Fang Zicheng understood what Number 199 meant.
He focused and said in his heart, “I was in a bag at the dump.”
[I’m in a bag at the dump.]
Lu Yinxi heard Fang Zicheng’s voice again.
This time, Fang Zicheng’s voice was louder than ever. Lu Yinxi could even accurately tell the direction of the sound. She covered her nose to resist the stench and climbed over the pile of garbage.
Lu Yinxi climbed for a while before stopping in front of a pile of trash. The pile of trash in front of her was two to three meters tall. It was made of trash of all colors. Lu Yinxi looked at this pile of trash and could no longer hear Fang Zicheng’s voice.
Dad Lu followed behind her.
The father and son looked at the pile of trash in front of them. Father Lu asked Lu Yinxi, “Is it here?”
Lu Yinxi said, “The sound disappeared here.”
Father Lu felt that he had gone crazy.
In the middle of the night, he was actually accompanying his daughter to rummage through the rubbish dump. That black sedan had just left not long ago. If Fang Zicheng was really thrown into the rubbish dump by them, he must be in the outermost part.
Lu Yinxi was about to reach for the trash when Dad Lu stopped her. He said, “I’ll do it.”
Dad Lu quickly rummaged through the trash.
He searched for a few minutes but could not find Fang Zicheng.
The stench of garbage lingered around him. Dad Lu frowned and said to Lu Yinxi, “Cover your nose.” Lu Yinxi did as she was told. However, this was a junkyard, and the air was filled with the smell of garbage. Covering his nose could not block the smell.
Lu Yinxi watched as Dad Lu pulled down a trash bag.
The bag rolled down, and the things inside seemed to be very heavy.
Father Lu was stunned.
This weight…
He stared at the shape of the trash bag under him and could vaguely see a human figure inside. It should be a child’s body. Dad Lu was shocked. He could not believe that his daughter had guessed correctly!
“Is it him?” Lu Yinxi asked her father uncertainly.
Father Lu remained silent.
He took a deep breath, bent down, and cut the trash bag with the mini knife on the keychain.
With a tearing sound, the trash bag was separated.
A child rolled out of the trash bag.
“Yinxi!”
Dad Lu exclaimed. Lu Yinxi subconsciously pointed the flashlight at the child. Only then did they see that the child’s clothes were covered in blood.
The child rolled on the ground, his back to them, his face facing down.
Daddy Lu turned the child over and saw a familiar child’s face.
The child’s face was pale, and his brows were tightly furrowed. His eyes seemed to be closed, but also seemed to be open. It was impossible to guess if he was dead or alive.
The light landed on Fang Zicheng’s face, and his eyelashes trembled. He composed himself and saw an adult’s face filled with shock and a familiar cute little face in the light.
The girl looked at him with a afraid and sad expression. “Fang Zicheng, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been fierce to you in the afternoon. I’m sorry, I came late. I’m sorry.” Lu Yinxi cried with snot and tears. She always felt that it was her fault that Fang Zicheng had gone missing.
Fang Zicheng looked at the father and daughter deeply, and some of his consciousness that he had forcefully left completely disappeared.
“Fang Zicheng!” Unable to wake Fang Zicheng up, Lu Yinxi asked Dad Lu in a panic, “He’s dead?”
Dad Lu quickly stretched out his finger and checked under Fang Zicheng’s nose. There was still heat. He said, “He’s still breathing!” Carrying Fang Zicheng, Dad Lu said to Lu Yinxi, “Follow me. He needs resuscitation.”
The father and daughter stumbled out of the dump.
Sitting on the motorcycle, Lu Yinxi did as her father had taught her. She called the police and an ambulance.
Binjiang City was not congested at night. There were fewer cars than during the day.
They had just entered the suburbs of Binjiang City when they saw the ambulance waiting.
Father Lu placed Fang Zicheng in the ambulance and the father and daughter got into the car. They watched as the doctor stopped the bleeding for Fang Zicheng in the car. The nurse called and instructed the hospital to prepare for emergency surgery.
Lu Yinxi sat beside Father Lu and stared blankly at the nurse who cut open Fang Zicheng’s clothes, revealing the bloody wound on his abdomen.
Her eyes were suddenly covered.
Lu Yinxi heard her father say, “Yinxi, don’t look.”
Lu Yinxi’s breathing was very heavy.
Her face turned pale.
Finally, they arrived at the hospital.
The moment the car door opened, Fang Zicheng carried Lu Yinxi out of the car. Father Lu also carried Lu Yinxi out of the car. Father Lu placed Lu Yinxi on the ground. Lu Yinxi stood up and looked up to see Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng standing in front of her.
Fang Yusheng thanked the father and daughter solemnly before turning to follow the doctor into the hospital.
Qiao Jiusheng also cried and thanked Lu Yinxi.
The father and daughter followed Qiao Jiusheng into the hospital. They took the elevator to the operating theater. In the elevator, Qiao Jiusheng stood alone in a corner, covering her face and crying. Father Lu was a little embarrassed and did not know how to comfort Qiao Jiusheng.
Lu Yinxi found a packet of tissues in her small pocket and handed it to Qiao Jiusheng. “Auntie, wipe your tears.”
Qiao Jiusheng wiped her tears with the back of her hand and looked down at the small hand holding the tissue in front of her. She realized that Lu Yinxi’s fingers were stained with some leftovers. Qiao Jiusheng took the tissue and wiped her eyes before asking Lu Yinxi, “Moose, where did you find Iron Egg?”
Lu Yinxi’s name came from Moose Yinxi. After Qiao Jiusheng found out about this, every time she saw Lu Yinxi, she would call her Moose.
Lu Yinxi lowered her eyes and said softly, “The dump.”
Qiao Jiusheng’s expression froze.
She looked up and saw Dad Lu nodding.
Qiao Jiusheng’s heart ached, and her eyes, which had just been wiped clean, started to cry again.
…
When the three of them walked out of the elevator, they did not see Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng and Fang Zicheng had the same blood type. He went into the room to transfuse his blood. Qiao Jiusheng stared at the operating theater for a long time and sniffed a few times before she finally calmed down.
Qiao Jiusheng called her family and informed them before squatting at the entrance of the operating theater with her phone.
Lu Yinxi held Dad Lu’s hand and stood aside. Her pink lips were tightly pursed, and she looked a little sad.
Not long after, Lisa and the rest arrived. Even Fang Taoran and Aunt Jin rushed over. Firstly, the well-mannered grandfather held Daddy Lu’s hand tightly and thanked him profusely.
Father Lu was at a loss. Facing the Fang family’s gratitude, Father Lu only said over and over again that there was no need to thank him. It was only right…
After an unknown period of time, some more people rushed over.
Lu Yinxi did not know those people.
This surgery lasted for more than four hours.
Lu Yinxi had fallen asleep in her father’s arms. Suddenly, she was pushed by her father. Lu Yinxi woke up, her vision still blurry and she looked like she had not woken up.
