Chapter 12 Rain Omen
I drove on the dark avenue for a long time. I had already gone to the apartment complex just now, but I didn't find Xueqi there, so this time I turned around and went all the way to the one-way street to find Xueqi.
Usually in the evening, there are a lot of vehicles on the one-way street, but after the rush hour there are less, and now it is already more than 7 o'clock, and I don't need to encounter any traffic jams on the road.
The road was very smooth, but I didn't drive very fast, because I had to look left and right all the way to see if there was any Xueqi.
On both sides of the one-way street are the walls of some construction sites, with promotional pictures of the cartoon "Luo Baobao" on them, and that cute little girl reminds me of Xueqi when I was a child.
The more anxious I was when I thought of Xueqi, the car drove from beginning to end on the one-way street, but I still couldn't see Xueqi. After getting off the one-way street, I turned to the direction of the city, the downtown commercial street, amusement park, clothing city, Ke Sha Mill and other shops are all I and Xue Qi frequented, I think Xue Qi may go to those places she is more familiar with, so I follow the roads that I usually go to, hoping to see Xue Qi's crying lonely figure on the road.
However, I traveled all the way to countless familiar areas, but I still didn't find Xueqi.
On the way, I got out of the car and asked the owners of a few cold drink shops that Xue Qi likes to go to, asking them if they had ever seen Xue Qi, but they all answered me with shaking their heads and looking full of doubts.
At that time, I was really anxious.
I patted my thigh hard, it had been almost two hours since Xue Qi disappeared, but I still hadn't found any trace of Xue Qi.
At this point, I really regret it, when I reprimanded Xue Qi before, my temper was indeed a little big. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything that heavy, and it might have been better to say something softer.
But now, it's too late to say anything, and it's impossible for me to take back the water that I spilled out of what I said.
The only thing I can do now is to retrieve Xue Qi first.
In the end, I almost circled the city center three times, but I still didn't see Xueqi.
Damn it. Where the hell did you go?!!
As time went on, my heart was really bleeding.
I looked at the time, and before I knew it, it was already half past 10, and Xue Qi had been away from home for more than 4 hours!
But I still haven't heard from her!
At the door of the Walmart supermarket, I stopped the car, because of nervous tension and psychological exhaustion, I felt a little dizzy in my head, and even wanted to vomit, I lay on the driving wheel for a while, at this time, my mobile phone suddenly rang, I heard the sound of the mobile phone, I thought I grabbed a life-saving straw and took it out.
When I saw Yuhui's number on the phone screen, my heart beat faster.
Yuhui called, could it be ...... Xue Qi went to Yuhui's house?
I couldn't wait to press the answer button.
"Hey, Yuhui?"
"Did you find it?" Yuhui's faint voice floated from the other end of the phone, and the first sentence extinguished my hope. It seems that Xue Qi did not go to Yuhui's house.
I was deflated and felt a sense of loss.
"Nope. I replied to Yuhui in a tired voice. To be honest, I was really tired, I searched for three hours, and I ran all the places I could, but I couldn't find Xueqi. "I've been looking for more than three hours, and I've searched all the people Xue Qi knows, as well as shops, jewelry stores, etc., but I still haven't found her. Alas. ”
Xue Qi, as if the world had evaporated, was never heard from again.
"Yes. Yuhui's clear voice calmed my mood a little, "Where's the school?"
"Learn ...... School?!" Yuhui's words woke me up like a hammer. yes, how did I forget about school?
"I haven't looked for this. I'm going to look for it. Thanks for the reminder. "Being reminded by Yuhui like this, my whole heart was agitated.
"It's fine. Yuhui said lightly, "I hope to find it." Then she hung up.
After hanging up the phone, I started the car again without thinking.
However, there was no response when I stepped on the accelerator.
What's the situation?
I pedaled hard a few more times, but the car didn't move except for the thud sound.
That's when I realized that the car had stalled.
Meow, what kind of broken car, if you don't turn off the engine early or at night, you just choose to turn off the engine at this time.
I almost got annoyed and smashed the steering wheel with a punch.
I tried a few more times, but it still didn't start, and I had no choice, so I had to put on my coat and get out of the car. Fortunately, the place where I parked was not too far from Xueqi's school, although there were not many taxis, but even if I ran there, I could still get there in 20 minutes.
I got out of the car and ran straight in the direction of Xueqi's foreign Chinese language school. It was past 10 o'clock, the night was already deep, the city was brightly lit, and the bright light in the shop windows on both sides of the road made me a little dizzy.
I snorted and ran down the sidewalk, past street lamps and street trees.
On the way, I met many elderly people and family members with children who came out for a walk, and they looked at me with surprised eyes when they saw me running away in a panic, and some even looked at me with a bad face, and retreated, thinking that I was a robber who had robbed money and fled or something.
