Zhong Yiqiu has never run so fast in her life, her legs and feet seem to have separated from her body and become a machine that keeps moving forward.His chest was like a drum beating, and the roar was deafening. Every beat of his heart felt like a drumstick hitting his heart, and he couldn't breathe due to the pain.

Whether it was a bumpy dirt road, a foot-wide field path, or a field with crops, he just kept running forward as if he couldn't see it.

Zhong Yiqiu didn't dare to think about any bad possibility, and forced herself to keep thinking "It's okay, it's okay!"

Maybe it was just a child's joke, Zheng Lili was just angry with her parents and hid somewhere, and he was tricked into running like a fool to the river...

When Xiao Mingye finds out when he goes back, he will definitely be angry again, angry at him for being disobedient, running around in such pain, angry at his naivety for listening to children...

Zhong Yiqiu thought, it doesn't matter, just make him some more dumplings to coax him at night...

His brain and body seemed to have been completely separated, his thoughts seemed to be sober associations, but he didn't dare to think badly at all, his body was running fiercely, not daring to stop for half a second.

It usually takes 10 minutes to walk, but he arrived in 10 minutes. Zhong Yiqiu felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he held it in his hands bloody in the next second.

His mind was in a mess, and he didn't know where to start, so he clenched his fists and hit his chest to relieve the pain in his heart.He took a few breaths and started running along the river bank, shouting, "Zheng Lili—"

"Zheng Lili——where are you? I'm Teacher Xiao Zhong——"

"Zheng Lili—"

The river water under the setting sun is like an overturned orange color, and the layers of waves change from thick to light, as if blood is smudged in the water.Zhong Yiqiu was flustered, her temples were throbbing, she forced herself to calm down, first she turned her head and looked around to see if anyone was working nearby, so she could ask if she saw it, but it was almost dark and there was no one there.

The mountain wind suddenly picked up, and a heavy rain was brewing.

Calling someone in his mouth, he carefully searched along the river bank. If Zheng Lili had really been here, or committed suicide... there would definitely be traces left on the river bank.

The river was very long, stretching out through the gap between the two mountains. Zhong Yiqiu broke off a branch and began to look for it from the direction coming from the village.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the dark clouds are pressing down. Zhong Yiqiu is wearing Xiao Mingye's shirt, which was already a little big. The wind lifted it from his back and covered his head. There are two blue finger marks on his white waist, which are both tempting and frightening. .He didn't even bother to pull his clothes, he was too flustered, his steps were unsteady, he fell several times, his shoes were filled with water, and he didn't even care about falling when he walked.

After searching for almost half an hour but found nothing, Zhong Yiqiu became more and more anxious, the sky was gradually getting dark, and it was going to rain, the sight in front of him was beginning to be unclear.

He was lucky, he had gone so far without a trace, maybe Zheng Lili didn't come here, maybe it was really just a child talking casually...

But I also thought, if Zheng Lili really jumped, there would be no hope after the heavy rain...

Zhong Yiqiu was very anxious, his chest was getting more and more painful, like a wire twisting his heart, it was getting tighter and tighter, he didn't know whether he should continue to search or go back, stood on the bank and shouted Zheng Lili's in despair into the river name.

The day burnt out its last ray of light, quietly exited, and the long and hopeless night came as expected, and it would not be a minute or a second late because of his prayer.

Zhong Yiqiu could no longer see the path under his feet clearly, he didn't know how far he had walked, he only vaguely remembered that he had entered the mountains, the tall and dark shadows of the mountains on both sides seemed to be full of unknown fear and pressure in the dark night.

When the scattered lights in the distance flashed past, Zhong Yiqiu stopped and looked around, seeing the lights and the faint voices of people, there should be a lot of people coming, his heart was pounding and uneasy, he couldn't guess whether it was good news or bad news.

"Yiqiu—"

Amidst the mess of voices, he heard Uncle Yi calling him, and hurriedly agreed loudly.

The first sound didn't come out, it may be caused by the long-term tension, Zhong Yiqiu felt a pain in his throat, coughed twice, and shouted again: "Uncle Yi——"

He started to walk out of the mountain, the crowd got closer, and the voice became clearer and clearer, Zhong Yiqiu stepped across a deep ditch, leaning on a tree branch and dared not go forward.

