By the time they discovered it, it was too late. The community surveillance showed that their daughter had left the house twenty minutes ago.
Kong Antong quickly called another parent and confirmed that the other parent's daughter had also left home at the same time.
The matter was too urgent, so Kong Antong didn't bother to meet the other party and went outside to look for him.
As soon as they left the community, they were stopped by an old lady.
The old woman was hunched over, an aftereffect of the hard work she did when she was young. She couldn't even straighten her body when she was talking to them.
Kong Antong was almost anxious to death at this time. He wanted to push the old woman away and continue walking, but the old woman grabbed his arm.
"Young man, did I just hear you were looking for a child?"
Kong Antong stopped, turned around and took the old woman's hand: "Auntie, have you seen my daughter? She is a girl wearing a yellow cotton-padded jacket and has hair like a boy."
The old woman nodded gently and said, “I just saw her walking towards the east with a little girl. She said she was going to look for someone. You should go and look for them quickly.”
Kong Antong thanked the old woman and ran quickly in the direction he said.
When they were halfway there, the wife suddenly stopped, grabbed her husband's hand, and slapped her head: "We were cheated. When we went to the security guard to check the surveillance, there was no one else around.
We didn't mention this incident on the roadside after we came out. How could she, who was not there at all, know that we were going to look for our daughter?
Besides, Qiqi's home is quite far from us. They both left home at about the same time, so how could they possibly meet at the gate of the community?"
After hearing this, Kong Antong came to his senses. He turned around to look for the old woman, but found that she had disappeared.
After realizing that he had been cheated, the man decided to look in the opposite direction, and sure enough, he saw his daughter by a river.
They were a step too late, and their daughter was already lying on the ground, soaking wet.
He rushed forward and held his daughter in his arms, and was criticized for a long time by the people around him.
The kind-hearted man who saved the two girls was lying on the ground gasping for breath. He was a retired athlete who usually had the habit of running outdoors.
As soon as I ran to the park today, I saw two girls standing motionless by the river.
She was afraid that the little girl was in danger, so she wanted to go down and persuade them to leave. After taking two steps, she saw two children jumping down hand in hand.
Fortunately, they were all wearing down jackets and did not sink to the bottom immediately, which gave him a chance to rescue them.
Knowing the whole story, Kong Antong knelt down in front of his savior.
The man waved his hand and said, "Your children should go to the hospital. It's too cold now. They were just pulled out of the water. They will definitely get sick."
Seeing the two people holding the child and about to leave, the man thought for a moment and couldn't help but remind them: "Sir, when I rescued them just now, they didn't struggle at all. They looked like lifeless dolls.
I suggest you ask someone who knows the subject.”
After sending his daughter to the hospital, Kong Antong couldn't feel at ease. He asked his wife to take good care of his daughter and took Zhou Cong to the school gate to ask about the old lady.
He had a strong intuition that his daughter's problem must be related to her.
Unlike what he had expected, they quickly found someone who was familiar with the old woman.
The older sister of the bun shop looked at the portrait in her hand, her face full of regret: "This old woman is also a pitiful person. According to herself, she has four children, but they are all unfilial.
They all worked in other places and didn't care about her life or death. In order to make a living, she, a woman in her seventies, had to go out and do some small business.
The merchants around here see that she is alone and helpless, so they take extra care of her. We even want to have her have dinner at our home during the New Year so that she won’t be alone.
Unexpectedly, things happened unexpectedly. A week ago, she was hit by a drunk driver when she went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
The driver was afraid of taking responsibility, so he fled without even calling the police.
By the time the surrounding merchants got up, she had already died from excessive blood loss.
All her unfilial children suddenly showed up and argued about who was her most beloved child, just to get a bigger share of the compensation.
The old lady may have felt unwilling to die like this, and she often made strange noises around here, which many merchants had heard.
But we all know her personality, so we're not too scared. We're just waiting for her to figure it out and leave."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the two of them suspiciously and said, "Why are you trying to find out about her? Could it be that you are the lawyers hired by the other party and want to use our confession to get less compensation?
Although we also feel that we should not pay compensation to those unscrupulous people, it is a human life after all, and giving less would be too much.
Auntie advises you not to do such shameful things."
The two men's faces were pale, especially Kong Antong. If the old woman was really dead, why would she suddenly appear beside him and point him in the wrong direction?
What role did she play in her daughter's strange behavior?
Seeing that the eldest sister was looking at him with a defensive look, in order to get the remaining information, they hurriedly assured their aunt that they had nothing to do with either the perpetrator.
Then, he took out his daughter's photo and said, "Sister, do these two children look familiar to you?"
The bun shop lady's suspicions were completely aroused. She looked the two of them up and down and said, "You keep asking for other people's information. Do you have any bad intentions?"
Kong Antong hurriedly explained: "Sister, you misunderstood. This child is my daughter. I saw that she was very unhappy recently and kept talking about grandma. I wanted to ask what was going on."
In order to prove his identity, he also found photos of his daughter when she was a child to prove that he was not lying.
After a series of proofs, the lady in the bun shop finally believed his words, and the smile on her face became more sincere.
"Your daughter is a good kid, or rather, all the kids in this school are good.
They usually take the initiative to help us clean up the garbage left by the previous guests on the table, and occasionally they will come back to pay if we forget to pay.
Because of the aunt's physical condition and age, her classmates at school took good care of her and often gave her the bottles and quilts saved by the school.
Your daughter and another little girl should be the ones in charge of this matter in the class. They come over to accompany the elderly every now and then.
Every time they come, the aunt is very happy and says that she would be satisfied if her children were half as thoughtful as hers.
I think your daughter's change is also related to the old lady's passing. After all, anyone would be unhappy if an old person who had been with her for so long suddenly passed away. "
