Chapter 103: The Cat Ran Away
That night, Jiao's father came back very late, and the two old people were also driven back by Jiao's father. Compared with the radiant spirit in the morning, the mental state of the two old people is very bad now, if it weren't for the fact that the second old man was still healthy on weekdays, Zheng Si suspected that he would have fallen directly at this time.
After all, it will not be easy for anyone to have such a thing. Moreover, according to the knowledge of the second elder, it is estimated that he knows very well what will happen to the child when he falls into the hands of traffickers.
This night, many people are doomed to insomnia.
Not only insomnia, but several adults have also been talking about things at night, and at about two o'clock in the morning, there were calls to ask Jiao's father about the situation.
Zheng Si didn't sleep, listened to their conversation outside the room, and also listened to the conversation between the two old men.
In the past, Zheng Si didn't know much about this matter, and he only experienced the way of selling cats, but people are human after all, and they are different from cats.
Since the child disappeared, the child's father also put down his work, contacted some people, printed and distributed a reward announcement, and widely posted it in surrounding provinces and cities. The child's mother was about to be discharged from the hospital, but as soon as she was stimulated, she continued to be hospitalized.
The number of such incidents is increasing every year across the country, and some criminal gangs have also begun to be grouped, with a clear division of labor, and it is difficult for the public security officers and police in one place to detect them. What's more, the information at hand is limited now, and a group of people are powerless.
However, even if you don't have much clue, you still have to find it, and the people who should be contacted have been contacted, and there is more hope for more channels.
At four o'clock in the morning, another phone call.
I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient after the phone runs out of battery. So Jiao's father left his mobile phone and landline numbers for some people.
In the quiet of the night, the sound of the landline phone made people's hearts continue to hang when they had just calmed down a little.
Many people say that no news is good news, at least it can prove that the child is okay, this statement is a bit self-deceptive, just like the current situation, everyone still hopes to have some news. When I heard the phone ringing, my ears were propped up, regardless of the elderly and children.
Jiao's father answered the phone and said a few words, and his face was very bad.
"What's wrong?" The old man came over with his coat on. The steps were a little haste. I almost tripped over a low stool on the ground.
"It's nothing, I'm going to go out of the city." Jiao's father hung up the phone and replied.
"You fart!" Old man Jiao didn't care about the low stool he kicked and walked over. Pointing to Jiao's father, he said, "Although I am old. But I'm not stupid. No Alzheimer's, don't try to fool me! ”
The old man spoke a little loudly and was too emotional. didn't control it well, Jiao's mother and the old lady also came over here.
Jiao's father signaled Jiao's mother to take care of the child, but Jiao's mother hesitated, sighed, and turned to leave.
"Old woman, you go and rest too!" Old man Jiao said to the old lady.
The old man has always felt that when something happens, when there is pressure, a man has to fight, even if the thing he is about to face is cruel, he has to face it, and he can't let a woman bear it.
The old lady also knew the temper of the old man Jiao, even if there was really something, they wouldn't say it now. With red eyes and wiping the corners of her eyes, the old lady moved her little feet and walked to the bedroom.
Zheng Si stood at the door of the room, no one said anything about him anyway, and he happened to be eavesdropping here.
"Tell me, what are they calling?" Old Man Jiao lost the momentum just now, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"I found an abandoned baby at the bridge, let me go and see it." Jiao's father said.
Old man Jiao's hand shook, although he didn't say all this, but the implicit meaning of the old man understood. Since the person who is investigating over there asked Jiao's father to see it, it will definitely not be a baby girl, and in this place, the boy is still very precious, and there is very little such thing as an "abandoned baby". But at this time, he was still at the bridge, and the baby boy estimated ...... The odds of being alive are not high.
"Present...... Go now? Old Man Jiao's voice trembled. Although he is not his own grandson, the relationship between relatives is not bad, and Yao Hong and his wife often give gifts to the old man during the New Year's holidays, and the little kid is also very pleasing to the old man.
"I'm not sure if it's yet, just go check it out. I didn't tell Sister Hong about this. ”
"Okay, I'll go with you." The old man didn't wait for Jiao's father to object, and said, "My old face is still a little useful." ”
After all, he is a native of the local area, and he also knows some people among the older generation, and sometimes, when Old Man Jiao is present, it is still more useful than Jiao's father's words.
Jiao's father and Mr. Jiao went out at four o'clock, and the other people in the family didn't feel sleepy until dawn, when Jiao's mother came back from buying breakfast, Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi sat at the dining table and kept yawning, obviously not sleeping well all night.
Zheng Si's mood was also affected, his appetite was not very good, and it was rare that he didn't finish the breakfast, but Jiao's mother didn't say anything, just sighed.
The old lady wanted to go out for a walk after breakfast, saying that the house was too stuffy.
Jiao's mother is not at ease, she is afraid that the old lady's bad mood will affect her body, and when she is older, there are many problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease, so she should pay more attention, and now this matter makes the old lady obviously look a lot worse, if she accidentally falls outside, it will be a big problem. But there are still two children at home, and Jiao's mother has to watch and can't leave.
After thinking about it, Jiao's mother's eyes were most distracted by Zheng Si, who was walking around the gate.
"Black charcoal, want to get out?" Jiao's mother asked.
Zheng Si flicked his tail, jumped up and pulled the door lock, looked at the open door, walked to the door, and turned to look at Jiao's mother again, with a clear intention.
"Yo, this will really open the door!" The old lady was rarely distracted.
"Yes, I often open the door by myself at home, and I don't know how to open it." Jiao's mother said.
