warm and deep

Chapter 68
Although it is sunny, the temperature is still low.

Today's Xiaomi put on a red down jacket over a white wool sweater, wool skirt, and boots, looking youthful and radiant.

Liang Shi accompanied her slowly on the road leading to Meishan.On both sides of the road are Fawu trees that have not yet grown green leaves. Their bare branches reach into the sky, giving off a cold white color.

There is a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the air, and there are many tourists, all of whom come to catch up with the charm of plum blossoms in early spring.

After entering the gate, Xiaomi ran happily, posing various poses in front of the plum blossoms from time to time, while Liang Shi pressed the shutter again and again while admiring them.

Tired, panting lightly, I sat down beside a shallow water with calamus. There are small fish swimming in the clear water, which makes this shallow water particularly lively and bright.

Liang Shi flashed the camera a few more times at Xiaomi who was sitting on the hemp stone.Then sat down next to her.

With a plum in his hand, Xiaomi gently teased the fish in the water, smiling happily from time to time.

Liang Shi hesitated, hesitated, but still opened his mouth softly: "Xiaomi, I want to discuss something with you."

Xiaomi smiled and looked away from the water, and lightly slapped Liang Shi's back with a wet plum branch, and said, "What's the matter? Be so careful."

Liang Shi smiled lightly and said, "I want to go to Qingshi Village in Qingming, can you go with me?"

Xiaomi stood up and looked at Liang Shi in disbelief.

Liang Shi felt embarrassed when she saw her, tilted his head, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that, do you agree?"

Xiaomi looked up into the distance, waved the plum branch in his hand casually, and said thoughtfully: "Liang Shi, you are still thinking about Qingshi Village, if I didn't let you come to study medicine, maybe you are still thinking about it." People are happily busy."

Liang Shi interrupted her, "Xiaomi, it has nothing to do with studying medicine."

Xiaomi turned her head and looked at him: "But, it's only been a while since you came back, and you're so busy, yet you're thinking about going there again."

Liang Shi sighed softly: "I want to pay homage to Sister Chunhua in time for Ching Ming Festival."

"Liang Shi, Sister Chunhua used to be your landlord. Is it necessary for you to travel thousands of miles to visit her grave?" Xiaomi looked directly at Liang Shi: "Do you have any other reasons?"

Liang Shi avoided her gaze and said: "Sister Chunhua has no relatives, she kisses everyone. When she left Qingshi Village, she cried and kept saying, I can't bear you, I can't bear you. I It was a little strange at the time. Thinking about it now, maybe she felt that she was saying goodbye to us forever."

Liang Shi said, with tears in his eyes: "Now her husband is married and her son is still young. This year is the first Qingming Festival. I want to go and see it. After a long time, I may not be able to think about it."

Xiaomi turned her eyes to the distance. In her heart, she actually had some doubts that Liang Shi actually wanted to meet Guo Zisu.However, he is not at all like the kind of smug person who gave up his original job and major and studied medicine down-to-earth according to his own requirements. How could he doubt him?

After pondering for a while, Xiaomi nodded slightly, and said, "Liang Shi, you can go if you want, but I won't go with you, I'm not used to that place."

When she was silent for a long time, Liang Shi also guessed what she was thinking, but he still hoped that she would agree.Hearing what she said now, the honest man didn't want Xiaomi to be in the torment of suspicion, so he shook his head and said, "Well, I won't go either."

Liang Shi called Guo Zisu: "Zisu, what are your arrangements for the Qingming holiday?"

Guo Zisu was surprised, why did he care about this, and said mischievously: "You should care about how Xiaomi arranges."

Liang Shi said: "Okay, I won't play tricks with you anymore, if you have time to go to Qingshi Village, give my regards to Uncle Gu. There is also minced meat, alas."

Seeing him sigh and sigh, Guo Zisu asked with concern, "Liang Shi, is there something that makes you unhappy?"

"No." Liang Shi said: "I just think that I am always trapped by the trivial things around me, and I feel very sorry for Uncle Gu and Sister Chunhua."

Guo Zisu comforted him and said, "Liang Shi, don't be like this. Uncle Gu has always said that he is only happy when you have developed skills. Sister Chunhua must be the same. Don't think too much, be happy. I am going back from the provincial capital, and I will go to Qingshi Village again. Give you a call."

Guo Zisu went to the paper horse store in the farmer's market early in the morning to buy things, and met the bearded couple.

Seeing that Guo Zisu was also buying memorial supplies, they asked strangely, "Mr. Guo, who are you going to pay homage to?"

Guo Zisu said: "When I was in Qingshi Village, Sister Chunhua treated me like a sister, so go and visit."

The bearded wife said: "Yes, that woman is very virtuous and straightforward. She has a good family. Once she leaves, alas, I don't know where her son has gone."

"Her son goes to school in Qingshi Village. I saw him last time I went to Qingshi Village."

