Eight years ago, Ao Gu was only thirteen years old.

It was a cold Spring Festival, and Ao Gu, as in previous years, liked to wander the streets of Longmen Town, and he planned to have enough food to eat and play a game that vendors set up to make money on every street.

On the streets, people come and go, shouting, firecrackers, noise, etc., are constantly noisy.

The streets are full of joy and joyful colors. However, when Ao Gu came to No. 4 Complex Street from No. 1 Complex Street to eat and play, he found that there was a little girl standing on the side of the road crying.

The little girl looked a few years younger than him, about eleven or twelve.

Pedestrians who came and went did not dare to pay attention to her, for fear of being beaten by others as a human trafficker.

Of course, you can also call the police, but the police in Longmen Town have always followed the tenet of "having money to go to the church, but not having money to quit". If you report it, it will be a white newspaper, and you will even be scolded, and the unlucky person is more likely to be arrested and thrown into prison if the address information is found.

For these, Ao Gu is not afraid, because he is also a child.

With the little candy man in his hand, he walked towards the little girl with small steps.

"That, little sister, my candy man will give you to eat, don't cry. ”

"Sizzle, I don't want a sugar man, I want a dad......!" the little girl glanced at Ao Gu's sugar man, sobbed twice, and cried again.

Ao Gu stood aside with the candy man, scratching his head to see her crying, a little at a loss.

"Otherwise, I'll take you to your father! We'll look street by street, and we should find it soon." Ao Gu pinched his lower lip, and suddenly his brain flashed, and he said happily.

"Sizzle, really?" the little girl stopped her tears when she heard that Ao Gu could help her find her father, but she still didn't believe Ao Gu's words.

"Really, if you got lost in Longmen Town, it would be easy, let's go to No. 1 Comprehensive Street and start looking, this town is the most familiar to me," Ao Gu patted his chest with an oath.

"Alright then!"

The little girl pouted and wiped her face, and the tears no longer flowed, but her eyes were still a little red.

"Here, little sugar man for you. By the way, my name is Ao Gu, what about you?"

Ao Gu took the little girl's little hand very kindly and stuffed the little sugar man into her.

"......Thank you! My name is Mu Linlin. ”

The little girl looked at the little sugar man in her hand, and felt no longer so sad, but became a little shy.

"Mu Linlin, your name is so nice, then we will be good friends in the future!"

Ao Gu looked at Mu Linlin with a smile. I also learned that adults stretched out a hand in a good way.

"Friend, what's that? Is it edible?"

Mu Linlin looked at Ao Gu suddenly stretched out a hand, a little puzzled, but she still reflexively stretched out a hand to hold it.

"A friend is a little friend who can have fun playing together. Don't you have any friends?" Ao Gu patiently explained to Mu Linlin, and at the same time asked suspiciously.

"I ...... I don't have any friends, my dad is my friend. ”

Mu Linlin looked at the hand she was still holding Ao Gu, a little shy, and her voice became weaker and weaker.

"Can my father be friends? But my father was a thief to me, and he would talk at every turn, and if he didn't obey, he would beat me! But I wasn't disobedient! I just got a little worse in exams and didn't like to study. Ao Gu thought of his father at home, his body trembled violently, and he pouted.

"You are so pathetic, my father is not willing to beat me. He's nice to me, but he doesn't know where he is now. Mu Linlin said and spoke, her expression began to dim again, and she felt a little like crying when she looked at it.

"Hey, wait a minute, eat the little candy man, I'll take you to Daddy now. ”

Ao Gu saw that Mu Linlin wanted to cry, and immediately panicked, he really couldn't stand the girl's crying.

Along the way, Ao Gu took Mu Linlin's little hand and returned to No. 1 Comprehensive Street, he wanted to take Mu Linlin from the beginning to the end.

No. 1 Comprehensive Street, No. 2 Comprehensive Street, No. 3 Comprehensive Street......

It wasn't until No. 25 Comprehensive Street that Mu Linlin finally found her father, her father was very young and handsome, with a very great figure and a very friendly face.

When Mu Linlin's father saw Mu Linlin, his anxious expression finally eased, he came to Longmen Town to do some business, how could he think that Mu Linlin would disappear in a blink of an eye, he sent people to look everywhere like crazy, and he also wanted to look for it street by street like a headless fly, the most important thing is that he was not familiar with the terrain here.

After that, Mu Linlin was taken away by his father, and before leaving, his father said that in order to thank Ao Gu, he wanted to give Ao Gu a big red envelope, but Ao Gu refused, saying that he and Linlin are good friends!

Mu Linlin's father shook his head with a smile after hearing this, and no longer forced it on him.

Ao Gumu sent Mu Linlin to get into his father's luxury car and left, he looked at the agate pendant in his hand, which Mu Linlin gave him, saying that it was a gift for her best friend, and she was really happy to play with him.

The Spring Festival of that year was also the happiest Spring Festival for Ao Gu, but it was also the Spring Festival when he was most disappointed.

He accompanied her from No. 1 Complex Street to No. 25 Complex Street, and he still hadn't eaten or played on No. 26 and No. 27 Complex Street, but he was no longer in the mood to eat and play, he had just lost a good friend he had known for a short time.

......

"Mu Linlin, Xie Nannan, you look like you!" Ao Gu was hazy, constantly muttering these two names.

Suddenly, he felt a little hot in his head, the kind of heat that he could feel, not the kind of heat he had when he had a fever.

Soon, the heat turned hot, and he felt as if his head had been thrown into a pan of oil and fried, and he covered his head with his hands and roared in pain, his face almost twisted.

"Ao Gu! Ao Gu! What's wrong with you! Don't scare us!"

In the real world, Xie Nannan and Zhen Ye also rushed over from the playground at this time.

Wu Man felt powerless again, and now she didn't know how to help Ao Gu relieve the pain.

Ao Gu, who was lying on the stretcher, was about to explode in pain, he grabbed his hair and rolled wildly, and his low roar of pain was more terrible than that of a beast, which showed how painful he was now.

Uncle Kang and Tianbo were afraid that Ao Gu would roll elsewhere and be injured, so they hurriedly took out the spring belt and tied it up.

During the struggle, an agate pendant on Ao Gu's chest slipped out.

When others saw it, they didn't think it was anything unusual, but Xie Nannan on the side was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

Because, she used to have an identical pendant, which was left to her by her mother.

Eight years ago, she was lost in Longmen Town, and when she was crying sadly, a strange little boy ran over to comfort her, gave her a little candy man, and finally helped her find her father.

She will always remember that day was the happiest day she ever had.

The little boy also taught her what a "friend" was, and also took her to buy a lot of delicious and fun food. Looking back now, the little boy should have spent all his New Year's money to comfort her.

Every time she thought about it, she would involuntarily laugh secretly, but the next moment she was a little lost.

She and he will never see each other again.

After that, she always wanted to find a chance to go to Xialongmen Town to find the little boy again, but the reality was cruel, and she didn't have a chance.

It wasn't until she was in college that she had the opportunity to sneak over, but her slip almost separated her from her father.
