Ding Qiunan showed no signs of waking up even after lunch.
Li Chu delivered the meal to the ward. Aunt Wang arranged for Li Qiaoyun's meal to be prepared and delivered by the small stove in their courtyard.
Ding Qiunan slept until she was about to get off work in the afternoon before waking up. When she woke up, she was howling with hunger.
It's strange that I'm not hungry since I finished eating in the morning.
After persisting until get off work, Li Chu went over to pick up the two children. The family of four ate in the cafeteria, and Ding Qiunan ate four large steamed buns by herself.
The two little guys looked at their mother strangely.
After dinner in the evening, Ding Qiunan arrived at the ward and asked Aunt Wang and the others to leave.
Li Qiaoyun has recovered much better today than yesterday. Although he still lacks energy to walk, he can already move in bed.
Li Chu stayed in the ward until the two children became sleepy before going back.
It was already dark. When he came back, Li Chu did not take the main road, but passed through the alley to the east.
To go home from the east, he needs to walk to the western end of this alley, because his home is the second home in the west.
There were no street lights in the alley, and Li Chu couldn't use a flashlight while holding his two children, so he could only walk cautiously.
Although I can't see the road clearly, fortunately, I usually walk a lot and know the road conditions, so I don't have to worry about falling down even in the dark.
Humming children's songs from the previous life, the two little guys were peaceful in their father's arms.
While walking, Li Chu suddenly stopped, stopped humming, and suddenly turned his head to look behind him.
It was almost pitch black behind me, except for the occasional light coming from the window.
Li Chu felt very strange. When he walked back today, he always felt as if someone was following him.
When we were on the road just now, I had a vague feeling. When I looked back, I didn't notice anything. Now that I turned into the alley, the feeling of being followed became even more obvious.
Looking down at the child in his arms, Li Chu hesitated for a moment and did not go back to check. Instead, he turned around and continued walking home, continuing to hum to the child in a low voice.
Ignoring whether there is anyone behind him, he is holding the child in his arms, and everything must be done with the child's safety as top priority.
Li Chu's pace obviously accelerated.
When he reached the door of his house, he put the child on the ground in front of him, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
No one went in when the door was opened, and the dog in the house had already squeezed out through the crack in the door.
Almost as soon as Xiao Hei came out, he started barking in the direction where Li Chu had just returned.
This made Li Chu even more certain that someone must have followed him just now.
And they are strangers, at least to Xiao Hei.
Li Chu did not turn on the light at the door. He put the two children into the door and asked Xiaobai and Xiaohua to stand next to the children.
He squatted down and touched Xiao Hei's head: "Xiao Hei, go and bite."
Li Chu gave Xiao Hei the simplest command. Xiao Hei can now understand the simple words.
After receiving the order, Xiao Hei rushed towards the east. Xiao Hei, who was covered in black hair, could not be seen at all in the night.
According to its speed, Li Chu estimated that it had only run a distance of fifty or sixty meters when he heard Xiao Hei start to scream again, and his running speed increased.
Sure enough, the man didn't leave just now and was hiding in the dark. He probably didn't expect Li Chu to let the dog out.
"Dad, Dad, I'm scared." Xiao Wenhui's voice came out.
The gun Li Chu had just taken out from the warehouse disappeared in an instant.
He stepped through the door, turned on the light at the door, and then picked up the two children.
As soon as Xiao Wenhui was hugged, she hugged her father's neck tightly.
Li Chu didn't expect that the person who shouted out fear turned out to be the naughtiest little Wenhui. After all, she was a girl. Although little Wenxuan was shy, she was very calm at the moment. She was held in her arms by her father and extended a hand.
Holding my sister's hand with only one hand.
After about five or six minutes, Xiao Hei ran back.
After Xiao Hei entered the door, Li Chu locked the door, then walked into the living room with the child in his arms.
Xiao Hei, who didn't expect to follow him, spit out a piece of cloth from his mouth, then sat on the ground, sticking out his tongue and gasping for air.
Li Chu was not in a hurry to go up and see the thing. Instead, he cleaned the two children first, carried them into the bedroom, and asked Xiaobai and Xiaohua to stay inside. Then he returned to the living room.
He took out a pair of gloves from his shoulder bag and put them on his hands, then squatted in front of Xiao Hei and picked up the strip of cloth that he had spit out just now.
Very ordinary navy blue labor cloth was everywhere on the street, and Li Chu couldn't analyze anything from the cloth strips.
He reached out his hand and was about to touch Xiao Hei's head when he discovered that there were blood stains on Xiao Hei's teeth.
Li Chu held Xiao Hei's head with one hand, wiped the blood from his teeth with the other, and opened Xiao Hei's mouth to take a look. It should not be Xiao Hei's blood, which meant that Xiao Hei had just killed that person.
Got bitten.
Who is following me and why? Is it premeditated or random with the intention of robbing?
A lot of question marks popped up in Li Chu's head.
After thinking for a while, Li Chu walked to the phone and picked up the phone. Just as he was about to make a call, he put the phone down. He stood up and took out a hard-cover notebook from his bag. He opened it and looked at the phone number written on it, then put the notebook down again.
Put it back in your satchel.
I walked to the phone, picked it up, and dialed the number just now.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up, and a male voice came from the other side.
"Brother Six, this is Li Chu. Can you come to my house now? I have something to do here."
Soon Li Chu put down the phone and sat on the sofa. Suddenly, the May 4th pistol in the warehouse appeared in his hand again.
After turning on the safety and loading the bullet, Li Chu sat on the sofa with a gun in his hand, waiting quietly.
The phone call he just made was to his brother-in-law's cousin Wu Xiaoliu, the man he rescued.
He didn't call Uncle Wang or his brother-in-law because he didn't want to disturb them at night.
He asked Wu Xiaoliu to come here just in case. After all, he still had two children at home.
Less than half an hour later, Li Chu saw Xiao Hei rushing from the living room to the yard, but he didn't scream. It seemed that he was an acquaintance coming over.
Li Chu stood up with a gun in his hand and walked to the yard. Now he also heard footsteps outside, and there was only one person.
The person outside did not knock on the door, but directly shouted: "Xiao Chu, I am Wu Xiaoliu, open the door."
Hearing his voice, Li Chu breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly over to open the door.
Wu Xiaoliu was holding a flashlight outside the door. When he saw Li Chu opening the door, he first took the flashlight and looked at both sides of the alley before walking into the door.
Turning around and locking the door, Wu Xiaoliu turned around and used the light in the living room to see the pistol in Li Chu's hand. The surprised look on his face flashed away.
"Xiao Chu, what happened? Why did you get the gun?"
"Brother Six, please sit in the room first and I will tell you slowly."
