Chapter 139: The Back in the Cold Wind
It is not easy to find out the two children from such a city, from noon to afternoon, from afternoon to evening, seven or eight hours have passed, and there is still no news.
The time is gradually approaching nine o'clock in the evening, today is the famous fireworks festival of the Lan River, the merchants on both sides of the road are planted with all kinds of fireworks on the snowdrifts in front of the door, from time to time fireworks will be lit, and the sky will burst out with brilliant brilliance.
Bang bang bang......
The sound of fireworks bursting continued to reach the ears of Ye Feng and a few people, but a few people had no intention of enjoying the rare scenery in the sky.
Ye Feng looked at the time and said to Ren Hongyu and several other leading actors: "It's almost nine o'clock, you still have a play tomorrow, so go back first." ”
Ren Hongyu's face was already a little pale, and after hearing this, he nodded with difficulty, and asked again, "What about you?" I'm afraid it's too late and it's not safe, so why don't you go back with us and look for it tomorrow." ”
Ye Feng pondered for a moment, looked at Ou Bao'er and said, "Otherwise, Bao'er, you can go back first, and I'll go around by myself." ”
Ou Baoer shook her head firmly: "I'll accompany you, anyway, I haven't played for the past two days, as for safety, hehe, you see how lively the street is today, what's not safe." ”
Indeed, many people come out to watch the fireworks during this fireworks festival, and there are more people than during the day, so safety is not a problem.
Waiting for Ren Hongyu and a few people to leave, Ye Feng took Ou Baoer and continued to walk around the street, and more than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the time was already more than ten o'clock in the night. The number of people on the street gradually decreased, Ye Feng looked at Ou Bao'er next to him who was frozen and his face was pale, and said, "Forget it, let's stop here today, and we'll continue to look for it tomorrow." ”
Ye Feng thought that Ou Baoer would agree, but he didn't expect Ou Bao to shake his head firmly again: "Look for it again, it's really hard for me to imagine how the two children can survive in such weather, and finding them a minute earlier can make them suffer less pain." ”
Look at Opal's determined eyes. Ye Feng was silent for a moment. nodded and said: "Then look for it again, but you have to go back at eleven o'clock, otherwise if you catch a cold and get sick, there will be problems in the subsequent shooting." ”
Ou Baoer nodded: "It doesn't matter if you can find it or not." We'll go back at eleven o'clock. ”
The two of them said. Just continue to weave from street to street. The night is getting darker, and the weather is getting colder, before you know it. Snowflakes flew in the sky, and in just a moment, it turned from light snow to heavy snow, and each snowflake was the size of a goose feather, and it spread a layer on the ground in minutes.
The wind is blowing, the wind blows on people's faces like knives, and the already small number of pedestrians on the road has become more rare, and even vehicles are rare, Ye Feng took Ou Baoer to hide in a small supermarket, the supermarket is the kind of small shop run by individuals, the owner is a lean middle-aged woman, and when she saw the two of them coming in and snowy, she vigorously promoted things.
"Then cook two bowls of noodles, we'll eat here, and wait for someone to pick us up."
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he led Ou Baoer to a small table inside and sat down, then took out the phone and called Li Qingmin, asking him to arrange a car to pick up the two of them back to the hotel.
The proprietress quickly cooked two bowls of hot noodle soup, the two of them were hungry all night, and they were frozen enough, and they didn't care about the noodles, they ate with the bowl, and the hot noodles went down to the stomach, and the bodies of the two gradually warmed up.
The proprietress returned to the counter, the shop was quiet, Ye Feng and Ou Baoer didn't say a word except for burying their heads in eating noodles, they were really not in the mood to say more, the weather outside could freeze to death, and now it was even more windy and snowy, it was hard to imagine how difficult it would be for the little brothers and sisters to survive in such an environment.
Just when the two of them were about to finish eating, the door of the small supermarket was pushed open, but because there were several shelves, the two didn't see who came in, and they could only hear the voice of the proprietress rushing people: "Go out, go out, go out, there are enough people to send the God of Wealth today, and the money spent by the old lady to buy these things will be earned for several days, let's go, don't, don't." ”
Ye Feng knows that there is a tradition here, that is, to send the God of Wealth during the fireworks festival, many lonely and widowed old people who have a very difficult life will buy a few rolls of plastic statues of the God of Wealth and send them to various stores, each family will give one, how much money to give depends on the mood of the family, more to give a few pieces, less to give a few cents, only very poor and lack of survival ability people will do this kind of thing.
Ou Baoer didn't know about this, and was still frowning and worried about the little brother and sister, while Ye Feng was also a little absent-minded and didn't pay too much attention.
The door of the small supermarket was pushed open again, and it seemed that the person who gave the God of Wealth could not deliver the God of Wealth and was driven away.
