Until the evening, Yi Xiaoqing had not been found. First, the relatives of the Yi family shouted her name while looking for her nearby, and then the neighbors heard about the little girl's loss and joined the search team. At first, they were in the village, but gradually expanded the scope of the search to where the little girl might go.

In this process, the most anxious ones are naturally Wang Hua and Yi Xiaoqing's father. But even at this moment, Wang Hua still read fiercely in her mouth: "It's really hard wings, let's worry so much!" When she comes back, see how I clean her up! Yi Lan next to him sighed: "Don't say such things at this time......"

"It's not what you're used to!"

"I ......"

Yi Yang watched this scene in silence and didn't say anything, but sighed silently in his heart.

Yi Lan is Yi Xiaoqing's father, and his name doesn't look like a farmer's name at all, because the second grandfather can write, and he is quite elaborate when he comes up with his name, expecting him to blow to the outside world like a mountain wind, but unfortunately this name didn't bring him anything, but Yi Yang's father, who used to be called "Yi Dawa", broke out.

The name Yi Xiaoqing's Xiaoqing is taken from the meaning of "blue is better than blue", and it is naturally the name taken by the second grandfather, full of hope for the girl. Although Yi Xiaoqing was influenced by Wang Hua and was not close to the second grandfather, from the perspective of the second grandfather, Yi Xiaoqing was his only granddaughter.

At this time, Wang Hua wanted to say something more, but all the relatives couldn't stand it, and some of them persuaded each other with kind words: "Sister-in-law, just say a few words...... If the child really has a ...... of three long and two short" "You still have to take a little bit of temper, after all, there are so many people, Xiaoqing is about to graduate from junior high school, and he still has ......to save face" Some elders even said quite sternly: "What do you say right or wrong now?" Still don't want to find the child first? ”

The reason why Yi Xiaoqing ran away was that when she was erecting the pole today, Wang Hua said a few words to her, it was just some trivial things, Yi Xiaoqing didn't like to listen to it, so she left with her head down, but she didn't expect Wang Hua to be unrelenting, and chased after her: "Your wings are hard, your wings are hard, right?" Now I'm going to look at your face when I say two words to you? It's not time for you to give me a look in the face! After arguing a few words, Yi Xiaoqing ran away crying.

At first, they didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and the adults continued to work until they finished their morning work and were about to go back to have a meal first, when they called Yi Xiaoqing but turned off their phones, and then they realized that something was wrong, and then they looked around nearby and didn't see anyone, and gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.

After all, it's my cousin, and it's impossible to say that I'm not worried. Yi Yang followed the team to look everywhere, while thinking about where the girl would run, bringing herself into the other party, trying to go to a few possible places, but to no avail. Not a girl after all......

After thinking about it, Yi Yang picked up the phone and called Zhao Yue'e and their house, and more than twenty minutes later, Zhao Yue'e appeared at the entrance of the village on a bicycle.

Zhao Yue's height has also grown a lot taller, and she is no longer the little one she used to be. At this time, Zhao Yue, who is in the third year of junior high school, has passed 165 in height, and according to the memory of the previous life, she can still rise again. But there is not much flesh on the body and face, and it looks thin. At this time, she was wearing a pair of white-washed jeans, a pink printed short sleeve, and a ponytail, but perhaps because she was used to looking at her short appearance, she felt that she was not as well-behaved as before...... Probably an awkward period on the way to the growth of a girl?

"How long has Xiaoqing been lost?"

"Half a day...... If it were you, where would you go? ”

"Uh...... I don't know, I shouldn't be able to run. ”

Yi Yang sighed, "Forget it, there is no other good way now, so I can only pull the net to look for it nearby." If it really doesn't work, I'll call the police......"

"Call the police?"

"In case you run out of the village, or even go to the county seat to buy a ticket, out of the county seat, you will be in trouble. Although she is still quite timid, it is not impossible. ”

Zhao Yue'e nodded silently, she also thought of this possibility, and at this time she was more surprised, she really didn't expect that Yi Xiaoqing would really dare to do such an outrageous thing as running away from home. But there is one thing that she doesn't agree with Yi Yang's words, that is, about the evaluation of Yi Xiaoqing's timidity, she thought, is it still timid to dare to run away from home?

……

"I'm so timid!"

Thinking of this, Yi Xiaoqing's tears fell a little unhappily.

At this time she was huddled under an arched bridge in the village, an angle that could not be seen from the bridge or on the riverbank unless she walked underneath the bridge. Several waves of people had already walked over the bridge, shouting her name......

There is an inexplicable pleasure to hear them anxiously looking for themselves, and at the same time the mood is even more apprehensive, these are the parts that can be realized, and there are some emotions that she cannot perceive, subconscious: being able to sense that they are looking for themselves will bring a sense of groundedness.

