It wasn't until the evening of the second day that a train attendant noticed something amiss. Though the train was crowded, the attendant's sharp eye caught that the little girl seemed to be alone. She was taken to the staff room.
Xing'er refused to say which station she had boarded at, only stating that she was going to the capital to find her parents. With just over a day left until they reached the capital, the staff decided it was best to continue the journey rather than leave her at an unfamiliar station.
The little girl, only eight years old, didn't remember her mother's family address clearly, only three words: Xinghua Lane.
Her mother had been born in Xinghua Lane, which was why she was named Xing'er.
Truth be told, finding someone with just a single place name like that would have been nearly impossible. But fortunately, it was Xinghua Lane and not some other obscure location.
