I am arresting the patient in Lianzong

Going ahead, Shu Qiu immediately bought a plane ticket.

Fortunately, Jinnan's hometown is a relatively remote city, and there are a lot of air tickets left, so Shu Qiu bought two tickets for departure on the same day.

Considering that Zhao Qiyan and Dr. Zhang were watching from behind the monitor, he didn't say hello to them specifically. Although the monitor was for his safety and to record his condition, Xiaonan would feel uncomfortable if he knew about it.

There is a photo of Zhong Jinnan's ID card on Shu Qiu's mobile phone. It is very convenient to buy air tickets. Zhong Jinnan also has the habit of carrying his ID card with him.

So after confirming that the air ticket was purchased successfully, Shu Qiu took Zhong Xiaonan straight to the airport.

At this time, there were not many people at the airport, and when they arrived there were still three hours before boarding, Shu Qiu led the people to a fast food restaurant to settle their lunch.

The first time I ate fried chicken, Xiaonan was at a loss: "Why are there no chopsticks?"

If he was in the village, he would eat directly with his hands, which is the norm in everyone's life, but now he is in a big city, and everything is about decency.

He could only carefully watch the meals at other tables.

"Just use your hands." Shu Qiu found a pack of wet tissues from his backpack, wiped Zhong Xiaonan's hands, and then gave him a demonstration, teaching him how to eat fast food.

His fingers hesitated for a moment on the fried chicken, and finally Xiaonan followed Shu Qiu's example, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted very strange. It was different from the chicken he had eaten before, but it was delicious.

Shu Qiu didn't eat after eating two pieces. He likes fried chicken and other foods, but he usually likes to eat while watching movies, but he doesn't have much appetite at other times.

Zhong Xiaonan ate several pieces one after another, raised his eyes, and looked at Shu Qiu, showing a smile that Shu Qiu was very familiar with and missed.

"There was a movie shown in school before. It was about a man who had been in prison for more than ten years. Every day in prison, he was full of expectations for his release, but when he was actually released, he faced What happened was the rapidly developing world, the death of relatives, the estrangement of friends, he was very scared and hesitant, and finally this man committed suicide by swallowing a gun."

When talking about this movie, Zhong Xiaonan ate the last piece of chicken popcorn. It was obviously a sad story, but he said it in a cheerful tone.

"I didn't understand it before. After finally getting out, why did I choose to commit suicide? If it were me, I would try my best to survive."

Shu Qiu listened quietly to him saying that he had also seen this movie. It can be said that many people could not understand the ending of this movie.

"I can understand now, because I am incompatible with the world 20 years later, just like the protagonist, every time I wake up, I see myself in a strange place, and I will meet some strange people with malicious intentions people……"

At this point, he paused, took a sip of Coke, and smiled: "Actually, I think he is very powerful, that is, he will be himself 20 years later. I saw him deal with work, often stay up late and work overtime, and make false claims with those people. I didn't expect that 20 years later, I would be so powerful."

"It's so much better than I imagined, that I feel that this kind of self is very strange, and this is also a future that I never imagined."

He lowered his eyes, not knowing whether he was looking at the Coke cup or the flyer on the table. His eyelashes looked like butterflies soaked in rain and dew in the morning. When they flapped, they created a small whirlwind.

This gust of wind blew all the way to Shu Qiu's heart, making his eye sockets a little dry.

"Before I met Ah Qiu, I didn't want to stay." Zhong Xiaonan turned the Coke cup in his hand, his eyes were always lowered.

"When I knew that I was just a fantasy, I actually felt relieved. I just couldn't bear to part with Aqiu. Apart from my hometown, Aqiu was the first person who was kind to me."

Her throat was so dry, Shu Qiu took a sip of Coke and said in a low voice: "Xiao Nan, you are not imagined, you really exist, you are the best past of your 28-year-old self, you and Jin Nan, you two They're all separate entities, just appearing at the same time in different stages."

Shu Qiu didn't know if Zhong Xiaonan could understand what he said, but that's what he thought, and he also wanted to tell the other party what kind of existence he was in his own eyes.

"En." Zhong Xiaonan replied with a smile, but didn't say anything.

