DAY 6 Go out for help
My first instinct was to hold my brother's hand tightly.
I felt my body tense and stared at the flower in Mom's hand - this was the ingredient for that pill? A potted plant raised at home would actually be the raw material for that pill?! Did they notice anything unusual about the medicine? What will we be like?? …… Wait, didn't my brother say that all the potted plants at home were thrown away? How did she get it?
The younger brother spoke first: "'Mom', don't you don't keep potted plants?" ”
"Mom" looked at us, and her smile faded: "I don't keep bonsai because I think they are useless." She looked at the flower in her hand and muttered, "It turned out to be useful, it seems that 'she' is not stupid." ”
I pursed my lips, I knew she was talking about Mom, what right did she have to say Mom!! The bandit who forcibly took over my mother's body!! But I had to be patient now, so I hid my eyes and said nothing.
At this time, "Dad" also spoke: "Nuonuo, Luo Luo, tell me, what kind of flower is this?" ”
My brother and I looked at each other. This is one of my mother's favorite flowers, Ixorachinensis Lam., the Chinese name Dragon Boat Flower, the plant shape is beautiful, the flowers are dense, and it is the national flower of Myanmar. Because the dragon boat flower needs plenty of light and likes moisture and is afraid of dryness, my mother put it in the most sunny corner of the balcony, watered it regularly every day, and fertilized it regularly every month, just like a baby, so it blooms the most bright and beautiful.
But the true identity of this flower must not be known to them. In my hurry, I thought of some kind of similar-looking plant that I often saw on my way to elementary school, and lied without changing my face: "This ...... It's shit flowers. "yes, it's a shit flower." The younger brother also hurriedly followed.
Dad took out his iPad and checked it, comparing the pictures, and there were indeed some similarities. So he looked up at us with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you are really good boys." It's none of your business, go cook, I'm hungry. ”
We fled out of the room.
When I came to the kitchen, my brother whispered to me with a worried face, "Will they find out, what should we do now?" ”
I looked at the kitchen door and made sure no one was eavesdropping, before I whispered, "I guess even if I didn't find it, I wouldn't be far from it." Are you saying that flower is really a raw material? If so, then we have to snatch the flower from 'Mommy'. That should be the key to getting Mom and Dad back. ”
"But how to rob it? They may already be suspicious of us. The younger brother thought worriedly.
"It shouldn't matter if you can't grab it in a short time, although it may be one of the raw materials for the pills, but my roommate said that this is not a lot of medicine and can't be sold wholesale, which means that there must be some precious ingredients in it that can't be obtained in large quantities, even if they get the flower, it's useless. Now it's just a matter of preventing them from getting the real pills. I analyzed it carefully. Luckily, my mom didn't ask me for any other "cold medicine", otherwise I wouldn't have known how to react.
"But what if they lose patience and tear our faces apart? We're still trying to get it to our hands sooner rather than later. By the way, your roommate hasn't been reached yet? The younger brother glanced out the door and disguised himself scooping out the rice from the bucket to make a look of washing rice.
I also cooperatively took out a few cans from the refrigerator and held the can opener to make an open motion: "No, do you remember the news we just watched?" She is from medical school, their family is also a medical family, and his father seems to be a dean-like figure, I guess something happened to their family...... It may take this time for the turmoil to pass before she can be contacted. "But strangely, why can't the other two roommates be contacted?
"What about Mom and Dad? We'll have to rely on your roommate to save your parents. My brother's tone was a little anxious, but he didn't look back at me to hide it.
"I think we can go to my uncle." I finally told me what I had been thinking about for a long time, although it must be dangerous, since my uncle and we were not in the same city.
"Huh? What about Mom and Dad? The younger brother was taken aback. I knew it was a risky move, and we didn't have a lot of leverage. But if you don't gamble anymore at this moment, the situation of your parents will be even worse, especially when "Mom" even remembered the smell of the pills and found one of the ingredients today.
