"What does it mean to be gone?"

Lu Dongye hurriedly got up and began to quickly get dressed.

No matter how mature Jiang Boran is, he is only a ten-year-old child after all.

Obviously, Zhuo Meiqian's sudden disappearance broke the barrier of this child's calmness.

At this time, he said with a panicked face: "I—I don't know...... I figured it out, I went to my mother's room to find her, I wanted to apologize to her, but, there was no one in her room, I thought she was going to the toilet, so I went to the toilet door to wait, as a result, I waited for a long time, and I didn't see her come out, I ran in to see, there was no one inside, I couldn't find my mother. ”

"Don't worry, I'll find it for you!"

Lu Dongye put on a coat casually after putting on his pants, grabbed his mobile phone, and dialed Zhuo Meiqian's number.

But what I heard was that the other party had turned off the phone.

Lu Dongye frowned.

Jiang Boran saw it in his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Can't you make a phone call?"

"It's okay, come with me. ”

Lu Dongye didn't say a word, turned around and rushed out of the door: "She may go out at night and go around the school to relax." ”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Boran's panicked expression eased a little.

So, following Lu Dongye, the two walked out of the dormitory building.

However, Nanling Primary School is not big, and after the two of them turned around, they didn't find any trace of Zhuo Meiqian at all.

At this time, Lu Dongye was also anxious.

He hurriedly called Lin Fengxian: "Minister Lin, is Zhuo Meiqian out of school?"

Lin Fengxian was obviously asleep, and his speech was still a little confused: "...... I don't know, huh, isn't she there?"

Lu Dongye suddenly felt a little big: "When did you close the school gate? Didn't you see her go out?"

"Principal Lu, you wait, I'll go and ask Duan Gongqing right away, he is on duty this afternoon. ”

After saying this, Lin Fengxian took the initiative to hang up the phone.

Lu Dongye simply took Jiang Boran and walked directly towards the monitoring room.

Before he walked to the monitoring room, he saw Lin Fengxian come out with Duan Gongqing.

"What's going on?"

Lu Dongye stepped forward to ask.

"Principal Lu, after the children's physical education class in the evening, I will close both gates, about eight o'clock. ”

Duan Gongqing said: "I didn't see anyone go out, and Ms. Zhuo didn't ask me to open the gate, I want to check now to see if there are traces of prying on the gate." ”

So, a group of four people hurriedly ran to the gate to check, and found that the gate had absolutely no traces of damage.

"There's no way she's going to get out over the wall. ”

This is Lim Bong-hyun's summary.

Lu Dongye was silent for a moment, and immediately said: "Go, let's hurry up and check the surveillance video now to see when she left." ”

So, the four of them hurriedly came to the monitoring room.

Lu Dongye was busy contacting Chen Muqian, Li Xiaoyu, and even Xue Liangdong.

Then I learned that the last time I saw Zhuo Meiqian was at dinner in the afternoon, and since then, no one has seen her again.

Knowing that Zhuo Meiqian was missing, these people who had been questioned couldn't help but hurry to the monitoring room.

At this time, Lin Fengxian had already edited the video after lunch into four images, which were placed on four screens, and accelerated several times, so that everyone could find Zhuo Meiqian's figure together.

Jiang Boran naturally joined everyone to carefully check the surveillance video.

Lu Dongye kept calling Zhuo Meiqian one phone after another.

But it all turned out to be ...... Powered off, unconnected.

As the minutes and seconds passed, everyone began to gradually become anxious.

The small monitoring room was filled with impatient sighs.

Finally, at ten o'clock in the evening......

"Found it, found it!"

Lin Fengxian yelled, and everyone immediately turned their heads and twisted their heads towards his display.

I saw that the time was 7:40 p.m.

As the weather gets cooler, it's already dark at this time.

saw that when the children were still in physical education class, Zhuo Meiqian walked out of the dormitory building alone.

Everyone was focused on doing their own thing, and no one noticed her at all.

So, she walked out of the school gate in such a grand manner.

Didn't tell anyone where she was going.

"She's gone to the village! I'll call the village chief right away!"

Lu Dongye didn't say a word, and immediately made a phone call to the village chief: "Village chief, is Ms. Zhuo in the village now? Whose house does she live in? Why don't you come back?"

I heard the village chief say, "...... I don't know, you wait, I'll get up and ask you now. ”

Lu Dongye hung up the phone and said directly: "The village chief doesn't know, you wait for me, I'll hurry up to the village to ask." ”

However, Jiang Boran followed and ran out: "Principal Lu, I'll go with you." ”

Lu Dongye wanted to refuse, because Jiang Boran really couldn't keep up with his speed.

But seeing Jiang Boran's anxious look, Lu Dongye's heart suddenly softened.

He knew that this young man actually cared about his mother very much.

Then he said, "Okay, let's go!"

So, the two walked out of the dormitory in discredit.

While walking towards the village, Jiang Boran muttered anxiously: "My mother, she is most afraid of the dark, and now I don't know if she doesn't dare to come back, but there is no one she knows in the village, why doesn't she say anything." ”

Lu Dongye looked at this young man with an eager face.

In my heart, there was a lot of relief.

Although this teenager once complained that her mother was timid and afraid of the dark, it seems that she has always been a little man in her heart.