Seeing him like this, Shu Qiu couldn't say anything more, just as he was about to board the plane, he took Zhong Xiaonan into the ticket gate together.

Along the way, Zhong Xiaonan was very obedient and surprisingly quiet, only when he saw the plane, his eyes widened slightly, showing a look that fit his age.

Shu Qiu touched his head. Shu Qiu rarely touched Zhong Jinnan's head, but he liked to do it when Zhong Xiaonan appeared.

Someone once said that a person's personality will be expressed through the eyebrows, eyes and hair. He still didn't believe it. Later, he found out that it really meant something like that. In the end, Jinnan's hair was very soft, like his soft inner world. Usually, it's just that he used to use hairspray to make himself look indifferent.

Shu Qiu helped Zhong Xiaonan fasten his seat belt, and Zhong Xiaonan just raised his hand and let him do what he did.

Sitting next to them was a girl with a DSLR hanging around her neck, smiling when she saw this: "Are you a couple?"

Shu Qiu raised her eyes, the girl was stunned for a moment when she saw Shu Qiu's face, she seemed to realize that her question was offending, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I just think you have a good relationship and don't look like family, so That's why I asked, if you feel abrupt, just pretend I didn't ask."

Zhong Xiaonan was ignorant and didn't understand what a couple meant, but Shu Qiu understood. Hearing the girl's apology, he waved his hand to signal her not to mind, and said with a smile, "We are a couple."

Seeing his smile, the girl was taken aback again, and murmured: "I always think you look familiar, as if I've seen you somewhere."

Shu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this girl must have watched "National First Love". National First Love began to be broadcast on Fruit TV half a month ago, and an episode was shown every weekend.He and Zhong Jinnan were still chasing after him.

When Zhong Jinnan saw Zhong Xiaonan's tree-climbing behavior for the first time, his face immediately turned black, but he still said seriously: "The action is too ugly, it can be called black history."

The next day, I heard that the people in the secretary's office were chasing the first love of the nation, hiding in the tea room and gathering people to eat candy, and looked at him with a look of "So you are such a Candyboy". Since then, the final group has added a six The tradition of working overtime on weekends.

Shu Qiu smiled, knowing it in his heart, but he didn't admit it, and laughed at himself: "Probably because we are the face of the public."

In the end Jinnan's current situation, he didn't want to make any further complications.

The girl was also very lively, and replied in an exaggerated tone: "My God, you are still the face of the public, are you planning to increase the average appearance of the public by yourself?"

Shu Qiu happily chatted with the girl, and learned that she is a freelance photographer, and when she went out to collect pictures, the destination was the same place as them.

"Why did you go to that place to gather folk songs? As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any tourist attractions in that place, right?" Shu Qiu was a little curious.

Jinnan’s hometown is a very small village, so small that it doesn’t even have a name. It is named after the road along the way. There are thousands of such villages all over the country.

The girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then gave Shu Qiu an unexpected answer, and at the same time surprised Zhong Xiaonan who had been keeping silent beside her.

"I filmed my graduation work there in college, and the report on child abduction, now it's revisiting the old place."

Hearing this answer, Shu Qiu subconsciously looked at Zhong Xiaonan, and Zhong Xiaonan frowned, looking at the girl who spoke, as if recalling whether he had seen this person before.

"At that time, I was planning to travel to the ancient town next to me. I took a van, but I took the wrong car and was pulled to this small mountain village. The village is too backward, and there is no car to go back. Two days later, I stayed at an old man's house for one night."

This memory has been a long time ago. When the girl said it, there was a little emotion in her tone, like opening a yellowed photo album, and the words could spell out the staleness of the years.

"There is a child in the old man's house, a little boy. He is very good-looking and clean. He doesn't look like a villager at all. I chatted with the old man all night. The old man's health is not very good. She I didn't say it clearly, but I think it should be a serious illness."

"and then?"

Seeing the girl stop, Shu Qiu quickly asked about the story behind, and Zhong Xiaonan listened attentively, and then they knew that there was such a story in the Zhong family's discovery of Zhong Jinnan.

