Chapter 1378 Rainy Night(1/2)
Chapter 3731 Rainy Night
At this time, the heavy rain had turned into heavy rain... It was still bad. Even due to the rain, the fields in many nearby villages had been flooded, and many yellow dirt roads in rural areas were not even opened to traffic normally.
Zi Ling's mother came back from the dean's office after a long time of normal supper... After she came back, Luo Qiu and the maid came from the next room.
"Is the dean's situation okay?"
Zi Ling's mother said with a sad look: "The person is in a very bad state. She barely drank a little porridge... and finally fell asleep. This old woman had secretly had a heart bypass surgery before, and I didn't know about it."
Lizi thought for a while and said, "Sister, you've been tired all day today. Haven't you eaten yet? I packed some food from the cafeteria, how many bites are to deal with?"
"I have no appetite now." Zi Ling's mother shook her head. She sighed, reached out to put her hand on the maid's palm, and said apologetically: "I originally planned to let you come and play for a day or two. I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this."
The maid said: "The weather in many places in China has been very poor recently, so it doesn't matter."
Lizi brought the thermos bottle at this time, "Then why don't you wipe your body and have a break tonight. Don't go out tonight. Have a good rest. I probably have to work hard tomorrow... I checked it and the way out was blocked by mudslides, and it was probably not opened to traffic so quickly."
Zi Ling's mother thought for a while and said, "I'll have to go over to see the dean later. The nursing staff in the hospital have to be busy. I plan to take care of her tonight. You can sleep alone."
"...Then I'll accompany you." Lizi said quickly: "Anyway, it's boring for me to stay alone, so why not spend time with you... Besides, it's good to accompany you if you help multiple people, right?"
Zi Ling's mother hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse, so she nodded.
Suddenly the lights went out and the room was pitch black.
"Has it tripped again?" Li Zi frowned subconsciously.
Zi Ling's mother had already touched the door and shouted Old Man Li's name to a place not far away from the opposite side, "Old Man Li, has it tripped again?"
After waiting for a while, the woman-like voice came from Old Man Li, "It's okay to have the switch, it should be that the wire outside is broken! Wait, I'll get you the car light!"
At this time, the sound of the caregivers shouting came from another building... They should have heard the power outage and asked Mr. Li to take lighting tools such as a car lamp.
Not long after, orange and yellow lights lit up in the dark welfare home one after another.
Lizi was holding a lit car lamp interestingly, "I just saw this thing online, but I didn't expect that there is such a thing now...it's quite bright?"
"There are still many people using outdoor camping now, right?" Zi Ling's mother smiled and said, "I used to carry this thing to the fields, and it's always easy to use."
"What are you doing in the fields at night?"
"Touch the frog!" Zi Ling's mother patted Li Zi's head angrily, "I used to do whatever I wanted to eat myself. How could you be as happy as you are now? Just click on your phone with a click?"
"There are frogs nearby?" Li Zi blinked immediately.
"In addition to frogs, there are many more." Zi Ling's mother said casually: "There is a stream next to her, and she can touch river clams, pick up mountain pit snails, small fish and shrimps, etc."
"Stop talking, I'm hungry again..." Li Zi wiped her saliva.
After the pear was brought up the kettle, there was no follow-up... The maid and the young lady poured out the hot water himself, and heated up the towel and handed it to Zi Ling's mother.
I am filial, but I have not fulfilled my filial piety.
After washing up briefly and eating some food, Zi Ling's mother packed up some things and walked towards the dean's office with Lizi again.
The maid smiled and said, "Miss Lizi should...be stayed with Miss Ren's side."
Luoqiu didn't say anything, looking at the darkness.
On the rainy playground, there was a vague figure walking towards the dormitory room at this time... When the other party approached a little, he could see clearly that the person coming was the old man Li from the gatekeeper.
But he didn't turn on the lights at night. At this time, he held a big black umbrella and wore water shoes and walked straight to the water.
"Hello, Mr. Li, is there anything wrong?"
"I forgot just now, I'll get some fire water for you." Old Man Li said directly: "If the light is turned off, add it yourself, but be careful, will you add fire water?"
Luoqi nodded.
Mr. Li looked at the room at this time and suddenly said, "Where is girl Ling?"
Luoqiu said: "She has gone to the dean's office and she should be there tonight."
"That's good." Mr. Li nodded, "She is still more reliable. I'll leave. If you have something to do, just shout loudly, I can hear it."
"By the way, Uncle Li, what are you doing there?" Luo Qiu pointed to another building at this time.
The entire floor has been illuminated. From a distance, there are many figures walking around the window.
Old Man Li said: "Oh, the power outage is out, I'm bored, so take my children to do handicrafts and so on. The nurses here regularly collect handicrafts made by their children and sell them when they go to the market."
"Can we go over and take a look?" Luoqiu asked curiously.
