Chapter 263: 3 Little Ones Run Away from Home
Chapter 263: 3 Little Ones Run Away from Home
Early in the morning three days ago, Zedu City was almost turned upside down by the police and PLA soldiers.
The three little ones from the He family suddenly disappeared.
In the morning, the nanny went upstairs to wake the children up for breakfast. When she opened the door, she saw the bed was empty. She reached out to touch the quilt, which was also cold.
The nanny didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that the three little ones had secretly gone to her bed to sleep because they missed Zuo Zixuan.
Then he turned and went to Zuo Zixuan's room.
When I pushed the door open and saw the quilt on the bed was neatly folded, I became a little anxious.
Where have all the children gone so early in the morning?
She stumbled downstairs, shouting, "The children are gone..."
The He family members who were having breakfast in the living room were so frightened when they heard that their child was missing that they quickly stood up from the dining table and ran upstairs.
The whole family searched the house thoroughly but couldn't find the child.
Unable to find it at home, he ran to the military area to look for it.
But after searching the family area and asking everyone, there was no news about the three children.
Everyone immediately suspected He Chu.
Suspecting that she was still harboring evil intentions, she attacked Qiao Qingyu again, so she dealt with the other two as well.
It's really unfair to He Chu.
She didn't even get up last night, so how could she hit several children?
Fortunately, Qiao Xinghua testified, otherwise she would never be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Since this was not done by He Chu, where could the child go?
There are soldiers on duty at the gate of the military family area 24 hours a day, so the children definitely can't get out.
The family did not give up and ran out to look for it twice more.
Still not found.
They couldn't find anyone in the family area, and they suspected that he had been taken out of the family area by someone with ulterior motives.
There are three children, two are over five years old and one is just over two years old, and each of them has a remarkable status.
What would happen if this person was kidnapped?
There was really no other way, so Mr. He had to ask Commander Yang to send someone out to look for him.
Qiao Xinghua also arranged for the police to go out and search for him.
People from both sides searched for most of the day and almost turned the entire city of Ze City upside down, but they still couldn't find any information about the children.
By the afternoon, there was still no news, and the He family members were so anxious that they had big blisters on the corners of their mouths.
Ning Rong cried so much that her eyes were swollen like peaches.
"The three children are missing. How am I going to explain this to Xuanxuan when she comes back?"
He Fan sat by the side, feeling extremely distressed.
"Stop crying, okay? Aren't you looking for it?
The kids are all very smart, nothing will happen to them."
"Wow... I don't know if these guys have the self-defense spray made by Xuanxuan."
"Self-defense spray?"
He Fan suddenly stood up from the sofa and hurried to Zuo Zixuan's pharmacy.
Seeing how anxious he was, Qiao Xinghua also ran to the pharmacy.
He Fan opened the drawer where Zuo Zixuan kept the finished medicines and took inventory.
Sure enough, three bottles of self-defense spray, a bottle of hemostatic medicine, a bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine, a bottle of bruises medicine, and a roll of bandages and adhesive tape were missing.
He Fan narrowed his eyes and stared at the drawer without blinking.
"What's wrong He Fan?"
Qiao Xinghua walked into the pharmacy and asked.
"Brother Xinghua, I suspect that the three children were not abducted, but ran away from home on their own."
After saying that, he turned around and ran to the yard to check. Sure enough, the three tricycles placed under the pavilion were gone.
“These kids have been planning to run away from home for some time.
A few days ago, Qingyu asked his father to help him find a way to connect Haichuan and Dongdong's tricycles to the back of his bicycle.
Dad didn’t think much of it at the time. He thought it was just a few kids who wanted to string the bikes together and ride them in a row for fun.
They welded a few sections of iron pipes onto the bikes, put on flexible iron chains, and strung the three bikes together.
You can ride them together or separately. "
"But where are the children going if they run away from home?"
He Fan looked towards the door, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes wide and said:
"Could they have gone to look for my second brother and his wife?"
"What?" Qiao Xinghua was shocked.
“I think it’s very likely that they went to look for my second brother and his wife.
A few days ago, Haichuan kept telling me that he dreamed every night that his second sister-in-law was covered in blood. He was very scared and worried.
I guess they went to Xiangzhou."
Qiao Xinghua suddenly felt his mind go blank, and he was staggering and almost fainted.
What if something happens to such a young child on the way?
He Fan quickly turned around and went back to the house, opened the snack cabinet, and found that all the snacks and milk powder were gone.
He ran to the children's room and opened the drawer where they usually kept their pocket money. As expected, all the change was gone.
He ran downstairs with a "dang dang dang" sound, walked to the coffee table, opened the drawer, and sure enough, the map inside was gone.
"It's confirmed. These kids must have gone in the direction of Xiangzhou."
He quickly stood in front of the map hanging in the living room, pointed at several roads leading to Xiangzhou, and analyzed the route the children were most likely to take.
There are three roads from Zedu to Xiangzhou, including two highways and a country road.
Given Qiao Qingyu's intelligence, he would definitely choose a straight-line road and would not take a country road.
