Chapter 606 is no small matter
Obviously.
Shi An was not at the neighbor’s house.
As the New Year approaches, there is greater mobility of personnel, and some things are difficult to guard against.
Losing a child is no small matter.
Especially a while ago, there was news from other places that a child of a certain family had been abducted by human traffickers.
There were heavy footsteps on the side of the house, and the neighbors were mobilized.
Lu Miao heard movement in the room, her scalp was numb, the hairs on her arms stood up for no reason under her thin coat, and she broke into a cold sweat.
Neighbors alone can’t do this with help...
“You have to call the police.”
Lu Miao held the door and stood on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard.
"What? Call the police?"
Everyone glanced at her and looked at each other, a little hesitant.
“It’s the Chinese New Year, is it okay to contact the police at this time?”
“Children’s matters are not trivial!”
There is no doubt about Lu Miao's attitude, but when facing everyone, she softly asked:
"I am heavy and it is difficult to move. Please help me if you have time, brother or sister-in-law!" Please!”
Everyone saw that she had a pointed belly and was wearing thin clothes with a pale face.
I am pregnant, yet I look anxious, angry and sick.
I was also afraid that she would fall if she walked out, so soon a neighbor brother stepped forward:
"I'll go!"
Lu Miao immediately cast a grateful look.
The alley was noisy. Widow Liao curled her lips and stood at the end of the alley eating melon seeds. Looking at the bustle, she thought to herself:
It’s not my biological son, so just throw it away.
With one less mouth to eat, there is less pressure at home.
Seeing how worried Lu Miao was over there, Widow Liao snorted, feeling quite secretly happy.
It happened that Tang Mei came back from inquiring about the news from the compound next door.
Widow Liao blocked the way, so Tang Mei pushed her away and ran back.
Before the people who rushed to report the crime ran out of the alley, Tang Mei was panting and shouted from a distance:
"Qiu Hong's mother said, the child left with Mei Zi , He said he was carrying a basket to the train track, probably picking up coal cores! ”
Lu Miao felt dizzy:
"Mean He'er, what kind of coal core are you picking up at this time?!"
Mei Zi is in a difficult situation, so she can just go, but Shi An has so few people, he can go do what?
There are no obstacles on the side of the train track. Children who are so small don’t know anything. How dangerous!
Lu Miao was about to collapse when a young sister-in-law came up and helped Tang Mei into the house:
"Don't worry because you're pregnant. Just go into the house and wait. Look over there, everyone, and I'll find the baby for you as soon as possible!"
Lu Miao's smile was forced, and she was panicking. They were all shaking a little:
“Sorry, sister-in-law, it’s late. When my wife comes back later, she will come to thank you all.”
“Okay, we are all neighbors.”
“Sister-in-law, please come and run for us.” …”
Tang Mei followed the young wife out.
“Where are you talking?”
A few fast-footed young gay men in the alley ran to the train tracks.
After walking along the road for a while, I saw a figure of one tall and one short swaying:
"Meizi, why did you bring him here? You didn't even tell his mother! You My mother was so scared. She couldn’t find anyone just now, so her mother had to call the police!”
"Ah? I, I didn't..."
Mei Zi was stunned for a moment, and immediately panicked after reacting.
Ignoring picking up coal cores, I quickly led Shi An back, whose face was as dirty as a little black cat.
Shi An opened his mouth, his eyes flickered, and he was a little nervous.
Let’s talk about Tang Mei.
After entrusting people in the alley to find the child, Tang Mei went to the back of the alley and called Lu Yuanzheng to come back.
The phone call didn't get through, and the family couldn't let go, so Tang Mei had no choice but to ask a neighbor's boy for help.
When Lu Yuanzheng hurried back, his neighbor had just brought Shi An back. Lu Miao lost his temper for the first time. With a pale face and a headache, he took off Shi An's pants and beat him on the kang.
“Who told you to run around? Don’t you dare to do it next time!”
Shi An endured it at first, but then he couldn't. Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, his face turned red and he cried "Wow".
The two little ones next to me didn’t know what happened. They cried when they saw their brother being beaten.
I immediately opened my mouth and started crying.
The sound of "wow wah wah" came one after another, and the roof of the small courtyard almost fell over.
Mei Zi stood in the courtyard biting her lip and pinching her fingers, not knowing what to do.
Tang Mei swallowed her breath and said, "You should go back first."
"Auntie...I'm sorry, I didn't think about this matter well."
Tang Mei patted her, but she didn't. say.
Mei Zi didn’t know what to do, but staying here wouldn’t help much, so she could only carry the basket and go back first.
After Lu Yuanzheng understood the situation, he opened the door and entered the room, grabbed Lu Miao's wrist and took her to sit aside.
Lu Yuanzheng pulled up Shi An's pants.
Taking care of Lu Miao's physical condition and fearing that Lu Miao would get angry again, Lu Yuanzheng directly took Shi An away.
Tang Mei boiled ginger syrup and brought it into the room:
"You are so heavy that you can't breathe. You have to be careful and drink this quickly. It's so windy outside that you can't go out." I know how to put on some clothes..."
Lu Miao took the steaming enamel jar, her eyes swollen a little uncomfortably.
How could she care at that moment?
Fortunately, this matter turned out to be a misunderstanding in the end. What if there was really a swindler?
She herself couldn’t make up her mind.
Not to mention how to explain it when the child's father comes back.
The same goes for Shi An...
After all this time, I still consider myself an outsider.
Why did he go to pick up coal cores with Mei Zi? Lu Miao knew the reason without thinking deeply.
He is too sensible.
If someone is too sensible, they will not have a sense of belonging and will also create a sense of distance between them and him.
What happened this time really frightened Lu Miao.
Lu Miao blew the hot mist from the enamel jar, and after a while, she almost calmed down.
She took action just now because she was worried and angry. After the emotion passed, she felt that it shouldn't be done.
The boy was afraid of causing trouble to them, so he tried hard to do something to support his family. The basic starting point was good.
It’s just that we are young and don’t think so comprehensively.
After taking a few sips of ginger brown sugar, Lu Miao put down the enamel jar and said:
"Auntie, please call Shi An over. I'll say a few words to him."
Shi An's crying outside has stopped, and Lu Yuanzheng can vaguely hear something whispering.
Tang Mei listened for a while and said:
"Your dad is teaching you, please wait."
Lu Miao nodded and held the enamel jar again Started drinking.
It was windy when I went out just now. I was guarding the warm kang, but it was still a bit chilly behind my back.
This is not a good sign.
Lu Miao drank a lot of ginger brown sugar water. After drinking a jar, he drank another jar. He didn't stop until his body was warm and he started to sweat a little.
At that time, Shi An also finished communicating with his grandfather, and carefully pushed the door in with a red nose.
"Auntie."
Originally, he stopped crying and called "Auntie". The little guy's mouth turned into a tilde again, and he kept trembling with grievance.
Lu Miao softened her heart, beckoned the person to him, then bowed and hugged him, sitting on his lap:
"Do you know you are wrong?"
