Xiao Man waited in the room for more than ten minutes, but Li Xiwei still hadn't come back, so he went out to search around, but found no one, and wanted to ask Wang Mingxia for help, but Wang Mingxia's attention was on the TV, "That friend of yours disappeared? Maybe go home, don't look for it, he will definitely not come back."

Xiaoman listened to Wang Mingxia's words, puffed his cheeks, went out again with the broken umbrella and looked around again, but he still couldn't find it, nowhere, he was afraid that what Wang Mingxia said was true, even though he said he wanted Li Xiwei to go home, This is not the case now, he didn't even say goodbye.

Xiaoman knew that he couldn't speak, and it was really hard to find someone alone. As a last resort, he thought of the man who held the umbrella for him just now. He could feel that Zhou Xun was a warm-hearted person, thinking that he might help him find someone. Xiaoman was next door. He stood in front of the door for a while, hesitated, and finally raised his hand and knocked on the door. After Zhou Xun opened the door, he handed him the note he just wrote.

Because of the lack of time, Xiaoman couldn’t write the words that Xiao Man could not write in time to look them up in the dictionary, and some of them used pinyin instead. Fortunately, Zhou Xun understood the words on his note, and after reading it, he asked him: “Is your friend missing?”

Xiaoman wrote the word "Li Ran" on the note again, and Zhou Xun asked, "Your friend's name is Li Ran?"

Xiaoman nodded vigorously. Zhou Xun didn't ask any more questions. After returning to the room and taking the umbrella, he went out with Xiaoman to find someone. I didn't know the right way, so I went back and forth to the hotel entrance. From a long distance, I saw a little boy standing at the hotel entrance. He stepped forward and asked, "Little brother, is your surname Li?"

Li Xiwei turned his head and glanced at the man who asked him, and recognized that he was the tenant who lived next door to them. He frowned and said nothing.

Zhou Xun felt that he was the person Xiaoman was looking for, thought that he could not speak, and said again: "Your friend Xiaoman, he has been looking for you, and he is very anxious. He just asked me to help him find him. He is still looking outside now. Woolen cloth."

After hearing this, Li Xiwei finally opened his mouth, "Why is he looking for me? I don't need him to look for..."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Zhou Xun, "Give me the umbrella, and I'll go find him."

Zhou Xun sighed, "You just wait here, you look for him, he looks for you, when is the head, you wait at the door, maybe he will come back in a while."

Li Xiwei waited at the door for a while, looking around, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, he was a little worried, and he was afraid that Xiao Man would not see him and go out again when he came back, so he had to wait where he was, but the man next door was the one who finally came back, He asked anxiously, "Where's Xiaoman? Didn't you find it?"

"Haven't you come back yet?" Zhou Xun stood at the door and gasped for a while, then picked up his watch and looked at it. It took at least half an hour to go out this time.

"Xiao Man, where did you go, you little mute?" Wang Mingxia shouted at the front desk, "Are you being lazy again?"

Zhou Xun pushed the door open and went in, "Xiaoman just went to look for someone across the street, and he hasn't come back yet."

Wang Mingxia's face changed after hearing this, "Where did you say he went? In the dilapidated building across the street? Where is it going to be demolished?"

"That's right, I just searched around, but there is no one." Zhou Xun said.

Wang Mingxia slapped her thigh, "It's broken, Xiao Man was kidnapped, right?"

"Abducted?" Li Xiwei walked to the counter, stared at Wang Mingxia and asked, "Abducted by what? Who abducted?"

"I also heard it when I was playing mahjong. There used to be a lot of beggars with missing arms and legs near the train station. The blind man played the erhu. When it rained, they all went to spend the night in the dilapidated building across the street that was about to be demolished. At least it can keep out the wind and rain," Wang Mingxia said in a low voice, "but in the past two months, several beggars with familiar faces have suddenly disappeared. Many people said in private that those beggars may have been abducted..."

"Xiao Man is not a beggar, nor is he a disabled person." Li Xiwei didn't believe Wang Mingxia's words, and hurriedly argued, his face flushed with anxiety, "It's impossible for others to abduct him."

"But he's dumb." Wang Mingxia's words made Li Xiwei shut up.

Zhou Xun, who was standing next to Li Xiwei, said, "My lord will look for it again, maybe he just went to find someone else." After he finished speaking, he said to Li Xiwei: "Don't go as a child. Just wait and see."

