Food stamps, verse 84 In the dark

I looked everywhere in the yard, and I went to the toilet, but I didn't find my mother, so I was anxious, turned around and walked out, bypassed the shadow wall, and looked at the courtyard door open, and my heart sighed, it's broken!

I rushed out of the courtyard to see, there was no shadow of my mother, the road in front of the door was in the east-west direction, to the east was the garment factory where my mother worked, and to the west was the direction of the railway station, where there was a non-staple food store where my mother and Guan Da Niang worked, and there was also a home about my mother. I turned around and went back to the house, took the lock of the courtyard door and came out, and as I walked quickly thought about where my mother might go, my mother was confused, but sometimes she could occasionally remember a lot of old things, I don't know, my mother now remembers a garment factory or a grocery store, or neither, what does she remember is Aunt Guan?

I locked the courtyard door, hesitated, but decided to go west, and I trot up quickly, maybe even catch up with my mother. However, I ran all the way to the train station and didn't see my mother, the original grocery store was long gone, and a magnificent hotel was erected in the original place, I continued to walk west, and came to the alley of Guan Da Niang's house, I walked in, and arrived at Guan Da Niang's house, but I saw that the door was locked, and there was no one at home. It seems that Brother Wei Min and Xiao Cui will not come back for lunch at noon.

I stood outside the door and felt anxious, if these two places didn't have them, I don't think the garment factory might have a big surname, where can my mother go? After a while, I thought about walking back, and my eyes looked everywhere I looked, and there was no shadow of my mother.

In this way, while looking and walking, unconsciously arrived at the garment factory where my mother worked, this factory has now been transformed, the door is hung with a Sino-foreign joint venture signboard, the original simple factory door is gone, replaced by an automatic telescopic iron door, the communication room with broken bamboo curtains has also been transformed into a round flat roof room surrounded by glass windows, there is a young man in a security uniform, looking at me through the glass window, I stepped forward to ask him through the glass if he has seen a sixty or seventy-year-old gray-haired old lady. The young man shook his head.

I looked at the row of closed retractable doors and knew my mom couldn't get in.

Where else can you go? I didn't have a head to find my mother on the street, and kept asking the roadside stalls to do business, describing my mother's appearance to them, asking them if they had seen it, in the afternoon, I was hungry and growling, and then I remembered that I didn't eat at noon, and my mother didn't eat, thinking of this, my heart was in a hurry, my mother ate very regularly, and when she was hungry, she was irritable, and she ate from the morning to now, I don't know what happened.

I still didn't find my mom until it got dark, and when I was about to get off work, I went to the police station to report that my mom was lost. The young man on duty asked me how long I had been lost, and I said that it was almost noon, and the young man looked up at the quartz clock hanging on the wall, and the time pointed to 4:50, and then turned to look at me, and said, "You have only been ...... hours."

"My mother has Alzheimer's, doesn't recognize people, and is confused," I interrupted ......the little policeman, and now the police station has changed young people, and no one knows anyone.

When the little policeman heard me say this, he didn't say any more, but wrote down his name, home address, and home phone number, and said that there was news to notify me.

When I came out of the police station, it was the rush hour after work, and the streets were full of people who were in a hurry to get off work and go home. I've searched almost all of them in an afternoon for such a small place, so I won't go to the suburbs, right? It's so dark, the more I think about it, the more scared I become, the longer the time, the more dangerous it is, I can't let my mom spend the night outside, absolutely not!

I ran to Brother Wei Min's house again, and wanted Brother Wei Min to drive with me to a farther place to look for it, but I didn't expect that the door was still locked, and there was still no one at home. I was so anxious that I stood at the door and wanted to cry, there was a feeling that the sky should not be called the earth, I thought it would be better to hire a taxi to find it myself, I made up my mind, held back my tears and walked out, I met a taxi at the mouth of the alley, I stretched out my hand to stop, the taxi stopped, I was just about to get in the car, but I didn't expect the driver to shake the glass down and call me: "Xiaonan." ”

When I saw it, it turned out to be Brother Wei Min. "Brother Wei Min......"

I just called Brother Wei Min and couldn't go on, and tears flowed down my face.

"What's wrong? Come home and say, Come up. "Brother Wei Min beckoned me to get in the car.

