When he stepped out of the train station, Shen Dong stood under the shade of a tree by the side of the road for a long time without moving.

Dazzling sunshine, dry air, and the smell of dust mixed in the air, the quality of this breathing environment is obviously lower than that of the southern coastal town by several notches, he is so familiar with it.

Even though he hadn't smelled it for so many years, even though it was more than 100 kilometers away from the place where he lived, he still instantly regained the feeling he had a long time ago.

"It's really hot," Cao Mu stood beside him, squinting his eyes and looking around, the sun here is different from the seaside, and the dust flying in the sun made him frown all the time, "I think my face is covered with ashes! "

"Let's find, find a place to call..." Shen Dong took out a small notepad from his bag. On it was the rental information he found on the Internet at the hotel. The landlord asked them to go to the area of ​​Cao Mu's address. Call afterwards.

"Call? Aren't you looking for a bathtub?" Cao Mu leaned over and looked at the notebook.

"There is a bathtub in the rented room." Shen Dong looked around, and there was a telephone booth across the street. He pulled Cao Mu, "Cross the street."

"Why don't you stay in the hotel?" Cao Mu asked again.

"We're already here, we don't need to stay, we're staying in a hotel." Shen Dong took his arm, Cao Mu didn't look at the car when crossing the street, just stared at him.

"Arrived? Where?"

"Didn't I tell you in the car that we are going to find your sister?" Shen Dong was very helpless.

"Ah?" Cao Mu was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he shouted again, "Ah! It's here! It's really here! Where is my sister?"

"I still have to look for it." Shen Dong crossed the street and looked at the phone in the phone booth. It was good, so he paid for it and walked to a newsstand next to him, "I'll buy a phone, a phone card."

"I'll buy it, I'll buy it." Cao Mu actively took the money from him.

"Buy a 50 piece."

"Well," Cao Mu took the money and ran to the newsstand, "Boss, take a 50 phone card."

Shen Dong was stunned, where did he learn to be called the boss?

"I know, I know you are the boss." Shen Dong took the phone that Cao Mu bought back, and prepared to make a call to the number on the book.

"I heard someone say that," Cao Mu smiled, "I listen to others when you don't talk to me, and if you don't want to talk and don't tell me how to say it, I will know what to say. "

The rented house is less than 10 minutes by taxi. It is a one-bedroom apartment, and everything is well organized and clean.

"Are you here for an in-depth tour?" The landlord is a very enthusiastic fat uncle, and he handed over the key to Shen Dong. "Ask me if there is a place you want to go, and I will introduce it to you. Don't follow those one-day tour groups."

"Ah." Shen Dong responded, what is Deep Tour?

In fact, after living a life similar to that of a savage for a few years, when he returned to the city, Shen Dong had never seen or heard of many things. For example, when crossing the street, he took Cao Mu and stood by the side of the road for almost 10 minutes before he knew it was okay. Press the button on the side first, and the signal light will turn red...

"I will refund the deposit when you leave, but if the furniture in the house is damaged, it will be deducted from the deposit." The landlord confessed.

"Okay." Shen Dong looked at the furniture and electrical appliances in the room, they shouldn't be damaged if they didn't fight.

After everything was settled and Cao Mu finished taking a bath, Shen Dong pulled him to sit by the table, and opened a map of the city: "Come, look at this."

"Map." Cao Mu lay on the table.

"Well, we are..." Shen Dong drew a point on the map with a pen, "here."

"Is this the point?"

"Correct."

"……Oh."

Hearing this answer, Shen Dong heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't need to explain the difference between the map and the actual ratio to Cao Mu for the fourth time. He drew a big circle again with a pen: "Your sister's... address, not detailed."

"What's my sister's address?" Cao Mu frowned.

"This area is all, all." Shen Dong looked at the circle, and he had no hope of finding Yu Xiaojia in his heart.

"So big?" Cao Mu was surprised, staring at the map as if he was doing calculations, and after a long time, he slowly sat back on the chair, "Shen Dong."

"Ok?"

"Such a big place with so many people," he looked up at Shen Dong, "it's impossible to find it."

Shen Dong didn't speak, but also sat down, and he said after a while: "You can't know until you try to find it."

"Then how do we try?" Cao Mu lowered his head and studied the map intently.

"Have you seen, seen the person who took away Yu... Yu Xiaojia?"

"No, I know it's a man. My sister said he's fine."

"Then what is your sister, what is it like?" Shen Dong couldn't think of any good way to find someone, but even if it was just wandering around the street, he planned to try.

"I don't remember." Cao Mu replied.

"What?" Shen Dong almost poked Cao Mu's forehead with his pen, "What did you say?"

"I don't remember what happened to my sister," Cao Mu propped his chin with his hands, and tapped his lips with his fingers. "She has been gone for a long time, and my memory was much worse then than now."

