Chapter 178 Huo Siqian Looking for His Father

In the dim and gloomy room, Huo Siqian curled up alone in a cold corner, and the darkness around him seemed to swallow up his small body.

The big teardrops fell like beads that had broken off the string, and when they hit the ground, they seemed to create ripples of tears. The faint moonlight shone through the gaps in the tattered curtains, sparingly sprinkling on his tear-stained little face.

He sobbed and muttered, "Dad, where are you? Why don't you come home?"

The voice echoed in the empty room, carrying endless sorrow and confusion.

His little body was trembling as he stared at the warm photo of a family of three on the wall, his heart filled with endless longing for his father. Now it had become the picture he had dreamed of the most, yet was out of reach.

Suddenly, Huo Siqian stood up from the ground as if he had made up his mind to fight to the death.

His legs were numb from being curled up for so long, and he staggered a few steps before steadying himself. Huo Siqian wiped away his tears with his sleeves, which were instantly soaked with tears. He bit his lips, his eyes revealing determination and stubbornness.

Huo Siqian's gaze turned to the big bed, and a bold idea popped up in his mind - use the quilt on the bed to tie into a rope and leave here to find his father.

He took a deep breath, as if to draw all his courage into his body, and began to move. His small hands struggled to pull the heavy quilt off the bed, as if he was dragging a heavy mountain.

Huo Siqian's forehead was furrowed, his teeth were clenched, and every movement seemed so strenuous. Then, he tied a corner of the quilt tightly to the pillar at the foot of the bed, and the veins on his hands bulged because of the effort. He gritted his teeth and pulled the quilt with all his strength, trying to tie it more firmly, as if it was the only thing he could rely on for his life.

After a while.

Huo Siqian's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which rolled down his red cheeks one after another. His little face was as red as a ripe apple, but he did not dare to stop for a moment. He folded one quilt after another together and tied knots carefully, muttering to himself: "Dad, I will find you." Although the voice was childish, it was full of determination.

Finally, a long "quilt rope" was made.

Huo Siqian carefully threw one end of the rope out of the window, then slowly crawled to the window and looked down. He saw the ground was dark and bottomless, and he couldn't help but feel a deep fear in his heart. The fear was like an invisible big hand, tightly grasping his heart.

But his longing for his father was like a burning flame, overcoming his fear. He held on to the rope tightly and moved down little by little. The night wind was howling like a mad beast, making the rope sway constantly, as if it would break in the next second.

Huo Siqian's heart also rose to his throat, as if a bomb was about to explode.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Huo Siqian, you can do it."

He encouraged himself, his little hands were covered in sweat due to nervousness, the sweat made his hands slippery and he could hardly hold the rope.

Every time he moved down a little, Huo Siqian would pause to adjust his rapid breathing and calm his panicked mind.

Finally, his feet touched the ground. At that moment, a smile of victory appeared on his face, and that smile was like a shining star in the darkness.

The night was quiet and deep, like a huge black pot turned upside down on the ground. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the trees on the roadside, casting patches of mottled shadows, like a monster with bared fangs and claws.

Huo Siqian's small figure ran desperately in the moonlight, clutching his pocket money tightly in his hand, running towards the bus stop. His panting sounded particularly clear in the silent night, as if it was the only sound in the dark night.

His steps staggered and he almost fell several times, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. From time to time, insects chirped in the grass by the roadside, as if cheering him on.

When they arrived at the bus stop, Huo Siqian's little face wrinkled into a ball, like a crumpled paper.

He suddenly realized that the pocket money he had was only enough for half the journey.

Just when he was extremely anxious, Huo Siqian's eyes suddenly lit up, like a bright light suddenly lit up in the darkness. He saw the bottle recycling station next to him, ran over without hesitation, and sold the few bottles he picked up along the way, and finally raised enough money for the fare.

After getting on the bus, Huo Siqian stared out the window nervously, without blinking, for fear of missing his stop.

At this time, a fierce uncle came over, his eyes were like a wolf with bad intentions, and he said: "Little boy, you are riding in the car alone, follow me, I will take you to find your father."

Huo Siqian's heart skipped a beat, as if a huge rock had hit a calm lake, and he instantly became alert. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

He quickly hid behind and shouted, "I don't know you, go away!"

But the uncle didn't give up. He put on a fake smile like a mask and continued to approach him. He reached out to pull him and said, "Don't be afraid, kid. I'm a good man and I will help you find your father."

Huo Siqian knew in his heart that this man was definitely not a good person. His brain was working rapidly, like a high-speed machine, thinking of ways to deal with the situation.

He refused loudly: "I don't want to go with you!" and leaned towards the passenger next to him, hoping to attract other people's attention. His eyes were full of fear and helplessness, like a frightened deer.

Fortunately, the uncle's actions attracted the attention of the passengers around him, and everyone cast puzzled glances at him, like searchlights.

Huo Siqian took the opportunity to shout loudly: "Uncle driver, this person bullied me!"

When the driver heard this, he immediately sternly stopped the bad uncle: "What are you doing! Don't bully children!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the bad uncle could only walk away in shame, like a dog with its tail between its legs.

Huo Siqian finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He leaned back softly on the seat, breathing heavily.

After getting off the car, Huo Siqian ran for a long distance. His steps became heavier and heavier, but he still did not stop. His calves were extremely sore, but when he thought of his father, he regained his strength.

Finally we arrived at the airport. The airport was crowded and noisy, with the sound coming one after another like waves.

Huo Siqian's small body struggled to move through the crowd, his eyes full of determination and hope, as if he was looking for a ray of light in the darkness. His shoulders were bumped from time to time, but he didn't care at all.

Suddenly, he felt an unfriendly gaze, which was like a cold arrow, shooting straight at him.

When he looked back, he saw an aunt with an unfriendly face, staring at him closely. The look in his eyes made him feel creepy, as if countless small bugs were crawling in his heart.

Huo Siqian quickened his pace, trying to get rid of her, but the aunt also quickened her pace and followed closely behind him. Her footsteps sounded like the beat of a drum. Huo Siqian's heartbeat quickened rapidly, like a rapidly beating drumstick, and he was terrified.

But he tried to calm himself down, and on a sudden inspiration, he deliberately walked into a store.

While the aunt wasn't paying attention, he quickly ran out from another door, like a nimble little rabbit. However, the aunt soon discovered him and continued to chase him, as if she would not stop until she caught him.

Huo Siqian observed the surrounding environment while running, his eyes scanning quickly like a radar. Seeing a group of airport staff in front of him, he hurried over and hid behind them, like a little bird that found a shelter.

The aunt chased here, but seeing so many people, she didn't dare to go forward rashly. She could only wander around unwillingly in the distance, her eyes full of anger and helplessness.

Huo Siqian hid behind the staff, his heart beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He gasped for breath, and sweat soaked his back.

After a long while, he was sure that the aunt had left, and then he carefully walked out from behind the staff.

However, he had only taken a few steps when he heard the aunt's voice behind him: "Stop! Don't run!"

Huo Siqian didn't dare to look back. He ran desperately. His breathing became rapid, making a "whoosh" sound like an old bellows, and his little face turned red like a ripe tomato.

Just when he was running out of breath, suddenly there was a "bang" and he bumped into someone's arms.

"oops!"

Huo Siqian called out and was about to apologize when he looked up and saw an extremely handsome face. A familiar feeling of intimacy suddenly rose in his heart.