When the two came to the village as fast as Jiang Boran could, they saw that the village chief had already called out a lot of Liu Zhaoqi's people and began to knock on doors in the village.

Seeing this phenomenon, Lu Dongye immediately frowned.

Jiang Boran next to him looked even more panicked: "Everyone... Everyone doesn't seem to know that my mother is in the village!"

"Don't be nervous, let's wait a while. ”

Lu Dongye hugged Jiang Boran's shoulders tightly, and he could feel that Jiang Boran's whole body was trembling in panic.

After waiting for a while, I didn't expect Lin Fengxian, Chen Muqian and others to come out of the school.

Everyone wants to be the first to know.

However, the results ...... But it instantly chilled everyone's hearts.

"No, no one saw Zhuo Meiqian!"

After collecting the news, the village chief said: "Zhuo Meiqian didn't live in anyone's house either!"

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.

Behind the village chief, there are lonely old people, and young and strong people from other villages.

Lv Dongye's side, Chen Muqian, Lin Fengxian, Duan Gongqing, Li Xiaoyu, Doctor Xue, Mrs. Xue and Xue Liangdong...... All of them looked pale.

"Mom!!!!!!"

"Mom!!!!!!!!!"

"Mom!!!!!!!!!! where are you!!!!!!!"

Jiang Boran suddenly let out a loud roar.

His roar instantly disturbed many sparrows sleeping on the roof.

But no one answered him except the fluttering of the wings of the frightened birds.

Lu Dongye could feel that Jiang Boran in his arms was struggling frantically, he called out to his mother one after another, repeating it again and again, until his voice was hoarse, and he didn't want to stop.

His features were distorted, and tears were falling down one by one.

By the end of the shout, it had become: "Mom! I'm Boran!!"

But even though his voice was hoarse, there was no voice to answer him.

Finally, he turned his head and looked at Lu Dongye: "Where did my mother go? Where did my mother go? It was so dark, she was about to die of fright!"

Before Lu Dongye could speak, Liu Zhaoqi couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Principal Lu, I have a lot of people, I will immediately take someone to the back mountain to search!"

Lu Dongye didn't say much, just nodded calmly: "I've worked hard for you, I'll add money to you." ”

Liu Zhaoqi immediately waved his hand: "When is it! What kind of money are you talking to me about!"

After that, he turned around and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to the back mountain to search! I tell you, this is voluntary labor tonight, and if you want money, go back to sleep for me!!"

And he saw that none of these people he brought with him turned around.

Liu Zhaoqi nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go!"

Lu Dongye hurriedly added: "Don't go into the mountains, you know?"

Liu Zhaoqi nodded, and as soon as he walked away with the front foot, Jiang Boran asked in great horror: "Principal Lu, what is in the deep mountains?"

"Vipers, beasts. ”

Lu Dongye did not avoid this topic: "I know what you want to say, your mother will definitely not go into the back mountain!"

Jiang Boran was obviously not so easily persuaded: "But, but what if she enters by mistake?"

"You also know that your mother is so afraid of the dark, there is no light in the back mountain, even if she can go, it is impossible for her to go into the deep mountains!"

Lu Dongye reasoned with him: "Maybe, she may have passed out in the back mountain, after all, your mother is so thin, it is very likely that she will have low blood sugar or be in a coma for other reasons." ”

Jiang Boran immediately quieted down.

Lu Dongye handed him over to Lin Fengxian: "You honestly take it here, and I will also go to the back mountain to have a look." ”

Jiang Boran nodded heavily.

Lin Fengxian even said: "Leave it to me, you can rest assured." ”

Lu Dongye came to the back mountain without stopping, and saw that Liu Zhaoqi and his gang had begun to look for them with flashlights.

Of course, the purpose of his visit to Houshan was not to join the search team.

But in the first time, I found Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang looked confused, as if he couldn't figure out why so many people came at night.

But I was still very happy to see Lu Dongye.

Lu Dongye didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked if it had seen Zhuo Meiqian.

But no matter how Lu Dongye describes it or asks, Xiao Huang always has a "shake his head" answer.

Finally, Lu Dongye asked concludingly: "In other words, you have never seen anyone come to the back mountain at night, and you have never seen anyone enter the deep mountain, right?"

Xiao Huang nodded heavily.

Lu Dongye understood, and he was relieved: "Okay, Xiao Huang, thank you, you go to sleep, I'm going to continue looking for this person." ”

After that, he put down Xiao Huang and dialed Liu Zhaoqi's phone: "You call everyone back, don't search in the back mountain, I just got the news, Zhuo Meiqian has not been here, I'm really sorry, let you work in vain." ”

Liu Zhaoqi immediately said: "Principal Lu, what are you talking about! In order to find someone! This is not a busy job in vain! Then I will gather people to go back first!"

"Okay. ”

Lu Dongye hung up the phone before whispering: "Thank you." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Huang tilted his head to look at Lu Dongye, seemingly puzzled.

Lu Dongye squatted down again and smiled at it: "Xiao Huang, it's okay, you don't have to worry, you didn't see it, it means that she really didn't come to the back mountain, go to sleep, and when there is news, I'll tell you as soon as I come back, okay?"

"Wow!!"

Xiao Huang grinned at this time.
