Chapter 5223 Only Them
The child looked up.

I just felt that the sky was full of fiery red "butterflies".

The child held his breath unconsciously.

……

"kid."

……

"kid!"

……

The child woke up suddenly.

She turned her head almost in panic.

……

The old lady was a little frightened by the child's expression.

A look of astonishment appeared on his face.

……

After a few seconds, the beautiful red shadow that remained on the eyeball disappeared, and the child could see clearly...

Appearing before her...

It's an old lady.

……

The child pursed his lips.

Finally saw someone...

But the child was not as happy as he had imagined.

She even felt a little resentful towards the old lady in her heart for disturbing her from watching the maple leaves.

……

The child's expression returned to normal and the old lady's expression also eased.

She shook her head slightly.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Little friend, did the old woman scare you just now?"

"Feel sorry."

……

The child immediately shook his head in panic.

He stammered something.

Due to her physical condition, she rarely has one-on-one contact with strangers.

I am not good at getting along with strangers.

and……

She remembered that her parents had told her many times not to talk to strangers.

Mom and Dad also said...

If you get lost from your parents, don't walk around, wait for them to find you.

She should be waiting for her parents at the school gate.

Maybe mom and dad are just late...

Mom and Dad can't find her...

The child looked increasingly uneasy.

……

Seeing this, the old lady bent down slightly, looking kind, "Little friend, why are you here alone?"

"Not going to school?"

Today is not a day off.

It’s not even time for school to end as usual.

Children of this age should be in school.

Why is this child here alone?
Won't……

Are you skipping school?
An idea suddenly occurred to the old lady.

But this child doesn't look like a naughty student who would skip school...

The old lady looked at the child.

……

"School is dismissed early today."

The child is taciturn.

"They said the weather was bad..."

"There's a typhoon coming..."

……

Oh.

The old lady suddenly realized.

She nodded, "Yes, the weather forecast says there will be a typhoon coming soon."

"So the school is on holiday."

"Then why don't you go home?"

The old lady was puzzled, "There will be a typhoon coming soon."

Don’t let such a young child be blown away by the typhoon.

....
"I……"

The child's face suddenly turned red.

"I……"

……

The old lady waited patiently for the child's answer.

……

The child twirled his fingers unconsciously.

"I……"

"Chasing a cat..."

"I can't find the way back to school."

The child lowered his eyes and said honestly.

……

what?
The old lady was stunned.

This is what happened...

……

"Mom and Dad can't find me..."

The child's mouth pursed.

My eyes started to turn red.

……

"Don't worry."

The old lady immediately comforted the child, "Grandma will take you to school."

"Not far."

“The school is nearby.”

"It will be here soon."

That's why she didn't think of the possibility that the child was lost.

It seems that he is a child with a poor sense of direction.

……

"Come."

The old lady held out her hand.

"Grandma will take you back to school."

……

The child's eyes glowed slightly.

After hesitating for a while, she reached out and held the old lady's hand. …

The old lady lowered her head and smiled at the child.

She then realized that the child's eyes were red.

You must have cried just now.

I was scared because I was lost and couldn't find my parents...

……

"We'll be able to see mom and dad soon."

The old lady comforted the child.

……

The child nodded.

After walking a few steps, she remembered something.

The child looked back.

The maple tree is a little far away.

The fiery red color is like a sharp blade, crossing time and space, leaving a deep mark in the children's eyes and hearts.

……

The old lady looked back as if she realized something.

I immediately noticed the maple trees.

She smiled and said, "Like maple trees?"

……

The child turned his head somewhat bewilderedly.

After a few seconds, she nodded.

so beautiful.

……

The old lady curled her lips.

“Now is the season when maple leaves turn red.”

“There aren’t many maple trees here.”

"If you like, ask your parents to take you to Xiangshan to see the maple trees during your holidays."

"There are so many maple trees there... all over the mountains..."

"It's spectacular and beautiful."

……

The child pursed his lips.

His eyes lit up with anticipation because of the old lady's description.

Maple trees all over the mountains...

Wow……

……

"arrive."

The old lady reminded the child, "Look."

"Your school is just ahead, isn't it?"

……

The child suddenly raised his eyes.

The next second, a surprised smile appeared on the child's face.

Ah!
The child nodded vigorously.

It's her school!
She's back to her school!

……

The old lady smiled.

"Is it very close?"

……

She took her child to the school gate.

She looked around.

School was already over.

It was quiet.

They were the only ones at the school gate.

"…your parents haven't arrived yet?"

The old lady looked at the child, "Or did I arrive here but didn't see you and went to look for you somewhere else?"

……

The child pursed his lips.

she does not know.

When the child returned to school, he first breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, she became nervous and panicked again.

Mom and dad...

Why haven't you come to pick her up yet?
……

"It's fine."

The old lady comforted the child.

As long as she is here, she will accompany the child to find his parents.

"Is there a call from mom and dad?"

the old lady asked.

Nowadays, many parents let their children memorize their family’s and parents’ phone numbers just in case.

……

The child shook his head.

Her situation is rather special.

Because of her health, her parents never asked her to do many things.

Moreover, she was used to having her parents by her side almost all the time.

This accident made her experience for the first time the helplessness and fear of not having her parents around.

……

There's none?
The old lady was a little surprised.

"fine."

In this case, we can only...

"Let's go ask the police for help."

The old lady looked around the quiet school.

If the child's teacher is still in school, it would be helpful to contact the teacher.

But the teacher should have gone home too.

……

The students in this school are all from nearby communities.

It's elementary school after all.

They all go to school nearby.

The police should be able to find the child's parents soon.

……

"Let's go."

The old lady shook the child's hand slightly and said, "Let's go find the police."

In case the child’s parents are also looking for their child, letting the police find them as soon as possible will stop them from looking for their child like headless flies.

……

Ok.

The child nodded.

Her parents told her that if she encountered any problems and they were not around, she should ask the police for help.
