I am the strongest sheriff on the surface

The receiver was silent for a few seconds, and then there was a notification that the other party's phone had been turned off.

Why is Aunt Zhang's phone turned off?
Xiao Cheng was startled, and hurriedly found Zhang Shunian's phone number and dialed it...

After a while, Xiao Cheng put down the phone in astonishment.

Why are the phones of the old couple turned off?

Could something really happen?
If you just go back to your hometown to do business, it is impossible to not have a phone call, and turn off the phone...

Xiao Cheng frowned and turned around twice, the voice of the big bear came from outside the door, calling Xiao Cheng to eat.

Xiao Cheng, you must not mess up!

Especially not to let Nannan see it... Xiao Cheng took a deep breath, rubbed his face with his hands, and walked out with a smile on his face.

"Eat, I'm starving to death!" Xiao Cheng sat down at the dining table, shouting as if a starving ghost had reincarnated: "Nan Nan, come and eat, we really have your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs!"

Nan Nan moved over silently, looked at the sumptuous food on the table, and there was no happy expression on her face.

She climbed onto the chair, lowered her head and muttered rice one by one, even turning a blind eye to the pork ribs that Xiao Cheng made for her.

After only taking two bites, she put down her chopsticks, went to wash up by herself, and went into the bedroom by herself.

"Boom..."

The bedroom door closed with a bang, and Xiao Cheng's heart trembled.

Mr. Zhang, Aunt Zhang, tomorrow will be the fifth day. If you don’t come back again, my buddies will be a bit confused...

The point is, don't let anything happen to you!
Looking at Nan Nan's appearance, Xiao Cheng didn't even have the heart to eat, so he explained to Da Xiong, and he walked into the bedroom lightly.

On the bed in the bedroom, the quilt had bulged into a big bag, obviously Nan Nan got into it.

Xiao Cheng noticed that the bulging quilt was shaking non-stop, and at the same time a low sobbing sound came faintly from inside.

Nan Nan cried... Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth, sat gently on the edge of the bed, thought for a while but didn't speak.

Let her cry for a while!
Some negative emotions always have to be vented, and it’s not good to hold them back all the time.

Slowly, the cry subsided...

Xiao Nannan revealed her small head from under the quilt, her big eyes were red and watery inside.

Seeing Xiao Cheng, she pursed her mouth and cried again: "Father, grandparents don't want me anymore, I will be obedient from now on, let them come back!"

"It's nothing, Nan Nan is the best!"

Xiao Cheng tried his best to make himself laugh: "Grandpa and grandma really just went to run some errands, tomorrow is only the fifth day, tomorrow, tomorrow they will definitely come back!"

"really?"

Nan Nan sniffled, hope appeared on her face again.

Although the current situation is not optimistic, Xiao Cheng has nothing to do.

No one knows where the old couple of the Zhang family went, and they can't be contacted, although tomorrow is the fifth day of the agreement...

But will the old couple come back tomorrow?
Xiao Cheng had no idea in his heart.

It was impossible to say these words to Nan Nan, and he couldn't bear to break Nan Nan's hope.

"Don't worry, Nannan, grandpa and grandma will definitely come back!"

After all, Nan Nan was a child, and when he heard what Xiao Cheng said, he burst into tears and laughed, and nodded vigorously while wiping his tears with his hands.

But the little girl didn't understand what Xiao Cheng said at all.

Xiao Cheng said that grandpa and grandma will definitely come back, but he didn't say that they will definitely come back tomorrow!
Looking at Nan Nan whose eyes were swollen into peaches and kept laughing, Xiao Cheng felt distressed, but there was still a smile on his face, and he kept making fun of Nan Nan for crying.

Nan Nan immediately retorted, and a big and a small got into a fight together.

After playing for a while, Nan Nan lay down rubbing her eyes, and fell asleep almost instantly.

There were still tears on her face, but the corners of her mouth were raised.

This little girl... Xiao Cheng went to the bathroom to get a towel, and wiped it gently. His expression was gentle, but the brows that were locked together couldn't be untied!

The fifth day passed...

There is still no news about the second elder of the Zhang family.

