Chapter 498 The stick is lost!!!
Chapter 498 The stick is lost!!!
Early in the weekend morning, Li Kailang rushed to Xinhua Bookstore.
I went out to work on an assignment on Friday and missed the evening class. I have to make up for it today.
At the same time, something big was about to happen in the yard.
In a corner of an alley, two people were plotting something.
"Brother, I've found out that there are many children in this yard. One of their houses is being renovated recently and we can move in."
"Okay, well done, the same old rules."
"Row."
The two men packed up, changed into work clothes, and headed towards the courtyard.
Just then, Bang Geng ran out.
"What's the fun of hanging out with a bunch of little brats? I'm going to go find someone else to play with."
Seeing a child running out, a boy, they were delighted and walked quickly to Bang Geng.
Bang Geng saw that the two men were wearing work clothes and didn't think much about it. He thought they were renovation workers and avoided them.
They didn't want to avoid it and ran straight into Bang Geng, knocking him to the ground.
"oops!"
"I'm sorry, comrade, are you okay?"
Another partner pretended to scold: "Look at you, you don't even look at the road when you walk, how can you pretend to be a child, pull it up quickly and see if it's okay?"
Passersby thought it was a trivial matter and didn't take it seriously, just going about their business.
Bang Geng didn't feel any pain from being hit, it just felt very uncomfortable.
"Are you blind? Didn't you see anyone?"
"I'm really sorry. I'll apologize to you. I'll give you candy. Can you forgive me?"
"Sugar!" As soon as Banggeng heard the word, his mouth started watering.
He hasn't eaten candy for a long time. The last time he ate candy was the wedding candy given by Xu Damao. It has been three months since he last had it.
"Okay, give me some candy and I won't bother with you." Bang Geng reached out for it.
He searched his body up and down but couldn't find it: "I'm really sorry, I don't have it with me, so you can come home with me to get it. My home is not far from here, at the entrance of the alley."
Bang Geng saw the direction of the finger and saw that the friends he was looking for were on the same road. "I just got some candy, so I'll go find them and play."
Thinking of this, Bang Geng let down his guard and said, "Okay."
"Okay, come with me and go get busy." He pretended to be indifferent and gave instructions to another partner.
After receiving the order, he went in immediately.
When passers-by saw this, they didn't think much about it and let him leave with the stick.
After the two men walked away, the other partner came out of the yard.
As for Bang Geng, the result is predictable, he was kidnapped.
noon.
"Banggeng, go home for dinner!" Qin Huairu shouted towards the yard.
I didn't hear Banggeng coming back for a while, so I called again, and it was still the same.
Suddenly, Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat and she looked around the yard.
"Bang Geng, stop hiding and go home to eat."
When Jia Dongxu heard Qin Huairu's somewhat anxious voice, he quickly got up from the bed and shouted along with her.
"Awesome!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the yard also came out. Qin Huairu went door to door asking if anyone had seen Banggeng. Everyone said they had seen it in the morning but hadn't seen it since.
As for the children, they all said they didn't know and Banggeng didn't play with them.
When asked, Xiaodang didn't know either. Banggeng would never give any delicious food to his sister, so Xiaodang naturally didn't want to play with him.
After asking around, everyone in the yard knew that the stick should be thrown away.
"Bang Geng, my Bang Geng!" Qin Huairu became anxious after asking around but not seeing any.
"Don't worry, I'll go out and look for him. Banggeng must have gone out having fun and didn't hear me go find him." Jia Dongxu had to step forward.
After saying that, he ran out of the yard to look for Banggeng.
"Bang Geng! Bang Geng!" Qin Huairu was still shouting in the yard.
Banggeng is the hope of the Jia family. If he is lost, it will be a huge blow to the Jia family.
Qin Huairu sat at home waiting for a long time before Jia Dongxu finally came. Qin Huairu saw that he was the only one back.
Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat again, and she asked cautiously, "Dongxu, have you found the stick?"
Jia Dongxu had a sad face and said nothing, just shook his head.
"Speak up? Have you found it?" Qin Huairu slapped Jia Dongxu repeatedly.
After being beaten repeatedly, Jia Dongxu did not dare to fight back, and finally sighed: "No."
"Great!" Qin Huairu shouted to the sky, then her legs went limp and she fainted.
"Huai Ru Huai Ru!" Jia Dongxu quickly grabbed Qin Huai Ru and slowly put her on the ground.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Everyone in the yard heard the screams and rushed over, only to see Qin Huairu slumped on the ground.
"Huairu, wake up, wake up?" Jia Dongxu immediately pinched Qin Huairu's philtrum.
After a while, Qin Huairu woke up slowly. Looking at Jia Dongxu in front of her, she immediately thought of Bang Geng, "Bang Geng!"
Jia Dongxu was quick to act and quickly pressed Qin Huairu's philtrum to prevent her from fainting again.
Seeing that Jia Dongxu was such a waste, Qin Huairu no longer had any hope for him.
He rolled and crawled to Yi Zhonghai's feet and said, "Uncle, please save Bang Geng. You are Bang Geng's grandfather, please save Bang Geng?"