The girl was a little surprised by their exuberant curiosity, Shu Qiu was okay, and kept smiling, but the little guy next to him looked quite silent and didn't speak.

But she was very happy to have someone to chat with during the long journey. Anyway, this matter was reported in the newspaper back then, and it was not a secret, so she told the following content.

"I do freelance photography, and I have quite a lot of fans online. I probably had a few million fans when I was in college."

When the girl said this, she paused slightly, wanting to show off her internet celebrity personality, but she found that the two people in front of her didn't express admiration or admiration at all, so she could only continue to tell the story embarrassingly.

"The old man heard that I was very famous on the Internet, so she asked me if I could help her find someone. She said that she had 5000 yuan on her body, and she could give it all to me, as long as I helped her find that person."

Maybe it's the habit of subtitles. The girl paused deliberately when she said this, her eyes swept over the faces of the two, and she was very satisfied to see the tension and concern they showed.

"She said that her son was confused, because he couldn't give birth to his daughter-in-law, so she bought a boy doll from the kidnapper, which is the grandson in her house, but later they were able to have children again, so they threw the boy doll away. I gave it to her, saying that I can take care of her and give her a pension."

Shu Qiu and Zhong Jinnan listened silently. Before they came, they never expected to encounter such an accident on this flight.

"The old man said that the son and daughter-in-law were not good to the boy because they had a biological child. She could still take care of the boy when she was there, but because of her illness, she was afraid that the boy would not be able to survive without her, so she wanted to Find the biological parents of the boy doll."

"Then you helped her find it?" Shu Qiu frowned slowly.

The girl nodded: "That's right, I posted the boy's information on my social account, and within half a month, his biological parents got in touch with me, don't say, the little boy and his mother are still together It's an astonishing resemblance."

Shu Qiu looked back at Zhong Xiaonan, Zhong Xiaonan didn't know that he missed his mother, but he had seen his biological parents and photos, so he whispered to Shu Qiu: "When I was young, I was like that...mother, and when I grow up, I look more like my father. ."

When it came to words like father and mother, he felt a little unnatural, not to mention that he was Zhong Xiaonan who didn't have much contact with his biological parents, even Zhong Jinnan couldn't get close to these parents.

The two were talking close to each other, and the girl didn't hear what the two were saying. Seeing that they had finished speaking, she continued to speak.

"His biological parents are probably very rich. When they came to my school, they drove millions of cars, my God!" The girl's exclamation was clearly expressed on her face, but the emotion behind her words was down.

"However, I think his biological parents don't seem to look very much like looking for him. I suspect it's because they look too similar, so they looked for people under the pressure of public opinion."

Shu Qiu's heart tightened slowly, and when he spoke, his voice was a little dry: "How do you know they don't want to look for it?"

The girl took it for granted: "Because his mother doesn't have any excitement, she doesn't look like she has found her own son at all, and the suit on her body is not wrinkled. This is not like a mother who is anxious to find a child!"

"Maybe it's because I've been looking for too long and I've been disappointed too many times, so I became calm?" Shu Qiu asked unwillingly.

Although Jinnan finally said in his diary that they didn't love him, Shu Qiu still felt cruel when another person told the truth, and even wanted to find a flaw to prove that this mother was once loved this kid.

The girl categorically retorted: "Impossible, you didn't see the mother's appearance at that time, arrogant and indifferent, if it wasn't for the fact that he looks so much like that little boy, I wouldn't even want to give her the address."

Zhong Xiaonan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and asked a question: "What happened later, did she go to pick up someone?"

Looking at his deep and beautiful facial features, the girl murmured to herself, it's fine for this man to be good-looking, but his voice is so nice!

"Yeah, she took her away." Speaking of this, the girl couldn't help the desire to complain, "You don't know, this woman is really amazing, although it is indeed wrong for the family to buy a child, but The old man is really good to the child, raising the boy until he is eight years old, and he is healthy, but the woman sent the old man away with 5000 yuan according to the consumption in the village!"

The girl was so angry that she didn't even need to call her mother, and called on the woman directly, and didn't notice the two people who fell into silence beside her.

Before that, Shu Qiu and Zhong Jinnan thought that the parents of the family had been looking for their lost son. No matter what happened now, at least they had worked hard to find this child, at least they had loved this child.

