Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Jiang Zai was no longer so scared when he saw this...
Seeing that his grandmother was talking to someone without even looking at him, Fang Nan bent his waist and ran out.
Jiang Zai watched his friend run out and glanced around at the three adults. He, feeling like a big brother, was worried about his younger brother, so after a moment's thought, he ran out too.
In the restaurant lobby, which was crowded with diners, people were coming and going, with guests and waiters moving around. The two little kids were small and did not attract much attention.
Even if someone saw it, they would just glance at it, probably thinking the child was naughty and curious for a moment, and then forget about it.
The little girl Awan saw her two younger brothers sneaking out. She watched them but didn't know how to tell the adults.
But soon, the adults also noticed it. They originally thought that the two children were lying on the stool playing, but when they tilted their heads to look, they found that there was no one.
Then the three adults bent down and looked under the table, which was empty.
“No one!”
The three adults were instantly anxious, especially the two boys' grandmothers, who were extremely worried.
Xia Pingzhi was a little desperate and went to ask Awan, thinking that they were all children, and maybe Awan knew where the two people had run off to?
"Awan, tell Grandma Xia, do you know where the two younger brothers Ayi and Anan have gone?" She asked, trying to calm her anxious mood.
Awan nodded and said, "I saw brother Anan run out first, and then brother Yi followed him out."
Xia Pingzhi thought to herself that her little Jiangzai had always been very well behaved. Whenever she took him out for a walk before, he had never run away without saying a word.
Looking at Chen Ying, I feel sorry for her. Her grandson is so noisy, I don’t know how much of a headache she must have on a daily basis.
However, now is not the time to feel sorry for her. The most urgent priority is to find the child as soon as possible.
Chen Ying was also anxious. She knew her own children well. They were naughty and had done so many troublesome things. She really hadn't kept an eye on them for even a moment. She didn't dare dwell on the terrifying things. She only wanted the two children to stay put. Otherwise, she didn't know how to explain it to their parents.
"Then let's go out and look for them quickly. They shouldn't have run far. I just saw the two children still here. They've only been here for a while." Chen Ying said.
Xia Pingzhi nodded.
They didn't care about anything else and started jogging with their bags.
But Xia Pingzhi stopped after only two steps, then turned back and said to Grandma Zhong, "Sister Zhong, why don't you wait here? First, we haven't paid yet, and it would be awkward for everyone to leave. Also, if the two children are staying somewhere else and come back on their own, you'll have to help keep an eye on them."
Grandma Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll wait here for you. I'll take care of the child when he comes back. You have to come back quickly after you find him!"
Xia Pingzhi and Chen Ying first asked the waiter at the door if he had seen the two children go out. The waiter shook his head and said no.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the child didn't go out, he might be staying somewhere.
They went looking for the bathroom again and even checked the other person's kitchen, but still couldn't find it.
"Where on earth did he go? The waiter said he saw the child leave, but he's nowhere to be found here. Where on earth did he go?"
There were several private rooms, but the doors were all closed, so the two old ladies went to find the waiter and asked if the child had gone into someone else's private room.
Meanwhile, Fang Nan sneaked out with the little white cat. However, the child's movements were nowhere near as fast as the cat's. The kitten sensed someone was chasing it, so it became even more agile and ran even faster.
Fang Nan has always been very wanton since he was a child. He wants to get whatever he likes. When he sees a kitten running, he keeps chasing it, determined to catch it and play with it. He hardly notices that he has already run out of the back door of the teahouse and ran all the way to the back alley.
Jiang Zai followed behind, watching his younger brother run very fast, even running out of the dining area. He stopped behind and shouted a few times, "Brother, don't run, brother!"
But Fang Nan didn't hear anything, and the little figure was getting farther and farther away. Jiang Zai looked at An Nan in front of him with embarrassment, then looked at the back door of the teahouse. After a few hesitations, he finally chased after him.
After running for a long distance, Fang Nan realized that he could not catch up with the kitten because it had disappeared. He then noticed his surroundings and realized that he had just sneaked out and had run a long way. There were other people's houses all around him. He was now in a dark alley, and he suddenly felt scared.
This is a narrow alley less than two meters wide, with windows and doors of other people's houses on both sides. The same is true for the third and fourth floors above. It seems difficult to see the sunlight up there because the residents' clothes are hung horizontally on it, and there are even mops hanging on it.
