Chapter 372 Buying a Ship in Distress 5
Yike was extremely anxious, but she didn't know where to find Tang Jianguo. She cursed, "In this damn era, there are no cell phones."
She had no choice but to go to the station to inquire how long it would take to get to Ren County. When she heard that the fastest time would be four hours, she once again cursed the time travel god for not letting her travel to an age with mobile phones.
The time-travel master secretly retorted in his heart: "I have never seen such a stupid heroine. Her husband could make a mobile phone in his previous life, so why didn't he make it in advance? Humph, he just wants to be an insignificant person."
Yike didn't know that she was despised by the time-travelling god, so she left the station and headed straight for the dock.
She thought: "If I buy a boat, it will definitely be faster than a car. I can go to the dock and maybe I can pick up Ziyi."
But she didn't know that if the boat was not going downstream, it would definitely not be as fast as a car.
When she arrived at the dock, she did not pick up Ziyi, but instead saw Tang Jianguo practicing driving a boat.
She stood on the shore and shouted, "Tang Jianguo, Tang Jianguo."
Tang Jianguo drove the boat over and moored it, then jumped ashore and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Yi Ke asked, "Brother Tang, do you have any way to contact Zi Yi?"
"Yes, there are, but we may not be able to contact them. What can I do for you? If it's not urgent, just wait a while. They should be back in the afternoon. Look, that's the boat Ziyi bought." Tang Jianguo said, pointing at the boat.
Yi Ke waved his hand and said, "I just want to know where he is now?"
"Well, if they stayed in the county town last night, they should have been back around ten o'clock. We have someone in the county town, I'll call and ask for you." After Tang Jianguo finished speaking, he pushed his bicycle over and went back to his home with Yike.
A telephone was also installed where Tang Jianguo lives this year, and Ziyi required that each county town should have its own telephone.
The two returned to where Tang Jianguo lived. Tang Jianguo immediately made a phone call while Yi Ke stood beside him and watched.
After the call was connected, Tang Jianguo found out that Ziyi and Ma Youcai did not come to the county town last night. It was probably too late and the road was difficult to travel, so they stayed in the village.
"Sister-in-law, let me call that village and ask if we stayed there last night." Seeing Yike's worried look, Tang Jianguo called Yuefeng Village again.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered, so Tang Jianguo had to stop.
He comforted Yike, "Sister-in-law, Ziyi is a very good driver, you don't have to worry."
"No, I suddenly had heart palpitations last night and felt that something had happened to him. No, I want to take a bus to Xi County." Yi Ke thought about it and still felt worried, so he decided to take a bus there by himself.
"Sister-in-law, if you go there and Ziyi drives back, you will miss the opportunity, right? You'd better wait a while. If he doesn't come back in the afternoon, we can go there tomorrow." Tang Jianguo advised.
Yike walked to the door and looked at the foggy sky outside. Today's sunlight was completely blocked by the white scarf of the Mist Girl. What he saw with his eyes, touched with his hands, hung on the trees, and floated in the air were all silk strands of the Mist Girl's gauze.
Yike's heart was also covered with a thin mist, and he felt so cold and uneasy.
She no longer listened to Tang Jianguo's dissuasion and insisted on going to Xi County.
As she got on her bike and prepared to leave, Tang Jianguo's phone rang.
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute. I'll go with you as soon as I get the call. You don't know where to go if you go alone. Wait a minute." Tang Jianguo turned back to his room to answer the phone.
"What? Someone saw his car. Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? You didn't see the person? Impossible. How could the car be there and the person not be? Can you look for it more carefully?" Tang Jianguo's voice came from the room.
A bicycle that could be supported fell to the ground with a clang. The sound was like a wine bottle breaking on the ground, sudden and loud.
Her eyes moved from the foggy sky and earth outside to the door, and her feet moved towards the door with difficulty. Her eyes looked at the receiver in Tang Jianguo's hand, her lips trembled for a while, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.
At this moment, no word came out of her moving lips, and her hands holding the door frame trembled uncontrollably.
Tang Jianguo couldn't ignore Yi Ke's tearful eyes. He hurriedly said into the phone, "Go find someone quickly, call me back when you find them." Then he quickly hung up the phone, held Yi Ke and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Yike was finally able to speak. She asked, "Is it Ziyi's car? Were you talking about Ziyi on the phone just now? What happened to him? Why can't we find him? Where did the car overturn? Could someone have fallen into the river? Hurry up and call them to look for him in the river."
Tang Jianguo finally understood why Yi Ke reacted like this, and hurriedly explained: "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. Ziyi is fine, and the car did not overturn. Our brothers saw Ziyi's car parked next to the Xi County Guesthouse, but they didn't see anyone, so I asked them to look for it. Sister-in-law, please sit down, they should call us soon."
Yike realized that she had just had a false alarm. She sat down next to the phone, her eyes quickly shifting from the wall clock to the phone, and from the phone to the wall clock. She was so nervous that sweat began to appear on her forehead. The second hand of the wall clock seemed to stay there and not move. The air around her was frozen, and she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
The phone beeped. Yi Ke nervously watched Tang Jianguo pick up the receiver and heard Tang Jianguo ask, "Did you find it?"
The voice of the other party saying that it was not found also reached Yi Ke's ears clearly.
"Why? Why is there no one? Where did they go?" Yi Ke asked in a low voice.
Tang Jianguo also asked into the microphone: "Isn't there any in the guesthouse? ””
"No, they didn't stay at the guest house. I asked my brothers to wait by the car, and I'll tell you when they come back to drive."
"Okay, tell them to call back." Tang Jianguo hung up the phone and looked at Yi Ke's disappointed eyes. He could only comfort her, "Sister-in-law, why don't you rest here? I'll ask my sister-in-law to accompany you."
"No need. How about you take me there by boat? It seems like boats are faster." Yi Ke suddenly had an idea.
"Xi County is upstream, so how can it be fast if we go upstream?" Tang Jianguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking: "Sister-in-law is really something. It's okay to see Ziyi a few hours later. Why does she have to see him right away? I really don't understand. It's better to be single."
"Then I'll go back. Tell me when you get the news." Yi Ke reluctantly left the phone, went out to pick up the Phoenix bicycle that had fallen to the ground, and said to himself, "Phoenix, oh Phoenix, if only you could fly, we could fly to Ziyi right away."
Tang Jianguo, who sent her out, smiled and said, "Ziyi is so lucky to have a daughter-in-law who cares about him so much."
Yike couldn't help but remind Tang Jianguo again: "Brother Tang, thank you for your hard work in telling me the news later. Don't go to the river. If you are not at home, no one will know when the phone call comes."
