Chapter 333: The Missing Child
Soon, Teacher Wang ran out of a room on the first floor, followed by two other people.
One was a thin man, the other was a somewhat obese woman.
"Xiao Li, what's going on?"
Teacher Wang led the two to the security guard and asked in a cold voice.
"Teacher Wang, this is not my business!"
Xiao Li panicked: "I just thought that lunch time was coming, so I went to the second floor to call the children, but when I walked to the dormitory, I found that there was no one inside, and all the children didn't know where to run!" ”
Teacher Wang frowned: "Could it be that you didn't pay attention and ran out?" ”
"Impossible."
Xiao Li hurriedly shook his head and said, "I've been staying in the security room, so many children want to sneak out, it's basically impossible." ”
"Just now an outsider swaggered in, didn't you notice it?"
Teacher Wang asked rhetorically.
"Just now...... It was an accident, and I really didn't pay attention. ”
Xiao Li hurriedly explained: "There are so many children, groups of people want to walk past me, it's impossible for me not to find out." ”
"Don't talk about so many useless things, the most important thing is to get the children back quickly!"
Teacher Wang waved his hand and began to arrange the task.
"Xiao Li, you and I go outside to look for it, even if they run outside, they must not have gone far now."
Then, Teacher Wang turned back to the man and the woman and said, "Teacher Song, Sister Sun, you two should look for it in the courtyard!" ”
After finishing speaking, Teacher Wang glanced at me again: "Mr. Cheng, you can also help find the children." ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will do my best to find it, I think the children should be nearby."
I quickly nodded and said.
Teacher Wang didn't say anything, and then took Xiao Li and hurriedly walked out of the door.
After Teacher Wang left, the man and the woman instantly relaxed, and the two walked towards the small building without hurrying, not seeing the slightest hurry.
The thin man even took out a small bottle from his pocket, put it in his mouth and took a big sip, and suddenly a strong smell of wine emanated from him.
The woman glanced at him with some disgust and said, "I said Teacher Song, how can you say that you are also a teacher, drinking like this all day long, it's a bit too unusual, right?" ”
"Hey, anyway, everyone's final result is the same, there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, I think, we don't even need to go to those children, and I don't know why Teacher Wang is so conscientious......"
"Shh......h
Sister Sun hurriedly stretched out her hand, glanced at me vigilantly, and asked Teacher Song not to talk nonsense: "You can't talk nonsense, if Teacher Wang hears it, she won't be able to spare you!" ”
"Okay, hurry up and find the child, don't let Teacher Wang find out that we are lazy!"
As she spoke, Sister Sun and Teacher Song walked into a classroom on the first floor and began to search for the missing child.
I hugged Xiao Hei and went straight to the second floor.
Because the security guard Xiao Li said just now that the dormitory of those orphans is on the second floor, there may be some clues here.
When I stepped up to the second floor, I found that there were three rooms, and on the left hand side was a large and spacious room with five wooden beds made into bunk beds, and I thought that this was the dormitory for those orphans.
When I walked into the dormitory, I found that the beds inside were neatly folded, and some of them had clay figurines, plastic dinosaurs and other toys at the head of the beds, which looked like boys' beds.
There are also a few beds with toys such as Barbie dolls and small combs, which should be girls' beds.
After searching around and finding nothing else, I walked out of the dormitory and came to the door of two other rooms.
In these two rooms, there were copper locks on the outside, and through the windows, nothing could be seen at all, and the inside was so dark that I could only give up the intention of breaking into the door for the time being.
After all, those children should and can't hide in their rooms without unlocking them.
Then, I went directly to the third floor and found that it was a bathroom, a water room and a toilet, and I searched it carefully, but I didn't find any trace of the children, and I couldn't help but wonder a little.
Did those children really run outside?
At this moment, I was standing on the landing of the third floor, thinking about the whereabouts of the children, and suddenly, I found that on the wall leading from the platform to the roof, there was a row of protruding steel bars, arranged in an orderly manner, and at the end, there was an exit, covered with a wooden plank.
Will these children climb to the roof of the building and hide?
Although the ladders formed by these steel bars are very steep, it is not impossible for seven or eight-year-olds to climb them.
Thinking of this, I let Xiao Hei squat on my shoulder, grasp the steel bar with both hands, bend his knees up, climb up, and after a while, close to the exit, I used both hands to push open the plank, and then jumped to the top of the building.
The roof of the building looks like it hasn't been visited for years, covered with a thick layer of dust, and even a lot of weeds have grown, with a water tank several meters high on the left and a pile of garbage piled up on the right, and no orphans have been found.
I first came to the water tank, spared a circle, found nothing, and asked Xiao Hei to climb to the top of the water tank, to look inside, Xiao Hei probed his brain, looked inside, and then pinched his nose and climbed down.
"Are those orphans hiding in the tank?"
Seeing Xiao Hei's expression, I couldn't help but ask.
Hei shook his head and pursed his mouth.
"You mean, there's a problem with the water?"
Looking at Xiao Hei's painful expression, I couldn't help but guess.
Xiao Hei nodded instantly, indicating that I was right.
It's not surprising that there are some problems with the water quality in this orphanage, and the most important thing for me now is to find those orphans, so I didn't check the water tank, but just turned around and walked to the garbage heap on the other side.
As soon as I opened a few planks, I saw several pairs of eyes staring at me, shivering.
It turned out that this pile of garbage was hollowed out, and those children were hidden inside!
Under my watchful eye, the orphans finally came out of it in twos and threes.
There were ten of them, three girls and seven boys, all of whom looked like they were five or six years old, seven or eight years old.
And the boy at the head, a little older, seemed to be eleven or twelve years old, he held the children tightly behind him, and took a little girl in his left hand, looking at me vigilantly, and played the role of a big brother.
"Who are you, did Mr. Wang send you to us?"
The boy stared at me and asked in a cold voice.
"Children, don't get me wrong, I'm new here, send a child to join the orphanage."
As I spoke, I patted Xiao Hei's brain: "Xiao Hei, these will be your classmates in the future, say hello to everyone." ”
