Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 897 157. I just owe you a goodbye. He is a good man.

"Slow down Chelin!"

The car moved so fast that by the time Li An reacted, it had already reached the entrance.

"clothing!"

Seeing this, Li An grabbed Xiaoche's down jacket on the sofa and ran over.

Then, without turning around, she shouted behind her, "Sister Xu, watch over them! No one is allowed to go down without permission! My phone is in the kitchen! The password is six fours! The parents will call soon, you take them down! Zhang Miao, help Sister Xu!"

"Liu Fengrui, you guys listen up! Put on your clothes, take your things and wait for the call!"

In a flash, teacher and student Li An and Che Lin disappeared at the door.

Wang Xiaohu: "Mom, I want to go!"

Xiaobei: "Aunt Xu, I want to go too!"

Ma Ke: "Aunt Xu, please let me go"

Ah Liu: "Aunt Xu, I promise I won't run around!"

As soon as Ang Lee left, the living room became a mess.

"Quiet!" Xu Li looked around and finally stopped at her son's face, "Didn't you hear what the teacher just said?"

The living room fell silent for a moment. After a moment, Wang Xiaohu looked away and curled his lips.

A Liu and Marco looked at each other and lowered their heads.

Zhang Miao came over and put his hand on Xiao Bei's shoulder. "Don't worry, everyone. Maybe Teacher Li will bring Ba Wan back soon. Maybe Ba Wan is at home, but we just haven't found it yet. Can we look for it at home?"

Not good! The four children were all clear about one thing at this moment: Ba Wan was no longer at home.

They had just searched every possible corner of the house!
At this time, Lao Tang also put on his clothes and came over.

"Everyone calm down. I understand how you feel, but you are not familiar with this place, and it is night time now. If you don't stay at home, how can you let Teacher Li find the 80,000 yuan with peace of mind?"

"If you really want to help and want to see the 80,000 sooner, you should just be quiet and obedient and wait at home. This is the only thing you can do now."

After hearing what Teacher Tang said, several children didn't want to accept it but there was nothing they could do, because it was just as Teacher Tang said, if they went down to work more, they would also cause more trouble for the teacher.

Old Tang said in a relaxed tone, "Okay, okay, stop hanging your heads. Listen to me. I've raised small animals at home since I was a child. I understand them."

The four children looked up in unison.

Old Tang smiled and smiled at the four children, "Because cats are cautious by nature, they like to stay in places they are familiar with."

"I'm basically sure that even if Ba Wan ran out of the unit door, it wouldn't get far. Even if we can't find it tonight, we can just look for it tomorrow during the day."

"We put up a missing cat notice and mobilized the neighbors to look for him. With 80,000, he doesn't have many places to hide."

"And maybe we don't even need to look for it."

Xiaobei: “Ah?!”

Lao Tang looked at Xiao Bei and said, "I have a friend whose cat jumped out of the window. We looked for it for a week and couldn't find it. We gave up, but guess what happened? On the tenth day, he came home from get off work and found his cat lying at his doorstep."

Wang Xiaohu: "Really? Teacher Tang!"

Lao Tang's words undoubtedly gave the children a shot in the arm, and some of their little faces finally showed some expression.

"Based on my experience," Old Tang smiled mysteriously, "the probability of Ba Wan getting lost is quite small. Teacher Saitama never lies."

call--

call--

The children finally felt a little relieved and gradually turned from an anxious state to anticipation.

Ah Liu clenched his fists and said, "Great!"

Seeing that the children were no longer impatient, Xu Li felt relieved. When it came to coaxing children, she felt that she was really not as good as these men.

After comforting the children, Lao Tang put away his phone, then found Li An's coat and said, "Just wait patiently. Your teacher only brought clothes for Che Lin, but not his own. I'll go get him some clothes."

The children watched Lao Tang leave, while Haitao picked up the clothes and motioned Zhang Miao to help look after the children.

The hurried voices of the teacher and student echoed in the corridor. Lao Tang sighed and was about to go downstairs when Haitao followed him.

"Haitao, stay in the room and don't go down. You still have to send the kids to school later. There are three kids here, so leave one more person here."

Haitao thought so too, so he nodded and lowered his voice: "Can the cat really find its way back by itself?"

Lao Tang smiled bitterly and did not answer Hai Tao's question. Instead, he asked, "How long has Brother An been raising him?"

Hai Tao couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw this. "It's been more than three years. He picked up the 80,000 yuan from the garbage dump. When he found it, it was no bigger than two palms."

After a pause, he said, "Brother Tang, you should be careful too. I'm here, don't worry."

Lao Tang nodded, hesitated for a moment, looked up, then went downstairs carrying Li Ang's clothes.
-
"stop!"

Finally, he caught up with Xiaoche on the 16th floor. Li An pressed hard on Xiaoche's shoulder to prevent him from climbing up the stairs any further.

"If you want to look for it, you should stay with the adults and not run around by yourself. Otherwise, go home and wait."

In the darkness, the car nodded, and then its feet moved upwards uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Li An took two big steps around to the front of the car and squatted down. When he squatted down, he saw that Xiaoche's tears had already hung down to her chin.

