Rebirth of the times, a top-level boss joins the national team

Chapter 304 Night Inspection of the Populus euphratica Forest

"What did your family do before?"

Jin Ji was stunned. He didn't expect Tu Shan to ask this. He hesitated and didn't want to say it.

Okay, Tu Shan is not a person without vision.

"I'll borrow your stove."

Jinji nodded quickly.

Not long after, Ling Yang brought back two old hens and stewed a pot of chicken soup.

They brought food with them, and before entering the town, Tu Shan even induced labor once.

There was enough food, so I cooked a big pot of rice and didn't take out the inappropriate fruits.

Jinji's family is not small and their conditions seem to be pretty good, but it's not the case that they eat meat in big mouthfuls and cook rice in huge pots.

The aroma of food filled the yard, and the boy was drooling with greed.

But this belonged to a guest, and he was too embarrassed to touch it, so he hid back in the house.

Tu Shan was also quite greedy. She cooked porridge with dried meat every day and drank so much that she became stupid.

"It's a pity we didn't get any rabbit. It would have been delicious with potatoes. I haven't had any in ages."

Ling Yang looked at her and smiled: "I'll cook for you when we get back."

Tu Shan looked at him. He had cooked before, but the food was just average.

"No, I'll cook for myself." They got divorced when they got home, so there was no way they could eat the food he cooked.

Ling Yang...

"I'm cooking very well now." In the past, the little girl always disliked his cooking. After she got married, he always regretted that he had never cooked a good meal for her.

I felt bad, so I unconsciously started practicing my cooking skills, and I have indeed improved a lot.

Tu Shan was silent for a moment: "Really? Then you can make it for your sister-in-law in the future."

"Bang..." The old porcelain bowl shattered into pieces.

Tu Shan bared her teeth and said, "It's all over. This is the host's bowl."

"Look at you, how come you've become so clumsy? There are only a few bowls at home, and you can't even buy them here. What if they break?

Look at how old this bowl is, maybe it's an antique. What a waste of such a valuable resource."

Tu Shan squatted in front of the broken bowl, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

Ling Yang...So, she only cares about the bowl and not him, right?

He can call his missing sister-in-law so skillfully. Has he forgotten who his wife is?

Feeling helpless, he finally said, "I will compensate you."

Tu Shan tutted, "Just watch over here. I'll go check on the cubs."

Tu Shan hid. For some reason, she couldn't catch Ling Yang's gaze.

Everyone had a very satisfying dinner. Jinji was also pulled to the table to eat. He said sorry, but he didn't hesitate with his chopsticks. For some reason, the rice tasted particularly good. Could it be because he could only afford to eat whole grain rice since he was a child?

Tu Shan was also very satisfied with the meal and praised it silently, saying that it was indeed better than what he had made before. He did have some talent in cooking.

The little cub fell asleep right after eating, and his little body was hurt. He became very fragile, easily tired, prone to indigestion, and prone to catching colds.

I have been on the road for several days. I have not eaten well or slept well. I always feel listless and cannot sleep well.

I had a good meal today and the kang was warm. I felt sleepy after eating and slept soundly.

The dark little face looked rosy after sleeping, which made it look a little better.

Tu Shan went to check whether Bian Fan was dead or not, confirmed that he was still breathing, gave him a few sips of hot water, and left him in the corner.

Until now, Jinji didn't know that there was another person in his yard.

At night, Tu Shan and the three kids sleep together, while Ling Yang and Jin Ji sleep together.

In the middle of the night, Tu Shan covered the little boy with a blanket and opened the door to go out.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yang was waiting in the yard early.

"What are you doing?" Tu Shan asked.

Ling Yang looked at her: "I will do whatever you do."

Tu Shan pouted. She was busy with her work and didn't want to cause any trouble.

Ling Yang was touched by her expression. He is still very useful, okay?

"I know you want to investigate the child's disappearance, but there are no files here, no reference materials, so you have no idea where to start.

But when I went to buy the chickens, I made some inquiries and found out that the four children were lost while their families were out playing in the poplar forest outside the town.

Tu Shan looked at him. How did he know that she was going to investigate this matter and inquire about the news so early?

Or does he also want to investigate?

Yes, Captain Ling is upright and resolute, how could he ignore such a thing?

"Then let's go to the Populus euphratica forest and take a look."

Ling Yang followed Tu Shan without saying anything, and Tu Shan no longer looked down on Ling Yang for being weak.

There is a large poplar forest outside the town, and the town is built on this poplar forest.

People in the town come here to collect firewood, and pass by here on their way to work in the fields, so it is very safe here.

Almost all the children in the town come here to play, and no one would ever think that a child would disappear here.

Ling Yang: "People come here every day, so there won't be any clues left."

Tu Shan: "I know. Hey, look, if the thief stole the child, where might he run to?" she asked, pointing to the terrain around the Populus euphratica forest.

Ling Yang looked around. They came in through another entrance of the town and did not pass through here. Even though the light was not good now, they could still get a general idea.

“Behind us is the town, filled with familiar people, and in front of us is farmland, with people coming and going. If someone kidnapped a child, they wouldn’t go through these two sides.

Then you can only go left or right.

To the left is the desert, stretching for miles with no adjacent towns.

I heard that the right side is the Gobi Desert, which has many dangerous rapids, uneven terrain, and a harsh environment. Few people can enter or exit safely. But if you cross the Gobi Desert, you can reach another small town, which is more than one-third closer than the official road.

Tu Shan tilted her head and looked at him: "Is there a child missing in another town?"

Ling Yang shook his head: "No, but there are children in their town who are lost while visiting relatives in other places."

Tu Shan???

Ling Yang: "It means that a child was lost, but not at their doorstep."

Tu Shan...are you playing?

"How many are missing?"

"Both of them were lost when they went out with their parents and were never found. Everyone just thought it was an accident and didn't think much of it, nor did they connect it with the other missing children here.

However, the two towns are far apart, and no one visits each other for business, so a lot of information is not communicated and is delayed."

Tu Shan looked at Ling Yang seriously: "No, you only bought a chicken, how do you know so much?"

Ling Yang smiled: "So, I'm still useful, right?"

His dark eyes fell on Tu Shan's face, with a special deep meaning.

Tu Shan looked away and said, "Let's go to the Gobi Desert and take a look."

Tu Shan dragged Ling Yang through the Gobi Desert, which was full of rugged rocks and steep cliffs, without even a normal road.

Fortunately, Tu Shan could "fly over the eaves and walk on the walls", otherwise the two of them would have to go home on the spot.

But they didn't walk too far. Even Tu Shan found it difficult to walk on such a road, let alone ordinary people.

It would be unrealistic for human traffickers to bring children this way.

As for the secret passage, Tu Shan also checked it out, but found none.

"It should be heading towards the desert."

Ling Yang: "People in the town facing the desert have also checked and found nothing unusual. Besides, there are no roads in the desert that can lead to other towns."

Tu Shan didn't believe it: "That's someone else. I have to see it myself to know."

Okay, Ling Yang accompanied him on another walk through the desert.

I don’t know when the snow stopped, but in the vast desert, there was a full moon hanging high in the sky, big and round, just on the edge of the desert.

"It's so beautiful." The moment Tu Shan looked up, she saw this scenery, and she was inexplicably touched. She felt a sense of grandeur and warmth.

She seemed to have never seen such a beautiful scenery.

Ling Yang turned to look at her, her bangs parted, revealing her fair little face underneath.

The silvery moonlight shines on the little face, as if it is covered with a layer of halo, which is really beautiful.
