Until the evening, Yi Xiaoqing was not found. First, relatives of the Yi family were searching nearby and calling her name. Then the neighbors heard about the missing girl and joined the search team one after another. Everyone was in the village at first, and then gradually expanded the scope of the search to include places where the little girl might go.

In this process, the most anxious ones were naturally Wang Hua and Yi Xiaoqing's father. But even at this moment, Wang Hua still muttered fiercely: "It's really the wings that are stiff that makes us so worried! When she comes back, let's see how I take care of her!" Yi Lan sighed next to her. Tone: "Don't say such things at this time..."

"You're not used to it!"

"I……"

Yi Yang watched this scene in silence, saying nothing, but sighing silently in his heart.

Yi Lan is Yi Xiaoqing's father. His name doesn't look like a farmer's name at all, because the second grandfather can write and was very particular when choosing his name. He expected him to blow to the outside world like a mountain breeze. , but it's a pity that this name didn't bring him anything. Instead, Yi Yang's father, who was once called "Yi Dawa", broke in.

Yi Xiaoqing's name Xiaoqing comes from the meaning of "a young man is better than a young man". Naturally, it was also the name given by his second grandfather, full of hopes for the young girl. Although Yi Xiaoqing was not close to the second grandfather due to Wang Hua's influence, from the second grandfather's perspective, Yi Xiaoqing was his only biological granddaughter. At this time, she was lost, and the old man was so sad that he wiped away tears.

At this time, Wang Hua wanted to say something more, but all the relatives couldn't stand it anymore. Some of them tried to persuade her: "Sister-in-law, just say less... If the child really has a problem..." "You I still have to temper my temper a little. After all, there are so many people, and Xiaoqing is about to graduate from junior high school, so he still has to save face..." Some elders even said sternly: "What's right and wrong now? I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet. The child was found first?”

The reason why Yi Xiaoqing ran away was that when the pole was being set up today, Wang Hua said a few words to her. It was just a trivial matter at first. Yi Xiaoqing didn't like it, so she left with a depressed head, but she didn't expect that Wang Hua wouldn't let her go. , chased after him and said: "Your wings are strong, your wings are strong, right? Now I have to look at your face after saying a few words to you? It's not time for you to show your face to me yet!" After a few quarrels, Yi Xiaoqing ran away crying.

At first, they did not realize the seriousness of the problem. The adults continued to work. It was not until they finished their morning work and were about to go back for a meal that they called Yi Xiaoqing but his phone was turned off. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. , and then after looking around for a while, no one was seen, and gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.

After all, she is her cousin, so it is impossible not to worry. Yi Yang followed the team to search everywhere, thinking about where the girl would go and bring him into the other party, and tried several possible places, but to no avail. After all, she's not a girl...

After thinking about it, Yi Yang picked up the phone and called Zhao Yue'e's home. Twenty minutes later, Zhao Yue'e appeared at the entrance of the village riding a bicycle.

Zhao Yue'e's height has also grown significantly, and she is no longer the little kid she once was. At this time, Zhao Yue'e, who was in the third grade of junior high school, was already over 165cm tall. According to the memory of her previous life, she could still grow a little taller. But there is not much flesh on the body and face, and he looks thin. At this time, she was wearing a pair of washed-out jeans, a pink printed short-sleeved shirt, and a ponytail. But maybe because she was used to seeing her short and small appearance, she felt that she was not as well-behaved as before... maybe she was growing up as a girl. An awkward period on the road?

"How long has Xiaoqing been missing?"

"Half a day...if it were you, where would you probably run to?"

"Uh... I don't know, I shouldn't be able to run."

Yi Yang sighed, "Forget it, there is no other good way now. I can only search around the area first. If it doesn't work, just call the police..."

"Calling the police?"

"If she ran out of the village, or even went to the county seat to buy a ticket, she would be in trouble. Although she is still quite timid, it is not impossible."

Zhao Yue'e nodded silently. She also thought of this possibility. At this time, she was more surprised. She really didn't expect that Yi Xiaoqing would dare to do such an outrageous thing as running away from home. But there was one thing Yi Yang said that she disagreed with, and that was the evaluation of Yi Xiaoqing's timidity. She thought, is it considered timid to dare to run away from home?

"How cowardly I am!"

Thinking of this, Yi Xiaoqing's tears fell again a little unsatisfactorily.

At this time, she was huddled under an arch bridge in the village. This angle was a blind spot. Unless she walked under the bridge, she could not be seen on the bridge or the river bank. Several waves of people had already passed by on the bridge, calling her name...

Hearing them anxiously looking for her, she felt an inexplicable pleasure, and at the same time she felt even more uneasy. These were the conscious parts, and there were also some emotions that she couldn't detect, subconscious: she could sense that they were looking for her. , will bring a sense of solidity.

