Chapter 38 Just because of This?

"Who is it?"

"Zhou Zhengan, Xia Zhi wants to see you for something."

Zhou Zhengan was sweating all over his forehead. The four female educated youths were missing. This was a big deal.

Their Sixth Brigade was now famous.

He had never been so embarrassed in his life.

More importantly, the female educated youths had not been found yet. If something really happened, it would not only be a matter of losing face, but also a punishment.

But the three teams they had sent out had been searching for a day and a night, and they had not taken a break until now. Everyone was very tired, and the problem was that they could not find anyone.

Zhou Zhengan drove the jeep back, thinking about getting to the educated youths to understand the situation again. The three female educated youths might give some clues.

They left in a hurry yesterday and did not ask clearly. Now the more they thought about it, the more wrong it was. If they continued to rush around like headless flies, it would probably be too late to find everyone.

Xia Zhi hurriedly opened the door.

"Captain, do you want to come in or should I go with you?"

She could guess that Zhou Zhengan must be talking about the four educated youths.

"Come with me to the team headquarters and explain the situation to everyone. We will re-plan and find their route."

The only person Zhou Zhengan could count on now was Xia Zhi, after all, only Xia Zhi and his group went out to work with the four educated youths.

The other educated youths were not called because he thought that he was familiar with Xia Zhi and they could talk freely.

As soon as he finished speaking, he smelled the fragrance coming from the house.

"What delicious food are you cooking?"

Zhou Zhengan said this almost with a smile on his face. Although he knew it was a bit inappropriate to say this, from last night till now, none of them had eaten a single bite of food, and now they were really hungry.

"Oh, I steamed some buns, Captain, you can take a few buns along the way. You must have not eaten anything after searching for a whole day and night."

Xia Zhi was even less likely to be stingy. He turned around and went back to fill two lunch boxes with his lunch box, and stuffed the hot buns directly into Zhou Zhengan's hands.

"Captain, no matter what, you have to eat something. No one can go on like this."

Zhou Zhengan took a hot bun directly from the lunch box and stuffed it into his mouth, eating while walking.

"We also know that it won't work. We have already transferred everyone back and split them up to look for the two teams in rotation, and look for the other team to rest, so that everyone can take turns to rest. We really don't know where to find them."

Zhou Zhengan was also worried.

Maybe he was very hungry, I don't know why the buns today were so delicious.

When he arrived at the team headquarters, all the buns in Zhou Zhengan's lunch box had been eaten.

Xia Zhi was a little regretful. These were two full lunch boxes of buns.

I should have taken the remaining buns in the pot with me.

Anyway, she had already told Liu Zhiyan to steam the remaining flower rolls.

"Captain Zhou, it would be useless for me to go. Zhao Hong and I are not very familiar with each other. We don't live together and we don't even have any intersection with each other."

Xia Zhi felt that he could not really help.

"In fact, we also know that you have only been here for a few days and you must not be familiar with each other. Yesterday, they went to the construction site to work for a day, and left at night after returning. I wonder if something happened at the construction site or something at the construction site aroused their thoughts?

Also, you are all girls. If they leave, which direction do you think they will go?"

Zhou Zhengan had no choice. It had been a day and a night.

He asked Xia Zhi to come here, purely to treat a dead horse as a living horse.

"Nothing happened at the construction site during the day, but some episodes happened during the meal.

The four of them did less work in the morning, so the master gave them less food at lunch, but I saw that they were still very enthusiastic and serious in the afternoon."

Xia Zhi also felt that it would be impossible to run away just because of the problem of eating.

They worked actively in the afternoon, just to have more food for the next meal.

If a person wants to run away, who would be willing to work more? They would probably have to slack off until the afternoon.

"That's strange. Why would they want to run away?"

"They haven't run away for several days, but they run away after just one day of work?"

Zhou Zhengan's biggest headache is that he is facing the questioning of his superiors. Now the phone call has come, and he can't find any reason to explain why they are leaving.

Xia Zhi suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder and suddenly remembered.

"Captain Zhou, maybe they worked too hard in the afternoon, and they got blood blisters on their shoulders like me."

Zhou Zhengan was stunned when he said this.

"But it shouldn't be. I asked someone to send some medicine to you female and male educated youth."

Zhou Zhengan was a little confused. He asked Jiang Yifan to send medicine to them all yesterday.

He treated everyone equally, even though he personally delivered medicine to Xia Zhi, because he had a different relationship with Xia Zhi, and he also wanted to get a meal from Xia Zhi.

But he prepared a portion for each person.

Who made these educated youths more delicate? If they were his subordinates, they would be rough men who would handle their own injuries, and he wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Just run away because of this?"

Zhou Zhengan suddenly felt that maybe he was still too gentle in his attitude towards these educated youths.

These educated youths really pushed their limits.

"Captain Zhou, don't get angry about this. After all, the female educated youth have never done such heavy work.

Like I had so many blisters on my shoulders yesterday, they were the same. When people encounter difficulties, they are easy to feel like retreating.

I guess according to their thinking, they must run to the train station. If your three teams didn't find anyone on this road, I seriously suspect that they might have lost their way last night when it got dark."

Zhou Zhengan nodded,

"I think so too, but I don't know where they got lost."

"This place is too big. Even if we, the district chief who divided the area, send 10,000 or 20,000 people, we may not be able to find it."

Besides, he couldn't send 10,000 or 20,000 people out to look for it. No captain would do such a big job.

Xia Zhi followed Zhou Zhengan into the brigade headquarters. The three captains of the brigade were eating. They had been looking for a day and a night, and they were exhausted.

Seeing Zhou Zhengan stand up, he greeted him and continued to sit down to eat.

The three captains didn't even look at Xia Zhi, and gave him one.

There was even some emotion, mainly because of these female educated youth, which kept them busy until now.

Xia Zhi followed Zhou Zhengan to the map on the wall of the brigade headquarters. This map was the map of the area where their Sixth Brigade was located.

Xia Zhi divided the area on the map according to the impression in his mind.
