OBS Chapter 376 Crowded
Chapter 376 Crowded
It was the old man who said, "Just stay there and don't come down."
That wouldn't be possible. How could Zhou Guo stay there? She had to go find her brother.
Zhou Su was with Li, and she definitely couldn't take care of so many children by herself.
The boy next to him was not happy. He had never been ignored like this since he was a child. Not to mention that he was the center of attention everywhere, but he had never been ignored so thoroughly. "Hey, I'm talking to you. I'm a big living person. Are you blind and can't see me?"
Zhou Guo turned around and glanced at him quickly, then said, "Well, I've seen you. You are very beautiful, as luxuriant as a spring flower and as graceful as a flower."
After saying that, she jumped down and ran in the direction where the sound came from. In order not to scare people, she squeezed through the crowd. The people she squeezed turned around and cursed, but they didn't see anyone, so they had to catch someone and cursed, "Did you squeeze me? Why are you squeezing me? Are you tired of living and want to reincarnate?"
"What are you talking about? Watch your mouth, or I'll slap you in the face!"
As we went along, we heard more and more people cursing.
The boy, who was still feeling happy, slowly opened his mouth and watched the little girl rush into the crowd like a horse, tearing a hole in the middle. When she met someone blocking the way, she lifted the person up with one hand and put him aside. "Where did this monster come from?"
Zhou Guo ran and shouted, and the first person she found was the old man. Seeing her rushing through the crowd, the old man frowned and said, "Why are you running around? I told you to stay up there, but why didn't you listen?"
Zhou Guo waved his hands and said, "How can I stay with so many people? Master, there are too many people. Let's not watch the lanterns. Let's go back. It's easy to lose the child with so many people."
A trace of worry flashed in the old man's eyes. "Not only will the child be lost, but if things go wrong, someone might even die. Come on, you go this way, I'll go that way. When we find someone, let's go to the city gate. We'll go home and we won't watch the lanterns anymore."
Zhou Guo nodded heavily.
At this time, everyone came to their senses. Some families were separated and the children were frightened and crying loudly.
Someone kept calling the child's name, the child was crying for his mother, some were cursing, and there was a lot of noise. Zhou Guo wanted to shout, but with so many people and so many voices, it was useless to shout.
She had no choice but to follow the route she remembered. After half an hour, when her facial features were so crowded that she could hardly find their respective positions, she finally found Li and Zhou Xing with Zhou Suli and Li Lai behind an abandoned stall at a corner. They were all still in shock.
When they saw her coming, everyone's eyes lit up, and their frightened faces showed a look of relief.
She was surprised and asked, "Mom, you didn't get separated?"
Li smiled bitterly and said, "How come we didn't get separated? We got separated. I saw something was wrong. I was holding Xiao Su and your sister was holding Li Lai, and we were separated by the crowd. Fortunately, your sister found this place and pulled us here. It's safe to hide here. Let's go back. There are too many people watching the lanterns. Let's come back next year."
Zhou Guo nodded, stretched out his hands to pick up Zhou Su and Li Lai, let them sit on his arms, and hugged his neck, "Master has gone to look for my eldest brother and the others. It sounds like the three of them are together. When we find them, go to the city gate. We'll go first."
She dragged one person with one hand, steadily, and tried to go upstream with the crowd, but found it was too difficult and she couldn't squeeze in at all. It would be okay if she was the only one there, but with two people in her arms, it would be bad if she squeezed them.
Turning to Li and Zhou Xing, he said, "Mom, we can't get out. You and my sister stay here first. I'll come pick you up after I send them out."
After saying that, he jumped up and flew out of the city, stepping on the shoulders of the people in the crowd.
The crowd soon exclaimed.
"Who stepped on my head?"
"Which bastard stepped on my shoulder? Are you tired of living?"
"Ah, look, is there someone flying up ahead?"
"Fly your head! Didn't you hear that people say we come here by stepping on people's heads and shoulders? Lower your head quickly, or you will be stepped on!"
Zhou Guo startled many people along the way, so he had to jump over and step on someone's shoulder for support, apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'll lend you my shoulder."
Li Lai was so frightened that he couldn't speak in the first place, and now it would be even later for him to speak.
As for Zhou Suli, the little guy sat on his sister's arms, looking left and right excitedly, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. But when he saw Zhou Guo stepping on someone's shoulders, he couldn't help but apologize.
Zhou Guo leaped forward apologetically.
Fortunately, the light was insufficient, so although everyone could clearly see a figure, a child, they couldn't see the face clearly. They could only curse at him, but they couldn't catch the person.
The young man on the wall saw her coming back, and it seemed that she was holding two children in her arms. The most important thing was that she flew over the heads of the crowd. His mouth, which had just closed, opened again, "...You can fly!"
When she arrived at the city gate, she saw people coming in continuously. She felt that today's lantern festival was a little weird. Why did so many people come? Isn't it said that the north is vast and sparsely populated?
Zhou Gu and the others were already waiting anxiously, pacing back and forth like ants on a hot pot. When they saw her coming out with Zhou Su and the others, they came over with a happy look on their faces. Zhou Mai looked around and frowned again, "Where's mom? Didn't you see mom and big sister?"
Zhou Guo wiped the sweat off his head, put the two children down, and said, "They are still inside. There are too many people. We can't move at all. I will go pick them up now. You wait here."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
When I finally squeezed to the corner, I found that the crowd had stopped moving.
The county government probably also got the news, and they were beating drums and gongs in the streets ahead, shouting and calling for people to be diverted.
Zhou Guo looked at the crowd that was still joining in. It was so long that it would be impossible to walk back like this.
She looked around, at the rooftops and walls on both sides, and put her mother on someone else's roof. She said, "Mom, wait here for a while. I'll send my sister out first and then come pick you up."
Li nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to come to pick me up. I can just follow you over the wall and walk out."
After she sent Zhou Xing out, when she came back, she found that the nearby walls and trees were full of people. There was no place to stand below, so she had to sit on the wall.
The crowd began to scream heart-wrenchingly. Seeing that something was not right, several households along the street opened their doors and began to divert the crowd, opening their front and back doors.
However, doing so would involve great risks. With so many people passing by the house, if one person had bad intentions, the outcome would be disastrous.
