Resist the world, but I spread the curse

Chapter 28

On the Lihuang National Highway, a man with dark and dry skin was squatting down to eat today's lunch on the temporary parking lane.He wolfed it down, his eyes swept over the back and forth traffic, his yellow and cracked fingers carefully protected the crumbs of hair cakes that fell from his mouth, and he stopped gnawing from time to time, and poured the crumbs he caught back into his mouth , The bits and pieces that fell on the clothes, licked my fingers again, stuck to them, and sucked all of them into my mouth without letting go.

Halfway through eating, he choked a little. The man hurriedly took the water bottle from the old motorcycle beside him, and drank it slowly. He was not too fast because he was afraid of wasting the water.

At this time, the man's bad luck came. A black and white law enforcement vehicle passed by, and the loud law enforcement bell stopped beside him.

Two law enforcers, one older and one younger, got out of the car and came to the man.

The older law enforcer walked up to the timid and anxious man, he was not in a hurry to speak, and glanced at the old motorcycle.

At first glance, the motorcycle is a type that cannot pass the inspection and go on the road. The loess and dust almost cover the whole body of the motorcycle. A luggage is tied to the car box. There are several flags on the left and right of the front of the car and on the luggage. The flags are clean and brand new ... Seeing this, the experienced senior law enforcement officer immediately understood something, and looked at the man with a little more complicated and sympathetic eyes.

Just when the young law enforcer was about to say something to the man, the elder law enforcer first raised his hand and interrupted the other party's opening, then stepped forward seriously and said to the man: "Sir, temporary parking and rest for no reason are not allowed here. To eat, you have to go to the service station."

The man nodded shyly, and said with a dry smile, "I'm sorry, comrade, my motorcycle is out of gas, and my blood sugar was a bit low when I pushed it halfway, so I stopped to eat something."

"What's your name, please show me your ID card and motorcycle driver's license." The elderly law enforcement officer's face remained unchanged, without showing any emotion, like a strict and fair bronze statue, he stretched out his white gloves.

The man nodded and said yes, then turned around and flipped through his luggage, and took out his two documents from the outer zipper bag to the other party.

The older law enforcer who got the certificate asked the young law enforcer to check the certificate with the verification machine in his hand, compared the identity of the man, and after confirming that it was correct, the elder law enforcer returned the certificate, and the unfreezing appeared on the face Expressing emotions like this: "Where is Mr. Li Jiahong going?"

"I'm going to Litai City." Li Jiahong said frankly.

"What are you doing over there?"

"Find someone, find a master." Li Jiahong was as frank as ever.

Hearing this, the two law enforcers fell silent. The young law enforcer pointed to the photos of the missing persons on the flags and said, "What are you looking for, master? Can you ask him to help you find them?"

Li Jiahong smiled plainly, with two rows of yellow teeth under his chapped lips, nodded and said: "Yes, he said that there is something that can help me find them."

As he said that, Li Jiahong suddenly realized, and quickly added another sentence, "Ah, you don't have to worry about me being cheated, the master said that he is very famous in the local area, he can't cheat, and cheating is not good for his reputation." .”

After the two law enforcers heard this, their expressions became more serious.

Li Jiahong felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He scratched his head and looked anxious, but he hesitated to speak, not knowing how to explain it.

"Your motorcycle can't be ridden. It's too old. Put the motorcycle on the side of the road. Someone will tow the motorcycle away, bring your luggage and get on the car." However, in the end, the elderly law enforcement officers did not do anything about it. Without making any judgments, he just said calmly.

Li Jiahong was stunned for a moment, and he did so honestly, taking off the bag from the motorcycle, and finally took the banner with missing person notices on all four sides and put it away in his hand, saying: "Comrade, you ...Do you want to take me to the police station?"

"No, I will send you a short distance, and I will let you off when you get off the expressway in Litai City." The old law enforcement officer said calmly, and got into the car.

Hearing this, Li Jiahong's eyes became a little turbulent, and he bowed seriously to the two law enforcement officers, then patted his clothes, and carefully got into the car with his luggage and flags in his arms.

