The sky was gray and the surrounding scenery was shrouded in haze, and although it was broad daylight, the visibility was low and oppressive.

In such weather, a middle-aged man walked on a quiet path, he was wearing a black jacket and dark jeans, he was walking towards the fog at this time, his steps were a little staggering, it was because of the impact and injury to his body and mind caused by a traffic accident just now, but at this time he seemed very anxious, because his daughter was missing??????

This middle-aged man's name is Li Xuan, in his 40s, he opened a small restaurant in the city, he can be regarded as a small boss, and his life is good, unfortunately, his wife died due to a traffic accident, and only he and the daughter born to him and his wife are left in this beautiful family.

The daughter's name is "Li Xiaoying", the two of them are dependent on each other, Li Xuan loves Xiaoying very much, has spoiled her since she was a child, and worked hard to make money for her and bring her a comfortable life.

Unconsciously, Li Xuan felt that he was busy, but neglected the time with his daughter, in order to enhance the relationship between the father and daughter, he decided to drive his own car to take Xiaoying to an outing, relax and feel the beauty of nature.

However, this pleasant excursion did not go well, and his car was involved in a traffic accident and accidentally hit a roadside safety guard, and the back of the car was completely damaged.

The reason for this result was because it was a sharp turn, originally Li Xuan was driving on the road, he looked at Xiao Ying, who was sleeping because of exhaustion, and smiled, when he turned his eyes to look ahead, a black shadow suddenly rushed out on the road, making Li Xuan confused.

Although he turned the steering wheel in time to bend and avoid a tragedy, the car broke away from the owner's control, but with the neighing of the tires, it slid sideways and collided with the safety guardrail, and he immediately fainted.

When Li Xuan woke up, he felt a slight pain in his head, sat in the car that had broken down and was in a daze for a while, suddenly came back to his senses, and then opened the car door and jumped out.

"Xiao Ying!" "Xiao Ying!" He desperately shouted his daughter's name, his voice echoed in the empty road, and when Li Xuan came back to his senses, he immediately found that his daughter Xiaoying was not by his side, and he looked very nervous.

Looking at the haze in front of him, Li Xuan was impatient, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead, and found that there was still blood on his arm, although it was only a little bruised, Li Xuan thought to himself, could it be that during the time when he passed out, Xiao Ying thought that her father was seriously injured and ran out to find other people to help?

Although Xiao Ying is only eight years old this year, she is a very smart and sensible child, and she has never let Li Xuan worry about it. If it is really as Li Xuan thinks, this is really a bit nonsense.

Li Xuan's worries were not only not relieved by Xiao Ying's intelligence, but even heavier, he had read many reports on the news, now many traffickers often abduct and sell children, and some children have been missing for a long time without news, in such an environment, Li Xuan easily associated these things with Xiao Ying.

Those inhumane human traffickers lurk in the shadows of this society like the devil who stretches out his poisonous hand to children. In such a wilderness, a girl walks alone on the road, if she meets such a person, the consequences are unimaginable.

Thinking like this, Li Xuan stepped up his pace and walked towards the dense fog, in order to find his daughter as soon as possible??????

"Xiao Ying!"

Li Xuan shouted his daughter's name while looking around, and the fog of the dense fog was like a sea of clouds in the sky falling directly to the ground, completely enveloping the whole world.

He has seen a lot of foggy days, but such foggy days make him feel abnormal, Li Xuan has never heard of such a strange foggy weather near this scenic spot that makes people travel leisurely, the visibility of this fog is too low, and the scene in front of him is like the water has evaporated and filled the air.

Li Xuan wondered in his heart, a good outing became like this, the original plan was to leisurely walk in the forest with his daughter, sit on the edge of the lake and enjoy the fun of fishing, and enjoy the taste of nature together......

When she was in the car, Xiao Ying seemed very excited, as if she was feeling restless because of the first short trip, she changed her usual taciturn appearance and kept talking, which surprised Li Xuan herself.

"I'm going to throw a rope to catch a cow, make a roasted whole cow, make a roasted whole cow and give it to my father!" Xiao Ying said innocently;

"But what about Daddy's desire to eat fish? Go to the lake and catch a big fish, you'll be with your dad, right? Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Yes, of course, but the little fish are so pitiful, you have to let them go when you catch them." Xiao Ying blinked a pair of childish eyes as she spoke;

After Li Xuan heard this, he asked, "Isn't the cow worthy of sympathy?" ”

Xiao Ying shook her head after hearing this, "The cow has a pair of sharp horns, his eyes are still so scary, he chews and swallows when he eats, and he urinates everywhere, which is not cute at all." ”

This kind of child's standard of likes and dislikes suddenly made Li Xuan laugh, Xiao Ying's favorite food is fried beef, so naturally she won't take any special care of the cow.

