Hearing the words "little child," Xiao Yi's mind involuntarily flashed to the news report he'd seen yesterday morning about child trafficking gangs brazenly committing crimes. His feet paused involuntarily, and he turned to look in the direction from which the voice had come.
Turning his head, he saw a simply dressed middle-aged woman, about forty years old, holding a young boy with an innocent face and rolling eyes that were exceedingly lively and cute. She quickly turned into an alley ahead.
Xiao Yi noticed the large piece of candy in the little boy's mouth, and the glimmer of confusion in his eyes. His mind stirred, and he changed direction, slowly following the middle-aged woman as if with absentminded interest.
"Mommy, I want my mommy!"
Having just turned into an alley, the little boy seemed to realize something was wrong. He was getting farther and farther away from his mother, could no longer see her, and started to struggle in the woman's arms.
Indeed!
