Su Qi followed the people in the school and turned the school upside down, but he never saw the figure of the iron pillar.

The director of the school's academic affairs office stood opposite Su Qi and asked with a cold face: "Die, people are not in our school." ”

Su Ji pressed his elbow against the low wall beside him, bothered his body, and muttered, "I haven't been anywhere except school, and where can I go if I am not in school." ”

The director said impatiently, "Go outside." There is a market outside today, and people from the countryside like you who have a short history of seeing it outside can't sit still for a long time. I can't even control the people I brought, and I still deserve to be a teacher? ”

The people at the school were searching under their noses, and if they hadn't, the iron pillar might not have been in the school at all.

Su Ji supported his body and prepared to go outside to find someone.

After taking two steps, Su Qi let out a sigh of relief: "A dog like you who looks down on people is not worthy of being a teacher." ”

Out of the school gate, Su Qi saw Xia Yulu running towards him.

"Su Qi, have you found it?"

Su Ji shook his head, which also made Xia Yulu chuckle in her heart, and at the suggestion of her aunt, Xia Yulu said: "When I went back, I told the captain about the loss of the iron pillar, you shouldn't be angry." ”

There was no expression on Su Qi's face: "What did the captain say?" ”

According to Xia Yulu and her aunt's speculation, without Su Qi's consent and Su Qi's absence, if she told this matter, Su Qi would definitely be furious.

In this way, Xia Yulu has a reason to put the blame on Su Qi, but Su Yulu's current reaction is completely beyond Xia Yulu's imagination.

"Ah", Xia Yulu slowed down: "The captain said that if we want to hurry up to find it, the child should be greedy to hide." ”

The anger in Su Qi's heart rushed out: "The child is lost, just like that?" Didn't you say send someone to look for it? Didn't you tell him that we had searched all the way and that there was nowhere to be found? ”

Three questions in a row stopped Xia Yulu, and the corners of her mouth moved, but she didn't know how to answer.

"I know that you won't be useful", said in disgust, and Su Qi staggered and walked outside.

Seeing this, Xia Yulu asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Find someone."

The market that was still lively in the morning has now dispersed a lot, and Su Qi inquired from the street of the market from stall to stall: "Have you seen a boy today?" He was about waist tall, wearing a dark blue dress with two patches on it. ”

"I don't see it."

Su Qi continued to walk to the next shop: "Did you see a little boy today?" So high, there's a broken sore on the mouth. ”

"Not impressed."

"Was there a boy who came alone? Not very tall, about six or seven years old, with big eyes. ”

Su Ji tried his best to recall every appearance feature of the iron pillar, but the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't remember the details.

I inquired all the way and walked the whole street, but there was still no news from the iron pillars.

Xia Yulu followed behind Su Ji, learning from Su Ji's example, and inquired about the whereabouts of the iron pillar.

Next to the streets, the doors that should be knocked on, and the places that should be found, they all wandered around.

The sun was about to set, and not a single clue was found.

Su Ji had no hope at all, and sat weakly on the side of the street, leaning against the brick wall, decadent and depressed: "What should we do, we lost our child, this time we went back to the village, how to explain to his parents, how can we live at ease in the second half of our lives." ”

Xia Yulu's aunt didn't know when she had left.

Xia Yulu has been following behind Su Yao, seeing that Su Yao has lost her spirit, and she has no idea.

After being silent for a long time, Xia Yulu cautiously asked, "Su Qi, is there really no way to do this?" ”

In his previous life, Su Qi also saw the news of a lost child, and in the era of monitoring equipment, it was not easy to find a lost child. In this era, when there are no monitoring tools, the chance of finding the iron pillar, Su Ji can figure out with his toes, how small it is.

Su Yulu's silence deepened the fear in Xia Yulu's heart, buried his face in the palm of his hand, and sobbed: "He said he was going to the bathroom, can I still stop him?" I watched so many children alone, and I couldn't leave the other children behind, so let's follow him alone. ”

Speaking of going to the bathroom, Xia Yulu asked without giving up: "Su Qi, think about it, when you were in the bathroom, did you hear a child calling you?" Didn't you hear too clearly at the time? ”

What happened at noon, Su Ji was reviewing all afternoon, but if he didn't hear it, he didn't hear it, Su Ji couldn't say nonsense: "No, I didn't hear anything, didn't he go to me at all?" ”

Xia Yulu's face stiffened: "It shouldn't be, I specifically told you." ”

Su Qi didn't reply again, and in a silent and tense atmosphere, Su Qi said in a trembling voice: "Su Qi, I can't have anything to do with this matter, otherwise I won't have to go back to the city in my life." ”

"Su Qi, I can't stay in this place forever, you must help me."

Su Ji didn't expect Xia Yulu to be so shameless, and asked sharply, "How can I help you?" A person to take on this matter? You can't be implicated, can I? You're afraid that you'll lose your place to go back to the city because of this, so what about me, I'll go back to the city too. ”

Xia Yulu is also reasonable: "We are different. Su Qi, you are already married, your household registration has fallen in the village, Yan Shoucheng is good to you, and there is a father-in-law who is the captain, even if you don't go back to the city, with Yan Shoucheng and the captain covering, you shouldn't be bad. ”

"My family doesn't have any connections here, and if I really be forced to live on the streets because of this incident, my life will be ruined."

"Su Qi, for the sake of the two of us sharing the same bed for so many days, please help me."

At the critical moment, the true nature of man is revealed. Xia Yulu, who used to be generous and kind, also became selfish in the face of this matter.

Su Ji sneered in his heart, and ruthlessly rejected Xia Yulu's request: "Take care of your own affairs, I can't help you, and I won't help you." ”

"The priority now is to call on more people to come to someone, not to sigh here."

As soon as Su Qi's words fell, he turned his head and saw a group of people running from the opposite side, Yan Fusheng took the lead, and Yan Qingshan and Ge Yunlan followed behind.

Getting closer, Yan Fusheng asked, "Have you found the child?" Why are you all resting here? ”

When the matter came to this, Su Ji didn't think about hiding it: "I have found all the places that should be looking, but I haven't seen anyone." I asked all the way and inquired, but I said that I had never seen it. This person is as if the world has evaporated, and if he says no, he will be gone. ”

Xia Yulu replied in a harmonious voice: "We tried our best to find it this afternoon." But where this kid has gone, we can't figure out. There's really nothing you can do. ”

Ge Yunlan: "What do you mean by powerlessness?" What do you mean by not being able to think of it? Lost my child. Are you just resting and playing here? ”
