Chapter 224 Lead a vagrant life from now on!
After breakfast, Xia Xiaoluo had a rest in Dou Ya’s small house. Finally, she put on a big coat of Dou Ya and went out to buy some food with the one hundred yuan. She planned to make something nutritious but simple for her lunch. Then she could make more dishes for Dou Ya in the evening to show her gratitude.
The house Dou Ya rented was in an old community. It was busy at ten o’clock in the community. There were old people and housewives who bought food with their children. It seemed that they were familiar with each other. She could always hear these people greeting each other on the road.
Xia Xiaoluo tightened her clothes. Anyway, she didn’t know these people. She also wore a red hat today to avoid the monitoring probes in the street. After all, Ling Tianyi once told her, when she was pushed into the well by Xia Jingru, Ling Tianyi located her approximate position through checking the surveillance videos step by step.
Xia Xiaoluo just walked to the gate of the community. She saw a familiar figure. It was Ling Tianyi. He came to find her. Xia Xiaoluo turned around quickly and pulled down her little red hat, pretending to see the outdated advertisements on the bulletin board of the community.
When Ling Tianyi was passing by, Xia Xiaoluo’s heart was beating fast, almost jumped out.
Ling Tianyi looked worried and haggard. It seemed that he didn’t sleep last night. Has he found her for the whole night? Xia Xiaoluo shook her head, she didn’t want to think about it anymore. She thought it was not safe to stay in Dou Ya’s house. But nobody else could help her. After all, if Ling Tianyi could find Dou Ya’s house, he could also find Luo Xixi’s house or her other friends’ houses.
Xia Xiaoluo took a deep breath. She left the community quickly, walking in one direction. She was aimless, without knowing where to go. But she knew she had to lead a vagrant life from now on!
Xia Xiaoluo only had one hundred yuan which was given by Dou Ya. She didn’t know what to do. The best plan was to find a job providing accommodation and food before dark, even if the salary was a little lower.
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t dare to stay in A City. Because she thought that Ling Tianyi’s power was unpredictable. If she hid in A City, Ling Tianyi would find her sooner or later. So she wanted to go to the city nearby, D City. Although Xia Xiaoluo wanted to go further, she had only one hundred yuan. She could only afford the fare to go to D City. She must find a job today. Because she even did not have enough money to stay in the hotel.
Xia Xiaoluo bought the cheapest bread in the small supermarket. She had only some changes now. She got on the bus, planning to go to the long-distance bus terminal. In fact, the cheapest way to go to D City was to go by train. But she must show her ID card when she bought the train ticket, so she could only go by bus.
In fact, Ling Tianyi stayed at the bus station last night. He thought that if he wanted to find Xia Xiaoluo, he should wait for her at the bus station, the railway station or the airport. But in the morning, Ling Tianyi suddenly remembered that Xia Xiaoluo had no money, so she couldn’t leave. She had to ask her friend for help. Ling Tianyi thought of Luo Xixi first. Because Luo Xixi’s family was wealthy. When Xia Xiaoluo was scolded by him last time, Xia Xiaoluo left without any money at that time, it was Luo Xixi who helped her. However, Ling Tianyi didn’t find Xia Xiaoluo in Luo Xixi’s house. Then he went to Dou Ya’s house. Although Dou Ya was poor, she was Xia Xiaoluo’s best friend.
It was a pity that Ling Tianyi was a little late. If he could arrive here ten minutes earlier, he could find Xia Xiaoluo right in Dou Ya’s house. Although many people were guarding at the bus station now, they haven’t seen Xia Xiaoluo. In addition, Xia Xiaoluo always avoided the monitoring probes deliberately. So she got on the minibus to D City finally.
Ling Tianyi couldn’t find Xia Xiaoluo in Dou Ya’s house. He searched in Ouyang Ziqian, Fang Ruichen and Chu Tong’s houses as well. He even searched in those classmates’ houses who were not familiar with Xia Xiaoluo. However, he got nothing.
