Chapter 61: Eternal Scars (2)
At noon, my mother-in-law ate at my side, and she also cooked the meal, and Yangyang and I also had a delicious meal. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Tao has not answered the phone, as the wife who knows him best, I guess he must be thirsty for wine with others in the restaurant, and the noise in the restaurant and his brain confusion after drinking caused him to not hear the mobile phone ringtone. Nine times out of ten, this is the case. And the mother-in-law was very worried and had to call Lu Hai to go out to find his brother.
"Where are you going to find him?" I said to my mother-in-law.
"How big can Taigu be? There are few restaurants, so it's hard to find?" my mother-in-law gave me a blank look, expressing her dissatisfaction with my indifferent attitude.
In fact, I am not indifferent to Lu Tao, but I just judged that he should be fine, and I don't want Lu Hai to run all over the streets at noon to find his brother. Besides, Lu Hai doesn't necessarily want to accept this task. However, the mother-son relationship is deep, and I also understand my mother-in-law's worries about her son.
As I expected, after my mother-in-law called her, she was immediately rejected by Lu Hai. Lu Hai said: "He's such a big person, it's going to be fine, and besides, I'm busy and can't spare time." ”
"If he doesn't call back in another two hours, I'll go out and look for him. I comforted my mother-in-law.
"In two hours, what if the danger is in these two hours?" said the mother-in-law restlessly.
"He's often like this, and when he's drunk, he doesn't know how to call home. I said.
"Then you take care of him, don't keep him drinking. My mother-in-law said to me.
"Can I control your son? When did he listen to me?" I also had a hint of dissatisfaction in my tone, my mother-in-law is like this, she only thinks about his son, regardless of other people's feelings, I have always been unhappy that Yang Yang couldn't contact Lu Tao after she was injured, and she is still nagging in front of me, which is really annoying.
My mother-in-law saw that I was not happy, so she didn't say anything, Yangyang became like this, she was embarrassed to argue with me more.
I didn't send Yangyang to school in the afternoon, I was going to let him recuperate at home for half a day, and let him go to school tomorrow when his eyes were swollen.
Lu Tao didn't hear from him until five o'clock in the afternoon, and he didn't answer any of the dozens of phone calls he called, and when he called his unit, his colleagues in the unit said that they couldn't contact him. No way, I'll have to look for him, it's getting dark. I called a few friends who often drank with him, and one of his comrades-in-arms gave me a clue that Lu Tao was indeed thirsty with them at noon, but they broke up at two o'clock in the afternoon, and he thought Lu Tao had come home.
This made me worry too, and for a moment, my mind seemed to have seen Lu Tao walking crookedly on the street after being drunk, and the endless stream of cars and motorcycles was speeding past him one after another with dust kicked by. It's really dangerous. What should I do? Why don't I go out and look for him? But where do I go to find him? For some reason, I suddenly thought of a person, Liu Jia! Maybe Liu Jia knew that Lu Tao was there. Although I have not had any evidence to prove that Liu Jia and Lu Tao have any improper relationship for a long time, and Liu Jia has also expressed in front of me that she does not want to marry again, I can be sure that Lu Tao has a good impression of Liu Jia. The contact between the two of them is also frequent, although it has always been an excuse for work. So my intuition told me that I might as well give Liu Jia a call. But after thinking about it again, what did she say on the phone? Just ask Liu Jia if Lu Tao was there with her? Or ask her if she knows if Lu Tao has gone there? And how will Liu Jia answer? If Liu Jia doesn't know Lu Tao's traces, then this phone call is also in vain, and if Liu Jia knows that Lu Tao is there, Liu Jia can only say that she doesn't know, otherwise she is not asking for trouble? All in all, Liu Jia's answer is only one: I don't know!
Forget it, I'd better look on the street first, once Lu Tao got drunk and went to a mahjong parlor on West Street to play mahjong with people, until he lost all the money, the owner of the mahjong parlor called me with his mobile phone, and asked me to pick up people and pay the bill. Lu Tao rarely plays mahjong, but he may want to play after drinking. So my first stop was at the mahjong parlor on West Street.
Yangyang was already asleep, so I asked my mother-in-law to look at Yangyang and went downstairs to ride out of the community. But as soon as I walked a short distance, I saw a taxi parked on the side of the road, and a figure that seemed to be Liu Jia was talking to the driver.
"Liu Jia, what are you doing?" I stepped forward to say hello.
Liu Jia suddenly saw me appear in front of her, a trace of surprise quickly flashed across her face, and then a little panic, but she quickly covered up the panic just now with a smile she squeezed out, and she replied with a very unnatural expression:
"I'm going to work. ”
"You go this way to work, aren't you far from this side? You don't ride a bicycle at work, do you start taking a taxi?" I think it's very strange, Liu Jia shouldn't go this way to work, going this way to go to work is tantamount to going the other way, besides, she has always been riding a bicycle to work like me, how did she get a taxi today?
At this moment, the taxi driver poked his head out, pointed in the direction of our community and said to Liu Jia, "Do you mean to send him to this community?"