"You don't know? Her husband has married into our village now, and that woman couldn't tolerate the child in front of her, so she beat the child away." The bearded wife said quickly: "One night, the child stole from my field. Eat radishes, your bearded brother brought him to eat at home, and he ran away before dawn the next day, maybe he was afraid that we would send him home."

Guo Zisu was dumbfounded.

Huzi followed his wife's words and said: "I went to Shitou that night and asked him to take the child back. He didn't care about it at all. I guess the child knew that going back would not have a good life, so he ran away."

Guo Zisu grabbed the bearded wife's hand, tears streaming down her cheeks, and asked eagerly, "Where did the child go? Ah, where did he go?"

The bearded couple looked at each other and shook their heads.

Guo Zisu let go, and hurriedly took out her mobile phone to call Xia Lian: "Mr. Xia, is minced meat at school?"

When Xia Lian heard that it was Guo Zisu, she said like a cannonball: "Mr. Guo, where have you been these days? I kept turning off your phone when I called you. The minced meat was picked up by his father long ago. Later, he ran back, but was caught again. Uncle Bone’s nephew drove away. I heard from people in the town that the minced meat has gone to nowhere and has been lost for many days.”

God, how could such a thing happen.Guo Zisu said in a trembling voice: "You should go find it and report it to the police. What if you are abducted by traffickers?" Guo Zisu didn't dare to think about it, and cried out.

Xia Lian said: "Mr. Guo, it's hard for an upright official to break up housework. Minced meat is Shi Shi's son. If Shi Shi doesn't find it or report it, who cares about this business. Besides, Shi Shi doesn't know what's good or bad at all, and no one wants to meddle in his family's affairs." .”

Hearing these words, Guo Zisu knew that it was meaningless to say more, but the tears were still flowing.

Knowing that she was very sad, Xia Lian persuaded: "Teacher Guo, you have tried your best. There are too many poor people in the world. Take care of yourself."

Guo Zisu hummed and hung up the phone.

The Huzi couple were also very sad to see Guo Zisu crying into tears.Huzi murmured: "I didn't think to tell you at the time. The main reason is that the child ran away after sleeping all night, and there was no time."

The bearded wife patted Guo Zisu on the back and said, "Mr. Guo, there is no way for the child to meet such a father. Don't be sad. We are going to catch the bus to Toyama. There are too many people today, so we won't be able to get in if we are late." With that said, the couple hurried away.

Guo Zisu looked at their backs and had a flash of inspiration, yes, ask Toyama, he runs on the road every day, maybe he has seen minced meat.

When Fushan saw Guo Zisu inquiring about minced meat, he said, "He went to the street two days ago, dressed in dirty and messy clothes. I told him that the clothes you brought were given to Hua Changqun. Later, he was asked to wait for my car at the intersection." I went home. But there was no sign of him until it was dark. Later, I heard from the villagers that the child was lost, and his father did not look for him. I have been paying attention on the street for the past two days, but I did not see him. "

Guo Zisu stood there in a daze.He came to the street, a little child, wandering alone, how dangerous.Damn stone, it's a pity that I can't beat him, otherwise I will find him immediately and trample him to death.

Thinking of hitting stones, Guo Zisu hesitated for a moment, then dialed Liang Shi's phone, crying and complaining that the minced meat was lost.

Upon hearing this, Liang Shi quickly comforted her and said, "Zisu, don't worry, I'll go to the airport right away and go find him with you."

Liang Shi didn't have time to think about it, so he took a taxi and headed straight to the airport.On the way, he called Mi Bo and told him that he had to go to Qingshi Village immediately because of something urgent.

Then he called Xiaomi again and said, "Xiaomi, the minced meat is gone, I have to rush to look for him with Zisu immediately."

Xiaomi screamed on the phone: "Liang Shi, have you lost your mind? What does it matter to you that he disappeared? Even if his mother is dead, there is still father. How crazy are you?"

Liang Shi patiently explained: "Xiaomi, if his father was reliable, his mother wouldn't have died at all. He has been lost for many days, and his father simply ignored him."

"His father doesn't care about you? You are not the savior." Xiaomi said angrily, "What's the matter with you and Guo Zisu? You have already left Qingshi Village, but you still want to meddle in the affairs there."

Liang Shidao: "Xiaomi, listen to me, he is a child. If we don't look for him, no one will look for him. Maybe he is just like this..." Liang Shi didn't dare to say "gone" or "dead." "The words made his heart tremble violently.

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaomi interrupted him roughly: "Okay, you don't need to explain to me, I don't want to hear it at all. Just do what you like." Hang up the phone.

Liang Shi hurriedly called again, but he didn't answer, and when he called again, it showed that the phone was turned off.I called again and again several times, and it was always turned off.He sighed helplessly and had to give up.

At the airport, Liang Shi had no choice but to buy a first-class ticket for the fastest flight because he was in a hurry.Before boarding the plane, he sent another message to Xiaomi: "I'm taking off, don't be angry, take care."
