The bumps were so severe that Yin Yitong leaned on Shen Zhe's shoulder, and his little head swayed with the swing of the vehicle. He instantly lost his balance and fell into Shen Zhe's arms, like a kitten about to fall asleep.

Shen Zhe's hand movements paused slightly, then returned to normal and hugged the child tightly, stroking Yin Yitong's soft hair with his thumb, letting the little guy curl up into his arms. After all, he was still a child.

He vaguely smelled the fragrance of milk, so he came close to the child's face and smelled it. No wonder it was called a milk baby. It had a very soft smell, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly unconsciously.

"Master, ahead is the county town. Do you need to buy any supplies? Beyond that is the mountain trail." The driver reminded.

Shen Zhe glanced at the dim sky outside and ordered to stay in a hotel for one night and go there early tomorrow morning.

Shen Zhe looked at Yin Yitong's sleeping face, with warmth in his eyes, and looked at him quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The car quickly arrived at the hotel, and the driver got out and opened the door for them.

"Master, the room has been booked." Assistant Chen said to Shen Zhe.

Shen Zhe nodded, picked up Yin Yitong, and walked into the hotel lobby. The waiter led them to the door of the room and opened the door for them.

The hotel in the small county town was not luxurious, but rather spacious and bright. At this time, Yin Yitong suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at everything in the room curiously.

"Why are you awake?" Shen Zhe put Yin Yitong down and asked gently, just after falling asleep for a while.

Yin Yitong ran to the bed, sat down, and touched the soft sheets with her hands. Her eyes were full of joy, but she quickly realized: "Uncle, we need to go find mom."

He timidly lowered his head to speak, and his words were not very clear. It was difficult for a two-year-old child to enunciate clearly.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to the bathroom." Shen Zhe said, walked to the door of the bathroom, looked back at Yin Yitong, "Don't run around."

Yin Yitong nodded obediently and looked at Shen Zhe walking into the bathroom. Missing her mother welled up in her heart. She missed her mother so much.

Shen Zhe came out of the bathroom and saw Yin Yitong looking unhappy. He walked to the bed and touched his little head: "Are you hungry?"

He shook his head, looked at Shen Zhe and said, "Uncle, I, I miss my mother."

He was young and spoke intermittently. Shen Zhe didn't speak and just stood beside him. What could he do if he found his mother and return the child to that woman?

Not to mention his own unwillingness, neither the Shen family's parents nor the old man would agree. How could he return a child who had finally blocked the family's mouth? It was impossible for him to bring that woman to the Shen family.

"Okay, it's dark outside and it's not safe to drive. You just have a good sleep and we'll go find mom tomorrow morning, okay?"

Yin Yitong burst into tears, but she couldn't change it. She could only nod aggrievedly, hoping that his uncle wouldn't lie to him and would really take him to find his mother tomorrow.

He put the little guy on the bed, didn't say anything about washing his face, covered him with a quilt and was about to leave.

"Uncle, water~, I'm thirsty."

The child suddenly called him.

Shen Zhe looked around and saw that there were no water dispensers or bottled drinking water. He wanted to ask the front desk to send two bottles over, but he saw that the phone lines were not connected.

"I'm going to buy it, but you're not allowed to run around."

"Ah."

Shen Zhe went to the small shop nearby and bought a few bottles of drinking water, and carefully fed them to Yin Yitong.

"Still drinking?"

He shook his head: "Thank you~"

"You're welcome."

Yin Yitong raised her buttocks and slowly got up. Shen Zhe didn't understand his behavior: "What are you doing?"

The kid sighed helplessly, why is this uncle so stupid? He pulled his pants and said softly: "Change, change the diaper, I'm still a child."

Shen Zhe was stunned. He had never changed the child's diaper, but he couldn't say he wouldn't change it, right? Yin Yitong became shy when she saw him. She stared at him with big watery eyes, as if she was expecting and enduring something. How could a grown man not be as strong as a little boy like her?

"Wait a minute, I'll look for your diaper."

Yin Yitong crawled out of bed restlessly and said in a sweet voice: "My schoolbag is on the car. My uncle's grandma put it there."

Shen Zhe grunted and walked out. Thinking of this little thing's restless temper, he thought about it and hurried back, opening the iPad: "You can play with this when you are bored. Don't run around. I'll be right back."

Yin Yitong didn't know how to play, so she randomly clicked on a jigsaw puzzle game that came with the system.

This night, Shen Zhe didn't sleep well. The kid always liked to kick the quilt and squirmed like a little pig while sleeping...

The next day, they washed and dressed and continued driving towards their destination.

It is a quiet and peaceful small village, the sun shines brightly, a few old hens stroll slowly along the dirt road, chirping for their chicks, and the orange cat lies lazily on the ground to bask in the sun.

"It's Ah Huang~" Yin Yitong pointed to the big yellow dog on the roadside and said happily: "I live right in front."

Shen Zhe just squinted for a while when he was woken up. The kid brother was so energetic that he really didn't understand how Yin Xinyue survived.

The driver stopped the car in front of an old tile-roofed house. Shen Zhe got out of the car and took Yin Yitong out of the car. He followed the child into the alley. There was an old woman with a warm smile sitting in the alley.

"Grandma Yang." Yin Yitong shouted loudly.

Grandma of the Yang family was startled, wondering why the child was back and who was the man next to her. The old man stood up and said, "Tongtong?"

The big yellow dog quickly stood up and barked at the two people. "Ah Huang~ Stop barking, it's too noisy!" Grandma Yang scolded the big yellow dog and nodded apologetically to Shen Zhe: "Ah Huang is a Chinese pastoral dog raised in our family. It is very fierce. It likes Tongtong very much. Maybe I treat you as a stranger."

The old lady held Ah Huang and said to the two of them with a kind smile: "Come in and sit down."

Shen Zhe followed the old man into the main room. The room was very spacious, but the decoration was very simple, and most of the furniture was old-fashioned wooden furniture.

Shen Zhe noticed many awards and photos posted on the wall.

"Grandma, where is my mother?" Yin Yitong saw that the door to his and his mother's home was locked with a large iron chain.

The grandma of the Yang family deliberately avoided her eyes: "Tongtong, didn't you go to find your father? Why are you back again?"

"Grandma, where is my mother?" He repeated this sentence.

The old man couldn't bear to deceive the child, maybe this would be his last meeting.

"In the health room."

After Tongtong was sent away, Yin Xinyue's condition worsened. She vomited blood and fainted in front of her house in the middle of the night last night. She had to be temporarily sent to the village clinic. Every household in the village was poor. It wasn't that they didn't want to save her, but that they couldn't save her.

The hospital had told Yin Xinyue before that she needed to rest and not overwork herself, but how could she not be tired with a child?

Yin Yitong raised her head and stared at Shen Zhe: "Behind the room paper."

He picked up the little one and walked in the direction directed by the child. After a while, he saw a small two-story foreign-style building. The front of the house was filled with various flowers and plants, and there was also a small garden surrounded by fences. A short and fat fruit tree, Shen Zhe guessed, it was probably a cherry tree.

The equipment inside the health room is old, and it feels like an old health center from the past.