The river was flowing slowly, and the water was uneven because of the stones at the bottom, and in some places it flowed faster, making a white splash, and then disappearing quickly. Her gaze was intently fixed on those places, and by this time her mood had calmed down from the initial grief and indignation.

At that time, when I left with grief and anger, I naturally didn't think too much about it, but at this time, my mood gradually calmed down, and there were some things that I had to think about...... What's next? Naturally, she didn't have a formal logical chain yet, and the thought pattern of determining how one point and the next point would be, at this time was just a matter of thinking confusedly about whether to go back or not.

It's hard to ride a tiger.

She didn't dare to really run away from home.

But she is already in her third year of junior high school, and she can fully realize what a big disaster she has caused at this time, and as the sky gradually darkens and time passes by minute by minute, this disaster is getting bigger and bigger...... But realizing this doesn't help the situation at this time, and goes back in disgrace? She couldn't imagine how much anger she would have to endure when she went back at this time.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt very sad.

When those classmates ran away from home, their parents must have been so anxious that they would cry while hugging their classmates when they went back, but on the other hand, what they are worried about now is the anger of their mother after they go back.

I hate myself for cowardice!

If it weren't for his cowardice and he really ran away from home, he wouldn't have been afraid. Thinking of this, tears fell again.

Many people who often make small reports or are active in front of teachers in elementary school suddenly become silent at a certain time in junior high school, because their brains begin to gradually think about some things, about interpersonal communication, about face, and self-esteem also becomes strong during this period.

Because of Yi Yang's mention that time, she realized that she didn't know how many sarcastic and sarcastic things she had said because she was brainless, and she thought it was a straightforward humor. Later times, when communicating with others, they will deliberately avoid it, occasionally reappear in their nature, and after reflecting on it, they will be annoyed. But she is not a talkative person after all, she has become more and more taciturn after a long time, but she is not so annoying in the eyes of her classmates, everyone is forgetful, especially after one or two long vacations, it is equivalent to refreshing the impression, and gradually she has a few good friends in school.

She is very grateful to Yi Yang. She thought, if it weren't for Yi Yang's reminder that made her wake up like a dream, she still didn't know how long she would continue to walk on this road and how long it would be annoying.

Respect others and empathize with their emotions.

It's just that the more she is like this at school, as soon as she gets home, the more she collapses, because Wang Hua is the kind of person who doesn't care about her emotions at all, and often a small thing will rise to the evaluation of the whole person, all kinds of sarcasm and sarcasm continue, only when chatting with others, she will use her grades in the village to show off...... She finally realized why she used to be so annoying when she communicated with others, and it was because she had lived in this environment for a long time that she regarded this way of communication as a normal way of communication in intimate relationships.

It's really devastating......

The sky was getting darker, from sunny to cloudy, and it was just a few gaps blown by strong winds. Even if she stayed under the bridge, she could realize that the clouds were thick. She thought, just let it rain down and make the water under the bridge rise, and drown herself!

And then it rained.

Yi Xiaoqing: "......"

The rain came very quickly, ticking and ticking, and when you look at the river from under the bridge, the river has been completely hidden by the water curtain in the confusion.

It was also completely dark, and it was too dark under the bridge, and her mood became heavier and heavier, and she even became a little frightened in the back. But thinking that if I go back at this time, I will also be scolded, so I might as well stay here......

An autumn rain and a cold, this rain was supposed to cool down, hiding under the bridge The cold gradually eroded up, and she couldn't help but sneeze. She thought, let's just freeze to death under this bridge...... Then I thought of some scenes, and after a few days, or a little longer, my parents found their body, and finally couldn't help but regret it, crying bitterly...... It hurts in my heart, but it's refreshing.

But when I think about it, the body is still protesting. Cold and hungry, he sighed and prepared to go to a place where he could be more easily discovered...... If it is discovered, it is not what he originally wanted to go back to, so the ambition to run away from home will not be destroyed.

She got up from under the bridge, and then carefully moved to the spot she had just slipped down, a ramp that needed to be climbed up. She was stunned as the rain came down and fell on the slope, smashing the dirt into mud......

Caught in a dilemma.

When she realized this, tears fell uncontrollably again. The rain fell on the body, it was even cooler, and at the same time the sky gradually darkened, the rain in the near distance, the scene in the distance, everything around was gradually blurred by the darkness, and after a while of the rain in place, I couldn't help but sneeze.

Wu cried for a while, but still gritted his teeth and climbed up.

Naturally, this is not an easy thing to do, the slope has become extremely slippery because of the mud, just stepped on it, the foot is slippery, the body fell forward uncontrollably, the hand supported the body, and it was fiercely embedded in the mud, at this time she secretly screamed that it was over, because the pants and the top were all fallen into the mud, and the whole person became a mud figure, and her first thought was that her mother saw that her clothes were dirty like this, and she must have been even more angry...... But she didn't notice that at the very place where she fell, less than a meter down, was the river that was becoming turbulent.

