Chapter 3730 Fall
"The rain is still heavy, you have to be careful."
In front of the welfare home, the director gave instructions to everyone.
At this time, Cha Tiantian was standing next to him, supporting the dean and comforting him, "Don't worry, dean. Chen Yu is usually a smart person, he should be fine."
"If you are really smart, you wouldn't do such a stupid thing!" The dean said angrily, "Is this what I usually teach you? Stealing someone else's car and driving without a license, is that right?"
"The child is still young, and he's a boy..."
"Don't speak for him!"
Cha Tiantian had no choice but to keep silent. The dean was really angry, and no one's persuasion was usually of any use at times like this... Soon, the yellow bus and the black MPV drove out one after another.
……
Zi Ling's mother did not actually drive the old yellow bus that the welfare home used to pick up children to go to school in the county... the driver was the gatekeeper, old man Li.
In addition to being a doorman, Old Man Li also works part-time as a driver for the welfare home. The reason why he doesn't let Ren Ziling drive is very simple: he just doesn't want anyone else to touch his little yellow bus.
If Zi Ling's mother wasn't in a hurry to find someone, she would have talked to old man Li.
In addition to Liu Susu, Li Zi was also accompanying them... The journey on Luo Qiu's side was much simpler because they would take the same route they came from.
The wipers were already at maximum gear, but there was still a layer of water on the windshield. The car's speed was limited, so even with the high beam on, all I could see was a blur in front of me.
The atmosphere on the yellow bus was a bit depressing... But old man Li seemed very calm, controlling the steering wheel while smoking his pipe, doing whatever he wanted freely.
"Sister Liu, how old is Chen Yu? Is he very naughty on weekdays?" Zi Ling's mother casually found a topic.
"He's in his second year of high school." Liu Susu thought for a moment and said, "This child is usually very active, but he takes good care of his younger brothers and sisters in the hospital. He's actually not a bad person... I don't know what happened today, he just became like this."
"Has anything happened to him recently?" Zi Ling's mother said with great experience: "Boys in adolescence have very complicated thoughts... Is Chen Yu doing well in school? Is he being bullied or something?"
"That kid, it's good enough that he doesn't bully others." Old Man Li said suddenly, "He often comes back with injuries. He is a restless person. He has been to the police station several times for fighting. He is even worse than you were back then."
"..." Zi Ling's mother glared at him subconsciously, "Old man Li, just say what you want to say, why bring up what happened in the past!"
Old man Li tapped his pipe and continued smoking, pretending he didn't hear... but he didn't continue talking either.
Li Zi, however, looked like she couldn't help laughing.
She probably knew why everyone in the yard said that this old man was weird and taciturn - because this old man Li spoke in a feminine... sissy tone.
Liu Susu, who was sitting nearby, looked disoriented and muttered something like "God bless you".
Zi Ling's mother consoled her, "Sister Liu, it's okay. Boys in their second year of high school are actually not that young anymore."
"I hope so." Liu Susu sighed, "Don't let anything happen again. We've already..."
At this moment, the yellow bus suddenly made a sharp turn.
"Old man Li, do you know how to drive? If not, let me do it!" Zi Ling's mother was not tolerant at all. She almost hit her head when she made a sharp turn just now.
"There's water on the road and it's slippery." Old man Li responded indifferently.
After Li Zi steadied herself, she turned to look at Liu Susu and said, "Sister Liu, what did you say happened this year?"
"No, nothing." Liu Susu shook her head and said, "I'm just worried. Don't take it to heart."
Li Zi blinked and glanced at Ren Ziling subconsciously...then she saw Ziling's mother gave her a look and shook her head slightly - Li Zi understood immediately and did not ask any further questions.
"I wonder if Xiao Luo has discovered anything." Li Zi said.
"If they find anything, they'll let us know." Zi Ling's mother looked out the window. This newly built road was built along the mountain road. Below, they could see a lake that looked pitch black in the bad weather. "Sister Liu, is that Lover's Beach below?"
"Ah, yes." Liu Susu nodded, "There is a section that goes around Lover's Beach. It seems that when it was built, it was also intended to be a rural sightseeing self-driving greenway or something."
"Come to think of it, I still don't know why this place is called Lover's Beach?" Li Zi asked curiously.
Zi Ling's mother thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the details, but the version I heard when I was a child said that there were two people who loved each other but were not tolerated by the world, and they committed suicide here. Every year at a certain time, the lake would turn pink, symbolizing the love between the couple... something like that."
Li Zi said with a disappointed look on her face, "Sister, there are at least eight hundred legends like this in Shenzhou, if not a thousand..."
"If we want to build a tourist attraction here, we have to create some gimmicks." Zi Ling's mother smiled and said, "In fact, the lake water turns red only because of the reflection of the leaves on the lakeside turning red in late autumn and early winter. It is especially bright at sunrise or sunset... Anyway, I've seen it many times, and it's nothing special."
"It wasn't a suicide for love, it was drowning in a pig cage." Old Man Li said suddenly, "The woman was beaten to death when she resisted. Her blood floated on the lake for three days and three nights before it dispersed. The man also went crazy and tied himself to stones and sank into the lake."