Xiao Che wiped his face with his hands, it would have been better if he hadn't wiped it, but once he did, he couldn't stop crying.

"Take a deep breath." Li An smiled and touched the back of Xiaoche's head, "Take a deep breath."

Xiao Che obediently took two deep breaths in a row, and his shoulders were shaking so much that it was heartbreaking.

moment.

"Listen to me, Linlin."

"Hachiman has grown up, he just chose a lifestyle he wants more."

"He was picked up by a teacher when he was still very small. Now he has grown up. He can go back to where he belongs. There's no problem, right?"

Xiao Che shook her head. It was not that she didn’t want to listen to the teacher, but every minute and every second was too precious to Ba Wan!

Just as she turned sideways to continue going upstairs, Li An controlled her even more forcefully.

"Linlin, listen to me, okay?"

"Will you leave your home when you grow up?"

"You will, you will, because you will have your own pursuits and your own ideas, so even if you don't want to, you will leave, right?"

This time, Xiaoche did not shake his head, nor did he give up struggling, but his voice was trembling so much that it seemed distorted and untrue.

"I'm sorry, teacher. I'm sorry, teacher. I'm sorry, teacher."

Li An raised his hand and wiped the corner of Xiaoche's eyes, as if he didn't hear it.

"It's the same. Ba Wan has grown up too, and we don't have to worry about anything. Ba Wan is very capable. When he was only the size of a human infant, he could find food and survive on his own. Now he is an adult cat. He is capable of taking care of himself. Do you believe him?"

After a moment, Xiaoche took a deep breath with all his strength, then swallowed and opened his mouth, "I'm sorry, teacher. I'm sorry."

Li An smiled and continued as if he didn't hear it.

"The teacher was anxious just now because he didn't have time to say goodbye to him properly."

For a moment, Xiaoche's pupils suddenly contracted.

Facing the surprised gaze of the little car with tears in his eyes, Li An paused and said, "Linlin, I didn't tell you how the 80,000 came from, right? You only know that it is a stray cat."

The car nodded.

Ang Lee: "I met Ba Wan in winter, next to a trash can downstairs where I lived at that time. Ba Wan was still very small at that time. When I first saw Ba Wan, I just took a look at it and then went upstairs. I didn't even think about taking it home at that time."

"That's strange. In the following month, I saw him downstairs almost every day. I would buy some sausages and throw them downstairs from time to time, but I only saw him eating once."

"The weather was getting colder and colder. I hadn't seen Ba Wan for a week. I was a little worried that Ba Wan might have frozen to death because I often saw online reports of stray animals not being able to survive the winter."

"Don't cry, just listen to me."

"Guess what happened in the end. The weather got warmer. One day when I went downstairs to throw out the trash, I found Ba Wan rummaging in the trash can again. He had grown a little bit bigger." "When Ba Wan saw me, he jumped over and rubbed his head against me. I was very happy. I was happy that he survived the winter and that he seemed to remember me, his old friend."

"Then I immediately went to buy a sausage. It was the first time I fed Ba Wan sausage little by little. Halfway through feeding him, I broke the remaining sausage into pieces and threw it on the ground. I had to go upstairs."

"As soon as I got up, he stopped eating. I told him to eat his food and see you tomorrow."

"It didn't seem to understand. Every time I took a step back, it followed me. When I went up to the first floor, it followed me to the first floor. When I went up to the second floor, it followed me to the second floor. Finally, I opened the door and went into the house. It lingered outside the door for a while, and then went in."

"Okay, although my house is not big, it can accommodate another cat. If you want to stay here, you can stay here."

"So Ba Wan and I started living together, and we have lived together till today."

The car suddenly started to slide slowly again, like a beautiful dream suddenly shattered.

"Linlin, Linlin, listen to me. It was not the teacher who chose to live with Ba Wan. It was Ba Wan who chose the teacher at that time."

"Now that it has grown up, it may have already made a new choice in its heart. It wants to return to the world that belongs to it. Today, it finally waited for this opportunity and left here. You just helped it."

"It's just that the teacher hasn't said goodbye to him properly yet. After all, we've lived together for more than three years, and suddenly he leaves without saying goodbye. I feel a little sad."

As he spoke, Li An moved closer and touched the top of the car with his forehead.

"Listen, Linlin, we are going to look for Ba Wan now just to say goodbye to him. If we find him, we will feed him another sausage. If we can't find him, we will wish him a smooth new life. Do you understand?"

After another moment, Xiaoche nodded vigorously.

"Okay, get dressed."

Xiaoche's voice finally became normal, but it was even more hoarse: "Teacher, your clothes."

"You get dressed first, we'll climb to the roof and take a look, and then I'll come downstairs and get dressed, and then we'll go out again."

After standing up and waiting for Xiaoche to put on his clothes, Li An took Xiaoche's hand and the teacher and student walked towards the top floor.

Fifteen minutes later, the teacher and student stood on the roof and sighed.

Unwilling to give up, Li An did not take the elevator, but returned the same way to look for it again.

Along the way, Li An used words to calm Xiaoche's emotions, and paid attention to every corner of the safety passage as if reading a score.

