"Have you seen this child? He is wearing a gray cotton-padded jacket...Thank you. Can you get a flyer? If you see this child, please call the number above. I can pay you in cash. Thank you."

Now Wang Jian fixed the two banners on two wooden boards, connected them with nylon ropes, and hung them on his shoulders, adding a pair of "armor" to his chest and back.

The blue Ultraman Tiga schoolbag was filled with photos of Double Happiness, printed in the size of business cards, and Wang Jian had already sent out two boxes.

There were no pedestrians on the streets late at night in this fifth-tier city, not to mention snowflakes falling from the sky, falling on Wang Jian's head, and gradually melting into water.

It’s not just the body that’s cold, but also the heart. Wang Jian fully explained this state of mind. Standing at the train station, he still handed out cards to passengers who were braving the wind and snow, even if they just took them, right in front of Wang Jian’s eyes. Throw the card in the trash.

Until late at night, there was no one on the roadside anymore. Wang Jian also felt obviously tired. He was sleepy. After all, he was not an iron man. He had not eaten a grain of rice since noon. Now he was so tired that it was difficult to walk.

He walked towards home, intending to eat something, squint for two hours, wait until four or five o'clock, and then go to the station gate to continue waiting.

He took off the two wooden boards from his body, simply heated up the noodles that had become lumps, and lay on the bed where the father and son slept together. He fell asleep with tears. Maybe, the tears... would became his only theme from now on.

"ah!"

Not long after he fell asleep, he was frightened awake by the dream. In the dream, Shuangxi told him to find him quickly, so he jumped out of the bed and glanced at the clock. It was three-thirty, and he had only slept for more than half an hour.

He was indeed a bit superstitious, so he didn't dare to delay any longer. He took the wooden board and schoolbag and left the house. But usually at this time, he would be lighting a fire to prepare hot meals for Shuangxi. After looking at the bed after he left, it turned into a cold bed. , he finally couldn't help his gradually collapsing emotions, and burst into tears in the wind and snow.

.......

The fortieth day of double happiness...

He quit his sanitation job, took a trip back to his hometown, sold his old house, and handed over several acres of thin farmland to the village. Because of the remoteness of the countryside, the total price of the sale was only more than 40,000 yuan, but also because of the simple folk customs. He received several thousand yuan in aid from relatives and scraped together 50,000 yuan.

He had saved the money, but he didn't dare to touch a penny. He thought that if someone found Shuangxi, he would use the 50,000 yuan to thank them.

At the same time, a kind person contacted Wang Jian, helped Wang Jian for free, posted Double Happiness information on the Internet, and left Wang Jian's phone number.

only......

"Hello? Are you Wang Jian? The one who lost his son and posted on the Baby Come Home website?"

"It's me, you are..."

"No need to ask me who I am, I know where your son is. Just pay me 50,000 yuan and I will tell you where your son is now."

"You tell me the location first, and I'll go look for it. If I find my son, I'll send you the money. Do you think that's okay? Otherwise, what if I give you the money and you don't tell me where my son is?"

"I'm afraid you won't give me the money after you find your son. Give me the money first, or I can take you to find your son. Otherwise, you won't know where your son is."

Wang Jian was hesitant in his heart. Reason was telling him that this person was a liar, but he couldn't help but think on the bright side. What if this person really knew where Shuangxi was? If you just don’t believe in yourself, why should you ask for money first?

In the end, reason still defeated the beautiful naive fantasy, gritted his teeth, suppressed the last bit of hope, and refused the other party's request for money first.

"Idiot, beep... beep... beep..."

Putting away the green-screen phone, Wang Jian felt more and more guilty. There had been an endless stream of scam calls since Wang Jian posted the information online. He received at least two to three calls every day. Wang Jian didn't know why there were so many calls. There are so many heartless people making crooked ideas about their group.

Despite this, he still felt sad, because every parent who has lost a child will have expectations for every call, even if he knows that they are scam calls.

Rejecting a "clue" in this way is like giving up on your own child again. People outside this group cannot imagine the suffering. They live in the battle between heaven and man and self-blame every day, constantly questioning themselves.

What if it's true...

After sending the card to a passerby again, the ancient cell phone ringtone rang again. Wang Jian took out the phone and looked at the phone number, then hurriedly answered the call.

"Hello? Xiao Zhao, it's me, what happened?"

Xiao Zhao is the kind person who helped Wang Jian release the news. At the same time, he also helped many families of abducted children find their children. He even successfully found two abducted children. He was very popular among the families of abducted children in Henan. famous.

