Chapter 74: Something Seems to Have Happened
Zou Jie and Xiaomei had no intention of sitting down, but they had to sit down.
Xiaomei filled out the registration form, Zou Jie signed in the certifier column, both of them pressed their fingerprints, and Xiaomei handed the registration form to Gao Laosan.
Under the guidance of Zou Jie, Xiaomei wrote another letter of guarantee and promised to go back to the school to issue a letter of introduction. After the matter was done, Zou Jie and Xiaomei got up and wanted to leave, but Director Gao was still unsatisfied.
"What's the urgency of the long night, it's not too late to sit for a while."
Gao Laosan said, grabbed a handful of orange petals, and went to pull Xiaomei's hand, which was obviously unintentional on the surface, but it was intentional.
Xiaomei's hand was touched by Gao Laosan, like an electric shock, and quickly pulled her hand back to hide behind her back, her eyes hinting at Zou Jie.
Zou Jie understood, and took the candy for Xiaomei: "Thank you, director, since this candy is for the two of us, then I'm not welcome." ”
Zou Jie said, handed the candy to Xiaomei, and grabbed another handful.
"Director Gao is worthy of being the director of the guest house, this office is so neatly clean," Zou Jie walked to the bookshelf, "I can't imagine that you usually read books and newspapers?" It's really impressive, I'll see what good books there are, and I'll lend us a few. ”
"Director Zou has been raised, what can be borrowed or not, mine is the two of you."
Gao Laosan was very happy when he heard Zou Jie praise him, but it was a pity that this did not come out of Xiaomei's mouth.
Zou Jie flipped through a few books, except for a "xxx anthology", which was a few newly created "Red Flag" magazines, and then a few familiar villain books, which she had read.
Thinking that she hadn't read the newspaper for a few days when she had been squatting in Xingfutun these days, she chose a few recent "People's Daily" and "Guangming Daily", ready to borrow them, and took a few copies of "Red Flag" magazine for Xiaomei.
"Director Gao, I'll take these newspapers and magazines back and read them, and send them back to you after reading, you will be busy every day, and Teacher Xiaomei and I won't bother."
Zou Jie said, picked up Xiaomei and walked out.
"Teacher Xiaomei, what books do you like to read, tell the third brother, I will ask someone to buy it for you."
Gao Laosan originally wanted to pretend to call Xiaomei Teacher Ye, but he didn't control his mouth at this time.
"That's great, Xiaomei likes to read "Book from Heaven" the most, please help buy it," Zou Jie glanced at Xiaomei, "Right, Xiaomei?" ”
Xiaomei smiled silently, just took Zou Jie's hand and walked out, she couldn't wait to leave Gao Laosan's sight immediately.
"Okay, good, good, Book from Heaven, right? I'll definitely buy it. ”
Gao Laosan didn't know that this was Zou Jie's teasing, and thought it was an opportunity for him, so he swore to agree while carrying a lantern to send Zou Jie and Xiaomei.
Xiaomei and Zou Jie returned to their rooms, put down books and newspapers, and lit the oil lamp, Zou Jie suddenly laughed: "It's so funny, you see Gao Laosan pretending to be low-minded and low-spirited, it's all for you, I pity him a little." Xiaomei, you don't know, I have been to his office before, and I said that what sounds good is not like a place where people stay, and what I said that it doesn't sound like a pig's nest, what do you think of today? I guess in order to meet you, I just engaged in a surprise battle. ”
"Can't you? On the first day I came, we both went to his office and it was pretty clean. Xiaomei said as she went to draw the curtains.
Zou Jie said: "That's why he knew in advance that you were coming, so that you could see it." ”
Xiaomei said: "Don't mention him, sister, show me the "Red Flag" magazine, I have never read it." ”
Zou Jie handed the magazine to Xiaomei, Zou Jie picked up the newspaper, and the two sisters read the book and newspaper by the light of the kerosene lamp.
For about two quarters of an hour, they heard someone knocking on the window of their room in a hurry, for suddenly the two sisters were so frightened that they held their breath for a moment.
It's so late, who's knocking on the window? Good guy or bad guy?
Xiaomei didn't dare to open the curtains, let alone ask, and leaned on Zou Jie tremblingly.
"What are you afraid of, is there a ghost?"
Zou Jie has been trained in the world, coupled with his high art and boldness, he is not alarmed, and he did not show the slightest panic at this time.
She blew out the oil lamp and lifted the curtains, only to see a man standing in front of the window, a child, who could not see who it was because it was dark.
"Who? Why knock on the window? Zou Jie asked loudly.
"It's me."
"Who are you?"
Zou Jie and Xiaomei were familiar with this voice, like Xiaobaijia, but they weren't sure.
"I'm Xiaobaijia."
Although there is a window on the first floor, the sound can still be distinguished.
"It's a small hundred families." Xiaomei was sure and hurriedly lit the oil lamp.
Zou Jie was also sure that it was Xiaobaijia, and thought to himself, he came late at night, something must have happened.
At night, the door of the guest house is locked, and the key is kept by the caretaker, so outsiders cannot enter, and people inside can not easily get out.
"What are you doing at such a late hour?" Zou Jie asked, while climbing onto the windowsill, trying to open the window and let Xiaobaijia jump in and ask for clarification.
There are two bolts above and below the wooden window, Xiaomei is holding an oil lamp, Zou Jie opens a window, but Xiaobaijia retreats a few steps back.
