"Hello, let me introduce myself, I'm Cheng Xue." The short-haired policewoman held out her hand to him.

"Li Qiu."

"The person who called the police is your friend Mr. Xie, but he doesn't know what happened. Can you and Mr. Xie come with us to the police station to make a record?"

"Okay." Li Qiu replied, "This kid should go with him, he must have been kidnapped - can you help him find his family?"

"Of course. This is our duty." Cheng Xue smiled slightly.

Without wasting a moment, they boarded the police car.Cheng Xue was very capable, and asked him the general ins and outs on the way.It didn't take long to make the transcript, and everything was done after registering the identity information.

Cheng Xue sent them to the gate of the police station, Xie Cheng suddenly asked, "Officer Cheng, what should I do with that child?"

"We will try our best to find his parents for him. Before that, he should be taken to an orphanage. If there is no other way, the only option is to wait for adoption."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Coming out of the police station, Li Qiu asked, "The salary is paid, and it's too late to see grandma today. Where should I eat? I invite you."

"The old place." Xie Cheng didn't sound very interested.

"What? Are you in a bad mood?"

"No." Xie Cheng shook his head, looking at the sunset in the sky.The sun dyed every inch of the cloud a golden color, and that was his favorite time of the day.

The two fell into a short silence, Xie Cheng suddenly put his hands behind his head, and sighed, "Lizi, tell me, does that child look like when we were young?"

Li Qiu paused, "Who knows."

The setting sun elongated the shadows of the two people, and the chimneys in the distance no longer puffed out black smoke.The people in the factory got off work, and the smell of food lingered in their nostrils.

There are all kinds of people in the city, who is not the shadow of who.

----

"Old Place" is a food stall, Li Qiu and Xie Cheng like to eat here on weekdays.The price is medium, affordable, and the portion is not bad.The shop owner is very good at doing business, and occasionally gives them a bottle of wine to drink.

After all, they are only seventeen or eighteen years old. Although there are emotions from time to time, it is easy to get out of the sad emotions.Xie Cheng ate the braised lobster with great enjoyment, while drinking wine and bragging about how awesome he was when he was one against ten.Li Qiu heard it was funny, and joined the bragging team, saying what he said to each other, as if he had the ability to be the only one who can be the one who is in control.

After two or three rounds of drinking, it was the most exciting time. The owner came over to refill the dishes. After hearing these words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You two are so good, why don't you go and work hard with Boss Chen, and earn some money!"

Xie Cheng got drunk, his tongue was sticking out, and he stammered, "What—Boss Chen, Boss Chen? You can see clearly, this is Boss Li! He Xie, Boss Xie! I am the boss!"

When Li Qiu heard that there was money to be made, he suddenly regained consciousness and asked, "Which road is that Boss Chen from?"

The shopkeeper put the stir-fried sixties on the table, "I don't know, but I'm not a local. It seems that I'm coming to Changyang to work. I'm looking for someone who can fight. The price should not be cheap. Why, do you want to go?"

Li Qiu took a bite of food, "If you have money to make, why don't you go? Uncle, please help me to build a bridge."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You're just a smart kid. Okay, I'll give you a lead. In a few days, you go with this stunned young man. I can't help you if you can choose."

"Good."

This meal was so satisfying that Li Qiu and Xie Cheng were almost drunk.The food stall was a little far away from Li Qiu's house, and it was getting late, so the two supported each other and went back to Xie Cheng's house.

Xie Cheng opened the door, the light in the living room was still on.Grandpa Xie Cheng was sitting on the chair, unexpectedly startled Li Qiu and Xie Cheng.

Xie Chengdao, "Grandpa... what are you doing?"

Grandpa Xie pushed his reading glasses, "Where did you go?"

"Go out to eat with Li Qiu and come back, look, it's Li Qiu." He pushed Li Qiu behind him to Grandpa.Li Qiu has a good drinker and can still control himself, when he sees the old man coming out, he greets him.

The old man rubbed his eyes and looked at Li Qiu's face carefully, but his eyes did not fall on Li Qiu, as if he was looking at someone's shadow.At the end, he laughed and didn't talk to the two of them, humming a song, trembling into the back room.

Xie Cheng also woke up a little bit, the two were relatively silent, each took a shower and went to bed.

Li Qiu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he patted Xie Cheng, whose back was turned to him, and said, "Chengzi, grandpa is still like this?"

"It's always been like this, it's not good."

Li Qiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Otherwise... Let my grandma and your grandpa make a pair."

"Look at him like that, it's not going to work." Xie Cheng turned over and stared at the ceiling, "It's not a matter of make up, he has more and more sick days, and sometimes he doesn't even know who I am Yes. If Grandma Li marries him, she may suffer a lot."

"And...you know, he didn't dare to say these things before he got sick, and Grandma Li might not be willing. It's fine like this."

"Lizi, let's not worry about the things of the older generation. Go to sleep."

Li Qiu didn't make a sound, he expected that Xie Cheng would also have trouble falling asleep.

He was thinking about his grandma, and after an unknown amount of time, he felt sleepy and allowed himself to close his eyelids.