Ling Tianyi drove and searched in the streets in A City. He was very upset. At this time, the mobile phone was useless. Because Xia Xiaoluo’s mobile phone was destroyed by him. So the positioning system embedded in her mobile phone was useless. Ling Tianyi regretted, why couldn’t he control his temper.
At the same time, more people were looking for Xia Xiaoluo. Ouyang Ziqian, Chu Tong and Fang Ruichen were all looking for Xia Xiaoluo. Even Ling Tianxue and Cheng Yalin were looking for Xia Xiaoluo as well. However, they had different purposes. Ouyang Ziqian and Fang Ruichen hoped to find Xia Xiaoluo and took her away. Chu Tong, Ling Tianxue and Cheng Yalin were the members of the marriage breaking alliance. If any of them could find Xia Xiaoluo, they would inform each other, and then Chu Tong would be the first one to save Xia Xiaoluo. He would be the hero to rescue and help Xia Xiaoluo.
Ling Tianxue was driving her car. Cheng Yalin sat in the co-pilot seat because Cheng Yalin’s car was lent to Chu Tong.
Ling Tianxue said to Cheng Yalin, “You should stay with Ling Tianyi at this time. It’s a good chance for you!”
“You don’t understand. Your brother was thinking about Xia Xiaoluo now. Whatever I said would annoy him. It’s better for him not to see me. I won’t bother him at this time. The result of being eager for success is often a failure!” Cheng Yalin said simply.
“So you want to adopt a long-term plan to secure something bigger?” Ling Tianxue said with a smile.
“You got it. In a word, I will fight no battle unprepared!” Cheng Yalin said. She took out a small mirror to fix her makeup. Maybe in the process of looking for Xia Xiaoluo, she would meet Ling Tianyi by accident. She must be always beautiful in front of Ling Tianyi.
In the afternoon, Ling Tianyi saw Dou Ya carrying two boxes of lunch in the street. He became alert immediately. Dou Ya, a thin girl, couldn’t eat so much food by herself. There must be someone else in her house.
Ling Tianyi turned around immediately. He went to the community where Dou Ya lived again. Ling Tianyi didn’t knock at the door this time. He thought that Xia Xiaoluo might hide in the house, she wouldn’t open the door no matter who knocked at the door. He wanted to rush in the house after Dou Ya opened the door.
Dou Ya spent the whole day with the children in the training school. She went upstairs humming a nursery rhyme. She took the key to open the door and shouted, “Xiaoluo, I’m back.”
Ling Tianyi was sitting in the stairwell upstairs. He was sure that Xia Xiaoluo was in Dou Ya’s rent house. He pushed Dou Ya aside and rushed in, “Xiaoluo, Xiaoluo, where are you?”
“Hey! What are you doing? Don’t you know that you are breaking in a private house?” Dou Ya recognized Ling Tianyi. They have met each other before. Otherwise, Dou Ya would be scared to death by Ling Tianyi. After all, she was a girl who lived here alone. When she opened the door, a man broke in suddenly. Everyone would be scared.
“Dou Ya, tell me. Where is Xiaoluo?” Ling Tianyi asked with his hands on his waist. The house was very small, Ling Tianyi knew that Xia Xiaoluo was not in the house after taking a few strides to turn around.
“Eh? It’s strange, Xia Xiaoluo is your wife. Why do you ask me? I also want to ask you where Xia Xiaoluo is. I was planning to invite her for dinner today!” Dou Ya stared at Ling Tianyi. Although Xia Xiaoluo said that she didn’t want Dou Ya to avenge Ling Tianyi yesterday, Ling Tianyi came here by himself. Dou Ya wouldn’t miss this chance to punish Ling Tianyi. After all, her best friend was bullied. She would never ignore it!
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Ling Tianyi said. He took the hospital gown on the bed. “These are Xiaoluo’s clothes. She ran out of the hospital in these clothes. You’d better tell me the truth. Where is Xiaoluo now? If you don’t tell me, I’ll break your teeth!”
Dou Ya was frightened by Ling Tianyi’s deterrence. She covered her mouth with her hands. She thought that it is possible for Ling Tianyi to do such a thing.
