Chapter 5044 Little Turtle

The little boy stood up.

Raise your eyes naturally...

……

"!?"

No sound came out of his open mouth.

The little boy was stunned.

He...with a pair of eyes-
No.

More than one pair.

It’s double pairs!
He met two pairs of eyes.

……

It wasn't until the other person's eyes rolled that the little boy seemed to have paused...

The expression on his face became more vivid.

……

The little boy staggered back a few steps.

Until his back was pressed against the cabinet door.

He stopped.

……

The sense of reality behind him seemed to give his uneasy and disordered heart a sense of support.

He feels better.

His eyes finally refocused.

He saw clearly what was before him...

biology?

……

The little boy was surprised.

bird?
His eyes widened.

so big…..
picture…..
An idea suddenly occurred to the little boy.

As big as an ostrich!

……

no……

Two heads!?

monster! ?
……

The little boy's heart was beating fast.

There was a faint roar in my ears.

……

The little boy was so nervous that he almost fainted.

But time passed by...

He found that the other party had not done anything to hurt him...

Gradually the little boy was no longer so afraid.

……

The little boy's back was pressed against the cabinet.

He stared at the big bird.

The more I look at it…
The more he felt...

Although this big bird is built like an ostrich…
But it actually looks...

"...Magpie..."

The little boy murmured silently.

He recognized...

This big bird looks like a magpie!

He had seen magpies.

At the flower and bird market.

Mom bought a goldfish for my sister.

He wants to buy a turtle.

My sister dislikes turtles because they are ugly and fierce and doesn't want to keep one at home.

His mother didn’t buy it for him.

He was aggrieved.

Is it not okay for him to raise it in his own room so that his sister won’t see it?
He was too stubborn to leave the shop.

Mom really took my sister away.

Finally, the store that was about to close discovered that there was a child still in the store...
No adults.

After asking a few questions and finding out that the child had a conflict with his parents, the store owner called the police.

Because the child refused to tell him his parents' phone number.

of course.

It is also possible that the child does not remember.

……

The shopkeeper shook his head.

Somewhat dissatisfied with the child's parents.

When you go out, don't keep an eye on your children.

Such a young child.

How scared it would be to get lost from your parents.

……

The child lowered his head and tears fell.

At that moment, the feeling of being abandoned was so strong.

He was scared, embarrassed and helpless.

……

The police arrived quickly.

Seeing that the child was crying, he did not answer their questions.

They planned to take the child back to the police station first.

……

The store manager called the child.

He put a small turtle in a bag and handed it to the little boy.

……

The child looked up.

There was a look of helplessness and confusion between his brows.

……

"For you."

The store manager grinned.

"do not be sad."

The store manager thrust the bag into the child's hands.

……

After taking a few seconds to understand what the manager meant, the child's red face slowly opened up into a smile.

He was still a little unsure.

……

"Give it to you."

As if noticing the child's uneasiness, the store manager reaffirmed.

He took a few more bags of feed from the side.

"Here."

"I'll give you a few more packets of turtle feed."

"Take good care of it."

……

The child was holding the feed and the bag of turtles on his fingers, and a look of joy gradually lit up in his eyes.

He looked at the store manager.

"Thank you, thank you uncle."

The child tried hard to say thank you.

……

"You're welcome."

The store manager smiled and waved his hand, "Tell the police uncle your home address and ask the police uncle to take you home."

"Your family must be looking for you everywhere now."...

The little boy dropped his eyes.

There was no reaction to this statement.

Find him...

He stood here for a day...

My legs are sore and swollen.

I didn't have lunch either.

My stomach is numb from hunger.

I can't even scream anymore.

Such a long time...

His mother didn't come back to see him...

……

The little boy's eyes were burning.

The little boy opened his eyes stubbornly.

……

The little boy followed the policeman back to the police station.

……

He stuffed the bags of turtle feed that the store manager uncle gave him into his trouser pockets.

He held up the bag in his hand.

Looking at the little turtle in the bag, his mouth widened.

……

"Do you like little turtles?"

The policeman asked him with a smile.

……

The little boy was slightly stunned.

Then... nodded.

He likes the story of the tortoise and the hare.

The lagging tortoise will overtake the leading hare.

Become the final winner.

He also wanted to be such a turtle.

……

The policeman talked to the child about turtles.

……

The police station arrived soon.

The police uncle called the female police officer.

He thought the child would be more relaxed around a female officer.

did not think of……

The child hid behind him immediately.

The resistance to female police officers was evident.

……

The policeman didn't think much about it.

I just thought the child was shy.

Let the female police officer leave first.

……

After knowing that the child had not eaten dinner, the police officer ordered a takeout from a nearby restaurant for the child.

……

The takeaway arrived promptly.

……

Seeing the child eating with great relish, the policeman smiled.

……

After the child had eaten, the police officer asked for information about his family again.

This time, the child finally told him his mother's phone number.

……

The police officer immediately called the child’s mother.

He thought the child's parents must be worried and anxious at this time.

……

The call didn't go through.

The policeman hit me a second time.

This time, the phone was finally connected after ringing for a long time.

……

But the situation was different from what the police officer expected.

……

The child's mother was playing outside with another child.

I was on my way home at that time.

The other party asked him to send the little boy home.

They should be home by about that time.

The other party reported his home address.

……

He hung up the phone.

……

The policeman was a little confused.

He looked at the little boy who was sitting quietly in the chair.

……

The little boy held the bag in his hand.

Look at the little turtle in the bag.

Eyes sparkling.

……

The policeman pursed his lips.

He stepped forward.

"Walk."

"Uncle police will take you home."

……

The policeman quickly took the child to the child’s door.

……

The child's mother has not returned yet.

The policeman withdrew his hand from knocking on the door.

……

The little boy looked at him.

"Uncle police, you can go back now."

"I'm waiting here for my mother."

……

This was the first time the child took the initiative to talk to him.

The policeman shook his head.

"I'll stay with you until your mother comes back."

The policeman grinned.

……

The child's mother returned home an hour later.

The mother and daughter's laughter stopped abruptly when they saw the police at the door.

……

"Are you still there?"

the child's mother blurted out.

……

"Is this what you meant by being home soon?"
