CHAPTER XIII
The child still had a little low-grade fever, Shu Ning woke him up softly, and wanted to add his own sweater to his down jacket, at first the child refused to wear it, Shu Ning told him that it was very cold outside, so he didn't wear a sweater, and then took the initiative to ask for a pair of woolen pants.
Shu Ning didn't think about it so much, just because he was afraid of the cold.
The two of them were fully armed, and Shuning quietly left his house with a memorial.
The sky is not yet bright, it is dark, Shuning is holding the child in one hand and a flashlight in the other, although it is not snowing, but the cold wind is still blowing, although the two of them are dressed tightly, they are still shivering when they walk out of the house.
Last night, Shu Ning had already asked where the child's home was, it was H City, that city she had heard, it was the place where her father and mother knew each other, and she had heard her father say it when she was very young.
My father told the story of his love with his mother many times, many times.
Shuning once thought that when she grew up, she must go there to see the city where her parents loved each other, so she pestered her father to tell her what car to take and how to get there.
She even remembered how much the car was.
Last night, she opened the piggy bank that she had saved since she was a child, and there were many coins of one yuan and five cents, and more of them were dime, and the largest denomination was only five yuan, which was all her savings, saved from childhood to adulthood.
She took it all with her, in a small package, and put it on her body heavily, thinking that it should be enough for the two of them to go to H City and her way home.
The two of them walked deep and shallow in the snow, and the moonlight shone on the snow, revealing a white and bright light, driving away some of the panic of the night.
Shuning thought about walking faster, and hurrying up, he must get out of the village before dawn.
But after a while, she noticed that the child was walking more and more slowly, and he could hardly keep up with her steps.
"Can't you walk?" She stopped and asked him.
“…… Foot pain! ”
The child's voice was very small, his face was pale and panting, and he could vaguely see a look of shame, he had worked very hard, very hard to keep up with this sister's pace, but his left foot was really painful, he had never been so painful since he was a child.
Unprecedented, cold pain, heart-piercing pain.
"How can it be a foot pain? We've only been gone for a while. Shu Ning looked back and saw that they really hadn't gone far, and in the haze she could even see the door of her own house.
Are all the kids in the city so squeamish?
She thought that even if she went to school in the city in the future, she would have to stay away from those city children.
The child looked at Shu Ning, pouting and about to cry: "Left foot, it hurts so much......"
"Don't cry." Shu Ning had no choice but to squat down, "Come up, I'll carry you." ”
Anyway, the child was like this because of her father, so she had to, had to send him home.
The child carefully leaned on Shuning's back, clumsily stretched out his hands and wrapped himself tightly around her neck, hanging himself on top of her.
With a heavy back, Shuning looked up into the distance, silently cheering for himself in his heart.
The sky was hazy, the moonlight and snow blended with each other, the four fields were empty, the cold wind was howling, and a young girl carried a child on her back in the faint light of the flashlight, firmly moving in one direction.
I don't know how long I walked, the sky was bright, and Shuning gradually lost his strength, but he still insisted on carrying the child on his back and continued to walk.
"Ning Ning...... Ningning ......"
Ji Lin anxiously ran in the snow, calling out his daughter's name.
He woke up this morning to find that the door of his house was open, and a huge sense of panic came to his face like a tide, and he hurriedly ran to Shuning's room, and sure enough, there was no one in the room.
Ji Lin remembered Wang Wei's crazy eyes last night.
It was an old rascal in the village, and everyone was afraid of him, and everyone who saw him stayed away from him.
It was he, who kidnapped the child, and he was only forced by him to lend him the granary for a few days, but he was caught up in the whirlpool.
Ning Ning must have been captured by him.
When he learned that the child was missing last night, he was still a little happy in his heart, thinking that the child might have been rescued, and persuaded Wang Wei to take advantage of this to stop and stop doing evil things.
But Wang Wei threatened him to take his daughter away if he didn't help him find the people back.
That's why he only came home so late last night because he helped Wang Wei find someone all night.
But when he later saw that Wang Wei was dead set on looking for him, he thought that he should have given up and should not arrest his daughter again.
But now, Ji Lin couldn't wait to press Wang Wei into the snow last night and bury him.
After finding that his daughter was missing, he immediately called the police, and then went straight to Wang Wei's house, but found that the old hooligan was not at home at all, and there was no way, he could only find it all the way out of the village.
The day of December is cold, and the season is coming, but I am sweating in a hurry.
And Shu Ning didn't know all this, she even quickened her pace after hearing her father's shouts, and hid behind a small hill with the child on her back, thinking about how not to be found by her father.
"Ning Ning, where are you? Ningning ......"
It was dawn, and the anxious shouts continued.