"Brother Wei Min, my mother can't find it!" I burst into tears.

"Ahh When did it happen? Come up, come up. ”

I got into the car and sat in the back seat, and Brother Wei Min drove the car to the side of the road and stopped.

"At noon today, I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find it!"

"It's been an afternoon, why don't you look for me?"

"I'm here, and there's no one at noon at your house."

"Don't you have my phone at home?"

I just remembered when Brother Wei Min said this, and I was in a hurry and forgot.

"Where are you looking?" Brother Wei Min asked me.

"I found all the places I could find, the grocery store, the garment factory, and the station, but I didn't have any."

Brother Wei Min pondered. I continued, "Do you think my mom will run away? She didn't know the way again, and ate in the morning, until now...... As soon as I swept the floor, it was gone, and I couldn't find it when I came out to look for it. ”

"In this way, let's go around the road and look for it, and go farther."

"yes, okay."

Brother Wei Min turned around and drove along a road at the exit of the station, which was in the center of the city, radiating five roads in different directions, "Let's look for them one by one." Brother Wei Min said.

"Hmm."

The night had slowly fallen, it was dim and dark everywhere, and the vision was not good, Brother Wei Min and I didn't talk anymore, and looked out of the car window. We kept running down this road out of town, and we didn't see my mother's shadow. Brother Wei Min stopped at the edge of an empty crop field, turned back to me and said, "Let's go back, Auntie shouldn't be able to go so far." ”

"Okay, let's go back."

Brother Wei Min turned the car around and drove back, walked to a fork in the road, and turned onto another road. We eliminated it from road to road, until we found that in the middle of the night, Brother Wei Min bought a few buns for me on the side of the road, I couldn't eat a bite, the longer the time, the more I felt bad, my mother must have had an accident.

After we finished looking for the last road, we parked the car on the side of the road, Brother Wei Min got out of the car and stretched his body, and sat back again, it can be seen that Brother Wei Min is also very tired, I don't want to go, and said: "Brother Wei Min, or you go back, you have to get in the car tomorrow, we have to find a big place, I will walk and look for a small place, in the alley, in the middle of the road, maybe my mother is tired and resting in those places!" You go back first. ”

"I'm fine." Brother Wei Min thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to go back and take a look, didn't you leave a phone number for the police station?" Maybe there's news! Also, the eldest lady may still have an impression of home, will she find it back by herself? ”

Brother Wei Min put on his seat belt and continued: "Go back and see if there is no letter, I will walk with you and look for the alley." ”

"Can you go back so late? Let's talk to my sister-in-law! "I reminded Brother Wei Min.

"No!" Brother Wei Min started the car.

Brother Wei Min's taxi had just turned past the intersection of my house, and under the illumination of the headlights, I saw that my door was empty, and there was no one in front of my house, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart: My mother didn't come back.

Brother Wei Min got out of the car and accompanied me to open the door and enter the yard, the yard was dark, I pulled the light rope, the light was not on, the house still kept the way I walked, the door was not locked, I groped in, found the switch by the door, turned on, the light was on, I quickly rushed over to look at the phone on the cupboard, as soon as I saw the seven missed calls on the screen, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Brother Wei Min, there are seven missed calls."

"Let's go back and see." Brother Wei Min walked over.

"Hmm."

I pressed the number shown and dialed back, and after a while, I was connected, and there was a tick-tock-tick waiting sound from the earpiece. At this time, I suddenly became scared and handed the earpiece to Brother Wei Min: "Brother Wei Min, you fight." ”

Brother Wei Min glanced at me and took the earpiece.

"Hey, who's calling that?" Brother Wei Min asked. Next, Brother Wei Min agreed while listening, and after a while, Brother Wei Min hung up the phone.

"Brother Wei Min, who fought it? How so? "Seeing that Brother Wei Min hung up the phone, I couldn't wait to ask him.

“…… People from the police station, they said that the hospital admitted an old lady and could not find her family...... I don't know if it's or not ”

"Hospital?" I didn't understand for a while, how could my mom go to the hospital? Still admitted?

"It doesn't have to be a big lady, let's go and see it now."

"Didn't say what's wrong?"

"It looks like I fell down the stairs." (To be continued.) )