Silently covering the back of Zhong Xiaonan's hand, Shu Qiu didn't know what to say at this time, so as to give him some comfort.

Finally Xiaonan opened his hand and held Shu Qiu's hand. The big hand wrapped the warmth of the palm, and then slowly interlocked the fingers of that hand, becoming intimate.

Seeing that after talking about this matter, the two of them had no interest in chatting, so the girl didn't continue talking, and this row of seats arrived at the destination in silence.

After getting off the plane, Shu Qiu said goodbye to the girl with a smile. He didn't tell the girl that their destination was also that nameless mountain village.

The girl also waved and wished them a long time with a smile.

In order to stagger with the girl, Shu Qiu simply rented a car in the local area, hired a temporary driver, and drove there, which would be much faster.

After getting in the car, Zhong Xiaonan complained that he was sleepy, but Shu Qiu didn't say anything, just let him sleep on his legs.

In the early hours of the morning, they arrived at Zhong Jinnan's hometown. Because it was still dark, the village was very quiet, except for occasional sounds of chickens and dogs barking.

In the third year after leaving this village, his grandma passed away, and Zhong Jinnan never came back here again. He didn't want to go back, because he was afraid of falling in love with the scene, and his parents didn't want him to go back. They hoped that he could get rid of this "humiliating" past. Clear boundaries.

At this time, Shu Qiu couldn't get out of the car to disturb others, so he simply didn't call Zhong Xiaonan.

Together with the driver, the three of them fell asleep in the cramped compartment, and when they opened their eyes, it was already dawn.

The sun shines through the car window, illuminating the compartment brightly, and she sat up and slept all night. When she woke up, Shu Qiu felt that her old waist was about to break, and her neck was too stiff.

After a while, Shu Qiu realized that Zhong Xiaonan who was lying on his lap was gone, and the driver was still sleeping in front, snoring loudly.

Shu Qiu panicked immediately, the car door was locked, and only the people inside could open it, which meant that Zhong Xiaonan got out of the car by himself, but how could Zhong Xiaonan act alone in his current state!

After getting out of the car, you can see endless fields, which are quite rural.

Because he didn't know the exact location, Xiaonan was sleeping again, so the car was parked at the head of the village.

Shu Qiu was at a loss, not knowing where to find Zhong Xiaonan, recalling what Zhong Jinnan had told him about his hometown, he tentatively went into the village.

Zhong Jinnan once mentioned to him that his grandma's house was near the end of the village, and he would fetch water from the old well at the head of the village every morning.

Shu Qiu saw someone come out of the house, saying that a man in his early forties was still holding a sickle in his hand.He hurried forward to ask, first describing Zhong Jinnan's appearance and asking if he had seen him before, the middle-aged man shook his head.

He asked again if he knew Jinnan, but he didn't have any expectations for the answer. He knew that people in the countryside usually have a nickname that is more popular. People in the village like to call nicknames, and many adults can't remember them. What is the child's scientific name.

He also asked Zhong Jinnan, but at that time he just said with a dark face that he didn't have a nickname, of course Shu Qiu didn't believe it.

But seeing that he was embarrassed to say it, he didn't force it. How could he have imagined that this thoughtful behavior would cause himself such a big trouble.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man shook his head again, looking at Shu Qiu's eyes, the middle-aged man asked something in a twisted local dialect, Shu Qiu didn't understand, and scratched his head in embarrassment, the man saw it, He said something again, pointed to the small bench in front of the door, and left with a sickle in his hand.

Shu Qiu was a little dazed, and didn't know what to do for a while, what did the big brother mean, let him take a break?Or let him help look at the small bench?or what?

He pressed his temple acupoints with a headache, only hating himself for being so sleepy.

After this brief hesitation, suddenly a little girl's voice came out from behind, crisp and sound, speaking a mouthful of substandard Mandarin.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?"

Hearing Putonghua suddenly, Shu Qiu immediately felt like a celestial music to his ears. Looking back, it was a little girl in her early ten years old, carrying a bamboo basket taller than her, stuffed with grass.