The river flowed slowly in front of me. Because there were stones at the bottom of the river, the water flow was uneven. It flowed faster in some places, creating white splashes, which then quickly disappeared. Her eyes were staring at those places, and her mood had calmed down from the initial sadness and anger.

When I left with grief and anger, I naturally didn’t think too much, but now my mood gradually calmed down, and I had to think about some things... What should I do next? Naturally, she has not yet established a formal logical chain, determined a point, and a mode of thinking about the next point. At this time, she is just confused about whether to go back or not.

Riding a tiger is difficult.

She didn't dare to really run away from home.

But as she is already in her third year of junior high school, she can fully realize how big a disaster she has caused by what she did at this time, and as the sky gradually darkens and the time passes, the disaster becomes more and more serious... But realizing this will not help the situation at this time. Should we go back in despair? She couldn't imagine how much anger her mother would have to bear if she went back now.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt very sad.

Those classmates ran away from home, and their parents must have been extremely anxious. They must have cried and hugged their classmates when they went back. But looking back at myself, what I am worried about now is my mother's anger after she returns.

I hate myself for being so cowardly!

If it weren't for my own cowardice and I really ran away from home, I wouldn't be afraid. Thinking of this, tears fell down again.

Many people's personalities often change greatly since junior high school. Many people who often made small reports or were active in front of teachers in elementary school suddenly become taciturn during a certain period of time in junior high school because their brains begin to think more. Things, interpersonal relationships, face, and self-esteem generally become stronger during this period.

Because of Yi Yang's suggestion that time, she realized how many sarcastic and sarcastic words she had said without realizing it, and she was complacent and thought it was a kind of straightforward humor. Later, when communicating with others, I will deliberately avoid it. Occasionally, my true nature will reappear, and after reflection, I will be very upset. But after all, she is not a talkative person. As time goes by, she becomes more and more taciturn, but she becomes less annoying in the eyes of her classmates. Everyone is forgetful, especially after one or two long holidays, which is equivalent to refreshing their impressions. Gradually, she is in school. I also have a few good friends here.

She was very grateful to Yi Yang. She thought that if it hadn't been for Yi Yang's reminder that she woke up from a dream, she didn't know how long she would have continued on this road and how long she would have been annoying.

Respect others and understand their emotions.

But the more she was like this at school, the more she collapsed as soon as she got home, because Wang Hua was the kind of person who didn't care about her emotions at all. Often a small thing would rise to the evaluation of the entire person, and all kinds of She was constantly sarcastic, and only when chatting with others, she would show off her grades, which were relatively good compared to those in the village... She finally realized why she was so annoying when communicating with others. It was precisely because she had lived in this kind of life for a long time. environment, so this way of communication is regarded as a normal way of communication in an intimate relationship.

Really devastated...

The sky is getting darker, and the change from sunny to overcast is just a few gaps where the strong wind blows. Even under the bridge, she could realize that dark clouds were gathering. She thought, just let a heavy rain fall, let the water under the bridge rise, and drown her!

Then it really started to rain.

Yi Xiaoqing: "..."

The rain came very quickly, dripping and dripping. Looking at the river from under the bridge, the river has been completely hidden by the confusing curtain of water.

The sky was completely dark, and it was too dark under the bridge. Her mood became heavier and heavier, and she even became a little scared later on. But when I think about going back now and getting scolded, I might as well stay here...

There was an autumn rain and a cold. This rain was supposed to cool down the temperature. Hiding under the bridge, the coldness gradually eroded her. She couldn't help but sneeze. She thought, let herself freeze to death under this bridge... Then she thought of some scenes. A few days later, or maybe a little longer, her parents discovered her body, and finally couldn't help but regret it and cried bitterly... ...It hurts in my heart, but it feels good.

But when I think about it, my body is still protesting. Being cold and hungry, I sighed quietly and prepared to go to a place where I could be more easily discovered... If I was discovered, it was not my intention to go back after all, so my ambition to run away from home would not be considered destroyed. .

She stood up from under the bridge, and then carefully moved to the place where she had just slipped down, a slope that needed to be climbed up. The rain came down and fell on the slope, smashing the soil into mud. Looking at this scene, she was stunned...

Caught in a dilemma.

When she realized this, tears fell uncontrollably again. The rain fell on my body, making it even colder. At the same time, the sky gradually darkened. The rain nearby, the scene in the distance, and everything around me were gradually blurred by darkness. I stayed in the same place for a while and couldn't bear the rain. He sneezed.

Wuzi cried for a while, then gritted his teeth and climbed up.

Naturally, this is not an easy task. The slope became extremely slippery because of the mud. As soon as I stepped on it, my feet slipped. My body fell forward uncontrollably. I supported my body with my hands and was deeply embedded in the mud. At this time, she screamed inwardly, because her pants and top fell into the mud, and her whole body became a clay figure. The first thing she thought of was that her mother would be even more angry when she saw the clothes were so dirty. But she didn't notice that right where she fell, less than one meter down, was the river that was becoming rapid.

