When Xiang Nuan came out of the room and was about to have lunch, she found that Weng Shuli was not in the living room, and the door of the room was closed.
This situation is rare. Although Weng Shuli has never been downstairs, the room will still be available, especially during meal time. Xiang Nuan thought about it and guessed that she had some conflicts with Xu Lian yesterday, and her hand was injured, so she was not in a good mood today.
She didn't take it to heart. After going to the kitchen to heat up the meal, she walked over and knocked on Weng Shuli's door: "Mom, it's time for lunch."
Usually after a few seconds, there will be movement in Weng Shuli's room, but Xiang Nuan has been standing outside the door for a while, but there is still no sound in the room. She knocked on the door again and called in, "Mom, come out for lunch."
The door was still very quiet, Xiang Nuan finally felt a little strange, and turned the doorknob gently. Weng Shuli, like Xiang Changkong, is used to keeping the door closed, but she won't lock it.
"Mom?" After the door opened, Xiang Nuan looked inside, where was Weng Shuli's shadow
She was not in the room at all.
Xiang Nuan was a little anxious. This house has two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, plus the room separated by Xiang Changkong, there are only five rooms in total. She looked for them one by one, and there was no sign of Weng Shuli anywhere.
Weng Shuli always wears slippers at home. Although she doesn't go out, they still prepare a pair of shoes for her to go out in the shoe cabinet. Xiang Nuan rushed to the door, opened the shoe cabinet and took a look. Weng Shuli's shoes were still there, and they didn't move.
Did she go out in slippers
Xiang Nuan searched the house again, there were five rooms, and there was nowhere to hide.
She was really anxious now. They were expecting Weng Shuli to go out every day, but they didn't go out without saying a word.
She ran back to her room, picked up her phone, and quickly dialed Xiang Changkong.
It was really the peak meal delivery time for Xiang Changkong. Xiang Nuan's phone rang for a while before he had to pick it up: "Xiang Nuan, what's wrong?"
When Xiang Nuan heard his voice, his heart became more and more anxious, and the uneasiness under the pressure also poured out: "Brother, mother is gone."
Xiang Changkong was stunned for a moment, and asked her, "Why are you missing? Please clarify."
When he spoke again, Xiang Nuan's voice was almost full of tears: "I don't know when she left, I've been writing papers in the room, I just saw that the time was almost up, so I went to call her for lunch, and the result was I found that there was no one in her room. I searched all over the house, even opened the wardrobe, but there was none."
Xiang Changkong's eyes gradually sank. The houses they rented were only that big. If a big living person is gone, he is gone, and it is useless to look for them. "Don't worry. Mom may not have gone far. Go downstairs and look nearby."
"it is good."
"I'll be right back, take your phone with you, call me if you have anything."
"OK."
Xiang Zhangkong hung up the phone, then set his status to busy and stopped taking orders. After asking the site for leave, he passed the order to someone else and rode the battery car home.
Xiang Nuan had already rushed downstairs at this time. They had moved here for two years, and her mother had never left the house once. She might not even know where they lived. Xiang Nuan was looking around in the community now, but when he didn't see anyone, he ran over to ask the uncle who guarded the door.
There are often aunties gathered at the door to chat, and uncles to play chess, but it was dinner time, and there were very few people at the door.
But the uncle who guarded the door still saw her mother. When she came out for the first time, he took a few more glances: "She went out. I watched her go out, and she was wearing slippers."
Xiang Nuan asked, "Where did she go?"
The uncle thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be going to the right, you go and have a look."
"Okay, thank you." Xiang Nuan went out the door, not daring to run too fast. There are all kinds of stalls and hawkers on the side of the road, and there are also various small shops selling milk tea, stationery, flowers, and typing and copying. Her mother may be in which shop.
She looked carefully at every place, for fear of missing her mother. Weng Shuli was unfamiliar with this place. She had no money or a mobile phone on her body. She walked all the way to the small park, but still didn't see Weng Shuli's figure, so she called Xiang Changkong again in a hurry.
Xiang Changkong was riding a battery car, and when he heard the phone ringing, he parked the car and picked it up: "Xiang Nuan, did your mother find it?"
"No, the guard said he did see her going out, but I came to the small park, but I still didn't see her." After all, he was still a high school student, and Xiang Nuan finally started to cry when he said this, "Brother, will my mother come out? What's the matter?"
When she told Changkong that her father was gone, it was so sudden. She thought he was joking with her, and she refused to believe it for a long time. Later, when Weng Shuli became ill, she was so worried that she would not be able to last, and left with her father. Fortunately, she survived, and now seeing her illness getting better day by day, why did she suddenly disappear.
Hearing her cry, Xiang Changkong quickly comforted: "It's alright, I'll be home soon, you can look for it again, if you can't find us, call the police first."
