Chapter 11 The Missing Child (Part 2)
Several days have passed, and Ruan Zhan has not seen even one side of the child, or a complete side.
I don’t know if this child is afraid of strangers or something else, but he just refuses to see Ruan Zhan. Ruan Zhan went to knock on the door. He said that Aunt Xiaoxia had said not to open the door to strangers. When Ruan Zhan and Lu Yan entered the house together, he would bury his face deeply in his mother's arms and refuse to raise his head. Whenever he was pulled, he would cry and scream, making both Lu Yan and Ruan Zhan embarrassed. .
However, judging from the smell of his body, Ruan Zhan felt that he was really just a normal, a little autistic and disabled child, and Lu Yan also had nothing unusual, so Ruan Zhan eliminated Suspicious of the mother and child, she was busy investigating the case of the missing child.
Xiao Xia is not idle either. Her sick leave is almost over. Although she often feels uncomfortable, she has no time to rest in order to completely help Lu Yan and her son. She felt that Ruan Zhan was right. Helping the poor would not help, and financial relief was useless. She had to find a way to create a good environment for Lu Yan.
But creating an environment also requires money. In the past few months, she had not worked seriously and her income was limited, so she extended her evil black hand to Bao Datong, who was seeking huge profits. Unexpectedly, Bao Datong was even poorer than her. He didn't have a penny in his pocket, and his daily food and drink expenses cost Ruan Zhan and Wan Li. After inquiring, I found out that Bao Datong had donated all the money he had scraped from the rich man to charity.
"Even if you keep eighteen thousand, it would be better than being in trouble now! Isn't it a good thing to help Lu Yan?" Xiao Xia blamed Bao Datong, but her impression of him changed greatly in her heart.
She originally thought that he was just a slippery-tongued, cunning and lustful little Taoist priest, but she didn't know that he was a broad-minded and informal good man. It was remarkable that he did good deeds without leaving his name behind. The important thing was that he didn't mind if others misunderstood him. , quite a bit of treating money like dirt, and having a free and uninhibited attitude.
"How about sucking Wanli's blood?" Bao Datong suggested. Although his face was sincere, his eyes couldn't hide his excitement, and he looked like he was gloating at his misfortune.
"If you want to punish him, you'd better find another way." Xiao Xia sighed, "His salary is very high, but the quality of life he requires is also very high, so he is a complete moonlight clan. I have to shamelessly eat and drink here with Ruan Zhan."
Xiaoxia was very upset when she said this. Wanli likes traveling so much that he doesn't want to go with tour groups. He flies around the country and abroad as long as he has holidays. He finally saves money to buy a car because he wants to travel conveniently, but because he wants to buy that house that no one wants, he also wants to buy a car. used up. Fortunately, it was a haunted house where horrific murders had occurred, and the price was so low that it was almost free, otherwise he would still be living in a rented house.
Also, it’s not for nothing that he dresses and behaves as elegantly and superiorly as a yuppie. Unlike Ruan Zhan, he doesn't have any luxury goods, and his clothes are just a simple shirt and jeans. But why can he wear such ordinary clothes so stylishly?
"How about we become parasitic on Ruan Zhan's body together."
"Bad idea, shameful idea!" Xiao Xia rolled her eyes at Bao Datong, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Ruan Zhan walking over.
"Take this card, the password is my birthday." He seemed to know why Xiao Xia was worried, "The money is not much, but it can still help Lu Yan buy a smaller store."
"This——"
"What? I can't use my money? Or is our relationship not as good as Wan Li and Bao Datong?" Ruan Zhan asked rhetorically.
Xiao Xia shook her head hurriedly, "No, no, Wan Li has no money at all, you know that. I thought, Bao Datong's money was ill-gotten gains, and I was robbing him to give to the poor, so——"
"Then take it first, not for you. You have to pay it back." Ruan Zhan couldn't bear Xiaoxia's embarrassment and nervousness, so he put the bank card in Xiaoxia's hand, "That's it, I have something else to do, what's the matter? Let’s talk about it later.”
"My money is ill-gotten gains?" Bao Datong saw Xiaoxia still looking at Ruan Zhan's disappeared back in a daze, and took the bank card into his hand, "Put it here first, and I'll show you See what robbing the rich and giving to the poor really means!"
Bao Datong said so fiercely that Xiaoxia thought he was going to spend all Ruan Zhan's money. Unexpectedly, he only spent less than one-tenth of what he expected. Xiaoxia also saw what it means to rob the rich and give to the poor.
Xiaoxia wanted to open a children's products store for Lu Yan. She chose three stores, and finally Bao Datong chose one of them. This store is the largest among the three, has the best location, has the highest price, and has housing behind it. The store is well-decorated. Most importantly, according to Bao Datong's investigation, the developer of this property is the most unkind. Although It's not that he's done all the bad things, but at least he's sinister, mean, and shamelessly stingy.