"I kowtow to you. We were wrong before. I'm sorry. Please help me find a good joke."
Seeing Qin Huairu screaming and crying, everyone felt the same way.
When a child in the family is missing, everyone will be worried. It is a piece of flesh and blood that you have raised for seven or eight years, and then it disappears just like that. No family will feel good.
Yi Zhonghai quickly pulled Qin Huairu up and said, "Xiao Qin, don't worry. Banggeng is my grandson. I won't sit idly by and watch. We won't sit idly by and watch, right?"
"That's right, Xiao Qin, don't worry, we will find Banggeng."
"Yes, everyone, we will go out and make sure we can find Banggeng, so don't worry."
Although the Jia family is usually not well-liked by everyone, this incident is not a trivial matter. No one can guarantee that their children will not get into trouble, so they try their best to look for them.
Seeing everyone's excitement, Yi Zhonghai immediately ordered: "Okay, let's stop talking here, everyone hurry out and look for it. It's still early, and we will definitely be able to make a fuss about it."
Yi Zhonghai began to give everyone instructions. All the men went out to look, while the women searched around the yard.
The old man stayed in the yard, watching the children, not letting them out or in.
Soon, everyone rushed out of the yard and searched the surrounding alleys.
Qin Huairu learned about Banggeng's situation from other courtyards.
"Great! I saw it again this morning. Oh, and he bumped into someone on his way out."
Someone immediately told everything he had seen in the morning.
Finally, he said, "One of them even walked into your yard. He must have come to work in your yard."
Hearing this, the women looked at each other and then at Qin Huairu. Only the Jia family had workers working in the yard.
Immediately, Qin Huairu took her to find Master Wang and others.
"Master Wang, were your people the ones who kidnapped my son? Ah, I never thought you would be such people."
"I was kind enough to ask you to do some work, but you set your sights on my son. Are you human? Give me my son back!"
Qin Huairu slapped them on the face repeatedly.
They were immediately stunned.
Master Wang quickly reacted: "Boss, what do you mean by that? We sympathize with you for losing your child, but you can't wrongly accuse us like this!"
"You said I wronged you? Someone here saw that it was your people who kidnapped my son!"
Qin Huairu immediately asked the man to tell the story again.
"Do you understand? If you don't hand over my son today, I will never let you go!" Qin Huairu immediately picked up the hammer and stood in front of them.
Master Wang and the others were so scared that they retreated one after another. "Boss, let's talk it over nicely. You said it was my people who kidnapped Bang Geng. What do they look like?"
"I didn't see it clearly, but they have big birthmarks on their faces." "Have birthmarks?" Master Wang and others looked at each other. There were no obvious birthmarks on anyone's face.
“What time did you see it?”
"It's probably around 9 o'clock. I just came back from buying groceries."
At this point, Master Wang was even more certain: "Boss, this was definitely not done by us. We were all working here at 9 o'clock and we didn't even leave the yard. How could he have been kidnapped?"
"Besides, we don't have birthmarks on our faces, so it's even more impossible for us to be like this. If you don't believe me, look at us. Do we have birthmarks on our faces?"
After saying this, Master Wang and the others felt extremely innocent. They were doing a good job, but they were accused for no reason.
Everyone looked at them. It was true that there was no one there, but Qin Huairu was already going crazy. "It was you who did it. Maybe you found someone to kidnap her."
"Boss, you're going too far. We've been here for several days, and it's just us who have been doing the work."
"Look again, we are almost done with your house. If we hire someone else, wouldn't it be a split of our own money? What kind of fool would do such a thing?"
"I don't believe it, you guys did it!" Qin Huairu still didn't believe it even with the facts before her eyes.
"If you don't believe it, call the police and let them explain it!"
"Call the police if you want!"
Soon, the police came, understood the whole story, and determined the time when Banggeng was abducted.
"It seems like this is a gang crime. Not only you have lost children, but several other families have also lost children." The policeman said with a frown.
"Comrade, don't worry, we will definitely help you find your child."
After understanding the situation, the police immediately arranged for people to look for Bang Geng.
This is the old city, and most abducted children are sold to rural areas.
The police also planned to go to the countryside to look for the suspect, but due to limited police force, they could not spread out to search all the surrounding villages, so they could only start from the old city.
On the other side, the man looked around but couldn't find the stick.
Even if someone provided the information, they couldn't find Bang Geng based on the information, as if Bang Geng had disappeared out of thin air.
After searching in vain, the men returned to the yard and sighed along with their daughters.
"Xiao Qin, don't worry. The Chinese crickets are white and plump, and they are easy to recognize. We will definitely find them." Yi Zhonghai persuaded.
The Jia family raised Banggeng very well. The other children were more or less thin and weak, but Banggeng was the only one who was white and plump.
It is rare to find one that eats as well as the Bang Geng at this time, but with such characteristics, it is still easy to find.
Whenever someone encounters it, they will have a certain impression.
But this consolation is obviously useless. If the person is not found, then he is not found.