In the car, the two law enforcement officers chatted with Li Jiahong for a few more words. Li Jiahong answered them sincerely and unreservedly for every question.

At the agreed end point, Li Jiahong got out of the car, and once again bowed deeply to the two law enforcement officers. After finishing, he carried his bags and rolled up the flags and continued to move forward.

"Master, in such a situation, can we still get it back?" During the U-turn driving, the young law enforcer glanced at the crooked figure in the rearview mirror while driving, and couldn't help asking.

The old law enforcer sighed silently, and slowly uttered a word: "Difficult."

"Is it worth it?" The young law enforcement officer was puzzled.

"For a person like him, since he decided to embark on the journey of finding people, he has not considered the value. It is completely a matter of willingness or not."

"...Damn it, that master is a liar, it's obviously such a clumsy trick! He even cheated the poor of their money!"

"It's hard to say." Hearing the youthful sense of justice of the young law enforcer, the old law enforcer shook his head, "Burning incense and worshiping Buddha are all for peace of mind, and it's also legal. Do you think that Mr. Li didn't think about it?" Have you ever met a liar? He doesn't care if he's a liar or not, he just bet on that glimmer of hope."

After hearing this, the young law enforcer couldn't help but sigh.

……

At 23:[-] in the evening, Li Jiahong finally arrived in Yonghu Town, Litai City. Seeing that it was getting late, he had to find a cheap hotel to stay temporarily, and then went to find the master tomorrow.

After finishing his salute, he went to a noodle shop nearby downstairs and ordered a bowl of plain noodles in clear soup. Fish and meat.

"Close the door soon, bro, today I have some green vegetables returned by a customer, do you want to eat them? If you don't eat them, throw them away." The owner of the noodle shop, who was tidying up the noodle shop, was holding a plate of oily and hot vegetables. Stir-fried pork with vegetables, came out and asked.

Li Jiahong froze for a moment, didn't think much, and agreed directly: "Okay, okay, thank you..."

The owner of the noodle shop smiled honestly, put the vegetables in front of Li Jiahong, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue packing, but what he didn't know was that after he went back, Li Jiahong took out a notebook from his arms and wrote it on it. The address and name of the noodle shop were recorded, and there were two law enforcement numbers above this line, which were the two law enforcers who had helped him in the morning.

This notebook is so thick that nearly three-quarters of its pages have been used up. It records the names of people and places that Li Jiahong has been grateful for during his journey to find relatives.

"The latest report is that the rescue work of the magnitude 6 earthquake in Tianfu City is still going on..." After writing the record, Li Jiahong continued to eat noodles with gusto. When he heard the most turbulent news in Shenzhou recently, he couldn't help it. Looking up at the TV hanging in the corner of the store, when I saw the words "XX is missing" on the subtitle of the news broadcast, a trace of sadness flashed in my eyes.

The owner of the noodle shop lay at the serving window, looked at the news screen, and said with emotion: "This year is not peaceful, I really hope everyone is having a good life, and then...my noodle shop will have good business."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiahong said seriously: "Boss, the noodles you cook are delicious, and the vegetables are also delicious. With such good craftsmanship, your business will definitely get better and better!"

The owner of the noodle shop was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, scratched his face in embarrassment, and said, "It's not worth it, and I don't need the business to be so good. As it is now, it's barely enough to support my family. about there."

Li Jiahong gave a thumbs up: "I mean it's really delicious, your noodle shop will definitely become popular."

The noodle shop owner smiled and shook his head.

Unknowingly, the news on TV has switched to the next one.

The beautiful and dignified hostess smiled in front of the camera and said: "Good news, the famous talented musician who has been silent for a long time, and the most outstanding violinist of this century, Hemofin, finally posted a post in the online community recently, expressing that he has been silent for many years. In fact, a new masterpiece is being promoted, and it will be released soon... The audience is looking forward to him bringing you a perfect music feast again."

"Ah, Haimofen is finally coming back." When Li Jiahong saw the news, he couldn't help expressing emotion.

The owner of the noodle shop felt a little funny when he heard it, but he was also a little curious, "Do you also listen to these classical music?"

