Bai Zhun looked at the video and felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained in an instant.
He remembered what his grandfather had said to him yesterday.
He had said, "Be careful, even little Ajiu can't stand you."
Bai Zhun's stiff fingers could barely move, as if it was difficult for him to even stand up.
At this time, Old Master Bai walked in with a cane. His military uniform was very dignified. He first looked at his grandson and let out a long sigh, then he took out a piece of paper. "This was found in you and little Ajiu's room. Little Ajiu put it on the desk where you often do your homework. Take a look."
Bai Zhun was shocked and took the piece of paper from him.
"Big Brother, by the time you see this piece of paper, I would have already left the compound. The Bai family is your home. You can't not go home because of me. Grandpa will miss you, and I will miss you too. I know I'm too clingy. Sometimes, you have to take care of me, so you can't even get to do your own things. Therefore, I have decided to go back to the mountain. I thought about it, and still feel that life on the mountain is more suitable for me. After coming down the mountain, I've been stuck to you all day, so I'm sure you feel tired. Wuli Buddha said to give others a certain amount of freedom, otherwise, the two of them would find it harder and harder to get along more. I don't want to become like that with my Big Brother. In the future, if you miss me, you can come to the mountain to see me. When I miss you, I can also write letters to you. There's no phone on the mountain, but if I can write letters, I will try my best to write some to my little brother. XOXO."
The last 'XOXO' was something the child recently learned. A very cute little paw print was also printed on the back, and there were a few serious looking words above it: Yours sincerely, Ajiu.
Chapter 1198 - Ajiu, Ajiu
Bai Zhun looked at the words on the paper and his fingers clenched tighter and tighter, so tight that his knuckles turned white.
From the first day he met little Ajiu, it seemed that he had made the child suffer.
Even if he had not grown up, he was already a junior high school student after all. He had clearly told himself that he had to take good care of little Ajiu.
But in reality, he had been awful to her in the past two days.
He had avoided the child in everything. He had not even gone to pick her up from school.
Bai Zhun could even imagine how depressed the child must have been.
He was the one who had said that she would always be a member of the family, but he was also the one who had failed her.
Bai Zhun bit his lip. He did not even notice that his lip had been cut from how hard he bit himself.
In the end, Old Master Bai could not bear to see his grandson torture himself like this. "Let's go. We'll go to the mountain now to pick up little Ajiu."
"No." Bai Zhun suddenly raised his head. "Little Ajiu has never taken a bus before. She doesn't even know the way back. Grandpa, I'm sure she hasn't returned to the mountain yet. We have to find her! We have to use the Bai family's connections! We have to find her through the surveillance cameras!"
This was the first time that Bai Zhun had taken the initiative to use the Bai family's influence to do something.
The Bai family's discipline had always been strict, and Bai Zhun had also been different from the other children in the military compound. He always seemed to rely on himself for everything since he was young. He had never let the family worry about him.
At that time, Xiao Lin only felt that no matter how principled a person was, they would break these principles because someone else had popped up in their life, to the extent that this new person would make you behave unlike your usual self.
Was it at that moment that the 'romantic love' that was often mentioned by a.d.u.l.ts, was born?
The boys were still too young, so they had to rely on their families to get certain things done.
To call up the surveillance cameras, they had to go through many departments before they could call up the people on the streets.
The general rule was that no matter if it was children or women, they had to be missing for more than twenty-four hours before their family could file a report.
But in reality, everyone knew that twenty-four hours was too long. If little Ajiu really encountered any danger during this period, Bai Zhun would definitely regret it for the rest of his life!
He simply could not wait, and he did not want to wait.
The situation now was very obvious. Although little Ajiu had not been taken away by someone, no one could predict what would happen to her after she left the compound. No matter how good the security in the city was, there would still be human traffickers. Little Ajiu was only six years old and was already younger than the average child walking around on the streets, so it was inevitable that she would become the target of human traffickers.
Even if all of these did not exist, little Ajiu did not know her way around either.
Bai Zhun wished he had packed a pile of cash in her pocket the night before. That way, even if she had gotten lost, she wouldn't starve.
It was almost ten o'clock. Whenever Bai Zhun thought about how the child might not get to eat lunch, his heart would clench in pain.
He had seen those dirty children under the overpass. They were all following the other a.d.u.l.t beggars to ask for money from passersby.
He could not imagine how much his heart would ache if little Ajiu became like that.
He only hoped that his little Ajiu would meet a kind person, even if it was just to give her some food.
On this day, before the people in the city knew what was going on, they saw military vehicles driving in front of them. One look at the license plate of the vehicles told them that they were from the army.
"Is it another meeting?"
"That's impossible. Wasn't there a meeting just a while ago? If they were really having a meeting, there would definitely be people checking us in the subway. But there aren't any checkpoints at the subway."
"Then what's going on with these military vehicles? There are a little too many of them."