Probably went out to do farm work very early, the little girl's lips were a little dry, with fine flakes of dander sticking out.

Shu Qiu dug out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, handed it to the little girl, and gently asked the middle-aged uncle the question again.

"Don't give it to me, this is my home, I'll go back to drink, Dad asked me to come back, you sit for a while, I put down the basket and talk to you."

The little girl's speed was so fast that Shu Qiu didn't even have time to sit down when the door in front of her opened again. The little girl opened the lid of the bucket at the door, scooped a ladle of water from it, drank a few sips, and then put the rest for washing hands.

Seeing that it was inconvenient for her to wash, Shu Qiu stepped forward to get a water ladle and helped her pour the water.

The little girl thanked her, washed her hands and said, "I've seen the person you mentioned before. It's at the end of the village, in front of Grandma Lan's house. I'll take you there."

Granny Lan is probably Grandma Zhong Jinnan.

Shu Qiu quickly expressed his thanks, took out the chocolates he had prepared in his pocket, and handed them to the little girl as a thank you gift.

The little girl shook her head like a rattle, and flicked the braids on her head: "No need, no need, it's just two steps, I don't want to give it to those."

Shu Qiu stuffed it directly into her pocket and winked at her: "Accept it, this is a meeting gift."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, and when she saw the warm smile on Shu Qiu's face, she froze for a while, her rejecting hand lost strength, and the chocolate slipped into her pocket.

After hesitating for a while, the little girl finally accepted the chocolate with a shy smile.

Following behind the little girl, Shu Qiu was greatly relieved. Fortunately, the people in the village are simple and there is a child who can speak Mandarin, otherwise he might not be able to find Zhong Xiaonan today.

Even after 20 years, the village is still backward. Except for a few houses that have been replaced with small western-style buildings, most of them are old tile-roofed houses.

Along the way, I saw a lot of working villagers. The little girl would yell and greet them when she saw them, and those people straightened up to respond.

Maybe there are very few outsiders in this village, even if Shu Qiu can't understand what they are talking about, from their eyes, Shu Qiu can guess that they must have asked him.

Being scrutinized all the way, Shu Qiu successfully arrived at the old house of Granny Lan that the little girl mentioned.

It is indeed very old, visibly obsolete, the wall skin is peeling off, many tiles on the eaves have fallen off, half of the brick wall in the yard has collapsed, a chicken coop has been set up in the yard, and the door of the house is tightly closed.

"It's here. That brother has been standing here just now, watching for a long time." Seeing that no one was there, the little girl was a little strange.

Shu Qiu thanked her and said that she would look for it on her own and let the little girl go to work on her own. If there is something else, she will go to her again for help.

The little girl ran away with a smile on her face, and after running for a while, she turned her head and met Shu Qiu's eyes, her face flushed, she was completely gone now.

Shu Qiu took a deep breath, walked through the dilapidated courtyard door, and lightly knocked on the door of the back room.

After waiting for a while, there was no response from inside, but Shu Qiu didn't leave, he had a feeling that Zhong Xiaonan was inside.

Sure enough, the door opened with a creak, and Shen Ning's amazing facial features were stripped from the darkness, revealing little by little in front of Shu Qiu, the man's expression looked a little heavy.

"Xiao Nan." Shu Qiu called out.

He tilted his head, and the corners of his lips curved into a smile: "Aqiu, you are here!"

Shu Qiu pursed her lips, her eyes were a little sore, and she stepped forward to give her a hug.

He didn't refuse, and was silently hugged by Shu Qiu. The morning sun dispelled the mist in the morning and spread it to fill the entire small courtyard.

"This is grandma's house, I grew up here..." Holding Shu Qiu's hand, he introduced to Shu Qiu the yard where he occupied his entire childhood. He ran the chicken and said to eat watermelon in the yard.

He talked a lot, and instead of the previous silence, he portrayed a whole childhood in front of Shu Qiu.

"Here is a letter he left for you."

Looking at the letter handed in front of her, the tears in Shu Qiuyun's eyes instantly fell to the noisy ground.

When he saw that smile, he knew that Zhong Xiaonan had already left, and standing in front of him was the main character, Zhong Jinnan.

"Brother Nan..."