"At first glance, he is a novice, with no experience at all, and if he is an experienced guy, I'm afraid he won't leave if he can't get the money." Ye Feng's thoughts drifted away in a messy way, and his eyes were a little scattered.
The door of the small supermarket closed slowly, and just as the door was about to close, a young and faint child's voice came through the crack in the door that had not yet been closed.
"Brother, the noodles in it just now taste so good, Niuniu is hungry."
Bang!
The door of the small supermarket was completely closed, as if the two worlds were being separated.
Ye Feng's hand holding the noodles stiffened suddenly, and the whole person seemed to freeze, and the chopsticks in Ou Baoer's hand fell directly to the ground.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then jumped up from their seats, grabbed their belongings, and rushed outside.
"Money, money, money, you haven't given it yet." The proprietress yelled anxiously, stepped forward and grabbed the placket of the two of them, and did not let go.
"I'll be back to you later." Ye Feng's mind was full of the immature child's voice, and he wanted to break free of the boss's pull.
"No, you can't go, where will I find you when you leave, give money first, give money first." The proprietress not only did not let go, but grabbed the two tighter, and even had a tendency to sit on the ground and hug the thighs of the two.
Ye Feng's anxious forehead was sweating, he could be sure that the immature children's voice just now was made by the younger sister of the little brothers and sisters, and now he just wanted to rush out to find the two children, you must know that it was the middle of the night, and the wind and snow were so big, a little later, maybe the two of them would disappear into the night.
"Here you go, here you go, no need to look for it."
Ye Feng threw down a hundred-yuan bill, and then pulled Ou Baoer and rushed out of the supermarket.
Call!
The icy cold wind hit the faces of the two of them at once, but the two of them didn't notice it at all, and they all glanced around like crazy, hoping to see the two small figures.
One turn, two turns, three turns.
No, no, nothing, nothing but thick snow on the streets, and even the footprints were blown away by the wind.
Ou Baoer was about to cry in a hurry, Ye Feng was also pale for a while, did he really want to pass by, thinking of the immature voice just now, thinking of the two children going to come out to send the God of Wealth on such a snowy night, his heart was aching faintly.
"What should I do, Ye Feng, what should I do?" Ou Baoer jumped straight to her feet, grabbed Ye Feng's arm with both hands at a loss, and shook it vigorously, she couldn't imagine what it would be like for a seven or eight-year-old boy to lead a five or six-year-old blind girl around in such weather.
Ye Feng took a deep breath and calmed down a little: "Don't worry, since they sent the God of Wealth, they will definitely enter the store, there are not many stores that are still open at this time, let's take a look." ”
Ou Baoer originally had no master, and when she heard Ye Feng's words, she nodded vigorously as if she had finally grasped the backbone of the main heart.
"You go over there, I'll go this way, remember, don't go far, don't go out of this street, they should still be on this street."
Ye Feng instructed Ou Baoer a few more words, and the two of them chose a direction to start looking for someone.
Before he could go far, Ye Feng heard Ou Bao'er shouting behind him: "Ye Feng, come here, come here, I see them." ”
When Ye Feng heard this, he hurriedly ran towards Ou Baoer, and before he could run to Ou Baoer's side, he saw the two small figures in the direction that Ou Baoer was pointing.
It was a hot pot restaurant, the door of the store was completely composed of floor-to-ceiling glass, through the door, you could see that there was a little boy leading a little girl to stand in front of the counter, the little boy was holding a stack of red statues of the God of Wealth, and the little girl was timidly holding the little boy's hand, a few meters away from them, there was a table of happy guests eating, in front of them, there was an expressionless waiter, even if they were far away, Ye Feng could feel the anticipation and helplessness of the two children, I don't know why, This picture made him feel an indescribable desolation.
The waiter seemed to say something, but the little boy still held the statue of the God of Wealth in his hand, and the little girl approached the little boy tremblingly.
This scene lasted for about ten seconds, and the waitress seemed impatient and began to wave away.
The little boy lowered his head, slowly withdrew his hands that raised the statue of the God of Wealth, carefully put the stack of red statues of the God of Wealth into his arms, and then pulled the little girl out of the hot pot restaurant without saying a word.
Ye Feng and Ou Baoer looked at this scene in a daze, tears blurred their eyes at some point.
The little boy led the little girl out of the hot pot restaurant, the biting cold wind did not stop their steps, the two young children held hands, faced the wind and snow, and walked to the next shop step by step.
The snow was too thick, at least for the two young children, and with every step they took would be submerged in their knees, and cold snow foam would pour into their trouser legs and shoes.
The wind was stronger, blowing their thin, unexplained clothes and even exposing their skin to the wind and snow.
Looking at the two little backs of the cold wind struggling to move forward, Ye Feng and Ou Baoer's minds were blank, the little match girl was just a fairy tale, but what appeared in front of them now was a cold reality. (To be continued......)
