Chapter 01: Blocking the Way
"Guagua, mom is going to the bathroom, you can go in with mom! I'll be out soon!" said a slightly chubby young mother in a light blue jeans suit, pulling the four-year-old boy next to her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I'm not going! It's the women's bathroom, boys can't go in. The boy named Guagua, with his head raised and stared at him with wide eyes, said seriously.
The melon is quite pleasant: white and pure, chubby, with black hair and a small braid tied at the back of the head. The two large eyes flickered as if they could speak, and the two red lips shone ruddyly.
The young mother looked at the flow of people shuttling around, and said to Guagua a little uneasily: "Then you just stay here, you are not allowed to go anywhere, no one tells you to follow, and you can't leave here if your mother doesn't come out, do you hear?"
"I know, I'll stay here, you go!" Guagua said sensibly, looking at her mother.
The young mother looked around again, turned around and walked to the bathroom hallway, and at the bend she glanced back at Guagua, and instructed, "Don't move! Mom will come out immediately!"
Guagua was still a little impatient: "You go quickly! I'll wait for you!"
The young mother stared at Guagua again, turned around and walked into the small passage to the bathroom.
This is a scene next to the bathroom on the first floor of the small commodity shopping mall in Yunxia County, North China. This shopping mall just opened this morning, and there are many people who come to shop and visit, and the aisles are full of pedestrians.
The small commodity shopping mall is a rectangular three-storey building facing east and west, the first floor is for food, all kinds of food, the second floor is for clothing and household goods, that is, daily necessities, and the third floor is for stationery, including music and sporting goods. The main entrance of the shopping mall is on the south side, more than ten meters outside the road, there is also a gate on the east and west sides, and there is a small square outside to park vehicles, and there are also people waiting outside the door. During normal business hours, these doors are open, and people come and go through them
The bathrooms at The Shoppes are located at the innermost side of the main entrance, with a rolling staircase in between. That is, one side of the ladder is the south gate and the other is the bathroom. On the east and west sides of the staircase are shops and aisles selling goods. All shops are located around the perimeter and in the middle of the floor, with the middle and side shops separated by a corridor. People come and go in the aisles, some shopping and some strolling.
After the young mother walked into the women's bathroom, she found a toilet pit and squatted down to urinate, and then washed her hands at the sink, and finally came out with a paper towel to wipe her hands. When she walked out of the mezzanine, she was dumbfounded: her four-year-old son Guaga was gone!
Her brain suddenly rang, and the blood in her body rushed to the top of her head, and she muttered: Don't have an accident! Don't have an accident! Thinking so, she ran through the rolling ladder to the south gate, shouting Guagua and looking around.
There were a few children playing outside the main entrance, but there were no melons. She asked one of the older children, "Did you see a four-year-old boy come out?"
The child looked at the young mother and shook his head and said, "I don't see it!"
The young mother hurriedly returned to the bathroom and looked at the aisles on the left and right, so she ran ruthlessly down the inner aisle and shouted Guagua's name to the west gate. When I came to the outside of the west gate, I shouted a few times, and looked around the neighborhood, but I still didn't see Guagua. Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and an ominous premonition swayed in her mind: Guaguagua will not be taken away by human traffickers, right? Thinking of this, she quickly turned around and ran east along the aisle, ready to run to the east gate to take a look.
Just now, when the young mother was going to the toilet, a middle-aged man and woman walked up to Guagua. The lady in a gray casual dress squatted down and took out a candy ball and said, "Guagua, Auntie will give you a piece of candy to eat, eat it!"
"I'll carry him!" the man squatted down, picked up Guagua, and strode towards the east gate.
At this time, Guagua did not resist, nor did he struggle, his eyes were half-open and he was panting evenly, looking at the meaning as if he couldn't do it, and he was about to fall asleep.
The lady stood at the entrance of the bathroom for a moment, didn't see anyone coming out, and then looked around again, and no one paid attention to it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She saw the man walking away with Guagua, so she followed the man to the east gate. Outside the east gate of the mall, the woman caught up with the man, and together they ran through the small square to a silver motorcycle parked on the side of the road.
It was a three-wheeled motorcycle, with a driver's seat in front and a shed in the back, with a double seat. The motorcycle was already starting, and it was suddenly sounding, ready to go at any time. A man with a dark face and gray hair sat in the driver's seat, he looked up and looked ahead, just waiting for an order!
The man and the woman ran to the side of the motorcycle, and the lady got into the carport first, and the man handed the sleeping melon in his hand to the lady in the car, and got into the carport with one leg and sat side by side with the lady. Then he snapped the door shut, followed by a sentence, "Drive!" and closed his eyes and began to close his eyes.
