At this time, a pleasant female voice sounded on the station broadcast to remind: "Nanguang Station is coming. Passengers who get off at Nanguang Station, please pack your luggage and go to both ends of the carriage to get off. Nanguang Station is coming."

Naturally, the sleeping berths will not get off at Nanguang. After arriving at the station, the toilets on the bus are temporarily closed, and there are fewer people walking around. They all sit in twos and threes by the aisle and talk.

Yuan Ning's heart pounded when he heard the word "Nanguang". He leaned on the window and looked out, not daring to blink, and kept identifying strange faces outside the window.Boom, boom, boom, he held his breath slightly, not daring to let the man with glasses see the anticipation in his eyes.How he wanted to see Cousin Yuan Bo again!

The day before yesterday, Yuan Bo and his second uncle set off together to sell the fruits in Nanguang, and then bought some fresh goods to sell in the market.This was the second aunt's idea. The second aunt is the most capable and has many ideas, so although the second uncle has a bad temper, he has always listened to her.It's been two days, the fruit should have been sold out, and the goods should have arrived, maybe Yuan Bo just happened to be taking the car home - he just happened to get on the train at the opposite platform!

Knowing that this possibility is very small, Yuan Ning is still unwilling to look away.It took about 10 minutes for the train to stop, and when it was close to 10 minutes, there were fewer people walking up to the platform from the underground passage.

The train whistle sounded, the body shook slightly, and drove forward.Suddenly, Yuan Ning straightened his back and stared straight at the entrance of the platform.He saw it!He saw Yuan Bo!Yuan Bo was wearing a white vest and dark blue shorts, the same as the day he left for Nanguang!

But the train has already left.

Yuan Ning jumped off the bed, put on his shoes and ran out.Yuan Bo kept walking backwards, but the train kept going forward. He ran to the window between the two carriages, stretched his neck, and looked out with wide eyes, but he couldn't see Yuan Bo's figure anymore.

The train left the station and drove faster and faster, the platform was gone, Yuan Bo was gone, there were only high-rise buildings passing by in a hurry.

The man with glasses frowned and followed, seeing Yuan Ning standing there like a statue, neither crying nor making trouble, just quietly looking out the window.The man with glasses said, "Don't run around."

Yuan Ning whispered, "I have to go to the bathroom, so I'm waiting here."

It happened that the conductor came over, took out the key and opened the toilet door.Yuan Ning didn't look at the man with glasses, and squeezed past the man with glasses relying on his short stature, got into the toilet and closed the door.

The man with glasses frowned even more when he smelled the smell coming out of the toilet just now, and turned back to the carriage.He was not afraid of Yuan Ning running away, the train was driving, Yuan Ning couldn't get off the train, and a six-year-old child didn't know the place, where could he go?

Yuan Ning didn't want to run away either.He hid in the toilet, but he didn't want to see the man with glasses temporarily.

He pulled out the red rope hanging around his neck, and at the end of the red rope he played with a two-finger-wide jade pendant. The jade pendant was engraved with a picture of fish playing with spring eyes.

It was passed down from his grandmother to his mother.

In the past, his parents were always busy, and they often left him alone in the school dormitory, and his mother tied the jade pendant with a red string and hung it around his neck, as if she was accompanying him.Now that his mother is gone and left his hometown, only this jade pendant will be by his side in the future.

Yuan Ning sucked his nose hard, but tears still fell down.He cried sadly, but he didn't notice the faint light on the jade pendant, he just held it tightly.

Yuan Ning didn't feel the pain until the fish fin on the jade pendant pierced his finger.Yuan Ning looked down, but saw that the jade pendant was stained with blood, the whole jade pendant gradually turned red, and when he looked closely, the jade pendant disappeared from his palm!

It's really gone!

Yuan Ning had never heard of such a thing, and was at a loss for a while.

Yuan Ning was even more sad when he regained his composure and looked at the empty red rope again.He was at a loss when he heard the voices of other passengers talking outside: "Why don't you come out?"

Obviously a little impatient.

With a shake of his hand, Yuan Ning took the red rope off his neck and carefully put it in his pocket.The jade pendant has disappeared, and all he has left is the rope. When he gets there, he will wrap it around the bank card given by his second aunt and hide it, so he can't lose it again.

Yuan Ning opened the toilet door and timidly looked at the people outside.Seeing that he was so young, the others calmed down and made way for him to return to the carriage.Yuan Ning looked for the sleeper berths one by one, and when he reached the sixth one, he saw the man with glasses reading a newspaper there.

There were fresh fruits and milk on the table. Seeing Yuan Ning's confused face, the man with glasses said, "The ones from the morning are not fresh. Nanguang station has replaced them with new ones, so I shared them with others in the morning."

I just bought it in the morning, why is it not fresh?Yuan Ning didn't speak, and crawled onto the bed with hands and feet, still didn't touch the fruit, just lay on the bed and covered the quilt, turned his back to the man with glasses, and stared at the snow-white car wall with wide eyes.The bed was a little small for an adult, but big for a six-year-old who curled up and huddled himself into a ball as he lay.

Yuan Ning gradually fell asleep as the train swayed away.He subconsciously grabbed the jade pendant on his chest, trying to grab the jade pendant left by his mother, but only realized that it was gone after he grabbed the hem of his clothes. His heart was empty, and he didn't know whether it was sadness or fear.A burst of drowsiness struck, Yuan Ning put his head against the pillow and closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Ning felt something biting his finger, lowered his head to look carefully, but saw a fish biting his finger.The fish's fins are sharp, its scales are bright, and its fish eyes are very spiritual, it seems that it has been seen there before.It has no teeth in its mouth, it just sucks his finger and doesn't let it go.

