Xu Jun and his father separated and each found his own side.
The night was hazy, and the rain was getting heavier. The ground was wet, and the raindrops on the eaves were strung into lines, and the pattering turned into a pattering.
The dogs' fur was wet, squatting under the eaves, their ears drooped, looking at the alley outside the house. Suddenly they heard someone shouting, they twitched their ears and looked over...
Xu Jun held an umbrella and hurriedly passed by, his eyes scanning both sides, looking for the little girl carrying a schoolbag.
Time passed quickly, and Xu Jun became more and more impatient. The rain was so heavy and the night was so dark. If the lonely little girl was really homeless as he suspected, what would happen to her now.
Let alone a little girl of several years old, even if it were Xu Jun himself, he couldn't do it if he was left homeless in Huangjia Village at night.
He will be afraid.
Huangjia Village is very large, and only the center is prosperous. The larger area is filled with remote old houses, which look extremely deserted and scary at night.
"Xiaofan——where are you???"
Xu Jun shouted, his tone more anxious.
"Uncle, have you seen Xiaofeng?"
Xu Jun asked a grocery store owner.
"Xiaofan? Who is it?"
"It's just a little girl, about five years old, carrying a red schoolbag and short hair. Did you see it?"
"Didn't notice."
"Oh, thank you~"
Xu Jun left in disappointment and continued walking two alleys until he came to a fried noodle shop and asked: "Boss, your fried noodle shop is so delicious."
The boss was overjoyed, thinking that there would be business on rainy days.
Unexpectedly, the child's next sentence was: "Boss, have you seen a 5-year-old girl with short hair and a red schoolbag?"
Hearing that he was looking for a child, the boss immediately became serious, thought hard and said, "Carrying a red schoolbag? I think I saw her, but it was in the evening, an hour ago, and she walked that way."
The boss pointed to the alley on the left.
Xu Jun was overjoyed. Although that happened an hour ago, there was finally some news about Xiao Fu, indicating that Xiao Fu was still here.
"Thank you boss~"
"You're welcome. Don't lose the person. Find him home quickly."
Xu Jun walked quickly all the way, calling the little man's name as he walked, but he still couldn't find him.
Almost an hour has passed and no one has been found yet, and the rain has turned into a torrential downpour, thunder bursts, and lightning flashes across the night.
Xu Jun stood at the entrance of an alley, under the eaves of less than half a meter, and called his father with a cry, holding on to his last glimmer of hope, asking his father if he had found the little boy.
Even though I knew that if my father found Xiao Fang, he would definitely call him.
But he still held on to a bit of luck.
"I didn't find her here, but someone saw her." Dad said on the phone.
"I haven't found it either. It's raining so hard, where would she hide..."
As he talked, Xu Jun couldn't help crying.
His father comforted him on the phone, maybe he was not homeless, so don't just think of the worst.
"Several people saw her in the alley. It was so late. If she found her home, she would definitely go home," Xu Jun said.
His father asked where he was and quickly rushed over to meet him.
When Xu Jun saw his father appear, he threw himself into his arms and cried loudly.
No matter how strong you are, no matter how mature you are, you are still just a child after all.
Xu Jun's father, Xu Long, hugged him and gave him a warm embrace without saying anything.
Xu Jun's umbrella fell to the ground. Xu Long tilted the umbrella forward to help him block all the wind and rain, but his back was already soaked by the rain.
After a while, Xu Long said softly: "Did you think of your sister?"
Xu Jun remained silent, and after a while he let out a dull sigh.
He has a twin sister who is only an hour younger than him. Unfortunately, they are now separated by thousands of miles.
They haven't seen each other for almost a year.
After Xu Long divorced his wife, his son was awarded to him and his daughter was awarded to his ex-wife.
When a couple divorces, the children are the ones who suffer the most.
Xu Long felt extremely guilty.
It's already nine o'clock in the evening. It's raining so hard and there's lightning and thunder. People have returned home early.
Seeing that his son was so sad, Xu Long said decisively: "Stop crying. Let's continue searching. We must find Xiaofang tonight."
Xu Jun stopped crying and nodded firmly, "Yeah."
When he saw Xiaofan today, he thought of his sister.
He felt that his sister was like a gangster, and whenever he thought of his sister being homeless and wandering around alone on such a night, he felt heartbroken.
Xu Jun picked up the umbrella that fell on the ground and walked into the night rain to continue looking for people.
"Why don't we come together?" Xu Long suggested. It was so late and it was raining heavily, so he was a little worried about his son.
"No, let's separate. This way we hope to have more hope." Xu Jun decisively refused.
After saying that, he quickly walked into a small alley.
Xu Long watched his son's back disappear into the night. It was small, but in his eyes it was extraordinarily tall. He felt both distressed and proud.
In the next half hour, Xu Jun still couldn't find Xiao Fang, but after asking, someone saw Xiao Fang more than ten minutes ago.
This gave Xu Jun hope and kept him from getting discouraged.
But my heart inevitably became more and more anxious.
Unknowingly, he came to the fried noodle shop before.
"Boss, your fried noodles are so delicious."
The boss heard the sound and looked out. When he saw it was him, he smiled and said, "It smells so good that you won't buy it."
"Hehehe, boss, have you seen Xiaofeng?"
"Are you still looking for it?"
"Yes, I didn't find her."
"You are looking for her in such a hurry, is she your sister?"
"...No, but she looks like my sister."
"Then I understand."
The boss disappeared into the store. Xu Jun quickly asked: "Boss, did you see it?"
The boss didn't reply. Xu Jun thought that he was impatient and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, a soft and gentle female voice came from the store:
"Junzi——"
Xu Jun was not familiar with this voice, but he instantly recognized it. It belonged to Xiao Piao.
He turned around suddenly and looked at the fried rice noodle shop. He saw a girl carrying a small red schoolbag standing among the messy dining tables and chairs, looking at him and smiling.
Xu Jun thought he was dazzled.
"Hehehehe, Junzi, I'd better let you find out, I'm too scared."
Xu Jun was extremely surprised: "You, you - why are you here?"
He looked at the returning boss, as if asking, "So the boss is here with you, but you said you didn't see it."
The boss quickly said: "When you asked me before, the little girl was indeed not here. But after you asked me later, I paid attention and just saw the little boat passing by, so I called her in. It was raining so hard,
Where can she go?"
My hair is a mess, but fortunately it is dry and I wiped it with a towel not long ago.
Xiao Yan's eyes were sparkling, and they shone brightly when he looked at Xu Jun.
"Why do you keep looking for me?" Xiaofeng asked.
"I, I -"
This question stopped Xu Jun. He didn't know how to answer it for a moment. After all, it was the first time that he and Xiao Fang met today and they didn't exchange more than two sentences.
"Hehehe~~~Thank you, Junzi, I'm so happy, hahaha——"
"Ah? Hahahaha~~"
The two children suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
Any explanation is superfluous.
Because we know that true kindness does not need to be explained at all. It is an emotion that comes from the heart.