“Just tell me! Xiaoluo just had a miscarriage and it was cold outside. She has to go back to the hospital to have a rest. If she has any sequela, will you be responsible for her?” Ling Tianyi was anxious, holding Xia Xiaoluo’s hospital gown.
“Xiaoluo had a miscarriage? Did you beat her up?” Dou Ya was stimulated to be mad at the moment. She was similar to Xia Xiaoluo in character. She picked up the rolling pin and pointed at Ling Tianyi. “It must be your fault!”
“It’s my fault!” Ling Tianyi said regretfully. Suddenly, Dou Ya hit Ling Tianyi on his head with the rolling pin.
When Dou Ya was about to beat Ling Tianyi up again, Ling Tianyi has already reflected, he grasped the rolling pin. “You bitch, tell me where Xia Xiaoluo is. Or I will let you pay for the price that you can’t afford!”
“I want to avenge for Xiaoluo! I want to beat you up! If you dare to bully my friend, I will not let you go!” Dou Ya said. She wanted to rob the rolling pin again. Ling Tianyi grabbed the rolling pin directly and threw it to the ground.
“Tell me! Where is Xia Xiaoluo? If you regard her as your friend, you should send her to the hospital immediately. Or she will have a sequela. If we find her, you can hit me as you like, and I won’t do anything to you.” Ling Tianyi was anxious. Why was Dou Ya so stupid? He didn’t have time to fight with her at the moment.
“Xiaoluo? I don’t know!” Dou Ya was also confused.
“Why?” Ling Tianyi didn’t believe it obviously.
“She came here yesterday and stayed with me last night. I went to work before nine o’clock in the morning. Now I just come back.” Dou Ya was anxious now. If Xia Xiaoluo really had a miscarriage, where could she go?
“Is that true? Did she say where she would go?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“She told me that she was going to buy some food. I know she had no money, so before I go to work, I left her a hundred yuan to buy something for lunch. However, she would not go far. I will find her in the market nearby. Maybe she went out for dinner.” Dou Ya said and rushed out of the house immediately. Ling Tianyi followed her. Although he didn’t want Xia Xiaoluo to eat outside, he would not blame her if he could find Xia Xiaoluo at a roadside spicy hot pot stand. He would apologize to her and took her back to the hospital, taking good care of her.
Dou Ya and Ling Tianyi almost went to all the snack bars nearby, but they could not find Xia Xiaoluo.
“Did she get lost? Maybe she has already gone back?” Dou Ya said.
“Do you have a landline? Call back now.” Ling Tianyi suggested.
“Please, big boss. Do you think I live in a luxury house? I don’t have a landline. And I don’t have the money to pay for it!” Dou Ya said. She went back by herself. Ling Tianyi could only follow Dou Ya. After all, Dou Ya was the only one who has seen Xia Xiaoluo. It would be possible to find Xia Xiaoluo by staying with Dou Ya.
The final result disappointed Ling Tianyi. Xia Xiaoluo was not in Dou Ya’s house.
Dou Ya checked her mobile phone, but there were no calls or text messages. “What’s the matter with her? I told her to call me if she had anything. Why did she run away secretly?”
Dou Ya began to call Xia Xiaoluo. Ling Tianyi said, “Don’t call her again. I broke her mobile phone.”
“Humph!” Dou Ya threw her mobile phone on the table, she was speechless.
Ling Tianyi took Dou Ya’s mobile phone and checked it simply. “I expropriate your mobile phone temporarily. In half an hour, I will let my staff send you a new mobile phone and a new number. This is my business card. If Xia Xiaoluo comes back, call me at the first time.”
“Who are you? Why do you take my phone without my permission?” Dou Ya was so angry. Ling Tianyi was so rude that he took Dou Ya’s phone away like this!
“I’m Xia Xiaoluo’s husband. I think she will contact you.” Ling Tianyi took Dou Ya’s mobile phone and went away. Since there was no news from Dou Ya, he had to find Xia Xiaoluo again by other means. Xia Xiaoluo appeared in this community, he could find some clues by checking the surveillance videos.
