There is a glimmer of light in the world

Chapter 15 The Missing Daughter

When Lao Liang reaches middle age, he has lost a lot of hair. When he talks, a few thin locks of hair on his forehead jump up and down in the wind. Coupled with Lao Liang's cheerful facial features, his specific tone and movements when speaking are inexplicably... Li Jing's nervousness was relieved, and she laughed out loud, "Lao Liang, I'm not in a hurry, you can drive slower, don't let me become disgraced and scare Liang Jiejie!"

"Oh, are you going to Liang Qiulin's house?"

"Liang Qiulin?"

"That's Jiejie's grandfather!"

"Yes." Li Jing asked casually, "Are you familiar with Jiejie's family?"

Lao Liang said: "Of course we are familiar with each other. We have lived in the same village for decades. If someone's family has something big or small, everyone in the village will know about it."

Hearing this, Li Jing nodded and said frankly: "I am Jiejie's attending physician. This child has autism. I happened to be at a free clinic in Yi County these two days, so I wanted to drop by Jiejie's home to have a look and visit. Let’s take a look at the two elderly people from the Liang family.”

"Dr. Li is such a good person!"

When Lao Liang heard this, he looked at Li Jing with admiration in his eyes, but then he changed the topic and lamented: "I have also heard about Jiejie going to Yanshi for medical treatment. Uncle Qiulin and aunt are in a miserable life. A few years ago, my daughter went out to work and has not been heard from since. In order to find a daughter, she emptied all her family resources. My son did not marry his wife until he was almost 30 years old. However, the good times did not last long. His son was gone and his wife remarried. If you leave such an abnormal child to your parents, how will you live in the future?"

Li Jing was full of surprise, "Grandma Liang also has a missing daughter? What is the specific situation?"

Lao Liang lit a cigarette and narrated: "Uncle Qiulin has two children. The eldest is a son and the second is a daughter. The two siblings are three years apart. Xiuzhi was only nineteen when she left home. She said she wanted to go south to make money. , to supplement the family income. At first, I called back every month. Gradually, the calls became less and less, and finally we lost contact! Uncle Qiulin took several people from the village all the way to the factory where Xiuzhi worked to find someone. , but the factory said Xiuzhi had resigned, and after asking around, no one knew where Xiuzhi had gone."

Li Jing asked: "Didn't you call the police?"

"I've reported it, the police are looking for me, I'm looking for it myself, I've tried every possible way, I've been to every place I can go, but there's still no good news." Lao Liang took a deep breath from his cigarette, and the smoke he exhaled lingered in his mind. The previous joy was no longer on his face.

Li Jing's heart became heavy.

Lao Liang finished smoking a cigarette, put out the cigarette butt, sat in the driver's seat, and regained his hearty smile, "Dr. Li, I'm sorry, you see I'm used to talking too much. When I heard that you were going to Uncle Qiulin's house, I just followed him You said something and nothing, which made you feel bad, it's really..."

"No, Lao Liang, thank you for telling me these things, which gave me a deeper understanding of the situation of Jiejie's family." Li Jing smiled slightly.

"Okay, sit tight!"

Lao Liang said nothing more, started the tricycle and drove towards Liangwan Village.

……

The twilight of dusk gradually filled the world.

The tricycle was bumpy all the way, and when Li Jing was blown away by the open wind, she finally drove into Liangwan Village, which was shown on the mobile navigation!

The car slowed down, and Li Jing let go of one hand, smoothed her messy hair, and patted the sand on her face. She didn't even need to look in the mirror to know that her image was completely ruined!