"I can only gamble on it." Mom and Dad's don't dare to go out at will, even if we go out, our mobile phones can search for their iWatch for GPS positioning. As long as they don't think to take off their watches, everything is easy to say. I also tried to call my uncle, but he didn't answer. If we continue to work at home, it will only get worse. We have to find someone we can trust to call for help. Although I am very worried about my parents right now, it is not safe to leave one of us alone at home in this situation. I analyzed everything I thought to him, and after a few minutes of silence, my brother finally nodded solemnly: "Okay." Let's make a bet and hope that 'Mom and Dad' won't run around. So when are we leaving? ”
"It takes about two days to go back and forth, and if we stay for one day, it will take three days in total, so there shouldn't be too much trouble at home. The sooner you go, the better, tomorrow, when the meal is ready, you will go and pack your luggage, and I will go and tell 'Mom', and say that we are worried about my uncle's side, and I want to go and see, and I will come back immediately. By the way, I asked for 'Daddy' car keys. "I estimated the time and finalized the plan for the time being.
"You have to think clearly, in this case, maybe my uncle won't stay in the small clinic at home......" The younger brother reminded, and we were all silent.
"If he's not here," I thought for a moment, and said hesitantly, "then let's come back, it's not safe to stay too long." At least we can't get them lost. ”
"Okay." The younger brother nodded. We continued to cook with our hearts and minds.
Everything is going well. After the meal, I got the car keys, and the next morning we said goodbye to my "mom and dad" and went out with my brother. We left them some food and necessary supplies at home, and we brought three days' worth of food ourselves. Just in case, I also locked the security door of my house before going out.
I haven't been out of the house for a long time, and it seems to be much more desolate outside, and there are not many people on the street. I found my dad's car in the garage of the neighborhood and was officially ready to go.
"Huh? Why is there no one at the security booth at the door? ......"When the car was about to drive out of the community, my younger brother sat on the co-pilot and asked questions.
"I don't know...... In this situation, maybe there will be a strike. "I didn't pay much attention to it, because there were fewer cars on the road, so it would be better to drive, so maybe I could get to my uncle in half a day.
You can drive to the entrance of the expressway, and there is no staff member who gives the card. The car stop at the entrance was also smashed.
I was a little uneasy, so I stopped there and waited for a while, but no one came to accept it, so I drove over hesitantly. Time is urgent, wait until the toll office to explain to the staff!
But a few hours later, when I finally drove to the toll booth, there was no one on duty, and the car stop was also broken.
"What happened? ......" I muttered. My brother had already fallen asleep during the long ride, and although I was a little uneasy, I didn't dare to think about it, so I quickly passed the toll booth and drove in the direction of my uncle's house.
Soon the scenery became familiar, and after turning a few corners, I saw the little bell tower in front of my uncle's clinic in the distance.
My uncle's house is upstairs from his small private clinic. I drove to the door of the small clinic and found that the door was not open, so I honked the horn a few times, and at the same time pressed the window and shouted upstairs: "Uncle, I am Nuonuo, my brother and I are here to find you, open the door quickly." ”
The younger brother woke up, he rubbed his eyes and sat up straight, and said in a hoarse voice, "Arrived?" It's pretty fast...... Uncle really didn't open the door? ”
"Well, the door didn't open, you get out of the car and ring the doorbell to see. He didn't pay attention to me when I honked the horn, did he think it was someone else's? My screams are too low, and I don't think he can hear them. I unlocked the car, and my brother jumped out of the car, ran to the door, and rang the doorbell several times.
But there was no reaction at all.
Just when we were so disappointed that we were about to give up, a small window on the second floor opened, and my uncle's head slowly poked out. The younger brother saw it first, and he was amused, and began to knock on the door more vigorously, press the doorbell, and shouted loudly: "Bad uncle, if you don't open the door so late, I thought you weren't there!" ”
"Oh, don't knock, I know, I'll go down and open the door to you now. Be quiet, this place can't stand your toss right now. The uncle shouted at his brother in a little hurry, retracted his head and closed the window with a "bang".
My brother stopped what he was doing, turned around and stuck his tongue out at me. I gave him a roll of the eyes, pulled out my car keys, picked up my luggage, got out of the car and locked the door.
