247 I Don’t Have Any Candy
The decorations in the room were very simple and crude.
“Make do while you’re away.” Feng Tian had no intention of dragging Ning Dai and Mo Chen into this, so he felt bad.
The three of them packed up and went out to look for clues.
Because of their arrival, all the children in the town had gathered. They were filled with curiosity towards Ning Dai and the other two, but they would only hide and look at them from afar, not daring to go forward.
Ning Dai took out candy from her backpack. Her expression slowed down as she stretched her hand forward.
Those children loved candy, but they were filled with vigilance towards Ning Dai. One of the children quickly went forward and grabbed a piece of candy from Ning Dai’s hand.
This action of his frightened Mo Chen. He reflexively stretched out his hand to protect Ning Dai behind him. He was afraid that these children would be rash and bump into Ning Dai’s stomach. This place was desolate, and it was truly a risk.
However, Ning Dai waved her hand and asked Mo Chen to stand back.
She placed the candy in her hand on the ground and took a step back. As expected, those children slowly began to move forward.
Very quickly, the candy on the ground was snatched away by these children.
Ning Dai wanted to call out to one of the children, but in the end, not a single child remained. Ning Dai was slightly disappointed, but she did not care.
She looked up and saw a thin, dark girl standing in front of her. This girl was too thin. Her cheeks were sunken, which made her eyes look especially big.
The clothes on the little girl were tattered. They were probably made up of many pieces of clothes, and they hung on the little girl’s body with wrinkles.
The little girl opened her mouth, and her dirty little hand carefully reached out in front of Ning Dai.
Ning Dai didn’t understand what it meant at first, but the little girl’s gaze was persistent.
“You want candy too?” Ning Dai didn’t know what the language was here, so she could only ask in English.
The little girl who didn’t expect it nodded. “I don’t have any candy.”
Ning Dai took out the candy from her bag and placed it in the little girl’s palm.
“Can I ask you a few questions?”
The little girl looked at the candy in her palm and grinned. Then, she pointed behind her and said, “Follow me.”
The three of them looked at each other. They did not know where the little girl was going to take them, but at the moment, only the little girl was willing to talk to them.
Soon, some dilapidated houses appeared in front of them. The little girl led the three of them to a house made of wood. The roof of the house was covered with leaves.
“Mommy.”
The little girl’s voice was filled with joy. She ran in and handed two pieces of candy to a middle-aged woman who was carrying a child in the house.
“Candy, this is candy!” The little girl ran in a hurry. Her face was slightly red. She excitedly held the candy in front of the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman’s gaze fell on the three people behind her. She slowly moved her body and walked out, her face filled with gratitude.
“Thank you for the candy. Come in and have a cup of tea.” The woman’s voice was very gentle.
“We want to ask if you have seen this person.” Feng Tian could not help but take out his master’s photo and show it to the middle-aged woman.
The woman looked at the photo carefully and said with certainty, “He is a doctor who has come to our village.”
“Do you know where he is now?” Feng Tian was a little anxious.
“I am not very sure. When this doctor came, he asked us about something.”
