The child raised his head.
I just feel that the sky is full of red "butterflies".
The child held his breath unconsciously.
...
"kid."
...
"kid!"
...
The child suddenly woke up.
She turned her head in almost panic.
...
The old lady was a little scared by the child's expression.
A look of shock appeared on his face.
...
After a few seconds, the beautiful red shadows remaining on the eyeballs dissipated and the child saw clearly...
The one who appeared in front of her...
It's an old lady.
...
The child pursed his lips.
Finally met someone...
The child is not as happy as he imagined.
She even complained in her heart that the old lady had disturbed her from looking at the maple leaves.
...
The child's expression returned to normal, and the old lady's expression also eased.
She shook her head slightly.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Little kid, did the old woman scare you just now?"
"Feel sorry."
...
The child immediately shook his head in a panic.
I was stuttering and didn't know what to say.
Because of her physical reasons, she rarely comes into contact with strangers alone.
He is not good at getting along with strangers.
and……
She remembered that her parents told her many times not to talk to strangers casually.
Mom and Dad said...
If you get lost with your parents, don't walk around and wait for them to come here.
She should be waiting for her parents at the school gate.
Maybe my parents are just late...
Did mom and dad find her?
The child's expression became more and more uneasy.
...
Seeing this, the old lady bent down slightly with a kind look, "Little boy, why are you here alone?"
“Don’t you go to school?”
Today is not a day off.
It's not the usual time to finish school now.
Children of this age should all be in school.
Why is this child here alone?
Won't……
Was it quit school?
A flash of inspiration in the old lady's mind.
But this child doesn't look like a naughty student who can skip school...
The old lady looked at the child.
...
"School ends early today."
The child is dull.
"Say the weather is not good..."
"There is a typhoon coming..."
...
oh.
The old lady suddenly realized.
She nodded, "Yes, the weather forecast means that a typhoon will come when there is a time to come."
"So it's time for school holidays."
"Then why haven't you come home yet?"
The old lady was puzzled, "Wait until there will be a typhoon coming."
Don't be blown away by the typhoon at that time.
......
"I……"
The child's face suddenly turned red.
"I……"
...
The old lady waited patiently for the child's answer.
...
The child was stirring his fingers unconsciously.
"I……"
"Catching a cat..."
“I can’t find my way back to school.”
The child said honestly with his eyes down.
...
ah?
The old lady was stunned.
That's what happened...
...
"Mom and Dad can't find me..."
The child's mouth sags.
My eyes began to turn red.
...
"Don't be anxious."
The old lady immediately comforted the child, "Grandma takes you to school."
“Not far.”
“The school is nearby.”
“It will be here soon.”
That's why she didn't expect the possibility that her child would get lost.
It seems like a child with a bad sense of direction.
...
"Come."
The old lady stretched out her hand.
"Grandma takes you back to school."
...
The child's eyes glow slightly.
After hesitating for a while, she reached out to hold the old lady's hand.
...
The old lady lowered her head and smiled at the child.
She realized that the child's eyes were red.
I just cried.
I feel scared because I can't find my parents...
...
"We will see our parents soon."
The old lady comforts the child.
...
The child nodded.
After walking a few steps, she remembered something.
The child looks back.
The maple trees are a little far away.
The fiery red color is like a sharp blade, traveling through time and space, leaving a deep mark on the child's eyes and heart.
...
The old lady turned back as if she was aware of it.
I noticed those maple trees all at once.
She smiled, "Like maple trees?"
...
The child turned his head at a loss.
A few seconds later, she nodded.
So beautiful.
...
The old lady bent her mouth.
“It’s the season for maple leaves to be red.”
“There are not many maple trees here.”
"If you like it, let your parents take you to Xiangshan to see the maple trees during your holiday."
"There are so many maple trees there...there are all over the mountains and fields..."
“It’s spectacular, so beautiful.”
...
The child pursed his lips.
The eyes were filled with anticipation because of the old lady's description.
Maple trees all over the mountains...
Wow……
...
"arrive."
The old lady reminded the child, "Look."
"There is your school ahead, right?"
...
The child suddenly raised his eyes.
The next second, a surprise smile appeared on the child's face.
Um!
The child nodded vigorously.
It's her school!
She returned to her school!
...
The old lady smiled.
“Is it very close?”
...
She led the child to the school gate.
She looked around.
The school has indeed ended.
It's quiet.
They are the only ones at the school gate.
“…Have your parents not arrived yet?”
The old lady looked at the child, "Are you still there but haven't seen you, so you went to find you somewhere else?"
...
The child pursed his lips tightly.
She... doesn't know.
When I returned to school, the child breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, she became nervous and panicked again.
Mom and Dad...
Why haven't I picked her up yet?
...
"It's fine."
The old lady comforts the child.
With her here, she will accompany the child to find her parents.
"Do you have a phone call from your parents?"
The old lady asked.
Nowadays, many parents will ask their children to carry their parents' phone numbers just in case.
...
The child shook his head.
Her situation is quite special.
Because of her physical reasons, her parents never asked her for many things.
Moreover, she is used to being with her parents almost always.
This accident made her realize the helplessness and fear of her parents not being around for the first time.
...
No?
The old lady was a little surprised.
"fine."
Since that's the case, then you can only...
"Let's go and ask the police uncle for help."
The old lady looked at the quiet school.
If this child’s teacher is still in school, it’s better to find a teacher.
But the teacher should have gone home too.
...
Those who attend this school are all children from nearby communities.
It's an elementary school after all.
All are learned nearby.
The police should be able to find the child's parents soon.
...
"Let's go."
The old lady shook the child's hand slightly, "Let's go find the police uncle."
If the child’s parents are also looking for the child, let the police find them as soon as possible so that they will no longer look for the child everywhere like headless flies.
...
Um.
The child nodded.
Chapter completed!
