Chapter 4682 In the Bamboo Forest
For his patients, Chi Xiuchuan has a sense of responsibility as a doctor.
……
Xiao Xiao came to the community where Xia Cheng's family was located.
It was dinner time, and the aroma of food filled the neighborhood.
……
"Ouch~"
The little Taotie covered his belly.
Pouting.
Of course it knows that Master Xiao Xiao is looking for someone now.
As for dinner...
It's about to move back.
Although Xiao Taotie was very reluctant, there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, Little Taotie hated the human cubs who didn't come home on time.
……
Xiao Xiao searched around the community.
Not found.
He stopped at the entrance of a park.
Different from the dilapidated park he stayed in before, this park is obviously much newer in every aspect.
I could faintly hear the noise coming from the park.
……
Um?
Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.
He thought of the fleeting monster he had accidentally glimpsed in the previous park...
He didn't see the other party's appearance clearly.
He was swinging on the swing and eating octopus balls, and the sun was shining warmly on his body, which was so comfortable.
Thoughts run away.
If it weren't for his keen sense, he wouldn't have noticed a monster running past in the distance.
……
"Ajiu, Abai."
Xiao Xiao lowered his head.
"Have you seen clearly the appearance of the monster that ran in the park earlier?"
He didn't ask Xiao Taotie and Feifei.
He knew they weren't paying attention.
The little glutton only has food in his eyes.
Philip has always been very indifferent to things that he is not interested in.
In comparison, little white foxes and white snakes are more likely to notice the outside world.
……
It's a pity.
The little white fox and the white snake both shook their heads.
The monster was just passing by.
Why should they care about a monster that has nothing to do with them?
Humans are surprised to see monsters.
Monsters behold monsters...
What's so surprising?
……
Xiao Xiao gently touched the little white fox's head.
He also rubbed the white snake's head with his fingers.
OK.
They have so many pairs of eyes, but none of them can see the appearance of the monster...
It should be said that they were too negligent...
Or is it that the other party is too inconspicuous?
Or, a bit of both?
……
Anyway, that's a guess worth checking.
With the current search encountering a bottleneck, he should go back and take a look.
……
Xiao Xiao quickly returned to the old park.
The contrast between the two parks before and after is too stark.
A faint smile flashed across Xiao Xiao's eyes.
I don’t know how long this dilapidated park can survive?
……
Xiao Xiao walked into the park.
In fact, after all this time has passed, the monster has probably left here.
But now that it’s possible...
Just to be on the safe side, come and take a look.
……
Um?
Xiao Xiao noticed that the swing was shaking slightly.
He raised his eyes and looked around.
It's like someone has just left on the swing...
……
Xiao Xiao took steps forward.
This park is either big or small.
Wild growing herbaceous plants occupy most of the park.
There is a lake in the center of the park.
It has long been turbid.
The locks on the doors of the buildings nearby are rusty.
……
Everything in this park with artificial traces has an obvious air of decay.
Only natural products are particularly vibrant.
Including the bamboo forest in front of me.
Lush and green.
It's eye-catching.
Other plants are lush and lush, but a little messy.
But this bamboo forest is clear and calm.
Even there are overgrown weeds.
The clean temperament of bamboo suppresses all the noise.
……
Xiao Xiao walked into the bamboo forest.
The light suddenly became much darker.
It's like entering another world.
……
Xiao Xiao walked slowly and slowly.
Um?
Xiao Xiao's ears twitched slightly.
It seems...
"Xia Cheng."
Xiao Xiao suddenly shouted.
……
Heard that!
Xiao Xiao walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
……
Soon, Xiao Xiao saw a group of small figures. It's a child huddled under a bamboo tree.
The child's suddenly raised face showed a bit of surprise when he suddenly heard his name, mixed with some fright.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Xia Cheng."
He knelt down in front of the child.
"Found you."
……
The child then opened his eyes belatedly.
……
"Do you recognize me?"
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows are slightly curved.
"We met during the day."
Xiao Xiao blinked at the child.
"Together we caught the thief."
……
The child's eyes lit up quickly.
He remembers!
What a great big brother!
"Big brother..."
The child's voice unconsciously revealed a cry.
……
"It's okay."
Xiao Xiao reached out and patted the child's head gently.
He looked at the child's feet.
This child has been sitting on the ground...
"Tired?"
"Still uncomfortable somewhere?"
……
The child became more and more aggrieved.
He pointed to his feet.
The voice was choked, "My foot is twisted."
"It hurts."
……
"Really?"
"Let me see."
Xiao Xiao looked at the child's twisted foot.
It's already swollen.
He gently pressed the swollen bump on the child's foot.
The child's whole little face was wrinkled.
……
"Does it hurt?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the child.
The child didn't answer immediately.
He tilted his head, seeming to feel it carefully.
Then a bit of uncertainty and surprise appeared on his face.
"It hurts a little..."
"...But it doesn't hurt..."
……
That's good.
Xiao Xiao felt a little relieved.
It appeared that no bones were broken.
……
"Do you know your home phone number?"
Xiao Xiao took out his mobile phone.
"Call your family."
"Your family and teachers are looking for you."
"They're worried about you."
……
"Ah!?"
The child subconsciously raised his head and noticed the change in the sky.
He even saw the moon.
The child was surprised.
"So late?!"
The child suddenly felt like an ant on a hot pot, and kept mumbling, "It's so late...it's so late..."
……
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"It's very late."
"So you haven't gone home yet, making many people worried."
"Hurry up and call your family."
"Let them know you're okay..."
……
"Yeah!"
The child nodded immediately, his face full of anxiety.
It's so late and he hasn't come home yet...
The child swallowed nervously.
He sat up straight.
The whole body tensed up unconsciously.
He quickly pressed a series of numbers on his phone.
He clearly remembers not only the phone number at home, but also the phone numbers of his parents and grandma.
Out of his natural instinct to avoid danger, the child chose to call his grandmother after only thinking for a second.
……
The first call didn't go through.
The child is getting more and more impatient.
He muttered, "Why doesn't grandma answer the phone..."
……
"Don't worry."
Xiao Xiao comforted the child, "Grandma is looking for you."
At this time, he could imagine the restlessness of his child's grandmother.
The child's grandmother in this state... probably doesn't have the heart to answer unknown calls, right?
certainly.
There is another possibility.