-----

This sleep lasted until noon the next day, and he got up from the bed in a daze, still a little dizzy.I turned on my phone and found that there were several missed calls.Li Qiu called back, and after listening to the other party's words, his expression gradually became ugly.

He hung up the phone, turned his head to look at Xie Cheng who was slowly putting on his coat, gritted his teeth and said, "We've found a problem."

Xie Cheng's head is still not clear, and he didn't react for a long time.Li Qiu picked up Xie Cheng's pants from the floor and threw them on him, "Put them on, let's go."

The two of them went to the place where Li Qiu parked his favorite bike, and got into the car.Li Qiu ran all the way to the police station.

After getting out of the car, Xie Cheng leaned on the wall and retched, "With you... I fucking vomit once a day... Do you think this is how people live? Drive slowly and die?"

Li Qiu turned around, "The bastard I picked up yesterday is a troublemaker."

After entering the police station, Cheng Xue was already waiting for them in the lobby.Xie Cheng was in a good mood, "Officer Cheng, aren't you busy today?"

"Fortunately, it's mainly about the kid yesterday." Cheng Xue said, "After the kid came yesterday, he refused to have contact with others. We can't send him to the orphanage. It won't work in the long run. I heard you said that he was willing to talk to Li yesterday. The husband eats together, so we want the two of you to help, to see if the child can let his guard down."

It's not such a troublesome thing as imagined, but Li Qiu was a little bit unhappy after delaying his trip to see grandma, so he didn't speak, just nodded.

Cheng Xue led them to a room with pink and white walls, and the interior decoration looked extremely warm, with a variety of toys on the cabinets.Probably a place for children to stay.

The child was curled up in the corner of the room, and directly opposite him was a girl in a princess dress who was dressed like a little doll.Seeing Cheng Xue, she flew over, "Mom, he's so fierce! He doesn't play with me, he bites me!"

Cheng Xue briefly comforted her child, turned around to look at Li Qiu and Xie Cheng, and smiled helplessly. The meaning was obvious: no matter whether it is her peers or the staff of the police station, children will never be trusted, so be on guard. The psychology is too heavy, and they can't do anything about it.

Xie Cheng understood, and said softly, "Look at me."

He walked up to the child, squatted down, "Hi, I'm the handsome guy who bought you water."

Seeing that the child didn't respond, he leaned forward again, "You haven't eaten or drank for almost a day, this is not good, go with brother, brother has delicious food."

He reached out to pick up the child, but the child bit his hand hard.

"Let me go! Lizi! He's really going to bite! Ah! It hurts! Fuck me! Let go, brother!" Xie Cheng didn't dare to be rough on the child, so he could only try to struggle.

By the time the child let go, deep teeth marks had been left on his hands, which were still bleeding.

The child stared at him with burning eyes.Xie Cheng hurriedly backed out, and stretched out his hand in front of Li Qiu, "Lizi...does this little kid you picked belong to a dog?"

Li Qiu blew twice perfunctorily, then picked it up and rubbed it casually, he screamed in pain.Xie Cheng doesn't get sympathy from Li Qiu, but he and Cheng Xue's daughter have a common topic of sympathy and sympathy.

Li Qiu looked at the child huddled in the corner, sighed, and stopped a few steps away from the child, "Which troublesome mountain are you? If you want to go home, cooperate with them, don't delay people do things."

"What are you doing?" Xie Chengzheng was having a good chat with the child, when he heard Li Qiu's impersonal words, he couldn't help but criticize, "Are you persuading or scolding, Master Li?"

However, the child let go of his guard, and stared at Li Qiu with bright eyes.

Being watched by such innocent and pure eyes, the dissatisfaction in Li Qiu's heart also faded a bit, and he still faintly felt guilty for his words and deeds just now.Li Qiu softened his attitude, and said, "Don't stay like this, come here, you can go home early if you are obedient."

His words were a bit commanding, not as friendly as Xie Cheng's.But to everyone's surprise, the child slowly stood up, walked up to Li Qiu, and looked up at Li Qiu.

Li Qiu was once again suffocated by the pungent sour smell, he tried his best to control his facial lines so that they would be as soft as possible so as not to scare the children.In this kind of situation where he was trying to hold his breath while controlling his expression, he felt that it would be nice for him to be able to say a word.He held back for a long time, and finally spit out two words, "So cute."

The child was still staring at him, his scalp was numb, he turned around and asked Cheng Xue, "Uh, then... what should I do?"

Cheng Xue winked at him from the side, Li Qiu suddenly remembered Cheng Xue's words before, understood what she meant, and said to the child, "Listen to Auntie Cheng obediently, they will help you find your parents."

The child did not respond.

Li Qiu scratched his face, "Then I'm leaving."

He turned around, and as soon as he took a step, he felt something tugging at him—the child ruthlessly tugged at the hem of his clothes to prevent him from leaving.

Li Qiu was startled, and looked down at the child.The child's face was filthy, but his eyes were round and bright, and his eyes were a bit reluctant.

By accident, Li Qiu understood what he meant: You said you would take me home.