After a while, Xiao Ying's face showed a hint of melancholy, but she suddenly stopped talking and became silent again.

Li Xuan felt strange, and immediately glanced at her, Xiao Ying was also looking at him, and said softly, "Dad, thank you." Li Xuan was also stunned and asked:

"Why say thank you?"

Xiaoying said very sensibly: "Didn't Dad rest to accommodate me, the work of the restaurant was still so busy......"

"Don't worry so much, Dad won't delay work because of this, people often work and occasionally need to take a break, Dad makes money to take care of you," Li Xuan said while reaching out and touching her head.

"But...... I heard the aunt in the store say that the business of the restaurant has not been good lately, right? ”

"Did Aunt Fang say that? That Aunt Fang is only responsible for the daily cleaning of the store, how can she know whether the business is good or not, don't listen to her nonsense, and Dad has saved enough money, even if he doesn't run a restaurant, he can take care of you, the most important thing for Dad now is not business, but to be able to stay with you more Xiaoying, so it is enough. Li Xuan replied with a smile.

"Hmm."

Although Xiao Ying nodded slightly, the smile still didn't immediately return to her face.

Li Xuan silently said "I'm sorry" in his heart, when his wife left him, Xiao Ying was not long after she was born, and he brought Xiao Ying up alone.

Li Xuan also started his own business not long ago, the business of the restaurant was very bleak at that time, and the pressure was very high, except for the most basic things such as eating and picking up and dropping off from school, Li Xuan did not spend too much time on Xiaoying.

Most of his time is spent on restaurant management, he has almost no personal space, he is very busy, and Xiaoying has known that her father is working hard for herself since she was sensible, so the seeds of understanding and caring for others have been planted in that young heart.

Sometimes when it comes to festivals, other children are a little disappointed when their parents take them to the park to play, but even so, she endures it alone without complaining.

Now that things in business have stabilized, this time Li Xuan has also made up his mind to take Xiaoying outside to play, which can also enhance the relationship between father and daughter.

Faced with the first trip, although Xiao Ying was happy, she mistakenly thought that her father had committed his own business for herself, so her mood suddenly dimmed. Although Li Xuan tried his best to explain, it had no effect.

Li Xuan's heart also felt deeply guilty because he had not been able to fulfill his responsibilities as a parent, and a trip as compensation was caused by an accident due to his own negligence, which put his precious daughter Xiaoying in danger.

If Xiao Ying really encounters a bad person, or something unexpected happens, and he causes an irreparable result, then he regrets it.

"Xiao Ying! Where are you? ”

Li Xuan shouted as he ran along the highway for a while before arriving near the scenic spot. Although it is a casual sightseeing spot, there are no people to see along the way, and I wonder if it is because of the fog that makes the visibility low, and you can't see the relationship in the distance.

However, Li Xuan had been running for so long, but he had not seen a single pedestrian, nor a passing vehicle, and the surroundings seemed very quiet, so quiet that it was as if the whole world had stopped.

Although it was still afternoon, it felt like it was already midnight, and the silence was as terrifying as an empty ghost town.

Even so, at this time, Li Xuan was only thinking about his daughter, and these details were also ignored, and he did not have any doubts about it.

After walking for a while, Li Xuan found that the surroundings were still empty, so it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, he immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket, which was an older mobile phone, and then dialed "110", intending to seek help from the police, after the phone was connected, a voice came from the other end: "Hello, 110 Report Center..." Li Xuan immediately said after hearing the voice: "I had a car accident, my daughter is lost, I need help, please arrange someone to come and help!" ”

The other person replied, "Where are you now?" ”

Li Xuan said: "It's very foggy here, and I can't see it clearly, it should be on the national highway, near the Laiyang Scenic Area!" At this time, I don't know what the reason is, as soon as he finished speaking, there were many noises on the phone, as if it had been disturbed by something, the sound was intermittent, and the conversation was interrupted after a while, Li Xuan didn't know if the other party heard it clearly, and called again, however, no matter how he called, he couldn't get through, and at first glance, there was no signal on the phone, and there was no signal at all here, which was terrible.