Watching Bao Datong's process of punishing this unscrupulous wealthy businessman, Xiaoxia finally understood why it is such a terrible thing for people with Taoism but no kindness and restraint. She saw with her own eyes that Bao Datong performed many illusions, which made the wealthy businessman think that he had provoked a vicious evil spirit and scared him to death. Then she asked around for a magician with magical powers, and found Bao Datong as expected. Then, Bao Datong fought with the non-existent evil spirit in front of the wealthy businessman, and even suffered minor injuries before he was able to subdue him. Finally, he told the wealthy businessman that when he was developing a certain piece of real estate, he had touched the earth dragon and evil spirits below, which was why he suffered this disaster. He had to find a woman with an extremely lonely fate to move into the new building. It was best to face the earth dragon and accept the evil spirit. When it comes to the earth's energy, that is, on the side of Xirong Street, using yin to control yin can ensure his future safety.
There is a commercial street over there, and the first floor is full of merchants.
At this time, Lu Yan went to inquire about the store at Xiao Xia's instruction. She didn't know Xiaoxia and Bao Datong's plan, so she naturally looked very nervous and humble, which attracted the attention of the wealthy businessman's subordinates. She then asked Bao Datong to calculate, saying that this woman's fate was extremely yin and could solve the crisis.
So everything went smoothly. Lu Yan bought the store for less than one-tenth of the price, and the large sum of money paid by the wealthy businessman to Bao Datong happened to help Lu Yan buy a batch of goods. In less than a week, Lu Yan's small shop opened.
"I know what you want to say. I shouldn't use Taoism to confuse people's hearts." Bao Datong shrugged, "If my father saw me like this, he might kill me. But although this is wrong, it still feels like But it’s fun.”
At this time, they were walking on the way to Lu Yan's new home to see if there was anything else they could do to help. The newly moved home is about to open for business again, so it must be very busy, and this is the last day of Xiaoxia's vacation. Because she kept getting into trouble after being sent to 'Help', Director Pan transferred her back to 'Changkong'.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with you." Xiao Xia was out of breath as she walked away. "I just think it's terrible that bad people have mastered your abilities." She thought of Sima Nan, "There's only a thin line between doing good and doing evil. time."
"Don't worry, I won't do evil." Bao Datong grinned, "But I really admire that real estate developer. He can change from passive to active. He is really good at making money. You see, he is obviously looking for A woman helped him suppress his bad luck, but he organized a lottery, advertised extensively, attracted countless buyers, and then gave the predetermined prize to the person who was most beneficial to him. Hou, it's really i I’m convinced!”
Xiaoxia nodded with deep understanding, "This is all such a coincidence. Do you think he ever doubted us?"
"Of course, he is so shrewd and has already investigated us secretly. However, we have done a good job in the preliminary work, and I have added some strong information to him, so he is not afraid!"
The two of them talked and walked all the way, and soon they arrived at Xirong Street, which was very close to the bar.
Lu Yan was still busy. When she saw Xiaoxia and Bao Datong coming, she quickly let them into the store. Lu Yan was full of gratitude to both of them. With this small shop, her income should increase a lot, so that she can have money to continue to treat the child. Also, since there is a place to stay behind, she no longer has to leave the child at home every day.
"Will it open tomorrow?" Xiao Xia saw that she could help Lu Yan. Although she was physically tired, she was in good spirits. "It's a pity that I have to report to the office tomorrow and can't come to support."
"I really don't know what to say." Lu Yan smiled shyly, "Thank you for helping me. You are all good people. I will definitely pay back this money."
"Of course, you will get rich in the future! Will you still deduct our money? Everyone knows that children's money is the best to earn. If I can't survive in the future, remember to ask me to be your buddy." Bao Datong mouthed He said sweetly, thinking of Ruan Zhan's unbelievable look when he returned Ruan Zhan's bank card a few days ago, and he was in a good mood.
"Where is the little boy? I haven't seen him in so many days." Xiao Xia looked around.
"This child is very afraid of birth. He has to adapt to the new environment. Now he is hiding behind and refusing to come out." Lu Yan said,
"Then I'll go find him myself." Xiaoxia stood up, knowing that Lu Yan and Bao Datong had something to say, so she avoided them.
Although the environment has greatly improved, Lu Yan still cannot forget her desire to see her husband. As a woman, Xiaoxia sympathized with Lu Yan's experience. She always thought that if Ruan Zhan died, she would continue to be sad and her heart would be hollowed out like this!
"Little boy, little boy?" Xiaoxia knocked on the bedroom door, but no one answered.