"...Old man Li, where did you hear this version?" Zi Ling's mother took a look and said, "Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"There are many things you don't know." Old Man Li said calmly, "Who would tell a little girl like you about this kind of thing?"
Zi Ling's mother rolled her eyes in annoyance and was so annoyed by Old Man Li that she didn't want to talk.
……
On the other side of the road, the car was driving slowly and steadily under Bai Zhi's control... Bai Zhi looked at Luo Qiu's face through the rearview mirror from time to time.
"What's wrong, Bai Zhi?"
"Ah... no, no." Bai Zhi quickly looked straight ahead, not daring to look around.
Luo Qiu smiled and said, "You can tell me."
Bai Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Master, do you like roasted sweet potatoes?"
Luo Qiu couldn't help but blink his eyes, but he responded: "I can't say I like it, but I don't hate it either... But the sweet potato soup is okay, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Hahaha... nothing, just curious." Bai Zhi said quickly - Miss Li Zi's credibility is MIN!
Luo Qiu smiled and said, "No need to drive forward, just find a place to stop ahead. Chen Yu is not on this road."
"Okay." Bai Zhi nodded and found a place in front to park the car.
After a while, the chassis of the car pressed down slightly... and the maid appeared out of nowhere in the back seat of the car.
The moment I got on the car, the maid left...I took advantage of this time to [learn] some things.
"Master, this is the development plan of the developer company." The maid handed over a very thick project book. "There is no plan to rebuild the welfare home here. Their promise to the welfare home should be just a blank check."
Luo Qiu...Boss Luo was flipping through the project book, reading ten pages at a glance.
The maid said, "This method is very common. Once the welfare home receives the first installment of compensation, it will probably continue to default on payments. In addition, this company seems to be just a puppet company, and the financial backer behind it is a man named [Toshio Odagiri]."
"Is that so..." Boss Luo threw the project book aside and said calmly, "Just do whatever you want. I don't want to see anything happen to the welfare home."
"Okay." The maid nodded. "By the way, this material was found in the developer's safe. I think you should take a look at it, Master."
In addition to some photos, there was also a USB and some transfer records in the file bag.
"Um……"
Boss Luo picked up one of the photos and looked at it, his eyes changed slightly.
……
……
The little yellow bus slowly stopped to the side of the road... Zi Ling's mother and a few others hurriedly got off the bus holding umbrellas.
I saw that the guardrail beside the road had been crashed through, and a white Continental GT had crashed into the trunk of a greening Miscanthus tree, with a corner of the front of the car dented.
"Maybe it slipped?" Ren Ziling frowned.
The car door was open, facing the cliff side of the winding mountain road, but there was no one in the driver's seat.
Liu Susu fell to the ground as if the world was spinning around her. Her face turned pale and she said in a trembling voice, "Chen Yu... Chen Yu won't, won't he fall down?"
"Sister, look, there's a piece of clothing over there... It looks like a school uniform?" Li Zi grabbed the railing and looked down, then pointed at a thuja tree growing on the cliff.
"It's Chen Yu's school uniform!" Liu Susu screamed, "He really fell down! What should I do... If he falls from here, will he be okay?"
"Sister Liu, let's not panic." Zi Ling's mother took a deep breath and took out her cell phone. "Anyway... let's report the case first. In this situation, we can only send a search and rescue team."
……
"Okay, I understand the situation." Luo Qiu nodded and said to Zi Ling's mother on the other end of the phone, "Let's drive to your place first."
As he spoke, Luo Qiu made a U-turn gesture to Bai Zhi.
The maid said at this time: "Baizhi, the speed can be increased appropriately, but not too fast."
Bai Zhi, who was planning to drift through the corner, quickly reduced her speed into the corner...she could only drive about 120 or 130 km/h.
When the black MPV arrived at the location of the yellow bus, a law enforcement patrol car and a rescue team's car had already arrived earlier, and even the members of the search and rescue team had already begun preparing to go down and carry out search and rescue work.
You Ye quickly opened the car door to allow Zi Ling's mother to come in, and took out a towel to wipe the parts of Zi Ling's mother's body that were wet by the rain.
"We're lucky." Zi Ling's mother said quickly, "There was a mudslide not far ahead, and the fire department is right there. They came not long after I called to report the incident."
"What's the situation?" Luo Qiu thought for a moment and asked.
Zi Ling's mother pointed and said, "There is a tree that was struck by lightning. I guess Chen Yu was frightened and didn't have enough driving experience. The car skidded and broke through the guardrail, crashing into the tree trunk on the edge of the cliff, and it seemed to have flipped over a little. Chen Yu must have been a little confused at the time? He wanted to open the door to escape, but the door was facing the cliff, so he slipped and fell. We found his clothes on a cliff cypress below. They must have been left there by the collision."
"Has the dean been notified?" Luo Qiu thought for a moment and asked.
"I've notified them." Zi Ling's mother sighed, "The old woman... the director fainted on the spot. Hey, don't be fooled by her vicious words. In fact, she cares about the children in the orphanage more than anyone else. This incident is a big blow to her."
At this time, a member of the rescue team came over and knocked on the door.
