Chapter 5 Searching for Food
The security guard's tone was not very good, cold and full of wariness.
Because of the coldness and hardness, his voice also seemed a little weird.
But I didn't feel wary because he was human, and it was normal for the security guards who patrolled the night to have such a tone.
So, I explained to him that I was a resident here, which floor and which room I lived in.
The security guard looked at me with an indescribable and inexplicable look in his eyes, and then turned around and left.
"Alas, big brother security, this kid?" Even if I feel safe, I start to feel that something is wrong with this security guard, how can I put down the child and turn around and leave?
"Just so you can help take care of the child, I'll go find his parents." The security guard said without looking back.
This statement also makes sense, and I am relieved. Anyway, now that Nanfeng hasn't come back, it's understandable for me to take a look at this child for the time being, didn't I think this child was pitiful just now, so I said more?
The security guard is gone, and there's no way I'm going to leave this kid behind. So he turned around, looked at the child, and smiled as kindly as possible: "Little brother, why are you still outside so late?" What about Mom and Dad? ”
I don't have much experience with children, so I can only ask with such concern, but I didn't expect such a young child to answer me logically.
For his safety, just stay here with him. But I didn't expect that this child would neither cry nor make trouble about my question, but look at me calmer than me, point to the swing next to me, and say to me, "Sister sit." ”
What is the reaction? It was not the reaction I expected, but it was like he was comforting me.
However, this child was born with red lips and white teeth, bright eyes, clean and tidy clothes, and the appearance of a little adult, which is quite cute. I couldn't help but laugh and sat down on the swing beside him.
The two of us were swinging one after the other, after all, it was still a winter night, and the wind tonight was still deeply cool, if not the kind of cold to the bone.
I saw that the child was not wearing a thick coat, a red coat and a pair of black pants, so I couldn't help but ask him, "Little brother, are you cold?" Otherwise, you sit here obediently, and my sister will go up and get a dress for you. ”
As I spoke, I realized that the child's red coat was a strange color, and the red was too dazzling. There is also an inexplicable sheen that looks like the color of blood.
I didn't understand why I had this thought, but at this moment, a small hand suddenly grabbed my sleeve, and it was quite powerful. When I looked back, wasn't it this little boy who grabbed me?
"Sister, don't go. I'm not cold, I'm just a little hungry. As he spoke, he looked at me, opened his mouth, and his teeth were white.
My heart softened, after all, I was a child, no matter how much I behaved like a little adult, I was helpless at this time.
So, I touched his head and said, "Otherwise, you can go to my sister's house later, and my sister will cook you something to eat?" ”
He looked at me, shook his head, and said, "I don't eat ordinary things. After eating, he didn't grow big. I only eat what I have at home. ”
This is so strange, whose child is so pampered? But he didn't behave like a squeamish look, but like a little adult.
I was a little curious, and then I asked him, "Is your home here?" Do you remember which building it was in? If you remember, my sister will call a security guard uncle to accompany you to the family later. ”
After all, today's children are precious in the eyes of their parents, and if others give them anything casually, it happens that the child is not adaptable, does not like it, and has a small problem, it will become an unshirkable responsibility. To be on the safe side, the best way is to find his family, and even if you can't find it, the child is hungry, so you can only ask him what he usually eats, but don't make a mistake.
Just as I was about to ask him what he usually eats, the child said to himself: "My home is not here, I don't have a home." I'm here to find something to eat because I feel like there's something good to eat. ”
"Huh?" No matter how you hear this, it feels a little strange, but when you think about it carefully, you think, isn't this what makes this child pitiful? He said that if there is no home, it should be that his parents quarreled, which would bring great psychological trauma to the child.
Isn't it because their parents quarrel that many children run away from home? As for what he said about food here, it should be normal for him to come looking for food, after all, this is a high-end community, and the people here are more qualified, so they should not beat and scold children at will, and they will be enthusiastic to ask, and they will also give children a little food and drink.
That's why he said that.
Thinking about it, I also felt that this child was really pitiful, so I couldn't help but ask him: "Little brother, what do you usually eat?" Sister will do it for you. ”
He looked at me, surprisingly stopped talking, but suddenly grabbed my hand, as if to put my hand on his face, and then said, "I usually eat ......"
