Chapter XI
In addition to being afraid, Shu Ning thought a lot in his heart, and his first thought was to go home to find his father to know what was going on, but when he thought of the open door, he vetoed the decision to go home at the moment, his father definitely didn't know about it, how could such an honest person kidnap a child?
What's more, the granary is now not only used by their family, but must be someone else......
She always thought of the way the child looked at her just now, and she wanted to go in and see it first.
After standing outside for a long time, Shu Ning had a lot of snowflakes on her head and body, and she finally decided to go back and take a look.
Walking back to the door of the granary, Shu Ning paid attention to the surroundings, there were no people, because the granary was halfway up the mountainside, a little away from everyone's house, and it was snowing heavily at this time, and there was no one around except her.
She held the flashlight tightly in her hand and pushed open the door of the granary and walked in again, she cautiously, held her breath, and walked step by step to the cubicle, where there was a child tied there, she did not know it, and now she knew in her heart that it must be a child from the city......
Only children from the city are worth being kidnapped.
Shu Ning walked into the cubicle, the light of the flashlight shone on the child's body, and he saw that the visitor immediately struggled excitedly, his mouth was gagged with a cloth, and he could not speak, only let out a low whimper.
Shu Ning looked at the child's eyes, slowly squatted down, and whispered, "Don't scream, I'll untie it for you, okay?" ”
In the light of the flashlight, she could see the child's face with a look of pain and joy, his eyes were dark, and he looked at her without blinking, nodding his head busily.
Shuning stretched out his hand, slowly reached to the child's mouth, pulled the cloth stuffed in his mouth, and gently pulled the cloth off.
The child's mouth was long, and his lips were dry and cracked, and it took a long time to slowly close them, and the tears fell silently, but they were menacing, and the big ones smashed to the ground, splashing tiny dust, which was clearly visible in the light.
"You, don't cry......" Shu Ning saw him crying, and didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only comfort him in a soft voice, "I will save you out." ”
The child looked up at her and muttered, "It's so cold......"
He had never been so cold in his life, staying in such a dark place, his hands and feet were tied and he couldn't move, and he had a foul-smelling towel stuffed in his mouth.
"You ......" Shu Ning couldn't help but touch his hand, and found that it was extremely cold, so startled that she quickly stretched out her hand back, and she immediately went to untie the rope on his body, but found that she couldn't untie it.
The child's tears flowed even more fiercely, and when Shu Ning saw it, he hurriedly said, "You wait, I will definitely think of a way." ”
She ran out in a bit of a hurry to find someone to help, and after a while she ran back, picked up the small shovel that had just been thrown on the ground, and squatted next to the child and pulled the rope on his body little by little.
said in his mouth: "Don't be afraid, this will be worn out soon, the teacher has taught in class, and we can use sharp and sharp things to break the rope that we can't untie, you just wait, just wait......"
"But I'm so cold......," the child was still crying, sobbing and choking, as if he was about to die.
Shu Ning watched the child curl up, trembling slightly, and looked at the newly bought padded jacket on his body, took it off without saying a word, and covered him.
She said, "Don't cry, save some strength, this is my new padded jacket, you can't get me dirty, I won't save you if it gets dirty......"
The child listened to the words and looked up at her, with tears streaming down his dirty face, perhaps feeling some warmth on his body, or he was afraid that Shuning would really not save him, the child finally stopped crying and looked at Shuning with a pair of tearful eyes.
The latter, who was softened by his eyes, took out his handkerchief and helped him wipe the tears from his face, and then continued to sharpen the rope.
Neither of them spoke, and it was quiet in the granary, except for the sound of Shuning grinding the rope, and after about half an hour, the rope was finally broken by her.
Shu Ning's nerves, which had been tense, finally relaxed, and as soon as he relaxed, he realized that it was really cold.
She didn't hesitate, and immediately untied the rope from the child's body, and then put the rope and the small shovel in bags and prepared to take them out, this was her family's granary, she didn't know who tied the child here, but this happened here, and their family couldn't escape.
So she must get the child out, and only when she rescues them can she make it clear.
The child's restraints were finally loosened, and he was about to get up, but he couldn't get up after a few struggles.
Seeing this, Shuning hurriedly went to help him, but found that he couldn't stand at all, so she could only support him hard.
"Haven't you eaten in a long time?" Shuning asked him.
The child nodded weakly, but did not say that he was hungry.
He leaned on Shuning and looked much shorter than her, his body was constantly shaking, and the white coat he was wearing reached his knees, which looked much warmer than Shuning's padded jacket, but he still put his hand into Shuning's padded jacket and wrapped himself tightly, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"I'll carry you out."
