Chapter 13: One of the Missing Boys

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on a corner of the alleyway, projecting a kind of quiet light.

A boy and a girl ran merrily from the other end of the alleyway, and a burst of laughter like silver bells followed.

The girl's voice: "Xiaojie, you dare to steal my candy." ”

The boy's voice: "Sister, you come to chase me, catch up with me and I'll give you candy." ”

The girl's laughter: "You run so fast, how can I catch up with you?" ”

The girl still walked unhurriedly, and did not look like she was going to chase the boy.

The boy's mischievous voice: "Then there is no way, I am almost finished eating the sugar, if you don't have another one." ”

He leaned against the corner of the wall, the setting sun shining through the clouds into the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Holding his hand out of the sunlight, he looked at the boys and girls running towards him.

It's as if I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it.

Recently, I've always been like this, and some inexplicable images have always popped up in my mind, as if I was dreaming, as if something had happened in my previous life.

It bothered him from time to time.

The boy walked up to him and asked with concern, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Is it uncomfortable? ”

He took his hand away, his face pale. He didn't know what was wrong with him.

The boy stretched out his right hand, and there was a candy in his palm.

"Uncle, you eat sugar. My grandma was like that, she ate a candy when she was not feeling well. ”

He shook his head.

"Thank you, little friend, uncle doesn't eat sugar, uncle is just a little dizzy. But there is a lot of sugar in my uncle's house, do you like to eat it? Go with your uncle to get it, and his uncle's house is over there. ”

He pointed to the end of the alley, where there was a building.

The boy's red and simple face was obviously a little tempted.

"I ......"

The boy hesitated, and the little girl behind him caught up, carrying a bottle of soy sauce in her hand.

"Xiaojie, what are you doing?"

"Sister, this uncle is a little uncomfortable. Shall we send him home, his house is over there. ”

Such a cunning little fellow, he never mentions candy.

The girl looked like she was six or seven years old, and looked at him with a wary expression.

"Uncle, I see that you have cold sweat on your forehead, there is a clinic at the entrance of the alley, otherwise, let's accompany you to that clinic to have a look!"

He thought to himself, this is a clever little girl.

The little boy is not very precautionary, but he is still a cunning guy.

"Sister, uncle is just dizzy, just like grandma, just eat some sugar, uncle has a lot of sugar at home, let's send him home to eat some sugar!"

He chimed in: "Yes, uncle is just a little hypoglycemic, just go home and eat something." Thank you, little brother, I have a lot of White Rabbit toffee at home, do you like to eat it? ”

The little boy became more and more excited: "I love to eat, I love to eat, I love to eat White Rabbit toffee." ”

His pale face also became excited: "Then what are you waiting for, come with me!" ”

The boy didn't leave, but turned to look at his sister.

"Sister, let's go, just go and come back."

The girl was still wary and stubborn.

"Xiaojie, grandma asked us to go back to eat after buying candy. If you don't go back, grandma will be in a hurry. ”

The boy named Xiaojie still didn't want to give up: "Sister, I really want to eat White Rabbit toffee." Besides, Uncle really looks weak. ”

He looked at the girl expectantly.

The girl pursed her lips with some hesitation. After a few seconds, her eyes lit up.

"Uncle, my house is over there, it's very close, why don't you go with us, my grandma is at home, she will give you some sugar water, it will be better."

The girl was obviously not very talkative, and he still aimed at the boy.

"Little brother, uncle is fine, take a break and go back. It's you, hurry up and go home, don't let grandma wait in a hurry. ”

The boy's face was full of disappointment, and he obviously didn't want to give up the temptation of the White Rabbit toffee.

His little face was apple-colored with excitement.

"Sister, don't you have any love at all? Uncle looks so uncomfortable, what if something happens to him, let's send him back, right? ”

The girl hesitated.

"This ......"

The boy tugged at the girl's sleeve: "Sister, you just do good deeds." ”

The sister bit her lip again, and finally made up her mind.

"Alright! Uncle, we only send it to your door, don't go in. ”

He was excited, although the process was a little difficult, but the result was good, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his white face.

"Okay, thank you for your caring brothers and sisters, you are such good children."

As soon as he turned around, a man came from the other side of the alley.

"Xiaojie, Xiaofei......"

The girl looked back: "Grandma, here we are." ”

Grandma's voice was dissatisfied: "Let you buy a soy sauce, I've been there for so long, and grandma's dishes are still waiting for the soy sauce to go to the pot." ”

The boy's lively voice rang out.

"Grandma, this uncle is a little uncomfortable and we want to send him home. His house is in ......."

The boy did not finish his sentence, for as he turned his head, he noticed that the uncle had disappeared for some time.

He looked to the other side of the alley, and the figure of the tall, thin man had turned the corner of the alley, leaving only a corner of his clothes.

Grandma: "Xiaojie, what are you talking about, hurry up and go home with us." ”

Xiao Jie seemed a little unwilling, ran back two steps, and the figure disappeared completely.

He said to himself, "Why did my uncle go by himself?" ”

…………

It had been a long time since the night fell, and he wandered in the night, and seemed to be a little unable to recognize himself.

It's been a day in the city, and I've never felt so uncomfortable today, as if an addict had become addicted, desperate to find a way out.

He had been standing in front of this window for a long time, and the voice of a woman scolding could be heard from inside, and he could hear that there was a schoolboy in her house, and she was training this child.

"The unit test only scored 90 points, and the teacher said, you have regressed several places this time, what are you doing all day long?"

I didn't hear the child's voice during the whole process, it was the woman's sharp voice that kept reprimanding.

"Take a look, you actually did something wrong with such a simple question, can you not be so sloppy? You lost five points on this question, do you think you should? Are you worthy of me and your father, and worthy of this family? ”

The sound of a child sobbing could be faintly heard.

The woman still doesn't give up, she still chatters.

Under the tree in front of the window, he listened diligently to the movement, and a voice in his heart shouted.

Kid, can you take it? Get out of there, get out of the noise landlord and seek a quiet place!

The phone rang inappropriately, and recently this assistant has been getting more and more disagreeable, asking her not to call herself all day long if she has something to do, but she doesn't listen.

He wondered if he had to teach her a lesson.

Ignoring the assistant's phone, he turned around.

Unexpectedly, the door on the first floor opened, and the little boy walked out with a dejected expression.

Leaning silently against the base of the wall, silent as snow.

He walked towards the boy......
