No one thought that Qin Youlan returned to Yizhou County, and when Qin Youlan returned to the county seat, Niu Guangrong and Kan Xia got on the bus with their voices and prepared to rush back to the county seat, because, after Qin Youlan left, Kan Xia asked Niu Guangrong: "What did Youlan do?" ”

Niu Guangrong said about what Qin Youlan said, and when Kan Xia heard it, didn't she run away from home? Eyes glared: "You're like this, let her go?" ”

"yes, she had to let her go if she wanted to." Niu Guangrong looked helpless.

"You bastard, why did you let her go ——, you? Are you still old comrades-in-arms? At the very least, you have to inform Bangguo, and Bangguo agrees to let her go. How can you let her go without the state knowing? The kingdom is not in a hurry to die. If you can't find it, you're the culprit. Big stupid, big bastard! ”

Niu Guangrong patted his head: "I····· I, such a fucking bastard, such a fucking bastard, how did I forget about this stubble. Now what? Wife, what do you say you should do? ”

"Hurry up to the county, make it clear to Bangguo, see what his opinion is, if you want to find it, you have to launch a militia to find it, if he doesn't look for it, you don't have to bother, let her go, next, I don't know what the result is."

"Then I will notify the militia to gather now, block all the intersections in the district, and find that there are young women in their early twenties and immediately send them to the district government, and order a few staff members in the district who know Qin Youlan to rush to the townships, check, and arrange it now. Should be able to find her. ”

Niu Guangrong turned around and ran out of the office, summoned the staff, made arrangements, and then said to the district chief: "Regarding Qin Youlan's departure, we must take it seriously, and we can't have the slightest paralyzing thoughts. If found, send it to the prefecture immediately. I had to rush to the county and report to the secretary. ”

"Secretary, please rest assured, I will definitely complete this difficult task, as long as I am still in this district, I will definitely be able to find it." The district chief is a young man in his early twenties, energetic and energetic, and he respects this one-armed secretary very much, and he must do his best to complete the tasks assigned by Niu Guangrong: "How long has the wife of the county high-ranking official been away?" ”

"Between thirty minutes and an hour, I can't remember the specifics."

"We should not go far, not more than ten miles, we set up a card at 20 kilometers, we should be able to find it, we will not go too far," the district chief analyzed.

Niu Guangrong didn't say anything more. just urged: "This is because of my mistake, which caused the wife of the county official to run away from home, I hope the district chief can help me and make my mistake a little smaller." ”

"I understand, I'll send someone to go right away." The district chief quickly sent people to set off, and there was no delay for a minute.

At that time, there was no faster means of transportation in the district. There were only two horses and two bicycles, and the district chief immediately arranged for the members of the district squadron to set off. And ordered the four men: "Report to me once an hour,"

When Niu Guangrong returned home, he said to Kan Xia, "Let's leave for the prefecture immediately,"

"The meal is ready, let's eat something and go."

"I can't eat it, and I can't eat it."

"The little one is well fed,"

"That's good, let's hurry to the county seat. I'm anxious right now. Suga settled her child and immediately set off with a voice. Qin Youlan came by the first bus, took the second bus, and Niu Guangrong took the third bus. The interval between the two buses is also one hour.

There was not much time for the shuttle bus to arrive at the county seat, that is, an hour and ten minutes, that is, Niu Guangrong began to set off, and Qin Youlan got off in the county. Qin Youlan stayed in a small hostel opposite the county government, which was a small room that had been observed in advance, and sitting in front of the window, she could clearly see the gate of the county government and everyone who came in and out. An hour later, Qin Youlan saw Niu Guangrong and his wife who came in a hurry. With the voice on her back, Kan Xia and Niu Guangrong walked into the county government compound, which was the location of the old county government, the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty, and the office of the Kuomintang county magistrate. The Communist Party established a county government, which also worked on the same site.

Qin Youlan sat in front of the window and her heart was like a knife, and when she saw the sound of Kan Xia's back, she really wanted to rush out and hug it. Crying and shouting, "Mommy will never leave you again." ”

I stood up twice, sat down twice, and finally insisted on not going out of the hostel, and kept telling myself in my heart: "My heart must be ruthless, otherwise, I will delay the state and the voice, I can't go out, I can't go out." I came to see the voice for the last time. ”

In the county government, after listening to Niu Guangrong's return, An Bangguo dialed the number in the district: "Hey, I'm An Bangguo-"

When the district chief heard this, he hurriedly reported: "Secretary An, all the twelve townships have been searched, and no trace of Mrs. has been found for the time being. ”

"Where there is a nunnery, you must search, and there can be no omission,"

"Yes, Secretary An, there will be no omission." The district chief reported: "I also conducted a strict investigation at the station, and both the station manager and the ticket seller said that no young woman bought tickets and left. The stationmaster recalled that the first train came down with a young woman of three or four years old, and I told him that it was this woman and whether he had taken the bus back. The stationmaster affirmed that there was absolutely no departure. ”

After Niu Guangrong left, Ren Xiaoqiao walked into the office of the county senior official and hugged him: "What kind of person, how can you leave the child alone?" Ren Xiaoqiao was in the county at the time in the Propaganda Department, as an officer. Twenty years old, two years younger than Qin Youlan.

The voice rebuked loudly: "Don't speak ill of your mother,"

Ren Xiaoqiao said: "The voice is so good, I know how to protect my mother, a good aunt doesn't say it, and an aunt doesn't say it." Then, he walked up to An Bangguo with a voice: "Secretary An, I'll help you take care of the child." ”

An Bangguo didn't say anything, Ren Xiaoqiao went out with his voice, Niu Guangrong didn't mention the matter of organizing the conversation, and Ren Xiaoqiao didn't say anything. An Bangguo was completely unaware,

An hour later, An Bangguo came to the nunnery in the northeast corner of the county, met the master in charge, explained the situation in detail, and finally said: "I hope the master will check, I can't do without him, and the child can't do without her,"

Mrs. Shi said: "The poor nun understands that my nunnery has eighteen fast horses, and I will send them out immediately, and I will be able to check them all in two hours, and when I get the news, I will report to you immediately." ”

"Catch up, catch up, Mrs., I'll set off at four o'clock in the afternoon, as long as I find this person, you must arrest me,"

An Bangguo didn't know that just a dozen meters away from him, Qin Youlan, who was disguised as an old lady, was burning incense and worshiping the Bodhisattva, and she heard the conversation between the two people clearly. Tears kept rolling down. Knowing that Bangguo still loved her, Qin Youlan was content. It's just that Ren Xiaoqiao took advantage of the loophole, and he was unwilling.
