"Hard Money" (29)
"Ran away?" I said puzzled.
"yes, such a skinny woman. There was a nurse on duty at the door almost twenty-four hours a day, but just like that, she was allowed to run. There was no news left, and we had no choice but to adopt the huge sea. The old man said.
"Wait, nothing's left? So what is the name of the huge sea? I said again.
"It's all the name of the medicine, and the fat sea is the cure for the throat. At that time, we received several such children almost every year. There is no way but to use the name of medicine, fat sea, honeysuckle, wheat winter, licorice and the like have been taken, and the surname that is not very good is homophonic. At that time, there was a glass cover on the cash register of the Chinese medicine hospital, and the extra change that customers had put in to buy medicine in the past few years became their living expenses. Many of these children have become famous and talented, and of course, there are many who have become huge seas. The old man said, shaking his head.
"Do you remember the last time you saw the sea?" I said.
"He passed the college entrance examination at Wuhan University of Science and Technology, and asked me to sign at that time. Almost all of the documents of these children will be filled in with the name of the dean at that time as long as the parents are involved, and I have been the dean for more than 30 years. Because of this, my phone number, which took five cents a minute to answer, has not been replaced. The old man said.
"So can you still connect with the sea now?" I said.
"There's no way, if he doesn't want to contact me. There's no way I can get in touch with him, after all, it's not easy for a young man to hide from me, an old man. The old man said.
Once again, the thread was broken, and this time it was the closest I felt I was to the sea.
At this moment, at half past four in the afternoon, everything was back to square one.
The old man saw that I was speechless, and got up and went to the kitchen.
Before entering the kitchen, he glanced at me and said, "Do you want to stay for dinner?" I don't have to cook an extra bowl of noodles at home. ”
"Offended, I'm going to leave and I have something to do." I said.
"Mr. Policeman." The old man said.
"What?" I looked at the old man.
"I thought about it, I don't have a 100% way to find the sea. But I should have a way to meet him with a small probability, but I don't know if I can say it. The old man said.
"Say, of course. I've made a note here, and it helps whenever I get the chance. I said anxiously.
"The sea is not a child, I saw it back then. There was a small shop selling sugar gourds at the entrance of the Chinese medicine hospital, and I would buy him sugar gourds when he was not obedient. He liked the sugar gourd very much, and he made a wish to me at that time that he could eat their sugar gourd every day. The old man said.
"Is the sugar gourd reliable?" I said, thinking about whether the sea liked sugar gourds back then. But I have very little memory of this, and I like to eat the takeout I ordered for him.
"That sugar gourd is different from others, pitted sugar gourds. If the huge sea hadn't changed his taste, he would definitely go. The old man said.
"Okay, I'll record it here." I nodded my head in disbelief.
"That's what I said, and the police comrades just listen to it. Otherwise, I don't have any other way, so I'll have a bad idea. The old man finished and went into the kitchen.
