In the yard, a group of children and teachers were playing the game of eagle and chicken. Chu Bai stood at the door, a little dazed.
Lan Meng was eating her burger with mixed emotions. She had long discovered that this kindergarten nurse was a little unusual and didn't seem like a normal person.
He didn't panic when facing the cold muzzle of the gun, nor did he look nervous or scared when dealing with his own wounds. His behavior was a bit too plain and natural, and even when facing his own half-naked body, he didn't look normal.
The reaction a teenager should have.
Everything, this boy's behavior is obviously inconsistent with his age.
However, Lan Meng can also be sure that this young man is not a qi-training monk, let alone a warrior. His body is too thin and thin, and his eyes are very clear and clean. He is obviously a big boy who has just grown up.
"Did he have any special life experiences? So he behaved naturally when facing guns, blood, and women?" Lan Meng's curiosity arose. Of course, she would not gossip.
What to ask.
It was as if the big boy in front of her didn't ask her anything, because the meeting between the two was a coincidence in itself. When it gets dark, she will leave, and maybe the two will never meet again in the vast life.
, so what’s the use of asking?
"You should have a rest. I have to work. I will buy you something to eat later! Chu Bai originally planned to make the spirit board in this room, but Lan Meng is here, so he can only postpone it.
Planting something cannot be discovered by anyone, nor can it be done in a short time.
"Thank you. Thank you!" Lan Meng opened his mouth, intending to say something, but in the end he just said thank you.
Chu Bai smiled and walked out, then locked the door.
There were weeds in the backyard. Chu Bai didn't have anything to do, so he picked up the shovel and broom in the utility room and started to clean up. Chen Pingping's yard was nice and quiet, and he even wanted to live here.
, after all, it is always inconvenient to stay at Chen Pingping's place. He has to practice at night. The most important thing is that if he can live here, he can work overtime at night to make the spirit board.
The soul-finding board cannot be made overnight. It is a delicate job. In the end, it even requires positioning with the stars, connecting with the earth's energy, etc. This all needs to be completed outside, and it also needs a quiet and remote place, so this kindergarten
The courtyard is just right for him.
"But can she let me move out?" Chu Bai touched his nose. Chen Pingping was really kind to him. He could feel it. Chen Pingping treated him as his own brother.
"Chu Bai, something happened." While Chu Bai was cleaning up the yard, Chen Pingping suddenly jogged up to Chu Bai and lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Rui's father was beaten and is now sent to the hospital. Xiao Rui
His mother asked Xiao Rui not to send him back after school, and she would pick him up in person when it gets dark!"
"What's going on?" Chu Bai put down his tools and asked with a frown.
Chen Pingping shook his head: "Xiao Rui's mother didn't say anything, but it should be related to the demolition of their house."
Chu Bai raised his eyebrows. He had been down the mountain for more than a month. Of course he knew that there were many injustices in the world. He had heard the old fortune tellers chatting about this when developers were bullying the people in the square.
, claiming that in order to force residents to leave, a certain developer threw gasoline bottles at residents' homes at night, smashed windows, etc.
But he didn't expect that the Xiaorui family would be in the same situation.
But he couldn't care about this kind of thing even if he wanted to. He couldn't help Xiao Rui's father kill someone with a knife, right? This kind of conflict and dispute can only be handled by the government in the end. So he thought for a while and said: "Okay, tonight
I'll stay and wait with Xiao Rui for his mother to pick him up. There's one more thing I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Chen Pingping asked.
"I want to repair the roof of the house behind and then move out!"
"No, I don't agree!" Before Chu Bai could finish speaking, Chen Pingping interrupted him directly, waving his hands and saying: "How can people live here? It's damp and humid, and there are a lot of mosquitoes at night. There's no need to discuss this matter.
.But if you think it's inconvenient for you and me to live together, you can buy our house across from each other. Their house is for sale!" Chen Pingping used the word 'our house', obviously she regarded Chu Bai as a family.
.
"But I feel like it's nice here. Buying a house costs money!" Chu Bai was speechless for a while. He bought a crappy house. He might leave one day. What's the point of buying a house? He doesn't want a wife?
"Repairing a house also costs money. Let's stop this matter. I'm going back to class. You continue to work. You performed very well. I'll give you a bigger bonus at the end of the month!" Chen Pingping didn't give Chu Bai a chance to speak again.
, turned around and ran back to the front yard.
Chu Bai smiled bitterly, this cheap sister stuck to her.
Of course, he didn't see the complicated emotions in Chen Pingping's eyes the moment he turned around.
Chen Pingping did not have classes, but returned to the office, sitting on the sofa in a daze. She didn't know what was wrong with herself. Chu Bai looked like her brother, but he was not a real brother, and she also had a crush on Chu Bai.
An indescribable feeling.
In the past two days when Chu Bai stayed at her house, she found that not only did she not have any thoughts of vigilance, she even slept more deeply at night. She felt very at ease, and even her mood became cheerful, feeling like she had regained her youthful time.
, giving her a sense of vitality.
"Do I lack a man? Do I want to find someone to live my life with? But it shouldn't be Chu Bai, he is my younger brother, he hasn't grown up yet! And he will leave sooner or later, why would I be reluctant to let go? Can't let go of this feeling? Or is it?
