Chapter 605: Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst
Lin Lu clenched his fingers around the flashlight and said, "Oh no! I'm afraid something has happened to Ah Sheng."
He looked at Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingmu with a serious expression.
"Boss, go call the police. Second brother, go to the brigade and ask if anyone has seen Ah Sheng..."
A flashlight is a precious thing. Unless something unexpected happens, you can't just throw it away.
Old Yuan staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Qingshan was quick to help and managed to hold the man up.
"Uncle Yuan, please take care of yourself. We will go find someone right away."
After saying that, he pushed his bicycle to the county.
Lin Lu was also anxious, so he patted Lao Yuan's shoulder soothingly, told him to rest first, and hurried to the brigade headquarters.
When Lin Fu learned about this, he picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.
Afterwards, everyone in the team knew that Lin Lu’s apprentice was missing.
Everyone started looking for people everywhere.
Half an hour passed quickly.
When the young man from the brigade was looking for someone, he saw a large area of flattened grass in the bushes not far from the village entrance.
There are also traces of fire left by someone.
That's not all, they also found cigarette butts.
"this……"
"Why do I feel like something's wrong? This place is so close to our team. What do the people who stay here want to do?"
Everyone had bad guesses in their minds and looked very unhappy.
Lin Aiguo knew that this was not something that young people like them could handle, so he asked the children following behind to call the team leader and others.
The children from the brigade received the instructions and rushed back to the village to call people.
After hearing about it, Lin Fu and others rushed over immediately.
Lin Aiguo stepped forward and spoke as a representative of the crowd:
"Dad, look at how dark it is here. It looks like someone has started a fire."
"And this cigarette butt. There aren't many people in our team who can smoke. This definitely wasn't smoked by anyone in our team."
"I suspect someone is targeting our team."
To be frank, the only person in the entire brigade who can smoke Daqianmen is his second uncle.
But it’s impossible for my second uncle to come here just to smoke.
It must be an outsider.
Young people can understand it, so a group of people who are hundreds of years old in total will naturally not be confused.
Lin Fu's expression became serious and he looked thoughtful.
Li Jiancai thought of the pig he had just sold yesterday, and his expression changed slightly. "...Could it be that because we sold the pig, someone is interested in stealing the money?"
This guess is reasonable.
Everyone in the surrounding villages knew that their brigade’s pigs had been slaughtered.
The character of most people is guaranteed, but there is no guarantee that everyone has an upright heart.
Lin Fu, however, did not quite agree with this statement.
"If someone can open the front door, who would come to steal things?"
"I can't imagine what these people are planning. Anyway, be careful next time."
"...As for Mu Sheng's matter, I'm afraid we really need to call the police."
At the end of his speech, his face was tense.
My eyes swept over the large area of flattened grass, and I felt heavy-hearted.
Lin Lu rubbed her fingers back and forth, feeling worried and confused.
Ah Sheng, he won't really get into trouble...
"Second brother, go back first. Let's wait until the police arrive." Lin Fu said.
Thinking that Lao Yuan was still at home, Lin Lu came back to his senses and walked home without saying a word.
Lin Fu's frown remained on his face, as he considered that the safety of the team was in jeopardy.
He said, "I suggest that the brigade raise a few wolfhounds and tie them at the village entrance at night to keep out those with bad intentions. What do you think?"
Regardless of whether someone has ill intentions towards their team in today's incident, they must always be on guard against others.
The brigade also has a sauce factory and medicinal fields, so there is no room for mistakes.
Qian Hua nodded, "I agree! We really need to raise a few dogs. Apart from anything else, the sauce factory is a major production base, and having a dog watching over us will put everyone at ease."
Li Jiancai and others nodded to review the matter.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for one.
After hearing everyone agree, Lin Fu made the decision, "Since everyone agrees, then let's raise the baby. Who's willing to take care of this?"
Chen Ziqiang, who was following behind several brigade cadres, volunteered, "I want to be in charge."
"You?" Lin Fu hesitated. "You still have time to manage the medicinal fields?"
Chen Ziqiang: "Yes, Aimin and the others are helping the herbal medicine farm, so everything is fine."
"Okay, then I'll leave this to you."
After the decision to raise dogs to protect the village was made, Lin Lu returned home and told Lao Yuan the team's search results.
Old Yuan stood there, unable to react.
"Wait for the police to investigate..."
Then, can Ah Sheng come back?
Lin Lu took a sip of tea and said, "I can't find Ah Sheng in the village, and the grass at the entrance looks like that..."
He hesitated to speak, and Old Yuan felt even more uncomfortable.
After a long pause, Lao Yuan looked into the distance, his voice seemed to be floating in the air, sounding a little empty.
"...Asheng is not easy for that child."
"He's only had a few good days. Ever since he became your apprentice, Ah Sheng has been happy every day."
"That child doesn't talk much, and his face shows little expression, but I know he's genuinely happy..."
Having said that, he couldn't continue.
Lin Lu was also very worried about his missing apprentice, so he just sat down and stood up again and turned around.
His face was full of self-blame.
"Oh! It's my fault. I should have let Ah Sheng leave earlier."
Would everything be fine if Ah Sheng had left earlier?
Old Yuan shook his head. "What does this have to do with it? Don't overthink it. It's all fate."
If it is a blessing, there will be no disaster; if it is a disaster, there will be no escape.
I just hope that Ah Sheng can live well and be fine no matter where he is.
Lin Qingshan rode his bike very fast, called the police, and returned to Shuangshan Brigade with Liu Guoan and several other policemen.
After arriving, they first learned about the brigade's investigation results. Liu Guoan and several other police officers stopped at the place where they noticed something was wrong.
"First, tell me what you saw at first." Liu Guoan said.
Lin Aiguo was the first to discover this place. He recalled carefully and described the situation in detail.
Liu Guoan nodded.
Several policemen looked at each other and went forward to check.
According to comrades from Shuangshan Brigade, a lot of grass here had fallen when they arrived.
That means there were a lot of people here last night.
There are also cigarette butts, so the living standard of the person here must be quite high.
"Captain, here is a piece of cloth." said a young policeman.
Liu Guoan walked over quickly, took it and took a look.
It's ordinary fabric.
Just very old.
Just tear it open gently.
According to preliminary estimates, the owner of this piece of clothing has been wearing it for quite some time, at least five or six years.
"Captain, there's blood in the soil over here!"
Liu Guoan walked over and saw a bloodstain buried in the soil, so it could only be vaguely seen.
When Lin Lu and Lao Yuan heard that the police had arrived, they hurried over.
As soon as they heard these words, the two of them couldn't help but tighten their hands around each other.
"What blood?" Old Yuan staggered forward.
Liu Guoan was startled and hurried to support the man.
Lin Lu was worried that Lao Yuan would collapse, so he said, "Lao Yuan, don't get excited. Let the police investigate first. Let's not cause any more trouble."
Time is urgent. Every minute of delay means one minute of delay in finding Ah Sheng.
Old Yuan took a few steps back after hearing what he said. "Comrade police officer, please continue."
As he spoke, he stared at the bloodstains on the ground without blinking.
Lin Lu got married early and is not yet fifty this year. Lao Yuan is a few years older than him and is fifty-five.
When he was young, Lao Yuan participated in the revolution and traveled all over the country.