What's even more touching is that he always does these things for free, providing free help to various families in his spare time. After watching the TV show, he took the initiative to contact Wang Jian to provide help, using his experience to help Wang Jianshao took many detours and avoided being deceived many times.

"Brother Wang, I saw a message. Someone just posted some photos of several begging children in Zhengzhou on the blog. I think there is a child who looks like Double Happiness. Don't rush over there first. Come to my house first. If Really, then leave immediately, otherwise your trip will be in vain."

"Okay, then I'll go over there."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Jian hurriedly got on the bus nearby. Someone saw that he was disabled and wanted to give up his seat to him, but he waved his hand and refused. He just looked into the distance with extreme anxiety in his eyes.

What he fears most is that Shuangxi will become a beggar child. The people in the begging organization are heartless beasts! Their tongues were cut out, their legs were broken, and their children were disabled and sent to the streets to beg for food. Such inhumane methods frightened Wang Jian to have nightmares for several days when he learned that there was such a group of people.

He would rather Shuangxi be sold to someone else's house. In this way, although the possibility of finding Shuangxi is almost zero, he can still live healthily.

For a moment, Wang Jian was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. After the bus had traveled three stops, he hurried toward the residential building where Xiao Zhao was located, using his disabled legs. The building was very old and could not even be considered a community. , there is no light in the low-rise cave on the sixth floor. Even in broad daylight, it is dark inside, and it is covered with small posters about locks and sewers.

Climbing up to the third floor, I knocked gently on the door. Soon, the door was opened. Unlike the corridor, the lighting in the room was really good, and the house was tidied up and warm. The decoration was still in place in 2007. It's quite beautiful.

"Brother Wang, let me get you slippers."

"No, no, I'll just stand at the door. I'll leave later. I can just stand..."

Wang Jian still remembered Shuang Xi's expression and movements when he was in kindergarten that day, which were exactly the same as his now. Wang Jian looked at this warm home, just like Shuang Xi, pursed his lips, and quickly waved his hands to refuse.

Only now did he realize that Shuangxi was very similar to him. At least he learned the character of low self-esteem thoroughly. When he was in the kindergarten, although it was very warm, there were at least some workers covered in cement dust who sent their children to school. It didn't make him feel so uncomfortable.

Shuangxi was different. He was the only child who went to school in such shabby clothes. Children would not compare with adults, but only with children of the same age, so Shuangxi had low self-esteem at that time.

But it wasn't until Shuangxi was abducted that he understood Shuangxi's thoughts at that time. After understanding, what remained in his heart was not only regret, but also a deep debt to Shuangxi.

Unfortunately, there is no possibility of remediation now, but Wang Jian looks at these slippers now and always feels that the leaky socks on his feet are tightening his toes more and more.

"Brother Wang, you are like this again. This is not your first time here. Why don't you want to come in? I haven't printed the photos yet. You have to go in and check the computer to see if this child has a double happiness."

This matter was the most important. After being reminded by Xiao Zhao, Wang Jian didn't think about it anymore. He took off his shoes and exposed his dirty toes. He followed Xiao Zhao into his bedroom, looked at this thing called a computer, and finally saw the photo. The child in.

The hair is a bit long, covering the upper half of the face, with only the mouth and chin exposed. The figure looks about four years old, similar to Shuangxi. The most important thing is that this child is wearing a dusty gray cotton-padded jacket... .....

The moment he saw this photo, Wang Jian collapsed, because the child's legs were obviously broken, and he could only crawl on the ground with a bowl, lying on the side of the road, extremely miserable.

"I'm going to Zhengzhou...I'm going to find my son...he..."

"Brother Wang, are you sure it's Double Happiness? Do you need me to go with you? You are not familiar with the place there."

Xiao Zhao's heart was also in suspense. He looked at Wang Jian who was gradually collapsing, with sympathy on his face. If this was really Shuangxi... then Shuangxi was now a disabled person like his father.

"I'm not sure! No, I'm going to Zhengzhou now, so don't go. You still have to go to work. You can't delay your work. He's still so young... How could they be so cruel? It’s scary to break a child’s leg!”

He cried and rejected Xiao Zhao's idea of ​​going to Zhengzhou with him. Xiao Zhao kept reminding him that if he met a child, he should never claim it on the spot. He must keep an eye on the child and call the police, otherwise he would be easily retaliated by the begging organization. .

In the end, Wang Jian was driven to the train station by Xiao Zhao, and he bought a train ticket bound for Zhengzhou at 10:50. Standing at the junction of the two carriages, Wang Jian leaned against the window and looked at the people passing by outside. Jingjing looked around, occasionally reaching out to wipe the tears falling from his face, and sniffed.