"I don't know, but it's really quite strange..."
Little Ajiu had listened to the conductor's advice and went to change bus, but she only became more confused. Why did this mountain look so different from the one she had lived on before?
The more little Ajiu looked at the mountain, the more depressed she became.
Knowing that this was not the place she was looking for, she took the bus back to the city.
As she sat there, the child felt sleepy. She held the little white cat in her hands, and her little head kept nodding. She looked very cute that way.
In addition, she was wearing a kasaya, which made her look even cuter.
After sitting in the bus for nearly half an hour, she heard the announcement that they were reaching the next stop soon. Little Ajiu rubbed her big eyes with her tiny hands and followed the people out of the bus.
"Xiao Bai, do you smell that? It smells so good here!"
Little Ajiu's nose twitched as she carried the little white cat and her school bag while walking towards the source of the smell.
It turned out that little Ajiu had arrived at Wudaokou without realizing it.
Occasionally, one could hear people passing by speaking in Korean.
Little Ajiu tilted her little head and listened for a while. Then, she ran to the side of the road and looked at the uncle pushing the cart with her big eyes.
The uncle was still returning a customer change, but he looked down and met Little Ajiu's gaze. When he saw that she was wearing a kasaya, he was stunned for a moment before he smiled. "Hello little one, are you hungry?"
Little Ajiu nodded.
The uncle swiftly flipped his hand and smeared the batter onto the pan. "Watch me make you a fried pancake. I'll let you have a taste."
There was a searing sound as the flour hit the oil.
Little Ajiu sme
lled the eggs inside, and she rested her little hands on the uncle's pushcart.
The white cat jumped on her head and wagged its tail back and forth.
After the pancake was made, it was very hot. The uncle very considerately used two layers of paper to wrap the pancake before giving it to her. "Try it. How does uncle's pancake taste?"
Even those who did not plan to buy any pancakes couldn't help but stand in line when they saw little Ajiu eating it so cutely and deliciously.
Little Ajiu wasn't full after eating just one pancake. After she finished the pancake that the uncle handed to her, she clapped her little hands and also stood in line with everyone else.
Since she was along a shopping area, everyone could not help but look at the young child wearing a kasaya standing in the middle.
Little Ajiu did not pay attention to this. As a foodie, she lifted up her small schoolbag as she thought of buying a few more pancakes in a while. She decided that the next time she saw Bai Zhun, she would give them to him to eat. He loved to eat pasta, so he would definitely like to eat pancakes too!
The child did not change her habit of nodding along when she agreed with her own opinion even when she was outside the house.
Everyone who was watching her felt their hearts almost melt. They almost died from the cuteness especially after the little girl took the pancakes, put the money in the uncle's money box, and even bowed and chanted Amitabha. She was really like a little monk.
Little Ajiu had food on hand now, so she became energetic again. Just as she was about to think about where she should go next, she suddenly heard a scream not far from her!
Chapter 1199 - Little Ajiu Gets Injured
Little Ajiu was still buried in her pancakes hungrily. When she heard the scream, she immediately looked behind her!
On the road where cars were coming and going, a child had run to the middle of the road to chase after his balloon. On the left of the child, a road cleaning vehicle did not have time to step on his brakes.
The driver's expression could even be seen through the car window. He was still stepping on the brakes desperately.
The most dangerous thing was that there was a Mercedes-Benz sports car on the child's right side!
Everyone thought that there was no hope for the child.
Even if the cleaning vehicle could stop in time, the Mercedes-Benz would not be able to. Unless the two cars collided heavily, the child would not be able to escape this disaster!
The one who had screamed was the child's mother. She seemed to be in despair and wanted to run to the middle of the road to save her child.
The person behind her pulled her back with all his might. He even pulled his arms around her waist because he did not want her to risk her life!
The ear-piercing sound of the brakes tore through the bustling Wudaokou. Almost everyone could not help but hold their breaths. They could not bear to watch the heart-palpitating scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere.
But at that moment!
The pancake vendor suddenly felt a small whirlwind blowing past his ears.
When he looked up again, he saw little Ajiu, who was originally standing beside him, tap her toes on the guardrail and the roof of the cars on the road. Her speed was very fast, just like the long-lost Kungfu he saw on television!
Everyone was stunned, including the child's mother. They all paused for a moment.
However, in less than a second, little Ajiu bent over with a pancake in her mouth and carried up the child, who was only a little younger than her, by the waist.
Then, there was a loud bang!
The cleaning vehicle crashed into the guardrail!
The Mercedes-Benz sped past and stepped on the brakes as well. The sound of brakes rang out one after another.
Was this little monk from another world?
After little Ajiu landed on the ground, the people who were walking by all raised their phones and took a few photos.
The people who posted on their WeChat pages and the people who posted on Weibo could almost be described as excited.
"I passed by Wudaokou and saw the quintessence of China from 5,000 years of history. The little monk can walk on the cars!"