"How long has it been so long?" Shen Dong was still immersed in shock and grief and couldn't extricate himself. Using half an address to find a person who didn't know what he looked like was even more impossible than finding a missing chicken on an island.

"I'll think about it." Cao Mu closed his eyes and frowned and began to recall.

It took a long time to recall. After 10 minutes, Shen Dong was thinking about whether to take a nap before he opened his eyes: "It may have been five or six years."

"Five or six, six, six, six...years?" Shen Dong couldn't stand his stuttering, he patted the table, "Wait, wait, wait a minute, you are only three years old."

"What's wrong?" Cao Mu didn't understand.

"One year old, three years old and three years old, understand?" Shen Dong stretched out three fingers in front of his eyes, "Can you count?"

"After my sister left, my grandpa took me to see the fireworks in the first year, I was hit on the back by a boat oar in the second year, and in the third year... I don't remember what happened, so I don't know if there is a third year, or a third year. In four years, my grandfather and I moved to live next to the lighthouse. In the fifth year, I saw your coral. In the sixth year, you kept throwing me back into the water..." Cao Mu pulled Shen Dong's finger and pointed, "Look, Is it five or six years?"

Shen Dong looked at his hands, wondering if he should trust Cao Mu's memories. In this series of memories, there is not such a cool Captain Jack. There is no one else except him and grandpa. Shen Dong was very confused.

But his focus was temporarily off by a few seconds. If Cao Mu's memory is not wrong, his fish age is far more than three years.

Aren't the rings on his scales according to his age?

An hour later, Shen Dong was still sitting on the chair in a daze, how could he find Yu Xiaojia?Although he didn't expect to find it at the beginning, even if he couldn't find it, he had to look for it before saying he couldn't find it.

The current situation with no direction makes him very depressed.

Cao Mu also kept silent, leaning back on the chair quietly, putting his legs on the table and squinting his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Shen Dong, I'm thirsty, is there any water?" Cao Mu said when Shen Dong looked at him for the third time.

"Yes," Shen Dong took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to him. His enthusiasm for drinking water as if he had just been rescued from the desert moved Shen Dong's heart, "Clownfish, I'm asking you."

"Huh?" Cao Mu responded and continued to pour water.

"If I take you, here, here no, I won't leave," Shen Dong pondered, "Where is the place you want to go the most?"

"Where there is water." Cao Mu put down the bottle and replied without thinking.

Shen Dong picked up the pen and drew another line at the place where the big circle was drawn on the map: "There is a river here."

"River?" Cao Mu looked at the map, "What is a river?"

"It's the son of the sea." Shen Dong stared at the river. There were not many residential areas on both sides, and there were a few hotels and buildings marked on the map.

"The son of the sea is the captain." Cao Mu said.

Shen Dong took a notepad and wrote down the names of the streets by the river: "Can you remember the captain again?"

"Who is the captain, I remember this sentence."

The captain is the one who waits with great patience for you to remember who he is every time he sees you.

Shen Dong closed his notebook, stuffed the map into his bag, and patted Cao Mu: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Cao Mu immediately jumped up.

"Go to the river, look by the river, have a look."

This river runs through the center of the city, the water is surprisingly clear, trees are planted on both sides of the river, and the air is much better than other places.

When Shen Dong got off the bus, he was a little confused. The buildings in this area, except for one tall building, were all short, but they all exuded a sense of elegance. Looking at the large leisure green space, this should be In a relatively high-end part of the city, such a place where every inch of land is expensive, whether it is an office or a residence, it seems a little impossible for a fish.

"Is this the river? It's so beautiful here." Cao Mu didn't think too much, and stood on the embankment with great interest.

"Well, let's go, walk along here and see if there are any clues." Shen Dong carefully looked at the people and buildings around him, he didn't know what to pay attention to, so he could only look while walking.

"What do you want to see?" Cao Mu followed him to look around.

"Look at the women, see if there are any, if there are any that look familiar to you..."

"I remembered who the captain is," Cao Mu said suddenly, pointing to a small pleasure boat on the river, "This boat is more beautiful than his!"

"En." Shen Dong continued to walk forward, it was too difficult to expect a person who could not concentrate to find any clues.

"If the captain goes to look for me, he will definitely be angry if he can't find it," Cao Mu laughed. "What should he do if he doesn't understand the note you left for him? I don't know if he can read or not."

"He's not you," Shen Dong sighed, and pulled Cao Mu's arm, "Look at the woman."

"Oh."

"Ha!" Hong Jie rushed out of the water and yelled, only to find that there was no one in the cave after shouting, "Did you go looking for Shen Dong again?"

Hong Jie walked around the cave with his body full of water, and saw a large piece of coral on Cao Mu's small iron box, so he went to open the box.

He was quite familiar with the contents inside, so at a glance, he saw that there was an extra sealed bag with a folded piece of paper inside.

I'm on vacation, and I'm taking Cao Xiaoyu on a trip by the way.Shen Dong.

