Chapter 3735 Candy

The news that Chen Yu was found spread quickly...It was Liu Susu who informed the welfare home’s work group.

When the dean simply packed up and was about to leave, he ran into Zhang Lan who came with Cha Tiantian downstairs.

"Dean grandma, I want to go see Chen Yu, too. Please let me go with you. I beg you."

The girl looked very anxious, perhaps she had cried when she heard the news, her eyes were slightly red.

"Yes, Dean, I also want to go see Chen Yu." Cha Tiantian also pleaded at this time.

The dean frowned and said, "Chen Yu hasn't woken up yet, and I don't know the situation yet. What can we do with so many people? It's a waste of time! Cha Tiantian, don't you have to work? Why don't you take Zhang Lan back?"

Cha Tiantian had no choice but to look to Liu Susu for help... Zhang Lan had begged her for a long time before this happened.

"What can possibly happen in the hospital? I'm here to watch over it!" Sister Liu understood. "Besides, you're not in good health, so what's wrong with having a few more people? Go, everyone go... Old man Li, I think we should just drive the yellow bus over there, there's enough room for everyone!"

You know what, originally Zi Ling's mother was planning to give way to the maid lady's MPV, but now the little yellow bus is better... Regardless of the comfort, it can really hold a lot of things.

"Old woman, it seems that they won't give up even if you don't let them go." Zi Ling's mother said directly: "Just do as Sister Liu said. Anyway, my car has been towed away by the rescue team in the town, and I also need to go to do business, so why not go together?"

"Whatever you want." The dean looked around unhappily and said, "Old Li, go drive the car!"

……

Old man Li drove out the yellow bus quickly.

This is probably the first time that Youye has taken such a simple means of transportation?

Seeing the man radiating an aristocratic aura, standing here alone as if he were a future child's play of the Palace of Versailles, Zi Ling's mother suddenly felt out of place.

"How about...you and Luo Qiu drive your own car?" Zi Ling's mother whispered in the maid's ear.

But the maid just smiled slightly, took Zi Ling's mother's arm, picked a seat at the back and sat down.

"That's good." She looked at Zi Ling's mother and said softly.

Zi Ling's mother was so moved that she had already imagined a small plot in her mind where if her eldest son let You Ye down, she would pick up a feather duster and teach him a lesson.

Luo Qiu just glanced at them casually, then calmly sat in the seat in front of them.

Li Zi suddenly didn't know where she should be... Anyway, she would never go under the car, so she dived into the window seat in the last row of seats like a transparent person, trying to hide.

Baizhi didn't come, so she is of no use.

After Cha Tiantian and Zhang Lan sat down, a figure followed them up... He looked breathless, holding a red bag in his hand.

"Ah, Brother Bang?" Cha Tiantian asked in astonishment, "What are you doing here? Don't make trouble, go back now!"

"Look, look at Ah Yu!" Ah Bang said quickly, "Give him some persimmons to eat! He likes them! I want to go too!"

"You can't help anything if you go..." Cha Tiantian muttered.

The dean said, "Ah Bang is usually very close to Chen Yu... Anyway, let him come up. Ah Bang, come and sit next to me."

"Dean, have some persimmons!" Ah Bang sat next to the dean with a silly smile on his face and took out a persimmon from the bag. "It's so sweet, I picked it myself!"

"Okay, I'll eat later." The dean patted Ah Bang's head and said, "Sit tight, we're about to drive. Don't run around, okay?"

"Know!"

……

Early in the morning, the rain stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. However, the clouds had dispersed a lot at this time, and rays of sunlight shone through the clouds, shining on the mountain lakeside that had been ravaged by the heavy rain, making the view exceptionally clear.

"So this is what Lover's Beach looks like..."

Li Zi looked out the window in surprise.

Because of the heavy rain yesterday, I didn’t pay much attention to it. Now I was able to get a glimpse of most of the [Lover’s Beach], and I couldn’t help but sigh.

Today, the yellow bus is taking the same new road that has not yet been inspected and accepted as yesterday... mainly because the distance is shorter.

"The scenery is really nice." The maid looked at the red leaves surrounding the lake and liked them very much.

"It's not the most beautiful now. After the Chinese New Year, the leaves will be redder, and then it will be beautiful." Cha Tiantian smiled and said, "There is also a greenway for cycling below. You really have to experience it if you have the chance."

"It seems I have to come back more often in the future." Zi Ling's mother responded, then stood up by the chair, patted Luo Qiu's shoulder with her hand, leaned close to his ear and said, "Did you hear that, kid! Can you be a little more romantic... What are you looking at?"

But at this moment, Luo Qiu was actually checking the satellite map with his mobile phone.

