Xuanxuan is more obedient than Lele. Qi Zaozao's words just now were a bit harsh, but she knew that the child was not being naughty.
But Qi Zaozao was still very nervous. What should she do if he disappeared
Seeing Xuanxuan lowering his eyes, Qi Zaozao felt very upset and held his hands tighter, "I'm sorry, Mommy was too nervous..."
Xuanxuan shook his head, very considerately, "No, it's Xuanxuan who is too reckless."
Qi Zaozao's emotions calmed down a little, and she asked Xuanxuan to tell her what had happened before.
What Xuanxuan meant was that he had bought breakfast and there was nothing wrong with it, but the woman suddenly rushed out and started touching him all over, as if looking for something, but there seemed to be nothing, so she threw away Xuanxuan's breakfast.
Xuanxuan was scared and ran away when the woman wasn't paying attention. The woman seemed unwilling to give up and chased him again. Xuanxuan didn't come back immediately, but hid nearby until the woman couldn't find him, then he came out and went back to the hotel.
According to Xuanxuan, he was afraid that the woman would hurt Mommy and Lele, so he didn't go back. That was the naive thinking of the child.
Qi Zaozao was shocked when she heard it again. A strange woman
"Are you sure Xuanxuan hasn't seen it?"
Xuanxuan shook his head, "It seems not, but it seems..."
"What?"
Xuanxuan was hesitant at this moment, "It's a little familiar, just a little bit, but I can't remember..."
"Think about it again?"
Xuanxuan shook his head again, "Mommy, I really can't remember..."
"Can you remember her face now?"
Xuanxuan frowned, "Mommy, she's wearing a mask and sunglasses..."
Qi Zaozao's heart sank. Who could it be? Was it a human trafficker? Or was someone targeting her
Could it be someone from Ancheng
However, if An Cheng wanted to take action, he should have done so long ago, not now.
The strange woman was suspicious.
Lele sat aside without saying anything, just playing with the keys hanging around his neck, blinking his big eyes.
Qi Zaozao was looking at it, and his eyes suddenly fell on the key.
key…
"The key..."
"Hmm?" Lele asked, "Did Mommy say this key? It's Xuanxuan's."
"I found this key from my cousin..."
Picked up from Pei's house...
"Ah!" Xuanxuan suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?"
"Mommy, I thought of it. I remembered it. It was her. I remembered it. It was her. The person I saw outside Daddy's house that day..."
Qi Zaozao's heart was beating fast. She took the key from Xuanxuan's hand, her palms sweating. Could this key be what that woman wanted
Or did she drop it here that day and then try to find it
But why did she know that it was Xuanxuan who picked it up
Qi Zao Zao hid the key in the suitcase and said, "Let's leave here and go to another place..."
Qi Zaozao was very cautious along the way. She did not take the bus but took a taxi. Then she looked around and found that there was a taxi following them.
Qi Zao Zao immediately said, "Master, can you drive faster and get rid of the car behind you?"
The master glanced at the rearview mirror and laughed, "Are you guys performing Infernal Affairs?!"
"Master, I am serious, please help me..."
“Haha, OK, OK, no problem…” It happened to be a traffic light, and Qi Zaozao also became nervous. She saw the driver suddenly stepped on the accelerator and drove past, and the car behind stopped.
Qi Zao Zao looked back and then heaved a sigh of relief.
But she was still worried, so she took a long detour before stopping.
“Get off!”
Qi took her suitcase early and got out of the car with her child. She looked around and realized...
The memory was a little fuzzy. The sunlight poured in from the branches in front of her. She squinted her eyes slightly and looked over, feeling a little nostalgic and a little sad.
In front of us is the orphanage, only a hundred meters away. The building is a bit old, and the white walls outside are yellowed and look a bit old. It is the orphanage where Qi Zao Zao stayed. When he left here and was taken away by Qi's parents, the weather was also like this, and the sun was pouring down from the branches of the big tree in front of the orphanage...
This feeling was very nostalgic, but at the same time there was a sense of sourness. This sour feeling made Qi Zao Zao's previous uneasiness and anxiety disappear.
"Mommy, what's wrong with you?"
"Mommy?"
Qi Zao Zao smiled, "See? The orphanage over there..."
Qi Zaozao was abandoned at the door of an orphanage when she was half a year old, and was adopted by the Qi couple less than a year before she could remember. Although she could not remember much, those people left a deep impression in Qi Zaozao's memory.
She came back once when she was in college, and never came back since then. She had heard Qi Wei say that this place was going to be demolished, and she thought it was really demolished, but she didn't expect it was still there.
It seems that I came to the right place this time.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't excited. She came back once when she was in college, and some of the elderly people who took care of the children in the orphanage were still there.
