Zhuo Lan's reaction was within the expectations of the adults.

He couldn't see Alex, and he panicked at once, and ran to every room and yard looking for someone.Finding no one, he tried to run outside.But the host's couple kept staring at him, seeing that he was about to go out, so they carried him back into the house.

Zhuo Lan was so flustered that she burst into tears, but after being carried back, she couldn't help it anymore and cried loudly.

This level is even more heart-piercing than the day before.The two adults in the family couldn't coax him no matter what, so they had to accompany him and let him play.They also brought snacks, water and cloth towels to wipe and feed Zhuo Lan from time to time, lest he faint from crying.Zhuo Lan was also very obedient when she cried, she would only howl in place and would not cause any damage to the things at home.And apart from shouting at the beginning that he wanted to go to Alex, he didn't make any appeals later, and was just sad by himself.

The two adults felt uncomfortable, but they had no other choice but to endure it.They don't have any experience in raising children, so they can only be thankful that Zhuo Lan didn't act violently other than crying, otherwise they would really be at a loss.

Same as the day before, Zhuo Lan cried until almost noon, then she didn't have the strength to continue, she just sat there numbly with swollen eyes.

He didn't say he wanted to leave, and he didn't say he wanted Alex again, he behaved like a little puppet.The couple thought he had given up, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Although Zhuo Lan has been silent all the time, as long as they spend more time together, the two adults are confident that they can make him like this place.

Zhuo Lan cried so much that she missed breakfast, and then the hostess fed her lunch and dinner one bite at a time.

There was no way, he was so stupid that he didn't even take the initiative to eat and drink.The adults feel distressed when they see it, so they always scoop it up for him in small bites and feed him to his mouth.Zhuo Lan would open his mouth somewhat numbly, then chew and swallow slowly.After a few mouthfuls, he couldn't swallow anymore.

The hostess has been paying attention to his movements and asked, "Are you full?"

Zhuo Lan nodded slowly, but still swallowed the mouthful.

The hostess was a little worried. She felt that Zhuo Lan's food intake was too small, and the meal on the first night was barely okay.In the next two days, even though I was affected by my mood, my appetite was too much like a kitten's, so I couldn't do that.

According to Alex, Zhuo Lan's body size is much different from his age, and it will take some effort for him to catch up.

But Zhuo Lan is still immersed in the mood of parting, and the adults don't plan to force him to do something now.

That's it for the day.

The hostess accompanied Zhuo Lan to bed, and asked him if he wanted to sleep with the adults.Zhuo Lan shook his head, so he went back to the room where he had lived with Alex before, lay down and fell asleep.

It wasn't until he stopped moving and took a long breath that the hostess left the room.

……

The bright moon is in the sky, and everything is silent.

Zhuo Lan quietly got up, put on her clothes, and turned her head to camouflage the quilt on the bed a little—although adults can probably see something wrong with their faces, but a child doesn't think so much—then lightly Push open the door.

Diagonally opposite his room is the room of the master and his wife, who are also sleeping now, and the door is closed.Zhuo Lan went out of her room, slowly closed the door, and walked out of the room almost silently through the corridor and living room.

The moonlight was bright, and the light and shadow shone on the ground, making this night look very bright.But no matter how bright the night is, this should not be the time for a child to go outside.

But Zhuo Lan just went out.

He looks very young, innocent and cute, very well-behaved, and ignorant of worldly affairs.But in fact, he would open all the doors, get out of the courtyard easily, and turn around to close the courtyard door.He still remembered where he came from three days ago, so he took the first step without hesitation.

Borrowing the moonlight, he walked quickly, even ran, on the street without hesitation.

He was afraid that the couple in the yard would wake up in the middle of the night, go to see him in the room, and then find out that he was missing, and come out to look for him.He's just a kid, and if grown-ups come after him right away, he'll be caught.

The couple were good people, Zhuo Lan could feel their kindness, but he had more important things in his heart.

He still wants to find Alex.

Zhuo Lan was quiet for a long time, and silently made a decision in his heart, he was going to catch up with Alex.

He was still so young, and he didn't know that once the adult Alex left, it would be extremely difficult for a child to catch up.He only knew that Alex changed the route for him, so he should still follow the way he came for a while.And Alex will rest on the road, if Zhuo Lan rests less and inquires more, maybe he can find out his news and catch up with him.

This is all a child's thinking. Adults may think it is ridiculous, but children don't think so.

Zhuo Lan just thought that if he set off as soon as possible and speeded up his pace, he could catch up with Alex earlier.

He walked through the deserted streets, listening to the hooting of the owls, and felt no fear, nor did he care to be afraid.He didn't think about how many dangers a child would encounter if he went out like this.

He even crossed the town quickly and ran out of the town.

There is a little wilderness outside the town, and then the forest.Even on such a bright moonlit night, the distant forest looked so dark, like a hideous beast ready to devour.

Zhuo Lan stood outside the small town, looking in the direction of the forest, and swallowed.

Until this moment, the little child felt a little hesitation.

He looked back at the town, and suddenly began to think about whether he should wait until dawn before continuing.

But after dawn, the adults will definitely chase it out.Zhuo Lan thought about it for a while, and decided to hide in the forest first.

He knew the forest was dangerous, but he and Alex had experienced a lot in the forest together, and he felt that he should be able to avoid these dangers-of course, this was an illusion.

In any case, Zhuo Lan set off in the direction of the forest.

His plan was to go to the outskirts of the forest first, find a place to hide, and sleep for a night.When it was dawn, he could start again.He can judge the direction according to the position of the sun, and he can find some edible fruits and grass blades.In any case, there is always a way.

