Lin Xuefeng looked quite helpless.
He squatted down, looking at the child in front of him with a gentle look, and couldn't help but touch her messy hair on the other side that was not tied into a pigtail: "Little boy, where are your parents?"
But the other party's round eyes looked at him blankly, like two balls of black mercury, very smart. After a little thought, the white and tender cheeks still grinned, and stretched out her chubby hands to him again:
"Daddy, hug me!"
Lin Xuefeng: ...
In his heart, he complained about those irresponsible parents and wondered how such a child could appear in the scenic area so early in the morning. But his hand involuntarily reached through the fence, carefully avoiding two soft rose branches, and took the chubby girl out.
So light!
Having never raised a child, she didn't know that the fat on a child of this size was milk fat and was not as heavy as she had imagined. At this moment, she could only lower her eyebrows and look at the other person: "What's your name?"
The girl grinned, her white baby teeth were very cute: "My name is Lin Yuwei! Lin from Lin Xuefeng, Yu from Huaiyu, and Wei from Qiangwei!"
Lin Xuefeng was stunned.
He subconsciously hugged the child tighter again, looking at the other's increasingly familiar eyebrows and eyes, and asked again in a low voice: "Who are your parents?"
Was it a prank? He looked around the deserted area.
But at this early morning hour, even the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple had not come out yet, let alone the service desk of the scenic area.
The chubby girl in his arms wrapped her soft arms around his neck, pressed her slightly cool cheek against his cheek, and then kissed him hard, with a lot of saliva sticking to her: "Dad, what are you asking? Mom is gone - the wind here smells so good! So fresh and fragrant!"
For a moment, Lin Xuefeng felt that his heart had turned into a pool of soft water following the little girl's soft kiss. He even subconsciously hugged her tightly, feeling that he could never love her enough.
How could there be such a cute little girl? If he had a daughter in the future...
wrong!
He reacted and quickly regained his composure, then sighed, "Little Confused."
It seemed that he could not get anything out of the child. No one should be working in the service area at this time. He sighed and said to the girl, "I'll take you down the mountain to the police station first."
He first went into the Taoist temple to ask the Taoist priest inside, and then left his contact information, asking anyone to contact him if they came looking for the child.
By the way, I looked at the police contact information on the wall and called them first:
"...Yes, a little girl, about five or six years old...I don't know. She said her name was Lin Yuwei...I didn't see her parents...How did I get into the scenic area? Oh, I have lifetime free ticket rights...Yes, I'm going down the mountain to take her to the police station now..."
The little girl didn't cry or make a fuss. She just held his neck firmly and watched him walk down the steps. Then she suddenly asked, "Dad, why don't you use water?"
"What water?" Lin Xuefeng asked with a smile, "Are you thirsty?"
After asking this question, he was a little puzzled: Why does it seem so natural to hear people call him dad? The little girl looked at him with big eyes, and then sighed in the same way: "Dad, you've become stupid!"
"The roses don't talk either. It's so strange. The big trees around them don't talk either."
Children always have some childish words that adults can hardly understand. Lin Xuefeng couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, I can talk to you. What's your father's name?"
"Dad!" The girl twisted her chubby body and took out a gold pendant from her neck - it was a gold Bagua plate woven with gold hollow craftsmanship. It looked very heavy. At the current market price, it would cost at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
It was also inlaid with various colorful pearls and jades such as rubies and emerald green. Lin Xuefeng couldn't help but frowned. He wondered which careless parents not only left their daughter alone in the mountains, but also allowed her to wear such valuable things.
The little girl pressed one side of the compass, and the golden cover opened, revealing a small photo inside: "Dad, have you forgotten your name? Your name is Lin Xuefeng! Lin of forest, Xue of Snow White, Feng of wind."
Lin Xuefeng stared at it, stunned and speechless.
It was because in that small photo, his face was clearly there, with a young woman with a lively face beside him, and a chubby little girl in between them, who looked like Lin Yuwei in his arms.
He quickly put the girl down, then squatted to one side and looked at the photo carefully.
It didn't look like a composite, the woman beside him was smiling brightly. That smile looked very much like... what did it look like?
He pondered for a while before realizing that it looked very much like his own picture of Rozen Maiden.
And that man.
