8. Chapter 8 The Son of the Devil
After lunch, Lao Li Tou was not in a hurry to take the winter cub home, he first took the winter cub to the hospital in the town, waited until the doctor went to work, saw the doctor, bought good medicine according to the doctor's prescription, and also bought some anti-inflammatory and cough medicine for his grandmother according to the doctor's advice.
When I came out of the hospital, it was already past two o'clock.
Lao Li Tou came to the only bookstore in the town with the winter cub in his arms, and Lao Li Tou didn't know much about reading, so he asked the bookstore owner to help pick out a few books suitable for children. The boss picked a few graphic enlightenment books that parents of young children often buy, and he saw that Lao Li was quite willing to spend money on his children, so he sold a small Xinhua dictionary. Lao Li didn't hesitate much, so he paid for all the books recommended by the boss.
I bought the book, the time was still early, the sun was scorching badly outside, the weather was very hot, and when I went home at this time, I was afraid that the 'Bodhisattva' had not left. Lao Li was cheeky, asked the boss for two stools, sat in the store with the winter cub, and waited for the sun to be a little cloudy before leaving.
The winter cub has the habit of taking a nap, and not long after sitting down, he fell asleep leaning on Lao Li's head.
The weather was hot, when I was eating in the restaurant before, Lao Li Tou poured a lot of free tea, and just now I asked for a glass of water in the hospital to take medicine.
"Boss, do you have a toilet here?" Old Li Tou asked the winter cub to lie on the stool, and he got up and asked.
The bookstore owner flipped through the comic book in his hand without raising his head and said: "Turn left when you go out, there is a fork in the road ahead, turn right at the intersection, and a public toilet has just been built." ”
Lao Li Tou didn't go to the town many times, and if he needed anything on weekdays, he asked Li Kangjian or other people in the village to help him, and he really didn't know when the town had built such a public toilet.
He saw that the winter cub was sleeping soundly, and the sun outside was very big, and he couldn't bear to wake him up, so he said to the boss: "Then you help me watch some children, I'll go and relieve my hands, and I'll come over in a while." ”
The boss quickly browsed through the comic book and said casually: "Okay, you hurry up, otherwise the child will make trouble, and I will have nothing to do with him." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll be here in a moment."
As soon as Lao Li left, a group of half-grown junior high school students came into the bookstore, and at this time, the school in the town was already on vacation, and some children would go to the bookstore to read novels and comics. Just looking at it, some children don't like to be clean, and they make the new books in the bookstore dirty and can't sell them. Some children have unclean hands and feet, and if they are not careful, they will stuff books into their clothes and bags.
The group of children who just came in belong to the latter, and they have been caught by the bookstore owner a few times, but this group of people is very thick-skinned, and they have scolded and even found their parents, but it is useless, and they will come the same next time, and they will be fierce, and they will also engage in deliberate destruction, like a group of small plague gods. As soon as they entered, the bookstore owner immediately put down the comic book and stared at them with all his heart.
Before he could send these plague gods away, Lao Li Tou came back.
"Boss, where's my son?" When I walked into the store and didn't see the winter cub, Lao Li's heart was half cold.
"Not at the door...... Is it? The boss turned around, and there were only two empty stools at the door, and the child was long gone.
Lao Li Tou panicked all of a sudden, and muttered in his mouth: "The winter cub is the most well-behaved, he won't run around, he won't run around......"
The owner of the bookstore also knew that the matter was big, but he was still calm, "Uncle, don't panic first, the child is still here, he is definitely not far away, I will immediately ask someone to look for it nearby, and I will definitely be able to find someone." Turning his head, he said to a few junior high school students, "Don't look at it yet, let's look for the kid at the door just now, the person has found it, and I will give you a copy of Conan." ”
The junior high school student bargained: "Who is rare about your broken pirated books, we will help you find someone on such a hot day, you have to invite us to eat ice cream." ”
"Don't play tricks on me, hurry up and find someone first, ice cream is indispensable for you!"
coincided with the market, there were many more people in the town than usual, and the bookstore owner was afraid that those little children would not be reliable, so he asked his family and neighbors to help Lao Li Tou find the winter cubs together.
When the winter cub 'woke up', he found himself standing in a completely unfamiliar place, many people gathered around a big black log, some were talking, some were crying, and it was very noisy. The winter cub stood blankly in the corner, no one noticed him at all, and when he lowered his head, he found that he had an extra white hard ...... in his hand Little sticks? There were a few white crooked ones on the ground that seemed to have been drawn with sticks.
The little girl stood in front of the winter cub at some point, the blood stains on her face and body were all gone, the messy hair turned into neat braids, and the dress that was stained black and red by blood turned back to clean and white, she nervously grabbed the hem of the skirt, her eyes flashed, and she said to the winter cub with some trepidation: "Thank you for helping me go home." ”
Winter Cub: ......