He should be the leader of the rescue team.
The captain wiped the water off his face and said, "It's raining too hard. Our people can't go down. It's too dangerous. We can only wait for the rain to subside! There is really no other way! Many places have collapsed today. We are too busy to handle it!"
Ren Ziling said: "But...but we can't just leave it like this!"
"There's nothing we can do!" The captain said helplessly, "Wait until the rain stops, and we'll go down right away!"
"Master, human life is at stake!"
"How about this, I'll leave two team members here, and when the conditions are right, we'll go down right away."
"thanks, thanks!"
"You guys don't have to stay here." The captain said hurriedly, "The slope reinforcement project in this area is not complete. It's raining so hard that there is a danger of toppling at any time! You guys should go back quickly, don't let anything happen again, we really can't take care of it! Don't get in the way here!"
At this point, Zi Ling's mother had no choice but to agree. Keeping him would only cause more trouble... and she was more worried about the dean's condition.
"Let's go back to the welfare home first... There's no other way."
……
……
"How is it, Dean, are you okay?"
This time, the MPV followed the yellow bus and drove directly into the playground of the welfare home and stopped next to the house... Cha Tiantian was waiting anxiously at this time.
Zi Ling's mother pushed the door open and got out of the car, "Miss Cha, how is the dean's condition now? Is it serious?"
"He's awake, and a nurse is taking care of him." Cha Tiantian sighed and said, "Just now, the dean fell down after receiving your call. I was really scared... Chen Yu, is he, is he really in trouble? Have you found him?"
"The conditions are too bad, the rescue team can't go down." Zi Ling's mother sighed, "We don't know whether he is alive or dead."
“How could this happen…” Cha Tiantian subconsciously covered his mouth, his face full of horror.
"I'll go see the old lady first." Zi Ling's mother said directly, and walked quickly towards the small building of the dean's office.
Liu Susu walked up to Cha Tiantian at this time, "Tiantian, Chen Yu's matter has not been spread out, right?"
Cha Tiantian nodded and said, "No, we kept it a secret. Only a few caregivers knew about it... How could I dare to tell the children? But... But this can't be kept secret for long?"
"It's better to keep it a secret for a while." Liu Susu sighed, "I hope he will be blessed by heaven... By the way, everyone is tired and caught in the rain. Go get some hot tea and some food."
"I'm going right now!"
"Actually, I made some grilled..." Li Zi was about to speak, but suddenly stopped - her eyes narrowed slightly.
Then I saw a series of small figures, like stars, standing on the playground in the heavy rain, watching Cha Tiantian walking towards the cafeteria with an umbrella...
"I go……"
Li Zi was stunned, but saw that except for herself, everyone else had already walked into the house... They all had their backs to her, as if they didn't notice what was happening?
……
……
“Smells so good…Who roasted the sweet potatoes?”
As soon as she walked into the kitchen, Cha Tiantian smelled a sweet smell... She dug under the stove and dug out several large pieces of well-roasted sweet potatoes.
"Hiss...it's so hot!"
Cha Tiantian pinched his ears all of a sudden... Suddenly, footsteps were heard, and Cha Tiantian subconsciously got goose bumps all over his body.
She gritted her teeth, grabbed a handful of wood ash from under the stove, turned around, and shouted, "Who!"
"Ah...Tiantian!"
"Ah, Bang?"
After seeing clearly that the person approaching him quietly was Brother Ah Bang, Cha Tiantian couldn't help but frowned, and quietly threw the wood ash he was about to spread back to the ground.
She looked at Ah Bang in front of her suspiciously, "How did you get into this state?"
Ah Bang was all wet, and his hair looked more like seaweed... Ah Bang smiled innocently and said, "I'm going to pick persimmons."
As he spoke, he turned around and the basket on his back was full of persimmons.
"...Are you stupid? Who would take advantage of something like this?" Cha Tiantian couldn't help but roll her eyes - she knew that Ah Bangge wasn't very smart, but it shouldn't be that serious, right?
"If I don't pick them, they will be damaged by the heavy rain. That would be such a pity!" Ah Bang smiled and said, "I will pick persimmons and sell them to buy you a big car!"
"...Thank you?" Cha Tiantian couldn't help but sigh and took out a tissue from his pocket, "Wipe my face! Also, I don't like big cars anymore."
"So what do you like?" Ah Bang asked curiously.
Cha Tiantian said, "Skirts, I like skirts... white skirts, and I only like skirts that cost less than 100 yuan."
"I have a hundred yuan!" Brother Ah Bang seemed very happy at this time and ran out of the kitchen quickly.
"Come back!" Cha Tiantian said unhappily, "Now is not the time to buy anything, idiot! Come and help me pack out the roasted sweet potatoes. They're too hot!"
"oh oh!"
"...wouldn't you put the basket down first?"
"That's right!" Ah Bang smiled and said, "Tiantian, you are so smart!"
Cha Tiantian looked at the busy Ah Bang, sighed subconsciously, and muttered: "If I were really smart, I wouldn't still be here now..."
"Tiantian, what did you say?"
"I told you to hurry up!"
"Oh!"
