As soon as Grandma saw that Lu Zhenan asked Zhao's father to send it back, she understood what was going on, and said a little embarrassed: "Oh, I asked you to send it back, I was looking for this dead girl, and I ran out to play by myself without looking at it!" Really! Thank you! ”

Father Zhao waved his hand and said, "Auntie, look at what you said, what are you polite!" I'll go first, don't you have to help find the child! After saying that, Zhao's father turned around and left.

Lu Zhenan didn't understand why the adults were like this at that time, until she finally knew why, but by that time she didn't have the courage to tell the truth!

Then a few days later, Lu Zhenan was watched closely by her grandmother and had no chance to go out, but she was too bored, so she secretly ran to Zhao Sijia's door again, this time she deliberately observed in advance to see if Zhao's father was not there, so as not to be arrested again.

Lu Zhenan waited in front of the door for a while, and when he found that there was no one, he called Zhao Sijia's name outside the door, "Zhao Sijia!" Zhao Sijia ......"

After a while, Zhao Sijia stretched out half of his head from the door, and when he saw that it was Lu Zhenan, his face changed, "Zhenan? What are you doing here? ”

When Lu Zhenan saw Zhao Sijia come out, he said excitedly: "You finally came out!" I'm so bored at home, I want to come to you, but last time I asked my dad to send me home, this time I waited for a long time, and I called you when your dad wasn't at home! ”

"I didn't expect you to dare to come to me, I don't dare to go out these days!" Zhao Sijia said dejectedly.

Lu Zhenan said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of, where are so many traffickers from?" ”

"But now after all, Li Xiangning can't be found, I wonder if we forgot her in your backyard that day?" Zhao Sijia said worriedly.

Lu Zhenan was stunned for a moment, and then said in shock, "Who did you say couldn't be found?" ”

Zhao Sijia didn't expect Lu Zhenan's reaction to be so big, and she was stupid, "Li, Li Xiangning, don't you know?" ”

Lu Zhenan suddenly grabbed Zhao Sijia's hand and said, "Are you saying that the adults have been finding the child Li Xiangning these days?" ”

Zhao Sijia felt a little pain in her hand, so she pulled it back and said, "Yes, who else is she not?" ”

After hearing this, Lu Zhenan turned around and left, but was stopped by Zhao Sijia, "Zhenan! Why are you going? ”

"I'm going to tell the adults, we were the last people Li Xiangning was together that day!" Lu Zhenan said excitedly.

But Zhao Sijia stopped her from doing so, "Are you crazy? The three of us didn't say it and thought you didn't want to say it, so we didn't say it, it's been a few days, and now we say it, isn't it obvious that we killed her? ”

Lu Zhenan was also stunned when he heard this, yes, now he said that he would definitely be scolded by adults very badly...... But where will Li Xiangning go that day?

"Sijia, think about it, where did Li Xiangning hide that day?"

Zhao Sijia tried to think about it for a while before she said slowly, "Now that I think about it, I saw that she seemed to have gone to the dry well that day, she could never fall into the dry well, right?" ”

"It's so likely! Let's go, hurry up and call Zhang Chu and Wen Yuan to take a look, let's go and see first, if it's really inside, we'll call the adults! ”

So the four of them went back to the backyard of the old house, where almost no one came, only a few of their children secretly came here to play, when the four of them walked to the backyard again, they felt that this place was a little different from before, but they couldn't say what was different.

Among the four people, the most daring at that time belonged to Lu Zhenan, don't look at her as a girl, she is more daring than the two boys, she first walked to the edge of the dry well and looked inside, it was pitch black, she couldn't see anything, but fortunately Zhang Chu took a flashlight.

Several people lay on the edge of the dry well together, shining a flashlight down......

The well is not very deep, only seven or eight meters, but it is too deep for a child who is not yet ten years old, and there is nothing below except some hay and dried yellow mud.

Lu Zhenan drank at the bottom of the well, "Li Xiangning, are you down there?" Hearing the answer, Li Xiangning! ”

Her voice echoed in the wall of the well, listening to a particularly terrifying sound, and the frightened Chen Wenyuan said directly, "Don't scream, Li Xiangning is not stupid, how could she hide in such a deep well?" ”

"I think so, let's go!" Zhang Chu echoed.

But when the four of them just wanted to leave, the flashlight inadvertently shone on something at the bottom of the well, Lu Zhenan was the first to find it, everyone took a closer look, it was actually a girl's foot, and the shoes on it looked very similar to what Li Xiangning wore on the day she disappeared.

Just as a few people looked at each other, the foot suddenly retracted into the darkness, and a few were stunned for a moment, and then ran out of the backyard of the old mansion screaming in fright......

The four of them ran a long way in one breath before stopping, and Zhao Sijia was the first to say, "Did you see what it was just now?" Isn't it Li Xiangning? ”

Zhang Chu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, if it's her, why don't you answer Zhe Nan when she asks her, let's see her feet and she has to retract it, I feel that even Li Xiangning is not a person, it must be her ghost!" ”

Lu Zhenan was also scared into a cold sweat, just now she also advocated telling the adults, this will also be dumbfounded, I don't know whether to say it or not, until the other three people's opinions are very unanimous, and they all agree that they can't tell the adults.

So the minority obeyed the majority, and this matter became a secret in the hearts of several people, and it was agreed that no one was allowed to say it to outsiders.

Later, after the summer vacation ended, several people went back to school, and I don't know if it was because Li Xiangning was never found, and none of the four of them came back since.

Listening to grandma, Li Xiangning's mother Zheng Xiulian finally went crazy because of this incident, she asked if she saw her daughter all day long, a crazy woman, the neighbors took pity on her and gave her a bite to eat, but she couldn't look at her every day, and as a result, on a snowy night, Zheng Xiulian froze to death outside.

This incident left a big shadow in Lu Zhenan's heart, she always felt that it was their carelessness that killed Li Xiangning, if a few people found out that Li Xiangning was missing that day, they would find the adults in time, maybe they would be able to find Li Xiangning, and her mother would not be crazy, let alone freeze to death outside.

It is also for this reason that Lu Zhenan has not come back for nearly 20 years, and even when her grandmother died, she found an excuse to go to the United States and did not come back.

Lu Zhenan also inquired about the beginning and end of Li Xiangning's disappearance, but he never found any clues about Li Xiangning, and finally could only be archived as a child abduction and trafficking case.

The four of them went home after dinner at Lu Zhenan's house, and Zhang Chu was even more excited to take out his mobile phone to show his son as soon as he got home, "Come, how about seeing Dad's friends when he was a child?" Now we've all known each other for over twenty years! (To be continued.) )
