Amid the bumps and rumblings of the train, Yu Changle remained half asleep and half awake that night.
She suddenly dreamed that she was in the classroom and was suddenly called out of the classroom by the teacher, telling her that there was something going on at home and that her uncle was coming to take her home;
After a while, she dreamed that the little boy was crying and running from the other side of the car, hugging her tightly and saying he wanted to go home;
After a while, she dreamed of Meng Jiu'an standing outside the railing at the entrance, waving to her vigorously, and seemed to be saying something, but she couldn't hear clearly.
So when she opened her eyes and woke up, her head felt heavy and heavy, and she felt even more tired than before going to bed last night.
The lower bunk opposite was empty, and Jiang Yuren didn't know where he was.
In the compartment, people in the middle and upper bunks were packing their luggage. The flight attendant walked by and shouted loudly that the next stop would be Wujiang in ten minutes.
Yu Changle is no stranger to the place name Wujiang. The local area is rich in a kind of pickled mustard made from green cabbage heads, called Wujiang pickled mustard.
I used to make plans at home at night. To save time when I was hungry, I would make myself a bowl of instant noodles. I would also open a small pack of Wujiang pickled mustard. It is the soul mate of instant noodles. The clear and watery soup instantly becomes more flavorful. .
Thinking about it, there should be a mustard factory in Wujiang by this time. If you have the chance, you can buy some and try to see if the taste is the same as the mustard that you have eaten before.
Yu Changle, who had been silently dazed for a while, originally planned to wash up, but seeing the crowds of people coming and going around, for the sake of safety, she decided to wait patiently for Jiang Yu to come back before going.
Just as he finished thinking about it, he saw Jiang Yu squeeze out from the crowd of passengers waiting to get off the train at the other end of the car, holding something in the air with both hands.
Jiang Yu finally squeezed out of the encirclement, heaved a long breath, and sweat broke out on his head. When he saw Yu Changle woke up, he smiled and said:
"Just in time, I went to the dining car to buy breakfast and came back. I didn't know what you like to eat, so I bought two bags of soy milk and a few pieces of white cake. I'll eat some later. When I get to Yangcheng, I will take you to eat delicious food."
Yu Changle realized she was hungry when she smelled the aroma of breakfast. She smiled and said:
"You eat first, I'll go wash up and come back to eat."
After a while, the passengers who were stuck in the aisle got off the car one after another. Yu Changle took the toiletries and walked to the toilet. Who knew that the road was narrow, so early in the morning, he ran into the little boy and his grandma from yesterday again.
Yu Changle was the first to see the mother-in-law and grandson through the glass window of the carriage door, and they obviously came here to wash themselves.
In order to avoid getting into trouble early in the morning, Yu Changle decided to wait until they had washed up before going out.
The little boy stood next to the middle-aged woman with a dull expression. In just one night, his clean face was stained with several stains. He didn't know how they got there.
Yu Changle frowned and watched. The middle-aged woman started packing her things after washing herself, as if she had no intention of helping the little boy wash up.
Sure enough, the middle-aged woman then walked back with something in one hand and the little boy in the other.
Yu Changle felt very uncomfortable seeing this, but as a stranger she met by chance, what could she do?
Step forward and sternly accuse this grandmother of not taking good care of the child? Even if the child gets a little care today because of her nosy, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?
Thinking of these unanswerable questions, Yu Changle felt panicked.
After she washed up and went back, Jiang Yu invited her to have breakfast, but she still looked thoughtful.
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Yu saw that her hand had been touching the table for a long time without touching the white cake, so he knew that she was distracted.
Yu Changle also felt that he was a little paranoid on this matter, but he couldn't help but ask Jiang Yu for his opinion:
"Don't you think that little boy and that middle-aged woman don't seem like a family?"
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was asking about the mother-in-law and grandson she met yesterday.
"You haven't said anything about this yet? Don't think about it. Although that aunt is like a shrew and has no quality to curse people, the photo in her bag is not fake. She is the child's biological mother at first glance. She looks like Just like what was printed from the same mold.”
Yu Changle pondered Jiang Yu's words and suddenly had a new idea:
"The woman in the photo may be the child's mother, but that doesn't represent the relationship between the middle-aged woman and her son. Don't you think the mother and son look nothing like the middle-aged woman?"
Jiang Yu felt that Yu Changle was stunned. Could it be that she was still holding her breath and trying to get back because she was wronged yesterday?
"That might be because he looks like his grandpa. My mother and I don't look alike either. My mother has a round face, and I have a long face like my father. You can't say that I'm not my mother's biological child."
"Why would you carry a photo of the child's mother with you if you are not a family? Changle, don't think too much. I think the child can speak. If he is not his grandmother, can he follow?"
Although what Jiang Yu said made sense, Yu Changle couldn't convince herself to ignore the feelings in her heart when she thought of the middle-aged woman's action of throwing the child on the ground without mercy yesterday and the scene where she just saw a complete lack of care for the child. doubt.
"No, I still have to go to the flight attendant to confirm. If I am really over-worrying, I can apologize and compensate, but what if I am not? The safety of the children is more important!"
Yu Changle decided not to be entangled anymore. Even if she was nosy, compared with the safety of a child, being scolded would not lose any weight.
She no longer hesitated and had to quickly find the flight attendant and ask her to confirm the matter with her.
Fortunately, the "mother-in-law and grandson" did not get off at Wujiang Station, so she had this opportunity to confirm. She must find them before the next train arrives at the station, otherwise she may miss it!
Yu Changle went to the dining car compartment to find the flight attendant and explained in detail that he suspected someone was abducting a child. The flight attendant took it very seriously and immediately agreed to search every compartment with her.
Checking forward from the sleeper car, Yu Changle didn't even ignore the public toilet passing by the junction of the carriages. When the door was closed, he knocked on the door to confirm. When the voice didn't sound like the middle-aged woman yesterday, he apologized and left.
The further he walked, the more Yu Changle's heart sank.
The sleeper car has been completed, and every compartment has been checked, but no trace of the "mother-in-law and grandson" was found.
This is different from Yu Changle's imagination. When taking a long-distance train with children, they usually choose to buy a sleeper car so that the children can have a place to sleep peacefully at night. But if the "mother-in-law and grandson" are not in the sleeper car, there are only two possibilities.
One is that they bought a short-distance train ticket and only planned to sit there for one night;
The other is that the middle-aged woman doesn't care about the little boy at all and doesn't consider whether the child can rest well.
No matter which possibility, it was not good news for Yu Changle. She became more and more anxious to find the little boy and confirm whether he was safe.
Adjacent to the soft sleeper was the soft-seat carriage, but the results she checked along the way made Yu Changle's heart drop. She looked carefully row by row, and there was no trace of the "mother-in-law and grandson" at all!
There are only the last three hard-seat carriages left to check...could it be the hard-seat tickets they bought? !
