Chapter 380 I'll hold you and we'll be at the hospital soon
"I heard that things have been a bit unsettled during this period."
"Important cultural relics have been stolen in the provincial capital. We are searching in secret now."
"Where did you get the information?" Lin Yunchu asked curiously.
"It's just hearsay." Chen Xiaomei said mysteriously, "But some people say that the theft of cultural relics is a false impression, and that something more important happened. No one knows the details, and ordinary people like us can't get in touch with this level."
Lin Yunchu smiled, "Xiaomei, I think it's a waste of talent for you to stay in our Economics and Management Department. You should go to the Journalism Department."
"You're being kind. I don't really like news."
Chen Xiaomei smiled and said, "We live in the school and it's very safe. You have to go back and forth every day, so you should be careful."
"Don't worry. I live very close to the school."
Lin Yunchu replied that it is better to believe something than not to believe it. Chen Xiaomei reminded her of this, and she felt that she should indeed be more careful, especially since he was bringing three children with him.
These three children must be well protected.
"Mom, I feel like the streets are a little weird lately. They're not safe."
Chen Xiaomei had just finished talking to Lin Yunchu at school, and as soon as she got home, Pei Ankang spoke to her cautiously.
"I think so too. When we came back today, we saw several groups of police walking on the street. They seemed to be catching some bad guys."
Pei Haonan continued.
“……”Since both children said so, Lin Yunchu had to take it seriously.
Pei Ankang and Pei Haonan both have a keen sense of the external environment. They can both sense the danger, so the streets must be uneasy during this period.
"Then everyone must be careful and safe. When you go to school as a group of three, you must come back together as well. Got it?"
"If there is nothing else, don't leave the house."
Lin Yunchu told them, "I will buy everything the family needs during this period. After this storm passes, we can go out and play again."
"good."
Pei Ankang nodded.
In fact, he didn't tell Lin Yunchu that he always felt someone was following them these two days.
He even felt that this person might be staying near their home, secretly spying on them.
But he didn't have enough evidence for this matter and didn't want to cause panic.
There are still many police patrols on the streets.
Everyone vaguely felt that something might have happened, but no one asked.
Lin Yunchu didn't feel nervous about this. She was very familiar with this situation. When she met Pei Huaiyuan, the entire street in Yue City was like this.
The whole city is on alert.
If she guessed correctly, it should be an important person carrying out an important mission.
Pei Ankang and the others were all very obedient. After she gave her instructions, they hardly ever went out.
The neighbors around her are also very vigilant. In the entire residential building, many people also rent houses like them. Everyone is very friendly and enthusiastic. When the adults are not at home, they will pay close attention to other children and take care of each other.
"Mom, I have evening classes tonight. I won't be home until very late. There is no rice at home. I will go out to buy some rice and will be back soon. Please don't leave the house."
After school that day, Pei Ankang gave instructions to Pei Haonan and Pei Yucheng.
After the two nodded, Pei Ankang left the house.
Before he even reached the department store, he felt someone following him.
He walked very fast at one moment and very slowly at another.
When he turned the corner, he immediately stood by the wall at the corner, then rushed out and pushed the person who had been following him to the ground, and asked with heavy eyes, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
"Oh, you little brat! It's me! Don't you recognize me?"
The man was in his forties, looked sloppy, had very long hair that was dirty and messy like a chicken coop, wore ragged clothes, his trousers had holes at the knees, and had a pair of straw sandals on his feet.
His face was dark.
Pei Ankang looked at the person in front of him quietly, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
This familiar feeling, however, made him feel very distant.
"Who are you?"
"You don't recognize me anymore, look at me again!"
The man came to check his dark face and said, "I am your second uncle, your real second uncle! You have only been away from home for four or five years, there is no reason for you not to know me!"
"I don't have a second uncle!"
Pei Ankang said in a cold voice after recognizing the person in front of him.
After his mother died, the three brothers lived with their grandmother, and their life was extremely hard. His second uncle was lazy and did no work at home.
Grandma couldn't do anything about him.
Later, seeing that life at home was too difficult and he had three children, he ran away to hang out.
Whenever he couldn't make ends meet, he would go home and steal things.
