Jiang Qiu smiled softly, touched Shen Xiaochu's silky hair, strode to the front desk, borrowed a pair of scissors, and helped Shen Xiaochu cut off the bright red color on the sheets.
Seeing Shen Xiaochu carefully put away the small piece of bed sheet like a treasure, Jiang Qiu felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavier.
This poor girl gave him her most precious thing. Jiang Qiu felt that he must shoulder his responsibility as a man.
That night, Jiang Qiu just hugged Shen Xiaochu and fell asleep, without doing anything else.
You can't make the girl in your arms more painful just for the sake of your own momentary pleasure.
It wasn't until the third day after arriving in the mountain city, after Shen Xiaochu's pain had mostly dissipated and he could walk normally, that Jiang Qiu chartered a car and set off all the way to Jiuhua Village, the hometown in Shen Xiaochu's memory.
This place lives up to its name as a mountain city. Everywhere you look, it’s either uphill or downhill, and everything but mountains is mountains.
A person is nourished by the soil and water. During the entire journey to the mountain city, Jiang Qiu didn't know how many naturally beautiful women he saw on the road.
The rumors that Sichuan and Chongqing are rich in beauties are not false.
But none of what I saw on the road could compare to Shen Xiaochu in Jiang Qiu's arms.
If girls from Sichuan and Chongqing are all beautiful pearls, then Shen Xiaochu is the most shining one among all pearls.
"Young man, Jiuhua Village is ahead."
The driver spoke Mandarin with a Sichuan and Chongqing flavor and pointed to a peeled-off road sign ahead.
It says "Jiuhua Village".
Shen Xiaochu raised his little head from Jiang Qiu's arms, his eyes a little dazed.
Until the moment he got off the bus, Shen Xiaochu stood on the asphalt road in Jiuhua Village in a daze.
Jiang Qiu paid the fare to the driver and left each other's contact information.
He turned around and took Shen Xiaochu's tender little hand, and spoke softly.
"Do you still have an impression?"
Shen Xiaochu did not answer, looking around blankly, walking forward step by step with difficulty.
Jiang Qiu didn't bother, just followed silently.
After a long time, Shen Xiaochu's big eyes flashed with sparkle, he pointed to a pear tree not far away and murmured.
"That pear tree, the leader Jia Ahua and I climbed up and picked pears."
Then he pointed to other places, his voice trembling.
"There are little figures I drew on that wall."
"My grandpa and I chased ducks by that river!"
"That canteen, I like the plum candy sold there the most!"
……………
Shen Xiaochu walked all the way, dragging Jiang Qiu uncontrollably to introduce him.
Jiang Qiu did not tire of it, but was sincerely happy that a girl who had left home returned to her hometown.
After a long time, Shen Xiaochu suddenly stopped.
Lowering his head, big tears poured out from the corners of his eyes crazily.
It turned out that Shen Xiaochu had already burst into tears at some unknown time.
She never dreamed that one day she would return to her hometown!
Shen Xiaochu threw herself into Jiang Qiu's arms, crying happily.
Before this, even if she cried, she only dared to sob and did not dare to make a loud noise.
But at this time, his hometown was right in front of him, and Shen Xiaochu's soul, which had been banned for two years, was finally released.
It was already approaching dusk, and the villagers in Jiuhua Village were all planning to take a rest and sleep. The crying on the street made them open their doors and windows one after another.
An old lady holding a cattail leaf fan came forward and spoke with a strong Sichuan and Chongqing accent.
Jiang Qiu didn't quite understand.
But Shen Xiaochu in her arms wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, tried her best to reveal her stunningly beautiful face, and sobbed.
"Aunt Lu, I'm Xiao Chu."
The lady was confused for a while, as if she was thinking about who Xiao Chu was.
But immediately, Shen Xiaochu's beautiful face immediately brought back Aunt Lu's memories.
A pair of eyes widened, Aunt Lu said in shock.
"You are Xiaochu! The sister of the Guangming family! Shen Xiaochu!"
Then Aunt Lu was extremely surprised, pointed at Shen Xiaochu and said loudly to the neighbors.
"Come quickly! The sister of the Guangming family, Shen Xiaochu, is back!"
Many villagers came forward one after another, with simple smiles and surprises on their faces, talking to each other around Shen Xiaochu.
They were all deeply impressed by this girl who disappeared two years ago.
After a while, a shout came.
"The light is coming! Quickly! Get out of the way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a stumbling figure running not far away.
This man was very thin, with white hair, and looked extremely old. His nose and eyebrows were very similar to Shen Xiaochu. He came in a hurry wearing only a pair of underwear. It looked like he had gotten up from the bed in a hurry.
He is Shen Xiaochu's father, Shen Guangming.
The moment father and daughter met, there was no such joy. The two hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.
"Girl!...You are finally back!...Where have you been!"
Shen Guangming, a middle-aged man in his forties, cried like a child at this time.
Shen Xiaochu was speechless, tears welled up in her eyes, and she hugged her father's skinny chest tightly, never wanting to be separated again.
The surrounding villagers were all smiling, and some ladies even had tears in their eyes.
When Shen Xiaochu disappeared, the whole village helped to find her. No one wanted anything bad to happen to this beautiful and lovely girl.
Shen Xiaochu's parents went crazy and searched all over the village for more than ten kilometers in one night.
I didn't sleep for four days and four nights, and still no news.
Shen Xiaochu's mother couldn't bear the blow, and she didn't sleep for four days. She fell into coma on the spot and was admitted to the county hospital.
Not long after, he died in depression.
The disappearance of his daughter and the death of his wife instantly overwhelmed Shen Guangming, a middle-aged man. His originally well-proportioned figure became skinny in just one month.
He has a head full of black hair and a patch of silver, and his face looks like that of an old man in his seventies or eighties.
In the next two years, Shen Guangming was either waiting at home for his daughter to return, or going out looking for her daughter every now and then.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire mountain city has Shen Guangming's footprints.
In the eyes of this powerless middle-aged man, the only place in the world that is mountainous is the mountain city. He never imagined that Shen Xiaochu would leave the mountain city the next day after being abducted.
Finally, we came to Sanyang City, which is thousands of kilometers away.
When she learned that her mother had passed away, Shen Xiaochu burst into tears in her father's arms.
Jiang Qiu silently wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes and sighed.
I pity the hearts of parents in the world.
Then he cursed angrily in his heart!
Human traffickers should be cut to pieces!
Families are broken up, wives and children are separated, all these human tragedies are caused by shit like human traffickers!
Going to the eighteenth level of hell is not an exaggeration!
Shen Guangming helped Shen Xiaochu back home. Although he didn't know Jiang Qiu, Shen Guangming knew that it was Jiang Qiu who sent his daughter back, so he was extremely enthusiastic towards Jiang Qiu.
After sitting at Shen Xiaochu's house for a while, Jiang Qiu's phone rang.
At first glance, it turned out to be Song Chengping calling.
As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Qiu was stunned by Song Chengping's first words.
