Chapter 50: Lost and Found
It's a pity that it's just a blurry side, and the oblique bangs cover the part above the eyes, and the face can't be seen really. On this basis alone, I can't find myself at all, and the only way to do it is to start from a taxi, which is the only clue at present.
Xu Chenyi contacted the car rental company and learned that the taxi driver with the license plate number 7177 was surnamed Li. We quickly rushed to Master Li's house, thinking that we could find Sister Wang, but we didn't expect Master Li to also disappear.
I heard from a neighbor that Master Li's wife's surname is Wang, and it has been confirmed that she is Sister Wang who took An Ming away! The two have not had children because Sister Wang is infertile, originally they had good economic conditions, but in order to treat Sister Wang, they spent all the money from the family, and they have not been cured.
Master Li and Sister Wang have very good personalities, and they are often enthusiastic about helping others, and everyone has expressed that they don't believe that Sister Wang will steal children, even if they are probably forced to do so. Master Li is ten years older than Sister Wang, and he has no children in his forties this year, and his parents are also more than eighty years older, perhaps because they want a grandson more when they are old.
"Lao Li's parents called me twice in three days to complain, what to say, oops, their Lao Li family is about to be broken in this generation, and there is no successor." A woman learns to speak with the old man in style.
Another chimed in: "Isn't it? The two of them often quarrel about having children! ”
"......," the neighbors, you and I said one word at a time.
"Do you know where they might go?" Compared to me, Xu Chenyi is quite calm.
Everyone shook their heads, "This ...... We don't know. ”
The last glimmer of hope is gone!
I didn't want to listen to them anymore, so I rushed out and ran downstairs and down the street.
Like a madman, crying and shouting: "An Ming! Anming! Where are you? ”
I called again and again, but no one answered.
The night air was so cold that there was no temperature, and a small wind blew, and some memories of the past were carried in by these winds.
It was a cold winter, with heavy snow and no one on the streets. I heard a baby's cry, and it was so desolate, it was so tugging. I heard the sound and walked over, the baby boy was wearing thin clothes, lying alone in the ice and snow and crying, he was An Ming who was born with both parents dead! He was cruelly abandoned by his adoptive parents by a garbage dump on a street corner in a foreign country, his whole body was cold, his lips were purple from the cold, and he was only a month old at the time!
I took off my coat and wrapped his trembling body tightly around him and carried him back home. That night he had a high fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius, which is very dangerous for a baby who has just reached the end of his month. I took care of him overnight for several days before he slowly recovered.
WHEN HE FIRST ADOPTED, HE WAS SO YOUNG, LESS THAN 50CM. When he was three months old, he learned to smile at me, in July he learned to sit, at eight months he began to climb, at ten months he was able to stand up, at the age of one year and a month he learned to walk, when he was one and a half years old, he babbled and called me "Mommy" for the first time, I burst into tears, hugged him excitedly, and kept kissing him. I remember every bit of being with An Ming, it was he who accompanied me through the most difficult two years in the United States, brought laughter to my boring life, and gave me a sense of responsibility as a mother.
Obviously he is so small and young, only two years old, but he is more sensible than the average older child. How many times have I woken up from a dream, sat on the bed and cried quietly, he would get up and wipe my tears with a tissue, and learn my tone and say, "Mom, don't cry, crying is not a good child." "It's like a little adult.
Then I would hold him and tell him that there was a person I loved in another country, and his name was Wen Yimo.
Because children don't have much memory, they never get tired of listening to it. He would always snuggle up in my arms, pouting and asking sadly, "Does Mom not love An An anymore?" ”
I doted on the tip of his nose and said, "You and he are both mother's favorite people." ”
Whenever he heard this, he would smile and kiss me, "An An also loves her mother." ”
His delicate eyebrows, clear eyes, sweet cherry mouth, and a baby fat little face......
I sat down on the ground weakly, clasped my knees with my hands, and cried bitterly: "An Ming, An Ming, where are you?" My poor child, mommy sorry for you. It's all mothers who are bad and gullible. Mom promised you to let you grow up happily, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
Xu Chenyi hugged me in his arms and comforted: "Chenxi, the child will definitely find it, believe me." ”
"Without An Ming, I can't live anymore." I thumped him in the chest, crying so hard that his throat hurt and my voice was hoarse.
Wen Yimo has left me, and now I only have An Ming left, I can't live without him! Even though we are not related by blood, he grew up little by little in my infancy, and from the time he called me "Mommy", I was destined to be his mother for the rest of my life, and he was my child.
I pushed Xu Chenyi away violently, like a walking corpse, wandering aimlessly on the street, tears had dried up. The mouth repeated over and over again "An Ming, An Ming......"
