Play bone

"Here I will explain a little bit."

Zhang Xia cleared her throat and temporarily interrupted her memories.

"Although I was also in the difficult class that day, I was not in charge of Wu Sheng's class. But I heard that those men were driving a luxury car and their clothes looked very elegant. And they not only recognized Wu Sheng , I can call him by name, and even know his mother's name very clearly... In fact, Wu Sheng's head teacher also heard some rumors, and at that time thought it was someone sent by Wu Sheng's father, so he didn't think much about it , directly handed over the person.”

All in all, when Chen Zhong arrived, the car just drove away slowly.In this case, the normal approach should probably be to call the hospital first, check the situation with the elderly, and then call the police if necessary.

However, Chen Zhong's reaction was different, because he suddenly remembered a sentence that the old man repeated over and over just now——

She said that she was knocked down by a black car without a license plate.

Everything in front of him overlapped with the old man's nagging, and Chen Zhong suddenly realized that things were not that simple.He even highly suspected that he had come across a kidnapping incident.

When he came back to his senses, he had already pedaled his bicycle and tried hard to keep up with the suspicious black car.

Recalling this point, Zhang Xia stopped again.

"I have also asked my guy more than once what he was thinking at the time. He said that he didn't think about anything at the beginning; after he slowed down while riding, he thought of calling the police, but he felt that chasing would be impossible. After chasing, it’s a pity to give up halfway. So he chased and struggled, and soon arrived at the entrance of the town. The car started to speed up after leaving the town, and he was thrown away after a few strokes.”

Seeing the vehicle go away without a trace, Chen Zhong did not give up, because there were still fresh ruts on the ground.

The cold wave that lasted for several days has pushed the temperature on the ground below zero, and the heavy snow fell on the ground, and a layer of whiteness can be accumulated in a blink of an eye.

In this kind of ghostly weather, there are very few vehicles entering and leaving the town, and the fresh ruts are even more eye-catching under the street lights.However, according to the current snow conditions, maybe half an hour later, the ruts are likely to be covered with snow and become invisible.

Chen Zhong wanted to at least find out whether the black car was on the highway or going to Linzhen, so he chased along the rut for a while, and rode along the path to the mountain in one breath.

Strange to say, he saw the black car again, because it was parked on the side of the road halfway up the mountain.

Chen Zhong was born and raised in the town, so he knew that the mountain was desolate and uninhabited at that time.He hid his bicycle and was about to approach the car to check the situation when he heard creaking footsteps.

It was those two tall men in black walking back from the woods!

Chen Zhong quickly hid behind the bushes on the side of the road.He saw the two men get back into the car, start the car and leave quickly.Soon, darkness returned to the woods again.

Vaguely guessing what happened just now, Chen Zhong's heart beat faster.He unplugged the key chain inserted in the car lock, used the miniature flashlight on it to illuminate, and walked along the footprints in the woods.I don't know how many meters I walked, but it felt like I made several turns and finally came to an open area in the forest.

In the white snow, he saw the abandoned Wu Sheng.

"At that time, the child was probably given sleeping pills in the car, and he just lay quietly in the snow. If he arrived late, he might have died."

As a mother, Zhang Xia couldn't help but sigh: "What a crime."

Chen Zhong immediately hugged Wu Sheng horizontally.A seven-year-old child is said to be quite young, but also unconscious, and even more dead.Chen Zhong was originally not very tall, and with a child in his arms, he was braving the heavy wind and snow, making it difficult for him to move.

In a blink of an eye, it was around [-]:[-] pm, and the wind and snow were howling, and it seemed that it was going to intensify; the footprints in the snow soon became blurred and unrecognizable.But the child on the back still didn't respond at all.Chen Zhong was anxious, but fortunately he was cornered by him and found a small wooden house where the flower field workers temporarily piled firewood.

He hid behind Wu Sheng's back and closed the door.There was not much firewood in the cabin, just enough for him to light a small bonfire with a lighter.

The temperature in the small room rose slowly, and he melted some snow water to feed Wu Sheng.After waiting for about ten minutes, the boy finally woke up.

"Hey, speaking of which, this child is really lucky and lucky. A lucky person has his own destiny."

Having said that, Zhang Xia stopped temporarily, got up and went to the kitchen to pour water for herself.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the others immediately looked at Shen Xingxuan in unison.

"...I'm fine."

Shaking his head, Shen Xingze felt his forehead was a little cool, he reached out to touch it, and his palm was soaked again.

He blinked in bewilderment, and a flash of alternating black and white, occasionally mixed with spots like snowflakes, flashed through his mind.The too strong contrast stimulation made him cover his head and arch his body.

Lu Li hurried forward to comfort him, just happened to see Zhang Xia walking back with a glass of water, and happened upon this scene.

"Mr. Li, are you okay?" She called out Shen Xingze's pseudonym, of course.

"It's okay, just a little hypoglycemia."

Shen Xingze raised his head and smiled at her: "Please continue."

Zhang Xia hurriedly brought some chocolates over.After letting Shen Xing choose to eat it, he sat back on the chair again.

------

Outside the wooden house, the wind and snow were still howling.The firewood in the house is limited, and it may not last for a few hours.Chen Zhong knew that he had to find his way back to the town before then.

