Although Ling Guo was able to inform me about Yue Yang and I was very grateful to him, but I didn't contact him again until one day Yue Yang suddenly called me.

"Brother, let me tell you, something happened to Ling Guo today."

"What happened?" My heart tensed for no reason. I was still writing materials in the office at the time, and I couldn't help standing up when I heard this.

"He quarreled with our team secretary."

"Arguing?" My nervousness eased again. "What's wrong with arguing? You scared me."

"Listen to me, brother, it's quite complicated here."

"Okay, then tell me."

"Isn't today Monday? When I got up early in the self-study patriotic education and stood at attention to sing the national anthem, Ling Guo suddenly lay down on the table. The branch secretary got angry and said that Ling Guo was not patriotic and free-spirited, but Ling Guo just kept lying on his stomach and never got up to sing the national anthem."

"What's wrong with him? Is he suddenly ill?"

"No, I thought so too at first. Later, after everyone sang the national anthem, he got up and wanted to go out. The party secretary stopped him at the door, saying that Ling Guo looked down on him, made him look bad on purpose, and confronted him. What are you doing against him? Ling Guo pushed I gave him a few words, cursed 'fuck you!' and ran away. Then I didn't know where to go. I didn't come all morning. I couldn't find the school or the dormitory, and my phone was turned off. He still didn't come in the afternoon. , and I can’t get in touch with him, I’m afraid something will happen to him.”

"He's not sick? What's going on? Why are you fighting against your regiment secretary?"

"What are you doing against? You don't know what's going on here. The position of our class secretary was originally over. There are 38 people in the class, and he got 32 votes, but he has no interest in this position at all. He knows who wants to be the most. After the Communist Youth League secretary, he told our supervisor that he didn’t want to do it, so whoever should do it, that’s why we have the current Communist Youth League secretary in our class. But he always felt that it was a kind of charity for Ling Guo to give him this position. It's very unpleasant. I usually get sour when I talk to Ling Guo. His general remarks are full of thorns, which is very annoying. Our classmates don't like him either. He basically doesn't have any friends in the class, so he just flirts with the instructor Can find some sense of presence."

"Such a person can still be the party secretary?" I couldn't help but vomit. "Is your instructor blind?"

"Who doesn't like to listen to flattery? This guy is a grandson in front of our instructors. If he pretends to be a grandson in front of us, we like him too."

"It's true. And then? Why did Ling Guo not give him face this morning?"

"I'm not sure, but I guess it's something about his family. When he was lying on the table, I glanced at his mobile phone on the table, and there was a text message from his aunt, telling him to hurry up Go to the hospital."

"Go to the hospital?" I froze for a moment, the only thing I could think of was to surpass his grandma.He has a deep relationship with his grandma. Although he said that he has nothing to say to his grandma now, if something happens to his relative who raised him, he will definitely not be able to bear it.Thinking of the group secretary in his class still speaking sarcasticly and personally attacking him when he was most sad, I really wanted to beat him up!

"Brother...Brother! Are you still listening?" Yue Yang's cry interrupted my thoughts

"Ah...listen."

"Can you help me find him? I'm a little worried."

"Okay, I'll go find him right away, and I'll tell you as soon as I have news."

I hung up the phone, dropped a pile of documents on the table and rushed out.

I had nowhere else to look for him except the passing of time, but when I got there I found it really hard to find him.The front desk told me that the boss didn't come today. I asked her for a phone number, but she refused to give it at first. Later, I explained that the phone number was given to me, but it was also turned off.I then asked for the address of his aunt's house, but the front desk didn't know. In the end, I even asked for the phone number of his aunt's grandson, Xiaoxian. Fortunately, the phone of this kid was not turned off.

"Hello? Who are you?" A childish voice came from the phone.

"I'm your uncle's friend, do you know where he is?"

"Is he not at school?"

"No, he seemed to be called away by your grandma early this morning, but both his and your grandma's mobile phones were turned off, and I couldn't find them."

"What are you looking for him for?"

"He had a quarrel with his classmates, and I want to persuade him to go back to school to attend classes."

"Oh, then he might have gone to my mother-in-law's house."

"Where is your mother-in-law's house? Over there in the development zone?"

"You all know that my mother-in-law lives in the development zone? Then you must be very good with my uncle, and he won't tell anyone."

"Oh... yeah... that's great, can you give me the address?"

"I can't tell. My grandma took me there by car. I just remember that there is a kindergarten outside his yard. The walls are blue and there are many pictures of fish."

"Can you find your mother-in-law's house if you find the kindergarten?"

"Yes, there is a big dog in the yard of her house. It is called Guobaorou. It doesn't bite. When someone comes, it will run over and shake its butt."

"Okay, thank you Xiaoxian."

"Uncle, what's your name? In case you don't find my uncle, I'll tell him when I see him."

"My name is... Little Worm, a caterpillar's worm."

"Okay, Uncle Caterpillar."

I smiled helplessly: "It's Uncle Xiaochong."

"Understood, Uncle Xiaochong."

