Chapter 108 Missing
Chapter 108 Missing
108
Without Zhou Xiaozhou, the breakfast at the old Wu family is no different from before.
It’s a combination of wild vegetable paste and old pickled cabbage lumps.
The difference is that the men in the family have all returned to Ali, so they made more wild vegetable porridge, and Zhou Xiaozhou reluctantly shared a bowl.
The main thing was that they didn’t know she would be back in the morning, so Zhang and Wu Sanmei didn’t prepare any portion for her.
But Zhou Xiaozhou was not angry. Instead, he ate the vegetable porridge that the Wu family had saved with some happiness and sadness.
However, the steamed buns and dumplings she brought back received unanimous praise.
Children from the mountains have never eaten this. Even Old Wu had only eaten dumplings once or twice when he was a child.
He remembered that it was the birthday of his ancestor. His father, for some reason, insisted that his mother make a bowl of dumplings with white flour as a sacrifice.
White flour is such a precious thing! After the sacrifice, of course it went into everyone's stomach. He and his brother each got several.
Oh, brother, time has passed so long that he hasn’t thought about the little kid who is always five years old for a long time.
Later, with Changren's presence in the village, life was no longer so difficult, but he never ate dumplings again.
Even though there were many beauties at home, he would not go out of his way to buy white flour and ask his wife or daughter-in-law to make such expensive food.
Old Wu didn't know anything about steamed dumplings, so Zhou Xiaozhou naturally couldn't imagine that it was because of such a past event.
She thought that the elders should save the delicious food for the younger ones so that they could eat more and grow up quickly.
Wu Xiaobao took a steamed dumpling and tried to feed it to Zhang. Zhang smiled kindly and said, "You eat it, you eat it. Mother has already eaten."
Zhou Xiaozhou was very pleased that he was indeed her good student, even though she had only taught him for a few days.
Wu Sanmei ate very quietly, but she was very happy in her heart.
It’s great that Sister Zhou came back early in the morning.
Last night, Grandpa and the others were discussing something. She passed by and eavesdropped. It was about Sister Zhou.
She was still wondering if Changren had eaten a lot of people yesterday and scared Sister Zhou.
If such a good sister Zhou left, she would be very sad. Sister Zhou was the only one who would praise her and ask her if she was willing.
"Third sister, your handwriting is very beautiful."
"Third sister, you learn really fast."
"Third sister, do you want to go to school?"
"Third sister, do you want to help?"
Really, she really doesn’t want to part with such a good sister Zhou.
"It's just that I got up too early today, and the crispy duck that you, Xiaobao, and Xiaoer wanted to eat hasn't been sold yet! I'll find a chance to go back in a couple of days, and I'll definitely bring it up for you two." Zhou Xiaozhou explained why he broke his promise.
After all, she had promised Zhao Xiaoer that she would let him eat the delicious crispy duck.
Speaking of crispy duck, those who have eaten it swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
Old Wu simply put down his half-smoked pipe.
This was his first cigarette this morning. Every morning after he got up and had breakfast, he would come here to smoke a pack of cigarettes to perk himself up.
"Miss Zhou, why didn't Teacher Ge come today?"
Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Zhou Xiaozhou's explanation.
But Zhou Xiaozhou was very single: "Xiao Ge, she is not used to this place, she may not be able to come to class for the time being. Village chief, you see, this is also my fault. I originally thought that I could find another teacher for you, but I didn't expect that this teacher is really hard to find!"
It’s no wonder that it’s so difficult to keep people in those mountains. It’s mainly because the environment is so bad.
The Xiao Ge they were talking about is now in dire straits.
Zhou Xiaozhou left without saying goodbye early in the morning, catching Chen Dahe off guard.
Chen Dahe never expected that Zhou Xiaozhou has become addicted to playing missing.
Ge Meili was very shocked. It turned out that you two were so affectionate last night, but didn't talk about the key thing at all?
Chen Dahe caught the loophole in Ge Meili's words and asked, "What's the point?"
Ge Meili: "That village of Wu's!"
Chen Dahe: "What do you mean? Explain clearly."
Seeing that Chen Dahe was really still in the dark, Ge Meili also panicked. She really didn't expect Zhou Xiaozhou to be so bold. She dared to guarantee that this brat Zhou Xiaozhou had definitely gone up the mountain again.
This small mountain village did such a big thing yesterday, I wonder if it will be the same today?
Ge Meili was also a little anxious, so she told Chen Dahe everything that happened in Lai'an Village yesterday.
After hearing this, Chen Dahe was shocked. The word "shocked" was not enough to express how surprised he was by the whole thing.
"So, you and Lu Linlin both knew about it a long time ago." After a long while, Chen Dahe finally found his voice.
Ge Meili nodded shyly.
"If things are really as you said, do you think you can get away with it if you go back now?" Chen Dahao got angry for a rare time.
Ge Meili was a little dumbfounded. Without Zhou Xiaozhou, Chen Dahe was simply not the Chen Dahe she knew.
When she was hanging out with Zhou Xiaozhou, she was always smiling whenever she saw Chen Dahe.
It turns out that this smile belongs to Zhou Xiaozhou alone. Why are the others smiling at you? It's a waste of expression.
"It's not surprising what Xiaozhou thinks, but Xiao Ge, do you still think that you two can keep this secret?" Chen Dahe's voice trembled.
What if this really is another world and Zhou Xiaozhou doesn't come back?
And it sounds like there are a lot of dangers there. What if Zhou Xiaozhou encounters danger?
"Take me right now to the tunnel you mentioned."
Chen Dahe's words are now working well for Ge Meili.
When they really drove to the place, Ge Meili was stunned.
What tunnel is there in front of us? Isn’t it just an ordinary winding mountain road?
There is a mountain on one side and a cliff slope on the other. There is really no trace of a tunnel anywhere.
Only then did Ge Meili understand why Zhou Xiaozhou told her to "hold me tight" before entering the tunnel.
It turns out that the reason she held me tightly was not just because she was afraid that Zhou Xiaozhou was driving too fast and would throw her off the car.
It may also be because only by having physical contact with Zhou Xiaozhou can one be led into another world by Zhou Xiaozhou.
Chen Dahe called the police on the spot.
However, it takes more than 48 hours for a missing person case to be filed.
There was no other way Chen Dahe could do but to call Zhou's father. He didn't want to admit his weakness and incompetence tomorrow, but there was no other way.
"Hey! Uncle, Xiaozhou is missing."
After Lao Zhou received the call, the hangover headache disappeared all of a sudden.
He began to suspect that he was hallucinating. How could Chen Dahe call him, but what he was talking about was about his daughter?
Chen Dahe would never joke about his daughter. Old Zhou couldn't lie down any longer, so he got out of bed and ran to the place where he disappeared.