Qi Zaozao didn't think much and took Qi Zaozao in. As soon as he entered, he was stopped by someone. The other person was a middle-aged woman, and Qi Zaozao didn't know her.
"What are you doing here?"
The other person's eyes looked strange, and his gaze also fell on Xuanxuan, Lele, and the suitcase.
Qi Zao Zao was stunned, afraid that Fan had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "I came here to take a look..."
"have a look?"
The other party obviously didn't believe it.
Qi Zao Zao nodded and said, "We really came here to take a look. Unlike what you think, we don't live nearby, so..." That's why we brought our luggage with us.
"What are you looking at here!?" the other party asked again.
Qi Zao Zao glanced ahead a few times and asked, "I wonder if Dean Weng is still here?"
"Dean Weng?" The other party was stunned. "Dean Weng is no longer here..."
"Is that so..." Qi Zao Zao looked at the other person, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "I've been there before, and this time I brought my child here from City A..."
After she said this, the other party finally understood, "I thought you threw these two children into an orphanage!"
“How is it possible…” Qi Zao Zao smiled.
"How can it be impossible? There are so many possible things. I've seen a lot!"
"My mommy wouldn't do that!" Xuanxuan said, sticking out his tongue.
Qi Zao Zao thought about it and asked, "Is Aunt Feng still here?"
"You mean Feng Huilin?"
Qi Zao Zao nodded quickly, "Yes, it's Aunt Feng!"
The other person frowned slightly, "She is still there, living in the house behind the orphanage, but her mind is not clear anymore, she is old, and has Alzheimer's disease..."
"Can I go see her?"
"Put your luggage inside, and then I'll take you there..."
"Okay, thank you. What's your name?"
"My last name is Song."
"Sister Song!"
The other person was probably about 30 or almost 40 years old. Qi Zaozao couldn't call her auntie, so she called her Sister Song. Sister Song was also very happy. She took Qi Zaozao and the two children to the back of the orphanage.
There are not as many children in the orphanage here as before. When Qi Zaozao was walking by with Xuanxuan and Lele, they saw several children playing. When they heard the noise, they all looked up at Qi Zaozao.
These children are quite pitiful. It is also because they lack the love of their parents that they become sensible at an early age.
Xuanxuan and Lele couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
When Qi Zaozao was still in the orphanage, Aunt Feng stayed there to take care of them. Qi Zaozao had a deep impression of her and visited her when she was in college. At that time, Aunt Feng's mind was still relatively clear, but this time she obviously had dementia.
"Early?"
"Yes, Aunt Feng, do you remember?"
"Early?"
"yes!"
Aunt Feng had a head full of white hair and a face full of wrinkles. She lay in a rocking chair, repeating the word "Zao Zao". Qi Zao Zao let out a long sigh, reached out and touched her hand.
Sister Song said, "It's been getting worse over the past two years... By the way, you said your name is Zao Zao, and I remember she called Zao Zao's name a few months ago. Was she calling you? She was awake for a while that time and said Zao Zao came to see her. I asked who it was, but she didn't answer me. Now it seems that she is not awake at all..."
Qi Zao Zao smiled faintly.
She remembered clearly that she was still young at that time, and Aunt Feng smiled at her very gently. However, time was like quicksand between fingers that could not be held. In the blink of an eye, Aunt Feng had grown old, and Dean Weng was no longer in the orphanage.
"When did Dean Weng leave?"
It was still there the last time she came.
"They are all old now, and were taken back by their own children. It's been a long time, I have even forgotten how long it has been..."
"You stay with her first. I have something to do outside."
"good!"
Sister Song went out, and only Qi Zaozao, Aunt Feng, Xuanxuan and Lele were left in the room.
The two children sat aside, Qi Zaozao accompanied Aunt Feng. Aunt Feng, who was sitting in the rocking chair, stared at Qi Zaozao squatting in front of her without blinking, her eyes cloudy, and she murmured, "Zao Zaozao is here..."
Qi smiled early.
"You came early..."
"Here you are again early..."
"Zao Zao... Who is it..."
Qi Zao stayed with Aunt Feng for a while, then she went to the front to see the children. Xuanxuan and Lele took out their snacks from their schoolbags and shared them with the children. Soon they became friends with the children.
Although those orphans grew up early, they had simple minds and soon regarded Xuanxuan and Lele as their friends.
Qi Zaozao walked around the area. The orphanage in her memory had not changed at all. The toilet was still the same toilet, but with the passing of time, many things had become old and yellowed.
In fact, if possible, she would like to live here for a while.
Only here, she would not have wild thoughts, and her heart would become very quiet...
This kind of quietness is really rare.
Qi Zao Zao looked up at the sky and found that it had also become exceptionally blue. (To be continued)
