Chapter VI
Qiong tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. It was too boring. His grandfather and father were busy treating patients, his mother was a substitute teacher at the nearby kindergarten, and You went to the back of the mountain to catch insects with the shrine's witch Ying.
When Qiong thought of Cang, he started to ponder. She stood up, opened the door, and looked around. There was no one around. She silently walked towards Cang's room and stopped at the door. She looked at the door, thinking about something, and then opened the door.
Cang wasn't inside, only a slightly messy bed. Qiong frowned slightly." Where did he go?" His tone was a little unhappy.
Qiong walked to the kitchen and opened the lid. He saw a few pieces of bread that he hadn't finished eating. His stomach was growling. Qiong covered his stomach with his hand and hesitated for a while. In the end, he took out a piece of bread that he had eaten halfway and started eating it bit by bit.
Qiong walked to the courtyard and looked up at the dazzling sun. However, in the blink of an eye, the sun was covered by clouds.(Let's go find You) Qiong thought to himself. Anyway, it was better than staying at home. Qiong walked up the mountain with this thought in mind.
.. Qiong walked up the mountain step by step. There was already a forest nearby. You often came to this mountain to catch insects.
After walking for five minutes, Qiong started to get tired because he was born weak.”Panting, she tried to call out to him, but only the cicada responded. But Qiong didn't notice that there were people passing by behind the trees beside her.
.........................
" Aiyo, I'm so tired." You wiped the sweat off her forehead, put her hands on her hips, and held the net in her right hand.
"You Jun ~ Over here, over here!" A brunette girl full of vitality waved at You. "Oh! I'll be right there!"
"You Jun, seriously ~ I've caught more than ten and you're already tired.""I'm not like you, I'm so energetic every day." The girl smiled.
"Alright! Let's go there and catch some more!”And so they spent three and a half hours
"Ouch!" "Ying! Are you alright?" "Hehe ~ It's fine ~ It's just a fall. You Jun, don't worry," Ying said mischievously.
" Sigh, you're smiling so happily even when you fell down." You sighed helplessly.
Ying was a shrine maiden of the nearby Sayihime Shrine, whom Yoo had met recently. She had been a shrine maiden since she was born, but it was not official yet. Currently, the main manager of Sayihime was still her grandfather. When he passed away, the shrine would naturally be inherited by Ying. She was also a very energetic and cute girl.
"Yes, we should go back." That's right!" You and Ying saw that the sky was getting dark, so they walked down the mountain path back to the hospital. The grass next to You moved, but You didn't care.
" You Jun, look, dark clouds." Ying pointed at the dark clouds in the distant sky." Is it going to rain?"”"Then let's go back quickly.""Okay."
........................
"Phew! Whoosh! Where are you?" Qiong shouted You's name in the forest, but no one responded to her. There was only the sound of the wind and the chirping of cicadas in the dense forest. Qiong came back to his senses." Where is this?”
Qiong looked around in panic and couldn't find his original path! Qiong watched as the sky gradually darkened and began to panic.
Qiong walked in the forest for half an hour, but he still couldn't find the way down the mountain. After another hour, Qiong cried in the forest because he was afraid, calling for his parents.
After two hours, Qiong found a small wooden house in the forest. It looked like a logging house. It started to rain heavily, and the thunder started to shake Qiong's weak heart. The rain became heavier and heavier. Qiong quickly ran to the wooden house and looked inside. There was almost nothing inside. There were only a few saws for logging.
The sky suddenly thundered! Boom! "Ah!" Qiong was frightened. He curled up in a corner and trembled. He was very afraid.
It was pitch-black outside. Qiong felt lonely, afraid, and lonely. Fear occupied her.
She began to cry, her heart close to despair. In addition, it was still raining outside. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The lightning shone with silver light, as if it was shining on a human figure. This made Qiong even more afraid, extremely afraid.
"Daddy, Mommy…" Tears streamed down Qiong's face as he squatted in a corner and cried in despair.
.........................
