Shiyang was startled for a moment and looked at the old man worriedly.
The smile on the old man's face was still elegant and kind, with tears in his eyes. He held Shiyang's hand cordially, looked up and down, and kept murmuring "so good" and "so good". If he hadn't recognized the wrong person, looking at It doesn't look like a disease at all.
"Grandma." Shi Yang couldn't help but slow down his voice and asked her softly, "Did you come out alone?"
The old man's face looked a little confused at the moment.
She looked around blankly, then looked at Shiyang, and then asked her, "Where is this?"
"This is a children's park." Shiyang said softly.
The old man looked confused again: "Where is the children's park? Nonsense, this is obviously a textile factory."
As he spoke, he looked around again, as if he was looking for something, but he never let go of Shiyang's hand, and he kept telling her: "Little girl, hold on to grandma's hand, don't get lost, do you understand?"
He warned and pulled Shiyang to leave.
Shi Yang guessed that it was really Alzheimer's disease, and he didn't dare to let her go alone. He let her pull her away, took out his cell phone, and comforted her:
"Okay, grandma. Let's wait here first. I'll call your family and ask them to pick you up, okay?"
The old man waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, grandma knows how to get home. Xiaoyuer, come and go home with grandma. You scared the grandparents after not seeing each other for so long."
As he spoke, he dragged Shiyang forward.
Ahead is a dead end with no exit, densely wooded, an abandoned red brick house and railroad tracks, and sparsely populated.
Shiyang didn't know if her memory was fixed in her youth, or if she was just talking nonsense. There were few people here at night, so she didn't dare to let her drag her deep into the jungle, let alone let her go alone. People leave.
While comforting her, she dialed the phone on the clothes on her arm.
The call was put, but no one answered.
Shiyang was confused and called again, but still no one answered.
Shiyang had to turn to the old man, pointed to the park entrance where there was light, and said, "Grandma, let's go there first, okay?"
She remembered that there was a police station at the entrance of the park over there.
The old man looked in the direction of her finger and nodded: "Okay, okay."
He turned around and walked towards the entrance of the park, still holding Shiyang's hand tightly with his palms, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Although she looks thin, she is very strong.
Shiyang's arm was sore from her grip, and she wanted to pull out. The old man seemed to be frightened, so he held her tighter and comforted her with a soft voice: "Little girl, hold on tighter, don't leave again." lost."
His expression was flustered and nervous.
The nervous and frightened look made Shiyang's heart twitch inexplicably, and the hand that was about to be withdrawn relaxed, letting her hold it.
The tension on the old man's face also dissipated a lot, and he just held her hand contentedly.
Shiyang took her to the police station at the door and explained the situation to the policeman on duty.
The police saw the contact information on the old man's arm and called the phone number on it. Unexpectedly, the call was connected as soon as it was dialed.
The police briefly explained the situation to the other end of the phone, asking them to come over as soon as possible, then hung up the phone, and then looked at Shiyang: "The family members have been notified and they will be here in a moment. Please excuse me."
"It's okay, it should be."
Shiyang smiled politely.
She was still thinking about Tongtong who was playing with Sister Gao, and worried that she would be uneasy if she couldn't see her, so she turned to the old man and said softly to her: "Grandma, the police comrades have helped you contact your family just now. They will contact you soon." I’ll pick you up, please wait here for a while, okay?”
As she said this, she was about to withdraw her hand. Unexpectedly, the old man reacted suddenly and held her hand tightly: "You can't leave. If you leave, you won't be able to find her."
The police officer on duty thought she was afraid of being left behind, so he quickly smiled and comforted her: "Old man, this is the police station. Don't worry, we will help you wait until your family comes to pick you up and ensure your safety."
The old man didn't seem to hear what he was saying. He just looked at him with a smile and thanked him: "Comrade police, thank you for helping me find my little girl. Thank you very much."
Police officer on duty: "..."
Shiyang: "..."
The old man was completely trapped in his past memories. He held Shiyang's hand tightly and murmured to the policeman on duty: "I got lost when I was very young. I couldn't find it anywhere. I searched for a long time... I must have eaten a lot." bitter……"
As he spoke, he began to choke and raised his hands to wipe away tears.
The police officer on duty quickly took out a tissue and gave it to her.
While wiping his tears, the old man looked at Shiyang with a satisfied look on his face, and kept saying to her: "It will be good when you come back, it will be good when you come back..."
He held her hand tighter as he spoke.
The policeman on duty looked at Shiyang in confusion.
Shiyang was a little embarrassed: "The old man seems to have mistaken me for someone like her."
The policeman on duty nodded understandingly: "The old man has Alzheimer's disease, and sometimes he is stuck in a certain memory in the past and cannot get out."
Seeing that the old man was relying on Shiyang, he grabbed her and refused to let go. He couldn't help but said to her, "Are you anxious? Why don't you wait here with her first? Her family will be here soon."
"My daughter..."
Shiyang was just about to say that her daughter was waiting for her when her cell phone rang.
She picked it up and glanced at it. It was Sister Gao who called and sent a WeChat video.
Shiyang probably felt uneasy because Tongtong and Sister Gao didn't see her after playing the project.
She apologized to the police officer on duty and the old man, "Sorry, I'll answer the phone first," then turned around and picked up the phone.
"Mom, where have you been?"
