Wuhan, July, the weather is like a simmering oven.

Boubu's daughter, Pudding, is on summer vacation.

In February, my father traveled to Xinjiang. Although his mother has been hiding his situation, Pudding has a vague feeling that something may have happened to him.

In April, my mother also went to Xinjiang.

Pudding didn't know that her mother had gone to Lop Nur to look for her father, and she even thought that her father was dead and her mother was going to deal with the aftermath.

Before her mother left, Pudding had nightmares every night at boarding school, and once she dreamed that her father was lying in the desert, all sun-dried, very thin, and without human form. Mom lay on top of him, wailing and crying, and soon, Mom was almost dried, like a melting candle, and her body was rapidly changing shape......

Pudding was standing behind her mother, she was dying, and shouted, "Mom, run with me!"

However, my mother cried so sadly that she could not pull her out of her grief.

In this way, Mom lay down next to Dad......

Pudding woke up crying.

Usually, Pudding is quiet and rarely drags down her mother, but this time her mother wants to go to Xinjiang, and she doesn't stop her. It's just that she has a fever.

The school called Bubu, who rushed to the school, took Pudding out and took him to the hospital.

Boob stayed with Pudding for two days, and finally the fever subsided, and Pudding returned to boarding school. Bubu went to Xinjiang.

In a blink of an eye, my mother has been gone for more than two months, and neither my father nor my mother can get through on the phone.

The boarding school ended for summer vacation on July 1, and my grandparents brought the pudding home. In addition to my grandparents, there is also an uncle. He just fell in love and didn't see anyone every day.

Actually, Pudding is also in love, her boyfriend's name is Lao Xiu, who is also 14 years old, and he is also in boarding school, but he is in a different class from Pudding.

My grandparents didn't talk much about Pudding's parents, and whenever Pudding asked, they just said, "Come back." At night, they muttered in their bedrooms, as if they had something to say with a pudding on their backs, and occasionally sighed.

They are all retired and keep the pudding every day, except for the occasional TV watch, they spend most of their time picking, washing, and cooking vegetables.

Pudding doesn't have a good appetite.

She is planning a big event - to go to Xinjiang to find her parents.

That afternoon, Pudding sent a WeChat message to Lao Xiu in his room.

Pudding: I want to go to Xinjiang.

Lao Xiu: Who are you going with?

Pudding: Myself. I don't know what's wrong with my parents, I'm going to find them.

Lao Xiu: Do you have any money?

Pudding: Yes. It's just that my grandparents won't let me go.

Lao Xiu: Then don't go, it's too dangerous. Let's go to Hankow!

Pudding: Would you like to come with me to Xinjiang?

Hugh: I don't have that much money.

Pudding: I have. Can you get out?

Lao Xiu: It's definitely not okay to leave Wuhan, but it's okay to leave home.

Pudding: That's great, you come to my house first, and we'll meet.

Lao Xiu: Leave today?

Pudding: Let's go today!

Lao Xiu really took the bus to the community of Pudding's grandparents' house.

Pudding was on the third floor, she stood in front of the window, didn't dare to make a sound, and waved vigorously at Lao Xiu.

Lao Hugh ran over, stood on the lawn, and looked up.

Pudding threw down a big backpack and almost smashed it on Lao Xiu's head, Lao Xiu hugged his head and ran away, and the backpack fell on the lawn with a "boom". Lao Xiu hurriedly picked it up and returned to the road.

Pudding's brother-in-law was just about to drive back, and he rolled down the window and shouted, "What are you doing!" ”

Pudding hurriedly hid in the window.

Old Hugh didn't know Pudding's brother-in-law, he glanced at the other party indifferently, and then walked away.

Pudding's uncle poked his head out of the car window, looked at Lao Hugh's back, looked upstairs, and finally drove the car away.

Pudding is going downstairs.

Grandpa said, "Pudding, where are you going?" ”

Pudding said, "I'm going to buy some snacks. ”

Grandpa said, "I'll go with you later." ”

Pudding said, "No, I'll just go to the convenience store at the entrance of the community and come back immediately." ”

My grandfather said, "Then you have to cross the lane!" ”

Pudding said, "Grandpa! I'm a middle school student, so I can't even cross a lane! ”

Grandpa said, "Anyway, Grandpa is fine." ”

Pudding was anxious and angry: "You follow me if you're fine?" ”

Grandma poked her head out of the kitchen: "Pudding baby, what are you going to do?" Grandma is going with you? ”

Pudding said, "You two go, I won't go!" ”

With that, she turned around and went back to her room.

Grandma walked in and said with a smiling face: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, you go and come back quickly, pay attention to safety." ”

Pudding said, "I know! ”

After saying that, she ran out of the house and went downstairs.

Walking out of the building door, Pudding saw that his uncle had just parked the car and was walking towards the building door.

She quickly dodged and hid behind the bushes next to her. When her brother-in-law entered the building door, she came out and ran towards the gate of the community.

Lao Xiu was waiting for her at the gate of the community.

When he saw Pudding coming, he asked curiously, "What do you have in this backpack?" ”

Pudding said, "A quilt." ”

Lao Xiu opened his backpack, and it was really full of quilts.

He said, "What are you doing with the quilt?" ”

Pudding said: "I heard that there is a large temperature difference in Xinjiang. ”

Lao Xiu said: "Will we also experience survival in the wild? ”

Pudding said: "Who knows what will happen. ”

Lao Xiu took out a delicate wallet again, opened it, and inside was a stack of brand-new RMB, he said: "I didn't expect that my girlfriend is a big money!" ”

Pudding said, "Don't be poor, hurry up and buy a ticket." ”

Lao Xiu said: "I have to buy a box of Häagen-Dazs to satisfy my hunger." ”

Pudding said, "What a shame! ”

Hugh and Pudding got on the bus and headed to the train station.

