【009】Stagnant River
As expected, Wengen's parents refused Vanilla's suggestion to take Wengen to the hospital. They don't want the neighbors to talk behind their backs that their son is from a nervous disorder, they just hope that he will slowly get better in the quiet.
Ran Qin and Vanilla were helpless, so they had to give up the idea of forcibly sending Wengen to the hospital. The second measure was decisively taken and went to Chen Zhiqing's survey team to look for clues.
Unexpectedly, Xu Min had already been there before them. And learned that the survey team because of the failure of the plan to enter the uninhabited desert island some time ago, the whole team withdrew, and Chen Zhiqing and Wen Gen had something to do temporarily during the withdrawal, and the team leader was temporarily brought back by a team leader named Qin Nan.
In other words, Chen Zhiqing and Wen Gen lost contact with the team for half a month. The survey team didn't know the current situation of the two of them, in order to learn more about the situation, Vanilla and Ran Qin came to the survey team again, but unfortunately, the team leader named Qin Nan seemed to be very busy and didn't have time to receive them. When they heard from the side that the situation was similar to what Xu Min told on the phone, Monet had to walk out of the survey team, and Vanilla's heart was empty, and a sense of confusion and helplessness was stuffed in his heart.
Ran Qin was in the same mood, and she was so heavy that she couldn't breathe. The two had just walked out with heavy steps, and for a long time, the two did not say a word to each other. A shout came from behind him: "Wait! ”
His smooth and fair face revealed an angular coldness. The dark and deep eyes, the charming smile, the thick eyebrows, the high nose, and the slightly upturned lips with personality are all showing extraordinary temperament and open-mindedness. He is Qin Nan, Chen Zhiqing's assistant.
Vanilla and Ran Qin turned around at the same time, and said in unison: "What's the matter?" ”
Qin Nan smiled apologetically at the two of them and said, "I'm sorry, I was busy with other things just now, and I didn't know you were here when I went back to the office." ”
"Nothing, you're welcome." Ran Qin smiled, stepped forward, stretched out her hand and introduced herself: "Hello, I, Ran Qin." Today, I want to know about Chen Zhiqing, when and where was the last time they met you, and whether they would be separated from you because they accepted the task arrangement of your survey team alone? ”
Qin Nan smiled shyly, also stretched out his hand, and elegantly shook the other party's hand and said, "Hello! I know you, they told me just now, you're from the bureau. ”
"Hmm. That's not enough, I didn't want to show my work unit today, but one of you went to the bureau and saw me, so you know. Ran Qin grinned and smiled.
"Flowey! I know. I came out to remind you that when we were going separate ways with Captain Chen, he seemed to have said that he was going to some backwater river. ”
When Vanilla and Ran Qin heard this, their eyes lit up and said, "Where is the backwater river?" ”
"It seems that it is not far from an uninhabited desert island, and it is the only way to go to an uninhabited desert island." Qin Nan paused, and then emphasized: "The backwater river is actually not a backwater, according to the locals, it used to be a natural lake, and then it was repeatedly hit by flash floods, flooding local crops and civilian houses, and causing heavy losses, before the lake was rebuilt into a living water river."
"I seem to have heard Zhong Kui talk about this, is there still a reed by the river or something? It seems that there is another ship! Ran Qin thought hard and hurriedly added.
Qin Nan said ambiguously: "I don't know much about the situation over there, but there are indeed many strange legends over there. As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, looked up at the dazzling white cloud moving slowly in the sky, and then said embarrassedly, "It's still early, why don't you come to my office and talk?" ”
After staying for a long time, Ran Qin is always used to spying on other people's mental activities, which is very bad and has no moral heart. She hurriedly stopped her thoughts and said deliberately: "Forget it, that's it." We've got something else to do, you're busy! ”
"That'...... All right! At this moment, a petite figure flashed, and a crisp voice shouted at him: "Qin Nan, your phone." Vanilla turned her head to see that it was a girl and flashed into the office.
Bidding farewell to Qin Nan, the two decided to go to the hospital to see Zhong Kui.
Ran Qin said that Xu Min was most likely in the hospital.
Vanilla suddenly remembered that she had promised her that she would send Xu Qian home, but she forgot about it because of something else, and she really saw it in the hospital later, I don't know if she will blame herself.
The two of them had their own hearts, and when they came to the hospital, Xu Min was really there.
Xu Min had already been instructed by Ran Qin not to tell Zhong Kui about Wengen. But she still couldn't help but tell a part of what happened on the night Wen Gen came back.
When Zhong Kui continued to inquire about Wengen's situation, she did not give the details.
Zhong Kui said that he didn't eat dry rice for nothing, and from Xu Min's melancholy look, he faintly sensed that something must have happened to Chen Zhiqing and Wengen.
Vanilla and Ran Qin came to the hospital with a disguised wry smile on their faces, perfunctory Zhong Kui in various ways.
Zhong Kui felt that he was a fool, everyone in the world knew what was going on, but he was the only one who didn't know. His face was gloomy, silently looking at this, at that, his gloomy gaze scanning over their faces.
Vanilla felt his gaze with a hint of guilt.
Ran Qin felt his gaze, with scrutiny and distrust.
Xu Qian felt his gaze, like sharp teeth biting at her heart.
Xiao Ming played with the child and accidentally provoked the child to cry. The child is crying and crying for his father! This is the key outbreak, Zhong Kui's eyes are sharp and staring at Xu Min.
"The kid wants a dad, where is his dad?" Xu Min was slightly stunned by the other party's dull voice, and his heart was as uncomfortable as turning over the river, and he swallowed hard...... His father ...... "a crystal teardrop, silently sliding down on Xu Min's smooth face." Suddenly, I cried out for no reason, and the gentle crying stirred the sensitivity that was maintained in everyone's heart.
"Who told me what happened?" Zhong Kui said angrily.
Zhong Kui was angry, Vanilla was afraid, Ran Qin was afraid, and Xu Qian was even more afraid to approach.
Xu Min wiped a handful of tears and said with a wry smile: "It's nothing, you can take care of it well." ”
"Raise well? You treat me like this, can I take care of it with peace of mind? If you don't tell me the truth, just sit back and wait for my body to be collected! As he spoke, he threw his head down and pulled over the futon and covered his head entirely.
Seeing Zhong Kui like this, several women looked at each other and looked at Ran Qin with focused eyes. I hope she comes up with an idea as soon as possible.
Seeing Zhong Kui so stubborn, Ran Qin's heart was sour, and her eyes were hot. raised his face and forcibly held back the tears from flowing again, but the hard words in his throat were blocked for a while and he didn't know how to express them.