"Wu Sheng's condition was very bad at that time. Although he woke up, he was still in a daze because of the effect of the medicine. My husband knew that he couldn't take the child with him. He had to run out to ask for help."

"Leave the child alone in that kind of place?" Goudan couldn't help questioning.

Zhang Xia froze for a moment, showing a slightly embarrassed smile.

"But at that time, there was really no other choice... Besides, although Wu Sheng was young, he was very sensible, and promised to wait quietly until rescue came."

"..."

No one objected anymore, only Lu Li noticed that the candy wrapper in Shen Xingze's hands made a slight rustling sound.

What even Lu Li didn't know was that, between the black and white in Shen Xingze's mind, the flying snowflakes became more and more dense, and slowly turned into real snow.

Not only the picture, but also the sound.

The howling of wind and snow, the beeping of burning dry branches, and the sound of a child terrified.

"No...don't go! I'm afraid, please don't leave me alone!"

Accompanied by this cry, the corner of the black and white world began to reveal a bright golden red—it was the bonfire in the wooden house; it was also like a scene of a car accident in the middle of the night, a mixture of red police lights, street lights and car lights color.

"No...Xiao Li, this is not true, don't go, don't leave me alone..."

Two voices from the past are mixed together.Shen Xing chose to fight a few cold wars, and the chills rushed in again.

Then the fire was extinguished, and the snowflakes began to dance again.He blinked, and found that the bonfire in the wooden house in front of him had been extinguished, and he pushed open the door to the outside world.

It was still night outside, but the surroundings were unexpectedly bright.

The night sky is showing a strange blood red color, just like the embers of the bonfire that was just extinguished in the wooden house - looking down, the street lights and neon lights of the big city are shining together, and the snow-covered streets are deserted, There is only one bus station.

There seemed to be someone sitting in the station, but now it was empty.

Shen Xingze shook his head in confusion, and the city suddenly turned into a forest of ice and snow, with the crisp sound of branches being broken by the snow everywhere.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the howling north wind and the heavy snow, which kept beating on his body.

No matter forward or backward, there is only boundless cold and loneliness, but "forward" seems to have more self-comforting meaning.So Shen Xing chose to take a step forward, heading towards the direction of the small town that he subconsciously identified.But what he didn't know was that he was drifting away.

For a seven-year-old child, this winter night was too cruel.The ice and snow had frostbitten his cheeks and ears, and cracked his lips.What was even more frightening was that the cold was still alienating him from within, depriving him of control over his body.

For so many years, the only hands and feet that have cooperated with him tacitly and never left him, are now starting to go against his wishes, and even disappear from his perceptual world, no matter how panicked, anxious or angry he is, it will not help.

Imitating the appearance of an adult, Shen Xingze tried to stomp his feet and breath into his palms, but the warmth was fleeting.He also tried yelling for help, but that only caused more heat to be lost faster.

More and more coldness is still eroding his brain, making his thinking become a small fish trapped in the ice sea, turning around in circles in the freezing despair.

It may sound ridiculous, but he did recall Chen Zhong's appearance over and over again in his heart, praying that this face would suddenly appear from this snow-white and blood-red world, and bring him out of the predicament like an angel.

However, things backfired until he carved this face into the depths of his subconscious, but in the real world he was still alone, with boundless loneliness.

The body that was slowly losing control was like a machine that was gradually failing, leading him to stagger forward several hundred meters in the woods, until a small piece of snow under his feet suddenly collapsed, and he fell into the A big black pit.

Perhaps it was because of the snow, or maybe it was because of the freezing, but the expected pain did not appear.What's even more strange is that when the cold reaches the extreme, the body warms up quickly.

Not only that, but the snow in the sky and on the ground also began to disappear.

The dead trees in the forest sprouted new shoots and became lush in an instant; the ground was covered with soft green grass; there was even the chirping of crickets and golden bells.

The once-standstill clock suddenly skipped two seasons.Shen Xingze, who came back to his senses, found that at some point he was standing outside the pit that he fell into just now.

He took half a step cautiously towards the edge of the pit, and found a man in a military training camouflage uniform standing at the bottom of the pit.That young and handsome man looks a bit like Chen Zhong, but he is a thousand times more dazzling than Chen Zhong.He smiled at Shen Xingze, then stretched out his hands for help——

"Hey, my classmate, my foot seems to be twisted. Can you do me a favor and fish me up?"

Shen Xingze stretched out his hand.He didn't know if he knew it at the time - in fact, from this moment on, he would never let go.

"Star Selection! Star Selection!"

Someone whispered in his ear again.

Shen Xingze raised his head from his trance again.The night turned into day, and what came into view was a snow-white ward and a mother in a red dress.

He blinked again, and the red color disappeared, replaced by Lu Li's worried face.

As if to confirm that the person in front of him was not an illusion, Shen Xing chose to gently touch Lu Li's cheek with his bandaged hand.

Although the wound no longer hurts, for some reason, there is still a sore and sweet feeling extending from the fingertips to the heart.

But it wasn't the cramping that had plagued him for a while, it was another harmless, reassuring feeling.

"I am back."

Shen Xingze suddenly felt that only this sentence could properly express his mood at the moment - although it was a bit strange, he believed that Lu Li would definitely understand.

Sure enough, Lu Li reached out and took Shen Xingze's hand, and pressed it against his cheek.

"Welcome back."

He said softly, accompanied by a smile like a spring breeze.
