Chapter 43 Return
A cicada with half of its wings broken off lay exhausted on a tree fork. The sunlight shone through its translucent thin wings, casting a colorful light. It hid in the bark and lay motionless, its shiny black trunk almost blending into the tree.
The shrill cry attracted the net bag to cover their heads, and the children under the tree burst into joyful shouts.
"Catch it! Catch it!"
She smiled, revealing her white teeth. Her tanned face was covered with beads of sweat, and she even had a black necklace around her neck.
Yang Aiguo walked around the area but didn't see the boy.
He had been hiding from him since that night, and today, he couldn't even find his shadow. Yang Aiguo was filled with anger.
He walked into the yard with great strides, glanced left and right, but saw no trace of the boy.
Zhang Ying came up to us wearing an apron and looking very attentive.
He handed him a wet handkerchief and motioned him to wipe his face.
The tone was gentle and soft, "Haven't you found your daughter yet?"
I wanted to have a good talk with the young man, but now I can't even find him.
"He always has to come back obediently at night." Yang Aiguo took the handkerchief, wiped his face roughly, and said in a muffled voice.
When it was completely dark and no one came back, Yang Aiguo panicked and hurriedly looked for the captain.
"I didn't hit him. Who knows what's wrong with this kid? Captain, don't you think he's gone back to bed?"
Yang Aiguo said anxiously, the tall man was at a loss at the moment.
Yang Kaifu put on his shoes and glared at him. "Why? He didn't leave earlier or later, but chose to run away when you came back. He must have nothing better to do!"
Yang Aiguo stammered, "I was just anxious and said some nonsense..."
"Right and wrong aren't decided by one person. Keep your heart in your stomach. Lian Bei can't go home without a letter of introduction from me."
Yang Aiguo finally felt relieved. If he really let Yang Lian run back to B, who knows what trouble it would cause. How could he and his wife face Old Lady Lu?
Yang Kaifu's wife had already run out to inform every household, and the villagers then lit torches and started looking for Yang Lianye.
Unfortunately, after searching for most of the night, I still didn’t see anyone.
Yang Aiguo had been up all night, his face covered with stubble and he looked haggard. As the sky gradually brightened, his heart sank and he asked uncertainly.
"Captain, you really have never issued a letter of introduction?"
The sound was deep and hoarse.
Hearing this, Yang Kaifu wanted to take off his shoes and throw them at his head, and snorted in annoyance.
Yang Aiguo frowned and said helplessly, "Where on earth did this kid run off to?"
The person is still the same person, more troublesome than before.
If he catches him, he will give him a good beating.
Zheng Mazi ran in breathlessly, holding onto the door frame and gasping for breath, "Captain... Captain, you're back, Yang Lianye is back..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Aiguo ran out.
Zheng Mazi took a deep breath before finishing his words, "He was brought back... for you to claim him!"
Yang Kaifu glanced at him with a complicated expression, and said kindly, "Pockmarked, remember to get to the point next time you speak!"
After saying that, he patted him on the shoulder, leaving Zheng Mazi with a puzzled look on his face.
Yang Aiguo ran to the village entrance and saw the young man leaning against a locust tree in a daze, with two policemen standing beside him, one in front and one behind.
"Yang Lian!!!"
The boy looked back reflexively, his eyes were red and his face looked not much better.
The fat policeman beside him looked Yang Aiguo up and down and asked, "You are..."
"I am his guardian..."