When he reached the third floor, he suddenly heard some noise downstairs, and then he suddenly stood on tiptoe and quickened his pace.

Finally, I walked around the stairs and saw Lao Tang.
Seeing this, Lao Tang didn't ask any more questions and handed the clothes to Li An, "There are none in the next two units."

Only then did Li An notice that there was sweat on both sides of Lao Tang's cheeks. "Thank you."

After getting dressed, the three went downstairs and divided into two teams to search.

Li An asked Xiaoche to follow Lao Tang, and he went directly to the security department to look for surveillance.
-
"Eighty thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

After a while, the sound that filled the community attracted the security guard.

"What's wrong? Who are you looking for?!" A security guard approached from a distance.

Lao Tang hurriedly explained: "The cat ran away from home, a ginger cat."

As Lao Tang was talking, Xiaoche came up quickly and said, "Uncle Liu, my kitten ran out an hour and a half ago. Did you see it?"

When the security guard, Lao Liu, saw that it was Teacher Li's Che Lin, he saw how anxious the child was, "It's okay, don't worry, kid. This cat or dog can't run far. Let's go check the surveillance."

Lao Tang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master Liu. We won't go over there. Li An has gone to find your colleague to check the surveillance."

Security guard Lao Liu: "Okay, let's hurry up, I'll help you look for it, what kind of cat, big cat or small cat, there are many stray cats in the community."

Xiaoche: "It's an orange cat, very fat, with a small tuft of white hair on its head."

Lao Tang took out his mobile phone and took a picture at noon today.
-
monitoring room.

Ang Lee bent over and stared at the computer screen, afraid of missing a single detail.

“This one, right?”

Suddenly, security guard Xiao Li rewound the video, and when a fat cat leisurely walked out of the door of unit three, Xiao Li pressed the pause button.

18:48:42.

Li An sighed, at least he was sure that Ba Wan had indeed come out of the corridor, "Yes."

Without waiting for Li An to say more, Xiao Li then called up the video of the next camera. After half an hour of investigation, the clue was finally found on the east side of Building 24, where the camera was under maintenance.

"Sorry, Mr. Li, I'll find another camera for you."

At this time, Zheng Haitao rushed into the security room in a hurry. "The children have been sent to their parents. Sister Xu and Zhang Miao have also gone to look for them with Wang Xiaohu. What's the situation here?"

"He will still be in the community at seven o'clock. Haitao, you stay here," Li An took the phone Haitao handed over, "Call me if there is any news."

Turning around, he said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Li."

Xiao Li: "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Li, don't worry too much. Lao Li has already posted the cat's photo in the group. The guys on night shift will help you find it tonight. I will be on guard here tonight, don't worry."

It is unnecessary to say any words of thanks at this moment. Ang Lee will remember this kindness.

Nodding, Li An left quickly.

After Li An left, Hai Tao took out a cigarette and Xiao Li waved his hand: "Thank you, I don't smoke, it's okay if you smoke."

Haitao put away his cigarette and said, "Thank you."

"No thanks, no thanks. I feel relieved to be able to help Teacher Li find us." After a pause, "Teacher Li is a good person."

Xiao Li told Haitao that Teacher Li was usually very polite to their brothers in the security department, and at the beginning no one knew Teacher Li's identity.

Later, they heard from the property manager that they knew Teacher Li was an artist.

In their eyes, artists are all superior, but Teacher Li has never been one of them.

What moved the brothers in the security department the most was the story of their big brother, Captain Lao Liu.

Xiao Li said that one time, Lao Liu went to Teacher Li's house with some things he wanted to ask about his child's art high school entrance exam. Teacher Li not only confiscated the things, but also helped to find a teacher. Finally, he personally arranged for Lao Liu's family to meet the teacher and explained everything to the teacher in person.

"Teacher Li is the best person I have ever met."

Hai Tao sighed inwardly, "Yes, he is also the best senior brother I have ever met."
-
"There's none in Building 17!"

"There's no place near 21st!"

The three groups of people, Lao Liu, Lao Tang and Xu Li, met near Building 14.

Wang Xiaohu stepped forward to comfort her, "It's okay, Chelin. Teacher Tang just said that even if we can't find him tonight, Ba Wan will come back on his own in two days. Don't worry."

In this situation, Lao Tang could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, don't worry, Chelin."

Xu Li: "Linlin, let's take our time to look for it. Listen to Auntie, we are not in a hurry."

Listening to all those heartwarming words, Xiao Che still felt mixed emotions, then he pursed his lips and nodded.

Lao Liu: "Let's continue. We'll go east and you go west."

"Eighty thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

In the south, Zhang Miao and Li An also teamed up on their search.
-
after an hour.

Nearing eleven o'clock, two consecutive meows broke through the air.

Everyone stopped at once, and Wang Xiaohu was the first to rush towards the source of the sound!
It’s the voice of 80,000!

The car's ears can't be wrong!!!

"Linlin, slow down!"

He no longer cared about Aunt Xu Li's voice behind him. He quickened his pace and ran ten meters away in the blink of an eye, following closely behind Wang Xiaohu.

"Meow!"

"Meow!"