Shu Ning squatted down and helped the child to his back and carried it well, only to find that it was not very heavy after putting it on his back, and the child should be in his teens.
She carried the child out of the cubicle slowly, and before she left, she had closed the door, just as she had done before she came, and the door to the granary was locked as well.
Walking outside, Shu Ning found that it was slowly getting dark, and it was not as bright as before she came.
She didn't know how long she had been in there, but she knew she had to get home before dark.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth were white, and Shuning slowly walked down the mountain with the child on his back and walked in the direction of home.
Not long after walking, Shuning saw a person sneakily walking towards this side at the foot of the mountain in the distance, but Shuning didn't see the person's appearance clearly when she was too far away, and she guessed that it might be the person who kidnapped the child.
Thinking of this, Shuning sped up and walked to the other side of the path, which led directly to her home, which was opened up by her grandparents, because the road was relatively rugged and narrow, Shuning and her father generally did not go.
But today, she had to go.
Hiding behind a tree, Shuning shook the person on his back and asked him, "Look, is that the person who tied you up?" ”
The man on his back moved, looked up into the distance, and finally lowered his head and whispered, "I don't know." ”
He woke up to find himself tied up in that dark and cold place, and he had no idea who had kidnapped him.
"Okay, you hold me tight, let's go first, and I'll call the police when I get home."
"Hmm." The child tightened her neck and clung to her back.
Shu Ning didn't have an umbrella on her back, and she was afraid that the child wouldn't be able to hold her tightly if she had an umbrella, so the umbrella was put in the bag together.
The study was still down, and after walking for a while, the two of them were covered with snowflakes, and it was getting darker and darker, and Shuning was a little tired from walking, but he didn't dare to rest.
I was afraid that the person would chase after the person who entered the granary and found that the child was gone, her steps became heavier and heavier, and her body did not bring much heat because of walking, and it was getting colder and colder in the cold wind.
I don't know how long it took, but she finally saw the warm yellow light from her house not far away, and said excitedly, "It's almost there." ”
But the person behind her didn't react, Shu Ning screamed a few more times, but there was still no response, she couldn't help but panic, and she walked faster and faster.
Before it got completely dark, Shuning carried the child to the house, and because her house was relatively back, she went to the back door of the house, so no one saw her.
Shuning carried the child to his room without alarming his father.
She placed the child in the only chair in her room, and patted him on the face, and found that he was only asleep, with long eyelashes on his white face.
Under the light, Shu Ning found that this child was very good-looking, although his face was a little dirty, but it couldn't hide his delicate and good-looking, because of his long hair, she almost thought he was a girl.
The child shrunk on the chair, sleeping uncomfortably, still muttering cold in his mouth, no way, Shu Ning could only take off his coat, and whether it was dirty or not directly stuffed into his own quilt and covered him tightly.
After closing the door of the room, Shuning went out to look for his father, only to find that his father was not in his room.
Although she didn't think much of it, she began to prepare dinner, the child must have not eaten for several days, and she grabbed two more handfuls of rice when she thought of it.
I heard that they had returned to the city two days ago, and it is estimated that he had been kidnapped there since then, but there was still one person? She obviously heard about two young masters.
Shuning thought about cooking at the same time, but his father didn't come home until the rice was cooked.
She couldn't help but panic, ran out of the door to look for it, and before she went far, someone asked her: "Ning Ning, why are you going out so late?" ”
"Auntie, I'm looking for my dad."
Shuning was about to leave after speaking, but was pulled by the aunt next door, "It's dark this day, and it's still snowing, how can you go out with a girl?" ”
"However, my dad hasn't come back yet, will there be an accident with this snow?" Shu Ning thought a lot, his mind was full of accidents, and he didn't dare to think about that child.
"Don't worry, my aunt just saw your father go to the back mountain."
"Back Mountain?" Shu Ning was stunned, grabbed her aunt's hand and hurriedly asked, "Is it the direction of the granary?" ”
"yes, it looks like I'm going to get some food, and I'm still holding a sack and rope in my hand!" The aunt next door said with a smile, asking Shuning not to worry, just go home and wait, and then go home.
“…… Sacks and ropes? Shu Ning stood stunned and muttered to himself in disbelief, "What does he want to do with the sack and rope?" ”
What is he trying to do?
Shu Ning's mind was a mess, she was so anxious that she spun in place, tears fell uncontrollably, and what she had been afraid to think about seemed to have happened.
The snow gradually stopped, and Shuning stood in place for a long time, looking in the direction of the back mountain, but did not wait for his father to come back after all.
