Chapter 28 Hitchhiking
Diao Yulian, who was suppressed, was slapped several times in a row by Wu Shengli. Her face was swollen and her nose was bleeding. Her face was covered with blood while she struggled. The scene was horrific for a while.
"ah--"
"mom--"
Wu Chunyan, who came out with the food, saw Diao Yulian's face covered in blood. Her heart skipped a beat. She quickly put the food at the door, turned around and rushed back into the house with a spatula.
The spatula was raised, and there was a clanging sound.
"when--"
Wu Shengli was riding on Diao Yulian with Wu Chunyan on his back, beating her violently, when Wu Chunyan suddenly hit him on the head with a spatula, and he instantly saw stars.
"Ouch, ouch—my head—"
"You damned girl, you actually dared to hit your father? I think you've rebelled against the heavens!"
Wu Shengli covered his head with one hand and pointed at Wu Chunyan with the other, saying viciously.
"Tsk, Jiabao is missing, and you don't try to find him. Instead, you hide at home and beat women. Are you still a man?"
Although Wu Chunyan did not have such deep feelings for Diao Yulian, she could not help but intervene when she saw Wu Shengli, a grown man, committing violence against his wife.
Wu Chunyan placed a hot towel on Diao Yulian's bedside table and sighed as she looked at her miserable condition.
No matter what, she couldn't just watch her father beat her mother and do nothing.
"I think you've grown too independent! Humph, I see you don't care at all about losing your family treasure!"
Wu Shengli couldn't help but sneer as he watched his eldest daughter becoming more and more powerful.
"Whatever you think, I've never done anything to let you down!"
"Stop it, stop making trouble. It's getting late. We still have to wait for news from the police tomorrow!"
"If you have the energy, you might as well go find someone outside."
Wu Chunyan looked coldly at Wu Shengli, who was lying at the foot of the bed and groaning, and Diao Yulian, who was dazed and silly, and then turned around and went into the house to rest.
I can’t look at it anymore, if I look at it again my fists will get hard again.
…
The next morning, Lin Xiaotong was eating breakfast while listening to Gao Xiulan chattering about Wu Jiabao's kidnapping.
"Mom, was the Wu family's child really kidnapped?"
Lin Xiaotong was at work yesterday and didn't know what was going on in the yard.
"It's true. The police came yesterday after such a commotion."
"I don't know if this child can be found. I don't know where he was abducted to."
Although Gao Xiulan and Diao Yulian usually don't get along, and they always start arguing after just three sentences when they meet, no matter how much they argue, they still don't want the child to get lost.
"Mom, don't worry. The police are here. Their expertise will definitely be better than us groping around on our own."
Lin Xiaotong could only say some nice things to comfort Gao Xiulan.
"You know what? Er Nengzi was very smart yesterday. He immediately took Wu Chunyan to report to the police."
Gao Xiulan really felt that what Jin Qiaofeng's Ernengzi did yesterday was beyond reproach.
"Brother Ernengzi is a warm-hearted person, although he can be a bit gossipy."
Lin Xiaotong nodded affirmatively.
"Mom, I'm going to work after I finish eating."
Lin Xiaotong packed up everything and pushed her bicycle to the front yard as usual.
"Hey! Xiaotong, ride slower!"
After Gao Xiulan finished speaking, she looked at the closed door of Wu's house, sighed, and went back to her room to do her work.
…
The police station's meeting room is not big, but it is full of people.
"Captain Li, we've searched the area around the compound several times last night, but we haven't found any new suspicious individuals."
Xiao Qi looked at the record book of yesterday's search, scratched his head, and asked.
The person could not be found, and the peddler had no obvious identification characteristics.
In an era without surveillance, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, which is extremely difficult.
"The kidnapper must have heard the news and hid himself in advance."
"I suspect the kidnappers will make a move in the next two days and escape from this unsafe place while we're not paying attention."
"You mean... the kidnappers will take people out of the province?"
"If we just have one more child for no reason, other families will eventually notice it."
"Send a group of people to the critical intersection immediately. I will report this matter to my superiors immediately."
"yes!"
Li Gang quickly arranged the task and immediately made a phone call.
…
"Mrs. Li, Brother Qiang has packed his things. Let's go quickly. I see there's no one outside now."
Before daybreak, Hei Mozi pretended to be in a hurry to pee and went to the toilet. After checking the area outside, he came back and found no one searching, so he hurried back to report the news.
"Let's go now, Mom. Take your things with you."
Qiangzi made himself look honest, but he stuffed the drug into the mouth of the sober Wu Jiabao.
When they woke up in the morning and found the cloth strips damp, they knew that the little fat boy had woken up after the effect of the medicine wore off last night.
Qiangzi ignored Wu Jiabao's frightened struggle and successfully fed him a sleeping pill. After waiting for a while, Wu Jiabao's eyes began to blur and he soon fell asleep.
"Okay, in order not to delay things, he should fall asleep. Mom, Black Mole, let's go."
"Wait, don't be impatient. His clothes are too eye-catching. If he goes out with such nice clothes, it will be exposed."
Grandma Li tied the tattered headscarf on her head, looked at Wu Jiabao, who was wearing clothes without patches, and spoke.
"Mom was right. It almost ruined everything."
Qiangzi bent down and picked up the unconscious little fat boy. When he was about to put him in the bamboo basket, he stopped and shifted his gaze to the little fat boy.
The kidnapper trio always appeared on the street in a ragged and miserable image.
Especially since Grandma Li was wearing a lot of patches, and she was bringing a fat kid with her who was wearing clothes without patches, she would be exposed.
"Black Mole, go to the inner room and look for patched clothes to put on this little fat boy."
"Hey, let's take this one. It doesn't look very impressive."
Black Mole rummaged through the bar and took out a set of shabby gray clothes.
Grandma Li took the old clothes handed to her by Hei Mole and quickly put them on the little fat boy.
As expected, clothes make the man, and the fat boy in patched clothes lost his luster in an instant.
"Walk!"
The three of them went out quickly.
…
"Mom, how long will it take?" Qiangzi asked with gritted teeth and swallowed his saliva.
Qiangzi was almost exhausted from carrying the little fat boy on his back. This kid was really heavy.
Qiangzi carried the child on his back for more than two hours and his shoulders were almost sore.
"We're almost there, right now. That big truck in front is it."
Grandma Li was carrying a small bag on her back. She glanced at the fat boy who was sleeping soundly and felt a surge of anger in her heart.
"Oh, big sister, I've been waiting for you. Why did you come just now? I've been waiting for more than ten minutes."
The middle-aged man leaning against the big truck looked at the people who arrived late and started complaining.
"Brother, I'm so sorry. My kid got dizzy when he woke up this morning. I was so scared that I rushed to get him some sleep. It's because our family is poor and we don't have enough to eat. I rushed but still came a little late. I'm so sorry!"
Grandma Li spoke in a gentle voice and apologized to others immediately.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and get in the car. I have a load of cotton that needs to be delivered quickly. I promised to give you guys a ride, so hurry up and get in."
The back of the truck was filled with snow-white cotton.
