A sound of "clang" woke him up. A woman with a child threw a dollar at the beggar next to him, and then she threw another dollar in front of her. Qian Qian looked at the money on the ground and was taken aback for a moment. I finally understood that the woman regarded him as a beggar. He picked up the money and put it in the broken jar of the beggar beside him.
The old beggar began to chat with him.
"Where is your hometown?"
"I do not remember."
"Listen to the accent, are you from the south?"
"It seems so."
"My hometown is in the north, in Jilin. I came out to look for my son. My son has been working in the south for four years, but I haven't returned home, and now I can't reach him by phone. My mother told me to come and look for him. I only knew that he was working in Yihu City, so I ran here. It¡¯s been a year since I came out, and the money has been used up, and the baby hasn¡¯t been found yet.¡±
"You have been looking for a year" Qian Qian was dumbfounded. It turns out that finding someone is such a difficult thing. After these few days, I almost broke my legs from running, thinking that I was the most tired and stupid one. It turned out that there was another father who was looking for his son thousands of miles away, and he had not found it after searching for a year.
"Are you looking for someone too?" asked the old beggar.
"Um."
"Looking for a son, or a daughter?"
"Xun" Qian Qian didn't know how to speak, and held back for a long time before saying, "Daughter."
"Do you have any photos?"
"Yes." Qian Qian took out Cui Qian's photo from his arms and handed it to the old beggar.
"This girl looks good."
"Have you seen it?" Qian Qian was pleasantly surprised when he heard the old beggar's words.
"I've seen it."
"Did you really see it? Where did you see it? Tell me!" Qian Qian was very excited.
"I was begging three days ago near Yinyang Group. There is a very high-end coffee shop called Eden Court. I was begging on the side of the road at the entrance. Passers-by saw me and gave me 10 cents and 50 cents. Yes, there is also a piece. I saw this girl was with a young man, so I went up to ask for it. The girl looked through the bag and said that there was no change, and asked the man to look for it. The man found a ten-yuan bill for him. Me. At that time, I was still thinking that the next time I asked for money, I would only look for couples. Men usually behave very generously in front of women." The old beggar said thoughtfully.
"Where is Yinyang Group?"
"It's quite far from here, on the other side of the mountain."
"Okay. Thank you!" Hope rekindled in Qian Qian's heart. Cui Qian is on the other side of the mountain, on the side of Yinyang Group, in a coffee shop called Eden Court.
He regained strength in his body, he did not intend to go around from the outside like the old beggar, but chose to climb over the mountain directly to the other side of the mountain.
Wind and Valley There are many hills in the area, which are continuous and form multiple valleys, hence the name Fenghe Valley. But the center of Fenghe Valley is outside the mountain. The terrain outside the mountain is flat, adjacent to the sea, and the most prosperous area of ??Fenghe Valley is on the seashore.
The continuous hills stretch as far as the eye can see. Qian Qian forgets how long he has climbed and how many hills he has climbed, but he still cannot see the end of the hill. He continued to crawl, his hands were torn, his shoes were rotten, and his feet were blistered. Tired and thirsty, he sat on a raised rock. He took out his only half bottle of mineral water and took a sip. He didn't know how much road ahead he had to go, and there were no people in this place, let alone shops. After drinking this bottle of water, I don't know how long it will take to get another bottle.
He slept under a pine tree for a while. The summer sun was very poisonous and the weather was so hot that he was soaked from head to toe. The sound of running water came to his ears, which made him excited. I searched for the sound of water, and it turned out to be a spring with water flowing. Qian Qian slowly moved his body to the spring, and raised his mouth, a stream of cool and sweet spring water poured into his body. He immediately felt refreshed. When he was full, he drank the water again with his hand, washed his face again, and filled the bottle with water again.
"I must find Trish!" He secretly made up his mind and set off again.
When the sun went down, he finally saw the "foot of the mountain". There is a residential area, neat rows of commercial housing, and towering buildings.
In this city, he is destined to be a stranger, a passerby, especially after sunset.
