Lin Lan thought for a moment: "It was almost four o'clock, and a man carrying a bamboo pole came to my door to buy chickens. I didn't think he looked like a good person."
The sister-in-law next to her also nodded: "There was a man who looked like a hozen and asked me if I had any chickens for sale. I saw that he was snoring, so I closed the courtyard door. After a while, Aunt Su started to look for her home.
Xiaoyong."
"People from the police station are here." Someone shouted, and everyone made a way out.
Lin Lan saw Yao Xiuyun and the policeman named Wang He coming.
Yao Xiuyun nodded slightly to Lin Lan, followed Wang He into the yard, and said to Mrs. Su: "Old man, we have sent people to the bus station and train station to look for the children. Can you tell us in detail what happened?"
Mrs. Su collapsed on the ground and looked at the two people with tearful eyes: "I was weeding in the vegetable field, and my sweet grandson was squatting at the door of the courtyard. I asked him not to play by the ditch. He said that he was watching the ants move, and he also
Come to me and dig up crickets for the ants to eat."
As she spoke, Mrs. Su beat her chest and cried, "It's right at the entrance of the courtyard! How could it be gone in just a blink of an eye?"
The onlookers whispered: "The kidnapper came to the door of the house. Is it possible that the child will be locked in the yard and not allowed to go out?"
"Someone in the second team had more than a dozen ducks stolen last night. Every year when the Chinese New Year comes, there are more people stealing chickens and dogs. Who would have thought that there would be people stealing children!"
"That is, keep a close eye on the little kid at home from now on."
Wang He went to see where Mrs. Su pointed. Sure enough, there were crickets torn into several pieces under the wall, and there were ants crawling into the hole in the wall.
He felt that a child under three years old could not run very far and would be very likely to be picked up by someone.
"Comrade Wang..." Lin Lan stopped him and told him about the man.
The sister-in-law also told Wang He what she saw about the hozen man: "Comrade police, that man is not a good guy at first sight. He probably took Su Xiaoyong away."
Wang He pondered for a moment and said to the two of them: "Please cooperate later and tell our police officers handling the case the physical characteristics of the man."
Lin Lan nodded cheerfully: "Okay, Officer Yao knows where my home is. If you need me, just call me."
Wang He nodded and left the Su family with Yao Xiuyun.
Lin Lan and Li Guizhi walked back, and Li Guizhi sighed: "Mrs. Su has done something wrong now. Her daughter-in-law will definitely blame her for not taking good care of the child."
"Who would have thought of it at the doorstep of their own home?"
Lin Lan thought of the missing children on TV. If they were really lucky enough to be sold to families who missed their sons, they would be afraid that their hands and feet would be broken and they would be sent to big cities to beg.
She decided to start picking up Xiaodouzi from tomorrow on.
Xiaodouzi pulled Lin Lan and asked, "Mom, has Xiaoyong from Granny Su's family been stolen?"
Lin Lan touched his head: "Well! Mom told you that you can't eat what others give you. Except for the third aunt and the eldest aunt, others can't eat even if they know each other, and you can't go out to play with others."
Xiaodouzi nodded seriously: "Remember, I don't eat other people's food."
Not long after Lin Lan and her son returned home, Yao Xiuyun brought a policeman and the sister-in-law to Lin Lan's house.
They carefully asked the two people about the characteristics of the hozen man, and drew a portrait for them to identify. It wasn't until both of them agreed that the painting was correct that the three of them left Lin Lan's house.
Wu Shufen looked at Lin Lan worriedly: "I will pick up Xiaodouzi from tomorrow."
Lin Lan nodded: "I'll take him there by bike."
Early the next morning, after brother Wang Zhixue took away the cakes, Lin Lan pushed his bicycle and took Xiaodouzi to send him to school.
When they went out, they saw Yang Meihua, mother and son walking on the stone bridge.
Yang Meihua pointed to Xiaodouzi sitting in the back seat: "Lin Lan, do you also know?"
Lin Lan nodded: "Yeah! I wonder if the child has been found?"
"No, where can I find it? I heard from Xiang Hua that the Su family was still searching last night. Xiaoyong passed out on the street and was taken to the hospital." Yang Meihua angrily cursed, "God damn human traffickers.
If caught, he should be cut to pieces."
Lin Lan looked at the sky: "I hope I can catch that hozen and rescue Xiaoyong."
Yang Meihua sighed: "Yes! Everyone thinks so and hopes that the child will be found immediately."
"Mom, I'm going with my aunt. I don't want you to send me away." Xiao Kai climbed into the back seat of the car at some point and squeezed together with Xiao Douzi.
Yang Meihua waved her hand cheerfully: "Go! Go! You go with your aunt, and I will pick you up after school at noon."
Lin Lan said to Xiao Yun who was standing there: "Come Xiao Yun, sit on the big bar."
"Thank you, aunt!" Xiaoyun sat on the big bar.
Lin Lan walked over and saw that the younger children were all accompanied by adults. This time something happened to the Su family, everyone became more vigilant.
Lin Lan came back from school and went straight to Limin Street and gave the ironing board drawing to Carpenter Li.
Carpenter Li smiled and said: "It's simple. Just find a large wooden board, plan it and remove the wood thorns, and make a folding bracket underneath."
Lin Lan nodded: "Excuse me, Master Li."
Carpenter Li smiled and said: "It should be."
Lin Lan came out of the shop and walked to the shop next door. She saw the door was half open and there were voices in the shop. She thought they were hanging goods, so she got on the car and rode back.
When it was almost dark, Li Xiangyang arrived at Dongshi. After unloading Liu Da's goods, he drove Duan Hongjun and Liu Biao to Lin Lan's house. As soon as he got out of the car, he heard Wangcai's cheerful cry.
When Lin Lan heard Wangcai's cry, she knew that Li Xiangyang was coming. She put down her work and went to the door of the courtyard, pulled the door latch, and saw the unshaven Li Xiangyang raising his hand and preparing to knock on the door.
Li Xiangyang looked at her with a smile on his face: "Do you know I'm coming?"
"I don't know, Wangcai knows!" Lin Lan smiled and pointed at Wangcai, whose tail was about to break off, "I think it has become a spirit."
Xiaodouzi ran out and grabbed Li Xiangyang's arm: "Uncle Xiangyang, are you back?"
Li Xiangyang rubbed his furry head: "Are you obedient at home?"
Xiaodouzi nodded repeatedly: "I'm obedient." He ran to the big truck and said, "Wow~ It's such a tall truck."
Duan Hongjun, who was unloading the goods with Liu Biao, stood in the carriage and looked at him: "Want to learn to drive? Uncle Duan will teach you."
"I want to learn!" Xiaodouzi responded loudly.
Duan Hongjun smiled and said: "Okay, when you grow up, Uncle Duan will teach you."
Xiaodouzi rolled her eyes at him: "When I grow up, my Uncle Xiangyang can teach me." After that, he helped Li Xiangyang carry things.
Duan Hongjun smiled and said: "Little thing, you are quite cool!"
Everyone moved the goods into the main room and put them away. Lin Lan and Lin Yuezhen poured hot water for the three of them and washed their faces. The handwriting made by Wu Shufen and Qiaohui for the three of them was also served on the table.
Wu Shufen happily said to Duan Hongjun and Liu Biao: "Sorry to trouble you, I don't have much to eat at night, so I cooked you a bowl of red oil."
Duan Hongjun said with a smile: "Mom, that's good! After driving for a few days, I just want to eat something soupy and watery."
Li Xiangyang and Liu Biao came and sat down, and the three of them started eating.