He clearly had the same facial features as himself, except for a slightly different hairstyle. Unlike the immaturity in his own eyes and brows, the other person had a calm expression, a pleasant smile, a unique calm temperament, and an irrepressible happiness in his eyebrows and eyes.
He subconsciously took out his cell phone and looked at himself.
In addition to being filled with astonishment, his more youthful features concealed a bit more melancholy than the other person's.
How could...
At this moment, he was in a state of confusion.
But the girl in front of him had already let go of his clothes and then jumped down the stairs. He came to his senses and quickly grabbed her: "It's too dangerous."
The girl didn't understand his painstaking efforts, and now she just asked again: "Dad, I want to ride in a sedan chair."
Lin Xuefeng's messy thoughts hadn't been sorted out yet when he heard such a strange request. He looked even more speechless: "There is no sedan chair now."
I refused but felt a little regretful. Why did you come so early? If I waited until there were a lot of tourists, I could really hire a sedan chair.
The girl pouted: "Dad!"
She stomped her feet cutely, and half of her messy hair exploded again, then she turned her head away stubbornly: "Humph!"
"Dad, if you don't make a sedan for me, I will make one myself!"
After she finished speaking, she gently pulled the branches at hand, and in an instant, the surrounding plants rustled and moved like snakes in the forest. Then thousands of vines gathered together, and soon, under the strange command of the children, they formed an equally strange and twisted sedan chair.
Lin Xuefeng stood there with his mouth wide open. He had never seen such a strange scene in his life.
For a moment, he even wanted to pat himself to see if he was still dreaming.
But the girl had already sat in it happily, then turned around and said coquettishly again, "Dad! I made the sedan myself, can you make a water baby to help me carry it?"
She patted her chest with her chubby hands, and said sweetly, "The baby is too heavy. It's so hard to hold him! The baby loves daddy."
Lin Xuefeng found it difficult to describe his feelings.
The strange scene like Alice in Sleepwalking was still before my eyes. The other self in the girl's photo was familiar yet strange. This deserted Sanqing Mountain, and Lin Xuefeng's daughter on the mountain...
In short.
So weird.
It was so strange and scary, but when he looked into the girl's lively big eyes, his heart was filled with helplessness as soft as cotton.
After a moment, he sighed heavily: "I'm sorry, I don't know what a water baby is... I," he wanted to say that I'm probably not your father, but he was afraid of making the child cry, so he changed his words: "I'd better take you down the mountain to find the police first."
There is a police station at the foot of the mountain, so let the police take a closer look at this matter.
But the branch just now...
He frowned. He hadn't figured out how to deal with the situation yet. He didn't even know the other party's origins. He could only numbly walk down the mountain holding the child, and take things one step at a time.
The little girl in his arms didn't sit in the sedan chair. She wrinkled her round nose and waved her hand like a little adult: "Okay, Dad, I know you don't want others to see... What do you want to find the police for? Is the defense army uncle going to be a policeman?"
Lin Xuefeng took a deep breath: "Little...Lin Yuwei."
"Hmm?" The little girl quickly turned to look at him, and then curiously touched the wrinkle between his eyebrows: "Daddy, are you unhappy? Let me kiss you."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After saying that, she gave him another soft kiss on the cheek.
Even though Lin Xuefeng was filled with worries, he could only stare blankly for a while, and then let out a long sigh.
He realized that the girl in front of him was extremely sensitive to emotions, so he could only try to dispel the heavy worries as much as possible and asked, "What do your parents do?"
"Farmers!" The other party said proudly: "Dad, I remember everything! Our farm has 1,924 acres! Rose Corridor is responsible for half, Aunt Kuang Biao is responsible for half! Uncle is responsible for all!"
Let’s not talk about the 1924 acres of land, but this “Rose Corridor” and “Auntie Crazy Biao”…
Lin Yuwei blinked: "The Rose Corridor is the Rose Corridor. Auntie Kuang Biao...Auntie Kuang Biao said it is a mutant. If you don't like it, Dad, I can call it Uncle Kuang Biao. It's fine!"
It’s just that my uncle and aunt haven’t decided yet. Alas, they are still single even though they are several years old. My aunt Kuang Biao quarrels with Grandpa Gao every day, and it’s so fierce! Really, being a bamboo is so troublesome!
The relationship is more complicated.