But since my clothes were dirty, I could only continue to climb up with the mentality of breaking the pot. She cried silently and slowly climbed up, getting steeper and steeper. It was not so difficult to walk here when there was no rain, but now every step forward was extremely difficult. At the last position, it had become a straight slope that she could not climb... Now it became a real dilemma. She lowered her head and glanced behind her. Under the steep slope, the river seemed to swallow everything in the darkness... …

She suddenly thought that if she fell... she would die!

When she realized that she was in a life-and-death situation, she could no longer remain calm and cried at the top of her lungs. She tried her best to dig her fingers deeper into the mud, but little by little, her feet were getting thicker. Slippery, her heart beat violently, and fear drove her to climb up...

The cry did not attract anyone else, and she felt desperate. Fortunately, she stepped on a handful of grass, and with strength on her feet, she climbed up a little bit with difficulty, but for the last ten centimeters, she could no longer climb up. …

In that position, she could only grab it with her hands and step on it with her feet. She didn't know whether it was because of fear or cold. Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. She persisted like this for dozens of seconds. Her fingers were sore and weak, and her tears mixed with the rain kept flowing. …

Then a pair of hands stretched out from in front of him.

"Ah sneeze..."

Yi Xiaoqing was wearing Zhao Yue'e's clothes and sitting by the stove. The firewood was burning brightly, and the radiated temperature made her feel a lot more comfortable. Zhao Yue'e next to her didn't say anything to comfort her. She just brought some persimmons from home and asked her if she wanted to eat them.

Yi Xiaoqing secretly glanced at Yi Yang who was helping her wash clothes in the other corner of the hall, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he reached out to save her from despair when he was at his most desperate... Then he came back to his senses, He shook his head at Zhao Yue'e, looked weak and his voice was a little hoarse, and said: "Thank you, I don't want to eat..."

Zhao Yue'e's parents went out to work again, and she was the only one at home. After the two of them found Yi Xiaoqing by the bridge, they felt sorry for her when they saw her in such a mess. Yi Xiaoqing begged not to send her back, so Zhao Yue'e naturally couldn't make up her mind. Yi Yang thought about it and sent her here.

Yi Yang washed Yi Xiaoqing's clothes and wrung them dry, then took them to the stove to bake them. He did not blame her during the whole process. After doing all this, he slowly sat down opposite Yi Xiaoqing and said, "Okay, let's talk about your affairs now."

Yi Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, and when he was about to say something, Yi Yang took a piece of toilet paper and handed it over, "Your nose is running down, wipe it."

"You are in a very bad situation now. In order to find you, almost all of us surnamed Yi went out. The search scope is not limited to Yanzi Township, but also to several nearby townships. I think if we can't find you, there will be more in this area. Expanding further... Of course, this is not the worst. The worst thing is that your mother, you should be able to imagine her current mood... Of course, it is not blindly angry, but a large part of the emotion is... sad. "

Yi Yang sat there with a calm tone, "But I can tell you with certainty that when your mother sees you, she will become even more angry soon. I believe you can understand this. "

Zhao Yue'e glanced at Yi Yang and Yi Xiaoqing curiously, then opened the stove and looked at the potatoes burning inside.

Yi Xiaoqing sneezed again and lowered his head at Yi Yang's voice.

"There's something else I want to tell you. I can understand you, and I know where your impulse to do this comes from. But I also want to tell you that this is stupid. Why is it stupid? Next I will Let me analyze it for you.”

"Next, you can't continue to run away from home. I don't want you to do that, because you probably realize that the prerequisite for running away from home is to be independent, at least to be able to support yourself. Without independence, running away from home is Stupid. My suggestion is, when you go home, apologize to your cousin. We will be there, and some elders in the family will also be there to persuade your mother, so the scene will not be ugly. Your second uncle and the others are already trying to persuade you. Mother. And next, you have to learn to be patient until you are independent and can challenge your mother. If you don't like staying at home, you can find a reason, such as asking Zhao Yue'e to guide you in your homework, and come here without seeing your heart. Don’t be bothered…”

Zhao Yue'e was a little confused and raised her head.

How can you persuade people like this...

"You have no way to change your mother, so you can only endure it until you are independent. I will not use moral kidnapping to persuade you to do something like other elders. Just remember these words. If you say it, It will also bring me some trouble, and I don’t think you will do that. You are very tired today, and you are probably scared too, so leave the rest to me."

After a pause, Yi Yang sighed, "I am your cousin."

Yi Xiaoqing's mind once again flashed back to the hands he stretched out when he was most desperate, and then she shed tears silently.

I am your cousin...