He stinks of sweat, wearing clothes that haven't been changed for many days, and was rejected by several brothers. He looked like a beggar. He asked passers-by where is Yinyang International and where is Eden Court. After inquiring all the way, he came to the Eden Garden Cafe in the middle of the night.
The cafe is about to close, and the "close" sign has been put up. butQianqian still insisted on going in. Two security guards stopped him, pointed to the closed sign and said, "Sir, we are closed here."
"Let me in." Qian Qian said, still wanting to rush in.
The two security guards pushed him out very rudely, and he sat down on the ground.
He spent the night, exactly midnight, under a flyover.
At dawn, he appeared at the gate of Eden Garden again, but the coffee shop was not open. He noticed that the business hours written on the door were 9:00 to 23:00.
He bought an egg pancake and a bag of milk from a snack cart on the street, and sat on the side of the road to eat. He was waiting for the cafe to open. It seemed that at that moment, in his opinion, when the cafe opened, he could see Trish.
After breakfast time, the number of people who came to buy egg pancakes gradually decreased. Seeing him sitting there, the owner of the snack cart chatted with him.
"See you have been waiting here for three hours, who are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the cafe to open."
"The things in that store are not cheap."
"Well. I don't eat, I'm looking for someone."
"oh."
"You've been selling egg pancakes here?"
"Well, it's been half a year. It's been selling here. The flow of people here is okay."
When Qian Qian heard this, his eyes lit up, and he took out a photo of Cui Qian from his arms: "Have you seen this girl?"
The boss took a look at the photo, pointed to Cui Qian's face with greasy hands, and said, "I don't have much impression, it seems to be a female star."
"You are thinking, this girl, she has been to this coffee shop! She has been to this cafe before!"
The boss looked carefully again: "I seem to have seen it before, but I don't seem to be. There are so many people coming and going here, how can I remember it clearly. This girl works in a coffee shop?"
Qian Qian shook his head.
"Why don't you go to the coffee shop and ask."
Two yawning girls pulled up the shutter door of the coffee shop. The "close" in front of the glass door has also been replaced with "open".
Qian Qian hurried forward and asked them with a photo.
The two girls pinched their noses, glanced at the photo, and shook their heads.
"Look carefully, it's impossible you haven't seen it." Qian Qian was very excited.
"I haven't seen it, I just haven't seen it! You are so annoying!" One of them said impatiently.
"Look! Look again!"
The two girls hid in the coffee shop like the plague. Close the glass door from the inside.
Qian Qian knocked on the glass door, and the two security guards came out last night.
"Why are you again, what are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"
Qian Qian took out the photo again, and the security guard just glanced at it, and then yelled: "I don't know! I don't know! Let's go! Let's go! Don't make trouble, we still have business here."
Qian Qian refused to give up and insisted on going in. The tall security guard pushed him, and he staggered a few steps, but fortunately he held onto the wall.
The tall security guard said: "There's no one you're looking for here, get out of here." After speaking, he tore Trish's photo into pieces, threw his hand up, and scattered it all over the floor.
Qian Qian picked up the torn photos and carefully put them together on the side of the road, but they couldn't put them together. The part of the photo with Trish's face on it couldn't be found no matter what.
On this day, he has been guarding the road opposite the coffee shop, next to a shoe shine shop, sitting for a whole day.
There were a lot of people coming in and out of the coffee shop, and he watched them all with all his energy. He very much hoped that among these people, his Trish would suddenly appear. This longing occupied his mind, and he was not a normal person now.
Sunrise and sunset, his heart is full of hope, and then disappointed again and again. The shutter door of the coffee shop went up and down again. Qian Qian waited for seven days and seven nights beside the shoe shine shop, but Cui Qian never showed up.
He fell into despair, and his whole body was emaciated. He chanted the name "Tracey" and wandered the streets like a walking dead. I don't know how long I've been walking, I don't know where I'm going. Until one day, on my way to work, he was almost hit by my car. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
