Chapter 67: Silent Night (1)
The little girl hugged her mother's arm in fear, and the mother consciously tightened the little girl's little hand a little. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The mother and daughter were the people Locho had met, on the train to St. Petersburg.
They are a family that tells stories...... And now, the man of the house has disappeared.
At night, the wind outside was stronger, and it was even cooler in the lake, but the light in the hut and the soft sofa in the room seemed to give the mother a little warmth.
She was surprised to meet the young man she had met on the train in this place, but the disappearance of her husband completely believed this subtle surprise.
"We were going to cross this side of the mountain road and go to my husband's hometown. Halfway through he was going to get out of the car to make it easier for us to stay in the car...... But it was half an hour, and he didn't come back. I had to get out of the car and look for him, but ......"
The girl's mother covered her face in pain and sobbed: "I only found the phone that he threw on the ground." β
"Did you call the police?" Ryan, one of the young men, was the first to speak.
The girl's mother shook her head, took out her phone and said, "I don't know why, it keeps showing that it is out of the server...... I was with my children and didn't know what to do, so I had to ask for help. β
Several young people looked at each other, and Elle took out her mobile phone and said in amazement, "I can't receive a signal either." β
"Mine too. Goliath also looked down at her phone.
"Me too. β
"I ...... too"
Seeing that the four of them were looking at him at the same time, Luo Qiu also threw out his mobile phone, shook his head and said, "I think mine too." β
"Isn't this server here?" Ryan said stunned, "But before I just entered the door, my network was still available, when was it ......?"
"Now it's not about the signal, it's about how to help this lady. Elle suddenly bit her thumb and said, "By the way, Mr. Luo Qiu, do you have any other communication tools here?" I'm talking about a wired phone. β
"I'm sorry, no. β
Luo Qiu suddenly stood up and said, "Depending on the situation, you can only wait for the communication to be restored naturally, or wait until dawn, if you can't restore the communication, you can go out and find the police for help." Of course, it would be great if the missing gentleman hadn't actually had an accident and could have found it on his own. β
"There are so many of us, can we go out and help find it now......" Ryan suddenly raised his hand and said enthusiastically, just looking at the gaze of his companion Bolehan, and suddenly lowered his voice: "I'm just suggesting." β
For the girl's mother, perhaps any kind of help is what she desperately needs. At this time, she even looked at everyone with a longing gaze.
Goliath subconsciously looked at the night outside the living room at this time, reached out and touched her arm, and hesitated: "Is there really no more place to live around here?"
The girl's mother's eyes darkened suddenly...... Yes, there may be danger - especially in a situation where someone is missing.
She knew she couldn't force anything.
"Mrs. Maggie, do you remember where your husband disappeared?" Suddenly, a voice sounded at the table behind everyone.
Erix.
"I remember!"
Arix wiped his lips with a napkin on the dining table, then stood up and smiled, "If you don't mind, I can accompany you back to where you came from." β
"IβI can also go and help. Ryan took a deep breath at this time, slowly raised his hand and said.
It's like you've mustered up courage.
Faintly, Ellie's eyes seemed to light up a little. Seeing that Ryan had already spoken, Bolehan frowned, suddenly stood up and said, "Then, I will also accompany you, it is better to have more people than one less." But Gloria and Elle are here for the time being, right?"
It seems that this is how it was decided.
The girl's mother, Mrs. Maggie, Aric, Bolehan, and Ryan, returned to the place where her husband had disappeared.
Despite some apprehension, Maggie chose to leave her daughter in the cabin...... Maybe it's because I've met this young man once on the train, or maybe it's because I feel that the little girl needs a place of peace more now.
Mrs. Maggie also seemed to have made a lot of determination when she made this decision.
"Well, let's hope the goddess of luck will bring us good luck on this trip. β
At the door, Alex smiled and said yes, and finally got into the car that Mrs. Maggie drove back.
The little girl was grabbed by Elle's palm, and reluctantly watched the car driven by her mother until it finally disappeared, and then suddenly pounced on the big sister.
After Elle comforted the people, she brought the little girl into the house. I saw that Golia was wandering back and forth in the living room at this time, as if she was worried from now on.
Elle didn't seem to know what to say for a moment.
She subconsciously looked at the young owner of the cottage and saw that he was now flipping through an old bookβa book taken from a shelf on one side of the wall in the living room.
It seems that there is no worry at all...... This man was calm enough, Ellie thought quietly.
I don't know how long it took, the maid lady walked to the living room with the saucer in both hands, squatted down, released the cup inside, and said softly: "Drink some flower tea, this is Roselle tea, which can calm your mood and help restore your spirit." β
Yuya touched the teacups one by one in front of several people.
Ellie said thank you.
Gloria never stopped wandering from the beginning. At this time, even if he took the teacup, he just held it in his hand, and while drinking, he walked back and forth, as if he was thinking about something, and he was absorbed in it.
"Tell me, what's your name?"
Miss Maid finally came to the little girl.
"Lena!"
"Good Lena. The maid touched the little girl's hair, "Are you afraid?"
Lena nodded, and suddenly asked, "Big sister, will my dad be okay?"
"I don't know. Yuye said softly: "However, if you are fine, you will naturally be fine." If something happens, no matter how worried you are, it will still happen. Do you like to have an accident, or do you want nothing to happen?"
The little girl was stunned and tilted her head...... It was hard for her to understand what this beautiful big sister was saying. The little girl, Lena, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then looked around curiously.
"This sister is so weird. β
Lena whispered in Yuya's ear suddenlyβshe was pointing to Golia.
"Is there anything strange?" Yuya asked curiously.
Lena suddenly said, "One, two, three." One, two, three. See, this big sister walked three steps and turned around, and then walked three steps and turned around again. That's it from the beginning. β
"Really. The maid smiled slightly.
She stood up, touched Lina's head again, and walked over to Locho and sat down.
He sat quietly like this, and suddenly there was no sound or other superfluous movements.
Ellie glanced curiously...... She felt as if she had seen a puppet.
......
Tick, tick, that's the sound of the pendulum clock in the living room.
It seems to beat with the sound of a heartbeat, and every swing can be transmitted to people's hearts.
Gloria didn't know when she sat down, maybe she was tired of walking, she just looked down at her phone, and then at Ellie, she seemed to want to find something to talk about, but she opened her mouth several times, but in the end she didn't say a word.
The little girl Lena's eyes looked back and forth in the living room...... It was already early for her to go to bed, and now it seemed that after going through something, she had disrupted her normal routine.
Lena, dressed in a small floral dress, small white stockings and small red leather shoes, walked down from the sofa gently.
She saw a large suitcase placed in the corner of the living room and the dining room.
Lena subconsciously walked towards the box.
It's getting closer, it's getting closer.
She reached out to reach for the small box.
It's close.
Smack!
Suddenly, Lena heard such a noise, and her whole body was startled, and she even turned around.
I only heard the sound of the big brother who was sitting and reading the book suddenly closed the book in his hand. The eldest brother whispered to her, "Touching other people's things casually is not something that a good boy should do." β
Lena stuck out her tongue and quickly put her hands behind her back.
Luo Qiu smiled, he grabbed a candy from the snack box placed on the coffee table next to him, "Eat?"
Lena nodded and walked briskly towards Boss Luo.
The box behind her suddenly ...... It seems to have moved. (To be continued.) )
