Chapter 72 The Child is Missing
"Sister, hurry up, don't be late."
"It's up, it's up."
The adults in the family are busy these days, so Chu Minglan is the one taking care of her younger brother at home.
But these two children are really obedient and don’t require any worry at all. Despite their young age, they are diligent and sensible.
Chu Minglan still thinks Chu Mingyu is naughty, how can this be naughty? This is obviously a fairy baby, so well-behaved!
The two of them never wore the new clothes that Lin Anan made for them since that time.
Upon asking, it turns out that he was reluctant to wear it and had to wait until the Chinese New Year.
"Your clothes are too thin and don't keep you warm at all! Listen to my sister-in-law, take them out and put them on quickly. I'll make them for you when I finish what I'm doing."
Before departure, Lin Anan is a mandatory requirement.
The two had no choice but to change into new clothes reluctantly.
After changing into new clothes, he went out with Lin Anan.
They are going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables.
On the way to the art troupe, I would pass by the supply and marketing cooperative, which was convenient.
"Xiao Lan, there are many people in the supply and marketing cooperative. You have to pay more attention to your brother. Don't get him lost. My sister-in-law is gone."
Chu Minglan waved at Lin Anan and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Brother Yu won't get lost. He knows the way."
The social environment is good now, and this is a supply and marketing cooperative in a military compound. My two children also buy groceries here regularly, so there should be no problem.
"Okay then."
After saying goodbye to the two little ones, Lin Anan took Lin Zihuai to the art troupe to work.
In the blink of an eye it was noon.
Lin Anan never dreamed that when she got home, there would be no one at home...
"Where are Xiaolan and Xiaoyu?"
Lin Anan walked a few steps to the kitchen, and when she saw that there was no one in the kitchen, she became very nervous!
There was no one in the kitchen, no food, and even the earthen stove was cold.
This means that the two children have never come back since they left in the morning!
Whenever Chu Minglan goes home, she will definitely cook.
Lin Anan's chest felt stuffy due to this urgency. She felt a sharp pain and was choked with anger...
“Cough cough cough~~”
"sister!"
Lin Zihuai looked around in several rooms, but found no one there.
He was frightened when he heard Lin Anan's violent coughing.
Where are they?
Lin Anan leaned on the earthen stove with one hand and pressed the other hand on her chest, coughing and crying.
She felt so guilty that she kept complaining!
Why didn't he send the two children home when they were still so young? Why should he let such young children buy food and cook?
Lin Zihuai hurriedly ran to Lin Anan and hurriedly poured her a glass of water, "Sister, how are you? Don't cry, don't scare me!"
Lin Anan pointed to the door and said, "Ming Zhou..."
"You want me to go find my brother-in-law?"
Lin Anan nodded and coughed even more violently.
"Oh, oh, then...what will you do if I go?"
“Go quickly!”
Lin Zihuai's eyes flashed, and his eyes turned red. "No, I can't go. Mom told me to put you first in everything. I can't leave if you're like this. I'll take you to the hospital."
Lin Anan was in pain and anxious.
Chu Mingzhou also arrived home at this time, with Wang Hu by his side.
Seeing that the door was not closed, he became suspicious.
As soon as he entered the door and heard Lin Anan coughing, he took three steps at a time and almost ran into the kitchen.
"An An."
Lin Anan's face turned red from coughing and tears kept falling.
Chu Mingzhou immediately panicked, and hurried forward to support Lin Anan, and asked anxiously: "How is it?"
Lin Anan saw that he seemed to have found his backbone. She choked up and said, "Xiaolan and Xiaoyu are missing. They went out to buy groceries this morning and never came back."
Chu Mingzhou's lips trembled noticeably, he took a breath, turned his head and looked at Lin Zihuai, "What's going on?"
Lin Zihuai's eyes were red as he quickly recounted what had happened.
Chu Mingzhou's expression was very cold, "Wang Hu!"
Wang Hu was still standing hesitantly at the kitchen door. When he heard the battalion commander calling him, he immediately went into the kitchen. After standing still, he waited for Chu Mingzhou's instructions with a serious expression.
Chu Mingzhou said quickly: "Immediately take people to the vicinity of the military compound to find Lan Jie'er and Yu Ge'er. The key area is the supply and marketing cooperative and its surroundings. Also notify the Security Department and ask them to help!"
Wang Hu immediately responded, "Yes, Battalion Commander! I'll go right away." After that, he turned around and ran out.
Chu Mingzhou continued to pat Lin Anan's back, trying to ease her cough. "Anan, don't worry, they will be fine."
"You go quickly..."
Lin Anan pushed him, her eyes not only filled with anxiety, but also with pleading, "Go quickly, you must find that person back."
"Okay." Chu Mingzhou stood up. "I'll go find them now. You should have a good rest at home. Zihuai, take good care of your sister."
Lin Zihuai nodded vigorously, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister. If she can't recover, I will send her to the hospital."
"Um."
Chu Mingzhou looked at Lin Anan deeply, then quickly walked out.
When Aunt Wang saw her son running out hurriedly from next door, she immediately opened the door to see what was going on.
Seeing Chu Mingzhou walking away in a hurry again, I became even more curious...
It took a while for Lin Anan to recover.
As time passed, Lin Anan's heart became more and more tense.
She wanted to go out to find someone, but Lin Zihuai wouldn't let her. "Sister, it's snowing outside. You can't go. It's too cold."
"Zi Huai, then you go and look for them for your sister, okay? You know best which road they took this morning."
"But……"
"I'm fine, really. You can stop by the cultural troupe and tell them so that no one will worry."
Only then did Lin Zihuai agree.
He put on his coat, poured a cup of hot water for Lin Anan and placed it next to her, and reminded her: "Sister, just wait at home and don't go anywhere. I will definitely find Xiaolan and Xiaoyu back." After that, he hurried out.
Lin Anan sat in the house, full of anxiety and worry. Looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, she felt more and more uneasy.
Time seemed to pass very slowly, and every minute seemed like torture.
An afternoon passed and there was no news at all...
The snow fell heavier and heavier, as if it wanted to drown the whole world.
Pale and desperate.
At dinner time, everyone in every household returned to the compound.
After a while, someone knocked on Lin Anan's gate.
Lin Anan's eyes lit up and she hurried to open the door.
As a result, Aunt Wang and several other ladies were standing at the door.
"Comrade Lin, are your sister Lan and brother Yu missing?"
Lin Anan was not in the mood to deal with them at the moment. She nodded casually and prepared to chase them away and close the door.
A dark and thin lady hurriedly pushed the door open, "Wait, I saw them this morning! Just now, when the girl from the Wang family asked me, I remembered it."
"What?"
Lin Anan hurriedly opened the door and said, "Auntie, could you please tell me in detail where you saw the person? Was it one person or two?"
"Two of them are Lan Jie'er and Yu Ge'er. They are wearing beautiful new clothes. They said my sister-in-law made them for them."
“Right, that’s right!”
"Weren't they picked up by your sister? She said she had an appointment with you to go somewhere..."
Lin Anan was stunned!
"My sister? Where do I get a sister? I only have a brother."
"ah?"
Several aunts looked at each other, knowing that something was wrong. Had they met a kidnapper?
"That's not right. Sister Lan knows that girl. She looks familiar to me too..."
