Wang Ying woke up, the second daughter Shi An was sitting in the bed and playing with the thread in her hand, and when she saw her mother wake up, she hurriedly rushed over and arched into her mother's arms, and coquettishly played with her mother.

Shi An is white and chubby, his arms and legs are like lotus roots harvested in autumn, his face is like a full moon, his eyes are big, round and black, his eyelashes are as long as cocoa, and his small mouth is like a flower bone, but his nose is not tall in the comparison of his face full of flesh.

Wang Ying hugged her daughter Xiangxiang's soft body and kissed her daughter on the face, and the two of them were tired of being crooked on the bed for a while, making the two-year-old Shi An giggle.

The two of them played for a while, and Wang Yingcai realized that her home was so quiet, but Keke stayed at home for the past few days, where did she run away again?

"Coco." Wang Ying shouted, and seeing that no one answered, she frowned, and said in her heart that this child has only been honest for a few days, is this itchy again? Thinking in her heart, when Coco's father comes back, she will tell Shi Ke well, and then let Coco's father scare and scare her.

The transportation team of the machine construction department is subordinate to the Third Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of Railways, mainly for transportation, Shi Dayong is the driver of the unit, and the unit will go where there is work, so Shi Dayong often travels, and it is common for him not to go home for three or two days when he has a lot of work.

Wang Ying thought that Shi Ke was playing with the boys in the yard again, she put on Shi An's shoes, sat under the shadow of the wall in the yard with Shi An, she let Shi An play beside her, and took out the soles of Zhengna's shoes with a sewing basket and began to prick them.

The sun slowly sank to the west, and at dusk, it was taking light steps, from the other side of the cliff, quietly rising little by little.

Wang Ying made dinner, has been outside the door several times, to as usual, this little gluttonous cat Shi Ke has already returned to the nest, today is abnormal, a group of children do not know where to run, Wang Ying and others are anxious, she always feels that something is wrong, but she just doesn't know what is wrong, she thought about it, hugged Shi An and walked to Zhang Qiang's house in the row of houses.

Zhang Qiang, like Shi Dayong, often travels outside, in the words of their unit, is on duty. Zhang Qiang and Shi Dayong are both demobilized soldiers, and they have inseparable feelings with the troops.

Zhang Jun is the leader of this group of Tao boys, tall and strong, in his own words, he is the commander, and his brothers are all his soldiers, and the soldiers must listen to him, otherwise his fists will not be forgiving. Of course, he listened to Shi Ke, Shi Ke was his military advisor, of course he had to listen to her, and besides, who called Shi Kejun came, it was comfortable to watch, and he was happy to listen to Shi Ke's command.

His mother also said that he fell in love with Shi Ke, and said that he had said hello to Aunt Wang, and when Coco grew up, he would ask Coco to come to his family as a daughter-in-law. Did you hear it, his daughter-in-law, his boss, that must be his daughter-in-law, hehe, the seven-year-old boy also knows that marrying a daughter-in-law is a good thing.

Of course, there are also those who are not convinced, who doesn't want to be a commander? How majestic and magnificent! Zhang Jun can't look down on those rebels at all, he is as thin as a little chick that his mother just caught, if he wants to be a commander, come and talk to my fist!

Subdued several thorny rebellions, his position as a commander was deeply entrenched, and this time the team had already been disbanded, and each went back to his own house to fill his belly.

knocked on the door, and saw Cui Yunxiang leading the three boys to eat, Cui Yunxiang was holding a rolled pancake and nibbling, they were all from Shandong, and they were also fellow villagers, so the two families walked closer. People in Hebei rarely eat pancakes, and the two of them are not very used to it, so they burn pancakes every three or five times and cook pancakes together to satisfy their hunger.

Seeing that it was Wang Ying, Cui Yunxiang put the pancakes on the table, and her voice was crisp and loud: "Big sister, have you eaten it?" Let's have a bite to eat. ”

"No, sister-in-law, I'm done, but Coco hasn't come back yet, didn't you play with Coco today?" Wang Ying originally thought that Zhang Jun hadn't gone home either, but when she saw Zhang Jun obediently holding pancakes and eating them, she felt even more wrong.