He heard the woman's cry again...

The torrential rain that had been suppressed for a whole day finally began to fall, and the big raindrops hit his body, causing pain like a bullet piercing his flesh. Zhong Yiqiu felt as if his heart was tightly clenched with both hands, and he was suffocating in pain.

He bent down in pain and beat his chest hard a few times. After the beating, he couldn't open his clenched fist, and his fingers seemed to be convulsed.

The most dreaded thing finally happened.

Although he was looking for it anxiously, he always saved the last bit of luck. Zheng Lili didn't come to the river, and jumping into the river was just an angry talk between her and her friends.

Then, a group of people rushed over in the torrential rain ahead, the woman's howling, and the frightened shouts all proved that this little luck was in vain.

Compared with Yuanjiazhuang, Zhengjiazhuang is not big, and there are more than 40 households living in it.Almost all the labor force in the village was mobilized tonight. Fifty or sixty people seemed to have agreed on the road, and jumped into the river in several directions, calling Zheng Lili's name while searching.

Uncle Yi led a few people over to look for Zhong Yiqiu, his legs were inconvenient, the heavy rain covered his eyes, the ground was slippery, and he fell several times, a young man next to him supported him.

Uncle Yi wiped the rain off his face, waved his hand, and said, "Go find someone, don't worry about me, go!"

Zhong Yiqiu is a coward, he dare not face the matter in front of him, all thoughts flashed through his mind quickly: this group of people must have confirmed that Zheng Lili is missing, and the Xiaohe at the entrance of the village has already searched for it. come...

Then I have been searching for more than an hour, but there is no trace at all. Did Zheng Lili run away from home, or was she buried at the bottom of the river?

Zhong Yiqiu didn't dare to think about it, and didn't dare to face any possibility of what happened next.

The strong wind and heavy rain made him unable to stand still. Uncle Yi's hoarse shouts forced him to wake up and walk forward with difficulty.

The clothes on my body were all soaked, and the rain was too heavy to open my eyes.A few steps away, before Uncle Yi could speak, the person beside him shouted, "Did you find anything?"

Zhong Yiqiu recognized him as the village chief of Zhengjiazhuang, he was only in his twenties and he was a cousin of Heizi's family.

"No, nothing was found—"

The rain was so loud that he had to roar to hear his words. After listening to his words, the village chief spat out the rainwater in his mouth forcefully, turned around and ran towards the crowd.

Zhong Yiqiu supported Uncle Yi and followed behind him.

Uncle Yi introduced the situation to him.

Hearing Zhong Yiqiu's words, he went to the village to find someone. Zhou Chunmei and Zheng Qijun didn't believe it at first. Uncle Yi asked Principal Zheng to go to their house together. Sure enough, he found the letter left by Zheng Lili, saying that he could not go to school, and was laughed at by others. Feeling hopeless alive, going to jump into the river...

Then they got scared, went to the village chief, mobilized the villagers to help find someone, first went to the small river by the village to fish, but found no one, and then came here again.

Everyone, like Zhong Yiqiu, took a little luck, thinking that the child was acting out of anger and would not jump into the river.But when I arrived at the entrance of Yuanjiazhuang Village, I asked the villagers about an old man who was herding cattle in the evening, and said that he saw a little girl going to the big river in the mountain, but he didn't know Zheng Lili, and his eyesight was not very good because of his age. He was wearing a red dress with two braids, but he couldn't see clearly.

After hearing this, Zhou Chunmei collapsed on the ground at that time. Zheng Lili tied two braids today. She hasn't combed her hair well since she dropped out of school. Today, when she woke up from a nap, she suddenly asked her mother to braid her two braids. Zhou Chunmei was quite happy , Thinking about this kid making trouble for so many days, he finally stopped being angry.

Zheng Lili did have a red dress. Her father bought it for her from the city when he was working. It was her favorite dress.

She didn't wear this dress today, but when she was at home just now, Zhou Chunmei saw Zheng Lili's original set of short sleeves and shorts taken off by the bed, wondering if she had changed into a red dress.