"Yes, yes, it's this community, hurry up and send it to the master, drive away!" Liu Jia waved his hand to the taxi driver, urging the driver to drive, as if he was in a hurry.
I didn't quite understand the conversation between her and the driver, I thought she had just gotten out of the car, and now there was a person in the car, and she asked the driver to drop this person to our community. Could it be that this person is a foreigner who doesn't know the way? Or is he a child? But this is none of my business, I just want to ask Liu Jia if he has ever met Lu Tao.
"Liu Jia, did you see Lu Tao? Lu Tao didn't go home at noon. ”
"Lu Tao? this-he-is like this--Actually, I was about to tell you-that-he-"
I don't know why Liu Jia stammered when she spoke, I was confused, and at this moment, the rear window glass of the taxi that had walked out of the road was rolled down, and a head was stretched out from inside, shouting at Liu Jia: "Liu Jia, why don't you come to my house to sit for a while?"
I looked for prestige, and I was completely stunned, wasn't that Lu Tao? Why was he in a taxi? And he was in the same taxi as Liu Jia?
Although he has been separated from Lu Tao for some distance, I can still clearly see that he is in a drunken state when he beckons to Liu Jia and speaks, and he didn't even notice me standing behind Liu Jia in a daze!
Before Liu Jia, who was stunned, could speak, the taxi had already taken Lu Tao to our community, which was only fifty meters away.
"Rain, Swift, I was about to tell you just now, Lu Tao was drunk at noon, but he didn't drink at my place, I swear I never left Lu Tao alone to eat at my house, he drank with his comrades in the restaurant, but he went to my house after he drank too much, and I had no choice but to take a taxi to send him back. ”
I only glanced at Liu Jia's face and then looked away, I didn't want to stare at her, that would make her even more unnatural. I looked at an old man selling marshmallows on the side of the road, and I wondered if I should buy a marshmallow for Yangyang to take home.
"Yuyan, what kind of person am Liu Jia you should know, there is nothing between me and Lu Tao, it is a colleague relationship, because of your relationship, so I am usually more familiar with him than other colleagues, that's all, really. ”
"I have to go back, Yangyang's head is broken. I still didn't look at Liu Jia, muttered to myself, and rode home.
I can see Liu Jia still standing straight in place through the back of my head, but I really don't have time to listen to her explanation now, and I don't have time to question her, Yangyang's head is broken!
When I returned to the community, I saw that Lu Tao was not capable of going upstairs at all, but sat crookedly at the door of the building. Fortunately, he can still find the door of his house, and he has to thank Liu Jia, otherwise he froze to death outside, and people don't know.
I picked up Lu Tao and stumbled to the fourth floor.
"Where did you just go, didn't you go to work? Or did you get off work? It's neither work time nor work time, where did you go?"
I didn't answer Lu Tao's words, and I couldn't talk to a drunk person.
When she returned home, her mother-in-law saw her son like this, stepped forward and slapped him on the shoulder, saying, "Taotao, can't you drink less?"
I helped Lu Tao to the sofa and left it alone, and went to the bedroom to watch Yangyang. Yang Yang had woken up and saw me and said, "Mom, I feel like my eyes can't see clearly. ”
"What, can't see clearly?" Hearing Yang Yang say this, I was scared into a cold sweat! "Mom, Yang Yang can't see things clearly!" I hurriedly shouted to stay in the living room to take care of Lu Tao's mother-in-law.
"What, can't you see clearly?" When the mother-in-law heard this, she immediately ran into the bedroom, and Lu Tao also followed in.
"What should I do, go to the hospital, I have to go to the big hospital, the doctor in the small clinic can't see the doctor at all!" I said to my mother-in-law.
"Okay, then take the child to the hospital immediately, don't delay. My mother-in-law said that she would help me dress Yangyang, and I took 500 yuan from the wardrobe and brought it to my body, filled a thermos bottle of water, and took out Yangyang's down jacket, ready to take Yangyang to the hospital immediately.
"Why did Yangyang's head break? Who beat me? Tell me who beat my son? I'll beat them!" Lu Tao blushed and waved his hands, showing his rare spirit of not being afraid of heaven and earth, and he could only look so fearless when he was drunk.
"Mom, why don't I take Yangyang alone, you can't take care of Lu Tao at home?" I looked at Lu Tao and said to my mother-in-law.
"In this case, I'll call Lu Hai to come and accompany you. The mother-in-law picked up the phone and dialed Lu Hai.
"No need, Lu Hai is busy with work, so it's hard to ask for leave. "I was kind to my mother-in-law, and I didn't stop it much.
In the end, I waited for more than ten minutes, and it wasn't until Lu Hai came over that I picked up Yangyang and followed him downstairs. And Lu Tao and his mother-in-law also followed downstairs, because her mother-in-law couldn't lock his eldest son at home.
After going downstairs, Lu Hai went to the door of the community to call a taxi, and after more than ten minutes, our family had already appeared in the ophthalmology clinic of the People's Hospital.
After examination, Yang Yang's vision has dropped from 1.5 to 0.8, and the doctor said that he must be hospitalized immediately! )
