The mayor led us to a fortune

Chapter 32

Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui looked at each other, and said in unison: "Missing in the mountains? How is that possible?"

Wang Erxi panted and said: "It's true, a large group of us went up the mountain to pick wild lemons this morning. When we were about to go down the mountain at noon, I counted the number of people and found that he was missing. I asked everyone to look for it, but everyone searched several places. There is no sign of him on the top of the mountain."

Qiao Xin: "Don't you go to the mountain to pick wild lemons in the mountain forests that each family gets? Where else can he go to pick them?"

Wang Erxi: "That's right! I've asked people in the mountains and forests near his home, and they all said they were going to call him loudly at noon, but they didn't see him answering. No one knows when he disappeared."

Qiao Xin glanced at Xiao Rui: "Should we call the police?"

Xiao Rui: "Go to his house first to understand the situation."

Wang Erxi brought Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui to Dawa's house. Grandma Ma was drying sweet potato noodles at home. She didn't know Dawa disappeared in the mountains.

Just as Qiao Xin was about to speak, Xiao Rui suddenly tugged at her sleeves, pouted and winked at her.

Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Rui in confusion, so Xiao Rui had no choice but to ask Grandma Ma, "Grandma Ma, can you see if the 1000 yuan poverty alleviation fund that the village chief sent you yesterday is still there?"

Only then did Qiao Xin and Wang Erxi understand Xiao Rui's intentions. He suspected that the eldest child had a drug addiction and stole money to buy drugs.

Grandma Ma looked at Xiao Rui inexplicably and said, "Why isn't it here? I haven't had to go down the mountain to go to the market to buy a dustpan and packaging bags for drying sweet potato flour!"

Qiao Xin quickly said: "Grandma, the eldest child is gone, see if he stole your money to buy drugs outside."

Grandma Ma paused for a moment, then ran back to the room crying loudly: "Oh, you're evil! There's a good chance she's taking drugs again."

Qiao Xin gave Xiao Rui a thumbs up: "You are amazing!"

Just as Xiao Rui was about to say something, Granny Ma rushed out crying, "Hey! I lost a penny."

Wang Erxi who was on the side quickly said: "This time he will go out for at least a week before returning."

Qiao Xin thought for a while and said, "He should have gone out from the mountain around the mountain road. We should be able to stop him by rushing to the side of the road now."

Xiao Rui nodded: "Okay! Let's go right now!

Then he turned around and told Wang Erxi: "You continue to lead everyone up the mountain to pick olives in the afternoon, and try to deliver them tomorrow."

Wang Erxi smiled brightly: "No problem! As long as there is money to be made, they are willing to pick it in the middle of the night."

Qiao Xin comforted Grandma Ma and went down the mountain with Xiao Rui.

Both of them were athletes, trotting all the way down the mountain.

Xiao Rui: "It doesn't take much effort to go down the mountain, but I'm a little scared, worried that I might fall into a ravine."

Qiao Xin quickly passed him and ran ahead: "Just follow me!"

The eldest child was walking on a weedy mountain road with 1000 yuan in his pocket.

He was extremely contradictory, thinking of what the beautiful mayor said, he wanted to turn around and go back several times, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of drugs.

He managed to get to the side of the road, but saw Qiao Xin and Xiao Rui standing there with arms folded and staring at him with half smiles.

Qiao Xin: "Big baby, where do you want to go?"

The eldest baby faltered: "I...I...want...I..."

"Do you want to enter the drug rehabilitation center for the fourth time? You are really capable! The poverty alleviation funds just issued by the government have not been warmed up by your grandma, so you steal them to buy drugs..."

Seeing that Qiao Xin was angry, the eldest child ran away.

Without Xiao Rui making a move, Qiao Xin caught up with him and kicked him to the ground.
