Dazed

Qi Zheng was consumed in this strange wilderness, the surrounding area was empty, gray mist could be seen everywhere, and the cold wind was blowing, but it changed its initial momentum and became a little gentle, blowing gently Qi Zheng's face and collar, but the cold touch still made people uncomfortable. Qi Zheng shivered suddenly, realizing that something was wrong.

The little boy he threw on the ground was still lying quietly, as if he had fallen asleep. Qi Zheng squatted down and took a closer look. His chest was still heaving, fortunately.

Qi Zheng wandered around for a while, took out the mobile phone in his pocket, the cold light showed a gleam of light in the gray space, and several Arabic numerals were displayed on the scuffed screen: 23:55.

It was already late at night, Qi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, shook his arms, turned around and put the boy on his back again, he turned around, wanting to go back from where he came from.

At this time, there seemed to be some bells in the distance, ding-ring, ding-ring, clear and rhythmic, and after a while, the sound of the bell became clearer and clearer, even mixed with some low-pitched chanting Voice.

Qi Zheng froze, frowned, and stood there with a heavy face, listening to the strange voice, approaching him little by little.

After a while, a large group of people appeared in Qi Zheng's sight, some were playing trumpets, some were beating gongs and drums, and some were walking and wriggling in various clothes. The atmosphere seemed very cheerful.

However, if you take a closer look, you will find that all the people on the road are wearing white mourning clothes, white belts around their waists, and gauze kerchiefs on their heads. The photo frame, and the two immature children next to them are holding a tablet together, and the whole team is advancing quietly in the bleak cold wind, except for the sound of the accompaniment, hardly any sound can be heard.

It's really a combination of quietness and noise, joy and sorrow mixed together, which makes people feel a chill.

Qi Zheng quietly watched the funeral procession pass by him, feeling a little puzzled that there were still funerals in the middle of the night.

When he finally walked back to the original place, through the hazy fog, he could vaguely see a tall shadow standing there. Qi Zheng became excited when he saw it, and shouted: "Cao Jingxing!"

Cao Jingxing turned around, saw Qi Zheng, frowned slightly and let go, his face was a little impatient, and he even asked a little sternly, "Where have you been?"

It's a pity that the night was too dark and Qi Zheng didn't notice it. Hearing this, he replied worriedly: "I'm afraid you can't handle that old pervert alone. I wanted to run to help you, but I didn't expect you to run so fast, I lost track of you."

Hearing this, Cao Jingxing's face softened a little, and he explained lightly: "It doesn't matter, I'm also ashamed."

"That abnormal mana is so strong." Qi Zheng frowned, pondering.

Cao Jingxing shook his head and asked, "Are you not injured?"

Qi Zheng grinned and said, "This little guy just bit me halfway, and I don't know why."

Cao Jingxing's eyes changed, and his gaze swept across Qi Zheng's neck, and said, "Did you bite your neck?"

"Well, you have really good eyes." Qi Zheng replied casually, not noticing Cao Jingxing's face suddenly sank, his eyes were on the child beside him, and he said, "What about this child?"

"Send it to the police station." Cao Jingxing glanced at the child and replied indifferently.

"But he didn't get his soul back, so he will always be like this in the future."

Cao Jingxing blinked, and replied calmly: "A disobedient child should be punished."

This is true, but Qi Zheng still frowned involuntarily. This punishment is too much. It is really not his principle to be a man to say such indifferent words to a child, but there is no better way right now. He can only let his parents worry about it.

By the time the two of them sent the child back to the police station, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. The police on duty at the police station recorded their information and notified the child's parents to pick him up. Finally, the case of the child's disappearance would be over.

Cao Jingxing's wound still needed to be treated. The five or six centimeter long crack was naked, and everyone who saw it couldn't help shivering. Qi Zheng could only make a long story short, trying to explain the child's situation as clearly as possible.

"Well, when we found this child, he was being captured by a very strange person, who seemed to be in some evil way, and then this child became like sleepwalking. I suspect that he was seduced. Can you talk to their parents? Remind me?"

The young policeman raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said, "You mean there is a cult?"