Fang Nan was just a four-year-old child. He stood there, looked around with his head raised, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears. He was really scared now.
"Grandma, grandma, wuwu..." Fang Nan's sobbing sound was still very soft, because he was worried that if he cried too loudly, he would meet bad people.
He heard the "thump thump" sound of footsteps again, which became louder and louder. He was so scared that he quickly hid in the water pond of someone nearby.
After all, Jiangzai had grown up in the countryside. He had been running around in the countryside with other children since he was four years old, so he ran quite fast. He didn't lose the person and caught up with him quickly.
"Brother Anan?" Jiang Zai shouted. He saw the man being abducted here.
Fang Nan heard a familiar voice. It was the little brother at the dinner table. He immediately stood up and said, "Brother Jiangzai, I'm here!"
Fang Nan was extremely excited. He immediately ran over and threw himself on Jiang Zai, hugging him tightly with both hands. He seemed to no longer be afraid.
Jiangzai hugged him back, but his face was a little serious. "You can't call me Jiangzai. Only adults can call me that. So you have to call me brother, or brother Ayi, understand?"
Fang Nan was very easy to talk to at this moment, "Okay, Brother Ayi, I got it!" He blinked his eyes, and his well-behaved look was very endearing, and there was no trace of the naughty kid he was in the teahouse before.
"Okay, then brother will take you back. We have run too far!" Jiangzai imitated his mother, touching his brother Anan's hair and comforting him.
"Okay, let's go back now!" Fang Nan suddenly felt that this brother Ayi seemed quite impressive. He still remembered the way and could take him back. He didn't say that he was scared before, because that would be too embarrassing.
After getting the response, Jiang Zai took his brother's hand and led him back.
He remembered the way he ran here, so he promised Anan that he would take him back. If my aunt saw that he was gone, she would definitely be worried.
So along the way, whether it was people washing clothes, cooking or washing dishes in the alley, you could see two children walking hand in hand.
The two children looked to be about four or five years old. The child in front seemed to be taller, but there was no panic on his face and his eyes did not look around, as if his home was right in front of him.
The child at the back, who was being led, was quite courageous, looking around wildly as if he had never seen anything before. When he saw the residents looking over, he looked back at them without showing any fear at all.
Fang Nan is just like that, a bit of a bully. If he were alone, he would have been scared to tears. But now that he has a brother who is older than him, he feels nothing to be afraid of. He has his brother by his side. He feels like if the sky falls, there is someone taller to hold it up.
The residents in the alley did not think that the two children had accidentally lost their way. They felt confused and scared, and thought they were the children of the new tenants who moved in nearby, so they did not go up to ask.
Fang Nan was also walking uncomfortably at the back. Jiang Zai was holding his hand in front, and he was swinging their arms from behind. He thought to himself that it was actually good to have a brother who was older than him and could protect him.
So, he always had a smile on his face.
"Brother, come to my house and play next time. Mom and Dad bought me a lot of toys, and I don't let anyone else play with them, but you can come and play." Fang Nan had a little bit of arrogance on his face, a little bit proud, and a little generous.
He looked at the brother Ayi in front of him and felt that this brother must be very happy to agree, because he had the most toys. Before, other children came to his house and wanted to play with his toys, but he didn't let those children play with them.
However, Fang Nan never expected that Brother Ayi in front of him would not agree directly.
Jiang Zai walked in front. At this moment, he was not like the shy and spoiled child he used to be at home in his mother's arms. Instead, he looked like a mature and steady brother. "Let's talk about it later. If my aunt and mother agree, I will go. I have to tell them first.
In fact, Jiang Zai was a little reluctant to go, because he felt that his younger brother was quite troublesome, very naughty, and loved to make a lot of noise.
Fang Nan pouted, not expecting at all that she would be rejected, so she stopped and was unwilling to walk any further.
Jiang Zai was in front and couldn't pull the person up. When he turned around, he found that Fang Nan had not left. He pulled him, but he was still trying to move back.
"What's wrong with you? Are you tired from walking?" Jiang Zai asked. He never thought that his younger brother would be angry about this.
But Jiangzai's eyes were obviously bright. He saw that Anan's mouth was pouting, just like how he looked when he was angry and wronged. So it shouldn't be because he was tired from walking.
