When we walked to the big tree at the bridge of the town, many old people in the village were sitting around playing chess under the tree.

Although it is summer, standing under the big tree does not feel hot at all.

Leng Qian didn't know when she bought two popsicles at the canteen at the entrance of the village, one in each hand. She was eating enthusiastically when she walked to Shen Tingmian.

Shen Tingmian looked at her eagerly.

Leng Qian took a sip of ice, it felt so good.

"Don't look at it. You can't eat ice now. You can wait until you unload the cubs next year."

Shen Tingmian could only continue to stare at her eagerly.

"Hey, don't tell me, this old popsicle is actually better than the ice cream in many five-star hotels."

Shen Tingmian: ...I think you did it on purpose.

Like Shen Tingmian, they watched Leng Qian eating with gusto, as well as several children nearby.

Most of them seemed to be four or five years old. They were originally playing under the big tree, but now they have Leng Qian and Shen Tingmian in the middle of the circle.

Shen Tingmian looked at them and thought of herself as a child. Every summer vacation, Zhao Juan would always go to the ice cream wholesale center to buy several boxes of ice cream of various flavors for Liu Guangzong and Liu Yaozu to eat.

Whenever I see them take out the ice cream from the refrigerator, tear off the wrapping paper and eat it so deliciously, I feel so greedy. The only time I open the refrigerator is to get a small stick of pudding ice cream, which is cheaper.

But she was slapped by Zhao Juan: "Are you worthy of eating ice cream?"

The bitterness of the past made her want to be generous when she saw these bright-eyed children.

"Do you want to eat ice cream? Sister, please."

All the children nodded wildly.

Leng Qian counted the number of people in Little Carrot Head.

"Wait, I'll buy it."

Everyone was waiting where they were.

There were also children from Sheniu asking why Shen Tingmian came to their village today.

Shen Tingmian said that she wanted to find the doctor Grandpa Qin, but he was not in the village, so the trip was in vain. Everyone was talking about how a group of people came to the village last year and caused Grandpa Qin's medical clinic to close down.

Leng Qian came back soon, carrying a plastic bag of ice cream.

He gave it to one of the older children and said, "Okay, you can take it and share it."

The older child took the plastic bag and ran away with the group of children.

Leng Qian looked at the river. Summer was the flood season, and the river flow was relatively fast.

"It's been almost two hours since we came out. Let's go back. The person you mentioned, send me the information later and I'll see if I can find it."

Shen Tingmian felt that Leng Qian could find people who worked and lived normally in society, but how could she find such people who lived in seclusion in the wilderness.

But now I have no choice but to ask Leng Qian to help me check.

Just then, a child cried.

Shen Tingmian saw a little girl whose face was a little dirty and didn't get the ice cream.

It felt like someone had pushed me, and I lay on the ground crying.

Shen Tingmian went over to pick her up and wiped her tears and nose with a tissue.

"Kid, did you miss the ice cream?"

"I want ice cream, I want ice cream."

Shen Tingmian glanced at Leng Qian, who went to the canteen again.

He was carrying something in a plastic bag again.

"Come and take it. Everything in this bag belongs to you. No one can steal it from you."

Shen Tingmian saw that there were ice cream, bubble gum, beef cubes, potato chips, and hawthorn chips in the plastic bag. They are all things that I liked to eat when I was a child but seldom ate them. "

The little girl took it and tore off the ice cream packaging.

Several little boys who had just run away gathered around again, wanting to eat too.

But she was shocked by Leng Qian's eyes.

"Sister, she has a problem with her IQ. She was abandoned by her parents when she was a child. She couldn't speak even last year. It's no use eating so much delicious food."

Shen Tingmian knew that it must have been one of them who had snatched the little girl's ice cream away just now.

After hearing this, Leng Qian said, "Does it work for you? It's not like you pooped out in the end. Okay, go away and play."

The little girl finished eating the ice cream and tore open the hawthorn packaging.

He broke off a large half and gave it to Shen Tingmian, "Sister, here it is."

Pregnant women should not eat hawthorn. It is said that eating it can easily cause uterine contractions and even lead to miscarriage in severe cases.

Shen Tingmian shook his head, "You eat it, sister can't eat this."

The little girl finished the hawthorn very carefully.

Then looked into Shen Tingmian's eyes:

"Grandpa Qin, in the mountains, I know."

The first time, Shen Tingmian didn't understand it until the child said it again.

"Ah, little sister, you mean you know where Doctor Qin is Grandpa Qin?"

The little girl nodded seriously, "Yeah, I know."

Shen Tingmian couldn't believe it. They didn't mean that this kid might have a low IQ.

"Sister, let's go and find Grandpa Qin."

After saying that, she took Shen Tingmian's hand and walked forward. The plastic bag was tied up and held in her hand so that no one could take it away.

She first led them through the streets and entered a door.

There was a little girl at the door who was even younger than she looked.

Walking is still unsteady.

The furnishings at home are very simple and there are no adults.

The little girl took out the snacks from the plastic bag and gave them to her sister, feeding her little by little.

Shen Tingmian glanced at Leng Qian, could this be the Grandpa Qin she said?

Leng Qian looked at the time and it was almost 4 o'clock.

"It's better to go back. This kid may not know who we are looking for."

Shen Tingmian nodded.

She got nothing today, and thinking about Li Yunchen who was lying on the bed and eating through nasal feeding, she felt a little heavy.

Shen Tingmian greeted the little girl and her sister, "Children, my sister is going back. Eat your snacks slowly."

Just as he was talking, the little girl stood up and pulled Shen Tingmian's clothes, "I won't leave, Grandpa Qin."

"Do you know where Grandpa Qin is?"

The little girl nodded.

"Then take us to find him now."

"Grandpa, he's not here in the mountains during the day. He won't be there until dark."

"If you don't do this, kid, you take us to find Grandpa Qin. If he doesn't come back, we'll wait for him to come back."

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then put the snacks away, told her sister a few words, closed the door, and led them towards the back mountain.

Shen Tingmian watched the little girl walking firmly in front.

She whispered to Leng Qian, "Do you think she can really lead us to find someone? This mountain looks very desolate."

Leng Qian sighed, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that she will sell us out?"
