Looking at the future father-in-law standing in front of him, panting, Ma Chuanlin.
"Tian Lei, do you know what Lan Lan did?"
Zhu Tianlei was stunned, what does this mean?
Ma Lanlan usually works in the clinic. The normal time is 7:30 in the morning and 5:00 in the afternoon. It has been half a month since he came to the clinic. He has never seen Ma Chuanlin or Miao Fengyun come to see Ma Lanlan. Could it be that something happened at home?
Already?
"Uncle, I'm looking for Lan Lan too!"
"Hey, this girl doesn't know what she's doing. She called home at noon and said she was on a medical visit. She might come back late, so your aunt and I don't have to wait for her."
Zhu Tianlei frowned. This is a bit unlike Ma Lanlan's style of acting. Ma Lanlan has an independent personality. She usually makes any decision by herself. She rarely asks for other people's opinions or is procrastinating. In this regard,
Even when facing his own parents and Zhu Tianlei, it is the same.
Therefore, it is very strange to go out of your way to tell your family when you go to see a doctor. Moreover, the places where you go to see a doctor are all in eight villages. To put it bluntly, you can ride an electric bike back and forth in two hours, so why do you need to explain it?
Maybe you will come back very late?
"Uncle, don't worry first, I'll call and ask..."
"Oh, silly boy, if the phone can get through, I won't be worried. Just now, that girl called home again, but no one answered the phone. When I called back, the phone couldn't get through.
"
Ma Chuanlin scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, his old face turned red. He was just Ma Lanlan, a precious girl whom he had held in the palm of his hand since childhood. If something had happened, he would not be alive.
After listening to Ma Chuanlin's words, Zhu Tianlei's mood was not at all lighter than Ma Chuanlin's. Various signs showed that Ma Lanlan was not visiting the doctor normally.
"Uncle, don't worry. I'm going to look for you now. You and my aunt can just wait at home. Just listen and call me. Once Lan Lan calls, you must tell me immediately!"
"Okay, okay, then Tianlei is in trouble!"
"Uncle, go back quickly!"
Zhu Tianlei didn't have time to tell Ma Chuanlin again because he had an ominous premonition.
After leaving the clinic, Zhu Tianlei went directly to the village entrance. Generally, no matter which village he went to, he had to leave through the village entrance. Therefore, Zhu Tianlei's first stop was to the village entrance.
"Auntie, are you looking at Ma Lanlan?"
The eldest girls and young wives in the village like to sit in small groups at the entrance of the village and gossip about each other.
"You brat, aren't you blind and wasting your efforts in lighting the lamp? You are tired of being with that girl every day. If you don't know where that girl is, where will we know where to go, right?"
The person who opened her mouth was the daughter-in-law of the second wife of a large cattle farmer in the village. This woman was over fifty years old, but she spoke most openly and did not sound like an elder.
A group of women burst into laughter when they heard what the second-rate wife said. Even a fool could understand the meaning of these words.
Normally, Zhu Tianlei might have said a few perfunctory words, but at this time, he was in such a mood. He nodded to these old ladies and walked towards Xiaolianhua Village, which is closest to Toadgou.
Two days ago, he heard Ma Lanlan say that Ge Dong, the secretary of Xiaolianhua Village, had gallstones and had just had an operation in the city, so he asked her to go over and give him two bottles of anti-inflammatory drip.
Therefore, Zhu Tianlei's first stop was Ge Dong's house in Xiaolianhua Village.
Because he was the village secretary, Zhu Tianlei casually asked around and found Ge Dong's home, the five-entry courtyard, the bright big tile-roofed house, the courtyard was paved with floor tiles, and it was so clean that not even a grass thorn could be seen.
.
There is no one in the yard.
Zhu Tianlei walked to the upper room and knocked on the door a few times. There was no sound from inside. Logically speaking, it was already time to light a fire for cooking. How could there be no one at home?
Zhu Tianlei knocked a few more times, but there was still no sound in the room.
He was about to leave and look elsewhere. Suddenly, he glanced and saw a flash of red from the utility shed in the yard. This red color was too familiar to him. It was Ma Lanlan's electric car.
Zhu Tianlei felt panic in his heart, and almost without thinking, he kicked the aluminum door open and flew into the house like a gust of wind.
East Room, no!
Westinghouse, no!
North House, neither!
...
Zhu Tianlei searched several houses and found no trace of Ma Lanlan or anyone else.
No, Lan Lan must be here. Zhu Tianlei even felt like he could hear Ma Lanlan's cries and calls for help.
"Lanlan, Lanlan, where are you? I am Tianlei, where are you?"
Unable to find anyone, Zhu Tianlei stood in the middle of the hall and shouted loudly.
Suddenly, there was a burst of chirping movement in the kitchen. Although it was only a moment, it still did not escape Zhu Tianlei's ears.
He rushed into the kitchen like crazy and immediately saw an obviously loose floor tile under the food cabinet. He lifted the floor tile and immediately smelled a musty smell.
This is a vegetable cellar. In Shiliba Village, there are many people who have vegetable cellars in their kitchens, so Zhu Tianlei found it right away.
"Lan Lan, you sweetheart, I want to die. I think about it day and night. I just want to press you under me and hurt you. Lan Lan, I will be very gentle..."
"Gedong, you beast, if you dare to touch me, my boyfriend will definitely make you die in an ugly way!"
"Don't worry, little sweetie, no one knows you are here. Even if I stripped you naked and locked you up in this vegetable cellar for the rest of your life, no one would be able to find you!"
"Yeah?"
As soon as Ge Dong finished speaking, his collar was picked up.
"Tian Lei!"
"You...who are you? How dare...you dare to break into private houses."
Ge Dong did not know Zhu Tianlei and was extremely shocked when Zhu Tianlei suddenly appeared in his vegetable cellar.
"Break into a private house? I'll show you what it means to break into a private house!"
Zhu Tianlei's anger had already rushed to his forehead. If he still had any sanity left even though Xu Mingzhe was angry that day, now, his sanity has also disappeared.
Zhu Tianlei raised his hand, and Ge Dong's body slammed into the pickled cabbage vat in the corner of the vegetable cellar. Like a human bomb, the pickled cabbage vat surrounded by one person immediately fell apart, the pickled cabbage soup spilled out, and Ge Dong was sprayed with sauerkraut.
The soup stinks to heaven.
Zhu Tianlei stopped looking at Ge Dong and walked straight to Ma Lanlan. Fortunately, he came in time. Ma Lanlan's clothes were intact and there were no obvious scars on her body except for the fear in her eyes.
.
"Lan Lan, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you, I deserve to die!"
Zhu Tianlei hugged Ma Lanlan into his arms, feeling self-blame, guilt, and distress. All kinds of emotions came rushing up, drowning Zhu Tianlei like a tide.
"Tian Lei, wu wu... I'm so scared, Tian Lei..." (To be continued)
