Chapter 63: The Dawn Dew (2)
That day, Chen Shi took his two younger sisters to the department store to play, the mall is very large, the first to the fourth floor are all selling clothes, the fifth floor is a bookstore, the sixth floor is selling food, and then there are some clubs and other places.
Since this day was a rest day and it was crowded everywhere, Chen Shi took Chen Xi and Xiuxiu to the sixth floor, found a place for them to sit down and went to order food by themselves, but when he returned to his seat, Chen Xi and Xiuxiu were gone, and a few strangers sat in the good seats.
Chen Shi put down the food and searched back and forth on the entire floor, his height was not high, only to the shoulders of those adults, and the whole floor was crowded with people, looking for people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Now it is enough to find someone with just a phone call, but at that time, only Chen Shi had a phone in his hand among the three children, and he had already made a decision at that time, if he really couldn't find it, he would go to the radio station or call the police directly.
"Hey, young man, are you looking for two little dolls who came with you?"
Just when Chen Shi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he had already unconsciously turned around the entire building, and returned to the dining table again, where an aunt with a child was sitting at the adjacent table.
"Yes, yes, I'm looking for my two sisters, have you seen where they went?" Chen Shi hurriedly asked as if he had caught a savior.
"Oh, I don't know much about that." The aunt frowned and recalled, as if she didn't know much about the specific situation: "I just remember that not long after the two of them sat down, the big one told the little one to go upstairs to play the slide, I thought that the upstairs is not a playground where the slide came from, anyway, the two dolls left......"
Chen Shi didn't even hear what his aunt said behind him and ran to the staircase, like crazy to go upstairs, just into the staircase, Chen Shi was hit by a person, just when he was about to say sorry, he found that he hit Chen Xi.
"Why are you here? What about Xiuxiu? ”
Seeing Chen Shi appear in front of him, Chen Xi's face turned pale, and he said hesitantly for a long time: "Xiuxiu said that she was going to find you, I didn't look at her, she took the elevator down......"
Chen Shi was so angry for a moment, she was just talking nonsense when she opened her eyes, she said that she was at the counter next to her before she went to order, why did she run downstairs, not to mention that Chen Xi said that Xiuxiu went down by elevator, so why did she appear in the stairwell.
Chen Shi ignored her and climbed straight to the seventh floor.
Compared with the sixth floor, there are many fewer people on the seventh floor, most of them are gyms, gymnasiums and the like, and unlike the stalls without facades below, although their doors are open, they do not have a panoramic view.
Chen Shi could only follow one by one, and in the strange eyes of those strange adults, he finally saw Xiuxiu's figure in a billiards club, Xiuxiu was sitting on the shoulders of a wild-looking, social-looking middle-aged man watching them play billiards.
"Brother! Brother! ”
Before Chen Shi walked up, Xiuxiu opened her hand to herself with a smile, and when Chen Shi took her off the person, she also looked at the middle-aged man with a smug face: "Look, I'll just say that my brother won't want me!" ”
The middle-aged man smiled helplessly and looked at Chen Shi: "You took your sisters out to play at such a young age, where did the adults go?" ”
Chen Shi was about to answer, but suddenly felt that something was not right, and from his words, he seemed to be able to provide more information, and hurriedly asked, "Sisters? Do you see my other sisters? ”
"yes, could it be that the big one is also lost?" The middle-aged man also confessed: "I went to the toilet in front of me, and I saw a little girl as big as you leading this little one, and told this sister to find a slide for you, you go to the house and wait for me first, and then leave, I brought this in." ”
It seems that it is really the same as he thought, Chen Shi's heart is half cold, he thinks that Xiuxiu is relatively young, and her parents are no longer there as soon as she was born, so she should be kind to her, but he didn't expect Chen Xi to have such a mind.
After thanking the middle-aged man, Chen Shi left the billiard room with Xiuxiu in his arms, and when he walked to the door, he saw Chen Xi looking down at himself, Chen Shi didn't speak again, he went home directly with Xiuxiu in his arms, and didn't look at Chen Xi again from beginning to end and didn't say a word to her.
……
It's been a month since this incident, and the atmosphere at home has been very depressed during this time, Chen Shi has been good to Xiuxiu as always, but he no longer cares too much about Chen Xi, and Chen Xi doesn't leave him much.
I thought she was stubborn or reflecting on her mistakes, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly appear in front of her like no one and offer to fly a kite.
Sure enough, Chen Shi found a clue when he was about to go out to check things, and the problem was on the kite that Chen Xi took out.
This kite was bought by Chen Shi, and he knew very well in his heart that there was a change. The shape of the butterfly has a plastic sheet under the wings, and the plastic sheet is very tight, and the middle seems to be filled with some unknown gas. In addition, there is also a problem with the kite string, and there is a handle where the string is wound, so even if the thread is finished, the handle can catch the string and retract it. But the handle that Chen Shi saw had been replaced with a thumb-thick wooden stick.
According to this structure, Chen Shi can probably guess what Chen Xi wants to do, for a teenager like her and herself, even if the string is finished, she can use her weight to drag the kite, but Xiuxiu is different, she is likely to be taken to the sky.
Chen Shi didn't think about it in great detail, most of it was just her own conjecture, if she wronged Chen Xi for no reason, she would only become more and more resentful of Xiuxiu, so no matter what, it was better to confirm it.
Chen Shi pretended not to see anything, handed the kite back to Chen Xi, and pulled Xiuxiu out of the door.
As expected, not long after she went out, Chen Xi couldn't wait to find an open space to fly a kite, and she thought that the play was seamless. When all the threads were released, one end of the thread was tightly tied to the stick, and the kite was already flying so high and high, Xiuxiu couldn't wait to follow her, begging Chen Xi to let her let her put it for a while.
"Come, brother will take you."
At the same moment when Xiuxiu grabbed the wooden stick, Chen Shi grabbed the wooden stick with Xiuxiu's hand, and he pretended that nothing had happened, just playing with Xiuxiu, while secretly observing Chen Xi's expression.
Chen Xi's smile froze on his face, and then he chased and ran around as if nothing had happened, Chen Shi could obviously feel the pull of the kite, he turned the wooden stick out of Xiuxiu's hand in four or two thousand catties, and took advantage of a gust of wind to blow, let go of his hand, and watched the kite go up to the sky with the wind.
"Brother, the kite flew, the kite flew!"
Xiuxiu didn't know if she was happy or something when she watched the kite fly, she pointed to the direction of the kite and ran and chased it, Chen Shi was also up to her, after all, this place is very close to home, and nothing should happen, Xiuxiu won't chase it when she sees the kite running away. And while I am taking advantage of this time, I still have some things to do.