He remembered the most vivid experience when he and his grandmother worked hard to harvest corn from the mountains in August, dried it, and prepared to use it as food for the winter.
The corn had just been packed and put into the granary when his second uncle sneaked back in the middle of the night, carried all the corn out, and sold it to others at a low price.
Grandma was so angry that her eyes were filled with tears and she kept calling him a prodigal son.
That year, the grain harvest was poor.
The amount of millet distributed to each household was very small, and after winter came, they really were short of food.
He lived with no food to eat and was starving every day. His two younger brothers were even thinner. His grandmother was so distressed that she went out to beg.
In the end, grandma didn't survive that winter.
Not long after that, news of his father's death came from the army.
When the troops arrived, his second uncle came back again.
He took his father's pension and ran away.
Leave their three children at home and don't care whether they live or die.
Later, Pei Huaiyuan found them and took away their three dying children.
Life was so hard back then. The two younger brothers were very young and were often bullied by the villagers because they had no parents. The adults in the family were always threatening them, so they selectively forgot about the past days.
He didn't tell them the truth, he just hoped that they could grow up happily.
However, he didn't expect that within a few years he would meet Hu Tiezhu again.
"Boy, you've been living like a city dweller and now you've forgotten your roots, haven't you?"
"No matter how fancy you are dressed now, you are still the son of our Hu family."
Hu Tiezhu said.
Pei Ankang ignored him and said, "Whatever you say."
Then keep walking.
"Hey, you can't do this. You are already eleven or twelve years old. Although you are half an adult, you can't be an ungrateful person."
Hu Tiezhu called Pei Ankang.
"If we talk about ungrateful people, who is the ungrateful one between the two of us? Who stole the corn that grandma worked so hard to grow and sold it? Who made our family have no food to eat in the cold winter? Who is so heartless that he has to suffer so hard all his life?"
Pei Ankang asked back.
Hu Tiezhu didn't expect Pei Ankang to remember so many things. "You are such a child, holding a grudge! People should be broad-minded. Your father defended the country, why do you hate your second uncle all day long?"
"You still know that my father defended the country? Do you have the nerve to mention it? Get away from me and don't show up in front of me!"
Pei Ankang clenched his fists, his face full of anger.
"Why should I leave? I won't leave! You are my biological nephew, and your adoptive parents are my biological brothers and sisters-in-law. Ankang, it's almost winter, and you see how ragged your uncle's clothes are. It's very cold in the cold winter. Let me live with you."
Hu Tiezhu came over with a playful smile.
"You wish! If you really come, I will beat you to death!"
Pei Ankang's eyes were shining coldly, like a monster in a dark forest.
"You dare! Hit me if you can."
Hu Tiezhu walked up to Pei Ankang.
Pei Ankang has grown a lot taller over the years, and the child who is over eleven years old is almost as tall as him.
But he was not afraid at all. I don't know how many times this little guy had been beaten by him when he was a child.
"What am I afraid of?"
Pei Ankang looked at the person who came to him, swung his fist and knocked him to the ground.
"What qualifications do you have to live with us? How dare you come to us?"
"As an adult, you have never taken on family responsibilities. You bully the elderly and children. Now you want to live with us and even use my Uncle Pei and Aunt Pei's house!"
"Just because I couldn't beat you before doesn't mean I can't beat you now. You've been worthy of a beating for years, and now that you've come to me, I'll grant your wish!"
Pei Ankang was extremely angry when he thought about how he stole the corn, leaving them with nothing to eat in the winter, and how his grandmother had to beg and eventually died miserably.
He stepped on Hu Tiezhu and kicked him hard.
After kicking him, he sat on Hu Tiezhu and punched him in the face.
Hu Tiezhu was beaten beyond recognition by him.
He just couldn't understand how such a half-grown boy could be so good at fighting.
He had no way to fight back!
"The more you beat me, the more I will come to you. Your new foster mother looks so young and beautiful, believe me or not..."
"Bang!"
Pei Ankang punched him in the face, and blood spurted out of Hu Tiezhu's mouth, along with his teeth.
"If you dare to touch my Pei family, I will knock out all your teeth and throw you into the mountains to feed the wild boars and wolves!"