Li Jiahong revealed a hint of reminiscence, and said with a smile: "When my wife was pregnant, I heard the prenatal education saying that listening to some melodic music for the child in the womb would be good for the child's growth and development. The antenatal teacher recommended Hemofin's music to us, and he was very impressed, and thanks to him, we had a very healthy child."

Hearing Li Jiahong's words, the owner of the noodle shop couldn't help but look at the other party again. He searched carefully from the face that had been exposed to wind and sun, and was a little dirtier than the peasant laborers who were born in the fields. For a while, he felt a little more sympathy for this unknown guest.

This guest, who is exuding such happiness and remembrance at this moment, does not know what kind of troubles he encountered after the happy time mentioned by the other party, so that he wandered here and became what he is now.

Is he a gambler?
Had an accident in the family?
still is……

The owner of the noodle shop couldn't help thinking about it like this, but he couldn't bear to associate Li Jiahong in a malicious direction, because Li Jiahong had a pair of sincere eyes, and he liked the sincerity of this customer very much.

It wasn't until the next day that the owner of the noodle shop finally understood the reason why the customer fell into what he is now.

Li Jiahong came to the noodle shop as he did last night, and ordered the same noodle soup, but this time, he also brought a bag with several banners of missing person notices on it, two of which were about children Yes, there is a child whose eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Li Jiahong.

Thinking of the mention of the child yesterday, Li Jiahong smiled so happily.

The owner of the noodle shop felt that his heart was as sour as a dishwashing sponge, no matter how squeezed it was, there would always be bitter water.

So it was because the child was lost...

After eating plain noodles is equivalent to finishing today's brunch, Li Jiahong is on the road again, he wants to find the master who poured water on the post bar, even if there is a glimmer of hope, he will find that master.

Stepping up the narrow stone steps and walking into the misty forest, Li Jiahong was full of thoughts.

Speaking of which, when he first started, he didn't think about going to that master, and it wasn't that suspicious master who came to him first.

Everything started 15 years ago. He used to have a happy and warm family. He was born in the middle class with a good background, a decent and ideal job, and met a well-matched wife with a good temperament. He and The wife respects each other as a guest, and loves each other... Soon there will be news of a child.

The whole family is very happy and looking forward to the arrival of the child.

The child was born smoothly, a healthy boy who has never been sick. He and his wife also regard their son as a treasure and take good care of it.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the child's third birthday, bad news broke out.

His wife suffered an accident, fell from a height, fell into a vegetative state, and fell into a deep coma, and their three-year-old child disappeared after that.

Li Jiahong couldn't understand why someone would harm his family, his wife, and take away their children like this.

After being depressed for a period of time, Li Jiahong made a major decision. He wanted to get his child back. He left all his savings to the old people on both sides, and asked them to take good care of his unconscious wife. On the road of searching for orphans until the child is found.

However, it took 15 years to find it!

He can't see hope, but he has hope in his heart. Along the way, he will not only look for his own children, but also help others find their children. When he saw other people's children being found for the first time, he was very concerned about finding his own children. My confidence has increased a bit.

Even other people's children can be found, why can't he?

And in this No.15 year, Li Jiahong received a piece of good news, that is, his wife woke up.

He returned to the hospital non-stop to visit, and by the way, he wanted to inquire about the truth that even the law enforcement officers could not find any clues.

But when he saw his wife again, when she saw him like this, she couldn't help but collapsed and cried hysterically, with self-blame and despair that made him uneasy.

He had a private conversation with his wife, and in his wife's statement under the chaotic mood, he finally knew what happened that year, which was the suffocating, maddening and desperate truth.

When his wife said that the child was not taken away by human traffickers, but by an abnormal creature named Fugu, he felt that his wife was crazy and became a little strange.

In his wife's confession, he learned that his wife was not as well-behaved as he thought. In other words, she was not always a knowledgeable person. She joined a mysterious association, where she and the members of the association once held a sacrilegious taboo ceremony. Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of this ceremony that the disaster 15 years ago was brought about for her...

Hearing the mysterious and mysterious truth, Li Jiahong was at a loss and desperate, feeling that he could not see the light at a glance.

It turns out that he has been unable to find the child because the child is not in this dimension at all...
