Fortunately, there weren't many cars on the road this year, and it was just after the New Year, and it was still around nine o'clock in the evening. Combined with the right time and place, it took them more than ten minutes to reach the nursing home.

As soon as he entered the door, the doctor on duty came up to him with two or three nurses. Xiao Ran asked straight to the point: "Where is my dad? He hasn't been found yet? When did he disappear? Where was the last time I saw him?"

He had just finished drinking, his face was red and his mouth smelled of alcohol, and he was very anxious. The original nervousness seemed to the other party to be full of hostility, which scared the doctor and the nurse and backed away.

Hu Bayi and Fatty thought that Xiao Ran was really angry and wanted to fight with him, so they rushed to stop him. Yingzi walked quickly to the doctor, smiled and said to several medical staff: "That...comrade doctor, he is just anxious and angry.

Don't take it to heart because of the sharp edges. Why did the old man disappear? How did you find out?"

Seeing Yingzi's kind attitude, the doctors and nurses breathed a sigh of relief. They briefly introduced the situation and said that Xiao Changfeng was still there during dinner. When it was time to go to bed, the nurse made a routine round of the ward and found that Xiao Changfeng's room was empty and the windows were open.

If I dared to speak out, I immediately reported it to the doctor on duty.

The matter of missing patients can be big or small, especially for an old man like Xiao Changfeng, who is already somewhat mentally retarded, and it was such a cold night. The doctor did not dare to delay, so while organizing people to search, he immediately called the neighborhood committee of Xiao Ran's neighborhood.

I made a call. Fortunately, there was someone on duty at the neighborhood committee, so Xiao Ran was able to successfully find out that his father was missing.

After listening to the conversation between the two sides, Xiao Ran realized that he had been too anxious and had a bad attitude, so he asked as calmly as possible: "Did you tell my second uncle?"

It happened that the little nurse who usually took care of the second uncle was also there. She hesitated and said: "No... because it was too late. I was afraid that Uncle Xiao... Uncle Xiao Changkong was anxious, so I didn't tell him..."

Seeing that the little nurse was a little timid, Xiao Ran thought for a while and nodded and said, "Thank you, you are very thoughtful. In this way, you can recall the places where my father usually likes to go, and also what underground facilities are there in the nursing home, which are relatively secluded?"

, even if it’s abandoned, let’s look for it separately.”

The doctor recalled it and said: "The places he likes to go are places where you can see the sky. Your father likes to walk around in the yard and on the rooftop to bask in the sun. I will arrange for people to look for them. But the other places you mentioned

...I heard that there was an abandoned air-raid shelter before here, but we don’t know where the entrance is. So, I quickly called the dean and asked him, he might know!"

After talking, they split up to look for it. Hu Bayi and Fatty were very happy with Xiao Ran's idea. They were not sure whether Xiao Changfeng's memory was confused again and he felt unsafe on the ground, so he ran around and touched the air-raid shelter.

Since the doctors and nurses said they didn't know where the entrance was, the air-raid shelter must not be in a basement in the inner building of the sanatorium. The four of them planned to divide into two groups, with Hu Bayi and Fatty on one side, and Xiao Ran and Yingzi on the other, in the open space.

Find a place.

The fat man asked Hu Badi: "Old Hu, don't you know how to read Yin and Yang houses? Is there any feng shui to follow in this air-raid shelter?"

Hu Bayi looked at the fat man as if he were a fool and said: "The most important thing about an air-raid shelter is safety and concealment. Who would stay in an air-raid shelter waiting to be promoted and make a fortune? Besides, these air-raid shelters are where the great leader used to defend against the enemy from the north.

, it was built just after the decision was made, and the old man doesn’t care about those feudal and conservative scum. Don’t be careless, look for it quickly, just a little bit, the more hidden the place, the more likely it is. If you find anything, the old rule is to blow the whistle. "

Following Hu Bayi's suggestion, the two teams, as well as the nurses, caregivers, and guards who helped find the person, tried their best to search in the nooks and crannies of the nursing home that no one usually went to.

Yingzi sighed: "It would be great if my mastiffs were here, and they would be able to dig them out for him..."

After Yingzi finished speaking, she suddenly felt that her words were inappropriate. Her tone seemed to be that Xiao Changfeng was a wild rabbit. She stuck out her tongue and looked at Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran knew that she was straightforward and had no malice, so she didn't say anything and pretended not to hear anything.

Didn't see it.

The two of them searched for a circle in a small forest with a promenade, and followed the road to the small garden in the center of the sanatorium. At this time, the silvery light of the moon shone on the rockery in the center of the garden, making the rockery seem to be covered with a wedding dress.

The bride is average.

Yingzi looked at the rockery and couldn't help but let out a low sigh of "Wow". Xiao Ran also looked at the rockery, and then at Yingzi, whose eyes were shining next to him, thinking that if he wasn't looking for his father now, he would definitely be a beautiful woman in a good time.

It's a pity to gather together...

Yingzi took pictures up and down with a flashlight, and then walked resolutely towards the rockery. Xiao Ran was about to call her, but Yingzi suddenly turned around and said: "Brother Xiao Ran, maybe he's over here!"

When Xiao Ran heard this, he quickly caught up with her and saw Yingzi suddenly squatting down and studying the dead grass on the ground. Xiao Ran asked curiously: "Yingzi, what did you find?"

Yingzi carefully looked at the withered grass and said: "Every short section of these grasses has a piece of it leaning forward, and some are broken, all in the same direction. Look at these broken places, the marks are new.

.If no one was here just now, it must be your father!"