I heard every word clearly, but I didn't know what it meant.
The little girl didn't really know what was going on, she wanted to go home so much, and after Lao Li Tou left, she wanted to wake up the winter cub and let the winter cub send her home. She knew that the winter cub was not afraid of the sun, and she also knew the way home from the bookstore, so she didn't think about it, so she ran home with the body of the winter cub. When she got home, she saw herself lying in the coffin, and she vaguely knew that she probably wouldn't survive, so she took advantage of the fact that she was still in the body of the winter cub and wrote down the license plate number of the car that hit her with chalk.
The world of the little ones is simple, and in their black-and-white conceptions, the bad guys must be punished.
After the little girl wrote the license plate number, she wanted to talk to her parents, but the winter cub woke up, and she was 'squeezed' out of the winter cub's body.
The winter cub still remembers that he was sleeping on his father's stomach just now, and when he woke up, everything around him had changed, and his father didn't know where he had gone, his little head was drooping, his fingers were hooked, and he didn't know what to do at all.
"Don't worry, your father will definitely come to you......" Before the little girl could finish speaking, a familiar voice came from outside.
"Winter Cub...... Winter Cub ...... Sister, have you ever seen a child, so tall, very thin, wearing a yellow cotton coat......
When the winter cub heard Lao Litou's voice, he pulled his legs and ran outside, the speed was unprecedentedly fast, and he plunged into Lao Litou's arms like a small cannonball.
"Winter cub!" Lao Li Tou was surprised and delighted, picked up the little guy, looked up and down, and made sure that he was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a wave of fear in his heart, and couldn't help but gently pat the winter cub's buttocks twice, "You kid, why are you so disobedient!" It's not for you to ......" Lao Li Tou was stuck all of a sudden, and he remembered that when he left just now, he didn't tell the winter cub to stay obediently and don't run around. Perhaps, he walked on the front foot, and the winter cub woke up on the back foot, and did not see anyone else, so he ran outside to look for him.
The more Lao Li Tou made up for it, the more he felt that this was the case.
Looking at the faint grievances on the beautiful little face of the winter cub, where can the words of blame be spoken, touching the stupid watermelon Taro head of the winter cub, and saying seriously: "You are not allowed to run around in the future, you know?" ”
The winter cub looked at Lao Li Tou ignorantly, Lao Li Tou repeated it two or three times, and the little guy nodded dumbly, and he didn't know how much he understood.
At this time, the people who helped Lao Li Tou find the winter cub also gathered, and everyone was relieved to see that Lao Li Tou found the child. The sharp-eyed man saw the other side of the road, where the winter cub ran out just now, and said quickly: "Why did your son run to their house?" Their daughter was hit by a car last night and disappeared on the spot. The girl is smart and sensible, only five or six years old, poor ......"
"It's not that Lao Yan played cards wrongly! The swallow fainted from crying. ”
"I wonder if the hitter has been found?"
"Find? Where can I find it? ”
"How many cars are there in our town? I'm sure I'll find it! ”
The residents of these towns were discussing with each other, and Lao Li Tou only felt a buzz in his head, and the hand holding the winter cub couldn't help but tighten. He calmed down, thanked everyone, and bought some popsicles to entertain everyone, and then carried the winter cub far around the family, went to the vegetable market in the town, cut some meat, bought two catties of apples, bought some snacks that children like, and finally weighed two catties of chicken cakes for the winter cub.
He took the winter cub and carried a full load, found a motorcycle in the town that specially carried people, negotiated the price, and hitchhiked back to Lijia Village.
Lao Li Tou who left didn't know that not long after he left with the winter cub, someone saw the license plate number on the ground. The people of the Yan family immediately called the police, and after a simple investigation, the police quickly locked up the suspect.
It was Lao Li Tou who found a lot of connections to get through the door, and the person who went through the formalities for him this morning.
As soon as the police came to the door and asked a few words, he couldn't hold back at all and confessed to his crime, and the police immediately arrested him and took him to the county seat for further investigation and interrogation.
The matter can be regarded as clear at this point, but who left important clues in the Yan family has become an unsolved case.
The handwriting left by the chalk is crooked, and many people believe that the eyewitnesses deliberately wrote ugly and concealed their identities for fear of retaliation by the perpetrator's family. But the family members of the deceased Yan Mengyu insisted that the words on the ground were written by Yan Mengyu, and they also took out the textbooks of Yan Mengyu's kindergarten for everyone to see, and the handwriting was almost identical.
For a while, there were different opinions in the town......
When the old Li Tou returned to the village, it was already a little late, and as soon as he took the winter cub off the motorcycle, Li Kangjian walked down the mountain sweatingly, and said anxiously: "Uncle, you can be counted back, something is wrong!" ”
