More precisely, this is a "person" that needs to be enclosed in double quotes.
Tang Xinjue opened the car door, walked up to the little boy and squatted down gently.
"can you hear me?"
The little boy raised his head. There were no facial features on his face, only a piece of flat skin wrapped his head. When he made the "look" movement, the skin where the eyes were originally facing Tang Xinjue looked even more creepy.
Tang Xinjue looked at this face calmly, as if he was facing a normal child, he didn't even flicker his eyes when he got closer, and asked almost gently, "Little friend, can you hear me? "
The little boy reacts. nodded.
Tang Xinjue pointed to his watch again: "Can you tell my sister where this watch came from?"
The little boy swished the watch into his pocket, and turned around to run!
After waving the two short hands vigorously in the air for a long time, the little boy slowly lowered his head and found that he seemed to have been walking in place.
Tang Xinjue's toilet catch had hooked his jumper's hat at some point, and his voice was clear: "Don't be afraid, kid, I'm not a bad person."
Child:"… "
As soon as the leather stick was twisted in the hat, he was forced to turn in a different direction, his arms were hanging limply on his sides, his face without features was wrinkled, and he looked a little helpless.
He didn't have a mouth, so he couldn't answer, so Tang Xinjue asked another way: "Have you ever seen a sister who is about my height and has short hair and blue clothes? If you see it, you nod, if you don't, you shake your head."
The kid nods.
"Then this watch, is it from that sister?"
It seemed that the child took several seconds to understand the meaning of "watch" before slowly nodding.
"Where is she now?"
The child raised his arm, pointing in front of where the car was about to continue driving.
I don't know if the fog has lightened a bit, but this time through the dark and light bushes, Tang Xinjue could vaguely see a green building in the distance, located on the edge of the road.
Taking advantage of Tang Xinjue's raising his head, the child suddenly jumped into the bushes like a loach. It disappeared in a blink of an eye. Because he was too anxious to run, he didn't even need any clothes. The little black coat was hung on the leather handle, revealing Guo Guo's watch.
Tang Xinjue: ... Am I so unfriendly to children
It shouldn't be, when she talked to Feng Xiaoyu in the past, many children liked it.
Doubting himself for two seconds, Tang Xinjue put his coat and watch back in the car and drove towards the green house in the distance.
…
As the car drove closer, the whole picture of the green house came into view.
Although it is also a green building, this house is many times larger than the coffee shop at the starting point of the road, and the door is also strung with two words: restaurant.
Very concise.
A plump middle-aged woman was standing at the door of the restaurant, holding a shower to water the flower pots at the door.
When the car stopped, the middle-aged woman also stopped watering, showing an exaggerated smile that almost reached the ears, and posed a welcoming gesture.
Tang Xinjue had no doubt that any normal customer would be scared away if they passed by here.
When she got out of the car, she took the clothes left by the little boy in her hand, capturing the flickering stiffness on the middle-aged woman's face.
Tang Xinjue smiled, put the clothes on her arms casually, and cut straight to the point: "Hello, have you met a girl who is similar to my age recently?"
The boss's eyes paused on the clothes for a moment, and when he raised his head, his face was covered with a business smirk again: "I haven't seen it before."
"Not one?"
The boss covered his mouth and giggled: "Little girl, what you said is right, can I still lie to you? The location is remote, and few people will patronize for dinner at the end of the day. Of course, I remember every guest who comes."
With a smile on her face, she let Tang Xinjue walk inside.
The restaurant is very small, with four or five tables and chairs for two people, and only a few kitchen utensils in the semi-open kitchen. There was a soup simmering in the pot, giving off a strange smell, like meat or some kind of mushroom.
Looking around, Tang Xinjue didn't feel any danger. When she got close to the kitchen, the boss stopped her: "Wait a minute, girl, why does this thing in your hand look familiar to me?"
The boss turned his eyes on the toilet bowl, forced a smile and said, "Walk around outside the kitchen with this, doesn't it seem very good?"
Tang Xinjue glanced at the pin in his hand, and replied calmly: "Oh, you said this, this is my path finder."
boss:"???"
"To be honest, I actually have acquired amblyopia and can't see things one meter away, so I can only walk with the help of a roadfinder. Because of my personal preference, I customized the roadfinder to look like a toilet."
Tang Xinjue nodded, "How about it, isn't it very similar?"
boss:"… "
Ignoring the female boss who was hesitant to speak, when she walked to the kitchen window, Tang Xinjue found that there was still a small cubicle inside, and a shadow hidden in the dark could be seen through the light.
She stared at it for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said: "To be honest, I just picked up a child's coat on the road outside. I don't know who lost it..."
The shadow trembled, suddenly jumped up and ran out of the kitchen, and bumped into Tang Xinjue: it was the faceless little boy!
The little boy wanted to snatch the clothes from Tang Xinjue's hand, but when he found that he couldn't take it away, he hugged the boss's thigh and pointed at Tang Xinjue eagerly, as if he was suing.
The boss smiled awkwardly, lifted the child up and slapped the buttocks twice, and then Tang Xinjue said: "Oh, what a coincidence, the clothes you picked up belonged to this naughty kid in our family, look at this— "
The middle-aged woman wanted to take the clothes, but Tang Xinjue suddenly stopped, and asked an irrelevant topic: "I saw a lot of mud and wrinkles on the clothes, do children often play outside?"
While asking, she walked out naturally—
The moment she stepped out, the candlelight chandelier in the dining room suddenly became dark and flickered without wind.
The middle-aged woman stared at her movements closely, as if she wanted to come up and grab her directly, and she was a little inexplicably afraid, and said dryly: "Isn't that right, the child is still young, but he likes to roll around outside and get dirty all over. Little Girl, don't you order a meal? Grandma Mayas will pay for you... "
Tang Xinjue turned a deaf ear to it, and only smiled when passing by: "Boss, your clothes are wrinkled too."
"Do you also like to roll outside?"
The lights were completely extinguished, and the restaurant was plunged into darkness. In the darkness, the middle-aged woman's expression sank: "What did you say?"
"Sorry, just kidding."
Tang Xinjue threw the clothes in his hand at the other party, and at the same time stepped forward and walked out of the restaurant.
At the same moment, the female boss who grabbed the clothes suddenly rushed out, grabbing Tang Xinjue's shoulder like lightning!
