Sitting on the merry-go-round, still holding the balloon in his hand, going round and round, Gu Yuan slowly relaxed and his smile became brighter.
It seemed that as the carousel went round and round, his worries disappeared.
Just as the merry-go-round was spinning around, Gu Yuan saw a woman standing not far away.
She was wearing a red dress. The style was a bit old and it didn't fit that well. Maybe it was because her figure didn't look too slender, but the red dress was washed very clean.
Gu Yuan was a little confused at first. After all, he didn't know the woman in front of him. After the merry-go-round came back, he looked at the woman and gradually started to look familiar.
When he turned around for the second time, he saw the woman again. This time, Gu Yuan felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
When they turned around again, the merry-go-round also stopped. Gu Yuan climbed down from it and ran toward the woman in the red dress with a joyful expression on his face. He ran over, spreading his arms as he ran.
"Mother!"
The woman in the red skirt knelt down with a warm smile on her face, opened her arms to Gu Yuan, and hugged Gu Yuan very naturally.
"Is it fun?" The woman's voice was very nice, and Gu Yuan felt more and more friendly listening to it.
"Fun!"
"Then do you want to sit for a while longer?"
Gu Yuan shook his head and pointed in the direction of the roller coaster.
“I want to play that!”
"Well, Mom will take you there." The woman put Gu Yuan down, held her small hand with her big hand, and walked slowly towards the roller coaster.
Gu Yuan held the woman's hand with one hand, and the other hand was still holding the red balloon. When they arrived in front of the roller coaster, there was already a queue. When they got to the queue, there was a young man standing at the gate. , with a small yellow hair that looks quite energetic, and a black bag hanging on his waist.
"Twenty for children, fifty for adults."
Gu Yuan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the woman in the red skirt.
The woman picked up her small gray bag and grabbed a pile of banknotes from it.
The conductor took a look, his eyes full of contempt.
He could tell at a glance that the highest denomination in the woman's handful of banknotes was ten yuan. With this small bag, he could tell at a glance that she was a self-employed person, or someone who had to be chased around the world by urban management every day.
After counting the money for a while, a look of embarrassment gradually appeared on the woman's face.
Gu Yuan subconsciously said: "Mom, I don't want to play with this anymore."
"How about that? You've always wanted to ride a roller coaster." The woman stretched out her hand to brush away her hanging hair, and then handed some change to the conductor, "I won't sit on it, but my son can sit on it."
The conductor frowned, looked at Gu Yuan, and then at the woman.
"He is barely tall enough. He must be accompanied by a guardian. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we will not be responsible."
The woman humbly began to plead with the staff, but the other person's attitude was very firm and he was still unwilling to let go.
"Mom, I don't want to play anymore!"
After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he shook off the woman's hand, turned around and ran away.
With a flick of her arm, the money in the woman's hand scattered all over the floor. She looked at Gu Yuan's back, hurriedly knelt down and picked up the money. When she left, she looked around as if she was afraid of missing any piece.
After confirming that they had all been picked up, she quickly chased after him, but at this moment, Gu Yuan had already disappeared.
There was a panic look on the woman's face. She shouted her child's name loudly, asking all the way, ???????????????Finally, she looked under the Ferris wheel. Arriving at Gu Yuan's small figure.
The reason why he was able to discover it was because of the eye-catching red balloon in Gu Yuan's hand.
She breathed a sigh of relief, walked towards Gu Yuan, and then stretched out her hand to lift Gu Yuan up.
"Who told you to run around! There are so many people here, what should you do if you get lost? Can you know something!"
The woman looked angry. Gu Yuan raised his head and looked at her aggrievedly.
"I...I want to ride a roller coaster with my mother. If my mother is not here, I will be scared..."
Listening to Gu Yuan's timid voice, the woman burst into tears. In the end, she didn't say anything and just held Gu Yuan in her arms.
Gu Yuan, on the other hand, seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, and pointed at the Ferris wheel behind him.
"Mom, look, this is so high!"
"Then do you want to sit?"
"Um!"
The woman wiped her tears, took Gu Yuan's hand, and walked under the Ferris wheel.
This time, she gritted her teeth, spent sixty yuan to buy two tickets, and rode the Ferris wheel with Gu Yuan.
When the Ferris wheel reached the highest point, the woman didn't even dare to look down. Her face turned pale and her hands were tightly clenched together, while Gu Yuan seemed to be unaware of fear and was still jumping around in the Ferris wheel.
Although his weight was very light, every time he jumped, the cockpit they were in would shake slightly.
"Xiao...Xiaobao, you're about to jump. Sit down obediently and hurry up."
Only then did Gu Yuan notice the panic on the woman's face. He immediately sat down obediently, then stretched his neck and looked around, his face filled with joy.
"Mom, look, it's really high!" "Hmm..." The woman's hand held Gu Yuan's arm tightly, not wanting to speak at all.
Finally, the Ferris wheel circled around and reached the bottom. The woman quickly took Gu Yuan's hand and rushed out.
When she returned to the ground, her legs were still a little weak. She sat beside him for a while before slowly calming down.
"Mom, are we going home?"
The woman raised her head, looked at Gu Yuan, stretched out her hand, and gently touched the child's face.
"Have you had enough?"
"I also want to ride the merry-go-round!" Gu Yuan said with a grin.
"good."
The woman held Gu Yuan's hand and returned to the carousel. Just when Gu Yuan was about to go up, the woman suddenly took out a piece of paper from her bag, folded it and put it in Gu Yuan's pocket, and then patted it gently. shoot.
"Mom, what is this?"
"Nothing...just go and play." The woman said with a chuckle.
Gu Yuan said "Oh" and sat down on the merry-go-round happily.
The woman looked at him, her face covered with tears again.
Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something.
Still going round and round.
When the carousel stopped again, Gu Yuan, holding the balloon rope, walked down. He looked around, but could no longer find the figure in the red dress.
At this moment, Gu Yuan fell into panic.
He started calling for his mother, but he never got a response.
There were fewer and fewer people in the amusement park. He wiped away his tears and wandered helplessly in the amusement park before returning to the foot of the Ferris wheel again.
At this moment, the lights in the entire amusement park were extinguished, leaving only the red Ferris wheel, like a giant eye, emitting a faint light.

He clutched the note in his hand and walked into the cabin. The Ferris wheel started again and slowly reached the highest point. He stood on tiptoes and looked down, trying to find familiar sounds with the help of the highest point.
But at this moment, the playground seems like an empty city, returning to tranquility.
And a cold voice broke the tranquility at the moment, speaking to him in a mocking tone.
"Look no further, you are abandoned, child."
