After a while, Wang Yulin walked out of a room on the left side of the second floor, stood on the balcony and asked, "Are you looking for Lu Yao? He's not here!

"What? Lu Yao is not here, did he go to the lychee garden opposite?" Ning Hao asked.

"I really don't know about this! It's raining too much, so you can come up and talk about it. Wang Yulin said.

"Okay, let's go up. Wu Jingsheng's two hands carried his luggage and walked directly to the staircase.

They went up to the second floor and greeted each other, and Wang Yulin and two worker helpers carried the luggage to the room and hung two raincoats on the balcony to drip water. After they entered the room and sat down, Wang Yulin poured two more cups of warm water for Ning Hao and Wu Jingsheng.

"Brother, when did Lu Yao leave here, did he go to work at the boss's uncle's head office?" Wu Jingsheng asked, wiping the rain from his face.

"Lu Yao left here at about eleven o'clock last night, and he shouldn't have gone to work at the head office of the big boss. At that time, I found that his mood was not very good, and I was worried that he would encounter danger on the way down the mountain in the dark on a rainy night, so I advised him to go down the mountain after dawn, but his attitude was very resolute, and I could not keep him. Wang Yulin said guiltily.

"Did he say anything to you before he left the orchard?" Wu Jingsheng asked.

He didn't say anything but handed over the management of the orchard to me, and asked me to do my best to manage it as if it were my own. Wang Yulin said.

"Did the proprietress call?" Wu Jingsheng asked.

I've been waiting here for their call this morning. Wang Yulin said.

"Hey, you can take the initiative to call the proprietress now! Now that you are the owner of this orchard, you have to take the initiative to report to your parents, accept the formal appointment, and then ask her for instructions!" Ning Hao hurriedly said.

"But I don't have the phone number of the boss lady yet, but I know the phone number of Lychee Garden, and I will call Zeng Da and Zeng Er now to ask about the situation. Wang Yulin said, and immediately picked up the landline microphone on the desk and began to dial the number.

The phone was quickly connected: "Hey, who's that?"

"May I ask you, are you Brother Zeng? I am Wang Yulin from the orchard opposite you!"

"Oh, I'm Zeng Er, my eldest brother is stir-frying in the kitchen, I'll go and ask him to answer the phone. ”

"No, I'm just asking about Lu Yao, do you know?" asked Wang Yulin.

"What about Lu Yao? What are you going to ask him about? After twelve o'clock last night, he came to us and took away the jar of medicine and wine, saying that he was going to send it to the uncle. Zeng Er said.

"You ask him, did Lu Yao leave anything behind?" Ning Hao walked up to Wang Yulin and said. His voice was very loud, and it was estimated that Zeng Er on the other end of the phone should have heard it.

"He just said that there was something important and that he had to go down the mountain overnight. He also asked my eldest brother and me to help you, and asked us to work together to manage the two orchards. Zeng Er said.

"He couldn't have left the orchard without a reason or a sound. There must be a reason, he must have left something behind, or just a few words. Zeng Er, take a good look at the room where Lu Yao went in and out last night, and the place where he stayed, and see if there is anything left? Pay attention to the envelope and stationery, he must have left a word!" Ning Hao grabbed the microphone and said.

Just now I brought the food to the table, and when I was holding the chair, I saw a plastic bag. I looked at it, and there was an electronic watch, a pager, and a letter. Zeng Da's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"You immediately open the letter and see what Lu Yao wrote?" Ning Hao asked anxiously.

"But we can't read!" replied Zeng Da.

"Okay, you report Lu Yao's situation to the proprietress immediately, maybe she knows where Lu Yao is? We'll call you later." After Ning Hao finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Brother Yulin, why do you think Lu Yao left the orchard in a hurry? Who did he see before leaving the orchard? Or who did he answer? Do you still remember?" Wu Jingsheng asked.

"I can't really guess why. We spent the whole day yesterday in the orchard tending to the newly planted longan saplings, and he didn't have time to call, and he couldn't possibly get a call from anyone. Just before he left, the boss came up. Lu Yao went downstairs and chatted with the boss for less than ten minutes, and the boss drove down the mountain.

Originally, I fell asleep, but I had a habit of getting up at night to go to the bathroom. I got up to go to the toilet last night, and I happened to run into Lu Yao calling my eldest brother on the balcony, and then I went downstairs. I glanced downstairs and saw that there were still lights down there.

When I came back from going to the toilet, the car downstairs had already left, and Lu Yao also went upstairs to the room, and the whole process took less than ten minutes. Later, when I went to bed and just fell asleep, I was woken up by Lu Yao, and he asked me to go to the balcony to talk, that is, to hand over the orchard to me. After that, he hurried down the mountain. Wang Yulin said.

Lu Yao only saw Chen Gong before leaving the orchard, and they should have talked about what to do when the rainy season arrived. But why did Lu Yao leave the orchard in a hurry? Why didn't he leave with Chen Gong? It rained all night last night, so he should go to the stone yard to find me and Ning Hao after he came down the mountain?

"You don't have to worry about that, I grew up with him, and I know him best. Lu Yao is a cat, he has nine lives, and he can't fall to his death even if he falls off the cliff!" Ning Hao said with a big grin.

At this time, the phone rang suddenly, Wang Yulin immediately picked up the microphone and hurriedly asked, "Is it Brother Zeng?"

"Hello, I'm A-Ying, who are you?"

"Hello, hostess! I'm Wang Yulin. ”

"Hello, Lu Yao introduced you to me, and you can call me A-Ying in the future. Now please tell me more about Lu Yao's departure from the orchard last night. A-Ying said calmly on the phone.

"Good!"

Next, Wang Yulin spent about ten minutes, from seven o'clock yesterday evening after returning from work for dinner, and then Lu Yao took him to the orchard to work overtime, until eleven o'clock in the evening Lu Yao left the orchard to tell A-Ying.

"Before Lu Yao left the orchard, the last person he saw was Chen Gong, except for the four of you, right?"

"Yes!" Wang Yulin replied affirmatively.

"Okay, I got it. Now that the rainy season is on, the work in the orchard has to stop, so rest well. Feel free to call me if there is any situation. Is there anything else you need?" asked A-Ying.