"Bang Geng, my Bang Geng!" Qin Huairu screamed and finally fainted. No matter how Jia Dongxu pinched her Ren Zhong, it was useless.
"Hurry up, take her to the hospital!" Yi Zhonghai called out, and Jia Dongxu immediately carried her to the hospital.
As soon as the noisy people left, the yard returned to peace. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
When something like this happens, those who have children at home should be careful.
After a while, Yan Bugui suggested: "Everyone, why don't we take turns to guard the gate."
"Today a child was lost, tomorrow someone might steal something else. We still have to be on guard and never let strangers in."
In the past, the gate was guarded to protect the food. Since the food was taken back from each household, no one guards the gate anymore.
"Today is a living lesson. People have entered our yard and no one knows about it."
The people in the back house felt very embarrassed. They were closest to the courtyard gate and yet they didn't notice anything.
It now seems that guarding the gate is still necessary.
"Uncle San is right. I think we should do this." Liu Haizhong agreed.
Although Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are not young anymore, in their teens or so, he doesn't know what will happen if their belongings are robbed, so he still wants to let these two kids take care of him in his old age.
"That's right. Even if it's not for the children, everyone still needs someone to watch over them to prevent anything from going wrong."
Those with children spoke out in agreement, and the others, fearing that something might happen, also agreed.
"Let's continue looking for it later. Let's go back to eat first and think of a solution."
After saying that, Yan Bugui left first.
After such an incident, no one had lunch. Everyone came out to help look for people, and the food was already cold.
After returning home, the parents began to teach their children a lesson.
"Don't go out to play if you have nothing to do, don't eat other people's food, and don't follow others, otherwise you will be the next stickman, and then they will not let you eat and starve you to death."
"Did you hear me!"
“I heard it!” The children were so frightened that they dared not go out casually.
This is still okay, it's just verbal coercion. Liu Haizhong's method is simpler and more brutal. He just beats them up. The boys will be scared and dare not disobey.
The two brothers were teenagers and naturally would not make such a mistake, but they did not understand that it was Banggeng who was abducted, but they were the ones who had to be beaten.
The two could only hide their hatred in their hearts, waiting for it to explode one day.
It’s okay for girls, not many people are willing to marry them.
There are more boys, especially the stick-shaped ones, which are white and plump and can provide support in old age.
After Li Kailang came back, he knew what happened in the yard, but he was indifferent.
"It's a crime to kidnap a gangster. I don't know whose family is so unlucky that they can't provide for their parents in their old age, but instead raise an ungrateful person who ruins the family. That's really blind."
Li Kailang may remember that at the end of the story, Shazhu was driven out of the house by Banggeng and died under the bridge.
Although the current situation has changed drastically, the character of Bang Geng has been determined, and it is only a matter of time before it explodes.
"Pap-ta-ta-ta-"
Suddenly, there were waves of messy footsteps.
Director Wang and other people from the street office came to the yard.
"Everyone, come to the Intermediate Court for the meeting." After saying that, he went straight to the Intermediate Court to wait for everyone.
When this incident happened, the police station was short-staffed and the neighborhood office was notified.
The subdistrict office got the comrades to understand the seriousness of the matter, so they arranged for people to look for him and also mobilized each hospital to send people to look for him.
Suddenly, the number of people looking for Banggen increased dramatically.
Director Wang was resting well at home when he suddenly received this incident, which had a huge impact.
If it is not handled properly, children will not dare to go out, and adults will not dare to let children go out.
I don’t even go to school anymore. Going to school is not as important as having children.
"Everyone is here?"
"Director Wang, Uncle Yi and the Jia family are all in the hospital."
"What's going on? Why did you go to the hospital?" Director Wang frowned, feeling that this was a tricky matter.
"Director Wang, Qin Huairu has fainted. Let's go to the hospital."
"Okay, I get it. Stop talking nonsense. The neighborhood office has already learned about Banggeng's trafficking. They have called on all the courtyards to go out and look for Banggeng."
"Don't worry, everyone. I believe that with everyone's search, Bang Geng will be found, and the gang of traffickers will also be found."
"These days, everyone should keep an eye on their children."
Director Wang said a lot of things just to reassure everyone.
"Teacher Yan, please inform the Jia family and Yi Gong about what was said in the meeting just now."
"Okay, don't worry."
Director Wang nodded and led his people away.
After the people left, Yan Bugui didn't waste any words, "Everyone, the other courtyards have come out to help look for it, we can't be vague, let's follow the old rules, thank you all for your hard work."
Suddenly, everyone went out to look for Banggeng.
In the hospital, Qin Huairu was also rescued. After a checkup, fortunately it was found that she had just fainted due to anger and there was no accident.
Let Jia Dongxu feel relieved.
"Dongxu, you stay here to take care of Xiaoqin. I'll go back to get some food. When Xiaoqin wakes up, you can try to comfort her. Don't be too anxious and let her get herself hurt."
"Everyone is trying their best to find Banggeng, and they will definitely find him. Tell Xiaoqin not to worry too much and just wait for Banggeng to come home."
After giving a few words of advice, Yi Zhonghai left.
