In Wuhan, in July, the weather is like a stew stove.

Bubu's daughter Pudding is on summer vacation.

In February, my father went to Xinjiang for a trip. Although my mother kept hiding his situation, Pudding vaguely felt that something might have happened to him.

In April, my mother also went to Xinjiang.

Pudding didn't know that her mother went to Lop Nur to find her father. She even thought that her father was dead and her mother went to deal with the funeral.

Before her mother set off, Pudding had nightmares at boarding school every night. Once she dreamed that her father was lying in the desert, she was dried up, very thin and had no human form. Her mother lay on him and cried loudly. Soon, her mother was almost dried up, just like a melting candle, her body was changing shape quickly...

Pudding stood behind her mother. She was almost anxious and shouted: Mom, run with me!

However, my mother cried very sadly, and she could not pull her out of her grief.

In this way, mom lay down next to dad...

Pudding woke up from crying.

Usually, Pudding is taciturn and rarely drags down her mother. This time she is going to Xinjiang, but she doesn't stop her. But she has a fever.

The school called Bubu, and she rushed to the school, picked up the pudding, and sent it to the hospital.

Bubu stayed with Pudding for two days, and finally his fever subsided. Pudding returned to boarding school. Bubu went to Xinjiang.

In a blink of an eye, my mother has been away for more than two months, and the phone cannot be reached, whether it is my father or mother.

The boarding school was on summer vacation on July 1, and grandparents took the pudding home. In addition to grandparents, they also had a uncle. He had just fallen in love and no one was seen every day.

In fact, Pudding is in love too. Her boyfriend's name is Lao Xiu, who is 14 years old and is also in a boarding school, but he is a different class from Pudding.

Grandpa and grandma didn't talk much about their parents to Pudding. Whenever Pudding asked, they just said: Come back soon. At night, they whispered in the bedroom, as if they had something to say on their backs, and occasionally they could hear sighs.

They all retired and guarded the pudding every day. Except for watching TV occasionally, they spent most of their time picking, washing and cooking.

Pudding has a bad appetite.

She is planning a big event - to go to Xinjiang to find her parents.

That afternoon, Puding sent a WeChat message to Lao Fu in his room.

Pudding: I want to go to Xinjiang.

Lao Xiu: Who are you going with?

Pudding: I myself. I don’t know what’s wrong with my parents, I’m going to find them.

Lao Xiu: Do you have money?

Pudding: Yes, my grandparents won’t let me go.

Lao Xiu: Then don’t go, it’s too dangerous. Let’s go to Hankou to have fun!

Pudding: Can you go to Xinjiang with me?

Lao Xiu: I don’t have that much money.

Pudding: I have. Can you go out?

Lao Xiu: It is definitely not possible to leave Wuhan, but there is no problem leaving home.

Pudding: That's great, come to my house first, we will make peace with you.

Lao Xiu: Let's leave today?

Pudding: Let's go today!

As expected, Lao Xiu took the bus to Puding's grandparents' community.

Pudding was on the third floor. She stood in front of the window, dared not speak, and waved to Lao Xiu hard.

Lao Xiu ran over, stood on the lawn, and looked up.

Pudding threw down a large backpack and almost hit Lao Xiu's head. Lao Xiu ran away with his head, and the backpack fell on the lawn with a "boom". Lao Xiu quickly picked it up and returned to the corridor.

Pudding's uncle happened to drive back, and he rolled down the window and shouted, "What are you doing!"

Pudding hurriedly hid in the window.

Lao Xiu didn't know Pudding's uncle, he glanced at him without caring, and then walked away.

Pudding's uncle poked his head out of the car window, looked at Lao Xiu's back, then looked upstairs, and finally drove away.

Pudding is going downstairs.

Grandpa said, "Pudding, where are you going?"

Pudding said, “I’ll go buy some snacks.”

Grandpa said, "Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

Puding said: "No, I'll go to the convenience store at the entrance of the community and come back soon."

Grandpa said: "Then you have to cross the lane!"

Pudding said: "Grandpa! I'm all a middle school student, can't even pass a lane?"

Grandpa said: "Anyway, grandpa is fine."

Pudding was anxious and angry: "If you have nothing to do, just follow me?"

Grandma poked her head out of the kitchen: "Baby Pudding, what are you going to do? Can grandma go with you?"

Pudding said, "You two go, I won't go!"

After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room.

Grandma walked in and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, go and go back quickly, be careful."

Pudding said, "I understand!"

After saying that, she ran out of the house and went downstairs "thump" to the ground.

Walking out of the building, Puding saw that his uncle had just parked the car and was walking towards the building door.

She quickly dodged and hid behind the bushes next to her. When her uncle entered the building gate, she came out and ran towards the community gate.

Lao Xiu was waiting for her at the gate of the community.

He saw the pudding coming and asked curiously: "What is your backpack in it!"

Pudding said: "A quilt."

Lao Xiu opened his backpack and it was indeed full of quilts stuffed inside.

He said, "What are you doing with a quilt?"

Puding said: "I heard that the temperature difference in Xinjiang is large."

Lao Xiu said: "Will we also experience survival in the wild?"

"Who knows what will happen," Pudding said.

Lao Xiu took out another exquisite wallet and opened it. There was a stack of brand new RMB inside. He said, "I didn't expect that my girlfriend is a big shot!"

Pudding said, "Stop being poor, hurry up and buy a train ticket."

Lao Xiu said: "I have to buy a box of Haagen-Dazs to satisfy my cravings."

Pudding said: "So shameless!"

Lao Xiu and Puding took the bus and headed to the train station.

Pudding said: "Your parents must be looking for you, you turned off your phone."

Lao Xiu said: "Yes."

Then, he quickly took out his cell phone and turned it off.

The two children were leaving Wuhan and going to the far northwest. Lao Xiu was not afraid, but he was very excited.

He asked Pudding: "Have you turned off your phone?"

Pudding said, "It's closed."

Lao Xiu said: "Do we send a text message to our family telling them that we have gone to Xinjiang and then turn off the phone? Otherwise, they would not be anxious to death if we were missing!"

Pudding said: "You are stupid, tell them now, they will definitely come to the train station to catch us."

Lao Xiu said: "That's right."

Pudding said: "Tell them when you get on the train."

The two children arrived at the train station. It was already past 7 pm. There were many people in the ticket hall and there were long queues.

Lao Xiu and Pudding lined up for a while and found that many people took out their ID cards and were waiting to buy tickets.

Lao Xiu said to Pudding: "You need an ID card to buy a train ticket, what should I do?"

Pudding was also stunned.

Lao Xiu said, "Why don't we go back?"

Pudding gave him a blank look and said, "Do you regret it?"