At this moment, a screeching mobile phone rang from my pocket, and the eight speakers of the copycat machine were particularly harsh in this quiet community. Even I couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously withdrew my hand and took out the phone from my pocket.
Maybe the voice of the knock-off machine was too loud, and it also attracted the attention of the security guard over there, and someone shouted from afar: "What person?" Play music at night! The community is not allowed! ”
With this voice, several more footsteps sounded, and it should be that the security guards who were patrolling the night heard the movement and hurried over.
I was so helpless that I could only look at the kid apologetically and pick up the phone. Before he could speak, Nanfeng's drunken voice came from the phone: "Xiaoshuang?" Is it Xiaoshuang? I suddenly feel very worried about you. I've got to give you a call, hehehehe. ”
I was speechless, the south wind seemed to be so drunk that even the laughter was intermittent.
I had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I think you're suspicious of what I said, right?" Are you almost there? Ah Zhong said that you refused to let him send you home, and wanted me to pick you up in the community, and I was already waiting for you downstairs. How long will it take you to get there? ”
"I'm almost there, when did this dead Ah Zhong call you? You should honestly stay at home! Why do you have to come downstairs in the middle of the night to pick me up? You are a troublesome life, like me, gods and ghosts do not invade, and there are no taboos. There's no problem for me to go back alone, you go upstairs. Nanfeng was on the other end of the phone, his tongue was big, and his speech was slurred.
But I can roughly hear what she is saying, it turns out that she is really worried about me, I am moved, but I decided to ignore this girl's words, she is so drunk, how can I rest assured that she will go home alone? Even if the security guards in this neighborhood are very good.
So I said, "Okay, okay, I got it." He hung up.
The south wind is coming, I have to rush to the gate of the community to pick her up, but I can't rest assured that this child can't be relieved, I thought, otherwise I will take him for the time being, and go to the gate of the community to pick up the south wind, right?
Thinking so, I turned around and was about to say a word to the little brother, only to find that only the swing was swinging, and the child was gone.
I panicked, couldn't help but look around, and just wanted to shout a few words, but found a group of three security guards walking towards me.
Seeing that I was a girl, in pajamas and a coat, standing here, the attitude of the security guard was much better. One of the older speakers said, "Little girl, why are you playing music in the yard when you are not at home at night?" ”
Because I was worried about the child, I could only quickly explain: "I'm here to pick up my friend, she lives here, and it's not safe to go into the community alone after drinking." I didn't put on any music, it was my ...... It's my phone ringing. ”
As I spoke, I was a little embarrassed to a few security guards and shook the golden copycat machine in my hand.
I'm really embarrassed, but now even the aunt who sweeps the floor uses a smartphone, right?
When those security guards saw my copycat machine, they were a little puzzled, after all, how could a person who lives in such a community hold such a mobile phone? But this kind of thing is not easy to ask, the elderly security guard said enthusiastically: "You are also a little girl, and you may not be safe in the middle of the night." Why don't I accompany you to pick up your friends? ”
Naturally, I would not refuse such a suggestion, but I was anxious about the child, so I said to the security guard, "Didn't you see a little child just now?" Dressed in red, it seems that he has fallen into our community. I also talked to him a few times, he said he was hungry, and as soon as I answered the phone, he ran away. ”
As soon as I said this, the three security guards all had confused expressions on their faces, and the older one said to me, "Are there any children?" We've been around three times tonight, and we haven't seen any children in red. ”
I sighed helplessly, and the night patrol was only a cursory walk around the community, and I didn't necessarily find the child, so I said to them: "There is really a child, not only I have seen it, but even your colleagues have seen it." I just passed by here, and I only stopped when I saw your colleague coaxing that kid. ”
My words again caused the three security guards to look at each other, and one of them asked uncertainly, "Our colleague?" What about others? ”
"He said to find out where the child's parents were, and he left, and gave the child to me. Don't ask, look for it, a little kid is shaking around here in the middle of the night, do you really think there won't be an accident? And his stomach was still hungry. ”
I said in a hurry, but as soon as I finished speaking, one of the security guards wanted to say something, but at this moment, a bright light lit up at the entrance of the community, accompanied by the sound of cars driving in.
I didn't want to ramble with the security guards, so I just said, "Anyway, you guys go and look for it, I'll pick up my friend first, my friend is back." ”
