Chapter 133 The Child is Lost



After Gu Chengze recovered from his injury, he returned to work soon.

Lin Jingshu also returned to school to attend classes.

That day, after Gu Chengze finished his work in the office, he felt a little hungry and took out a lunch box from the drawer.

When I opened the lid, a fragrance came out.

With a "crack", remove the shell and throw the chestnut into your mouth.

It tastes really good.

The chestnuts sent by my mother-in-law have been carefully selected and are all of the best quality. I smear coconut oil on the cut surface, sprinkle with sugar, and bake them. The sweetness penetrates into the chestnuts, leaving a lingering fragrance in my mouth.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door.

Gu Chengze quickly put away the lunch box and stuffed it into the drawer before he left. The door was opened.

He looked at the newcomer with an unhappy expression, "Why did you come in before I even asked you to come in?"

The person who came was Ji Pingshan.

Ji Pingshan: "I waited for a long time but didn't hear your response. I thought something had happened and was so worried that I rushed in. You don't know how to appreciate a good person."

Gu Chengze was enjoying his meal and wanted to send him away, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Ji Pingshan said nothing and just kept searching around the house.

"What are you looking for like a mouse?"

Ji Pingshan: "Did you eat something secretly?"

Ever since Lin Jingshu got a grill, she would bring some food to the barracks for Gu Chengze from time to time so that he could fill his stomach when he didn't have time to eat during work.

I have met Ji Pingshan several times, and whenever I have nothing to do, I will come to his office for a walk.

"Where did this come from? You've already looted it all. If you want to eat it, go back and make it yourself."

Gu Chengze frowned and looked at him unhappily. Fortunately, he had put it away in advance and the chestnut shells had slipped under the table, otherwise he would have really discovered them.

As long as he doesn't admit it, Ji Pingshan can't do anything.

"You've been acting too prominently lately, and a few of us have been implicated."

Ji Pingshan recalled that his wife glared at him at home because of Gu Chengze's cooking.

In order to maintain family harmony, Ji Pingshan has recently become a househusband.

"Old Gu, is there anything else delicious?"

Lin Shan also came to join in the fun.

The corner of Gu Chengze's mouth twitched. With these two shameless people getting together, he probably couldn't keep his dry food.

He sighed deeply, took out two from under the table and threw them over.

"Hurry up and leave. Stop being an eyesore."

How can one be enough? It’s not even enough to fill the gap between my teeth.

Lin Shan had a plan in mind and secretly exchanged a glance with Ji Pingshan.

A few minutes later, Gu Chengze looked at the two people getting closer and closer, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Lin Shan: "Hand over your rations and I'll keep you alive."

Ji Pingshan moved his shoulders, obviously meaning the same thing.

Gu Chengze curled the corner of his mouth. Since they came to him, don't blame him for being rude.

It was just right after I recovered from my injury, but I hadn’t had time to find someone to spar with.

The battlefield of the three people moved from the office to the training ground.

Upon learning that the three of them were competing, many soldiers gathered around the training ground to watch.

Qi Demin and Hou Yuliang also heard the news.

Qi Demin's three generals were going to compete, and there was a bit more interest in his eyes. He called Hou Yuliang to go to the training ground together.

"Let's go and see the excitement."

Gu Chengze has a one to two advantage, and standing there is needless to say, he is a sight in himself.

Lin Shan: "For my sister's sake, I won't slap you in the face later."

Gu Chengze: "...it's still unclear who will fight whom later."

Outside the training ground, some soldiers were already secretly placing bets.

The bet is simple and crude: the loser has to wash the winner's socks for a week.

Xiao Chen confidently placed his bet on his own team leader, "Team Gu will definitely win."

Xiao Pan refused to admit defeat, "Who said that? It must be Lin Tuan."

"I also think it's Lin Tuan and Ji Tuan."

Two people are always stronger than one.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight. Qi Demin put his hands behind his back and pricked up his ears, unable to resist the urge to place a bet.

On the training ground, the three of them moved swiftly and used all their strength in every move.

This is respect for the opponent and responsibility to yourself.

Hou Yuliang: "These guys are all quite skilled. We can make reservations for the upcoming big competition."

Although there are few people on the island, there are many hidden talents. In the major competitions in the past few years, they have always ranked at the forefront.

Gu Chengze has also won first place in individual competitions twice, so his strength is naturally needless to say.

The training ground was full of intense competition.

On the other side, Lin Jingshu was equally passionate.

"Teacher Tong, have you found Ma Xiaojie?"

"No."

Lin Jingshu was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. Where did this child go?

It turned out that the school organized a labor class, and as an assistant teacher, Lin Jingshu should have had nothing to do. However, the fourth-grade teacher, Mr. Hu, had a sick child at home and had taken leave and had no time to look after the child, so she asked Lin Jingshu to help look after the child.

Teacher Hu is usually gentle to others, and Lin Jingshu also likes to get along with her. Since she has nothing to do at home, she took the job without hesitation.

The place for labor is in the school’s small vegetable garden, which ensures the children’s safety and allows them to participate in labor smoothly.

It seemed to be a foolproof thing, but something went wrong.

Tong Zhiyuan is the fifth-grade head teacher, and the two classes are assigned to work together.

After discovering that Ma Xiaojie was missing, they helped to find the child.

Lin Jingshu asked the children in the class, but they didn't know where Ma Xiaojie had gone.

Half an hour has passed since Ma Xiaojie disappeared, and we can't waste any more time.

Lin Jingshu: "I'm going to find Team Leader Tian. You take the children back first."

Tong Zhiyuan said yes.

When Team Leader Tian heard that Ma Xiaojie was missing, he could no longer sit still.

Lin Jingshu: "Let's go ask the guard first. As long as the child hasn't left the school, everything will be fine."

Team leader Tian knew this, but some parts of the school were in disrepair and the fences were unstable, so he couldn't rule out the possibility that the children could climb over the wall and escape.

The two of them acted separately, Lin Jingshu went to the guard first, and Team Leader Tian reported the news to the superiors.

Lin Jingshu came to the guardhouse, and the guard was lying in the shade of a tree basking in the sun.

Upon learning the purpose of Lin Jingshu's visit, the old man scratched his few remaining hairs and tried hard to recall.

"Is it a skinny guy who is a bit dark?"

Lin Jingshu recalled Ma Xiaojie's appearance and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that's right. Did you see where he went?"

The old man tried hard to recall, "He said he had a stomachache and asked his teacher for leave to go home and rest. He also showed me the note. You wait here, I'll go look for him."

"Excuse me, sir."

The security guard found a neatly written piece of paper from a pile of papers and handed it to Lin Jingshu. "Although I am an old man who cannot read, I can tell at a glance that this child's handwriting is neat."

Lin Jingshu: "Thank you."

Lin Jingshu didn't know the address of Ma Xiaojie's home. Just as she was about to go back, she found that Principal Peng had come with his men.

Principal Peng looked anxious. She devoted herself to her work and treated every child in the school as her own.

The child was suddenly lost, and she was the one who was most worried.

"Any news?"

Lin Jingshu held up the leave application in her hand and said, "Ma Xiaojie has asked for leave, but the note is signed by Teacher Hu."