"Take a look at the surrounding environment." Luo Qiu zoomed in on the map and pointed at the arrow at the current location of the car. "It's quite close to the welfare home."

Zi Ling's mother said unhappily, "Isn't this normal? One road goes around the mountain, and the other goes directly over the mountain... Is this a road that people can walk on?"

"Yes." Luo Qiu nodded, "Besides, the distance between the welfare home and the town is actually very close."

Zi Ling's mother shook her head. "You said it was a straight-line distance. There's a whole mountain behind the orphanage. When I was a kid, I thought it was fun, so I secretly tried to climb over the mountain and go to town to play... I almost died of exhaustion. Not to mention how steep the road on the mountain is, there are so many big trees, it's easy to get lost."

However, Zi Ling's mother was still a little surprised. If she hadn't looked at the satellite map carefully, she wouldn't have known it. Only after looking at it did she realize that the straight-line distance was really close...

At this moment, the small yellow bus suddenly stopped and was driven to the side of the road by Old Man Li.

"Old Li, what happened?" the dean asked in confusion.

"The tree in front has fallen. Come on, help move it, otherwise the car can't pass!" Old man Li said quickly.

This kind of thing was obviously left to the man in the car.

There’s nothing much to say… Luo Qiu and Ah Bang quickly got out of the car with Old Man Li and came to the place where the tree fell.

"Is this the tree that was struck by lightning yesterday?" Old Man Li walked closer and frowned. "It might have been blown down by the strong wind in the middle of the night."

When they left yesterday, the tree was actually still standing, with just a few burnt marks.

"So, the place in front is where Chen Yu crashed?" Luo Qiu looked thoughtfully at the deformed guardrail not far ahead.

A cordon has been set up at the guardrail, and some wood and stones have been placed there to block the gap... It's probably done by the rescue team, just to deal with it temporarily.

"The tree is too big and difficult to move. Wait a minute, I'll get a rope to tie it up." After saying this, Old Man Li walked back towards the shared yellow bus.

Luo Qiu walked towards the accident site.

Ah Bang blinked, looked at Old Man Li, then looked at Luo Qiu... and finally chose to follow Luo's steps with a look of curiosity.

Luo Qiu stopped about twenty meters away from the accident site and squatted on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Ah Bang asked puzzledly.

"Look at the brake marks and deduce the exact location where Chen Yu braked." Luo Qiu said casually, "It rained too heavily yesterday, so I couldn't see it even if I wanted to."

"Do you see it now?" asked Ah Bang, tilting his head.

Luo Qiu stretched out his finger and scratched the road surface, then shook his head and said, "I can't see it. It's because of the heavy rain that all the traces have been washed away...but the guardrail here has also been scratched."

Then Luo Qiu walked to the guardrail next to him and pointed at a black mark on it... There was also a slight dent on the guardrail.

Ah Bang immediately scratched his head, looking confused and impressed.

Luo Qiu smiled and said, "After the tree was struck by lightning, Chen Yu was frightened and stepped on the brakes quickly, but he had already lost control of the direction... He should have been about to hit this position at first, but he tried hard to turn the steering wheel, so he narrowly missed this place."

"Then what?" Ah Bang continued to scratch his head.

Luo Qiu pointed to the other side of the road. "Generally speaking, if he makes a sharp turn at this position... he is more likely to hit the guardrail on the opposite side, not the guardrail on the cliff side, unless..."

Ah Bang was listening intently and asked subconsciously, "Unless what?"

"Unless Chen Yu suddenly changed the direction of the steering wheel again." Luo Qiu glanced at Ah Bang and chuckled, "But considering that the situation and conditions were very bad at the time, and Chen Yu himself was also frightened, it's not surprising that he reacted in any way...Okay, let's go and help."

At this time, Old Man Li had come over with a rope and had started tying up the fallen tree.

"Oh oh!" Brother Bang hurried over to help.

Luo Qiu walked to the guardrail of the road opposite and observed it carefully... He didn't find anything, so he looked at the nearby protective slope again... The height of the protective slope was about five meters, and there was a forest on it. The trees on the mountain were very lush and had grown to the edge of the protective slope.

"Xiao Luo, come and help!" Old man Li suddenly shouted.

"Okay." Luo Qiu turned around and responded.

Just as he was about to walk back, his eyes fell on the mud pit under the guardrail on the side of the protective slope. He quickly squatted down and waved his hand to lightly sweep it away.

There is a piece of...fruit candy buried here, with only the edges and corners exposed.

……

After pulling the fallen tree aside, the yellow bus quickly restarted... The journey was relatively smooth, and the group soon arrived at the hospital where Chen Yu was sent.