Coco skin, but she doesn't run around, she never plays with the children outside the family hospital, and her daily range of activities is around the compound and around the cliff, and she rarely goes to other places.

Cui Yunxiang patted Zhang Jun, who was eating obliminently, on the head: "Patronizing and eating, what did your aunt ask you about, did you hear it?" ”

Zhang Jun has had a bit of a cold in the past two days, and his nose has always flowed down unconsciously, he sucked his nose and said angrily: "Aunt Wang, Coco hasn't played with us these days, and we didn't call her today." ”

Wang Ying was anxious, she looked at Cui Yunxiang with a panicked face: "Sister-in-law, I don't know where I went, and I haven't come back yet." ”

"Aunt Wang, don't worry, have you found it nearby?"

"No, I thought Coco was with the army."

Cui Yunxiang took off the apron on her body, walked to Wang Ying's side, took Shi An, and put it on the small bench at the dinner table to explain: "Junzi, second soldier, you two are optimistic about your sister, I and your Aunt Wang will go out to find it." ”

Saying that, she brought her rice bowl over: "It's just right, my bowl of rice hasn't moved yet, Junzi, you take a spoon and feed An An." ”

As soon as he heard about Coco's sister, Zhang Jun was also anxious, so he directly wiped his nose with his sleeve and stood up angrily: "Mother, I'll go too!" ”

"What are you messing with? Honestly look after your younger siblings at home! Cui Yunxiang raised her eyebrows and her eyes widened.

Zhang Jun pursed his lips and sat down aggrievedly with his little body twisted.

Following Cui Yunxiang, the two searched the neighborhood, and the Tao boys also asked, but none of them saw Coco.

When the people in the family home heard that Coco was missing, they all took flashlights to help Wang Ying find it.

There is no in the courtyard, there is no outside the courtyard, there is no near the earth cliff, where can this child go?

Wang Ying looked for it again and again, and her voice was hoarse: "Cocoa, Cocoa went home for dinner, and my mother made your favorite scrambled eggs." ”

Scrambled eggs, for Shi Ke, that's the top temptation. Shi Ke likes to eat eggs the most, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, steamed eggs, as long as it is a dish made of eggs, she likes to eat them all, and it is not enough.

The twilight became thicker and thicker, and slowly, the four fields were shrouded in black ink satin, and the beams of flashlights were all over the mountains, and gradually, hope was replaced by disappointment.

Finally found that he always felt that something was wrong today, it turned out that something was wrong with Coco, Wang Ying was paralyzed, and he almost didn't have the strength to walk, Cui Yunxiang and Dapeng Niang walked back with Wang Ying.

Wang Ying kept muttering in a hoarse voice: "Coco, where are you?" Coco, go home ....... Her tears kept flowing, and her tears were blurry and she couldn't see the route at all, but instinctively moved with Cui Yunxiang and Dapeng Niang.

Back at Cui's house, Zhang Jun hurriedly stood up and asked, "Mother, have you found Sister Coco?" ”

Cui Yunxiang shook his head and instructed Zhang Jun: "Junzi, go and pour a glass of water for your aunt." ”

Hearing Cui Yunxiang shouting Junzi, Wang Ying seemed to have the strength, broke free from Cui Yunxiang and Dapeng Niang, grabbed Zhang Jun's hand, and said eagerly with hope: "Junzi, tell Auntie, where do you usually go to play?!" ”

Zhang Jun was taken aback by Wang Ying, he raised his eyes to look at Cui Yunxiang, Cui Yunxiang shouted sharply: "Tell your aunt, where do you usually go to play?" ”

Zhang Jun shrunk his neck when he was yelled at by his mother: "We didn't go anywhere to play, it's nearby, and the farthest is to the back cliff." ”

"No, no, I've searched all over ......." Wang Ying muttered, and sat directly on the ground with a weak body.