Although "your father" always sounds like a curse, it is always good news. Xiao Ran felt excited and quickly pulled Yingzi up and said: "Hey, look for it quickly. Are you talking about the rockery?"

Yingzi muttered: "That's true, but it looks a bit strange..."

"That rockery is in the pond. There is no water in winter, so someone can definitely hide there. It's not surprising!"

Xiao Ran didn't wait for Yingzi to finish speaking, then walked to the edge of the rockery on his own, and Yingzi had to follow quickly.

When the two of them reached the edge of the pool where the rockery was located, they realized that they had really underestimated the depth of the pool. From the edge to the bottom, the pool was five or six meters deep, and the bottom was full of dark dry mud. Even if the flashlight illuminated it,

It's hard to see why.

It was hard for Xiao Ran to imagine that Xiao Changfeng would come all the way here and hide under the pool, but he still wanted to give it a try and called Dad a few times.

Yingzi's sharp eyes scanned the bottom of the pool a few times with his flashlight, and he quickly discovered something suspicious. He pointed at a place under the pool and shouted: "Brother Xiao Ran, look at that area at the bottom. Is it a footprint? There seems to be another one."

Butt mark..."

Xiao Ran looked along where Yingzi pointed. On the bottom of the pool with different colors, there were indeed one or two marks that were the shape Yingzi said, but it was really difficult for him to see them by himself.

But with Xiao Changfeng's current body and bones, it's impossible to jump directly into this three-meter-deep pit, right?

He turned to look at Yingzi, and saw that Yingzi's flashlight stopped on those man-made marks, drew a rough straight line, and then shined it in the direction of the heels of the footprints. Sure enough, he saw a line of metal on the wall of the pool.

The hanging ladder is made by a Chinese manufacturer, but it is covered with rust and cannot be easily found.

Xiao Ran was impressed by Yingzi's cleverness. He didn't even want to hug or shake hands. In the end, he had to pat Yingzi's shoulder lightly to express his approval.

He felt that his excitement had some other elements in it. If it were Hu Bayi or Fatty who discovered this, he would just feel that as long as he was careful, he could do it too.

Yingzi didn't have so many ideas. He walked to the position of the hanging ladder first, looked at it and said: "Brother Xiao Ran! Hurry, there are fingerprints on it, it must have been left here!"

Xiao Ran followed him belatedly, blowing the whistle a few times, and when he saw a flashlight flashing in the distance, he raised the flashlight and flashed it a few times before climbing down the ladder.

At this time, Yingzi had already followed the hard-to-see footprints to a pool wall behind the rockery, and looked at the pool wall. Seeing Xiao Ran coming over, Yingzi quickly said: "Brother Xiao Ran, look at this! This

There is a handle, it looks like a door!"

This time, it didn't take Yingzi's keen senses to see that there was a handle on the pool wall that was also covered with dried mud and moss, and there was an obvious square mark around it.

Xiao Ran grasped the handle and pulled it, and the door opened with a series of creaking sounds. The surface of the door was also covered with mosaics, and it was indeed integrated with the surrounding pool wall when it was closed.

Behind the door is a series of steps going up, with concrete structures on the top, bottom, left and right. After going up the steps, you walk across a platform several meters long, and then there is a series of steps going down again. This design must be for waterproofing, even if the pool is full.

Even if there is water, the air-raid shelter will not be flooded.

There are still many footprints on the steps, as well as large areas of friction and rolling marks. It is difficult to imagine how Xiao Changfeng rolled and crawled through this air-raid shelter.

Perhaps in his mind, he regarded this air-raid shelter as the underground tunnels of the Cangshen Bureau.

Xiao Ran felt sad for a while, but then Yingzi suddenly let out a "ouch" and shrank behind Xiao Ran and said: "In front... what is that..."

Xiao Ran raised his flashlight and looked at it, and saw a man squatting against the wall by the iron door at the end of the air-raid shelter. His whole body was covered with black and yellow dust, and he was lying on the ground mumbling something.

Xiao Ran was very familiar with this figure, so he called "Dad" and hurried over.

Xiao Changfeng squatted on the ground, playing with two stones, and muttered: "White...good guys, black...bad guys...good guys hit bad guys, bang!"

As he spoke, he hit it with stones, his eyes shining like a child.

Xiao Ran quickly helped him up and patted the dirt off his body. In the cold winter, Xiao Changfeng was barefoot and turned red and gray from the cold.

When Xiao Changfeng saw Yingzi, his eyes were full of confusion. Xiao Ran introduced: "Dad, this is Yingzi, she is... Hi, you won't remember it even if I tell you."

Yingzi also looked at the "crazy old man" in front of him with blinking eyes, but Xiao Changfeng suddenly grinned and said: "Good Yingzi, good Yingzi!"

At this time, a burst of flashlight light and noise came from a distance. The two turned around and saw Hu Bayi, Fatty and two medical staff rushing over.

Xiao Ran was about to say hello to a few people, but Hu Bayi looked around nervously, and then checked Xiao Changfeng's body with the medical staff. He was relieved after confirming that there was no external injury.

Xiao Ran wondered: "Brother Hu, what are you..."

The fat man was the first to say: "Have you seen those footprints outside? I'm talking nonsense. The footprints are of two people. The other one obviously has something wrapped around the sole of his shoe. You can't see it if you don't look carefully. The old man didn't get lost on his own, someone dragged him here.

…”

Yingzi also quickly said: "I also discovered just now that the grass outside was definitely not stepped on by one person. I was originally going to say..."

This is when Xiao Changfeng suddenly interrupted: "Black! Black people are bad people!"