Lin Xuefeng couldn't even tell whether what she said was true or a fairy tale world imagined by the little girl. But the newly woven branch sedan was still slowly disintegrating behind her...
He was exhausted and said weakly, "Then... do you remember where you farmed?"
The girl stopped talking.
After a while, she gently rubbed Lin Xuefeng's brows: "Dad, are you unhappy? Our home is at the foot of Sanqing Mountain..."
She was surprised: "Are we going to run away from home without telling mom? Wow! Aunt Kuang Biao did the same thing! Dad! Let's go to Huacheng to find Uncle Tang! His house is so big, we can hide there!"
The little kid was eager to try it out, probably because he had never experienced such excitement before, and he was looking forward to it. Lin Xuefeng gave up asking her questions and just whispered, "Can you hide your ability to weave branches?"
"I will hide it." The other party said as a matter of course: "Dad, you have to hide it too! Mom said that many people like Dad's ability. I have to hide Dad."
…
The police station at the foot of the mountain is not quiet.
Amidst the chaotic backdrop, the small office was filled with a few fraudsters and the deceived, with chatter and chatter all over the place. No one was responsible for such a serious matter as the child being lost, so the newly appointed director had to be directly held responsible.
The team leader was a serious, dark-faced man who looked young, probably in his early thirties. I heard he was a retired civilian. Lin Xuefeng looked at the bulletin board outside and learned that the man's name was Zhou Qian.
At this moment, Director Zhou's sharp eyes swept across the little girl's face like a searchlight, and then looked deeply at the reporter: "Lin Xuefeng, right?"
"Yes." Lin Xuefeng vaguely sensed something was wrong.
"Lin Yuwei, is that so?" The other party tried to pinch his throat and looked at the little girl softly.
However, the girl, who was as white and tender as a fat lotus root, was not afraid. Instead, she stretched out her hand to him and said, "Uncle, hug me!"
The other party was subconsciously stunned, and then cleared his throat rather unnaturally, but facing the girl's expectant eyes, he still stretched out his hands somewhat awkwardly.
The moment he let go, Lin Xuefeng was extremely reluctant.
Holding the soft girl in his arms, as if holding a ball of marshmallow that could melt at any time, the young police station chief stared at Lin Xuefeng and said, "I'll say it again. You will be held responsible for making a false alarm, and you will also be held severely responsible for abandoning a child."
Lin Xuefeng: ...
His eyes were filled with pain. “I know this is outrageous, but I really just saw her on the mountain this morning. Little friend, I am not your father at all. We are different.”
"I don't understand!" The little girl smiled sweetly: "Dad, when are we going home?"
Hearing this, Director Zhou looked at him fiercely again, his eyes moving around the golden Bagua plate on the other's chest. He obviously still remembered the photo that the girl had shown him enthusiastically just now.
To be honest, Lin Xuefeng felt that if that glance could materialize, it would have peeled off a layer of skin from his body.
The other person was holding the child and operating the computer with one hand. At this moment, he looked up and stared at him: "You grown man have no sense of responsibility. You didn't even register the child's household registration - he didn't get vaccinated, right? Without the vaccination certificate, has the child gone to kindergarten?"
Lin Xuefeng had no words to say! Little Lin Yuwei seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not right. She hugged Director Zhou's neck again and asked sweetly, "Uncle, where is my aunt?"
"Call me uncle." Director Zhou corrected, then said embarrassedly: "No aunt, I'm not married yet."
Lin Yuwei's small face was filled with confusion: "Uncle, do you want to be beaten? If aunt is angry, I won't help you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the office door: "Hello, I'm here to see Zhou Qian——"
The office door was not closed, and a heroic young woman walked in. Her wheat-colored skin was tight and smooth, and her eyes were particularly sharp.
"Aunt!" The girl in her arms stretched out her hand towards her: "Are you here to see uncle? I can't say bad things about uncle! He said he wasn't married, I didn't hear it!"
"Uncle?" The man raised his eyebrows, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes. He then took the baby very smoothly and hugged it skillfully: "You are Zhou Qian, right? Didn't the introducer say that you only have a sister who is still in high school? How come you are an uncle now?"
The scene in front of him was a bit chaotic. The girl looked at everyone with curious eyes. Everything was so strange, but somehow, Lin Xuefeng wanted to laugh.