"Well, it's similar." Qi Zheng replied vaguely.

The policeman nodded and said, "Okay, I will tell them. Thanks to your help, this child will not be trafficked."

Qi Zheng waved his hand, turned his head and saw the little boy obediently standing aside, he was already awake, but his eyes were still blank, standing there like a puppet, without any human breath, Qi Zheng felt a little uncomfortable looking at it, Sighing, he walked over and patted the boy on the shoulder. The little boy suddenly moved unexpectedly, and his eyes fell on Qi Zheng, as if thinking a bit.

Qi Zheng knelt down, looked at the boy at the same level, and said in a low voice: "No matter what happens, live your life well, understand?"

The expected silence, sure enough, how could a person whose mind has been sealed off recover so easily? Qi Zheng laughed at himself for his whimsy. He sighed and planned to stand up, but he didn't expect the boy in front of him to gently nod his head. , seems to be responding.

Even Cao Jingxing at the side felt a little unbelievable, and said, "This kid is quite special." He also squatted down, looked at the boy gently, and said, "Do you know what your name is?"

The boy was silent for a while, even his expression didn't change.

Cao Jingxing raised his brows, and said more playfully, "He only responds to your words."

Qi Zheng continued to question the boy, but at this time, the other party didn't even give a slight response, which made people wonder that it was just a coincidence.

"Forget it, I hope his parents can find an expert to help." Qi Zheng had no choice but to give up.

Cao Jingxing glanced at the boy casually. At first he didn't want to do anything, but when he saw Qi Zheng's disappointed expression, he felt a little strange in his heart. He raised his eyes and turned around to talk to the policeman. Qi Zheng stretched out his hand and tapped a little on the boy's cap.

The boy who was in a daze suddenly shook his whole body. He closed his eyes suddenly as if he was suddenly stimulated. When he opened them again, his brows were slightly frowned, as if something was changing.

Cao Jingxing and Qi Zheng turned to leave. Before leaving, he turned his head and looked at the boy who was gradually regaining his senses but was still dazed, his expression remained calm.

The hour hand on the watch had already pointed to twelve o'clock, and the school gate had already been locked. Cao Jingxing asked Qi Zheng to go to the apartment he rented for a night of sleep. Qi Zheng nodded, and the two of them greeted the police on duty and planned to leave The police station, walking in the corridor, suddenly a middle-aged man came out from the front corner, his face looked familiar, Liu Peisheng, who had just turned out to drink water, saw the familiar faces of Qi Zheng and Cao Jingxing, and immediately called them Greeting, said: "Yo, it's you two again, why are you here so late?"

Cao Jingxing stopped, greeted him gently, nodded, and said, "Hello, police officer."

Qi Zheng remembered that this person was the one who had arrested Liang Siyue and interrogated them. One of the policemen in charge of Duan Kouzhi's case had no choice but to respond and said, "I met a missing little boy and sent him here."

"Oh, so," Liu Peisheng nodded, and suddenly said with a smile, "Your girlfriend left at five o'clock this afternoon." Liu Peisheng obviously still remembered the relationship between Liang Siyue and Qi Zheng.

"Oh, okay, thank you." Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, thinking of Liang Siyue, his heart twisted, and his face sank.

Then the policeman turned around and left. Qi Zheng took advantage of his face and continued to walk towards the door. Cao Jingxing beside him was understanding and didn't ask any more questions. He said goodbye to the policeman and followed him out of the police station.

"How's the injury on your hand? You have to go to the hospital for a tetanus shot." Standing at the door, the cold wind was howling, Qi Zheng frowned, feeling a little worried, recalling that Cao Jingxing's injury was blocked for him, he felt a little bit of anxiety in his heart Even more embarrassing.

Hearing Qi Zheng's question, Cao Jingxing smiled wryly and said, "It's really not easy to help others."

"Damn, it's all my fault that I didn't help much, and almost dragged my feet." Qi Zheng's tone was full of self-blame.

Cao Jingxing looked towards the dark place ahead, his eyes became deep, and he replied flatly, "I never mind."
