In the past few days, Luo Lan's tears have dried up. She sat blankly, her brows never relaxed. When Long Xiaomin handed An An to her, the expectant look in her eyes appeared in front of her again. .
She promised her that she would raise her child well, but now, she made a mistake and she didn't even know where her child was.
She stood up from the chair blankly. Leng Yu went to help her, but she raised her hand to stop him.
"Leave me alone."
Leng Yu knew what she was thinking. He nodded and whispered to her:
"Madam..."
He wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but finally stopped.
Now that An'an is gone, any words of comfort are just nonsense, so it's better not to say anything.
Under everyone's gaze, Luo Lan left the main hall with heavy steps and went straight to An An's room.
The layout and furnishings here are still the same as before, except An An is missing.
Luo Lan came to the bed with weak feet, climbed on the edge of the bed with both hands, and sat on the bed dejectedly, touching the well-folded quilt, her heart ached like a knife, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
While she was crying, she leaned over on the bed, pressed her face against the quilt covered by An An, smelled her breath, and called her name over and over again.
"An'an, where are you? Mom misses you."
"An'an, Mom misses you. Have you eaten well these days?"
"An'an, you have been a smart and sensible child since you were a child. This time, my mother failed to protect you. I'm sorry. Can you give your mother a chance to make up for it? Come back soon..."
"An'an, since the day you came to your mother, she has treated you as her own daughter. If you are lost like this, what will you do if you call me mother? How can you explain to your own mother how you call mother?"
"An'an, come back! Mom will make you your favorite roasted chicken legs..."
"An'an..."
Her tears fell like broken beads on the quilt covered by An An, and An An's voice and smile appeared in front of her eyes over and over again.
Probably because she hadn't slept well for a few days, after a while, she actually fell asleep holding An An's quilt. In her dream, she dreamed that An An was running towards her, and she greeted him happily.
However, before An An could reach her, she was caught by a beast that looked like a tiger and a bear. She screamed desperately, but found that she had lost her voice.
She wanted to save An An, but found that her hands and feet were no longer in control. Even if she wanted to cry, she could no longer cry.
She just watched An An being taken away by the wild beast. She looked desperately at An An who waved to her for help. She shouted with all her strength,
"An'an..."
She finally shouted out, but at this moment, she also woke up.
It turned out that everything was just a dream. Looking at this empty room, her heart ached so much that she covered her chest hard...
"Lan'er..."
Leng Yu came here to look for her because he was worried about her.
When he saw Luo Lan sitting on the bed with a face full of pain, he felt distressed and held her in his arms.
"Lan'er, don't be like this. If An An finds out, she will be sad."
"But where is An An? I just dreamed about her. She was taken away by a wild beast. I wanted to save her, but I couldn't move. My husband, tell me, does this dream mean that An An has encountered something unexpected?"
"Will not."
Leng Yu hugged her tighter, patting her back and comforting her softly,
"Nothing will happen to An'an. This child is smart and smart. Nothing will happen to him."
"Ms. sir, this child has a poor background, and now something like this happens. I really feel sorry for her because I failed to protect her."
"It's not your fault. It was an accident. Don't blame yourself. An An will come back. She will definitely come back."
"Ms. sir, after so many years, I have even forgotten An An's original identity. Like Lele, she is the flesh that fell from my body. But now, she has suddenly disappeared, just like when she first came, let I was caught off guard, I really didn’t know…I really didn’t know what to do.”
At this point, she couldn't help but sob against his body.
Leng Yu sighed while hugging her and comforting her.
"Madam, although An'an is not our biological child, like you, I have never looked at her differently. We all treat her as our own daughter. Don't worry, even if the Daning Kingdom is turned upside down, I will keep her safe. Brought back."
Luo Lan knew that Leng Yu was comforting her. An An fell from that cliff. There were several mountains connected under the cliff. Who could guarantee that there were no wild beasts there?
The more she thought about this, the more her heart ached, and her tears couldn't help but fall again.
"I don't know how she sleeps these days. She must be very scared. She must miss me very much. Husband, let's go to bed. Maybe I can see her in my dream. Maybe... maybe she will tell me that she where."
Leng Yu quickly raised his hand to cover her mouth,
"Don't think too much. Nothing will happen to An An. You won't dream about her."
Although Leng Yu also knew that An An's disappearance for so many days would be a disaster, but he also didn't want to believe that such a well-behaved and lovely child could disappear without a trace.
He vowed that no matter life or death, he would find An An.
…
As night falls, the remaining ray of sunset on the horizon has been covered up by the mountains.
In that quiet mountain, An An curled up and hid on that bed. She was afraid, she was really afraid. It was already dark outside and Leng Xi had not come back yet.
It was pitch dark here, and her eyes were fixed on the teapot surrounded by moonlight on the table, hoping that Leng Xi would come back soon.
She was really scared. Tears were welling up in her eyes, but she held them back with all her strength. She didn't dare to make a sound. She was afraid that the wild beasts outside would hear her and rush in to eat her.
Because just now, she heard the roar of a wild beast coming from a distance.
Her heart was in her throat, her teeth were biting her lip, her head was buried in her knees, and her body was shivering.
She was afraid, she was really afraid, she was afraid that Uncle Wu would forget her here, she was afraid that she would starve to death here, or that wild beasts would find her, rush in, tear her to pieces, and eat her.
Countless bad thoughts appeared in her mind.
Although Uncle Wu has many bad intentions, she still hopes that he will appear at this time. Now, he is her only hope. Maybe, he is the only one who knows that she is here.
"Shashasha..."
Suddenly, an unknown voice came. She braced herself, raised her ears and listened carefully.
If she heard it correctly, it should be footsteps, either human or beast, and seemed to be walking towards this direction, and a sense of fear struck again.
In this dark night, on this deserted mountain, the sudden abnormal sound made An An feel very scary.
She buried her head in her knees, closed her eyes tightly, tried her best to stay calm, and murmured,
"An'an is not afraid, An'an is not afraid. Mother said that I am Prince Yu's child, so I can't be afraid when things happen..."
Suddenly, there was a sound of the door being unlocked, and then the door creaked open.
An An felt that her scalp was numb. She slowly raised her head and quietly looked at the door...