Death was only in his mind for a moment, but he was too young to understand death very well.

He was once frightened by the tragic scene of death and lost his memory. The memory loss made him forget the sad things, and also made him forget the fear of death.

Little children, shuttle in the wilderness.

He felt that there was nothing in the wilderness, and the moonlight was so bright that there was nothing to be afraid of.But what he didn't know was that even outside the forest, danger was everywhere.

Certain beasts, when very hungry, will leave the forest to feed where they are not usually.One can defeat them and defend against them, but not while sleeping.Therefore, every house in the small town is very strong, and the courtyard walls are not low. Some people even build stone houses for livestock to ensure that everyone can stay in a safe place at night.

Zhuo Lan hasn't learned this yet.

He just strode forward according to his plan.He felt urgent and anxious. On the one hand, he wanted to catch up with Alex, and on the other hand, he wanted to avoid the adults chasing him.

And as the dark forest got closer, the fear in Zhuo Lan's heart became more and more obvious.Although he was still quite a distance away from the forest, the shadow of the forest seemed to have shone on him.

At some point, the tears started rolling down again.

His eyes were still swollen, but it was not difficult for him to cry.Thinking about the disappearance of the person I trusted and relied on with all my heart, and seeing the increasingly terrifying forest, it is not surprising that a child who is alone will cry.

Zhuo Lan's eyes were covered with tears, but he just wiped them with his sleeve, without stopping.

He knew that too many noises could not be made in the forest, and he even covered his mouth with his hand to make his actions quieter.

He just kept walking like this.

The forest looked very close, but he had been walking for a long time and hadn't arrived yet.The little Zhuo Lan walked up to her legs and her legs were numb, and her steps slowed down uncontrollably, but she showed no sign of stopping.His willpower sustains him.The wind blew across the wilderness, and the weeds made a rustling sound, which he completely ignored.

He also ignored another voice.

Until a pair of hands suddenly picked him up.

"!!!" Zhuo Lan didn't realize it until he was in the air, subconsciously struggling in panic.But the familiar voice sounded in his ear, making him quiet all at once.

The voice said, "You can really run, little one."

Zhuo Lan turned his head suddenly, and the moonlight made him see the other person's face clearly: "Alex!"

Xiao Zhuolan felt that he was dreaming. He was chasing Alex. How could Alex appear in front of him like this?But he didn't doubt the other person at all, so looking at the blond man, the tears in Zhuo Lan's eyes instantly increased.

He hugged Alex and burst into tears.

Because Alex was safe around him, Zhuo Lan didn't have to worry about any danger, and he didn't have to endure it.His tense mood immediately relaxed, merged with the extreme joy of seeing Alex, and turned into tears to vent.

Alex didn't say anything, just hugged him and started to walk back.

Just go in the direction of the town.

Zhuo Lan noticed it right away, he immediately struggled and cried, "Don't go back! Don't go back!"

"It's not safe outside at night," Alex said. "The beasts stay out of town."

"I'm not going back! You're going to put me there again!" Zhuo Lan struggled desperately, "I don't want to stay there, I want to be with you!"

Alex said: "We are indeed together."

"Together forever? Won't you leave me?"

"..." Alex didn't answer right away, Zhuo Lan's hand holding his clothes tightened for a moment.

"If you keep me there again, I will still run out!" Zhuo Lan said loudly while crying, "They can't lock me up forever, as long as I have a chance, I will run out! I I will find you, I will find you one day!"

"...you can come to me when you grow up." Alex said, "but not now."

"It's now, I don't want to grow up!" Zhuo Lan said, "If you want to take me back, put me down now! I'm not going anywhere!"

Alex heard that he had been making trouble for no reason, and his tone became strict: "Zhuo Lan, I thought you were an obedient child."

"I'm not!" Zhuo Lan said, "If you want to throw obedient children to others, then I'm not!"

Alex frightened him severely: "I don't like disobedient children."

Zhuo Lan's temper also came up: "If you don't like it, you don't like it! If you don't like it...I want to follow you!"

His words were supposed to be powerful, but he kept crying, interrupting his words with gasps, making him look particularly pitiful.

Alex closed his eyes and said coldly, "You're just a child, you can't keep up with me."

"Don't worry about it!" Zhuo Lan struggled, "Let me go, I can take care of myself, don't worry about me!"

"You don't understand how important a family is to you..."

"I don't understand! I'm just a kid!"

Zhuo Lan pushed him hard: "You don't understand me, you just think it's good for me, but I don't think it's really good. If you don't want me, don't care about me, don't care where I go !"

Alex actually put him down.

Zhuo Lan didn't go there either, just staring at him like this.It seems that wherever Alex goes, he must follow.

Alex lifted his foot and started walking in the direction of the town.

Zhuo Lan hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

Alex walked unhappily, but Zhuo Lan was still far behind.On the one hand, it was because Xiao Zhuolan was tired and couldn't keep up, and on the other hand, it was because he didn't want to get too close.

He even made a decision that if Alex came into town, he wouldn't follow.

Otherwise, there is no point in running away.He would rather wait outside and wait for Alex to come out.

The kid didn't know there was another way out of this town, and his thinking was too simple, but he made his decision.

Alex also noticed that Zhuo Lan was getting further and further away.

He stumbled and didn't stop, and Alex knew that his physical strength had reached its limit.

Because Alex kept looking at him.

In fact, on this day, Alex did not leave at all.

It was also the first time that Zhuo Lan knew about this as an adult.
