Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Gu Changzong hugged Hongguo into his arms,...
Xiao Zheng was quite smart. He bought a box and brought the child in without being seen by anyone. Otherwise, I don’t know whether Hong Guo could protect him from being kidnapped before Changzong came back.
Hongguo asked the child if he had eaten, but the child didn't say anything. Xiao Zheng said he had bought some for him.
The little one was not afraid of anyone. He took his own toys and played with him. The child did not refuse. He took the toys and held them in his arms, which made the little one anxious. He wanted to play with them, not give them to him, but he was too embarrassed to ask for them back. He ran back and forth around the child several times.
Hongguo smiled. It might be because the environment was relatively safe for children and they didn't need to ask for help. After he calmed down, he didn't even respond to questions from Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng was so confused: "When I met him, he answered whatever I asked. What's wrong?"
Maybe that's just his personality. Changzong and Hongguo have endless things to talk about, but he is just as impatient to talk as others, and Lao Zheng is even more so.
Hongguo asked Xiao Zheng to run the water to give the child a bath. She went out and bought clothes suitable for the child, and came back to wash him clean so that he could feel more comfortable.
After taking a bath, the child's eyelids were so sleepy that he curled up and fell asleep holding the toy that Diandian gave him.
Diandian looked at his favorite toy eagerly, probably thinking that he would not share his favorite one next time.
Hongguo coaxed him and took him out to buy him a new reward. The little guy got tired of the old and liked new things, so he chose a different one and was happy holding it in his arms.
When eating at night, the children are not allowed to go out for fear of being seen. Last time, Yu Hai bribed the waiter, but this time Hong Guo didn't even want room service and asked Xiao Zheng to go out and pack the food and bring it back.
Xiao Zheng said that he saw this child rummaging through garbage and felt sorry for him, so he asked about the child's parents. The child said that his parents were detained by bad guys and they demanded 100,000 yuan. He didn't have the money, so he didn't know how to save his parents.
Xiao Zheng wanted to take him to the police, but when he asked for his name, he found out that it was the family that Hong Guo had inquired about, so he brought him back.
The fellow villagers in Changzong are stronger than ordinary people, but there are differences. Meng Qingdai's advantage is not fighting, and neither is the driver Master Wang. This kid can only run away, probably because his small body does not have the strength advantage.
Hongguo let the child eat first and then sleep in Xiao Zheng's room at night. Diandian liked the child who was several years older than him very much and kept calling him "brother, brother". The child looked at Diandian, turned over and went to sleep.
Diandian didn't understand why this brother didn't like him like everyone else, so he ran to Hongguo for comfort.
Hong Guo hugged him and said that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep: "Come and play with me tomorrow morning."
Diandian seemed to understand, and after hesitating for a long time, she put down the newly bought toy and left it for her brother to play with.
The little one is really a generous and kind-hearted child. Hongguo rubbed his head to encourage him and gave him a kiss. The little one was very happy.
At night, Diandian fell asleep, and Hongguo waited for Changzong's call. He had good news, saying that he had found one and was rushing to Shenzhen overnight.
Hongguo also told him some good news about meeting the child of the Xiao family, and waited for him to come back, and then they would see how to redeem his parents next. Changzong asked Hongguo to eat and drink, and he would take care of these things when he arrived.
After hanging up the phone, Hongguo turned off the lights and went to sleep with peace of mind. She couldn't fall asleep for a while, and she was thinking, when Changzong comes back, should she use brute force or money to solve the problem of the child's family.
If they go directly to ask for the person, Lao Zheng alone will be enough. If they use money, Shi Jinzhou's company in the mainland can withdraw 100,000 yuan in cash flow and it can be done within a day. After taking the money, Yu Hai has no reason to withhold it. It's just that she is taking advantage of it too much. Anyway, wait until Changzong comes back before making a decision.
…
In the morning, Hong Guo took Xiao Budian and Xiao Zheng to have breakfast, packed a portion, and came back to see the waiter standing at the door, trying to open her room door. Was she bribed again? Fortunately, she had already asked Bai Nian to go to another room that was opened in the morning.
Hong Guo got angry and refused to let the waiter in: "Didn't you see the Do Not Disturb sign at the door?"
The waiter hesitated and said it was just routine cleaning, but Hong Guo persisted: "I think someone has paid you enough money that you don't care about losing this job. Well, let's go find your manager."
They had just talked last night, and Yu Hai promised not to cause any trouble. This morning, during breakfast, Hong Guo bribed the waiter to go into the room and ask for an explanation, letting Yu Hai know that if they provoked her, she would pursue the matter to the end.
As a result of the handling of this matter, the waiter was fired. Hongguo was not at all soft-hearted. Since he was paid to do the job, he should have thought about the consequences of the incident.
In broad daylight, Diandian couldn't stay in the room, and neither could Xiao Zheng, so they went to Shijinzhou Company to play.
The sun was too hot and Hongguo didn't want to run, so she stayed in the room and painted the scene she saw in her dream that day, which was about the fight between ancient gods and mortals.
Speaking of myths, the myths she had heard were different from the ones in the scene. There were many more parts in the scene that she didn’t understand, and it was Changzong’s memory. So, does Changzong’s hometown also have similar myths that have been passed down from generation to generation?
"Sister, how come you can draw these?"
The sudden sound scared Hongguo to death. She looked up and saw the child from the Xiao family hanging upside down, looking out of the window, staring at the painting she was drawing without blinking.
