178 The Memories Engraved Pompano(1/2)
When the boy was 14 years old, he studied in the county town, so he stayed at his uncle's house. However, his uncle's home is far from the middle school, and his uncle and aunt were very busy at work, so he couldn't take care of the boy's pick-up and drop-off. If the boy wanted to save money from taking the bus, he rode his bicycle to school with two generations of his mother and sister.
This bicycle has served in the boy's home for almost ten years. Almost all parts have been replaced except for the skeleton. It looks so rustic that it cannot be more rustic. Whenever the boy rides a bicycle to school, everyone is attracted by the squeaking sounds made by the boy's bicycle.
Not long after the boy's mother passed away, my uncle and aunt felt sorry for the boy's strength, and felt that the boy had not taken good care of him when he lived in his own home, so he took him to buy a brand new bicycle.
The story I want to tell this time is related to this bicycle.
It was an evening with a brilliant sunset. The boy rode his bike home from school and got out of the crowd.
He was only fourteen or fifteen years old at this time. He was wearing a two-size-large school uniform and riding a newly bought red mountain bike on a long ramp.
A little...too fast.
It's really hard to adapt.
Because it's so easy to ride, I can't control my strength.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and today I have school left early. My uncle and aunt probably haven't come back yet. It's rare to have this opportunity... Let's go to Jiuhua Bookstore in the mall to take a look?
Jiuhua Bookstore is the favorite shopping mall for young people, because they can read books while standing and use air conditioning. As long as the study pressure is not high, young people can spend their entire holidays in bookstores.
Because I often do this, the boy is familiar with a shortcut from school to bookstore. The only disadvantage is that it is more uphill. The boy usually puts his bicycle on the school and then walks to take shortcuts.
But now that we have a new car, climbing is a problem!
So the boy decided to take a small road to Jiuhua Bookstore.
Is this alley...has it been like this before?
It seems... there are many newly built houses around...
This road is blocked?
If that's the case...
The boy was circling around and suddenly heard the sound of crying in front of him.
...
She is a little girl who looks only six or seven years old.
She wore her braids and sat on the stone steps beside her, her face buried in her knees, sobbing non-stop.
Why is it just a kid in such a place?
Logically speaking, children of this age should be taken care of by their parents.
The boy rode his bike by the little girl and then turned a corner.
After a while, the boy rode his bicycle back, parked the car next to him, and squatted down to ask the little girl.
"Kid, are you... lost?"
The little loli shook her head, but her face was still buried in her knees.
"I'm not lost... Then where have your parents been?"
This question touched the little girl and she cried even louder.
Then, after a while, the little girl raised her head and told the boy like complaining, "Dad, he... doesn't want me anymore."
This little girl... looks so cute.
Just like a child star on TV
However, what she said was because of family disagreement?
The teenagers have lived in quarrels since childhood, so they have a deep understanding of these bumps and bumps.
"Then, where is your mother? Can I take you to find your mother?"
The little girl shook her head, "Mom won't let me find dad, I'm going to bring dad back."
She seemed to remember her mission, carried the small schoolbag that she placed beside her, wiped her tears and walked forward.
"Hey...Little sister, do you know where you are going to bring your dad back?"
“…”
The little girl stopped.
"Fire...the train station."
"If you walk to the train station, you will have to walk a long way."
"That's how..."
The little girl stared at the boy's bicycle.
"Can you take me there?"
"Ah...me?"
The boy thought about it and wanted to go to the bookstore anyway. He remembered that there was a P-off station next to the bookstore, so he simply took the little girl to the police station and asked him to investigate and deal with it.
"I can take you somewhere along the way."
"Yeah, thank you brother."
The little girl bowed respectfully to the boy, and her serious expression made the boy feel a little amused and cry.
It is actually very dangerous to let a six-year-old child ride a bicycle because the child is prone to falling down with unsteady hands; of course, more danger comes from the wheels, and children are prone to putting their feet into the wheels and getting injured, so the back seats that pick up and drop off children will generally be modified.
So the little girl realized that the boy's bicycle had no back seat.
"I... can't sit here."
"Is it too high? I'll carry you up."
As he said that, the boy was about to pick up the little girl, but the little girl pushed her away with resistance.
"No! It's said on TV...that's dangerous."
"Ah? There is something like this..." The boy heard it for the first time.
"Then, you're sitting in the car and I'll push you away?"
The little girl also shook her head, "It's okay...Brother, just take me out. I have money, so I can take a taxi..."
"So you're lost!"
The boy showed a disgusting expression.
"No."
The little girl said and pulled up the corner of the boy's clothes.
"Go, let's go."
"Well, I'll take you out."
So the boy walked and pushed the cart, while the little girl followed the boy.
Holding the corner of the boy's clothes.
"Big brother, you probably aren't luring the g offender?"
"Hey! Why do you say that suddenly?" The boy was puzzled.
"It would be great if you really lure the G offender," the little girl wiped her tears. "If I were abducted, my parents would definitely reconcile them to find my whereabouts."
"Don't think of such a dangerous thing. Are you running away from home, right? Your mother should be very worried about you."
"It's okay. I left a note for my mother so she doesn't have to worry."
"I'll worry more if this is the case! Do you have any contact information at home? I'll contact your mother for you."
"I don't want to tell you, we are not very familiar with each other." The little girl muttered.
"This is..."
"And! If you give you the contact information easily, you might extort money from my mother."
"At a young age, you know a lot of scams, you..."
"So I said, I'm already a mature adult."
"Where is a mature adult who is six years old..."
"Then I can be a little adult."
The little girl was much happier than when she first met, and she stopped crying there. Perhaps this was what she was originally looking.
At this time, the boy and the little girl passed by a small stone tablet.
"Well... this stone tablet is so strange, sitting on the turtle."
"This kind of stone tablet is very common in ancient times, the Xuanwu tablet..."
"Don't say such profound words in front of children, as this will appear childish!" the little girl emphasized.
"Ah? Is there such a thing actually..."
The boy was inexplicably taught a lesson by the little loli, and it felt strange...
"Oh, it's a convenience store!"
There is a convenience store in the street behind the stone tablet. The convenience store looks like a haunted house, after all, the houses around are closed.
If you open a convenience store here, will anyone really come to buy things?
But the little girl seemed very excited and didn't care about the atmosphere around her. The boy was worried that something was wrong, so he followed the little girl into the convenience store.
"Hello - is anyone here?"
"Hello?"
The little girl tried to shout the boss of the convenience store, but no one came out.