At this time, the people in the family home walked in one after another, crowding the small hut to the brim, and Dapeng Niang pulled a handful of Maza: "Coco Mom, don't sit on the ground, it's cold on the ground." ”

"Hurry up and go to the police." The crowd didn't know who was talking: "Master Shi will be back tomorrow." ”

Cui Yunxiang escaped and knew that the young man named Li Weiguo, who had just moved in from the department, replied: "Well, come back tomorrow, Dayong and our military father are on duty at the same point, and they should come back tomorrow." ”

"Auntie." At this time, Zhang Jun said timidly: "There is an apricot tree in the back cliff, a few days ago, Sister Coco said that when the apricots are ripe, she will give them to her aunt to eat, is it Sister Coco to pick apricots?" ”

Like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, Wang Ying stood up as soon as he pounced, took Zhang Jun's little hand and walked out: "Where is it?" Take your aunt with you! ”

Everyone hula and walked out again, not much effort, a circle of people surrounded the wild apricot tree, all the flashlights were shining on the tree, for a time the whole apricot tree was as bright as day, each branch was repeatedly illuminated many times, Li Weiguo even climbed the tree to search for it, however, there was still no result.

Li Weiguo jumped down from the tree, stood in front of Wang Ying sympathetically and said: "Let's go to the public security first, I'll ask someone to go to the garrison point for a while, and if Master Shi hasn't left to come back, let him go back quickly." ”

Wang Ying's hand hung weakly, the beam of the flashlight fell on the surface of her feet, she turned around, and walked deeply and shallowly with her vague steps.

Suddenly, she stood up suddenly, under the light and shadow, a small bamboo basket was lying there, she knew the basket, it was Cocoa's thing, it was a gift from Coco's father on a business trip to Coco, the small basket was delicate and beautiful, similar to pomegranate flowers, round belly, and the blue mouth also made a circle of lace, usually Cocoa Baby's is very, even An An has to ask Coco's permission if she wants to play, at this time the basket is lying there quietly, and there are scattered apricots around.

"Cocoa's basket!" Wang Ying threw herself over, and didn't even have time to squat down, so she sat on the ground, her hands trembled, and she picked up the basket tremblingly.

Everyone gathered around, the beam of light was concentrated on the basket, the beautiful basket had been deformed, and there was even a hole under the round belly, and the appearance of the hole was caused by external forces, probably someone punched it, and it seemed to be a kick.

Wang Ying hugged the basket, her heart was distressed, even the basket was broken like this, what would become of her child? She looked at the crowd around her, laughed miserably and raised the broken basket in her hand: "You see, Coco has been here, really been here, this is Coco's basket, Coco must have been hidden somewhere, she is still angry with me, I beat him up a few days ago, right?" ”

All.......

Wang Ying suddenly got out of the gap between everyone's legs, she ran up, frantically searching, shouting while looking, her hoarse voice became more and more heartbreaking: "Coco, don't hide, mom saw you!" Coco go home, Mommy won't beat you again! ”

Everyone reacted a little slower, and when they reacted, they chased after it, in fact, everyone has been looking for this piece many times, but they haven't paid attention to this apricot tree before, and everyone understands that at this time, they won't find anyone even if they turn over this piece.

Li Weiguo ran the fastest, and he held Wang Ying's shoulder: "Sister-in-law, calm down, go to the public security first, listen to me, go to the public security!" ”

Wang Ying's eyes won't roll, she stared into the distance in a daze, the surroundings were pitch black, the black made people desperate, and the heaven and earth seemed to be a dark abyss that wanted to swallow people into.

Her heart ached, and in her chest, a knife was stripping her flesh and blood, looking for her heart, and then stabbed it one by one, twice, three times, .......

It hurt so much that it was hard for her to breathe, and she clung to the clothes on her chest, sat down on her knees, bent over and began to breathe heavily, hoping to relieve the sudden pain, but to no avail.

Wang Ying under the light, her lips were pale, her face was bloodless, her hair was unkempt on her shoulders, and the top of her head was full of weeds and dead branches, she stretched out her hand to the endless night sky, as if she had grasped something: "Coco, mother's heart, mother will take you home." After saying this, Wang Ying's body tilted and fainted on the ground.

"Big girl!"

"Coco's mother!"

"Auntie!"

Everyone was in chaos, and they helped Wang Ying up, but Li Weiguo was calm, he instructed everyone to carry Wang Ying home to the health center in the team to take care of him for the time being, and he rode his bicycle to the public security bureau to report the case.