There is only one hospital like this in the town. It was the local health center many years ago. It is now barely rated as a Grade II hospital. The hospital part is newly built... It is a mixture of old and new, and the style is hard to describe.

The ward where Chen Yu was staying was quickly found... one of the few intensive care units in the hospital.

There was no way to visit him directly, and he could only watch from afar through the window as Chen Yu lay on the bed, wrapped in bandages and on a ventilator.

"When he was brought here, he had broken bones in many places and a scary wound on his abdomen." The doctor sighed, "But this child has a strong will and managed to get through it. His vital signs are relatively stable now."

"Doctor, when will the child wake up?" the dean asked in a trembling voice.

The doctor said helplessly: "The patient suffered a severe blow to the head when he fell, and he may not be in a coma for a short time... After all, the conditions here are limited. Once his condition stabilizes, I suggest you send him to a better hospital... By the way, who is the person in charge? Some documents need the signature of the guardian."

"I'm his guardian." The dean said directly, "Doctor, let's go and handle the formalities first."

Cha Tiantian accompanied the dean to handle the formalities.

After the two left, Old Man Li looked at Chen Yu in the ward and sighed, "This kid is really lucky. He can still survive after falling from such a high place. It seems that he is too shameless, and even the King of Hell won't take him away!"

"Grandpa Li! Stop talking!" Zhang Lan glared at him in dissatisfaction. "How can you talk like that!"

Old man Li shrugged his shoulders. He had a craving for cigarette, but it was not convenient to smoke here, so he simply ran out by himself... Old man Li was seen looking around everywhere with a strange look on his face along the way.

Brother Ah Bang lay beside the window, and together with Zhang Lan, he looked at Chen Yu silently without saying a word.

"Pear, what are you doing?"

Zi Ling's mother glanced at Li Zi and found that she was lowering her head, as if she was editing a text message.

"Oh... I want to contact Miss Mu, but her phone is turned off, so I'll try sending a text message." Li Zi said subconsciously.

"...Who is Miss Mu?" Zi Ling's mother looked confused.

Li Zi was also confused, but she quickly realized that when she and Luo Qiu were discussing this matter, although Sister Ren was right next to them, she was in the same state as Peppa Pig.

So she briefly talked about her findings and what she discussed with Luo Qiu.

"Let me take a look at that missing person notice."

"Here..." Li Zi nodded, "Here is the information about Jingjing from the roster that I took."

"So he was abandoned in an orphanage..." Zi Ling's mother was stunned and said thoughtfully: "The child is only a few years old. If he is a local, it should be easy to find his parents even if he doesn't have a surname... Logically speaking, if he was born in a hospital, there should be records."

"Sister, are you talking about Jingjing?" Zhang Lan asked hesitantly.

"Well... do you know anything?" Zi Ling's mother asked curiously.

Zhang Lan thought for a moment and said, "I seem to have heard from Aunt Liu that they also went to the hospital to check, but they couldn't find any records of Jingjing's birth... Jingjing probably wasn't born in the town's hospital, or maybe she was born by a private delivery."

"Private delivery?" Lizi blinked. "Are there still midwives these days?"

"Yes." Zi Ling's mother shrugged and said, "In the old days, there were midwives in the village, and the midwives were responsible for registering newborns... But as time went by, the position of midwife was abolished. But after all, I have learned this skill, so even if I don't do this job, I still know how to do it."

“They should all be quite old, right?”

Zi Ling's mother nodded, "Basically, everyone who should retire has retired... Come to think of it, I remember Sister Liu told me that when the old lady was young, she seemed to have worked as a midwife. She was quite famous in the surrounding area, right?"

"Wow, it turns out that the director's grandmother was a midwife when she was young. I didn't know that..." Zhang Lan said in surprise.

"She's really good." Zi Ling's mother smiled and said, "When I was a child, a thief broke into the orphanage. The old woman chased the thief with a hatchet in her hand, chopping him all the way, as if she didn't care about her life."

Zhang Lan immediately stuck out her tongue, imagining the scene at that time, and said awkwardly, "This...does seem like something the dean would do."

Li Zi complained in her heart, Sister, aren't you also brave enough to chase people with a baseball bat and smash them all the way... the same lineage? ?

"Oh...right." Li Zi suddenly had an idea. "Xiao Lan, you grew up here. Have you ever heard of the surname [Mu]?"

"Mu?" Zhang Lan was stunned, and after thinking carefully, he said, "It seems... I rarely hear this surname. Hmm... I haven't heard of it."

"Ok."

"There is a person named Mu."

Suddenly, the voice of old man Li was heard. He looked at everyone, especially Li Zi, and said, "The woman who was put into the pig cage at Lover's Beach, her husband's surname was Mu."