"What? Qiong is gone?" " She was still sleeping in the room," Grandma shouted. Cang asked. After Cang finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about something." Impossible, it couldn't have been at that time. At that time, An Qiong should still be sleeping. It was impossible for her to come out. Or maybe she couldn't sleep."
"Cang! Did you see Qiong walk out earlier?!”The uncle asked in a hurry,
" Xiao Cang has been with me all this time," Grandma said.
"Then where did this child go? Aiya ~ I'm so anxious. Uncle is so anxious that he covers his head with both hands.
"Uncle! I will find Qiong! I promise!" Cang pressed his hand on his chest and said seriously,
"Yes. Was that so…Then thank you, let's go look for it together. Uncle regained his spirit and walked out with Cang.
It was raining heavily outside. Cang put on his raincoat and walked out of the house. He met You and Ying who had run back in the rain. After explaining the situation to them, the three of them went out to look for Qiong. You also called Naxu, who was next door, to look for him.
Everyone asked all the residents of Aomuran, but no one saw anything, so Cang suggested splitting up and received everyone's agreement. The four children spread out and searched the entire area.
"Qiong Jiang! Qiong Jiang!" Ying shouted near the shrine with an umbrella
"Qiong! Qiong!" I'm leisurely searching by the fields
"Little Qiong! Little Qiong! Where are you?" Nao searched the residential area.
"Qiong! Dome! Where are you?" Cang ran down the mountain while searching. The rain drenched his body and the wind was blowing wildly. He stepped on the rain and braved the wind and rain to search for Qiong.
As he ran, he stopped and panted. He turned his head to look at the mountain road on the right and thought,
"When I'm not around, will Qiong come here? She usually wouldn't go out. What would she do in these four hours? Think about it! Think about Chao Zhengcang! You can think of it!"
She closed her eyes and thought," Qiong has always been at home, and everyone has their own things to do. This means that she will be bored. What will she do when she is bored? Thinking about it, she might go to look for her parents, grandparents, or Youyou?”
Just as he thought of You, Cang seemed to have thought of something.
"You and Ying have been catching bugs on the mountain during this period of time. Qiong might be afraid of disturbing uncle and grandfather…This meant that she would go and look for Yu... No! She could only look for You! Hmm? Oh! Oh right!"
Cang immediately turned around and ran up the mountain." This little fool! Even if you're bored, don't go up the mountain alone!”
Just as he finished speaking, Cang's foot slipped! He fell down." Ouch! Ah! It hurts! It hurts!" He hugged his legs with both hands. The skin on Cang's knees was scraped. Cang didn't have time to care about this." It's okay!" Finding Qiong is more important!" Cang shouted Qiong's name as he ran along the mountain path.
He ran up the hill step by step. Dead end! " Damn it!" The road in front was blocked by mud. Cang turned around and saw that the road behind him was also blocked by the mud that had just slid down. He was trapped, and there was only a high rock wall to climb on.
" Qiong!!!!" Cang's voice echoed in the surroundings, but no one responded. Only the storm hit the ground, and there were lightning and strong winds responding.
At this moment, a voice sounded in Cang's mind. He closed his eyes and listened carefully. It was as if someone was crying. It was Qiong's voice. However, this was only Cang's intuition. He subconsciously looked at the rock wall," This is the only way…" Cang looked at the toy watch on his wrist. It could be said that it was a cheap watch specially bought for children. 35 points
Cang walked to the rock wall and tried to climb up, but he fell down. The rock wall was slippery and pricking, making it difficult to climb up.
Cang carefully observed the tree branch at the edge of the rock wall. Cang looked at the branch and thought,"I got it!"”Cang suddenly thought of an idea. He looked around at the ground. Other than soil and rocks, there was a very long vine!
Cang immediately grabbed the vine, aimed at the branch above, and threw it! I didn't get it
He didn't give up. He grabbed the vine again and this time, he was more focused. He threw it at the target!. Still not hooked
After that, he tried several more times, but he still did not manage to hook it. Cang was a little tired. He stood up again, grabbed the vine, and threw it at the tree branch with all his strength!! He had finally hooked it!