Suddenly, I saw a woman in front of me whose back was somewhat similar to Sister Wang, holding a two-year-old boy in her hand, I rushed forward and grabbed the child, hugged him tightly, and kissed him on the cheek, "An Ming, mom is here, don't be afraid." ”
The child was so frightened that she cried so much that the woman became anxious and tried to get the child back. I ran forward desperately with him in my arms, pressing his head in my arms and resting my chin on his head, "An Ming, Mom won't let you be taken away by others again, never!" ”
"Give me back my child! You crazy woman! The woman chased and shouted angrily, pointing to my back and begging for help from the passers-by: "Snatch the child, snatch the child!" Help me catch her! ”
"Chenxi, you stop, don't do stupid things." Xu Chenyi also caught up.
The child in his hand, crying constantly.
"An Ming, they are all bad people, they want to take you away and not let us be together." My arms tightened tighter and tighter, afraid that he would leave me.
Xu Chenyi ruthlessly snatched the child away and returned it to the woman, and the woman hurriedly took the child and got into the car and drove away.
I couldn't give up chasing forward, "An Ming! Give me back the child, give it back to me! ”
Xu Chenyi blocked my way, "Liu Chenxi! Be sensible, he's not An Ming! ”
"He's not An Ming, so where is my child and where is he being taken?" I muttered to myself, looking around with vacant eyes, my eyes searching for An Ming's figure.
Unexpectedly, I saw him, to be exact, them.
Wang Yuan affectionately held Wen Yimo's arm, she stroked her hair with her hand, and looked at Wen Yimo's eyes, the smile on her face instantly stiffened, and her eyes were full of shock.
I stood there slightly stunned, wanting to turn away, choosing to continue to escape, just like I had two years ago.
Just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Wen Yimo, "I'll help you find the child." ”
I could hardly believe that was what he said.
At noon, I cried and begged him to help me find the child, in exchange for a cold "let go" and a merciless kick.
"Here's all the relevant information." Xu Chenyi handed Wen Jiàn to Wen Yimo and said politely, "I'm sorry for you."
Wen Yimo took Wen Jiàn, and then got in the car with Wang Yuan and left.
A warm current poured into my heart, and I inexplicably felt more trust, believing in him for no reason.
"Hey, Dad." I dialed the phone number I knew all too well.
I won't go to him unless I have to, I have never taken the initiative to contact him in the past eight years, but for the sake of An Ming, I am willing to bow my head and find more hope for one more person.
"Xiaoxi?" On the other end of the phone, Dad asked in surprise.
"Well, I'm back home."
"Let's move back."
I almost didn't hesitate to turn him down. "No, I beg you to do me a favor."
Over the years, I have kept a distance from him, and the relationship has become estranged a lot, and even the words have become polite.
Dad was silent for a while, and said, "If you have something to say, I'll do my best."
I told my dad about the whole story and sent him a picture of An Ming.
"Okay, I'll send someone to find it."
Xu Chenyi took me to his house and stayed with him temporarily, only to know that he and Jiang Kexin had moved in together at the beginning of this year.
"Chenxi, you left without saying a word, and you still know that you came back?" Jiang Kexin hugged me and patted me on the back.
"Kexin I'm sorry, I ......"
When he left, he was disheartened and only sent a text message to Wen Yimo. After arriving in the United States, my mother sued them and I also went to the United States.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
Jiang Kexin and I wiped away tears for each other, now is not the time to catch up, the top priority is to find An Ming.
I printed out a lot of missing person notices, and one of them was posted all over the streets.
An Ming, mom misses you.
An Ming, I'm sorry, it's all my mother's fault.
I anxiously took An Ming's photo and asked passers-by, "Do you have this little boy in the photo?" ”
"Nope."
"Have you ever seen this kid?"
"I haven't seen it."
“……”
asked one passer-by after another, posted a lot of missing person notices, and asked a lot of friends for help, but they didn't find An Ming.
Just when I was about to despair, Wen Yimo called me.
"I found him."
When I heard these five words, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I immediately rushed to the hotel where Sister Wang lived, Master Li and Sister Wang were squatting in the corner with their heads in their hands, and several men looked fierce and vicious, guarding them every step of the way.
Looking around for a week, there was no An Ming, and the heart that had just fallen was lifted again, "What about An Ming?" ”
One of the men said respectfully, "Miss Liu, he was taken to Wen Shao's apartment."
I quickly took the car to Wen Yimo's apartment, and it was Wang Yuan who opened the door.
The moment I walked in the door, the laughter in the room came to an abrupt end.
"Mom." An Ming ran over and hugged me.
"Child, give Mom a good look." I held his face and kissed it incessantly, crying with joy and speechless with excitement.
Fortunately, it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't have forgiven myself for the rest of my life!