"I'm not going to say anything else. Hurry up and look at the picture. This little monk is so cute. His posture of saving another child is too cool!"
"What the f.u.c.k is going on?! Are you sure that this isn't a production crew shooting a movie?"
"Is someone just creating hype for a movie?"
"Hype my ass! Wudaokou is going to explode. If you want to see the cutest monk you've ever seen in your lives, hurry up and come here right now!"
"I wish I could bring this little monk home!"
Almost in an instant, photos and videos of little Ajiu's back view wearing a kasaya while rescuing another child from danger occupied the entire internet.
Little Ajiu was like her brother in this aspect. Every time something big happened to them, they would start trending on the internet immediately.
When the child's mother saw that little Ajiu had brought her son back, she immediately hugged her son in her arms and cried while saying, "Thank God!"
The child was also scared silly by the scene just now. He was still in a daze as he held a toy in his hand.
The child's mother stood up and kept saying to little Ajiu, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Little Ajiu was still holding the pancake in her mouth. Her cheeks puffed up as she said, "Amitabha." After saying that, she did not forget to bow. That serious look of hers could really melt a person's heart.
The child's mother did not know how to express her gratitude anymore. She only patted her child's back in a fl.u.s.ter as tears ran down her face.
When Little Ajiu saw that everyone was fine, she picked up her white cat and wanted to leave. When she raised her head, she realized that she was surrounded by people.
The scene just now was really too shocking!
It was not just the speed with which she used to save the little boy. With just the tip of her toes, she could fly in the air. It had already aroused the deepest yearning within everyone's hearts to learn this sort of martial arts.
"Little one, where did you learn kungfu?"
"Can you teach me? Do you think I can learn it? I met a fortune-teller before who said that I was a martial arts prodigy. You can feel my bones and verify this!"
"Me too! Me too! I've got plenty of potential too!"
Little Ajiu looked at these older people stretching their arms towards her, and her little face was a little confused.
She shook her lotus-like little arm and looked behind her. Then, she looked down and poked her arm with her little finger.
At this time, people saw that she had been injured. Although it wasn't serious, it was obvious that her skin had been scratched.
Little Ajiu lowered her head, pouted her little mouth, and blew on it.
The child did not know what was going on, but the more she blew on her little mouth, the more aggrieved she felt.
She felt that she must be missing Bai Zhun.
If Bai Zhun was here, he would definitely apply medicine on her wound, and after applying the medicine, her arm would not hurt anymore.
Even if someone next to her wanted to help her, they would not dare to do it. After all, she was not their child. If anybody carried her now, he might look like the one who injured the little child.
Moreover, the injury wasn't that serious. It was just a scratch.
But no one knew, or rather, different people had different attitudes when faced with the same situation.
For Bai Zhun, if little Ajiu was even just slightly scratched, his heart would ache for an entire year.
But for others, it was just a small scratch…
"Shit! Bai Zhun, quick, look at this!" Sitting in the front seat, Li Hailou was scrolling through his WeChat. He handed the phone to Bai Zhun in the back seat. "Don't you think this looks like little Ajiu?!"
It didn
't just look like her, it was definitely her!
Therefore, when Bai Zhun saw the photo, he immediately asked his men to turn the car around. His eyes were dark as he clenched the phone in his palm. "Drive faster, drive faster!"
These military issued cars were fast cars, plus Bai Zhun and the others were only a kilometer away from where little Ajiu was.
Bai Zhun could not wait any longer. With a bang, he opened the car door and just like that, he held onto Li Hailou's phone and ran in the direction of the Wudaokou shopping area. No matter how Vice-Commander Zhang called him, he did not turn back.
Vice-Commander Zhang was worried about him. It was noon, and the sun was so bright that it could almost roast a person. The young master was already so anxious. What if something terrible happened to him because of the heat?
Chapter 1200 - Bai Zhun Arrived
It was indeed hot, especially in the North.
At 12:30 in the afternoon, the dazzling sunlight shone on people's eyes, making it impossible for them to open their eyes in the summer.
Cars and people were everywhere, and there were all kinds of noises coming from everywhere.
However, Bai Zhun acted as if he didn't hear anything and ran forward in large strides.
Xiao Lin looked at the youth in the car who never went out to play in the summer.
His food and clothing had always been the best. Even Chief Bai was not willing to expose him to the sun.
He still remembered that Bai Zhun had once said that other than the special needs during military training, he would not run outside for no reason because he did not like to sweat.
Xiao Lin could not tell how he felt when he saw Bai Zhun working so hard.
However, if there was a chance, he would definitely tell Ajiu personally, "You are the only person who can make that pampered Bai Zhun give up his pride."
Bai Zhun did not think too much about it. He only wanted to be faster, faster!
From time to time, he would raise his head to look at the photo on his phone. After comparing his position, he would continue to run forward.
