Sun Xiaohao continued to wander around the other train cars, but this time he wasn't looking for traffickers. He was looking for the train staff. After all, he was just a "child" who had been separated from his family and needed someone to help him get home.
Soon, the train attendant's voice, pushing a small cart, could be heard shouting, "Cigarettes, sunflower seeds, big bowls of noodles, beer, drinks, mineral water..."
Sun Xiaohao immediately aimed at the "target" and burst into tears, scaring the passengers next to him.
At this moment, the passengers' expressions were varied, with varying attitudes. Some frowned, some complained out loud, "Whose child is not looking after...", and some, like the kind-hearted old lady before, came over to comfort Sun Xiaohao.
Sun Xiaohao took the opportunity to speak out loudly about his "experience", crying and saying: "I got separated from my sister, I can't find my sister, I can't go back to my grandma's house, wuwuwu~ I don't have parents, I only have my sister..."
Although Sun Xiaohao's words were intermittent and a little incoherent, everyone still got some key information from her words: she had no parents and was separated from her only sister.
Alas, he turned out to be a poor orphan!
The passenger who had just frowned and complained suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart, and was deeply annoyed by his unloving and impatient behavior.
In order to express their apologies, several passengers around generously took out the food they brought with them and gave it to Sun Xiaohao, and some passengers even stuffed a few coins into Sun Xiaohao's hands.
By the time the sales attendant arrived with the cart, Sun Xiaohao was already surrounded by passengers.
"Make way, make way, what's going on? Why are you all stuck here? Go back to your seats and let me pass!" the flight attendant shouted.
When the passengers saw the flight attendant coming, instead of making way immediately, they surrounded the flight attendant and talked about something in a flurry. The flight attendant thought it was very noisy. If the passengers had not made any movements with their hands, she would have thought that everyone was going to rob her.
She immediately shouted at the top of her lungs, "Quiet, quiet! This is a public place. Everyone, please be considerate of other travelers. If you have any concerns, please speak up one by one. I can't understand what you're saying if you're being so chaotic!"
At this time, a loud-mouthed middle-aged female passenger stepped forward to help the flight attendant maintain order. She pushed Sun Xiaohao in front of the flight attendant and shouted, "Everyone, stop for a moment. The child is here. Let's let the child talk to the flight attendant himself."
The passengers quickly quieted down after hearing the two people's calls. The flight attendant looked at Sun Xiaohao, whose face was still covered with tears, and asked, "Little boy, what happened to you? Did you get separated from the adults?"
Trains are often crowded, and it is not uncommon for children to get separated from adults. Train attendants have seen this happen many times, so the first thing they thought of was this.
Sun Xiaohao nodded and said, "Auntie, I got in the car with my sister. She said she would take me to my grandma's house. I went to the bathroom and couldn't find her when I came back!"
The attendant asked, "Do you know which car your sister and you were in? I'll take you to find it!"
Sun Xiaohao shook his head and said, "I don't remember!"
The attendant then asked, "What's your sister's name? Auntie, please ask the broadcasting room to announce it on the train!"
Sun Xiaohao replied: "My sister's name is Qian Niandi!"
The attendant said, "Well, come with me to the broadcasting room. Your sister must be looking for you anxiously because she saw you didn't go home! Don't cry, just follow me. The broadcasting room is in the car not far ahead!"
Afterwards, the attendant pushed the vending cart, occasionally looking back at Sun Xiaohao who was following behind, and took him directly to the broadcasting room.
Soon, the train started broadcasting a message about a child looking for his family. The announcer was worried that Sun Xiaohao's sister might miss the message due to the noise on the train, so he repeated the message every once in a while.
However, time passed by minute by minute, and half a day had passed. When they were about to reach the terminal, no one came to look for the child.
If no one came to look for him when he got off the train, it could only mean that Sun Xiaohao's family had gotten off the train earlier. In this case, they would contact Sun Xiaohao's family directly and wait for a passing train to take him to a specific train station.
As the terminal announcement sounded, the passengers on the train got off one after another. Sun Xiaohao stared at the door of the broadcasting room with a pitiful look on his face.
During the few hours he was waiting for Sun Xiaohao's family to come, the flight attendants gave him bread, ham, mineral water and other food so that he didn't starve.
However, the flight attendants can empathize with the grievance and helplessness of such a young child when he cannot find his family.
After arriving at the station, the staff immediately called the family phone number provided by Sun Xiaohao, and it was still Mrs. Zhan who answered the call.
After finishing their business in Jiangyuan City, the two sons of the Zhan family went to the train station. When the train that Qian Niandi mentioned arrived, they waited for a long time but there was no sign of their niece and two nephews.
Zhan Baoyu thought that the information given by his mother was wrong, so he called home to confirm again. Mrs. Zhan said with certainty that it was that train.
This time, the entire Zhan family was beginning to get worried. It looked like the three siblings either didn't get on the train or something had happened along the way.
If you think about it carefully, it is unlikely that she didn't get on the train, because Qian Niandi is a sensible person. If she didn't get on the train, she would definitely say hello to her family in advance.
That left only one possibility. The Zhan family members were a little frightened, thinking: This can't be such a coincidence?
They knew too well what kind of targets the human traffickers liked to prey on. Aren’t Qian Niandi and her two younger brothers the best targets?
Oh, if only they could be more cautious and find someone to pick up the children. But now is not the time to regret, they need to find a solution!
Zhan Baoyu quickly called Director Guo, whom he had just met, told him the general situation, and asked him to help send someone to inquire about the child.
After several hours of searching and waiting, the Zhan family finally got news of their child.
The other party claimed to be a train station staff member and asked, "Excuse me, do you have a child named Qian Xiaoshu at home?"
Qian Xiaoshu? Mrs. Zhan didn't realize who the other person was talking about.
Because the child had always lived in the old Qian family, the Zhan family had hardly ever seen him. It was not until they heard that the first Xiaoshu was lost and the family's grandson, the real Qian Xiaoshu, had returned that they began to have some expectations for this child.
