Chapter 547: 547 Goudan is missing

"Uncle Lin, don’t pass out on me. If it gets too much, just lean on me. I won’t ever hassle you again." He relented.

His eyes, however, revealed a frustration like he was disappointed in weak steel.

Alas, Uncle Lin was too much of a pushover!

After eating so much, how could his body not manage to work in the fields for some work points? He wasn’t even as strong as Tiedan.

Lin Aiguo showed no signs of being comforted.

He extended his hand, pressed it on the top of Lin Zhijin’s head, and gently pushed him to one side.

"Go play, stop buzzing around me."

This face deserved a beating, and the only reason it did not happen was that everyone here had some dignity.

Try that behavior outside...

In the time it took to exchange just a few words, Li Xiuli had become desperately worried.

Looking at Tiedan and Choudou, she asked, "Tiedan, Choudou, when did you two get back? Did you see Zhicheng?"

It was only now, seeing that these two boys were home but Zhicheng was not, that her palms began to sweat, and her heart seemed to be holding several rabbits, thumping wildly.

Tiedan and Choudou were stunned, "..."

Wait, Goudan hasn’t come back yet?

Gao Ping, seeing the urgency in her sister-in-law’s eyes, slapped the dazed Tiedan.

"Speak up quickly, man! Your aunt is worried. What are you spacing out for?"

Tiedan quickly came to his senses and replied, "We’ve been back for a little while now, haven’t seen Goudan."

Choudou also nodded, "Yeah, I didn’t see him either."

They had waited at the school gates for a long time but he never showed up.

They had thought the kid had forgotten about them and felt rather resentful on the way home...

Having received a definite answer, Li Xiuli turned pale, "This is bad, where could Zhicheng be then?"

With that, she ran out the door.

Gao Ping and Lin Aiguo were momentarily stunned.

But they quickly realized the gravity of the situation and hurried after her in a frenzy.

Li Xiuli, worried about her eldest grandson, although her limbs were old and tired, somehow found extraordinary energy.

She was out of sight in just a moment.

Gao Ping and Lin Aiguo followed as fast as they could but still couldn’t catch up.

"Aiguo, you need to hurry and catch up with your aunt. I’ll go call your dad..."

"Alright, I’m on it."

Lin Aiguo agreed and took off like the wind, chasing the figure of Li Xiuli that was already out of sight.

Gao Ping rushed toward the brigade office and soon bumped into Lin Fu, who was on his way home.

"Wife, what are you rushing off to?"

As soon as Lin Fu asked, Gao Ping grabbed his arm urgently.

"Husband, Goudan hasn’t come home from school. Xiuli is panicking. You need to organize a search party quickly."

As the evening approached and the sky grew darker, Gao Ping was frantic with worry.

When Lin Fu heard that Lin Zhicheng hadn’t come home, his expression darkened dramatically.

"What?" His voice involuntarily rose.

"What happened? The child is missing, and you’re not out looking for him yet? Where’s your brother? Where are the Blue Mountain folks?"

Panic set in as he spun in place.

How could Gao Ping know?

Xiuli had run off without explaining, and she honestly had no idea.

Seeing his wife at a loss for words, Lin Fu patted her shoulder to calm her, "You go back home, I’ll find out what’s going on."

"If Goudan really hasn’t come back, I’ll call on the villagers to join the search."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he was off to the village entrance.

With her mind full of concerns, Gao Ping wasn’t in the mood to go home and hurried after him.

"...I’ll go with you."

The couple hurried towards the village entrance.

Before long, they ran into Lin Lu and Li Xiuli.

"Brother, have you found Goudan?" Lin Fu asked, gasping for breath.

Gao Ping looked on worried.

Lin Lu shook his head with a tense expression, "... No."

He was supporting Li Xiuli, his eyes filled with concern.

He had been genuinely scared a moment earlier when his wife had staggered.

Hearing this, Lin Fu said, "I’m going to call on the villagers to help with the search."

Before the words were fully out of his mouth, his figure had disappeared.

Lin Lu had intended to take Li Xiuli home first before heading to the school to look for his eldest grandson.

Seeing Gao Ping, he said, "Sister-in-law, could you trouble yourself to take Tangtang’s mother back first? Aiguo and I will go to the school to look for him."

Li Xiuli saw that it was almost dark and various thoughts flashed through her mind, making her head buzz.

Worried she would delay things, she suppressed the anxious feelings in her heart and went back first with Gao Ping.

Lin Lu and Lin Aiguo had gone to the county to look for people.

As soon as they left, the village loudspeakers suddenly started blaring.

The Shuangshan Brigade community members who were eating rushed out from their homes.

When one calls, a hundred respond.

A crowd gathered at the Brigade Department.

"Captain, as soon as Goudan went missing, we should have started searching immediately. Where did the child disappear? Where shall we look?"

"Let’s first ask those school kids, see if anyone has seen Goudan..."

The crowd was noisily making suggestions.

Yi Weiliang was quick to act. Hearing the suggestion about asking the village schoolchildren, he immediately called a few of them over.

"Hey, you guys, have you seen Goudan?"

Xiaohua and a few other students thought hard.

A skinny boy raised his hand, "I saw him, right after school, I saw Goudan run away..."

Hearing this, Lin Fu hurriedly asked, "Where did he run off to?"

The skinny boy, feeling nervous under the gaze of the Captain, stammered, "...I, I saw Goudan, he seemed to run towards the other side of the school gate."

He pointed with his hand to the right.

An image of the road on the right side of the school gate came to Yi Weiliang’s mind.

That seemed to be the road to the county!

What would Goudan be doing in the county?

"Captain, I think we need to go to the county to look for him. We must be quick..." Yi Weiliang said with furrowed brows.

It would be easier to find the child if he were in the brigade.

But going to the county was like looking for a needle in the sea.

If we hurry, it might still be in time.

Lin Fu made a decisive decision, "I need twenty men to come with me to the county to look for people; the others help search in the village too. Thank you, everyone."

What if Goudan had returned to the village.

Yi Weiliang stepped forward, the first to say, "Captain, you’re being too polite. I’ll go to the county."

Li Jiancai and several brigade cadres quickly followed suit.

"I’ll go too."

"I’m in as well."

A young man who often delivered sauce to the county also stood up.

"I often go to the county to deliver sauce, I know the place well, I must go."

"Exactly, count me in too."

...

The educated youth heard the loudspeaker and came out of their residence.

As soon as they arrived, they saw... such a united and bustling scene in Shuangshan Brigade.

They couldn’t help but feel somewhat touched.

What dear and lovely fellow villagers.

Coming here isn’t purely a bad thing, is it?

Yi Feiyang, representing the educated youth, stepped out and said, "Captain, we’ll help too."

Lin Fu looked over, his serious face breaking into a smile.

"Thank you."

"If there’s a need, we definitely can’t do without you all."

The implied meaning was that for the time being, it wasn’t necessary.

After all, the educated youth were still unfamiliar with rural life.

However.

The fact that the educated youths came forward to offer help made Lin Fu warm up to these city kids even more.

They were all considerate.

The care provided by the brigade was not misplaced.

Yi Feiyang was the eldest at home, his parents pampered the physically weaker youngest, making him almost invisible in his own house.

He was very sensitive to other people’s emotions.

Sensing that the Captain’s alienation from them, the educated youth, had lessened greatly, he showed a bright smile.

"Alright, then we’ll look around the brigade."

Having only been in the village a short while, his perfect Mandarin had already started to deviate.