"Very good!" Cang was secretly delighted. He jumped a few times to make the other end of the rattan fall. Cang held both ends of the rattan with both hands."Hu ~~" After taking a breath, he raised his foot and stuck it to the rock wall. Then, he raised the other one with force! His legs were perfectly stuck to the rock wall, and it was very easy for him to lose strength. Cang gripped the rattan in his hands tightly and stepped up step by step. One step, two steps, three steps, four steps.”His left foot accidentally slipped, but he immediately steadied himself and continued to walk up. Five steps, six steps, seven steps, eight steps…Fifteen steps.
Cang's hands were almost out of strength, but at least he could still hold on. He did not dare to look down, afraid that he would slip and fall if he looked back. However, he could not hold it in and still turned his head to take a look. He was already halfway up, and he would probably be able to climb up in a few more steps. Suddenly! A crisp sound was heard. Cang looked up at the tree branch in panic and calmness. The tree branch was bent because of Cang's weight. Cracks began to appear on the tree branch. The tree branch was about to break!
Cang gritted his teeth and carefully took a few more steps. The branch was very unstable and could break at any time.
Cang was about to reach the top, and the branch was right in front of him. The cracks on the tree branch suddenly split open! The branch broke!
Cang Ma kicked upwards! The tree branch fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Cang grabbed the edge with one hand and hung in the air.
He immediately climbed up strenuously, and his feet slipped again, but it was not a big deal. Cang lay on the ground and relaxed. He stood up tiredly and looked down from the edge. This was even higher than what he could see from below! It was still fine for an adult, but if a child fell, they might even die! Cang didn't care about this, he turned around and continued to search for Qiong.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the forest. The rain was still falling. It was not any less than the lightning in the sky. It would still flash and make deafening sounds from time to time! "Qiong! Where are you?" He tried to call out to her, but the surroundings were silent for a while. Cang heard the crying and was nearby." Qiong!!”He walked in the direction of the sound. After walking for a while, Cang stopped and looked at the wooden house in front of him. Qiong might be inside. That was what he thought. He walked over and looked inside. The crying was coming from here and was still going on. He walked into the wooden house and looked around. Other than a few saws, there was a wooden cabinet. Beside the wooden cabinet, there was a pair of feet in the corner. They were held tightly by hands. Cang carefully approached. Finally, he saw Qiong hiding in a corner.
"Qiong!" Qiong was curled up in the corner, hugging his body and shivering. Cang walked to Qiong's side and leaned her head into his embrace. He touched her forehead. It was very hot. She was running a fever. Cang immediately put his coat and raincoat on her and pressed her into his embrace to stroke her hair.
"It's okay... I'm here. Don't be afraid..." A very gentle voice consoled the trembling Qiong.
Qiong slowly opened his eyes and narrowed them. Cang "
When Cang saw that she had woken up, he smiled at her and patted her head." Don't worry. Dome…I'll send you home immediately."
Qiong was very warm in his arms. Hearing his words, she shrank into his embrace.
After a while, Cang found an opportunity. When he thought that the rain had lessened, he carried Qiong on his back. Just as he carried her, his injured knee stung, but he still endured it. He carried her out and looked for a way out. Because of his knee, he could only jog for a while. Cang's entire body was wet. The raincoat was draped over Qiong's body, and with Qiong sticking close to his back, his back was not wet.
Qiong felt very warm on Cang's back. There was a sense of security that made her no longer feel fear, making her heart feel very warm. Happiness. Qiong slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep with a smile.
three hours later
Cang carried Qiong back home safely. His grandparents and aunties were already waiting in the courtyard, hoping to see their daughters and granddaughters safe and sound. When they saw Cang and Qiong walking over slowly, they hurriedly went over and carried Qiong in their arms to see if he was alright. A smile appeared on Cang's face, but he suddenly leaned back and collapsed. He was already tired.