Zhou Chunmei thought in her heart that there was a very good chance that the old man saw Lili, and immediately collapsed and passed out, and was finally woken up by Principal Zheng's slap and slap.

The rain was too heavy, as if a hole had been torn open in the sky, and the rainwater poured directly down.Zhong Yiqiu's eyes hurt, and his chest hurt even more. He couldn't understand what Uncle Yi asked, so he said to himself, "I can't find her. There is no trace by the river. She might be hiding on the mountain."

Unable to see his expression clearly in the dark, Uncle Yi only felt that his appearance was a bit unusually stubborn, and he said in relief, "Maybe, I'll ask some people to go to the mountain to look for it."

The men went down to the river to salvage them. Dozens of flashlights were wrapped in plastic sheets and placed in the grass by the river. The dim beams of light shone through the rain, making the surrounding night even more frightening.

Zhou Chunmei knelt down in the mud by the river, every raindrop seemed to be a hard force, and she couldn't get up when it hit her. Her hair, which was usually neatly combed behind her head, was scattered on her head, and her clothes were already worn out. Nothing could be seen, but with the dim light of the flashlight, Zhong Yiqiu saw a finger-length wound on her calf, which was bleeding out all the time, but was washed into the mud by the rain in an instant.

The two women who accompanied her kept persuading her, but Zhou Chunmei seemed to be unable to hear her, yelling hoarsely, "Lili—you come back—Mom is wrong—Lili—come back -"

Zhong Yiqiu felt that the scene in front of him was like a dream. When he woke up from the dream, he went back to the small courtyard and was making dumplings with Xiao Mingye. None of this happened.

He took off his shoes and wanted to go down, but Uncle Yi refused to let him say anything. Zhong Yiqiu only learned to swim last year. The water in the big river is very deep, and it is raining heavily now. Not only can he go down to help, but it is also difficult to protect himself.

Someone in the river got up, waved his hands and shouted loudly, "No! I dare not go down anymore. It's raining too much, and the water is going to flood!"

After that, several people got up again, shouting and discussing in the same way.

After hearing what they said, Zhou Chunmei immediately crawled over madly, crying, "I beg you! Save my child—I beg you!"

She crawled on all fours, like an animal that could speak human words, crawled to the feet of people, and kowtowed desperately for help.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that we don't want to be rescued. The water has risen, and the rain is too heavy to see clearly. If you go into the water again, you will die!"

"No, no! Uncle Fu almost couldn't get up just now, if I didn't find out that I picked it up, I would run away!"

Zhong Yiqiu knew that what they said was right, such a heavy rainstorm in the water was simply asking for death, no matter how good the water quality was.

Zhou Chunmei cried, her head stuck in the mud by the river bank, like a strange tree planted here.

"Have it! Have it!"

"Heizi has touched it!"

"Where is Heizi! Where is Heizi?"

"Where's Qi Jun? And Zhou Chunmei, let them recognize—"

A group of people crawled up the river bank like water ghosts, shouting a frightening fact in the pouring rain.

Zhong Yiqiu didn't dare to go forward, his whole body was shaking, and he even wanted to raise his hands to cover his ears.

Heizi didn't touch anyone, only a pink plastic sandal.

Zhong Yiqiu's breath held in his chest eased slightly, he opened his mouth to breathe heavily, the rain poured into his mouth, and he tasted an indescribable stench.

"Ah—my Lili—"

A wail that didn't sound like a human voice, like a thin silk thread, strangled Zhong Yiqiu's heart into two pieces...

"Yiqiu—"

At the moment when he lost consciousness, he thought he heard Xiao Mingye's voice, and finally thought—oh, it's not Xiao Mingye, it's Uncle Yi...

He wanted Uncle Yi not to worry, but he couldn't make a sound.

The author has something to say: I am finally back!I am so sorry everyone!

He slipped and fell in the shower and broke his mouth. His teeth were displaced and he went to the hospital in the middle of the night to go to the emergency department.I started to catch a cold again the next day, my head was dizzy, and I just wanted to sleep every day. After a week of rest, I finally felt better.