"Whatever you want." Old Man Li finally threw down his words, "Just don't run around. Many animals in the mountains will run out these days, and it is not safe outside."
...
...
Zi Ling's mother led the way with the car lights in front of her.
Lizi followed leisurely behind her and suddenly said, "Sister, don't say that this old house is still scary after the power outage... The staircase board is squeaking, and it hasn't been repaired in many years?"
Zi Ling's mother gave Li Zi a angrily glance, "This is the case with the old lady. She can't bear to eat and wear. She counts one point and spends all on the children. The buildings next to her have obviously been renovated for a short time, and they are still the same here."
Luoqiu thought for a while and said, "Does she have relatives living nearby?"
"I don't know this." The nurse's aunt shook her head: "Xiao Cha usually lives in a welfare home and only leaves during holidays... She rarely talks about family matters, so we didn't ask. I'm asking me that this girl stays here to work, and I still hope she can go out if she has the chance."
Luoqiu said casually: "Maybe she is actually enjoying it."
The nurse smiled and said nothing. The city people yearn for pastoral life... but they often leave in a few days. She has seen many young people from big cities, and they are all like this.
There is no poem or the distance that cannot be cured by suffering for two days... If you have it, just eat two more days.
"You guys are ready, I'll go and do my job." The nurse said with a smile, and shouted outside: "Ah Bang, Ah Bang! Help me get some hot water! Ah Bang? Where did you go again? Really..."
The nurse walked out.
Luo Qiu's eyes slowly swept through the activity room at this time... and saw a girl sitting in the corner, accompanying a little girl to cut window flowers, lowering her head in panic.
Zhang Lan.
After a while, Zhang Lan gritted her teeth and walked towards Luoqiu, whispering: "Big...Big Brother, can I ask some things?"
"It's about Chen Yu." Luo Qiu nodded, "Do you want to talk about it here or go outside?"
"Go to...go to the corridor outside." Zhang Lan mustered up the courage.
Luoqiu glanced at the maid and said, "Then I'll go out."
...
...
"Okay, OK, I will tell the dean, you go back quickly and don't cause trouble here."
"oh oh."
In front of the dean's office, Sister Liu waved her hand and saw Brother Bang running with eight steps to chase the cicada.
"Please eat!"
Ah Bang Ge stopped in front of Zi Ling's mother and Li Zi with a smile, and sent two persimmons, with enthusiasm on his face.
"Thank you." Lizi took it without saying a word.
"You're welcome!"
Ah Bang Ge smiled and continued to use eight steps to catch the cicada.
"Be careful to look at the stairs!" Liu Susu shouted from afar, looking helpless.
"Sister Liu, what are you here to do?" Zi Ling's mother asked curiously.
"It was said that I was giving persimmons to the yard." Liu Susu shook her head and said, "No one told him that he fainted in the yard, so he would not be worried about it. Anyway, he would not be able to help."
Zi Ling's mother nodded, "How is the old lady?"
"I'm still asleep." Liu Susu said: "When you go in, you whisper."
"Then I'll go in later." Zi Ling's mother thought for a while, then suddenly pulled Liu Susu's hand, "Sister Liu, did you hide something from me in the afternoon?"
"What's wrong? Who did you hear?" Liu Susu said unnaturally: "Didn't I tell you all about the demolition of the welfare home?"
"It's definitely not a matter of demolition." Ren Ziling said in a deep voice: "When you talk to Old Man Li on the Xiaohuang Bus, you're so huh... Sister Liu, tell me honestly, what's wrong with the welfare home that I can't know?"
"This... is actually..." Liu Susu subconsciously glanced at the dean's room and said helplessly: "It's either I can't know, it's just hard to say."
"What the hell is it?"
Liu Susu said: "It's just that before the welfare home, a few children were lost."
"Lost?" Zi Ling's mother was stunned and said in surprise: "What does it mean to lose?"
"If you lose it, you will lose it." Liu Susu shook her head and said, "The person can't be found at all. After reporting the case, the law enforcement has not been found... It is highly likely that he was abducted."
"How could this happen?" Zi Ling's mother couldn't help but frown, "How many children have been lost in total?"
"There are already three." Liu Susu sighed, "One is nine years old, one is eleven years old, and one is twelve years old."
Zi Ling's mother said in surprise: "The youngest is nine years old? Even if it is a human trafficker...what do they do if they abduct such a big child? It shouldn't be... Is law enforcement a qualitative abducted?"
"Actually not..." Liu Susu smiled bitterly: "There are only registered people missing and said they were abducted. In fact, it is rumored by the villagers... In recent years, in nearby villages and towns, I heard that children often lost. Later, there were more people lost, so the law enforcement investigation vigorously and strictly investigated for a while. It was indeed a little better after catching a few human traffickers, right?"
