Christmas Bonus Chapter
Whose child?
While Mi Yan was being confused, the two police uncles who had been following Little Turtle came over in time.
When the little turtle saw that the two humans who had been following her were approaching her again, she shrank back nervously and hid behind Mi Yan with her turtle shell.
“Are you the father of this child?” The police uncle asked speculatively when he saw that the little girl, who had ignored everyone all the way, had such trust in Mi Yan.
“No.” Mi Yan shook his head and added, “I don’t know this child.”
“You don’t know her?” The two police uncles looked at each other in surprise, and then said, “I think this child is very close to you. I thought you were relatives.”
“No.” Mi Yan shook his head again. In fact, he was also very confused. He had never been very popular with children. His own younger brother and sister used to cry when they saw him when they were young. Even now when they had grown up, they didn’t seem to want to stay with him.
While Mi Yan answered the policeman’s questions, the little turtle held on to his trouser legs, carefully stuck out half of her head, and looked warily at the policemen opposite, looking like a pitiful little child who was afraid of being abducted.
The police uncle suddenly felt a little sad. They had been policemen for so many years, but they had never seen a child be so defensive towards them before. Didn’t this child’s parents share with their children the knowledge of calling the police if they had any difficulties, or sing a song about giving even a penny to the police uncle?
“Ahem, sir, this is a child who has been separated from her parents. We have been following her for a long time, but she doesn’t speak or follow us. I think she trusts you, so why don’t you help us ask this child, ask her where her parents are and if she has a phone number or something.” Seeing that the little girl trusted Mi Yan so much, the police uncle thought that if Mi Yan went forward to ask, she might answer something.
Mi Yan lowered his head and glanced at the little child who was no taller than his thigh. The little child was also looking up at him, her big dark eyes making his heart tremble. Yes, he was usually unsmiling and serious, but who could resist such a cute child? Especially when the other person was well-behaved and not making a fuss.
“Okay, let me ask.” Mi Yan nodded, squatted down so that his eyes were level with the little girl, and then said, “I’m going to ask you a few questions, can you answer them obediently?”
The little turtle nodded obediently.
So good!
The police uncle felt uncomfortable again. Why didn’t you respond when we asked you just now? We were still smiling at that time. We were not as serious as this gentleman at all, who was acting like a boss talking to his subordinates.
“Do you remember your parents’ phone numbers?” Mi Yan asked.
The little turtle shook her head, and then seemed to feel that her answer was inaccurate, so she added: “I don’t have a father or a mother.”
This was the first time that everyone heard the little girl speak. The little girl’s voice was very soft, and she spoke in a soft voice. The speed was also very slow, giving people a soft and gentle feeling, but the content of it made those who heard it feel heartbroken.
No parents, an orphan?
“Is there anyone else in your family?” Mi Yan asked again, and at the same time, his voice unconsciously softened a lot.
“Grandpa great, great, great.” The little turtle said three times in a row. She had a good memory and would never say one more or one less great.
Great Grandpa? If it was a great-great-great-grandpa, even if every generation in his family had children at the age of eighteen, it would be difficult for the great-great-great-grandpa to have survived until now.
“Then do you have his contact information?” Mi Yan asked.
“Yes.” The little turtle nodded heavily.
Everyone was overjoyed that they finally found a way to contact the child’s parents.
“Can you please give me your great grandpa’s contact information? I will help you contact your great grandpa.” Mi Yan said immediately.
The little turtle blinked twice, then put her hand into the turtle shell behind her, rummaged around for a while, and finally slowly took out a conch in the expectant eyes of everyone. The conch was not big, only the size of a small turtle’s palm, but its shape was exquisite and very beautiful. The little turtle handed the conch to Mi Yan and corrected him: “It’s Great-Great- Great Grandpa. This is the conch given to me by Great-Great-Great Grandpa. You can talk into it and you can find Great-Great-Great Grandpa.” The little turtle said it extremely seriously.
“…” Everyone was speechless for a while. As expected of a child, she was still living in a fairy tale world.
Mi Yan stared at the small conch for a long time but found no trace of a phone number. Finally, he could only take it against his will, but did not speak into the conch, instead he continued to ask: “Is there any other contact information? Like a phone number or something?”
The little turtle shook her head slowly.
Mi Yan frowned. Just when he didn’t know what to ask next, the policeman reminded him: “Sir, you can ask her where she is from, where she came from, and where she got separated from her family. We can go back and check the surveillance and household registration address.”
Mi Yan nodded and continued to ask: “Kid, where is your home?”
“East China Sea.” The little turtle replied.
East China Sea? Donghai City? The police uncle quickly took out his notebook and wrote it down.
“What’s your name?” Mi Yan asked.
“Little turtle,” the little turtle replied.
“Do you have a name? What’s your surname? What’s your great grandpa’s name?”
“Little turtle, great grandpa is the old turtle.”
“…” Everyone was speechless again, and even if they asked, they couldn’t ask. Moreover, what kind of strange name was this? Did anyone like to name themselves turtle?
“Little Turtle, how did you get here and who did you come with?” Mi Yan asked patiently,
“I swam here from the sea, and then secretly got into a big car.” The little turtle explained clearly.
Yes, it turned out that the child secretly climbed into someone else’s car and was accidentally transported to Cannes. But if you know where the other person came from, it would be easier to find her family.
“Sir, ask her if she still remembers where she got off the car?” the police uncle reminded.
Mi Yan immediately repeated what the police said.
The little turtle had a good memory. She immediately nodded to show that she remembered: “A seafood restaurant, right in front.”
That’s right, our little turtle swam up from the sea, climbed into a seafood truck and came to Cannes city. She was very clever and changed back to her original form, hiding in a water tank with a group of seafood.
The police officer felt that he now knew almost everything. There were not many seafood restaurants on this road, so he would definitely be able to find out if he asked around later. Then they said to Mi Yan: “Sir, please explain to her that we are not bad people and ask her to go back to the police station with us.”
Mi Yan nodded and said to the little girl: “Little turtle, these two are police uncles. They are good people. They will help you find your great grandpa. Can you go back with them first?”
Little turtle was stunned.? She looked at this beautiful member of the same race in disbelief. She actually wanted to give it to a human: “Don’t you want me?”
“…” Mi Yan suddenly felt guilty, as if he was abandoning a child like an unscrupulous father, but the problem was that he didn’t recognize this girl at all. “Listen to me, uncle is very busy and has no time to take care of you. You go with the police uncle and they will take care of you.”
The little turtle lowered her head, she heard that this compatriot did not intend to take her away and wanted to hand her over to the police. Thinking of this, the little turtle took a step back smartly. Just when Mi Yan thought he had persuaded the little girl, the little girl suddenly fell to the ground, then quickly retracted her limbs and retracted into the turtle shell.
The movements were smooth and neat, and the passers-by were stunned and couldn’t help but applaud.
This performance was absolutely 100%.