Just on the dim kerosene light, Zou Jie and Xiaomei didn't look at it, and they were taken aback.
I saw that Xiao Baijia was naked, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and there was blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and nostrils.
"Baijia, you were beaten? What's wrong? What about clothes? Xiaomei and Zou Jie spoke almost in unison.
"Hmm!" Xiao Baijia agreed aggrievedly.
"Jump in through the window." Zou Jie said eagerly, "Can you climb up?" ”
"I'm not going in," Xiaobaijia was a little impatient, "Can you give me the original dress?" ”
Xiao Baijia prayed pitifully.
"The clothes aren't dry yet, you come in." Zou Jie shouted.
"I won't come in, you give me the clothes, and I'll dry them myself."
Xiao Baijia said, sobbing his snot and tears.
Xiaomei hurriedly took the washed clothes and handed them to Zou Jie, and Zou Jie handed them to Xiaobaijia from the window.
After taking the clothes, Xiao Baijia cried and said: "I can't fetch water for you in the future, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
Xiao Baijia said, and immediately knelt on the ground again, this time without kowtowing: "Please, help me take care of my grandmother in the future." ”
"Baijia, what's wrong with you?" Xiaomei asked confusedly, "Why can't you fetch water, I'm sorry?" Come on in. ”
Before Xiaomei finished asking, Xiaobaijia immediately kowtowed three times, then stood up and ran.
Zou Jie couldn't say anything, jumped out of the window, and chased in the direction of Xiaobaijia: "Don't run, you stop for me......"
Because Zou Jie was wearing a pair of slippers, his steps were not fast, and he didn't run far before he was thrown away by Xiaobaijia, and he saw Xiaobaijia disappear into the vast night.
Zou Jie had no choice but to return.
Where you jump, you have to climb up.
Back outside the room, Zou Jie was light and agile, and without Xiaomei's help, he grabbed the window sash with an arrow step, climbed on the window sill, and jumped into the room.
"Did you catch it?" Xiaomei couldn't wait to ask.
"No, this kid can run faster than a rabbit." Zou Jie said, "It looks like I'm being bullied." ”
"Then why did he come to us and say, 'You can't fetch water for us in the future, I'm sorry, and begged us to take care of his grandmother,'" Xiaomei was puzzled, "What does this mean?" What are you going to do? ”
"It seems that he is running away from home," Zou Jie analyzed, "Is it that others always bully him, and he can't get along here?" ”
Xiaomei said: "There is this possibility, but I think he is very filial, and once he leaves ruthlessly, he doesn't care about his grandmother?" Mei said suspiciously, "Not really." ”
"Maybe someone threatened him and drove him away, he was scared and had to leave." Zou Jie said, "These wild boys are all gangs, and they can't join the gang when they pull him in, and force him to steal and rob him, so they will definitely not tolerate him." ”
"It's really possible that this is the case," Xiaomei said, "I think Xiaobaijia is kind-hearted and has quite an idea, let him do bad things, he will definitely not do it." ”
"I don't miss him, the more savage the child grows, the more tenacious the vitality is, there will be nothing, I am a ready-made example." Zou Jie said, "I have investigated, these wild children have everything, in addition to social problems, the main thing is the lack of discipline, you are a people's teacher, you have a great responsibility, educate the children well." ”
"Sister, I'm convinced of you, you will really go online." Xiaomei picked up the magazine and had no intention of reading it.
"Can't stand it? I don't have the heart to read the newspaper anymore, there's water in the kettle, right? It's better to wash your feet, let's go to bed early. Zou Jie said, "I know where Xiaobaijia lives, and I'll get up early tomorrow to see if he has come home." ”
"Well, I'm going to get some water."
Xiaomei said, and quickly made a basin of warm water.
Two square stools, the two sisters sit opposite each other, put their feet into a basin, and seize the opportunity not to forget to touch and play with each other.
Suddenly, there was a faint scream from far outside, Zou Jie and Xiaomei carefully distinguished, Xiaomei said: "It seems that someone is shouting: 'Come on, kill someone'." ”
Zou Jie heard the same, but he couldn't believe it, thinking that he had heard poorly, and if he listened carefully, someone was indeed shouting over and over again: "Murder...... Killed ......"
Xiaomei was horrified when she heard this. Zou Jie was also shocked, but as a commune cadre's duty, when he heard such a thing, he couldn't ignore it, and at least report it to the police station.
Zou Jie is now wearing pajamas, and while she quickly took off her pajamas, she instructed Xiaomei, "Quick, help me bring my clothes." ”
Xiaomei felt Zou Jie's eagerness, and immediately took out her clothes and prepared shoes for her.
"Sister, are you going?"
"Hmm!"
"I'll go with you."
"No, don't scare you, you just stay in the room, don't worry about me, I'll go to the police station to report the case first, and I'll come back after learning about the situation, don't be afraid yourself."
Zou Jie quickly changed his clothes, worried that it would be troublesome for the administrator to open the door when he walked through the main entrance, so he simply jumped out of the window again.
The police station is on this street, not far from the guest house.
When Zou Jie rushed to the police station, he didn't go far when he heard the siren of the motorcycle, and a police three-wheeled motorcycle was driving head-on.
When the motorcycle passed by Zou Jie, it stopped for a while, and the two public security officers asked Zou Jie's intentions and rushed to the scene with Zou Jie.
It turned out that there were already patrol militiamen who had gone to the police station to report the case.
It's all shouted that was heard, and the specifics are not yet known.
