C6 Critical Time Rescue

Tong Zimei rushed all the way to the school. The school was already dark and the door was shut tight. There was only the dim glow of the street lamp by the gate.

Tong Zi's forehead sank as she hurriedly took out her phone. However, she discovered that her phone screen was completely black; it was out of battery. Along the way, she didn't receive any urging calls from her teacher. So that was the case, she immediately panicked.

He walked up and knocked on the school door, "Hello, is there anyone here? I'm here to pick up the baby! "Simple — Simple —"

After calling out for a long time, there was no response.

She felt the sky spin and the earth spin as she rushed all the way to this exhausted place.

She leaned against the door for a while before she could think normally. It was impossible for a teacher to leave a child behind. When she thought of this point, she felt strong enough to move her whole body.

Maybe the teacher lived nearby. She ran out of the school lane and ran to the other side, where there were a few scattered residential buildings, but she was disappointed. She had been shouting in the neighborhood for a long time, and no one had answered her.

"Has the child been lost?"

"No …" she gasped.

"Then... "Nutjob —" The person on top rolled her eyes and closed the window.

As she walked out of the district, her mind was in a mess. Where did Jane go? Would he be punished by his teacher for being naughty? Thinking about how her son was scolded by a teacher and had tears welling up in his eyes, yet he still tried to hold it in, she felt her heart clench into a knot. Sigh, that damned phone!

Worried, she cursed as she muddled up the Wu Tong Fifth Avenue.

She walked step by step along Fifth Avenue, exhausted from the search. It was not far from her home, and she would be there in twenty minutes.

She didn't notice that the people in the car parked behind the road had forgotten to light their cigarettes when they saw her coming out.

Where else was she going at this late hour? he thought.

He followed her slowly, suddenly uncomfortable and slowing down.

However, the lights of the car still disturbed Tong Zimei, who seemed to be in a trance.

She stopped and looked back. The blinding light made her turn, but she didn't block his path, she thought.

He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and quickly ran towards the front of the car.

"Hello, may I trouble you to --"

The car stopped and the windows rolled down. She raised her cell phone and hurriedly said, "Hello, my cell phone is out of battery. Can it be you?" Her eyes widened in surprise.

The man inside the car smiled gently and handed over the phone, "I've never been here before. I just took a spin and I actually bumped into one. What a coincidence."

She hesitated for a moment, then took the phone. Without waiting for pleasantries, she walked a few steps out of the car and dialed Tian Tian's number, "My phone ran out of battery, I was at the entrance of the school, their school was already closed, I don't know where they took it …" At this point, her tears were almost brought out. Since she was young, she had never been away from her for a day. Now that she was gone, it was like parting from life to death.

"What?" At home? "Oh, okay, I'll be right back." She was stunned for a moment, then her tears turned into smiles. She suddenly felt that it was not right in front of a stranger, hurriedly took out a tissue from her handbag to wipe her eyes, adjusted her mood, turned around and handed the phone to the man in the car with both hands, "Thank you so much. You helped me twice today."

She didn't mean to ask him his name, and he knew she was a smart, defensive woman, and he didn't want to ask her, so he nodded. "You're welcome," he said. The scenery here is very good. It's time for me to return too. Goodbye. "

He took the phone, smiled at her, and drove on. In the rearview mirror, the woman in black and white walked in the other direction.

He picked up his cell phone and checked the call log, but found nothing.

"What a meticulous woman." He smiled.

Tong Zi Mei walked briskly towards home.

This was an independent small courtyard in the eighties, situated on the fifth parallel to the Second Avenue of the Parasol Tree.

The area was once a squalid shantytown, but in the 1980s a local Chinese traveler came back to finance the development of a modern wutong road with the local government. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the family has a wutong tree, attracting golden phoenixes". Because the meaning of auspicious, and all plant Wutong, so called "Wutong Road." This area was divided into five districts by the straight path planted with the wutong tree. The name of the area was given to the first several districts of the tree. The inhabitants of the two sides of the wutong street were all small, exclusive courtyards. The red walls were vermilion, and the trees were shady. This was mentioned in the last century when the Wutong Road was first mentioned.

But today, with the appearance of commercial houses, high-end commercial houses and even luxurious villas, the small courtyard of Wutong Avenue gradually lost its charm of the past. It was located in the old city. Now that S City was in the midst of a fierce development of a new city, the quiet of this city was even more unknown. Moreover, with the improvement of living standards, the people in the Wutong Avenue gradually walked out of the high-class area of the last century and began to live in the urban areas and new districts. As a result, there weren't many people who actually lived in the small courtyard of the Wutong Road.

There were also rumors that because of the overall plan of S city, the Wutong Road could be destroyed.

However, these were not things that he was considering at the moment. Tong Zi Mei moved quickly and lightly along the second path of the parasol tree. The dense wutong trees on both sides of the red walls of the walkway were covered with mountain climbing tigers, making the small courtyard even more tranquil.

When she arrived at her own small courtyard, she felt at ease as she looked through the dark iron gate and saw the warm light shining through the window.

He took out his keys and opened the door, turning around to close it.

This was a small two-story courtyard. Under the light of the roof, the courtyard was filled with flowers and plants. The flower racks that were set up bloomed with flowers of all sizes, and one could vaguely see ripe cucumbers and silk melons hanging under the flower racks.

Tong Zimei entered the room and bent down to change her shoes. Before she could get up, she was almost pushed down by a figure that pounced on her.

She hugged the little person tightly. "Jane, are you alright? You scared Mom to death."

"Mom, why did you not say your word? Why are you still so late? Teacher is already anxious from waiting." Jane came down and pulled Tong Zimei's hand inside.

She was momentarily stunned. A teacher was sitting on the sofa, a fat middle-aged woman was sitting there, Tian Tian was busy pouring tea for them.

Before the teacher could say anything, Tong Zimei was already apologizing, "Teacher Xiao, sorry to trouble you. There's no electricity on the phone."

Seeing that she had come back, Teacher Xiao did not stay any longer. He stood up and said seriously, "Jane mother, I have been teaching for so many years and have always thought that the child's matter is a big matter. I still have to pick up the child on time. I will be leaving first."

Tong Zimei did not dare to urge him to stay. She pulled a timid child from behind her and brought Teacher Xiao to her house. "Teacher Xiao, it's already so late. I should call a car for you. I'm really sorry."

"No need, the child hasn't eaten yet. Let him eat something, I'm not far from the ground." Teacher Xiao waved his hand and left.

Tong Zi Mei felt a bit guilty. When she heard that the child had not eaten yet, she rushed back into the house and pulled Jane along. "Jane, how did you get back?"

"Mom, how old am I? I remember the way home. If you don't come, I'll let Teacher Xiao come to our house." Jane pouted and proudly patted her chest. She looked like a small adult.

Tian Tian walked over and handed over a cup of tea, complaining, "Aunt Mei, you can still laugh, ah, you didn't know that this fat woman kept blabbering on and on for a long time, my ears were about to get calluses."