But why is he unhappy? Jiang Zai looked at Fang Nan with a puzzled look on his face, "Why are you unhappy? Let's go back quickly, otherwise your grandma and my great aunt will be worried if they can't see us."
Fang Nan completely ignored Jiang Zai's words that the adults would be anxious if they couldn't find them. Instead, he asked, "Then why don't you agree to come to my house to play with toys? I have some very good Ultraman cartoons at home, which my father bought for me. Do you know Ultraman Seven? And Ultraman Ace?" He raised his little chin proudly.
Many of Fang Nan's questions left Jiang Zai confused. "I didn't say I wouldn't go to your house to play. I have to tell mom first before I can go."
Fang Nan said quickly after hearing this: "Then you must go home and tell your mother immediately. Your mother will definitely agree. If she doesn't agree, I will let my mother talk to your mother."
For the first time, the little Jiangzai felt speechless. He didn't know what to say and could only nod.
Only then did Fang Nan give him a big smile, and then he was willing to continue walking back with Jiang Zai.
As they were walking, the two little men stopped at the same time, their small bodies stiffened for a moment, and they held each other's hands tightly.
Right in front of them was a large black dog with shiny black fur. It had been lying on the ground by the wall, but when it saw the two children standing there motionless, it slowly stood up, sticking out its red tongue, and stared at the two children motionlessly.
"Brother Yi, I'm scared," Fang Nan said softly, holding Jiang Zai's hand tightly. He was too embarrassed to express his fear before, but this time he said it without thinking.
Jiang Zai was also scared, but he was older than his brother. Since his brother said he was scared, Jiang Zai couldn't say he was scared too. He clearly didn't see the big black dog when he came here before, so how could it be on this road now?
Jiang Zai looked around carefully and found that he had not taken the wrong road.
The two children were still small in size, and in fact the black dog was also of average size. But in the eyes of the children, the dog was super big, and it was black, with its tongue sticking out, as if it was ready to eat them.
"Woo woo woo." Fang Nan was scared and started crying. Jiang Zai was slowly pulling him back, but his eyes were always fixed on the front, just because the dog seemed to be curious and was walking forward little by little with its tongue out.
"Brother Ayi, let's run." Fang Nan suggested crying. This dog was really big and fierce. If it ate people, it would definitely eat both him and Brother Ayi. Then the two of them would not be able to go home.
Mom, Dad, Grandma, come and save me!
Fang Nan was extremely frightened and wanted to break free from Jiang Zai's hand and run away, but Jiang Zai grabbed him and said, "You can't run. The more you run, the more the dog will chase you." He looked in the direction ahead, but his words were directed at Fang Nan's younger brother.
Jiangzai remembered what his father had said to him before, because one time his father took him out, and they also met a very big dog outside, which was even bigger than the current one.
He was also scared and cried. His father picked him up, but he didn't run away with him. Instead, he told him not to run when he sees a dog, because running would be bad. He must not panic, but look around for sticks and stones and pick them up.
When Jiang Zai thought of this, he quickly looked around to see if there were any stones or sticks nearby. He was happy to find some small stones piled up beside the flower bed of the house on his right. Jiang Zai slowly moved over with Fang Nan, squatted down slowly, picked up a few stones, and handed a few to Fang Nan.
When the big black dog saw the two children bending down to pick up something, it began to back away and even moved its feet backward a few times.
Seeing this, Jiangzai was not so scared anymore. He turned back and said to his brother Anan, "Just follow what I say." Then he threw the stone in his hand towards the big black dog.
Fang Nan also threw, although both of them had poor aim and failed to hit the big black dog, but the big black dog was frightened and took several steps back, then turned around and ran away.
Jiang Zai was still a little worried when he saw the big black dog running away. He asked his brother Fang Nan to stand still while he picked up stones from the ground and walked forward carefully for a few steps. When he saw that there was indeed no trace of the big dog, he turned back and took his brother Fang Nan's hand. "Okay, brother Anan, don't be afraid. We have scared the big black dog away. Let's go back quickly, otherwise what if the dog comes back later?"
Jiang Zai said this, and Fang Nan was also very afraid that the big dog would come back again, so he wiped his tears and took Jiang Zai's hand, "Okay, Brother Jiang Zai, let's go quickly, otherwise the big black dog will come back."
