Li City, Ximen.

West Gate is the direction of Wuyang City. There are many caravans entering and exiting, from opening to closed doors in an endless stream.

There is a corner near the half street of Ximen. A couple opened a breakfast stall selling steamed buns, soy milk, rice porridge, and meat patties. Behind the stall is the facade of a semi-residential and semi-commercial store where the couple live.

There is a child who is about three years old, yiyiyaya is tracing words, walking flickering, with a little slobber hanging from the corner of his chubby mouth. What is peculiar is that there is a rope tied around the kid’s waist, and the other end of the rope is tied to the waist of the busy mother outside the facade.

It’s about noon now, and the couple is about to close.

“Two bowls of soy milk, five meat patties.”

“Yo, only have breakfast now?”

“For lunch. How? Yes?”

“Yes, the pancakes are a little bit cold, I’ll warm them up for you, come right away.”

Suddenly there is a business coming to the door, and the man immediately welcomes him with a smile. Regardless of whether it is time to close the stall, even though they get up before dawn and are busy until now, they have nothing to rest.

Because it was the last bit of soy milk, I poured two bowls of bean dregs with a little bottom. The meatloaf was okay, but the presentation was not very good, but the portion was very large and at least two or two.

“Oh, that’s your child? How old is it?”

The child hugged the man who was idle, and yelled father with a small mouth.

“Yes, just three years old.”

“The second or the third?”

“Just a baby.”

>

“A baby? How old is your couple looking at thirty, right? Getting married late?”

“It’s not…hehe.”

“Isn’t there a baby because I got married late? Is it so small? Ha, don’t mind, I’m just curious, just ask.”

The baby was taken away by the woman, and the stall except the guests She has collected the rest of the table. The man now sits on the side with a stool and chats with the guests when he is idle.

“How do I tie a rope to the child? What should I do if I accidentally fall down?”

“Hey, isn’t this afraid of losing the child.”

“Hey, what you said, what you lose during the day, you are too careful.”

“…”

God, this curious guest came to this breakfast stall in Ximen just before lunch, and the same two bowls of soy milk plus five meat patties.

I have come more often, and just in time for free time, the stall owner’s man’s house followed the guests again. Sometimes it is the most suitable for soy milk to go with; sometimes it whispers about the sister of Hualou with Proprietress on his back.

It’s still the guest who can talk, although the time to sit down each time is not long, but a few words always make people chat very pleasant.

“By the way, why is your baby still tied with a rope? People are not dogs, don’t you look bad?”

“This….. .”

“What’s wrong? Last time you talked about your baby, you frowned, don’t you not want someone else? What a clever baby!”

“No, no, ah, brother, tell you the truth, we tied the rope to the baby because we lost a baby before. The girl is nine years old, but she couldn’t find it in a blink of an eye.. ….”

Youdao was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the rope. Only after losing a baby, everyone looks like a human trafficker. Is it difficult to understand how to tie a rope to a baby? If it weren’t for the conditions, both of them wanted to keep their baby in the Guan Family.

“I can lose it at the age of nine? What’s the matter?”

Maybe I feel uncomfortable in my heart and I am willing to find someone to talk to, but this guest doesn’t look like it for a few days. That kind of unreliable, the stall owner was silent for a moment, and his voice was slightly gloomy to tell the past.

The matter is actually very simple. It is as simple as if a baby is lost in the time of dazzling God, and I can’t even remember when I lost it.

“It’s definitely not the one who got lost by yourself! Your baby is nine years old, let alone on this street, going back and forth to the east gate is not a problem.”

Not the rich Eldest Miss, the nine-year-old girl is impossible so spoiled that she doesn’t even know her way, and even more impossible. Anyone can coax her away without being noticed.

“Yes!” The stall owner’s eyes widened, and the original and kind person suddenly became full of savage eyes. His hands were tightly pinched with fists, and a voice came out from between his teeth: “Me too I think so! My girl has always been agile and capable, and she has run errands the farthest to the suburban caravan, where she will get lost! It must be a dog that has suffered a thousand swords and taken my girl abducted!”

“Have you reported to the official?”

“I reported it at that time, it was useless.”

“How could it happen?”

“On a street I’ve visited all of my shops, and no one has seen my girl. But I’m such a big person and an acquaintance, can I still see no one on the road?”

“No one saw my baby girl.”

” Your baby girl? Who is going to follow, and I haven’t seen anyone going there?”

“No. All of them are like blinding eyes, hey.”

Enough of anger, the stall owner gnashing teeth cursed a few words and didn’t continue to let his emotions influence him. There was a bitter smile on his face and his eyes were slightly red. It was obvious that things would not fade in his heart because of time.

“My mother-in-law was almost crying stupidly. I was thinking about taking her back to her hometown, but she said in case, if the baby gets back, we will leave. How pitiful is the baby? Phew…so I’ve been suffering until now. Fortunately, I gave birth to my second child the year before, so I shared some of her energy, or I’d have to worry about something wrong sooner or later.”

“The Yamen didn’t give it. What’s the answer?”

“What’s the answer? No one saw my girl, there is no clue at all. Those bad guys can take care to find a couple of days to thank God, not to mention how many days have passed now? Years, hey.”

“Don’t be discouraged, everything has an accident, although it has been many years, but what if As the water recedes, the rocks appear? You have to be careful Recall the memory, what if there is something you overlooked before?”

The stall owner shook his head, but didn’t talk to him again. In all these years, how could he not repeatedly recall the situation of that day? What’s desperate is that he can’t remember any useful things at all.

“Remember what shops were on this street at that time? Have they changed in the past few years?”

“Of course I remember these, which are still old faces, and which have changed owners. I remember it clearly. I also inquired about the people who left, and I probably know where they are now.”

“Yo! It looks like you have spent a lot of work.”

“Hey, what can I do? I’m not reconciled!”

“The kind of copper cabinet set up by Profound Pure Guard in the city is said to be able to help people investigate the case. Have you tried it?”

p>

“Hey, let me tell you, I tried it, but I just want to rest assured that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.”

“Not this time.”

The guest drank the last sip of soy milk and got up to leave, and patted a dozen taels of broken silver on the table.

“Hey, big brother, I can’t find so many!”

“No, put you here, I will eat tomorrow.”

“It’s okay, then you have to tell me what your name is and I will keep the bill for you.”

“My name is Shen Hao.”