Before Li Xiwei could speak, Wang Mingxia sat back on the chair behind the counter, not intending to get up again, "I still need to look after the store, I don't have time to find him."

Zhou Xun looked at Wang Mingxia and raised his eyebrows in displeasure, "Who are you, Xiaoman? Do you know that it is illegal to employ child labor?"

"If you don't know the situation, don't open your mouth and keep talking about breaking the law to scare me. I won't accept your trick," Wang Mingxia twisted her face, spit on the counter, "I'm just a distant relative of his. He is dumb, has no father or mother, has no brain, and can't read a few words. I can take him in, give him a place to live, and give him food, which is already the best of humanity."

Zhou Xun sighed after hearing this, turned around and went out to find someone, Li Xiwei still followed.

"Go back, I'll look for it."

"I'll be with you, no matter who you are."

"Xiao Man, where are you, Xiao Man?" Li Xiwei yelled as he walked, looking around in the alley, "Respond to what you hear."

After he shouted, he fell silent again. Xiaoman couldn't speak, so how could he respond to him.

Walking to the dilapidated building that Wang Mingxia mentioned, the sight became darker and darker, there was not even a street light, and the alleys extended in all directions, and every turn led to another direction.

Li Xiwei heard the people around him say: "Xiao Man told me that you had a fight with him and you disappeared, so he asked me to go look for you with him just now."

"Are you the one wearing his slippers?" Li Xiwei asked in a cold voice, "Those are the slippers in his room. He didn't give them to me. Why should I give them to you?"

Zhou Xun was laughed angrily by Li Xiwei, and looked down at Li Xiwei's feet, which were much smaller than his own, "Will it fit you?"

"If it doesn't fit, I can keep it until I fit."

"The shoes on your feet and the clothes on your body are all famous brands, at least tens of thousands of dollars. Why do you care so much about a pair of slippers worth five yuan?" Zhou Xun tilted the umbrella on Li Xiwei's body. "It looks like she was spoiled and spoiled. If Xiaoman really gave you slippers, you might not know how to wear them."

The raindrops hit the umbrella surface crackling, Zhou Xun said again: "This is not the case with friends, friends are not just blindly possessive."

"It's up to you," Li Xiwei said angrily, walked forward a few steps, and walked out under the umbrella.

Zhou Xun held up his umbrella and quickly followed, "It's better to find someone with peace of mind now."

In fact, Li Xiwei has long since regretted it in his heart. He was not angry with Zhou Xun, but angry at himself for why he ran out suddenly. He knew in his heart that Xiaoman would definitely go out to find him, and he wanted Xiaoman to go with him, but he also knew that he didn't have to. Using this method to test, he obviously could have many better methods. Li Xiwei felt like a hard stone was stuck in his chest, but his pace was getting faster and faster.

Walking to a corner again, Li Xiwei faintly heard a few thin footsteps coming from the alley on the right, which was mostly hidden by the sound of rain. Through the rain, he still heard a low sobbing sound. There is an intuition that it must be Xiaoman, thinking, the person has already rushed out, and the people behind him are also chasing him.

The people in the alley saw the oncoming people, turned around and ran in the opposite direction, Li Xiwei saw three figures in front, and the person running at the back was carrying a person on his shoulders, it was Xiaoman, he was desperate Chasing after the shadow, he shouted as he ran, "Stop, put Xiao Man down."

"Xiaoman..."

Hearing Li Xiwei's voice, Xiaoman turned his head and struggled desperately on the man's shoulders, but his hands and feet were bound, so he could only hit the neck and chest of the man who was carrying him with his head, and the man was hit several times. Cursing, "Be honest, if you move again, you will be thrown against the wall and die."

Zhou Xun ran faster than Li Xiwei, but still kept some distance from the figure in front of him. He saw a van parked at the entrance of the alley, and it must be too late to chase after him. There was less garbage, and there were still a pile of bamboo poles. He picked up the bamboo pole on the ground, pointed the end of the bamboo pole at the back of the last person, and threw it with all his might, hitting his lower back precisely.

The person carrying the child staggered because of the pain. He stopped and rushed forward. He let go of Xiao Man's hand, and Xiao Man was thrown off by him. Li Xiwei had already spotted the direction and rushed to catch him. After touching Xiaoman, the two of them rolled on the ground a few times.

