Chapter 31 Is the child okay?

"You're a fucking piece of trash!" Ye Qinglan responded, stepped over his hand, and ran after another person.

When the others rushed over, Ye Qinglan had already come back holding Hu Tou and dragging another person, and threw the person in front of them.

"Comrade Lin, is the child okay?" Comrade Li asked.

Ye Qinglan turned his tiger head towards them and said, "See for yourself."

At first glance, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The child's cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, and he looked like he had a big head and a small body. His mouth was covered in blood, and his clothes were torn beyond recognition. Even the refugees were not that miserable.

According to the time calculation, the child has been wandering in the mountains for nearly half a month. Crab Mountain is not high, about a few hundred meters above sea level, and there are no big beasts on it, only some weasels, pheasants and other animals.

But even so, it's still scary at night. How has this child been doing these days? What has he been eating and drinking?

Many police officers have children at home, and they felt very sad when they saw this.

"Go down the mountain first. The child must be sent to the hospital first."

When Ye Qinglan passed by the telescope man while holding Tiger Head, he saw his hand placed aside and stepped on it again: "If you don't know how to use your hands, you don't need them."

“Ahhh—”

There was another heart-wrenching scream.

It was nearly five o'clock when we got to the bottom of the mountain. The villagers had not yet dispersed and were gathered near the police car. Seeing them coming down the mountain with children and people tied up, they all looked out curiously.

The group got on the car and headed straight to Shengnan County Hospital.

The child was given anesthesia and suffered from malnutrition and fever.

When Hu Tou woke up, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. When he saw the doctor and Ye Qinglan, he thought he had arrived in heaven.

"Uncle, brother, is this heaven? Has my mother come? Can I see her?"

Ye Qinglan: "This is not heaven, this is a hospital."

The little tiger's mouth suddenly twitched and his eyes were filled with tears.

But he still whispered to the doctor: "Uncle, I'm not sick, I don't need an injection, I don't have any money to give you."

The doctor felt that his soul had been severely damaged.

He sighed: "Adults all over the world cannot tolerate a child, and even dare not hospitalize a sick child. This is the tragedy of humanity."

Then he looked at Hu Tou and said, "Good boy, don't worry. Uncle doesn't want your money. I will give it to you."

"Doctor, I am his relative. I will give the money to him. Thank you for your kindness. When he gets better, I will take him away from here. Not all human beings are human beings. The world will definitely get better and better. You don't have to worry. We must believe in the country." Ye Qinglan said.

The doctor couldn't help but think of the war years, and then thought about the present, it was indeed the case.

He nodded: "You are right. He has been hungry for too long. Let's give him something light to eat first. He can't stand eating something too greasy."

"Okay, thanks for the reminder."

“It should be.”

The doctor turned and went out.

Ye Qinglan touched Hu Tou's little head and said, "I'll take care of the money."

Hu Tou looked at him and blinked.

The little guy said in a milky voice: "Brother, are you really my relative?"

"I guess so. Don't you call me brother?"

After hearing Ye Qinglan's question, Hu Tou couldn't hold back any more. All the grievances he had felt for so many days suddenly came flooding back to him, and he burst into tears.

He sobbed and complained to Ye Qinglan, saying that his uncle and aunt beat him, then that his uncle wanted to sell him, and that the family who bought him said that they would make him work like a cow in the future. He was a human being, how could a human being be treated like a cow? He didn't want to wear a cow's skin and be treated like a cow, so he ran away.

Seeing Hu Tou crying, Ye Qinglan was silent for a moment, then reached out and gave the child a hug.

And tell him: "Don't cry, the police have already avenged you. It was wrong for them to sell you out, so your uncle has been arrested. Listen to the doctor's advice at your uncle's place, take your injections and eat well, and when you grow up you can fight back yourself, okay?"

"Um."

Hu Tou nodded heavily.

Ye Qinglan smiled.

Just as the two of them finished talking, the two police officers from Pingxin County who had come with Ye Qinglan came back. They had gone to the Shengnan County Public Security Bureau to listen to the results of the interrogation.

Ye Qinglan said to them, "You're back just in time. Please help me watch him for a while. I'll go get him something to eat."

"I'll go buy it," said one of the comrades, whose surname was Sun. He also said, "Let Xiao Wei tell you about the case."

Ye Qinglan thanked him.

At this time, Xiao Wei told her that the people they met on Crab Mountain this afternoon were gangsters from Haicheng. The man leading the group with the telescope was called Kunpeng, and he was one of the bandits who smashed and looted houses a few years ago.

The reason they caught the tiger head was because Kunpeng loved playing poker. After losing all his family property, he still wanted to gamble, but he had no money.

The lackey next to him happened to be from the village next to Hutou and his gang. He gave him an idea, saying that there was a strong kid in their village whose parents had both passed away and whose uncle disliked him. If he was caught and sold to those childless people, he would definitely make a lot of money, and his uncle would not look for the kid, but would just feel that he had gotten rid of a burden.

A few people got together and came to arrest people.

But when we got there we heard that Hutou was missing.

But the lackey thought it was impossible that the child was lost. So he got the truth out of the child of Uncle Hutou's family, saying that the child was sold!

Then we followed this line and found Crab Mountain.

After listening to this, Ye Qinglan asked: "Where did he get the gun? Where did he get the telescope?"

"It was hidden by a man named Mao Xi who was close to Kun Peng. Mao Xi was one of the bandits who smashed and looted things a few years ago. He hid a lot of good things. The telescope was stolen from a teacher's house. The gun was borrowed from someone who gambled with him."

Ye Qinglan thought about it and said, "I see Kunpeng's posture of drawing the gun is quite handy, like an experienced gun user. And the person who borrowed the gun is also quite suspicious. Comrade Wei, I have to ask Shengnan County and Hepingxin County to investigate this matter in detail and not let go of any potential bad guys."

After all, she is not a local police officer, so even if she has doubts, she cannot investigate here.

Comrade Wei nodded: "Don't worry about that. We will investigate thoroughly and will not let go of any suspicious points."

After a while, Comrade Sun, who had gone out to prepare the meal, came back and bought a bowl of vegetable porridge.

Hutou hasn't eaten properly for many days, but he can still enjoy the vegetable porridge so deliciously.

Not long after eating, I fell asleep again and kept calling for my mother in my dream.

Maybe it was due to his congenital constitution, the child was full of energy the next day. The only sad thing about him was that he was so thin.

But the strength is really great!

Ye Qinglan witnessed it with his own eyes, and he lifted up Comrade Wei, a tool, with both hands. You know, this was when he was still thin and weak, and I dare not imagine how strong he would be when he grows up.

After the two police officers left, Ye Qinglan asked Hutou quietly with a smile: "Hutou, are you willing to go home with your brother? There are many PLA uncles in your brother's home. You won't be afraid of bad guys there, and you can always have enough food. Do you want to go?"
