Palm Idol

Fortunately, Lu Yiwen didn't take Jing Xiang's words to heart, he was more puzzled about how Jian She knew about Xiao Lu.

Jian She didn't hide it, and directly told about the quarrel between Xu Lan and Xiaolu that day, and even perfectly restored the conversation that day.

"..."

Lu Yiwen's mood became more complicated. Although he knew Xu Lan's virtue of running away, he didn't expect that he was even forced to come to the company for an interview.

"Let me ask this girl first."

Lu Yiwen originally wanted to talk to Xiaolu directly on Xu Lan's mobile phone, but after thinking about it, it seemed a bit inappropriate, so he changed his mobile phone and added the other party's WeChat.

Probably because his words were sincere enough, the passage over there was very fast.

Xiaolu was obviously impatient. After listening to Lu Yiwen's situation, she made a voice call directly.

"I'm sorry, Manager Lu." Xiaolu's voice was polite and polite, "I shouldn't have encouraged Xu Lan to attend the interview before, I'm really sorry."

She apologized again and again, speaking urgently and quickly, and she seemed to be able to see her bowing constantly across the phone.

"It doesn't matter, the result of the interview is not up to me." Lu Yiwen gently touched the topic, "The important thing now is to get the person back."

"...No, don't bother looking for it." But Xiao Lu said, "He used to run out often, so you don't need to worry about him, really don't."

"It used to be the same?" Lu Yiwen was a little surprised, "How long does it usually take to come back after running out?"

This question seemed a bit difficult to answer, and the other side suddenly fell silent.

Lu Yiwen: "Hello?"

Xiaolu finally picked up the words: "I won't be coming back."

Lu Yiwen let out a soft "ah": "What's going on?"

"...will not come back," Xiao Lu's voice suddenly became softer and lower, "He also ran to my house from the last place in this way, but I didn't know that he escaped at that time..."

last place?

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiwen suddenly had a bad feeling: "Well, I would like to take the liberty to ask, aren't you and Xu Lan a family?"

"Family... that's okay, but I'm just his distant cousin." Xiao Lu said, "Actually, it was only three months ago that he came to live with me."

Later, through Xiaolu's explanation, Lu Yiwen learned that Xu Lan's parents had passed away a long time ago, and he had been living in the homes of a few poor relatives for so many years.

After all, relatives are no better than parents. It may be possible to take care of him and let him go to school, but it is impossible to raise him with all his heart. Therefore, Xu Lan has lived in school since he was 12 years old when he entered junior high school until his sophomore year.

"He used to go to Yue Middle School in Qianle City next door, but for some reason he came to our side a while ago..." Xiao Lu continued to explain the situation on the phone, "I asked him at the time, and he cried He told me that he was dismissed because of tuition fees."

"The one he went to seemed to be a well-known noble high school, and the annual tuition fees were horribly high. When I saw the situation, I asked him if he wanted to try a part-time job in the company. If nothing else, it would be good to earn his own tuition fees ...But I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble."

"And now I ran out irresponsibly. You still have photography work tomorrow, right? I think he chose this time to go out. Really... what else can he do besides causing trouble for others?"

"In short, I don't think you really need to worry about him. With his character, he won't wake up unless he suffers a little bit."

When Xiaolu narrated these, her voice was steady and not excited, but Lu Yiwen could hear a deep sense of powerlessness from her words, as if she was exhausted to the extreme for everything about Xu Lan.

The phone was on speakerphone, so Jing Xiang and Jian She naturally heard Xiao Lu's words.

"Then what should we do now?" After hanging up the phone, Jing Xiang scratched his hair and asked Lu Yiwen anxiously.

Lu Yiwen sighed: "I can't hide it. If this is the case, go to the police early tomorrow morning."

"Then Xu Lan is going to sleep outside tonight?" Jing Xiang sat down from the chair and stood up again, "This...don't let anything happen..."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yiwen said: "That's right, why don't you stay here first, and I'll go to the mountain to find a circle to try."

"Come on, brother?!" Jing Xiang was taken aback, "It's so late, it's so dark outside, it will take several hours to go around, but don't worry about Xu Lan, you won't be able to come back by then coming."

"Where am I so vulnerable?" Lu Yiwen said, "It's okay, I'll be back soon, it's almost summer, and the mountains aren't that scary."

Jian She got up immediately: "I'll go too."

Lu Yiwen stopped and said, "No, just wait for me here."

"I have experience living on a deserted island before." Jian She insisted on following him out, "I know how to find someone in this situation."

Lu Yiwen was a little disbelieving: "Really? What are you doing on a deserted island when you have nothing to do?"

"Uncle Le took me there." Jian She explained, "When he was playing photography, he liked adventure."

"but……"

"And brother, don't you remember what you promised me this afternoon?"

