Chapter 57: Haven’t You Found It?

Li Xiaoya grabbed Sheng Yuxiao's sleeve even harder and barely pulled the furious boy back to his side.

"Does he know me?" asked Li Xiaoya.

"What?" Sheng Yuxiao was stunned for a moment, then calmed down a little.

Then he followed Li Xiaoya's gaze and looked at the man on the ground. He frowned and said hesitantly, "I think he may still have some kind of mental illness..."

The staff gathered around him, but they didn't dare to help him up, so they had to squat down and ask, "Hello, who are you? Do you know our guest? Hello?"

This person doesn't pay attention to the voices of anyone around him.

The staff couldn't help but look at each other, and then made a more confused sound: "Can't he hear the sound?"

"You're not really a psychopath, are you? You don't look like one in that outfit."

"Should we call the police?"

"See if he has any contact information?"

"He doesn't have a mental illness." Li Xiaoya's voice sounded again, "He must be deaf-mute. I just saw him using sign language with someone. But it seems like no one here understands sign language."

"It turns out that he really can't hear us talking."

"Then...what should we do about this?"

"Why does he seem to still be crying?"

“It looks very pitiful.”

The staff were at a loss as to what to do, and in the end they could only look to the minor Sheng Yuxiao for help.

Sheng Yuxiao did not look at the "deaf-mute" again. He cursed: "...The ice cream cone fell to the ground."

Li Xiaoya took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands.

That was the sticky milk stain left on his hand when the cone fell.

"It's a bit of a pity. It should be very expensive." said Li Xiaoya.

When Sheng Yuxiao heard this, he laughed instead: "What's the big deal? It's just a pity that you waited here for a long time in vain, and in the end you didn't even get a bite to eat, and the whole thing fell to the floor."

After he finished speaking, Sheng Yuxiao's face turned serious and he asked, "Did you see this person using sign language with someone else just now?"

"Yeah." Li Xiaoya nodded and pointed outside the glass window. "He was outside just now, and seemed to be asking someone something. But no one paid attention to him. Then he saw me and came in."

Sheng Yuxiao frowned: "Why did you choose you? Do you think that children are easy to bully?"

"He hasn't done anything yet, and you're here."

Sheng Yuxiao curled the corner of his mouth, but he wasn't too embarrassed.

He turned around and walked up to the "deaf-mute" and asked, "Why are you pinching my sister's face?"

The man who had remained motionless in response to the staff's questions just now looked up and paid some attention to Sheng Yuxiao.

"Can you hear?" Sheng Yuxiao paused and quickly made a judgment, "He is not born deaf-mute, but acquired mute?"

The man didn't react again, and even the expression on his face didn't change.

But the tears were still on his face, making him look miserable.

Li Xiaoya held the table with one hand and leaned forward. She pointed at the thing in the man's arms and asked, "What is that?"

The man loosened his down jacket, and something inside fell out.

Sheng Yuxiao bent down to pick it up, then looked down and asked, "Map?"

The staff also craned their necks out of curiosity: "Isn't this a map of Southern Province? Where is he looking for?"

Sheng Yuxiao squeezed the map in his hand and said, "It's wet."

The man remained motionless.

At this time, Li Xiaoya couldn't help but ask, "Are you lost?"

The man's eyes rolled suddenly.

Sheng Yuxiao interrupted: "He is an adult with normal intelligence. He is just mute, not stupid. How could he get lost?"

Sheng Yuxiao asked the staff for paper and pen, then leaned over and asked, "Can you write? If you need help, write it down and the program team will help you."

The man took the paper and pen, but still did not move.

The staff member hesitated and said: "How about we help the man up first? Then we can call the police."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man got up from the ground, leaned against the table beside him, and wrote three words: Don't call the police.

His handwriting was graceful and powerful, and it was obvious that he had practiced it specially.

In other words, he should have a certain level of cultural knowledge.

"Not calling the police? This makes people doubt your true identity. You are not a fugitive, are you?" Sheng Yuxiao looked at him in surprise.

When the staff heard this, they were so scared that they took several steps back.

The man was still unaffected and continued writing with the pen in his hand: I'm just here to find someone, you don't have to pay attention to me.

The staff member breathed a sigh of relief: "Looking for someone, wouldn't it be faster to call the police and ask them to help you find it?"

The man shook his head and wrote: I'm leaving.

The staff looked at each other and made way for him.

"Why are his clothes so dirty?"

"He probably fell on the road. It's okay, he's an adult after all."

They talked in low voices and watched the man leave.

But the man walked out a few steps, then suddenly turned around, looked at Li Xiaoya steadily, gestured something to her, and opened his mouth to utter completely untuned syllables.

Yes, it looked pitiful. But Sheng Yuxiao still stood in front of Li Xiaoya ruthlessly, not allowing this inexplicable person to look at Li Xiaoya again.

The man had no choice but to grab the pen and paper and hurriedly wrote something before leaving.

Li Xiaoya grabbed Sheng Yuxiao's clothes from behind, stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see."

Sheng Yuxiao checked the note and confirmed that there was no obscene language before handing it to Li Xiaoya.

"I'm sorry for scaring you."

This is the sentence written above.

Li Xiaoya couldn't help but say, "We haven't asked him what his name is yet."

Sheng Yuxiao said: "It's just a stranger anyway."

"But he hasn't told me why he pinched my face? Why was he looking at me crying? Does he know me? Who is he looking for here?" Li Xiaoya looked at Sheng Yuxiao eagerly.

Sheng Yuxiao's eyes flickered.

yes.

Why?

Strange though.

Although it is obvious that the relatives of Li Xiaoya's mother would not appear here alone in such a strange manner...

But Sheng Yuxiao still remembers a lesson his uncle taught him -

To be smarter and stronger than others, you must pay attention to more details than others and don't let these details slip away from your eyes easily.

Sheng Yuxiao said two words to Li Xiaoya: "Wait."

Then he took a long step, caught up with the man and pressed his shoulder.

Sheng Yuxiao called a name in his ear: "Wei Xuanming."

The man didn't move.

Sheng Yuxiao asked: "You are his youngest son? Who are you looking for? Your sister who has been missing for ten years?"

The man still didn't move.

Sheng Yuxiao frowned in confusion and withdrew his hand.

Guessed wrong?

The two have nothing to do with each other?

Sheng Yuxiao took a half step back, but the man suddenly turned around and looked at him coldly and warily.

It wasn't as exciting as I had imagined.

Sheng Yuxiao's heart, however, calmed down: "It seems that I guessed right. Why are you here alone..."

The man took two steps back and put one hand on his waist.

It seemed as if there was some weapon hidden there.

Sheng Yuxiao instantly realized that the man seemed to have misunderstood something. Did the man regard him as an enemy?

Sheng Yuxiao immediately shouted: "Haven't you found the person you were looking for?"