Hu Tiezhu was stunned again and felt that he didn't know the child in front of him at all.
This is no longer the good boy who did whatever he was told to do when he was a child.
Hu Ankang is now a wild wolf.
"Leave now if you want to live."
"Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll continue to beat you!"
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving...please stop hitting me." Hu Tiezhu begged.
Looking at Hu Tiezhu's fleeing back, Pei Ankang's eyes were indescribably heavy.
He felt...
He had a bad feeling.
"Help!"
"Someone is stealing things, someone is stealing children!"
Just as Hu Tiezhu was beaten away, a very familiar voice was heard from not far away.
Lin Yunchu's.
His mother was in danger.
Pei Ankang followed the sound and ran wildly.
Afraid that I would be late.
When he ran to the scene, there were already quite a few people gathered there.
His bicycle fell to the ground, and he pushed through the crowd and rushed in.
In the crowd, I saw Lin Yunchu holding a little boy. The little boy was crying loudly, with fear and terror on his face.
His mother seems to be very good at saving children.
"Wife, the man has been caught, are you okay?"
Another familiar voice came.
Pei Ankang saw a tall figure walking out from the crowd.
It’s Pei Ankang.
"I'm fine, just this kid?"
Lin Yunchu held the little boy's hand and asked the crowd, "Does anyone know him? Whose child is this?"
No one answered.
"We haven't even seen this baby. There's no reason for a boy to be thrown away."
"This boy is so good-looking, I wonder where he came from? Baby, where are your parents? Why are you here alone?"
The little boy hid behind Lin Yunchu and cried even harder.
"Take this child to the police station."
Pei Huaiyuan and Lin Yunchu said.
Lin Yunchu nodded.
"Ankang, why are you here too?"
Pei Huaiyuan discovered Pei Ankang the first time.
"Well, I came out to buy something."
"Why are your hands a little bruised?" Lin Yunchu noticed the scars on his body.
"I..." Pei Ankang thought for a moment and said, "Just now someone tried to rob me of the money I was carrying, and I fought him. That person didn't expect me to fight back, so he ran away in fear, and I didn't catch him."
"This is too dangerous. Next time if you encounter something like this, run away first and don't fight with others, okay? No matter what happens, you must ensure your own safety." Lin Yunchu said worriedly.
Pei Ankang nodded, his heart full of emotion.
His second uncle only wanted to rely on them, harm them, and suck their blood; Pei Huaiyuan and Lin Yunchu, who had no blood relationship with him, treated them as their own children and were afraid that he would get hurt.
"Ankang, go home first. Your mother and I will take the child to the police station."
Pei Huaiyuan turned around and said to Pei Ankang.
Pei Ankang nodded.
"No, the streets are not safe now. Ankang met bad guys when he came here. How can we let him go back alone? What if he meets bad guys again?" Lin Yunchu objected.
"Then you and Ankang go back. If not, then the three of us will take the child to the police station."
Pei Huaiyuan frowned. What should they do if they meet bad guys on the road?
"Okay!" Lin Yunchu nodded, and then felt a dull pain in his stomach.
It feels like having your period, but more painful.
There is a feeling of pain as if the whole belly is stretched.
A dense feeling of pain spread throughout my body, and my forehead was covered with sweat.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?"
"I feel a little pain in my stomach..." Lin Yunchu said with difficulty.
"Can you help call the police station and ask them to come and pick up the child?" Pei Huaiyuan said to the people around him, "My wife is not feeling well. I have to take her to the hospital right away."
"It shouldn't be a big deal. It's normal for women to have stomachaches occasionally. I'll sit here for a while and it should be fine." Seeing Pei Huaiyuan's nervous expression, Lin Yunchu comforted him.
"I'm sweating from the pain, how can I be okay?"
Pei Huaiyuan insisted on taking her for a check-up.
"Comrade, take your wife first. We are all merchants here, and we must send this child to the police station."
"Thank you."
Pei Huaiyuan took Lin Yunchu away, but when they were about to leave, he found that Lin Yunchu had been holding his stomach and couldn't stand up at all.
"..." Pei Huaiyuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and said with a trembling voice, "Wife, hold on a little while, I'll carry you, and we'll be at the hospital soon."