After talking with Xiaoxian on the phone, I immediately drove to the development zone. On the way, I called Lin Yadong and asked him to help me find out which kindergarten in the development zone had blue walls and fish paintings.Lin Yadong asked me why I was looking for a kindergarten while helping me with the investigation. I didn't want to explain to him, so I just said that the case needed it.Although we are in the same company, the cases we are responsible for are basically confidential, for the privacy of the client, so he didn't ask any more questions.It's just that if the kindergarten has a name, it's easy to look up, but it's still difficult to just know the characteristics of the fence.He asked me to hang up the phone and wait. After about 20 minutes, he called again and told me that it might be a kindergarten called "Chunxiao", and he also sent me a text message about the address.

An hour later, I found this kindergarten and saw the yard Xiaoxian mentioned.It turned out to be a villa, not very big, but very grand and clean. There was an ancient shepherd dog in the yard, who ran over like a Beatle when I walked to the door, and slammed at me through the door and shook his ass. A big red tongue stuck out with a long stream of saliva.

I rang the doorbell for a long time, but there was no sound in the yard except for the dog humming and barking occasionally.

At this time, an old man passed by the road, saw me standing at the door and kept ringing the doorbell, and came over and said, "There should be no one in their house now. The ambulance came early this morning and took an old lady to the hospital."

When I heard this, I hurried up and asked, "Uncle, do you know which hospital I was sent to?"

"Then how do you know? It's definitely not the hospital in the development zone. The conditions of the hospital here are not good, and first aid doesn't work."

"Ah, thank you then."

The thread is broken again.I went back to the car dejectedly, with my hands on the steering wheel, not knowing where to go.After a long time, I called the front desk of the lost time and asked if there was any news about their boss, and the answer was no.I tried to call Ling Guo and his aunt again and again, but the phone was still turned off.

I waited outside the gate of Lingguo's grandma's house for nearly an hour, but there was no movement, and I went back to the cabin to sleep.

It was getting dark, and it had been a day since Ling Guo left school. He didn't know what was going on with his grandma, and he didn't know which hospital they were in, and he didn't know what he would be like if his grandma had something good or bad.

I leaned on the car seat and let out a long sigh, and then I gradually realized that my thoughts on Ling Guo were not only a little evil, but actually I also felt tempted.Thinking of this kid's sad look, my nose is still a little sore.

At this time, Yue Yang called; "Brother, have you found Ling Guo? I haven't waited for your call, I'm very anxious."

"Not yet, he kept turning off the phone. I found his grandma's house, but there was no one. I heard that he went to the hospital."

"Then it's not sure that he must be in the hospital now, is it?"

"Don't think about it, he must be with his grandma in the hospital, and I will find him."

"Then if you find it, you must..."

"I'll talk about it later." I heard another call coming in, somehow I thought it might be Ling Guo, so I pinched Yue Yang's phone and quickly answered another call. "Hello? Have you passed?"

"Ah." Sure enough, it was him, his voice was calm, but especially lifeless.

"where?"

"Hospital."

"Your grandma..."

"Well, let's go."

"Ah? You...don't be too..."

"Don't tell me anything." He interrupted me.

Hearing what he said, my eyes were a little wet. "Okay." I said softly.

"Did you call Xiaoxian to find me?"

"Well, how did you know it was me?"

"Who else has the word worm in the name besides you? And Uncle Caterpillar, Xiaoxian remembers it clearly, thank you for being able to come out and ask him."

"I didn't tell him about your grandma."

"Well, but he also knows now, my aunt has taken him to the hospital."

"How long are you going to stay in the hospital?"

"I don't know. I just transferred to the morgue, and there are still many procedures to go through."

"Then... I'll go...to find you."

"Don't come here, it's not... convenient. I'll go find you when everything here is done."

"Where are you going to find me?"

"I'll go wherever you are, I don't want to go home today."

"Where do you usually call home?"

"My aunt's house."

"Oh. That's fine, I'll wait for your call, then I'll go home first."

"Where are you now?"

"In front of your grandma's house."

Ling Guo was silent on the phone for a long time, and then I heard a sniffling sound.

"Are you okay?" I asked knowingly, really wanting to know what it's like for him to cry.

"It's okay." His voice sounded the same as before. "You didn't scare the pot of meat, did you?"

"It's good that he didn't scare me. If it wasn't for the big iron gate, I would have turned around and ran away when he rushed over."

"He doesn't bite, he's a fool, he's nice to anyone."

"I see, if I can open the door, it can come home with me."

Ling Guo couldn't help laughing.He was crying and laughing, which made me feel even more uncomfortable. "Okay, I won't tell you. I have to drive for more than an hour. You go to the hospital first, and call me when you're done. It doesn't matter how late you are. "

"En." He responded, and then said softly: "Yue Jiao, thank you for caring about me so much."

"Don't be so sensational, it sounds uncomfortable, hang up!" I hung up the phone quickly, feeling a little blurry in front of me.

After sitting for a while, after recovering, I called Yue Yang and told him to find Ling Guo, and told him about his grandma's death, and then asked him to ask for a few days off for Ling Guo.Yue Yang said he knew, and then said that he would find a few people to beat up their team secretary at night.I didn't persuade him not to fight for the first time, because that bastard, I really wanted to beat him up, I didn't say that it would be nice to let him punch me a few more times.