The old lady thought it was just this kind of unlocking the door from inside the house, and didn't think about using the key to open the door. Moreover, there are not many cats that can open the door, but there is, and there is a family around that can pull the door lock, so the old lady did not think that Zheng Si was too strange.
"Mom, let the black charcoal accompany you out, by the way, let it relax, when I was in Chuhua, I often went to the school to wander, and I guess I will be suffocated when I came out this time." Jiao's mother said.
Listen to Jiao's mother's words. The old lady nodded, "This cat doesn't run around, does it?" Do you want to be led with a rope? ”
"No, Black Tan is very obedient." Jiao's mother hurriedly said. He really couldn't bear to put a leash on his cat.
Zheng Si listened to the words of Jiao's mother and the old lady, and pretended to be very well-behaved. He really wanted to go out to breathe, the atmosphere of this night was too heavy, a little depressing, uncomfortable, it was better to go out for a walk.
Seeing the old lady going out, Zheng Si followed and walked next to the old lady. Nor do they run far. The speed is also maintained in the same way as the old lady.
Jiao's mother stood at the door and watched for a while, until the old lady and Zheng Si walked away, and then returned to the house to close the door.
Zheng Si followed the old lady while paying attention to the surrounding scenery. Come here for two days. I haven't had a good look at the terrain here. It is surrounded by private residential areas. Go more than 100 meters. Out of the alley, there is the street outside, and it is more lively there.
This area is not the center of the city, though. However, there is already a sense of building a new area in the surrounding area, the old factory buildings have been torn down, and commercial buildings are ready to be built, and some places have been fenced off, and it is estimated that the construction of houses has begun.
When the old lady walked out of the alley, she suddenly remembered that she was still following a cat, and looked to the side, and saw that the black cat of her son's house had been following closely, and did not run to other places, and was indifferent to some dogs barking at this side, and she was very satisfied. It's no wonder that the son's family spoiled this cat like that, and it was really obedient.
When the old lady is ready to go out of the alley, she walks along the street for a while and goes back. Zheng Si didn't care much, anyway, he wouldn't get lost if he followed the old lady.
As they were walking, when they passed by a commissary, the old lady went over to buy some fruit candy and was going to take it back to Jiao Yuan and them to eat.
"Are you taking the cat out for a walk?" The owner of the commissary looked at the black cat standing at the old lady's feet with some curiosity.
The old lady pulled out a smile, "Yes, my son is from the family, come out for a walk with me." ”
The boss didn't say much, and gave the candy to the old lady and collected money for change.
Carrying the fruit candy, the old lady walked back with Zheng Si again.
Zheng Si was about to keep up and leave, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
A small three-wheeled car slowly drove from the street and stopped on the side of the road, and the driver got out of it and walked to the commissary to buy cigarettes.
This kind of passenger tricycle can be seen in many places in the city, and it is much cheaper than taxis, and many people choose to take this type of car in order to save money.
Zheng Si looked at the driver, he didn't wear sunglasses, and his clothes were different, but Zheng Si just felt that this person was very similar to the motorcycle rider yesterday, and it was completely intuitive.
"Black Tan, let's go, go back." When the old lady saw that the cat had stopped and did not follow, she barked to the other side.
Zheng Si looked back at the old lady, and continued to stare at the little three-wheeled driver who walked back after buying cigarettes, and his eyes were on the gloves that the driver was wearing, the black leather gloves were similar to those of yesterday's motorcycle. When the man stepped on the small three wheels, he shrugged his shoulders, and Zheng Si was even more sure. The person who rode the motorcycle yesterday also shrugged his shoulders sharply before driving, it is estimated that this is a personal habit, anyway, Zheng Si shrugged his shoulders when he didn't see Wei Ling riding a motorcycle.
Seeing that Zheng Si ignored her, the old lady barked twice, only to find that the cat ran away directly.
"Black charcoal! You're back, come back!! The old lady was in a hurry now, and she knew that her son's family was very precious to this cat, and if she lost it, the two children would definitely have to cry when she went back.
Didn't you say that the cat didn't run around? What's going on now?!
Unfortunately, the old lady couldn't do it on her feet, so she stopped panting after trotting two steps, and was still carrying a bag of things in her hand.
The owner of the commissary sat in the shop, watched the black cat run away regardless of the old lady's shouting, shook his head, and whispered: "It's better to take the dog with you for a walk, how can the cat obediently follow you for a walk." ”
Zheng Si kept running forward, the small three-wheeler had already started, but due to the construction in front, there would be some small stones on the road, and the speed of the small three-wheeler was not fast when it drove over.
When the car turned a corner, Zheng Si jumped in through the open window.
The driver only felt that the car vibrated a little, looked in the rearview mirror, found nothing abnormal, attributed the reason to the stones on the road, opened his mouth and scolded "fucking the road", and continued to drive the small three-wheeler away.
Because there are many construction sites over there, they are surrounded by fences, which also interferes with some people's sight, and the little three wheels just turned around at that time, so no one else saw Zheng Si jump into the small three wheels.
Zheng Si was afraid that other passengers would come up halfway, even if he hid under the seat at that time, as long as the passengers looked down, they could find him. But the good thing is that the driver doesn't seem to have the intention of carrying passengers, and drives all the way.
Zheng Si looked out from the crack in the curtain, the back section of the road was a little biased, and the surroundings seemed to have been planned, and there were many old buildings with a big "demolition" word painted on them, but the construction did not start.
After waiting for the car to drive for a while, Zheng Si suddenly thought, if he recognized the wrong person, how could he go back?!
We don't know the way! (To be continued......)
