Eighty-six missing educated youth

He lightly flicked the dust off his legs before turning his gaze to the other educated youth.

"What's wrong? Why are you all so panicked? Have the Japanese invaded the village again?"

The educated youth: ...

Why is your mouth still so sharp?

Meng Tian chuckled and stepped forward to hand her a handkerchief, gesturing for her to wipe her hands.

Are you getting ready to sleep?

"No, we're cleaning the cicada nymphs. Ma Liang and I caught quite a lot this evening, so we're waiting for you to come and do it tomorrow."

Speaking of delicious food, Qi Meng snapped out of her reverie, her mouth watering. She dashed into the house, and soon her cheers echoed from inside.

Li Fanghua's thoughts unconsciously drifted to the cicada nymph, and she only snapped out of her daze when she heard the painful groan coming from behind her, almost blushing.

"Gu, have you seen Kan Lei, the educated youth, today?"

Gu Zuozuo raised an eyebrow, realizing that was the reason. She shook her head, her expression full of confusion.

"I didn't see him. What happened to him?"

Li Fanghua frowned, looked around at the pitch-black night, and spoke with concern.

"He's been missing since this afternoon, and it's almost noon now, and he still hasn't come back. We're worried that something might have happened to him."

Knowing full well what was going on, Gu Zuozuo also glanced at the sky upon hearing this.

"Did you go to see the team leader? Did you ask the people who worked with him?"

"I've looked!"

The brigade leader's familiar loud voice came from behind the educated youth. Everyone turned around and saw the brigade leader walking briskly over, wearing a pair of shorts and an old man's shirt, covered in mud.

"Uncle Duan, what's wrong with you?"

"Captain, where are your shoes?"

Before Duan Jianhua could say anything, a male educated youth, panting and holding a flashlight, ran over carrying his shoes.

"Captain, your shoes! Whew..."

The captain ran so fast and in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to put on his clothes properly, and his cloth shoes flew off his feet before he stopped.

Duan Jianhua ignored his shoes and looked sharply at the educated youth.

"What happened to the educated youth who went missing? Does anyone know where he went?"

If an educated youth gets into trouble in the village, it's no small matter. If it's reported, he will also bear some responsibility!

“It’s Kan Lei, the educated youth! We haven’t seen him since this afternoon. We thought he had gone somewhere and hadn’t come back, so we didn’t think much of it. But it’s almost midnight and he still hasn’t returned. We were afraid something had happened to him, so we called on everyone to come up with a solution.”

The male educated youth who shared a dormitory with Kan Lei quickly explained the situation, fearing that if something really happened, they, as a group of educated youth, would be in trouble.

Duan Jianhua's eyebrows were so furrowed they could trap a fly, and the last two strands of hair on his head swayed and fell off.

"try to find!"

As a result, Malutun came alive with activity just before dawn.

Just as he and his wife finished their life's important event and were about to go to sleep, snoring loudly, they were all woken up by the village loudspeaker and got up from their beds. They quickly dressed and went out, still grumpy from being woken up.

Torches were lit one after another, and the educated youth in the settlement took out flashlights that they usually wouldn't use. Even the village's four dogs were brought out.

"My dog, Dahuang, used to be a master at catching rabbits, so finding someone is a piece of cake for him!"

Hunter Ma patted his chest and repeatedly assured him.

It's fair to say that, apart from the elderly and children, almost everyone who could come out in Malutun came out tonight.

In Aunt Ma's words, this was even more lively than the Spring Festival.

When Xiao Fang, with her disheveled hair and flustered expression, rushed in front of the group, they were just about to split up to search for her.

"Captain! Has something happened to Kan, the educated youth?"