Can't you let go of this younger brother?" Chen Pingping felt conflicted, complicated, and annoyed. She found that after Chu Bai broke into her life and world, she seemed to be changing, but as for what had changed, she couldn't say yet.
come out.
Of course, Chu Bai didn't have as many complicated thoughts as Chen Pingping. After hoeing at noon and eating, he went to the nearby market to wander around. He didn't come back until 3:30 in the afternoon, and he brought back two boxes of lunch and sent them to the backyard.
's house.
Lan Meng is still there, sitting cross-legged in the corner, closing her eyes and regulating her breath. Her complexion has improved. After all, she was born perfect. As long as the warhead is taken out, there will be no sequelae at all. I believe that by night, she will be able to be alive and kicking.
Chu Bai didn't bother her, put down his lunch box and walked out. At four o'clock sharp, students got out of school and he had to deliver them.
Chen Pingping did not wait for him to go home with him, but claimed to go back to cook and asked him to take a taxi back in the evening. However, before leaving, Chen Pingping looked a little bad, with an indescribable sadness on his face.
Chu Bai was busy taking care of the students, so although he could see that Chen Pingping looked bad, he didn't have time to ask. Besides, he wasn't the kind of person who asked questions about everything.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Bai returned to the kindergarten again. At this time, only Xiao Rui and the watchman were left in the kindergarten. The two were watching the cartoons of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf with great interest.
"Brother Chu Bai." When Xiao Rui saw Chu Bai coming back, he leaned into Chu Bai's arms affectionately. At the same time, he took out a piece of candy, peeled it open, stuffed it into Chu Bai's mouth, and snickered: "This is for My brother kept it."
Chu Bai rubbed his head dotingly and said with a smile: "Sit here and wait for me, brother, go to the toilet."
"Yes." Xiao Rui nodded obediently, and Chu Bai also walked straight to the backyard.
It was getting dark now, and he had an intuition that Lan Meng must be waiting for it to go away, so he wanted to see if Lan Meng was still there.
Sure enough, just as he walked into the yard and glanced with his spiritual consciousness, he found that the back room was empty, but there seemed to be something left on the table in the room.
After Chu Bai opened the door and went in, he saw a palm-sized striped paper on the table, with dozens of traditional Chinese characters written on it: Thank you, I owe you a life, my phone number is..., do you have any questions in the future? If you have any trouble, you can come to me, Lan Meng!
The calligraphy was as beautiful as the person. After Chu Bai wrote down the phone number, he pinched it lightly, and the palm-sized striped paper instantly turned into fine powder.
"Xiao Rui~" Suddenly, just as Chu Bai was about to return, a lung-piercing scream came from the front yard. It was a woman!
Chu Bai was shocked and immediately scanned it with his spiritual consciousness.
However, after just one glance, Chu Bai's eyes stood up because he saw two men dragging Xiao Rui into a van.
"How dare you!" Chu Bai shouted and ran towards the front yard without even locking the door.
An unlicensed van had already driven away. Xiao Rui's mother was holding her stomach and crying on the ground. The watchman seemed too frightened to go out, but huddled in the window and watched the scene.
With a "swish" sound, Chu Bai jumped out and ran along the street like a gust of wind. He never expected that someone would kidnap Xiao Rui, a child from a poor family!
Black-hearted businessmen do whatever they can! No need to guess, you know this is another act of coercion by the developer.
"Are my eyes blurred?" The watchman in the mailroom rubbed his eyes. He seemed to see a dark shadow passing by the door, but he saw no one.

At the same time, the Nan'an City Criminal Police Brigade was holding a meeting overnight, because an hour ago, a vicious kidnapping case occurred in the city. The kidnapped person was a fifteen-year-old high school freshman named Liu Yunzhi, who is also the deputy captain. Liu Quzhuang's cousin is a direct descendant of the Liu family in Northwest China.
The Liu family is a conglomerate with assets worth billions, so the province attaches great importance to it, and the city also attaches great importance to it. Even the media has received wind of it and is trying to dig up this shocking news.
"Director, another kidnapping case has occurred!" Before the policemen who were analyzing the case in the conference room could come up with a good solution, a policeman on duty brought another piece of bad news.
"What's going on?" All the police officers handling the case became serious. The quality of public security in a city is directly related to the city's image and even its development. If there are consecutive kidnapping cases that are widely publicized by the media, then Nan'an City will not be able to do so. Becoming the focus of the country? So when they heard that another kidnapping case had occurred, everyone felt a suffocating pressure. Doesn't this add fuel to the fire?
Why did the kidnappers all choose to kidnap and commit crimes on the same day? Is it a coincidence or targeted premeditation?
"It's a child from a private kindergarten named Zhuang Rui. He was kidnapped in front of the kindergarten at 6:10 in the evening. His mother was injured and has been sent to the hospital." A group of children and teachers were playing catch in the yard.
In the chicken game, Chu Bai stood at the door in a daze.
Lan Meng was eating her burger with mixed emotions. She had long discovered that this kindergarten nurse was a little unusual and didn't seem like a normal person.

If you have any trouble, you can come to me, Lan Meng!
The calligraphy was as beautiful as the person. After Chu Bai wrote down the phone number, he pinched it lightly, and the palm-sized striped paper instantly turned into fine powder.
