Hu Zi sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and the woman reminded him:

"Huzi, are you seated? Hold on tight to your aunt's waist, we are about to set off."

Hu Zi obediently hugged the woman's waist. The woman quickened her pace and the bicycle quickly turned into an alley next to her.

The woman did not choose to walk on the main road in the city, but instead chose a sparsely populated alley.

Hu Zi was tall and strong, and the woman pedaled very hard, but she did not dare to slow down at all.

While pedaling the bicycle hard, he vigilantly observed the surrounding environment and pedestrians.

Fortunately, there were not many people on the streets on New Year's Day, and even fewer people were riding bicycles in the alleys.

Hu Zi put his hands tightly around the woman's waist.

He feels so happy!

He happily fantasized in his heart: I wish the aunt riding the bike was his mother.

Growing up, the word "mother" is very unfamiliar to him and the image of his mother is very vague in his mind.

His childhood memories only include his grandparents and his sister.

When he was attending a special school, he often saw his classmates' mothers coming to the school to pick up their classmates. Those classmates did the same, sitting on the back of a bicycle, hugging their mother's waist, resting their heads on their mother's back, with a look of happiness on their faces.

This heartwarming scene was engraved in his mind and could not be erased.

How many nights had he dreamed of this scene?

He asked his grandfather about his mother many times, and his grandfather told him that his mother was dead.

He also found that every time he mentioned the word "mom", his grandfather looked very angry.

Gradually, he never mentioned the word "mother" in front of his grandfather again.

In his mind, he had already accepted the fact that his mother was dead.

Soon, the bicycle drove out of the bustling city, onto a small road, and into the suburbs...

About half an hour later, the bicycle stopped in front of a bungalow.

The woman turned her head and said gently, "Huzi, get out of the car."

Hu Zi jumped out of the car, looked at the house in front of him curiously, and frowned.

"Auntie, didn't you say you would take me to the hospital to find grandpa and sister?"

The woman pretended to be serious and evaded the question, "Let's go tomorrow. The road to the hospital is broken today. The police are repairing the road and will not let anyone pass."

"Oh."

Hu Zi agreed with the woman's words.

Hu Zi followed the woman into the yard. The garbage in the yard had piled up into a small hill, including various cardboard boxes, colorful beverage bottles, beer bottles, worn-out clothes, etc.

From a room facing the main entrance came the sound of mahjong being rubbed together with men's laughter.

As soon as she entered the yard, the woman immediately closed the door and locked it.

She pulled Hu Zi, who looked confused and silly, and whispered, "Follow me."

Hu Zi followed the woman into a room. The room was dimly lit and looked like a storage room.

Except for a bed, there were all kinds of miscellaneous items everywhere.

The woman turned on the light and said, "Sit down."

Hu Zi swept the room around. There was neither sofa nor chair in the room. It was very different from his own home.

Hu Zi stood on the ground in a daze and said, "Auntie, why don't you have a leather sofa and chair at home? I have them at home. My sister bought them for grandpa."

The woman took off her hat and mask, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation, and asked, "Huzi, do you still remember me?"

Hu Zi looked the woman up and down for a full minute. He was very curious about what she said.

The woman in front of him had a face full of wrinkles and a dark complexion. She stared at him intently with a smile on her face...

The woman was very happy. Hu Zi had regular features, a strong head, was very tall and had a very strong body.

Hu Zi shook his head indifferently and answered truthfully:

"do not know."

The woman's smile froze on her face, and she looked lost.

She turned around and took out two packs of instant noodles from the cupboard, stuffed them into Hu Zi's arms, and threatened with a gloomy face:

"You just stay in the house and don't go anywhere! Do you understand? The house next to you is full of policemen. You must not let them find you."

Hu Zi sat down on the bed with his instant noodles in his arms and answered carefully:

"I know, Auntie."

The woman went out and heard the door being locked.

After locking the door, the woman went into another room and came out like a different person.

Black leggings paired with a hip-hugging leather miniskirt, an especially eye-catching bright red down jacket on top, and black boots on the feet.

She also put on makeup, with a thick layer of makeup on her face, especially her mouth. The cheap lipstick was so red that it was a bit scary.

Even though she was dressed very seductively, she still couldn't hide her haggard face and empty eyes.

The room next door was bustling with laughter.

The moment the woman lifted the door curtain and walked into the house, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

In the room, four old men sat around a mahjong table, smoking and rubbing mahjong tiles.

The house was filled with smoke and the charcoal fire in the stove was burning brightly. Compared with the cold outside, the house could really be described as warm as spring.

After the woman entered the room, she walked straight towards a bald man. Just as she passed by one of the men, the man suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched her butt hard, and said with a smile:

“The leather skirt feels so damn comfortable!”

This immediately caused a burst of lewd laughter from the other men.

The woman was not polite at all. She turned around and reached her hand towards the man's lower body. The man was so scared that he quickly dodged aside.

The woman glared at the man with a smile and cursed, "You bastard, if you don't behave yourself, I'll kill you!"

This caused another round of laughter.

The woman took a cigarette from the box in front of the man, lit it, took a deep breath, walked slowly to the bald man, and whispered something in his ear.

The bald man immediately stood up and said, "You guys play first, I'll go out for a while."

As they spoke, the bald man and the woman walked out the door one after the other, and a vulgar and teasing voice came from behind them:

"Meng, are you still capable? If not, let me do it!"

The bald man turned around and cursed, "Shut your crow mouth, you bastard!"

As soon as she went out, the woman quickly unlocked the door. Seeing someone coming in, Hu Zi quickly swallowed the instant noodles in his mouth, stood up nervously, and subconsciously called out:

"Aunt....."

The bald man just took a look at Hu Zi and his eyes began to light up.

"What a great body!"

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, reached out his hand and lifted up Hu Zi's chin with a smile, looking at him carefully, making a clicking sound.

"Yes, it's a good seedling."

Temple fair scene.

After several hours of searching, more than a dozen people found nothing.

There wasn't even a trace of Hu Zi in sight.

The temple fair was very large, with bustling crowds of people everywhere, which brought considerable pressure to the search work.

Everyone's legs were sore from running, and in order to find Hu Zi as soon as possible, no one even had time to eat lunch.

Sun Xue was extremely anxious. She stood on the high steps and looked around. There were crowds of people everywhere.

She was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she called out desperately in her heart: "Huzi, where are you?"