Yuan Ning was taken aback.

How can there be fish on the train?He looked up and found that the surroundings were no longer narrow sleepers, and his eyes were wide open.The fish flicked its tail, and a spiritual spring appeared on the ground, and the clear spring water gushed out.The fish jumped into the spring and played and swam around the spring, so lively.Yuan Ning remembered, isn't this the jade pendant his mother left him?The jade pendant is still there, and he said that it came in his dream!

Yuan Ning knelt down by the Lingquan, and reached out to explore the clear spring water.The fish noticed his movement and swam over again, sucking Yuan Ning's finger.As the fish sucked, the tingling pain on Yuan Ning's finger disappeared, as did the small wound.

Yuan Ning was still young, so he just felt strange and even moved when he encountered such a thing.He felt that the fish was called by his mother to accompany him, so he no longer felt sad, and said happily, "Thank you, little fish!"

The fish seemed to understand, flicked its tail, and swam to the spiritual spring again.

Yuan Ning lay on the edge of the spring and watched.

Suddenly, he found that the spring water appeared black and turbid, and the turbidity was going around to the fish, as if it was going to swallow the fish inside!

Yuan Ning was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Be careful!"

Yuan Ning suddenly opened his eyes.

The Lingquan is gone, the fish is gone, but Yuan Ning's heart is still hanging high.If the black thing swallows the fish, will the fish be in danger?There must be danger!It must be because of danger that the fish came to his dream.

Yuan Ning sat up, raised his hand to look at his stabbed finger, and found that there was no wound on it.That dream is true!

How can he help the fish?

Yuan Ning glanced at the fruit and milk on the table.It was Yu'er who healed his injury, and Yu'er wanted him to be well.Now he is too young to know where he will go, so the fish will not say what trouble he has encountered.He has to be healthy and grow up quickly, otherwise he will not be able to help the fish come to him again.

Yuan Ning picked up the milk on the table and drank it.

The man with glasses put down the newspaper and looked at Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning obediently drank the milk, ate another orange, put on her shoes, threw away the milk box and the orange peel, and then sat back on the bed.He looked at the man with glasses sitting opposite, and asked, "Uncle, can you tell me who wants to adopt me?"

The man with glasses looked at him without saying a word.

Yuan Ning was not discouraged: "I always need to know how to call someone."

The man with glasses only gave him two words: "The surname is Zhang."

Yuan Ning didn't know how to ask further.

Thinking of Yuan Ning's pitiful appearance curled up on the bed, the man with glasses softened his heart, and said a few more words: "When you get there, there will be two older brothers and one older sister. The eldest brother Zhang Xiuyan is like Mr. Zhang, and he doesn't talk much. The second sister Zhang Xiuling is like Ms. Xue, she has a soft temper and is very kind to everyone; the third brother Zhang Xiuwen is like you and was adopted by Ms. Xue. She is smart, cute and very likable. Mr. Zhang is fair, and Ms. Xue is kind, as long as you don't cause trouble, no one will embarrass you."

Yuan Ning firmly memorized the words of the man with glasses, feeling a little uneasy.I thought the family would adopt him because they had no children, but they already had three children—then why did they adopt him?Yuan Ning wanted to ask a few more questions, but saw the man in glasses pick up the newspaper and read it again, obviously he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Yuan Ning could only swallow all the words.

No matter how anxious you are, what should come will still come.One day and one night passed, and at eight or nine o'clock on the second day, shortly after the sun rose, the train began to announce the station, saying that it had arrived at the terminal.Yuan Ning put all the remaining fruits on the table into his bag and took them with him, and got out of the car after the man with glasses.

The man with glasses glanced at Yuan Ning and wanted him to throw the fruit away, but he didn't say anything in the end.After passing the exit, the man with glasses saw a boy of about 12 years old holding a sign with a cold face, on which was written "Jie Yuan Ning" in three big square characters, and next to the boy was a girl of about ten years old , wearing a red plaid skirt with a white background and a red woolen jacket, very cute.

If this is not the son and daughter of that person, who is it?

The man with glasses took Yuan Ning's hand and walked over.

There was still no expression on the boy's face, but when he saw the man with glasses reaching out to hold Yuan Ning, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.His father's assistant has always been a bit of a clean freak, and he has to wipe his hands after shaking hands with others, so he would take the initiative to hold the child?The boy's eyes fell on Yuan Ning beside him.

really short.

The boy put away the sign.

The girl had already run up and said, "Ah! Are you Ning Ning? I'll be here at seven o'clock!" She grabbed Yuan Ning's hand, felt that Yuan Ning's hand was soft and comfortable to hold, and boasted happily, "Ningning, you are cuter than in the photo! Mom originally wanted to come here in person, but after the spring, my mother was not in good health, so my eldest brother brought me to pick you up. Are you cold, Ningning? Are you hungry?"

Yuan Ning understood that this was Zhang Xiuling who was "good to everyone".

The one next to him who has been silent must be Zhang Xiuyan who "always ignores people".

Yuan Ning's lips moved, but he still couldn't call out "big brother" and "sister".

Zhang Xiuyan glanced at him and said, "Let's go."