"What the hell is this place, there's not even a signal!"

Li Xuan hung up his phone in frustration, it seems that now he can only go to the neighborhood to find someone to help, he is completely unfamiliar with the road here, and it is impossible to find his daughter here alone.

Li Xuan put away his mobile phone, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his chest pocket, and immediately lit them.

As he smoked, he thought that if only there was someone he could ask for directions, but now there was not even a ghost around, and it was basically the same difficulty as finding his daughter.

"Hey, is there anyone?"

Li Xuan shouted at the road, looking for passers-by in such a thick fog, and there was still silence in response to him.

However, at this moment, a girl's weird laughter came from not far away, ~hee-hee~hee-hee~, he immediately followed the sound, and saw a little pink object moving under a big tree not far away, although his vision was not very clear, but he could tell that it was the color of the clothes, there must be someone over there, so he immediately threw away the cigarette and ran in that direction, also shouting as he ran:

"Hey, wait!"

Li Xuan shouted and chased after him, just when the outline gradually became clear, the short figure swayed, and ran away in an instant, Li Xuan felt that the back was a bit similar to Xiao Ying, and she was also wearing a pink coat today.

"Xiao Ying...... Is it Xiaoying? I'm Daddy! ”

The girl in the pink coat didn't answer, just left her back to Li Xuan and continued to walk into the distance.

Seeing this, Li Xuan immediately chased after her, but it was strange that with Li Xuan's speed, he couldn't catch up with her anyway.

"Wait, wait!" Li Xuan continued to shout as he ran, wondering if he had recognized the wrong person. If it's a strange girl, chasing others like this, people will think of themselves as bad people with bad intentions, right?

Despite this, Li Xuan still chased after him, he would not be at ease until he saw with his own eyes whether the girl was Xiaoying or not, and even if he recognized the wrong person, he could at least ask for directions.

Li Xuan chased all the way, and he didn't know the direction, the girl was like his signpost, and unconsciously, he ran with the girl for a while.

He ran through an intersection, where there was a dilapidated wooden sign with the words "Laixiali" written on it, Li Xuan didn't pay much attention to it, and followed the girl's figure through here, and the girl seemed to be guiding Li Xuan.

After a while, the figure of the girl suddenly disappeared at the corner of the woods, and after Li Xuan came here, he looked around and found that he followed the figure of the girl and came to a very strange place, where there were many dilapidated buildings, but it looked like it was uninhabited.

"Is it a new attraction in the tourist area" Li Xuan thought so, he didn't care so much now, although he couldn't see the girl's back anymore, but the girl disappeared in front of the door beside him, and now he can only enter here to check.

There was a dilapidated wooden door in front of him, he pushed it gently, squeaked, the door opened, and after pushing the door open, Li Xuan saw a very narrow passage, pitch black, like a dead end.

Darkness always makes people feel inexplicably afraid, Li Xuan is looking for a woman, and he can't care about it so much, so he turned on the lighter in his hand and began to walk forward, walking and walking, and finally at the end of this passage, he found a pool of blood scattered on the ground, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Could it be that there is something going on here?" Thinking like this, he was even more worried about Xiaoying's safety, he looked around, found nothing abnormal, and did not see any trace of the girl.

Li Xuan raised his vigilance, feeling that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so he immediately turned back.

However, as he walked towards the wooden door, suddenly some strange sounds sounded in his head, making his head feel an unusual pain, and he felt something seem to emerge in the darkness.

At this moment, countless broken hands suddenly stretched out from the wall behind him and tried to grab him, and he immediately ran out desperately when he saw it, he didn't quite believe his eyes.

Finally, he rushed forward with all his might, and the whole person slammed directly into the wooden door, with a snap, and rushed outside with the door, Li Xuan instinctively looked back due to fear, and he found that those "hands" had disappeared, but the passage was still so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled, that he had seen a hallucination, after all, the darkness would cause all kinds of fear, and he would not run into it again, and then got up and went back the way he came. ，

However, as he walked, he found a terrible problem, the way he had come seemed to have disappeared, and he walked for so long and still returned to the same place, he did not know what had happened.

Now he can't go back the way he came, the only way he can go is to go in the opposite direction, in the direction of those towering unfamiliar buildings, and now he can't care so much???????
