Zhou Bin was still a little confused. He asked, "Mr. Zhang, what happened?"
Zhang Tao said in panic, "It's bad, Mr. Zhou, two old men are missing in our scenic area!"
Zhou Bin sat up immediately after hearing this. He asked in surprise, "Missing? What happened?"
Zhang Tao told him the situation. The two old men were two poor people from Zhangjiawa, a neighboring village, and they were brothers.
The eldest is Zhang Yuguang and the second is Zhang Yuming. Both of them are in their sixties this year.
When they were young, they were unable to marry due to their poor family. Now that they are old, the two brothers can only depend on each other.
They don't have any nephews either, only a few nieces.
Seeing that the two elderly people were still able to move about swiftly and considering their difficult life conditions, Zhang Tao asked them to go to the scenic area to clean.
Give them each one thousand yuan every month so that they will not have to worry about food and drink.
The two old people were very happy and worked very hard. They would come to the scenic spot before dawn every day and would not go home until dark.
They cleaned the area they were responsible for very cleanly and won unanimous praise from everyone.
Early this morning, the two of them came to the scenic area as usual, and then went to clean the area they were responsible for.
The area they are responsible for is close to the back mountain, just at the foot of the mountain, and behind it is the woods.
No one cared about it, but in the afternoon, Xiao Wang, who was checking the hygiene, found that the hygiene in the area they were responsible for was not very good.
So he thought about going to talk to the two old men, but after looking around, he couldn't find them.
Later, we found their brooms, dustpans and other items in the grass by the roadside, but we didn't see them.
Xiao Wang felt a little strange because these two people were very serious at work and he had never been missing.
But today I can't find them. Where are they going?
Xiao Wang thought about it and guessed that they might have something to do and had to go home temporarily, so he didn’t think much about it.
It was almost time to get off work when Xiao Wang went to check again, but still didn't see them.
Xiao Wang felt something was wrong and quickly reported the matter to Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao asked people to go to the homes of the two elderly people to look for them, but when they arrived, they found that no one was home at all.
Then we went to their village to ask, and they also said that they had not seen the two people come back.
The person who went to look for them did not give up and went to look for the two old people's nephews.
But the nephew didn't want to take care of it at all and said he didn't see it.
In the end, I had no choice but to come back.
In fact, Zhang Tao had mobilized people in the scenic area to search everywhere, but they couldn't find the two people after searching the entire scenic area.
Now Zhang Tao was a little worried. It would be terrible if something happened to the two of them.
Moreover, there are tourists in the scenic area, so no other problems can arise.
Therefore, Zhang Tao decided to close the scenic area early today and let everyone go together to look for the two elderly people.
He came to Zhou Bin to discuss with him that the new scenic spot should be temporarily closed for one day today. If there are no problems, it will open normally tomorrow.
After hearing what he said, Zhou Bin immediately agreed with his opinion: "Okay, you go and arrange it right away, I'll be there soon."
Zhang Tao hurriedly turned around and left. Zhou Bin also hurriedly stood up, washed his face, and changed his clothes.
After all, he wears big shorts at home all day, so it’s a bit inappropriate for him to go to a scenic spot.
While changing his clothes, Zhou Bin wondered why the two old men disappeared.
If something unexpected really happened, that would be terrible.
He changed his clothes hurriedly and came to the scenic spot.
The tourists in the new scenic area had not actually finished their visit yet, but the park was going to close, and everyone was a little unhappy.
Zhou Bin led the group to explain to everyone that the scenic spot needed to overhaul its facilities and would be temporarily closed.
The tourists left reluctantly. Zhou Bin ordered the gate of the scenic area to be closed and then mobilized everyone to start searching.
Several groups of soldiers conducted a carpet search throughout the scenic area from seven in the evening to eleven at night, but they still couldn't find any trace of the two people.
An ominous feeling welled up in Zhou Bin's heart. He was afraid that these two old men were in great danger.
At this time, Aniu and Li Jun also came back with their people. They reported that there was no trace of the two people in the scenic area.
Zhou Bin fell into deep thought. He had already searched the entire scenic area. It seemed that he could only look around the village or even in the wooded area at the back of the mountain.
At this time, both scenic spots were closed and the tourists had left, so Zhou Bin could mobilize the entire village to search for it.
So all the villagers went out and searched everywhere around the village, hoping to find any trace of the old man.
We searched for a whole hour, and it was already twelve o'clock in the evening, but we still couldn't find any trace of the two people.
Now everyone was in a state of helplessness. Could it be that these two people just disappeared without a trace?
Seeing that there was no way out, Zhou Bin simply gritted his teeth and asked more than 20 young men in the village to follow him to look for it in the woods on the back mountain.
They all held self-defense weapons and flashlights, climbed over the guardrail, and walked along the path towards the back mountain.
