Chapter 236: Heavy rain pours
Mrs. Gao and Chen Hong waited honestly in place, waiting for Kou Xi to bring them good news.
"What time is it, is there a point?" The tall lady was anxiously spinning in place, and she was not interested in buying watermelons when someone came to buy them. Chen Hong was so busy that he would help sell watermelons for a while and mix cold skin for a while. I had to explain to the visitor that the child in the family was lost, and there was no news from the adults looking for it.
"More than a point has passed!" The eldest sister on the other side came over enthusiastically, pointed to the watch on her wrist and said, "Look at it, I'm pinching it." Hurry up and go home and find someone, isn't your son a soldier, hurry up and find him and let him lead someone to find him!"
Gao Da Niang wiped her tears anxiously, and hurriedly ran to the supply and marketing cooperatives to borrow a phone. But she was anxious and panicked, her hands and feet trembled, and she couldn't speak clearly. It was Chen Hong who helped to call the senior deputy battalion commander and said what Kou Xi had explained before.
After a while, Deputy Battalion Commander Gao and Huo An drove with a few people to feel that Huo An's movements were more neat than Deputy Battalion Commander Gao. Jumped out of the car directly and grabbed Chen Hong and asked the situation: "What did Kou Xi say?"
She said she suspected that the man selling the dumplings was a human trafficker, and told me to follow the man's way home. If she found out that he really did it, she would be following her now, and said that she would leave clues on the road for us to find. Chen Hong saw that his man was also there, and pulled his sleeve in fear, tears crackling down: "We don't know what's going on, just three or five minutes of kung fu, the child will be gone." ”
At this time, three blisters had already appeared at the corners of the senior deputy battalion commander's mouth, that is, the instant kung fu was on fire. He didn't dare to complain about his own mother, so he could only comfort: "You can't abduct our children, if he is here every day, he will definitely have to investigate in advance." Who can provoke us? We all know that our family members are in the army, and we must not do such stupid things!"
Gao Da Niang wiped her tears and howled: "What do you know about the fried big fruit, it's not the same to find someone Huo Huo's family? You are all big-headed soldiers and not big officials, what's the use." ”
She wiped her tears and regretted it: "I shouldn't have come out to sell steamed buns, I lost my eldest grandson in order to earn two dollars." I'm not going to live, I'll buy some rat pills and find my old man when I go back!"
The senior deputy battalion commander was crying by his mother, and he couldn't complain at this time, so he could only coax patiently. He turned his head to Huo An and said, "Kou Xi has already explained, it is really possible to find something." Let's follow her path and find it, and we will definitely find it. ”
Huo An was also anxious at this time, for fear that something would happen to Kou Xi if he was discovered.
The enthusiastic eldest sister who sold clothes on the other side told the cause and effect of Kou Xi's departure again, and pointed out the direction where Kou Xi went. Huo An couldn't wait to catch up, he felt that it was too inconvenient to drive. With the two of them, he walked along the road carefully looking for the message that Kou Xi might leave behind.
The wind was blowing and the air pressure was getting lower and lower. Walking along the country road, you can smell the dampness. The swallows flew by on the ground from time to time, and after a while, the strong wind overturned the hanger of the eldest sister opposite.
People fled home one after another, and Deputy Battalion Commander Gao instructed Platoon Commander Jiang to drive the car to send Mrs. Gao and Chen Hong home first. The three stalls were quickly put away and sent to the back mailroom.
Gao Da Niang arrived home in a trance, and sat on the kang and regretted it like a sister-in-law. Seeing this, Chen Hong hurriedly walked out of the house and covered the sauce jar for her, pressing a stone on it. Then go to the chicken coop and drive the old hens into the chicken coop, put enough wheat bran and water, and close the door. The shack was covered with a few more tiles to make sure it would not be overturned by the storm.
She walked around the yard and set up the door to the garden. The barn door was closed, and the windows of Kouxi's house were blocked with stones. After everything was done, she remembered her son, who was still in kindergarten. hurriedly ran over to check, and when I asked, I realized that my mother-in-law had already taken the child home.
Chen Hong ran home and briefly explained to her mother-in-law. I was relieved to find that the family had been properly prepared. took the poncho and told her mother-in-law that she would go over to accompany Mrs. Gao first: "Let's see if we can find the child, and when the deputy battalion commander Gao comes back, I will go home!"
Old Mrs. Jiang nodded solemnly: "Well, I said that I saw a car walking behind just now, and it looks like you." You don't have to worry about me, I'll cook when it's time, and I'll take the child to sleep when it's dark. When it's over, you just have to come back. I hope you don't lose it!"
She couldn't help but ask, "Do you need me to go with the child too?"
Chen Hong shook his head: "That's not necessary, you can stop staying at home." As she spoke, she put on her poncho and put on her rain boots and walked out.
Before I got out of the door of my house, the raindrops had begun to crackle. That is, in half a minute, the raindrops turned into torrential rain. The dirt road to the tall lady's house instantly became muddy. Fortunately, Chen Hong has a lot of life experience, and she is not afraid of this wind and rain when she is fully dressed.
When she arrived at Mrs. Gao's house, she pushed the door into the house and found that Mrs. Gao was still sitting on the kang in a daze as she had done when she first left.
Chen Hong took off her raincoat and put it aside, and turned on the lights in the room again. She didn't know what to say, so she could only take out a pillow and a quilt from the kang cabinet. Let Mrs. Gao lie down and wait, Mrs. Gao is now in a state of lying down when she gives water and drinks to her pillow. Completely stupid and stupid, I can't listen to anything.
On the other side, the rain poured down, and the whole world smoked. Huo An didn't find any clues left by Kou Xi along the way, he tried to recall what Kou Xi had said, and the two of them didn't seem to think about such a day.
"You all look around, are there any special symbols on the trunk!" Hoan found a triangle on one of the trunks, with three corners, one on the top and one on the left. He felt that this was the clue left by Kou Xi, but he was not sure in his heart.
"Battalion commander!" the people around him said to Huo An, "If my sister-in-law leaves any clues on the ground, it will be washed away by the rain now." If this figure is the clue, then we should have the same shape further along!"
Huo An brought three people with him, two followed him, and one went to the front to investigate. At this time, the scout ran back and said to Huo An: "Battalion commander, there is a tree trunk at the fork in front that also has this triangular mark. ”
Hoan immediately caught up with him and ran to the intersection that the scout had spoken. It was found to be a Y-shaped junction. There were no markings near either fork in the road, but the figure was found on a tree trunk.
"It's a hidden path, it should be through here!" the scout explained to Joan, "The rain was so heavy that the grass on both sides was overwhelmed, and the road was out of sight. But there are indeed traces of wheels running here, and I'm sure my sister-in-law is going in this direction!"
The scout brushed the mess away and pointed to a less clear wheel print for Joan.