Ji Lin still hasn't found his daughter, facing the verge of collapse, he only has this one daughter, and that's his life.
Her birthday is today, and as a father, he also wants to surprise his daughter.
Tell her that her father has been promoted and raised, and he will be transferred to work in the city soon.
But he couldn't find her.
He began to regret it, regretting that he shouldn't have been so cowardly, and that the scoundrel had only a few threats, so he lent him the granary, and he should have called the police directly.
"Ning Ning...... Ning Ning ......" Ji Lin was really about to collapse, his voice was hoarse, and he didn't dare to stop, "Ning Ning, can you answer me?" Ningning ......"
If it was really Wang Wei who kidnapped his daughter, the police would definitely be able to intercept him, Ji Lin could only comfort himself like this in his heart.
Shu Ning hid behind the small hill, saw his father's anxious figure, walked this way, but did not dare to make a sound, and even covered the child's mouth together, for fear that he would make a sound.
The child was puzzled and looked at Shuning, only to find that she had already burst into tears.
When his father walked away, Shuning finally dared to cry.
"Sister, why are you crying?" Memorial reached out and wiped her tears.
Shuning wiped the tears from his face and said, "Let's go this way." She dragged the child on another remote path.
Before she could go far, she heard the sound of a police car, such a small mountain village, it was a big deal for a police car with an alarm sounding, and soon, the people in the village heard the sound and ran in the direction of the police car.
Shu Ning was busy carrying the child on his back and hiding behind that small hill, how could the police come? Who called the police? How could the police come out so early in the morning?
Although Shuning is still young, she also knows that the police will not be dispatched at such a time if there is no major event, and there is also a situation where the person who can make them go to the police is a "big man".
She looked at the child, and her eyes became puzzled, who was he? Is it just a city guy?
Or is the police in the city different from what she imagined?
But now, she couldn't think about it so much, she saw her father rushing in the direction of the police car, and he even ran there.
How so? Father, shouldn't he be afraid of the police?
Or maybe everything was just wrong for her, and the father didn't kidnap the child at all
Shu Ning was full of doubts in his heart, and he still didn't dare to go out with the child for the time being.
She could only ask him, "Did your family call the police?" ”
The child shook his head: "I don't know." Then he went to pull her sleeve again, "You, aren't you going to send me home?" Now, he only believes in this sister.
Shuning said: "When the police come, they will definitely send you home." ”
The child was anxious: "Then you, don't you care about me?" ”
"Do you really not know who kidnapped you?"
"I don't know."
Shuning asked cautiously, "Then you, do you remember where you were tied?" ”
She looked directly at the child and saw that he nodded firmly this time.
It's over, he doesn't know who kidnapped him, but he remembers that he was tied to the granary of their Ji family?
What to do?
Even if it was really not his father who kidnapped him, their Ji family would definitely not be able to get rid of it in the end.
Shuning was thinking nonsense, but saw his father running in the direction of the mountain, and several policemen were chasing behind him......
What's going on?
Why did my father run to the side of the mountain? It's dangerous there.
Before she had time to think about it, Shuning was about to run out, she couldn't, couldn't watch her father being taken away by the police.
Her clothes were pulled again, and the child looked up at her: "You...... Don't go over, danger. ”
Shu Ning said without hesitation: "Let go!" ”
The child shook his head stubbornly, "No......"
Shu Ning's eyes became cold for a moment: "Let go!" ”
Shuning finally broke free from the child, but in the next moment, she saw her father fall from the mountain.
"Don't! Daddy......"
At that moment, Shuning's mind went blank, and she heard her father's voice, but it was not his response
"Daddy......"
"Daddy......"
Shu Ning staggered over, only to feel that her feet were heavy, and it was difficult to pull out her feet when she stepped into the snow, so she threw everything on her body behind, just hoping to hurry up, run over quickly......
But when she got to the top of the mountain, her eyes were dark, and she didn't even have the courage to look down, so ...... It's a cliff.
Under his leg, Ning Ning knelt down straight, "Dad, can you answer me?" ”
"Okay?"
"I'm sorry, Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong...... Shu Ning slapped himself in the face mercilessly, regretting that he didn't respond to his father just now.
"I should have responded to you just now, I'm sorry, you should answer me, answer me, okay?"
From yesterday to today, Shuning's tears seem to have dried up, obviously very sad, but her eyes can't shed tears.
She leaned down the hill and looked down, but she didn't see her father, did he get stuck in the snow, or did he fall into the lake below?
"Dad, I'll go find you, I'll go find you......" Shuning muttered to himself, slowly getting up and sliding down the mountain......
"You're crazy...... a policeman next to him quickly hugged Shu Ning back, and said solemnly: "There is a cliff below!" ”