Firstly, the country roads are difficult to travel on. Secondly, there are too many uncertain and dangerous factors once you enter the woods, which is too dangerous for them.
Not only is the road spacious, but you can also ask for help at any time if you encounter any problems.
He Fan pointed on the map.
"I bet they took this route, and at their speed, at the fastest possible, they probably haven't left this area yet."
"Let's go and chase him..." Qiao Xinghua took the car keys and called He Fan and Bai Zongde to go out.
Ning Rong wiped her tears and followed after him.
He Fan had overestimated the speed of those guys. As a result, it only took him more than 20 minutes to drive from the family quarters. After asking a few people along the way, he caught up with them at the edge of the suburbs.
Qiao Xinghua and his companions were sitting in the car. From a distance, they saw Qiao Qingyu and He Haichuan spreading the map under a big tree, squatting on the ground, and pointing at it with their hands.
The little fat boy was holding a bottle of milk and dozing off on the tricycle behind them.
Qiao Xinghua parked the car at a certain distance from them and then walked over quietly.
"Brother Qingyu, we have been walking for a long time, how come we have only walked this little bit on the map?
If we continue like this, when will we be able to rescue Mom?"
He Haichuan pinched his two little fingers and gestured, saying with some disappointment.
Qiao Qingyu squatted on the ground and looked at the map. He gestured on it a few times with his little hands and then counted with his fingers.
"Oh, at this rate, we may not be able to reach Xiangzhou until next year."
"What should I do? I've been getting more and more anxious these past two days. I always feel like something is going to happen to my mom in the next few days."
He Haichuan said with a worried look on his face.
"How about we take a bus or train instead?" Qiao Qingyu suggested.
"I checked. It takes three days and three nights to get there by bus. It only takes two days and two nights to get there by train."
“But there were a lot of bad guys on the bus, and it was dangerous for us kids to get on, especially since we were carrying stuff.
He has to drink milk twice a day, which is very troublesome.
Moreover, I heard that apart from urban transportation, long-distance buses and trains require letters of introduction, otherwise you can’t even buy a ticket.”
Qiao Qingyu patted He Haichuan on the shoulder like a little adult and said, "I have experience in this matter."
After saying that, he unzipped the chest of his overalls and took out a handful of money.
“We paid money and found an adult to take us on the train.
As long as you have money, nothing is impossible.
Xuanxuan's mom said, this is called money power!"
"Is that okay?"
He Haichuan said hesitantly.
He Fan and his companions squatted behind them, listening to their conversation, and they did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"I don't think it will work..."
Before Qiao Qingyu could say anything, Qiao Xinghua's voice came from behind him.
He Haichuan and Qiao Qingyu were so scared that they turned their heads around quickly.
The little fat boy was already fast asleep in Ning Rong's arms.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"If we don't come, you three are going to rely on these three broken cars to travel the world?"
"My Xuanxuan mom is in trouble. We have to go save her."
Qiao Qingyu said with a righteous look on his face.
"You're still planning on hiring an adult to take you on the train. There are so many adults at home who are free, why don't you ask them to?"
Qiao Qingyu crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a look of distrust:
"Looking for family members, you won't take us to Xiangzhou to find Xuanxuan's mother."
Qiao Xinghua pulled Qiao Qingyu into his arms and hugged him, his eyes red as he said:
"Is dad so untrustworthy in your heart?
You would rather spend money to hire someone else to do something than tell your dad?"
He Fan also squatted in front of He Haichuan, holding his little hand and said:
"Haichuan, I'm sorry, Third Uncle was careless.
Next time if you miss your parents, you can tell your uncle and he will find a way to contact them and make sure they are safe.
Then we'll discuss whether or not to go find them.
You can’t run out on your own initiative again.”
He Haichuan pouted and apologized softly:
"I'm sorry, Uncle San, I made you worry..."
He Fan picked the person up and said, "Let's go back and try to contact them first. See if we can get in touch with them."
When they got home, the elders of the He family saw the children coming back and they cried and laughed.
No one said a bad word about the children, let alone hit them.
They all speak in a nice and reasonable manner.
He Chu didn't dare to say anything directly. Anyway, as a stepmother, whatever she said would be wrong. She might as well just keep quiet and say nothing.
He Fan did as he promised. After returning home, he asked his father to call the Tan City Military Region.
The day before, He Yi and his men had an accident in Tan City. Uncle He called back to tell them about it and also asked the Tan City Military District to arrange a car to take them to the town.
They called just to see if He Yi and the others had left.
The call was directly made to the leader of the Tan City Military Region.
The leader said that He Yi and his companions had been safely sent to the town yesterday.
He also mentioned the strange things in Gege Village and the seven-day appointment with He Yi.
After the leader of the Tan City Military Region said this, He's father hung up the phone. He suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
After Mr. He hung up the phone, he immediately called the mayor of the town.
People in the town said that He Yi and his group had left in the morning, and they also mentioned the strangeness of Gege Village.
After hanging up the phone, Mr. He thought about it and decided to let the men in the family go, just to be prepared.
"Uncle San, you have to take me with you, otherwise you can't enter Gege Village."
He Haichuan sat next to He Fan and pulled his sleeve.