"Okay..." Xiang Nuan wiped his tears, hung up the phone and continued to search.
When Xiang Changkong arrived home, she still hadn't found Weng Shuli, asked Changkong about her location, picked her up first, and then took her to the police station to prepare a case.
The police asked for Weng Shuli's recent photos and the dress she wore when she disappeared, but Xiang Nuan still remembers the dress, it's just a recent photo...
"Is the photo three years ago considered a recent photo?" She subconsciously tugged at the corner of Xiang Zhangkong's clothes, looking at the police uncle opposite.
The policeman looked up at her: "What do you think, little girl?"
"..." Xiang Nuan looked up at the sky. Xiang Changkong explained to the police: "My mother fell ill three years ago, and it has only gotten better in the last year. I haven't taken pictures for a long time."
The policeman said: "That's ok, you can send the photos here. Now we have a network system. If someone sees it, they will take the initiative to contact them."
Xiang Nuan has also received a notification of missing persons before, and Mobility will automatically filter the notifications of nearby users, and basically find someone very quickly. She walked out of the police station with Xiang Changkong and said to him, "Brother, why don't I post it on the Moments?"
"Well, post it, I'll look for it again."
"Okay, let's find each other separately."
Xiang Zhangkong stopped her: "Have you eaten lunch yet?"
Xiang Nuan shook his head and said, "No, I found out that my mother was gone as soon as it warmed up. How can I still have lunch."
Xiang Changkong said: "You go up to lunch first, you have to go to school in the afternoon, don't delay, I will find my mother."
Weng Shuli was gone, Xiang Nuan had no intention of going back to school, but looking at Xiang Changkong standing in front of her, she nodded again and said, "Okay, I understand, then remember to let me know if you have any news."
"Well, don't worry." Xiang Changkong rubbed her hair, turned and left first. After Xiang Nuan returned home and posted a missing person notice in the circle of friends, he didn't bother to warm up the meal, so he just paid attention to eating it.
When Xu Lian was resting, she just swiped through the Moments, but she didn't expect the news of Weng Shuli's disappearance. She read it several times and was sure that it was really Xiang Nuan's hair, so she quickly called her.
Seeing that it was Xu Lian's call, Xiang Nuan picked it up immediately: "Sister Xu Lian."
Her voice sounded uneasy, and Xu Lian's heart sank. This circle of friends was posted by Xiang Nuan an hour ago. It seems that no one has found it yet: "Xiang Nuan, Aunt Weng is missing?"
"Well, no one was there when I asked her to eat at noon. My brother and I have already called the police."
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at home, and my brother is still looking for his mother outside, but there's no news yet."
Xu Lian thought for a while and said to her, "Don't worry, I'll go find your brother now."
When she said this, she had already walked downstairs with the car keys. Zhang Guoer had something to do today, so she didn't come to work, so she locked the door directly. Sitting in the car, she called Xiang Changkong. The phone rang twice and was picked up by Xiang Changkong: "Xu Lian?"
"Have you found Aunt Weng?"
Xiang Changkong was stunned for a moment, didn't ask how she knew, just replied: "Not yet, but I asked next to each other just now, there is indeed a store nearby who has seen her before, I don't think she should have gone far."
"I'm here to help you find it together."
"Okay." Xiang Changkong paused and added two words, "Thank you."
"What are you and me doing so politely?" Xu Lian started the car and said to Xiang Changkong on the other end of the phone, "Don't talk, I'll drive."
Xiang Changkong put the phone back in her bag after she hung up the phone.
He has already searched here twice, and if he still can't find anyone, he may have to look further afield. As if thinking of something, he wanted to call Xiang Nuan to remind her to pay attention, maybe his mother would come home by herself. Just as he was about to make a call, he saw a figure sitting on the bench in front of him.
Xiang Nuan came to this small park once before, and he also came once, but he didn't see Weng Shuli. At this moment, the person sitting on the bench rested very much like Weng Shuli. He slowly put down the phone and walked in her direction.
Weng Shuli is watching a father and son play with a remote control plane. The little boy seemed to be very interested in planes, and when he saw the plane take off, he could keep wailing.
She thought of Xiang Changkong. When he was a child, he would be so excited when he heard stories about planes from his father.
"Mom." Xiang Changkong walked over to her, lowered his head and called to her. Weng Shuli raised her head hesitantly and looked at the person standing in front of her.
He is not the kid who screamed in his impression, he has grown so big.
Xiang Changkong sat down beside her and asked her, "Why did you come here?"
Weng Shuli turned her head and didn't answer.
Xiang Changkong said again: "You suddenly disappeared, which frightened Xiang Nuan. Next time you want to go out, remember to tell her."
Weng Shuli remained silent, stood up to Xiang Changkong and helped her up from the bench: "You haven't eaten yet, let's go home and eat first."