"If you don't answer, Auntie will break in." Xiaoxia asked again, but still no one answered, so she opened the door gently and walked in.
No one.
How is this possible? The child cannot go anywhere else, not to mention that his special small wheelchair is still placed in the center of the room and the windows are tightly closed. Where can he hide in this less than twenty square meters? go?
Is it a child's nature to play hide and seek with her?
"Little boy, where are you?" Xiaoxia called his name softly while searching around, "Auntie caught me, but I'm going to spank you!"
There is no bathroom; there is no one under the quilt; there is no one under the bed; there is no one under the table. The only thing left is the wardrobe!
"Nowhere? Okay, I want to see the cabinet."
Xiaoxia deliberately said loudly, walked over step by step, and listened for a while, but there was no sound at all. This made Xiaoxia couldn't help but smile, thinking that this little thing was really calm. Not only could he hold back, but he could also hold his breath.
"The boy is here!" Xiaoxia yelled and suddenly opened the closet door, but what he saw in the closet made him stunned!
Except for the clothes hanging all over the place, there is still no one! Is the kid really not here? Where did he go? The store is the only way to go outside. Why didn't Lu Yan notice that the child was missing? !
Hehe--
A chuckle came from the depths of the cabinet, and Xiaoxia felt a chill in her heart. Before she understood what was going on, she felt all the clothes rushing toward her. Then her vision went dark, and a strong force threw her down. land!
Being at a loss for a few seconds, she suddenly felt like she was being buried. Only then did she realize that the wardrobe had fallen over and held her upside down. In a panic, she wanted to take away the heavy clothes covering her body, but found that her hand was suppressed by something and could not move at all. Instead, something cold moved around her body, and soft breathing sounded in her ears.
"Little boy, is that you?" She felt a small hand pushing away the fabric piled on her body. She asked and found that her voice was trembling.
There was no answer, just a chill on her face, a piece of fabric slipped down, and a pair of fireflies swayed in front of her eyes!
"Aunt Xiaoxia." A voice came from the darkness. Although her voice was childish, her tone was slow and cold.
Xiao Xia's heart tightened, knowing that it was the kid talking to her. But it was pitch dark under the cabinet, and she couldn't see his face, only those sparkling eyes.
Can human eyes be so bright in the dark? She couldn't tell!
"Little boy, why did you come here? Look, are we all buried here now?" Xiaoxia moved uneasily, "Don't be afraid, I'll call someone to save us!"
"I'm not afraid." A voice that didn't sound like a child but was still a child said innocently, "I've been staying in very dark places. It's very dark."
"It won't be dark anymore." Xiaoxia comforted her. The darkness made her nervous, but just as she was about to call someone, Xiaotong interrupted her again.
"Auntie's words don't count, so I have to punish Auntie." He said a little angrily, "You said you would come to play with me, but you never came."
"Auntie is sick."
"Auntie lied. Auntie is not sick at all!" A cold little hand held Xiaoxia's wrist.
Xiaoxia ducked subconsciously and happened to hit a nail that was not completely driven into the wood. She screamed in pain.
"I don't like that Uncle Ruan! I want my aunt to play with me." The child said willfully.
For a moment, Xiaoxia felt that the person talking to her was no longer the well-behaved and lovable little boy, but another person. A domineering, sinister adult. She had felt the change in the child before, and now the feeling came again, making her extremely uneasy.
"Okay, I agree. Let Auntie go first, let's call someone to lift the cabinet, okay?" Xiaoxia said, loudly shouting Bao Datong's name.
This time, the child did not stop him, but suddenly hummed a children's song in the dark - throw, throw, throw the handkerchief, and gently put it behind the child, please don't tell him -
I don’t know whether it was the relatively closed and narrow environment or the hypnotic singing voice of the child. Xiaoxia suddenly had a hallucination. She felt that she was buried in a barrel-shaped thing underground and her whole body was filled with cold liquid. !
With a 'swish', a beam of bright light struck, which was so exciting that Xiaoxia couldn't even open her eyes. Then, a hand picked her up from the ground.
"How was it?"
Xiaoxia let out a long breath and finally recovered.
"That - I was playing hide and seek with the kid. As a result, the cabinet fell over."
"This child, isn't it that you are not allowed to get out of the wheelchair at will? You even climbed into the cabinet, why are you so disobedient!" Lu Yan on the other side scolded the child, but her hands gently caressed his little body. , as if to make sure he wasn't hurt.
How could the cabinet fall? It stands to reason that unless it is pulled hard by hand, it will not fall and hurt anyone!
Bao Datong turned his head and glanced at the mother and son, and suddenly felt that they were weird. Although on the surface, one was gentle and shy, and the other was innocent, which looked normal with magic, but in an instant , his heart seemed to be slapped, and he immediately became alert.
