Chapter 284 Precocious Child
Fan Licheng was indeed a very well behaved boy. He was a little shy at first, but after getting in the car, he became more comfortable. This was also because Gao Mingcheng deliberately tried to get closer to him.
Children are easy to approach, especially when they are on the road, where the environment is unfamiliar. At this time, the only person who is somewhat familiar to them becomes their support.
When the two were chatting, Gao Mingcheng realized that Fan Licheng actually didn't want to go to Yangcheng.
"That's the home of my father, new mother and sister, not my home," said Fan Licheng.
Gao Mingcheng understood as soon as he heard it. This was still a remarried family. He just didn't know whether Fan Licheng's mother was dead or divorced.
Gao Mingcheng was afraid of hurting the child's sensitive heart, so he didn't ask. Instead, Fan Licheng took the initiative to say, "My mother also has a family in Hong Kong. She also gave birth to a younger brother for me. Last time she came to me and said she wanted to take me to Hong Kong, but my grandparents wouldn't let her."
"My grandparents also have a home, but I don't have one." Fan Licheng sighed precociously, then stared out the window in a daze.
Gao Mingcheng glanced at him, this little brat is so smart!
He said, "It's okay. Grow up quickly. In ten years, you can get married and have children. Then you'll have a family!"
If it were another child, they might be shy, but Fan Licheng thought about it carefully, then became happy and said with a smile: "Yes, I really want to grow up and get married soon!"
Gao Mingcheng smiled and asked Fan Licheng what kind of wife he wanted.
Fan Licheng really thought about it, and then said: "I don't know what kind of person I should find, but I know what kind of person I can't find. I can't find someone like my mother and my new mother."
Gao Mingcheng was silent for a few seconds, but he couldn't help but get curious and asked, "Why?"
There’s nothing wrong in not liking your new mother, but why don’t you like your biological mother either?
Fan Licheng said: "My new mother is a vixen, but my mother is a bigger vixen."
Fan Licheng looked at Gao Mingcheng and said, "Uncle Gao, do you know what a vixen is? They are very beautiful women, but they are also very bad."
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but take a closer look at Fan Licheng's facial features. Although he didn't know what his parents looked like, Fan Licheng was indeed a handsome boy. He was hiding behind his grandmother before and always kept his head down, so he hadn't seen him clearly.
Now Fan Licheng looked up at Gao Mingcheng, and Gao Mingcheng could just see his face completely. His facial features were very delicate and soft, his skin was fair, and his temperament was very gentle and indifferent.
Although he is young, he is very precocious in thinking.
Children in later generations mature early because they are exposed to too much and diverse information. However, children nowadays live in a relatively monotonous environment, so they are all silly and cheerful, and will not become sensible and mature until very late.
Gao Mingcheng looked away and continued driving, but he said, "Fox spirit is sometimes used as an insult, and sometimes as a compliment. Not every woman is qualified to be a fox spirit. When you say they are bad, are they bad for you?"
Fan Licheng shook his head and said, "No, my mom can't bear to be mean to me, but my new mom doesn't dare to be mean to me. But I know they are all mean, well, my mom is even worse. My new mom doesn't even dare to breathe in front of her. She once accidentally said something about me, but she quickly begged me not to tell my mom."
He tilted his head, looked at the scenery outside the window that kept receding, and continued: "I didn't tell my mother because I can accept her making a little mistake."
The more Gao Mingcheng listened to this gossip, the more exciting it became. In his heart, he was thinking: Is this something I can listen to without paying?
Originally, he thought about whether he should ask Fan Licheng about the situation of their porcelain kiln, such as what kind of porcelain was produced and which one was the best.
I want to find out whether those antique porcelains are real or fake.
But now seeing that Fan Licheng was so precocious, Gao Mingcheng gave up the idea.
Never mind, no matter what he does, he just drives!
But his mood was somewhat different. He had shipped goods to Guangzhou many times before, but he thought they were just ordinary fine porcelain. He never imagined that there was a batch of suspected antique porcelain hidden here.
He thought about Fan Licheng's father opening a shop in Guangzhou and Fan Licheng's mother in Hong Kong, and felt that the relationships in their family were too complicated.
Gao Mingcheng drove in silence, and Fan Licheng stopped talking too, looking out the window with interest. Suddenly, he shouted, "Stop!"
Gao Mingcheng knew that he was precocious and would not act naughty on purpose, so he slowly stopped the car and then asked him the reason.
Fan Licheng pointed to a place and said, "Uncle Gao, there is a man lying in the woods over there! Is he dead?"
Gao Mingcheng looked in the direction Fan Licheng pointed, and sure enough, he saw a man lying on his back in the woods by the roadside.
When Gao Mingcheng was driving, his attention was focused on the road conditions ahead and he didn't notice that there was a person lying on the side of the road.
Looking at the position where he was lying and his motionless posture, Gao Mingcheng felt that this man was not trying to scam people but was really in trouble.
"Let's go, get out of the car and take a look!" Gao Mingcheng opened the car door and jumped out first.
Fan Licheng also wanted to jump, but the truck was a little too high for him.
"Let me carry you!" Gao Mingcheng easily carried Fan Licheng out of the car.
The two of them, one big and one small, walked towards the man on the side of the road. Before they got close, Gao Mingcheng said, "Hey, brother, what's wrong with you?"
But the man remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard it.
Gao Mingcheng saw this and thought something was wrong, so he stepped forward and turned the man over. As a result, he felt something was wrong. The man's body was stiff. When he looked at his face, he saw a wound, but it was no longer bleeding. His skin was blue and pale, and he was obviously not breathing.
"Uncle Gao, how did he die?" Fan Licheng asked curiously. He remained calm when he suddenly encountered a dead body.
Gao Mingcheng was still sizing up the state of the corpse, and then he gave his guess: "He must have been robbed."
Since he was already dead, he didn't care so much. He stood up, looked around, confirmed the location, and then said, "Let's go. We have to take a detour and go to the local police station to report the discovery of the body and ask them to send someone to investigate and collect the body."
"Oh." Fan Licheng responded, not averse to taking a detour.
He looked at the corpse without any fear. Before leaving, he suddenly said, "My mother once said that no matter how precious something is, it is not as valuable as my life. If someone wants to steal my things, let me throw them away."
"Did he get killed because he didn't give up his things? But after he was killed, the things he tried so hard to keep were still taken away by others."
Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but give Fan Licheng a slap on the head. Why was he so precocious at such a young age?
"Don't worry about it, the police will find out."
Gao Mingcheng got in the car and drove from the national highway to the town, then found the nearest police station, told them about the body found on the roadside, and asked them to investigate the cause of death and contact the deceased's family.
Because it was already night, Gao Mingcheng simply took Fan Licheng to stay here for one night and set off again tomorrow morning.
Although Fan Licheng was precocious, he was still young after all, so Gao Mingcheng only asked for a room. As a result, Fan Licheng said, "Uncle Gao, the goods on the truck are very expensive. Shouldn't we stay in the truck to guard it at night?"
Gao Mingcheng glanced at him and said deliberately: "They are just some porcelain, not worth wearing or eating. Besides, no matter how expensive the things are, they have no value as long as they are not sold."