Pudding said, "Your parents are definitely looking for you, you turn off your phone." ”

Lao Xiu said, "Yes. ”

Then, he quickly took out his phone and turned it off.

The two children were going to leave Wuhan and go to the far northwest, and he couldn't see that Lao Xiu was afraid, but he was very excited.

He asked Pudding, "Did you turn off your phone?" ”

Pudding said, "It's off." ”

Lao Xiu said: "Should we send a text message to our home to tell them that we are going to Xinjiang, and then turn off the phone?" Otherwise, they think we're missing, and we must die! ”

Pudding said, "You stupid, tell them now, they will definitely come to the train station to arrest us." ”

Lao Xiu said: "That's right. ”

Pudding said, "I'll tell them when I get on the train." ”

When the two children arrived at the train station, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were many people in the ticket hall and there was a long queue.

Lao Hugh and Pudding lined up for a while and found that many people took out their ID cards and waited to buy tickets.

Lao Xiu said to Pudding: "I need an ID card to buy a train ticket, what should I do?" ”

Pudding was also stunned.

Lao Xiu said, "Why don't we go back?" ”

Pudding gave him a blank look and said, "Do you regret it?" ”

Lao Xiu said: "Last time I skipped class with you and was called a parent, I didn't regret it!" ”

Pudding said, "Let's go on a coach. ”

Lao Xiu hurriedly took out his mobile phone and checked: "I can only go to Lanzhou to transfer ......"

Pudding said, "Then go to Lanzhou." ”

The two children took the bus and found the long-distance station to Lanzhou, but it was already completely dark and the ticket gates were all closed.

They looked at the bulletin board, and there was no long-distance bus to Lanzhou until 5 o'clock tomorrow morning.

They had a bite to eat near the long-distance station and then sat down on a bench in the waiting room.

Lao Xiu is no longer as excited as in the afternoon, he wants to play with his mobile phone, but he doesn't dare to turn it on. Pudding brought an iPad and gave it to him to play.

Time passed little by little, the night got deeper and deeper, and finally it was almost midnight.

Lao Xiu said: "My parents may call the police......"

Pudding said, "Do you want to go back?" ”

Lao Xiu said: "Now when I go back, they will have to beat me to death." You don't know how good my mom is! ”

Pudding said, "Then what do you say! ”

Lao Xiu muttered: "You won't be beaten when you go back." ”

Pudding said, "Why don't you have a showdown with them?" ”

Lao Xiu took out his mobile phone and wanted to open it several times, but finally he didn't have the courage and gave up.

Pudding said, "Why are you so afraid! Call them and say you're in the car. ”

Lao Xiu said: "As soon as I turn on the phone, without waiting to dial their number, their phone will definitely come in!" ”

Pudding said: "If they call the police, maybe the police will show up and take us away. ”

Lao Xiu thought about it, was ruthless, and turned on the phone.

Then, the two children kept staring at his phone.

The phone was quiet all the time, and no calls came in at all.

Lao Xiu looked at the pudding and said, "This is not normal." ”

Pudding said, "Do you think they still think of you as a five or six-year-old baby?" How tall are you! ”

Lao Xiu didn't speak, and hesitantly dialed his mother's phone.

"Toot-toot-toot-"

The call was finally picked up.

Lao Xiu said quickly: "Mom, I'm Lao Xiu!" I'm standing on top of 12 floors and calling you right now! If you promise not to beat me, I'll go home now!" If you don't agree, I'll jump off at once!" ”

Lao Xiu's mother's voice came from the microphone: "Don't beat you?" That's impossible! Jump, I'll count - 1! 2！ 3！ ……”

Lao Xiu turned off the phone after a while.

Later, the two children leaned against each other and fell asleep.

Pudding didn't sleep well, woke up a few times, and the sky finally dawned.

Lao Xiu was still asleep, the ticket gate had been opened, Pudding left Lao Xiu gently, walked to the ticket gate and bought a long-distance ticket to Lanzhou, then glanced back at him, and walked to the ticket gate.

After getting in the car, she sent a text message to Lao Xiu: Lao Xiu, I went alone, you go home.

Then I turned off my phone again.

Pudding didn't sleep well last night, and after the car started, it staggered, and she was in a coma. The carriage was filled with the smell of hard-boiled eggs, which made her sick for a while.

In the evening, she followed the passengers on the long-distance bus, hurriedly ate a bowl of instant noodles in a service area in Shaanxi, and fell asleep after getting on the bus. It was her first time on a long-distance bus, and her body felt like it was falling apart.

When she woke up again, she found the coach leaving the highway and parked beside a potholed dirt road, with its headlights on and no passing cars in sight. It was pitch black on both sides, and I didn't know if it was the crops or the grass.

The driver was repairing the car, and many passengers were complaining in low voices.

At this time, it was already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and listening to the passengers' discussions, this place had entered the border of Gansu, and there was only an hour away from Lanzhou. There was a section of the highway under construction, and the long-distance bus had to make a detour, but it broke down on this dirt road. In a short period of time, it seems that the car is difficult to repair.

Some passengers got off the bus to go to the event.

Pudding also got out of the car and slowly walked to the back of the long bus and cried silently.

Crying and crying, she heard a familiar and distant voice: "Pudding, I'm my mother......"