I didn't have time to look at the faces of passers-by, just looking for Xueqi's figure along the way, and when I passed a square, I slowed down, because there were a lot of people in the square, among them there were several skating students, both men and women, and I was looking for Xueqi's figure inside. I saw two or three girls with long hair and long sleeves in white cotton silk, looking at their backs that looked like Xueqi. But when I slowly approached and saw them in front of me, I was disappointed. What I saw were unfamiliar faces, and they were much inferior to Xue Qi's.
I left disappointed and ran back towards Xueqi's school.
Xueqi's school doesn't start evening self-study until the second half of junior high school, and because it's late, the evening self-study has already ended.
When I ran to Xueqi's school, the school buildings were pitch black, and only a few dormitory buildings were still lit with a little light, like the eyes of a thirsty sleeper.
At that time, I was already sweating profusely after running for nearly half an hour, I took off my coat and held it in my hand, hoping to dissipate heat, but because the temperature was very low that night, and the cold wind gusted, I took off my coat for a while, and I felt cold all over my body, and I was constantly struggling, so I quickly put on my coat again.
I'm a big man who is cold like this. I really can't imagine what kind of situation Xue Qi will be in now.
Will she go home because it's too cold?
My words had hurt her so much that I told her to leave the house, and she ...... Will it be back?
I don't know the bottom of my heart.
I walked to the communication room, fortunately the doorman had not slept yet, I stepped forward and asked him from the window, I asked him, master, have you ever seen a girl with long hair and white long sleeves running in?
The doorman asked me, when.
I said, I don't know much about this, maybe in two or three hours.
The doorman squinted at me and said in a rough voice, are you kidding, there are so many people coming in and out of the evening self-study class, and girls with long hair and white sleeves are everywhere, how can I remember?
I said, "It's a pretty girl, and she's cried."
The doorman sneered and said, there are more beautiful girls, how do I know. What is your origin, you are still asking around the little girl so late.
I looked panicked and said, "Master, my daughter ran away from home, I can't find her, I think she may have come to school, you let me go in and have a look." ”
"Oh, run away from home, what's wrong with the kid?"
"Don't ask so much, let me go in and have a look!"
He squinted at me outside the door and said, "No, no, it's closed, I'm going to rest, you better come back tomorrow." How can a child run away from home and run away to school? I think you have some purpose, right?"
The attitude of the doorman annoyed me, but I couldn't help it.
I had no choice but to put on a smiling face, took out 100 yuan from my jacket pocket and stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Master, I'm really looking for my daughter, I've looked for everything else, and only the school is left, so let me go in and have a look!"
Seeing that I gave him 100 quick money, the doorman's eyebrows really loosened a little, he hesitated, but still grabbed the money, opened the door, and said to me: "Come in and find it, come out early!"
"I'm sorry for you, master!"
I said with a smile on my face, but when I turned my head, my face was gloomy.
I ran towards the classroom where Xue Qi was classing, and I didn't have long since I arrived.
But what disappointed me was that the classroom was pitch black, and the doors and windows were closed, how could there be Xueqi?
I was so naïve.
Seemingly...... Xue Qi was also not in school.
I reluctantly came to this conclusion. In the end, I had to leave the school and start looking for Xueqi again.
Not long after leaving the school gate, Xueqi's homeroom teacher called me and asked me if Xueqi had arrived home. I said no. Teacher Xing told me that he had asked a few classmates in the class who had a good relationship with Xue Qi, but Xue Qi was not at their house.
I hesitated for a moment and asked, did Xu Bin's family ask.
asked, but Xueqi didn't go. Teacher Xing said that he had asked, and the first thing he called was Xu Bin's phone, but Xue Qi was not there.
After listening to the criminal teacher's report, I clenched my fists.
Not at Yuhui's house, not at the same school, not on the streets...... It's weird, where will Xue Qi be?
After hanging up the phone of the criminal teacher, I set out on the road to find Xueqi alone again.
After walking for a while, Ma Yike called me again and asked me if Xue Qi had been found, and she had not moved.
I told Ma Yike that I hadn't found Xueqi yet, and that it was so late that I really didn't know where she had gone. If something happens, it's really troublesome.
Ma Yike is also very worried about Xueqi's safety and worried. She said she might as well come and look for it. I said forget it, you better wait at home, you have children to take care of, and you have classes tomorrow, so don't worry too much.
I'll look for it again, a big living person, I can always find it.
Contact me in the case.
With that, I hung up.
After hanging up the phone, I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead, then clenched my fist, and finally, I still let go.
I looked up, looked at the sparse cold stars overhead, and let out a long sigh.
The hot breath condensed into white mist in the cold air, but the anxiety in my heart grew stronger.
Xueqi, where the hell are you?
