Chapter 198: Finally Found You
It was a very sympathetic, but also very incomprehensible look, and I couldn't even bear to look at them too much, and if I looked at them for a while, I would feel quite bad in my heart.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Brother Chao and I to see the homeless man we were looking for at the same time.
At this moment, he changed his clothes, although they were still tattered old clothes, but they were much cleaner than the clothes he had before that were stained with his own vomit.
The man had lost some weight, his eyes were still glazed, and the whole was similar to the last time he was arrested.
Brother Chao and I looked at each other, then turned to the boss together and said, "It's him." ”
The boss breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to let everyone lay down their weapons.
Brother Chao and I also breathed a sigh of relief, this is okay, right?
Brother Chao took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then this... Boss, can we take people away? But the boss shook his head and said, "Not yet." I asked, "Why?" ”
The boss didn't speak, but walked up to the homeless man and twisted his hand on the homeless man's chin. The homeless man turned his head in response to his movements, showing no sense of resistance.
The boss picked up a broken bowl with a gap from the ground beside him, scooped out an unknown object in the bowl with a spoon, and stretched it out in front of the homeless man, who immediately opened his mouth, and as soon as the boss put the spoon into his mouth, the homeless man closed his mouth, and the boss pulled it out, and the contents of the spoon remained in the homeless man's mouth.
"In the past few days since I found him, he has been eating like this, this man must have suffered a brain injury, he only knows the most basic instinctive reactions, he can't say a word, you take him away... Is it to heal him? Can he be cured? ”
The homeless man chewed for a while, swallowed a mouthful of food, and opened his mouth mechanically, as if waiting for someone else to feed the next bite.
I suddenly felt a little sad, and asked a question that I felt a little inexplicable: "Big brother, he is like this, what did you think at the time?" Why did you pick him up? You guys... You don't look particularly wealthy. ”
The old man said as a matter of course, "If you don't bring him back, he'll be dead." ”
"Alas, big brother, you are a good person." Aside from this heartfelt compliment, I didn't know what to say for a while.
The leader smiled indifferently and said: "There are no good people who are not good people, to be honest, you have also seen our conditions, and it is really difficult to raise such a person, since you know him and want to take him away, and you can treat him, at least... At least you can find him a suitable means of transportation first. ”
I said, "That's fine, let's just take a taxi." ”
The eldest brother didn't speak, and Brother Chao said first: "In this wilderness, it's okay to let the driver pull the two of us in the middle of the night, and if there is such a normal master, the driver will definitely not dare to take this job." ”
The leader said very understandingly: "Yes, people with families and businesses will not be like us, and it is normal for them to be afraid of getting into trouble." ”
This is indeed a problem, but I thought about it, this is not my business with Brother Chao, this is the task assigned by Lei Zi, and he is not short of cars.
Thinking of this, I said, "Then I'll call my friend and ask him to drive over." ”
Brother Chao nodded, the leader didn't speak, seeing their reactions, I directly took out my mobile phone and dialed Leizi's mobile phone number.
It didn't take long for Lei Zi to pick up the phone, but before I could speak, the other side preemptively asked, "Xiao Zhao, it's done?" I hurriedly replied, "Yes, Brother Lei, you don't know..."
"Okay, then you wait for my call."
Leizi suddenly interrupted me, and after interrupting, he really hung up the phone.
I was directly confused by Lei Zi's hand, how many does this mean?
I held up my mobile phone in a daze, listened to the busy sound on the phone, turned my head to look at Brother Chao, then looked at the leading boss, and then looked at the stupid homeless man, and was a little speechless for a while.
Brother Chao saw that something was wrong with me, and walked up to me in a few steps and whispered, "What's wrong?" I wondered, "I don't know, I hung up the phone without letting me finish a word." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the phone suddenly vibrate, and it was a text message from Leizi: Go home with your friend first, I'm busy, I'll contact you tomorrow.
I showed the text message to Brother Chao, and Brother Chao was confused after reading it.
The leader shouted at the two of us, "How is it? When will your friends pick you up? ”
I discussed it with Brother Chao in a whisper, and Brother Chao walked up to the leader on behalf of the two of us and said, "What, our friend has something to do, and he can't come over tomorrow, can we come back tomorrow?" ”
The leader didn't speak, and the dreadlocked homeless man who pushed me just now was not happy, and he suddenly interjected: "You said you would stay for one night?" It's not like you haven't seen his situation, this..."
"Little Fun!" The leader interrupted the pigtailed homeless man with a little dissatisfaction, and then said to the two of us: "Okay, the two little brothers can come over at any time tomorrow, and there are people at home 24 hours a day." ”
I nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Brother Chao didn't know what to think, and suddenly took out a stack of money from his pocket, which seemed to cost five or six hundred.
He handed the money to the leader and said, "Big brother, thank you for taking care of him before, and I will trouble you to help take care of him for one night, and we will definitely come to pick up someone tomorrow." ”
The leader looked at the money expressionlessly, and then looked at Brother Chao, but he didn't answer.
Brother Chao glanced at me, I hurriedly reached out and touched my pocket, no, there are three hundred in this pocket, and then touch the other side, this side can be, less than two hundred.
I took out the less than two hundred and said: "Big brother, don't dislike it, we have a total of so many with us, you take it first, see that you don't have a QR code or anything here, it is estimated that it does not support scanning code payment, let's go straight, and we will send you some tomorrow." ”
The leader didn't be polite anymore, he took my money, took a few more Chao Ge's money, and left him two hundred, and then said: "Then thank you two, to tell you the truth, we do need it, this money... That's enough for us to buy something to survive the winter, you live in the city, right? Save some money for a taxi back. ”
Brother Chao was not hypocritical, put away the money, and the two of us said goodbye to the leader and left the broken temple.
In the direction pointed by the leader, we walked for half an hour, and finally came to the side of a large road, and after walking for a while, we saw an empty taxi.
On the way back, I kept looking at my phone, hoping that Leizi could send me another message or something, but he didn't contact me again until my phone turned off automatically because it ran out of power.