"Shen Dong's handwriting is not bad." Hong Jie looked at this sentence that couldn't be simpler, refolded the paper and put it back in the sealed bag. After locking the box, he turned and jumped back into the water.

The first thing Hong Jie did when he returned to the boat was to turn on the radio, and after he tuned it up, he began to shout: "Pingshan Island Lighthouse! Pingshan Island Lighthouse! This is Captain Jack! I received a reply."

The radio was quiet and unresponsive.

Hong Jie sighed and continued to shout: "Pingshan Island Lighthouse! Uncle Chen of Pingshan Island! I know you are here, so I will ask you a question, answer quickly! I am Jie, no, I am Hong Jie!"

After the radio continued to be silent for a while, Uncle Chen's voice came out: "This is the Pingshan Island Lighthouse, don't occupy the channel."

"Let me just ask, Uncle Chen, how long is Shen Dong on vacation?"

"Two months, you should find someone else to play with first."

"Understood, the call is over!"

Hong Jie wore a small red wedge and blew the wind on the bow for a while, and gave an order: "Full left rudder! Go back to the shore to replenish supplies!"

"These shoes squeeze your feet," he shouted, throwing off the shoes and running to the stern to start the boat. "Hold anchor! Full port!"

The boat sailed very fast, Hong Jie half-closed his eyes against the sea wind, and after a while he switched the blindfold from his left eye to his right eye, and the blow always made his eyes almost shed tears.

The small pier next to the village was very quiet. No one went out to sea at this time, and no one would come back. He parked the boat and jumped off.

He was very careful when trotting all the way into the village. He was not afraid of being seen by others, but he was afraid of being seen by his grandfather. Then he would at least be beaten, kicked and thrown home by the old man and locked up for a month.

Every time he goes home, he climbs in through the backyard wall, and his house is next to the backyard.

He could hear the old man walking up and down the front yard, but the old man was a little deaf and couldn't hear him rummaging through boxes and packing things in the house.

The luggage is easy to pack, a few clothes, two bank cards, ID card, a bunch of change and a mobile phone.

When running out of the village along the path, Hong Jie looked behind him, but there were no pursuers.

"You left me and ran so far, two disabled people are not afraid of being trafficked," he took out his mobile phone from his bag and dialed a number while running, "Hi, hello, I want to book a ticket, what time are you guys?" I'll go pick it up after get off work..."

"This is delicious, sweet and sour, better than soy milk." Cao Mu sat on the embankment, holding a cup of sour plum soup in his hand.

"Are you tired?" Shen Dong sat beside him and searched for more than two hours, but they didn't find anything that could be used as a clue, but Shen Dong was not disappointed, as this was the way it was.

"It's okay," Cao Mu bit the straw and shook it back and forth, "but I want to soak in water."

"Ah?" Shen Dong was stunned, soaking in water?Now?

"It's too hot. It's much hotter here than the beach. Shall I go soak in the river?" Cao Mu stood up.

"Wait a minute!" Shen Dong jumped up and grabbed him.

"Why?" Cao Mu looked at him, as if he suddenly understood something, "I won't take off my clothes."

Who cares if you take it off or not!Shen Dong pulled him to the side, pointed to a sign on the embankment: "Come on, I'll teach, teach... I'll teach you how to read."

"I want to soak in water." Cao Mu frowned.

"Here, here, ban, stop, swim, swim," Shen Dong read it word by word. When he turned his head, he found that Cao Mu didn't seem very comfortable. He immediately became a little nervous, "Is it uncomfortable? Can you?" Hold on until you come back, do you want to go back?"

"I'm going to catch fire." Cao Mu grabbed Shen Dong's arm.

The scalding temperature in Cao Mu's palm startled Shen Dong. As a cold-blooded mermaid, Cao Mu's current temperature was a bit frightening. Shen Dong quickly reached out and touched his forehead.

It was also hot, and Shen Dong found that Cao Mu didn't have a drop of sweat on his body while shouting that he was so hot.

"You can't sweat, don't you?" Shen Dong put his hand into Cao Mu's clothes and carelessly touched Cao Mu's body, regardless of the passers-by.

"I don't know," Cao Mu hid away with a smile, "itch."

"You..." Shen Dong wanted to say that you can still laugh, but he looked around. If Cao Mu really went back to this state, he was afraid of accidents, so he gritted his teeth, "You go to the river for a dip."

"Yeah." Cao Mu nodded, quickly took off his T-shirt, turned around and jumped into the river without waiting for Shen Dong to say anything else.

The embankment was sloping, and it was impossible for ordinary people to jump directly into the water, they would definitely fall directly on the concrete slope, so Shen Dong wanted him to go down a little bit before jumping, but Cao Mu jumped straight away.

Looking at the graceful arc drawn by his body in the air, Shen Dong broke out in a cold sweat. Isn't this exciting posture of throwing himself into the river to attract the onlookers!
