Chapter 722 I'm Looking for a Child
Under the guidance of Cheng Jinnian, they walked for more than an hour and finally arrived at a civilian area.
The houses here are short and shabby, looking even worse than those in their village.
The houses in their village were dilapidated but very spacious. Unlike these houses, each one was small and looked very cramped.
According to the address provided by Liu Wei, they came to a house.
"Is it here? It should be here, right?"
Jiang Wan looked around the house and asked with some confusion.
Cheng Jinnian checked the house number again before confirming it.
"This is the right place. Wait, I'll knock on the door."
Cheng Jinnian walked up and knocked on the door gently, but no one answered.
"Why is there no one here again?"
Cheng Jinnian frowned in confusion, and his heart suddenly felt a little uneasy.
The last time I went looking for the boss, I arrived at the place and found him empty-handed.
I'm here to look for the boss again this time, but I still can't find him?
Cheng Jinnian knocked several times and the same thing happened every time.
Jiang Wan was still able to remain calm, but Cheng Jinnian was already getting a little restless.
He knocked on the door faster and knocked until it was deafening.
Even so, no one answered in the house, which instead attracted the neighbors to come out.
"What are you arguing about? Why are you knocking on the door so hard? If someone is in the room, it would have opened it long ago. If it wasn't opened, wouldn't it mean that no one is there?"
The other party spoke Cantonese and talked a lot.
Before Cheng Jinnian could answer, the door to the other room opened again.
"The old man in this house has gone to buy groceries, the young man has gone to work, and the youngest has gone to school. Even if you knock a hole in the door, no one will come to open it for you."
Jiang Wan doesn't speak Cantonese, but Cheng Jinnian can understand it.
It was just because when I was in the army before, there happened to be someone from Guangdong Province.
It seems that the comrade can't speak Mandarin and speaks Cantonese every day.
In order to understand what he meant, everyone was forced to learn a lot of Cantonese.
Cheng Jinnian originally thought that these things would be useless, but he didn't expect that they would be useful here.
Cheng Jinnian organized his words and immediately asked in broken Cantonese.
"Then may I ask the two aunties, when will the people next door come back?"
"She just went out for a while. She'll probably be out for at least an hour."
Cheng Jinnian nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked a few other questions.
Finally he asked, "So, is there a little boy of seven or eight years old in this family?"
When Cheng Jinnian asked this question, he saw everyone hesitated and their faces changed. He felt that something was wrong and that something big might happen.
Sure enough, the aunts who were chatting with him just now suddenly became alert.
"Why are you asking this? What is your purpose for coming here?"
"You don't seem like a good person to pry into other people's privacy."
Cheng Jinnian listened to them scolding him calmly, and only started to explain after they finished scolding.
"It's like this, that child is my long-lost son, and I came here this time just to find him back."
Cheng Jinnian decided to be honest with them, but he didn't expect that their faces turned very ugly after hearing what he said.
"Go away, there is no such child here."
"You've come to the wrong place. The person you're looking for isn't here."
The two of them started to chase people away at the same time, and Cheng Jinnian knew that something bad was going to happen.
At least the child's condition is definitely not very good, otherwise they wouldn't be so secretive about it.
Seeing their faces change drastically, Cheng Jinnian's expression also changed.
But he still kept his composure and talked about the specific situation of the child.
"When I was a child, I was deliberately taken away by mistake, and I lived a hard life for many years."
"My own child was sold by that vicious woman. I don't know how much suffering he went through outside."
Cheng Jinnian talked about his tragic past, and the aunts who had just had cold faces could no longer listen.
They never expected that this steel-looking man would actually play the emotional card with them.
If he was unreasonable and rude to them when he didn't get the information he wanted, they would naturally ignore him.
But now he did the opposite and talked about his tragic experience, and they could no longer remain indifferent.
The two looked at each other, and were both moved, but did not speak immediately.
While they were hesitating, the real owner came back.
They saw from afar an old lady carrying a cloth bag hurriedly walking back, and immediately pointed at her and said.
"This is the old lady of this family. If you have any questions, just ask her directly."
"We are all outsiders, and some things are inconvenient to say. If we say too much, it will affect the relationship between neighbors. Can you understand this?"
Cheng Jinnian nodded to show his understanding, and said something else when they were about to leave.
"If I don't get any useful information from that old lady later, I'll have to trouble you again."
Cheng Jinnian said something quickly, and the two looked at each other again without saying anything, but this time they were not as resistant as before.
The main reason was that he was so sincere and pitiful, I just couldn't bear to refuse him.
Cheng Jinnian noticed that although they didn't speak, an old lady nodded quietly before entering the room.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Jinnian immediately understood what was going on.
He suppressed his excitement and walked quickly towards the other old lady.
The old lady walked too fast and accidentally tripped over her right foot with her left foot. Her body leaned forward and she almost fell to the ground.
Cheng Jinnian took a quick step forward and supported her with his quick eyes and hands.
"Auntie, be careful."
The old lady used his help to stand firmly, and when she raised her head, she hurried to thank him.
"Thank you so much, young man. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen badly."
The old lady touched her heart and felt a little scared. The blow just now was too sudden and she almost fell flat on her face.
After thanking her, the old lady was about to go home, but Cheng Jinnian did not leave immediately. Instead, he followed her slowly.
"Young man, haven't I already thanked you? Is there something you've been following me for?"
"Auntie, I didn't follow you on purpose, I was waiting for someone over there."
Cheng Jinnian pointed to a house not far away. When the old lady saw that it was her own home, her face changed immediately.
"Who are you waiting for there?"
The old lady immediately became alert. Cheng Jinnian thought the old lady was a nice person, so he decided to tell her the truth.
"Auntie, I'm not waiting for anyone, just someone in this family."
"I heard that a child was bought from the family a few years ago, so I came here to ask about the situation."
"child……"
When the old lady heard him talking about the child, her face suddenly became even uglier.
"Yes, a little boy whose kidney was dug out and whose body was very weak."
