Yan entered the crowd, he saw Ning Lan squatting on the ground crying, and Ning Xi was talking to the police with a frown and a pale face.
Qin Yan's brows darkened. After Ning Xi finished talking to the police, he said, "Can you check the surveillance footage and call a few more people?"
When Ning Xi heard his voice, she realized that he was coming. She looked at him hurriedly and opened her mouth slightly but hadn't said anything yet. Qin Yan already knew what she was thinking and nodded to her.
Ning Xi didn't know why she suddenly trusted him so much. Seeing the relieved look on his face, her anxious heart seemed to feel better.
The police officer also glanced at Qin Yan and said, "I've sent one of you to check the surveillance footage. Support will be here soon."
"Then let's search separately first and wait until there's news from the surveillance." Qin Yan said.
The police nodded and thought so too.
The old neighbors who were watching the fun around saw that they were going to look for it again, and they spontaneously wanted to help too.
Ning Xi entrusted Ning Lan to the care of the familiar Aunt Ma, and teamed up with a few neighbors to look for her in one direction.
For a while, people were looking for the child within a few miles.
"Shuo Shuo! Shuo Shuo!"
Ning Xi followed the direction Shuo Shuo might go, made trumpet shapes with her hands, and called Shuo Shuo's name all the way.
But as time passed, the sun set from noon to afternoon, and Ning Xi's inner anxiety became more intense.
Even, there are some terrible thoughts in my mind.
She even blamed herself, wondering why she didn't bring her child with her.
Ning Xi was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't notice the danger coming until she was suddenly pulled away and bumped into a hard chest. Only then did she snap out of her self-blame.
A large truck sped past her, and the hot wind blowing in her face, carrying dust from the roadside, blinded her eyes.
It wasn't until the truck was gone that she raised her head and looked at the people who were protecting her.
Qin Yan looked down at her, his cold face showing a very serious expression.
If he hadn't happened to find this place and saw her walking straight towards the intersection, he would not have noticed the speeding truck at all.
He couldn't imagine what would happen to her.
The feeling that his heart almost jumped out of his chest made him feel a little scared for the first time.
He wanted to scold her and ask her if she wanted to live.
However, when he lowered his head and met her anxious eyes, the scolding words suddenly stopped in his mouth and could no longer be uttered.
After a moment of silence, Qin Yan pulled her completely into his arms, hugging her thin and even slightly trembling body.
He didn't understand why he did this, but there was a voice in his heart telling him that it was the right thing to do.
Ning Xi leaned in his arms, her face against his shoulder. Her eyes, narrowed by the wind and sand, could no longer hold back and she shed warm tears, wetting his clothes and burning his heart.
…
In the empty bus, Shuo Shuo curled up his legs and hid in the last seat.
The outside environment has changed from a big city with tall buildings to a remote urban and rural road.
"Swish!" The brake valve sounded and the bus stopped. The driver got off the bus with a cup of water, not noticing that there was a child hiding in the back.
Shuoshuo looked at the completely unfamiliar scenery outside. After a moment's hesitation, he secretly got out of the car and walked along the secluded path towards the mountain trail he remembered. "Okay, I have a cold too... Ahhh, I feel dizzy and my eyes are so sore!!!"