Xiao Cheng started to call the two of them in turn non-stop since noon, but until the phone was almost out of battery, the voice in the receiver still didn't change a bit.

【Sorry, the phone you dialed is off...】

Xiao Cheng viciously pressed the red button on the keyboard. If the phone wasn't his own, he wished he could smash it into pieces.

What happened to these old couple?

It was agreed to come back in five days at most, but now not only is there no one, even the phone can't be reached.

How to explain to Nannan this time?
and……

Something must have happened to Mr. Zhang and the others!

They knew Nannan's character better than anyone else, and it was absolutely impossible to leave her behind like this!
But what to do now?
When the second elder left, he only said that he would go back to his hometown to handle errands, but where is his hometown?
And what are they going to do?

It wasn't until this time that Xiao Cheng was sure that his previous worries were completely correct.

The second elder of the Zhang family must have encountered some kind of crisis!
That's why Aunt Zhang always looks so tired.

That's why the two elders stopped talking when they saw me that day, they were afraid that what I heard would implicate me again!

That's why Aunt Zhang kept nagging Nan Nan the night before they left.

At the time, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this.

It is only human nature for the grandma who is about to leave for a long time to tell her granddaughter a few more words.

But now that I think about it, Aunt Zhang's tone is basically explaining the funeral to Nan Nan!
Knowing that she might not be able to come back, she said all she wanted to say to Nan Nan.

It must be so!

Xiao Cheng rubbed his hair vigorously... At that time, he clearly saw that something was wrong, so why didn't he ask a few more questions?
Forget it, now I regret that there is something wrong with it, I still have to think of a way quickly!
Xiao Cheng pulled Hong Feng aside, and talked about the past few days in one go.

Hong Feng also frowned tightly when he heard that, his thoughts were the same as Xiao Cheng's, something must have happened to the elders of the Zhang family, that's why they didn't come back on time.

But even if he wanted to understand this, Hong Feng had no clue about the whereabouts of the second elder.

After researching for a while without any results, Xiao Cheng bit the bullet and went to pick up Nan Nan when he saw the kindergarten dismissal time.

The afternoon sun was bright and dazzling, he walked hesitantly to the kindergarten, and there were lively crowds at the door, but Xiao Cheng felt annoyed for a while.

A few minutes later I received Nannan...

When the little girl saw Xiao Chengli, her eyes widened and she looked over, her eyes full of hope: "Father, grandparents have already returned!"

Xiao Cheng had no choice but to forcefully laugh: "Go home!"

Nan Nan froze with a hopeful expression on her face, she walked over with her head down, and gently took Xiao Cheng's big hand.

The little girl's hands are cold...

Xiao Cheng held it hard, trying to pass on a trace of warmth, but no matter how hard he tried, Nan Nan's little hands didn't warm up.

The two returned home silently. When they passed the fifth floor, Nan Nan didn't even raise his head, and walked directly through the door to the sixth floor.

After entering the house, Nan Nan took off her shoes and stood quietly at the door without any movement.

"Go into the house and do your homework. You said that grandma likes to see you take the initiative to study!" After saying a word, Xiao Cheng wished he could slap himself twice.

Isn't this which pot can't be opened and lifted?

Sure enough, Nan Nan burst into tears when he heard it, and turned around and hugged Xiao Cheng's leg: "Woo... Dad, can you take me to find my grandparents, please take me there, you can definitely find them! "

"..."

Xiao Cheng really wants to agree to Nan Nan, but the question is, where can I find it?

I don't know the whereabouts of the second elder at all. The whole country is so big, so I can't just look for it blindly, right?

"Well... Nannan, I don't know where my grandparents have gone. If we wait a little longer, maybe they will come back tomorrow!"

"Always say tomorrow tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there?"

Nan Nan tugged on Xiao Cheng's thigh, her tears were like a flood breaking a bank: "I don't care, you must have a way, you must have a way, take me to find my grandparents!"

Xiao Cheng pursed his lips, looked down at the little girl who was crying like a tear...

After a long while, he couldn't bear to reject Nan Nan again, couldn't bear to snuff out the last hope in the little girl's heart: "Okay, I'll take you to find them tomorrow!"