"Xiao Man, are you okay?" The raindrops hit the two of them, and their bodies were covered with muddy water, but they couldn't care less. Li Xiwei checked Xiao Man's body up and down to make sure he was not injured, and then held him tightly Looking at the bottomless panic in Xiaoman's eyes, Xiaoman's hand was still shaking after a while, and he himself seemed to be unable to reach the ground, his body was filled with cold rain, which made his eyelashes tremble. , He wanted to help Xiaoman up, but the ground was slippery, he didn't step on his feet firmly, and fell down again.

Zhou Xun ran over to help the two of them up. The people in the van at the entrance of the alley had already got out of the car, and turned back with the two people running ahead. There were four people in total, and they surrounded the three of them. One of them slapped He slapped another person on the face and scolded angrily: "Damn it, you guys are actually provoking someone. Didn't you tell others not to see it?"

Li Xiwei protected Xiaoman behind him, and Zhou Xun pushed the two of them back behind him, "You two follow me, take the opportunity to run later, and then call the police..."

"Call the police?" A man snorted coldly, "We'll have to see if you guys have this chance. We didn't plan to provoke this dumb man. We did ours. Unfortunately, this kid saw it, and now you bumped into it again." , I can only count you as unlucky today."

After the man finished speaking, he made a gesture, and the others rushed forward.

Zhou Xun entangled the two of them. Li Xiwei first glanced at the two people surrounding him and Xiaoman, then suddenly pushed Xiaoman back, rushed forward, blocked the two, and shouted at Xiaoman behind him: " Xiao Man, run quickly."

Although Li Xiwei has practiced taekwondo for several years, he is still small in stature. It is not easy to deal with two tall and strong adult men. Grabbed the man's arm.

"Fuck you, let me fuck you off," the man who was bitten yelled, another man raised his leg and kicked Li Xiwei in the back. Xiao Man had a chance to escape, but he still jumped at him without hesitation. On Li Xiwei's body, he blocked a kick, and that kick finally landed on his stomach, causing him to groan a few times in pain, but his body was still firmly blocking the person under him, his eyes were red, and he remained motionless.

In the chaos, sirens sounded from the street, and many people rushed in after a while. Xiao Man heard Wang Mingxia's voice and the police's voice, "Stay still, policeman, let go of that child."

It was already dawn when they came out of the police station. The person who called the police was Wang Mingxia. She also went to the police station together. Those people were really abductees. They were a special fraud organization that picked out beggars and disabled people on the street. Some people went with them voluntarily, and some were forcibly taken away by them. Originally, Xiaoman was looking for Li Xiwei, but when he walked into the dilapidated building, he saw them arguing with the blind old man playing the erhu at the train station. It was later discovered by those people that he was a mute, and he was also selected by them.

Fortunately, there was no danger in the end. Wang Mingxia kept complaining that they delayed her from doing business all the way, and she stopped talking when she arrived at the hotel, and began to check out the guests after entering the counter.

Zhou Xun wanted to see Xiaoman's kick, and reached out to lift Xiaoman's clothes, "Let me see the wound on your stomach."

But before his hand touched Xiao Man's clothes, Xiao Man was dragged away by Li Xiwei, "I will see for myself."

After Li Xiwei finished speaking, he took Xiaoman upstairs and returned to the room. He had just closed the door when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that the person outside was Zhou Xun, holding a bottle of bruises After taking the ointment, he said "thank you".

Zhou Xun smiled helplessly, and went back to the room. Li Xiwei took the ointment and walked to Xiaoman's side, "Lie on the bed, let me see your stomach."

Xiaoman lay down obediently, and opened the corner of his clothes. Li Xiwei saw Xiaoman's blue belly, his eyes turned red, he picked up the medicine and poured it into the palm of his hand, and gently applied it on Xiaoman's belly.

"I'm sorry..." Li Xiwei's voice was very soft, he lowered his head, his drooping eyelashes covered his bloodshot eyes.

Xiao Man sat up and saw that Li Xiwei's face was still stained with mud, he reached out to wipe him off, and when his fingertips touched the corners of his eyes, he rubbed them back and forth a few times.

Li Xiwei wiped his eyes carelessly with the back of his hand, "I'm worried, I'll take you to the hospital."
