Chapter 4681 Children who have not returned home
"...just played outside for a while..."
"When it's time to go home, everyone goes back to their respective homes..."
"Xia Cheng has gone home too?"
"...went home too."
"Xia Cheng told them that he went home..."
"...Did you never go home?"
……
"Don't worry."
The woman comforted Xia Cheng's grandmother.
She overheard Xia Cheng chatting with his classmates. His grandmother came from the countryside to stay at his house for a while these days.
He was very happy.
Because grandma is very good to him.
Will protect him when his parents tell him.
He likes his grandma to live at home.
……
"Have you told Xia Cheng's parents?"
the woman asked.
……
"Did you say that?"
"Are they on their way back?"
The woman nodded, "Do you know any places nearby that Xia Cheng often goes to?"
"Don't panic."
"You can look for it nearby."
"A child."
"Perhaps something attracted my attention and delayed my return home."
"I'll also look around."
"If you have any questions, please contact Xia Cheng's parents, or you can contact me."
"Don't mess around alone."
"If you find Xia Cheng, give me a call and tell me."
……
After comforting Xia Cheng's grandmother for a few more words, the woman hung up the phone.
After being stunned for a few seconds, she immediately took steps.
Xia Cheng!
She gritted her teeth quite a bit in her heart.
It's this kid again.
The woman was very worried about the child's behavior during the day. She must not do anything brave again...
I hope this child is just like what she told Grandma Xia Cheng just now...
On the way home, your attention is attracted by something, such as a flower, a piece of grass, or a kitten or puppy.
And forget the passage of time.
……
The woman's steps were hurried.
According to Xia Cheng's grandmother, Xia Cheng left with a good goodbye to her friends...
The place where their children play is by the canal outside the community.
It was not far from the homes of several children.
The location is not too bad either.
It stands to reason…….
There should be no surprises.
……
Moreover, the statement of Xia Cheng's friend also ruled out the possibility of Xia Cheng falling into the river.
It’s impossible for Xia Cheng to say goodbye to her friends, wait for them to leave, and then turn back...
Uh...
Think about it this way...
It's not impossible.
……
The woman shook her head vigorously.
Don't think nonsense.
No.
Think of something good.
People are always very superstitious when they encounter something.
I always feel that my thoughts will affect reality.
In fact, the only thing that can affect it is your own mood.
……
The woman found the child nearby.
She has a mobile phone in her hand.
Didn't put the phone in my pocket.
She worried about missing the call.
……
The woman clenched her hands unconsciously.
The search on her end was leading nowhere.
There was no movement from the cell phone at all.
She became increasingly anxious and worried.
She looked at the time from time to time.
So late...
What did the child do?
Or...
The woman pursed her lips.
Are you really in any trouble?
……
Because of her random thoughts, the woman was inevitably a little distracted.
"Be careful."
The woman was pulled to the side and staggered a few steps.
Without waiting for her reaction to this...
A battery car drove past almost close to her body.
The car owner glanced at her quickly with dissatisfaction.
The same dissatisfied words were scattered in the wind.
"You can walk without eyes..."
……
The woman was a little frightened and a little embarrassed.
She turned around in panic.
But the next second he saw a face that was not unfamiliar, he was stunned.
"...it's you..."
..."Hello."
Xiao Xiao smiled, "We meet again."
The woman in front of him is Xia Cheng's teacher.
……
"Hello, you."
The woman replied subconsciously.
Then an expression of surprise appeared on her face.
"It's you?!"
He was the powerful boy who helped catch the thief before.
Within a day, they actually met again...
……
"It's me."
Xiao Xiao curled his lips.
"Please pay attention to your surroundings when walking."
……
Ah...
The woman was suddenly startled.
"I..."
The woman felt quite embarrassed.
"I..."
Ah, right!
"Have you seen that child Xia Cheng?"
It was just a sudden flash of inspiration that changed the topic.
But after asking, the woman really felt a bit of anticipation in her heart.
"...You know Xia Cheng, right?"
The woman slowly realized this problem.
"It's the child who hugged the thief's calf before."
……
"I know."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"I didn't see him."
Xiao Xiao heard the implication of the woman's words, "He is missing?"
……
The woman was slightly startled.
For the boys to react so quickly.
She nodded with a wry smile.
"I received a call from Xia Cheng's grandmother. She said that all the classmates who played with Xia Cheng have gone home, but her family, Xia Cheng, has not returned home yet."
"She asked Xia Cheng's classmates and they did go home separately at that time."
"It stands to reason that Xia Cheng should be home."
"But until now..."
The woman shook her head, with a hint of worry on her face.
"Xia Cheng hasn't come home yet."
"What's going on..."
The woman couldn't help but murmur.
"What happened..."
"Then the child won't encounter anything else on the road..."
……
The woman didn't know how many times she looked at the time, "It's already this time..."
She looked up.
Luckily it's almost summer now and the days are getting longer.
If it were winter, it would have been very dark at this point.
It's always safer for children who come home late when it's brighter.
……
The woman stopped talking to Xiao Xiao.
She has no time to chat.
There is no news about the child yet...
She took a deep breath.
This child...why is it so troublesome...
When she finds him this time, she must have a good chat with him.
At least an hour to start.
……
The woman turned around and left in a hurry.
……
Xiao Xiao was thoughtful.
Xia Cheng's disappearance...
Could it be because... I saw a dog with six legs?
……
Xiao Xiao sent a message to Chi Xiuchuan and asked for the address of Xia Cheng's home.
Sure enough, it is in a community near here.
……
Chi Xiuchuan was surprised by Xiao Xiao's news.
Then he smiled somewhat strangely.
It seemed that he had just the right time to ask Master Xiao out and tell him about Xia Cheng.
……
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.
It's just his guess now.
It's not necessarily because Xia Cheng saw a dog with six legs that he hasn't returned home yet.
Maybe Xia Cheng was distracted by other things on the way home and forgot that it was already time to go home.
The bright sky also gave children the illusion.
……
Chi Xiuchuan smiled.
As long as Master Xiao is here, nothing will happen to Xia Cheng's child.
He has this confidence.
"Master Xiao, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Xia Cheng's child was a patient who had a relationship with him.