Hongguo quickly opened the window a little wider and asked him to come in. His room was upstairs, but it was not exactly facing each other. There were several rooms separated horizontally above and below, more than ten meters away, and he actually managed to get here. Is this what makes him so powerful?
After the child came in, Hong Guo closed the curtains, turned on the light, moved a chair for him to sit on, and said with a smile: "This is a myth, Nuwa mending the sky, didn't your parents tell you this story?"
The child didn't say anything, just looked at Hongguo's painting.
Hongguo is good at painting and writing. She learned calligraphy from her father when his father was still alive. Painting is a talent. She can draw flowers, birds, fish and insects vividly with just a few strokes. But at that time she was living in the village and the college entrance examination was on hold, so she never thought that there were special schools teaching painting.
The child was so engrossed in watching the movie that he reached out to Hongguo for a pencil, and Hongguo quickly handed it to him.
The child's painting was smooth, without any erasures or repetitions. In his painting, there was also a community of humans and gods, sitting high up in the hall. After receiving blessings, the human-shaped humans transformed into the form of human-gods, thus becoming a higher race.
After the child finished drawing, he said nothing and returned the pen to Hongguo.
Hongguo could understand it. This was similar to the stories about cultivating immortals that she had heard. In the mythological stories she had heard, animals were transformed into human form. So in Changzong's hometown, it was not surprising that people were transformed into half human and half other species.
There are some legends about her place and her hometown of Changjong that overlap. Could it be that there is some truth in the legend? But the truth is hidden by the myth?
Hongguo tried to coax the child and wanted him to draw something, but this time he shook his head, meaning that he had already drawn everything he knew. Hongguo felt sorry that he couldn't know more.
He was Changzong's fellow villager, so Hongguo didn't dare to force him. She comforted him and said that she would rescue his parents when Changzong came back.
The child is in her room. She doesn't talk much and doesn't move around much. When she is sleepy, she just lies down and sleeps. It is so quiet.
We packed up some food to eat at noon. In the afternoon, Changzong's car drove to the hotel entrance. Hongguo recognized the familiar engine sound and opened the window to confirm.
Chang Zong had already gotten off the bus. Behind him and Lao Zheng, there followed a skinny little girl as weak as a bamboo pole. After getting off the bus, she could not even walk steadily. Chang Zong and Lao Zheng did not even bother to help her, and did not even look back at her.
That must be the third fellow villager they brought back, right?
Hongguo was very happy. They had been driving all night and most of the day to get back.
Hong Guo was relieved when Chang Zong came back. She smiled and said to the child, "Dian Dian's father is back. He is very capable and can help you. Lock the door of your room. I will go out to pick him up."
The child nodded, and Hongguo waited until the door behind him was locked before running out. In the lobby, he met Changzong who was checking in a room for his fellow villager.
Hongguo missed him so much that she ran to him without caring about the people around her.
Before speaking, Gu Changzong hugged Hongguo into his arms and held her tightly before letting go. The two of them laughed at first, and then said that they missed each other.
Hongguo tilted his head to look at the little girl with a numb expression behind him. She looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and was shorter than Hongguo. She looked really pitiful. She was a fellow villager of Changzong. If he could bring her back, they must have had an agreement on her.
Hongguo only had time to smile friendly at the girl before Changzong pulled her away, as if the fellow villager behind her was unimportant.
Hongguo softly asked him to wait, and ran over to hold the girl's sleeve. This girl was not on the list of people involved in the car accident. Like Lao Zheng, she had probably died once.
Back in the room, Hongguo made some arrangements on her own and asked Changzong to meet the Xiao family's children, as they should have something to say.
She took her clothes and bathing and washing supplies, and took the silent girl to the newly opened room to take a shower and change clothes.
Changzong and Lao Zheng were so busy getting on the road that they didn't consider the girl's feelings at all. Her clothes and hair smelled. If Hongguo hadn't taken care of it, this numb girl would probably continue to be in this state.
The girl had been abused before, and her body was covered with various scars, some from being pinched, some from being beaten with sticks, and some from being strangled with hemp ropes.
Hongguo sighed inwardly, ran some hot water, gave her a bath, washed her hair, and changed her into clean clothes.
The girl was still confused, so Hongguo took her to sit next to the big bed and asked her whether she wanted to eat first or sleep first?
"You'll sleep better after eating." Hong Guo said
The girl leaned back, fell on the pillow and closed her eyes.
Changzong's fellow villager just doesn't like to talk. There is no good way to deal with it, so she can only get used to it. Hongguo bent down and wrung her hair dry, then closed the door and went to find Changzong. She didn't knock, but waited at the door. When Changzong had finished talking, he would naturally come out to find her. She stood here, hoping that he would see her as soon as he opened the door.
Not long after, Changzong came out. He was really happy to see Hongguo. He turned around to look at the child following behind him and said to Hongguo, "We have agreed, Guoguo. I will take him to find Yu Hai and bring his parents back. You wait a little longer. I will definitely be back before dinner."
He still had a calm tone, as if what he was about to do was just a small thing.
Hong Guo believed him and said to the child, "Then go with him, and we'll have dinner together when you come back."
Changzong drooped his eyelids, Lao Zheng turned his head away, and the little one slid down from Lao Zheng's arms, took out his favorite toys and the new toys he bought yesterday, and stuffed them all into his brother's arms. The child only took the old one.
The little one was not finished yet, he pulled Changzong's big hand to hold his little brother's small hand: "Daddy will hold you."
The little one wants his dad to hug his little brother too.
Changzong handed the little one to Hongguo, then took a deep breath, and walked away with the child.
