From abandoned baby to CEO
Chapter 177 The tiger slipped away under Sun Xue’s nose
The next day, when Sun Xue woke up, she found that her grandfather had already gotten up and was sitting next to the stove smoking, with a sad look on his face.
Old Man Sun didn't sleep well last night, and what happened to Xiaodouzi made him very worried.
Old Man Sun was frightened by Xiaodouzi's story, and he immediately thought of Huzi, which made him feel even heavier.
If Huzi is also abducted by human traffickers, Huzi will become a money-making tool for the traffickers for the rest of his life based on his IQ.
……
"Hey!"
After Sun Xue got up, she screamed in pain as soon as her feet landed.
Old man Sun was startled: "What's wrong? Xue'er."
"It's okay, Grandpa."
Sun Xue said and quickly took off his socks.
Only then did she realize that after walking all day last night, she had developed a lot of blisters on her feet. The blisters burst at some point and yellow pus flowed out. When her feet landed, the soles of her feet hurt like needles.
"Look, your feet are swollen even when you walk. Doesn't it hurt? Xue'er."
Old man Sun took a cotton ball to help Sun Xue clean the pus around the blisters, and asked distressedly.
"It's okay, Grandpa. This little pain is nothing!"
Sun Xue endured the pain in her soles and pretended to be strong and said with a smile.
When Sun Xue made breakfast, Xiaodouzi was still sleeping soundly.
Sun Xue glanced at Xiaodouzi and did not wake him up. Maybe it was because he knew that he was rescued that he felt confident and slept so soundly.
"Grandpa, you and Xiaodouzi stay at home after dinner, and I'll go look for the places I visited yesterday."
As Sun Xue spoke, she filled a bowl of steaming noodles and brought it to Old Man Sun. She also specially fried an egg for each of Old Man Sun and Xiaodouzi.
"Xue'er, your feet hurt, why don't you go and rest at home."
"It's okay, grandpa, you don't have to worry about me. Huzi just got some news, I don't think I can find him today."
Old Man Sun didn't say anything else. He was more anxious than anyone else since Huzi was lost. But his body is not up to par at all. In this strange city with no relatives or friends, Xue'er can only rely on Xue'er to find Huzi for the time being.
Old Man Sun ate the noodles in his bowl with deep thoughts.
"Grandpa, when Xiaodouzi wakes up, heat up the noodles and give them to him."
"Xue'er, why don't you send Xiaodouzi to the police station? Let the people at the police station help contact his family."
Sun Xue hesitated for a few seconds and then said:
"Grandpa, let him stay at home for the next few days. His leg is still injured."
"Yeah, Xue'er, grandpa listens to you."
After eating, Sun Xue went out. She first went to the print shop and printed dozens of missing person notices, and then came to the same place she walked yesterday.
But Sun Xue walked very slowly today. The broken blisters on her feet made her walk significantly slower. She started to feel pain after walking for a short time and was sweating profusely.
Sun Xue asked as she walked. Every once in a while, she posted a missing person notice in a place where many people gathered.
When it was almost noon, Sun Xue's feet were so painful that she couldn't walk anymore. She thought the blisters must have burst again. The soles of her feet were stinging for a while, so Sun Xue started to walk back.
Sun Xue first went to the drugstore and bought some band-aids for herself, and some medicine for wounds and oral anti-inflammatory drugs for Xiaodouzi. Sun Xue was afraid that Xiaodouzi's wound would be infected, and he might not even be able to save his leg by then.
After coming out of the drugstore, Sun Xue walked straight to the farmer's market.
She was going to the farmer's market to buy a pair of shoes for Xiaodouzi. The pair of leather shoes Xiaodouzi wore must have been picked up from the trash can. It looked like they had been worn by an adult. They looked like two boats on his feet.
It's noon now, which is also the busiest time of the day at the farmer's market. The cries of vendors came and went, and the market was crowded with people, making it a lively scene.
Sun Xue was choosing shoes at a shoe stall with her head down. She was still hesitating whether to buy cloth shoes or sneakers for Xiaodouzi. Suddenly, she heard a man shouting from not far away from the market:
"You little lunatic, you're here to steal my steamed buns again, don't run away, just stop!"
Sun Xue raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound. More than a hundred meters away from her, she saw a boy in black cotton-padded clothes running hard with a steamed bun in his hand. A middle-aged man was behind him. The young man was scolding and chasing.
The moment the boy turned around, Sun Xue's jaw almost dropped:
The boy running away with the steamed buns was the Huzi that he and his grandfather thought about day and night.
Yes, that's right, it's Huzi, Sun Xue is 100% sure, that face is too familiar to her.
Sun Xue hurriedly threw down the shoes in his hands and ran in the direction where Huzi was running.
Sun Xue tried her best to shuttle through the bustling crowd. Because she ran too fast, she bumped into other people. The people who were hit were cursing and blaming Sun Xue, but Sun Xue couldn't care about that much anymore.
She only had one thought in her mind, which was to race against time to catch up with Hu Zi.
Sun Xue shouted while running: "Huzi! Huzi! Huzi, don't run!"
Maybe it was far away, maybe it was noisy in the market, but Sun Xue's voice was quickly drowned in the crowd, and it didn't attract Huzi's attention at all.
Sun Xue watched helplessly as Huzi's back disappeared from the back entrance of the farmer's market.
When Sun Xue was out of breath and ran to the back door, she realized that not far from the back door was the noisy street.
Sun Xue stood on the street, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street, looking around, but unfortunately there was no sign of Hu Zi.
Sun Xue felt extremely regretful. This was the closest opportunity between her and Huzi. Unexpectedly, Huzi slipped away under her nose.
One hundred meters ahead was the crossroads. Sun Xue stopped when she reached the crossroads. She didn't know which direction Hu Zi ran in?
While Sun Xue was hesitating, she saw a traffic police uncle standing at the intersection.
Sun Xue quickly stepped forward and asked the traffic police uncle for help:
"Uncle, did you just see a boy about this tall wearing a black cotton coat? Do you know which direction he ran from?"
Sun Xue gestured with Hu Zi's height with her hands as she spoke.
"Yes, there was a boy in a black cotton coat just now. He ran very fast and didn't even look at the traffic lights. He just ran from that direction."
The policeman pointed to an intersection ahead and said to Sun Xue.
After thanking the police uncle, Sun Xue began to search carefully in the direction pointed by the police uncle.
There are shops and family buildings on both sides of the street, as well as some low-rise bungalows.
Sun Xue thought for a while and felt that Huzi must have ran into the bungalow.
However, there are several rows of bungalows, and there are several intersections leading to the bungalows.
Sun Xue walked into one of the intersections and found that there were many residents high and low inside.
Sun Xue slowed down and shouted as he walked:
"Huzi! My sister is here to find you. Where are you?"
Many residents came out of their homes when they heard Sun Xue's shouts and stopped to watch in front of their homes.
Sun Xue took the opportunity to ask them if they had seen a boy in black cotton-padded clothes passing by.