"Afternoon? I answer—"

Lu Yiwen wanted to say "I promised you something", but Jian Sheqiai's words "Keep me by your side" suddenly sounded in his mind, making the second half of his sentence stuck in his throat.

For some unknown reason, this sentence made him suddenly feel guilty.

"That, that's fine." Lu Yiwen reluctantly agreed, "You go back to the room and wear tight clothes, the temperature may be low on the mountain."

After Jian She agreed, she and Lu Yiwen would go back to the room separately.

"What kind of riddles are you playing there?" Only Jing Xiang was at a loss, "Or I can go together."

"You can go to the police with Xiaomei tomorrow morning." Before Jian She could speak, Lu Yiwen denied it first, "The mountain is not a fun place, you have to worry about more."

"..." Jing Xiang somehow felt that this sentence was full of discrimination against him, "Then be careful on the road, and contact me at any time if you need anything."

Before going up the mountain, Lu Yiwen and Jian She went to the owner of the homestay and asked him about the situation.

"Why do you have to go up the mountain so late?" The owner of the homestay is a warm-hearted uncle. Upon hearing their request, he immediately dug out an old map with seven or eight markings, and drew a circle somewhere near the top of the mountain. "Here, there is a geothermal source here. Usually we go up the mountain to collect something, and if we don't plan to come down one day, we cook something. Some people's pots and pans are there... If there are caves, there are several nearby."

"One of our students got lost on the mountain. He was too timid to come down, so he called and asked us to pick it up."

Lu Yiwen gave a reason casually, he didn't want to make too much trouble about Xu Lan's running out yet.

"Oh, don't worry!" the owner of the homestay said confidently, "everywhere in our place has been artificially developed, and there is no danger on the mountain at night except for a little darkness. Tell your little friend not to be afraid."

Lu Yiwen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, thank you."

After inquiring about the terrain, the two thickened their clothes, carried two large flashlights and went along the mountain road.

In the beginning, in order to hurry, the two of them were relatively silent, one after the other, they went straight to the geothermal source that the uncle of the hotel said.

Then enter a narrow trail, with bushes on both sides, and the rocks used as steps under the feet are also covered with slippery moss.

Lu Yiwen saw it with a flashlight, subconsciously turned his head and said to Jian She who was behind him: "Be careful, this road is not easy to walk."

Jian She didn't speak, just gave a soft "hmm".

Lu Yiwen felt a little strange. Looking back, he saw Jian She lowered his head, shaking the flashlight in his hand absently.

The night was solemn, and Lu Yiwen couldn't see his emotions too much, but suddenly remembered that when he was going to help Jingxiang before, Jian She was awkward for a long time.

Lu Yiwen asked him without any trace: "What's wrong?"

"I'm thinking about one thing." Jian She said slowly, "I don't understand why Xu Lan went to Yue Middle School in Qianle."

Lu Yiwen also thought of this just now, and it is really unreasonable.

Since Xu Lan's life is not considered good, it's a bit strange to go to a noble high school with high tuition fees... Maybe it's not because of the tuition fees, but because of some other hidden reason that he escaped from the school.

Although he didn't want to take it seriously, the "Do you know what he did" that Gao Yang said before always lingered in Lu Yiwen's mind.

Jian She went up the steps: "Let's find someone first, maybe you can only find out by asking him."

Lu Yiwen seemed a little surprised and asked, "Do you not mind?"

Jian She didn't understand: "What?"

"It's rare to see you care so much about your teammates." Lu Yiwen also continued to walk up, and said casually, "When I said I was going up the mountain, I thought you would strongly object... Actually, you don't have to force yourself to follow me. Come out, how comfortable it is to stay in the B&B at this time."

The night in Xuenan Island is not only dark, but also has a silence that covers everything. At this time, you can't even hear a few insects, and the surroundings are silent. Amid the monotonous and dull footsteps of the two, Lu Yiwen heard Jane She opened her mouth.

"No coercion..." Jian She whispered, "No matter where you go, I will follow you. I like you, so I won't object to any decision you make..."

Lu Yiwen: "Huh? What are you talking about? The wind is too strong and I can't hear you clearly."

Jian She: "..."

Where is the wind.

Although he couldn't see clearly, Lu Yiwen always felt that Jian She's face was going to turn red because of him, so as to prevent the other party from saying something irrational, he quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, I heard it, I heard it. Concentrate on walking , don’t fall for a while.”

Jian She still didn't speak.

Did you really hear that, why are you so perfunctory...

Here, Lu Yiwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's too dangerous, this kid really confesses regardless of time, place and occasion... And he looks very shy, but he can say anything, how can the two of them be alone in this way!

I don't know if it was because of his own thoughts, but Louis Wenqian urged Jian She to walk slowly, but suddenly he slipped his foot and almost fell down with Jian She behind him.
