Chapter 436: Looking for someone to borrow a bicycle
"Jin Bao..."
Li Xiu'e held her precious granddaughter's hand, tears flowing silently.
She couldn't eat for the past two days, and her heart felt like a heavy stone was weighing on her.
Jianmin and his wife gave her several children because they trusted her. Now Xiaowu was scolded by her and ran away. If she couldn't get him back, how could she have the face to see Jianmin and his wife?
Every time she thought about this, she felt like she was about to suffocate.
The only thing that supported her was to find Xiao Wu, but after two days of searching, she couldn't find it...
Now holding Jin Bao's hand, Li Xiu'e suddenly felt that the extremely depressed mood in her heart seemed to be slightly relieved.
Bai Lu originally blamed her mother-in-law, but after hearing what Jin Bao said, she also felt that it was not easy for the old man.
My mother-in-law used to live a good life in the countryside, but because she couldn't take care of several children, she came all the way to help take care of them. She took care of them for more than a year.
Hey, having said that, if Xiao Wu got into such a disaster, let alone someone as old as her mother-in-law, I wouldn't know how to educate him.
"Mom, I was too anxious when I spoke just now, I'm sorry."
After Bai Lu apologized, she tried to calm down and said to her mother-in-law: "The top priority now is to find Xiao Wu. Mom, take a good rest at home, eat some food and drink some water, and don't think about anything else. I'm going to find Xiao Wu now."
"
"It's getting dark, bring a flashlight." Lin Yulan suggested.
Bai Lu nodded, found the flashlight from the drawer, and installed two AA batteries.
Seeing that her mother was about to leave with a flashlight, Su Xiaosi rushed forward and said, "Mom, let me go too."
"You stay to take care of your grandma..." Seeing Xiao Si's reluctance, Bai Lu touched his head and said softly, "Xiao Si, you have been looking for Xiao Wu for a day. You must be tired. If you are tired,
I fainted, who can help mom take care of grandma?"
"I'm in good health and won't faint from fatigue. Mom, I want to go with you..."
Jinbao said at this time: "Fourth brother, you take care of grandma, and I will accompany my mother. I will find fifth brother!"
After hearing what her sister said so confidently, Su Xiaosi remembered that Jin Bao could make a group of cats climb into the window and open the door. She thought that it would not be difficult for her to find Xiao Wu, so she reassured and said, "Well, then help mom find Jin Bao."
Bar."
After leaving the family building, it soon became completely dark.
Bai Lu pulled Jin Bao to a fork in the road. Just when he didn't know where to go, Jin Bao slowly closed his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, there was a flock of owls in the sky, countless in number.
Many people nearby pointed to the sky and said in surprise: "Ah! What is that?"
After hearing the news, every household opened their windows and watched the black owls flying under the bright moonlight.
Someone recognized it as an owl and shouted: "It's an owl! Why are there suddenly so many owls?"
"Can the owls be eaten? Someone get the slingshot, I'm going to shoot them all down."
The boys who were preparing to go home for dinner looked at the sky, excited and excited.
The girls were afraid that the owl would bite, so they hurriedly put away their skipping ropes and ran to their homes.
Everyone was talking about it, and some people said worriedly: "This is too strange. Isn't it going to be an earthquake?"
"Don't talk nonsense, our Jinghai City has never had an earthquake since ancient times."
"That's right. It's strange. Why are there so many owls? Where do they come from?"
When everyone was discussing the owl, Bai Lu was slightly surprised for a while, but when she saw the owl flying in all directions, as if looking for something, she immediately reacted and looked at the girl beside her, "Jin Bao,
This is you……"
"Well, mom, let's wait a moment," Jinbao said. "When the owl finds Brother Five, he will notify us."
"Jin Bao, you still have a way." After praising her daughter, Bai Lu subconsciously covered her chest.
She prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that nothing would happen to Xiao Wu.
Nearly half an hour later, an owl flew to Jinbao and said, "Cuckoo, coo, coo..."
It hooted for a while, then flew back into the air and began to circle, while the other owls all disappeared.
"Eh? Where's the owl? Why is it missing?" The boy who was chasing an owl non-stop, shooting several stones in the sky with a slingshot while running, froze on the spot and rubbed his hands.
own eyes.
A second ago, he clearly saw the owl not far above his head, but why did it suddenly disappear out of thin air?
Bai Lu didn't know what the owl said, so she pulled her daughter to a quiet place nearby and asked, "Jin Bao, can you understand what the owl said just now? Do you know where Xiao Wu is now?"
Jinbao nodded and said, "Well, it's quite far..."
"Far? Where is it?"
"Fifth brother has left Jinghai City. No wonder grandma and the others can't find him no matter how hard they look for him," Jinbao said. "He is now walking along the railway track alone."
"What? Railway tracks? He, he doesn't want to find us, does he?"
"It's possible that the fifth brother is really stupid. If he wants to walk to Nanping City on foot, he will probably have to walk for a year."
After saying that, she took her mother's hand and asked: "If we walk, we probably won't be able to catch up with the fifth brother. Mom, can you think of a way to borrow a bicycle? We can catch up with the bicycle in three or four hours."
Chase him."
"Bicycle... I remember that Secretary Zhao of our factory seems to have one, but I don't know if he will borrow it."
"Uh, Mom, the Uncle Zhao you are talking about is not the father of the boy who was pushed into the water by the fifth brother and almost drowned, right?"
After Jinbao asked, seeing his mother nodding, his little brows couldn't help but frown, "Except for him, does no one in the factory have a bicycle?"
Bai Lu said: "When we left the machinery factory last year, Secretary Zhao was the only one in the factory who owned a bicycle, and the former factory director Chen. Now factory director Chen is no longer in our factory. If I remember correctly, it seems that the canteen manager Lao Zhang also has one.
.
But Lao Zhang is a very stingy person. He treats his bicycle as a treasure and wipes it every day. If someone accidentally touches his bicycle, he will quarrel with them for a long time, and he will definitely not lend it to us."
After saying this, she added: "In the past year or so, there are probably other people who have bought bicycles, but I don't know who they are. We just came back after all..."
"Then let's go borrow it from Uncle Zhao. I just heard from grandma that he is very generous and doesn't embarrass the fifth brother. Maybe he will be willing to lend us the bicycle."
Feeling that her daughter was right, Bai Lu took her hand and returned to the family building.
Lin Yulan was walking out with her husband and daughter at this time, preparing to help look for Xiao Wu together. Unexpectedly, just as they were about to reach the gate on the first floor, their family bumped into Bai Lu and her daughter walking in, "Lulu,
Jinbao, why are you back?"
"Aunt Bai," Xu Damei asked, "do you have any news about Xiao Wu?"
Bai Lu didn't hide anything from them, nodded and said: "I suspect that Xiao Wu went to find us along the railway track. He has been walking for two days, and he must have gone very far, so I turned back to ask Secretary Zhao to borrow a bicycle to chase Xiao Wu.