But the clothes have already been soiled, so I can only continue to climb up with the mentality of breaking the jar and breaking it. She wept silently, and slowly climbed up, the higher and steeper it became, it was not so difficult to walk here when there was no rain, but at this moment, every little advance was extremely difficult. In the final position, it has become a straight slope that she cannot climb...... It was a real dilemma, and she looked down behind her, and under the steep slope, the river seemed to swallow everything up in the dark......

It occurred to her that if she fell...... Will die!

When she realized that she was in a life-or-death position, she could no longer remain calm, and she tore her throat and cried, her fingers digging deep into the mud, but little by little, her feet were becoming more slippery, her heart was beating violently, and fear drove her to struggle to climb up......

The cry did not attract others, she felt desperate, fortunately she stepped on a handful of grass, her feet were vigorous, and she struggled to get up a little bit, but the last ten centimeters of the next ten centimeters could no longer climb up......

In that position, she could only grasp it with her hands and step on it with her feet, I don't know if it was because of fear or cold, she shivered uncontrollably, and she held on for dozens of seconds, her fingers were sore, and tears mixed with the rain flowed continuously......

Then a pair of hands came down from front of him.

……

"Sneeze ......"

Yi Xiaoqing was wearing Zhao Yue'e's clothes and sitting on the edge of the fire, the firewood was burning, and the radiating temperature made her feel a lot more comfortable. Zhao Yue'e next to her didn't say anything comforting, but just brought some persimmons from home over and asked her if she wanted to eat them.

Yi Xiaoqing secretly glanced at Yi Yang, who was helping her wash her clothes in the other corner of the hall, and couldn't help but think of the scene when she was most desperate, reaching out to save her from despair...... Then he came back to his senses and shook his head at Zhao Yue, her complexion was weak, and her voice was a little hoarse, and said, "Thank you, I don't want to eat ......."

Zhao Yue'e's parents went out to work again, and she was the only one in the family. After the two found Yi Xiaoqing by the bridge, they were very sympathetic when they saw her so embarrassed. Yi Xiaoqing begged not to send her back, Zhao Yue'e naturally couldn't make up her mind, Yi Yang thought about it, and sent her here.

Yi Yang washed and wrung out Yi Xiaoqing's clothes, took them to the stove and roasted them, and did not blame her during the whole process. After doing all this, he sat down opposite Yi Xiaoqing slowly, "Okay, then let's talk about your affairs now." ”

Yi Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something, but Yi Yang took a piece of toilet paper and handed it over, "Your snot is running down, wipe it." ”

"You're in a terrible situation right now. In order to find you, almost all of us surnamed Yi have been dispatched, and the scope of the search is not limited to Yanzi Township, but also a few nearby townships, I think if I can't find you, this range will be further expanded...... Of course, this is not the worst, the worst is your mother, who should also be able to imagine her emotions right now...... Of course, it's not blindly angry, but there is still a large part of the emotion...... Sadness. ”

Yi Yang sat there with a calm tone, "But I can tell you for sure that when your mother sees you, it won't be long before she gets even angrier, and I'm sure you'll be able to understand this." ”

Zhao Yue'e glanced at Yi Yang and Yi Xiaoqing curiously, and then turned on the stove to see a few potatoes burned inside.

Yi Xiaoqing sneezed again, and lowered her head in Yi Yang's voice.

"There are a few more things I want to tell you. I can understand you, and I know where your urge to do this comes from. But I also want to tell you that this thing is stupid. Why is it stupid, I'll analyze it for you. ”

"Next, you can't continue to run away from home. I don't want you to do that either, because you've probably realized that the premise of running away from home is to be independent, at least to support yourself. Without independence, it would be stupid to run away from home. My suggestion is that when you go home, apologize to your aunt, we will be there, and some elders in the family will also be present, and they will persuade your mother, so the scene will not be ugly, and the second uncle is already persuading your mother. And then, you have to learn to be patient until you are independent and can argue with your mother. If you don't like to stay at home, you can find a reason, such as asking Zhao Yue'e to guide you in your homework or something, come here, out of sight and out of mind......"

Zhao Yue'e was a little stunned and raised her head.

How do you persuade people like this......

"You can't change your mother, so before you become independent, you can only endure it. I won't use moral kidnapping to persuade you to be like other elders, you just have to remember these words, if you say it, it will also bring me some trouble, I don't think you will do that. You're tired and scared today, so I'll take care of the rest. ”

After a pause, Yi Yang sighed, "I'm your cousin." ”

Yi Xiaoqing's mind once again flashed the hands that stretched out when he was most desperate, and then silently shed tears.

I'm your cousin......
