He lightly flicked the dust off his legs and then turned his gaze to the other educated youth.
"What's going on? Are you all so panicked? Have the Japanese invaded the village again?"
Educated Youth: ...
Why is your mouth still so poisonous?
Meng Tian laughed out loud, walked up to her, handed her a handkerchief, and motioned her to wipe her hands.
"Are you ready for bed?"
"No, I'm cleaning the cicada monkeys. Ma Liang and I caught quite a lot this evening. I'm waiting for you to do it tomorrow."
Speaking of delicious food, Qi Meng came back to her senses from her previous doubts, her saliva almost dripping, and she ran into the house. After a while, her cheers were heard from the house.
Li Fanghua's thoughts unconsciously drifted to the matter of the cicada monkey. It was not until she heard a groan of pain coming from behind that she came to her senses and almost blushed.
"Gu Zhiqing, have you seen Kan Lei Zhiqing today?"
Gu Zuozuo raised his eyebrows. So that was the reason. He shook his head, his expression as confused as possible.
"I didn't see it. What happened to him?"
Li Fanghua frowned, looked at the dark night around him, and spoke with a worried tone.
"He's been missing since this afternoon. It's almost midnight now, and he still hasn't come back. We're worried if something happened to him."
Gu Zuozuo, who knew the whole story, heard this and looked at the sky.
"Have you gone to see the team leader? Have you asked the people who work with him?"
“Found it!”
The team leader's familiar loud voice came from behind the educated youth. Everyone turned around and saw that the team leader was wearing a pair of shorts, an old man's shirt, and was covered in mud and walking quickly towards them.
"Uncle Duan, what's wrong with you?"
"Captain, where are your shoes?"
Before Duan Jianhua could say anything, a male educated youth came running over, panting, holding a flashlight and carrying shoes.
"Captain, your shoes! Whoosh..."
The team leader ran so fast and so hurriedly that he didn't even put on his clothes properly. He ran so fast that his cloth shoes flew off without him stopping.
Duan Jianhua ignored his shoes and looked at the educated youth with sharp eyes.
"What happened to a missing educated youth? Does anyone know where he went?"
If something happens to an educated youth in the village, it is no small matter. If it is reported, he will also be held jointly responsible!
"It's Kan Lei, the educated youth! He hasn't been seen since this afternoon. We thought he went out somewhere and didn't come back, so we didn't take it seriously. Who knew it's almost dawn now, and he still hasn't come back. We're worried that something has happened to him, so we called everyone together to come up with a solution."
The male educated youth who lived in the same dormitory with Kan Lei hurried to explain the situation, fearing that if something really happened, everyone in their dormitory would suffer.
Duan Jianhua's eyebrows were so furrowed that they could pinch a fly to death, and the last two strands of hair on his head swayed and fell off his head.
"try to find!"
As a result, Malutun became completely lively at dawn.
Those who had just finished the most important event in their lives with their wives and were about to go to bed, and were already snoring loudly, were all called off their kangs by the village loudspeakers. They quickly got dressed and went out, still in a bad mood.
Torches were lit one after another, and the educated youth in the educated youth center also took out the flashlights that they usually didn't want to use. Even the four dogs in the village were led out.
"My dog Da Huang used to be an expert at catching rabbits, so finding someone is no big deal for him!"
Ma Liehu patted his chest and made assurances repeatedly.
It can be said that except for the elderly and children, basically everyone who can come out of Malutun has come out tonight.
In Aunt Ma's words, this is even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
When Xiaofang rushed in front of the crowd with disheveled hair and a panicked look, they were just about to disperse to look for her.
"Captain! Did something happen to the educated youth Kan?"
Duan Jianhua glanced at the expression on Xiaofang's face, then looked at her father and brother whose faces changed drastically when they saw her in the crowd, as if he understood something.
For the sake of her reputation, I was just about to pull her aside and ask her quietly, but who knew what the girl would say as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Captain, please go and save him! Something must have happened to him in the mountains! He was there when I saw him this afternoon! Something must have happened to him after I left!"
Duan Jianhua glanced at the silly girl and didn't dare to look back at the father and son who were shivering with anger.
"Tell me clearly, where was the last time you saw him?"
"In the hazelnut forest!"
Once you know where the person is, it will be easier to find him.
Everyone held torches and searched in a fan shape.
"Go home quickly! Don't embarrass yourself here!"
Fang's father looked at his daughter with disappointment and almost had a heart attack from anger.
This silly girl, it would be fine if the person was found and nothing happened, but if something happened, what good would happen to this daughter of mine?
Animals are supposed to be running rampant at night, but tonight they were suddenly chased by someone and jumped around. In a panic, they bumped into people and were tied up by their wings and legs. There will be more meat dishes on the dinner table at home tomorrow.
"Kan Lei! Where are you?"
"Kan Zhiqing! I heard a squeak!"
Along the way, everyone kept their eyes and ears open, afraid that they would overlook someone if they were not paying attention.
"Oh my god! There are worms!"
"Where, where? Did you bite it?"
"Mom! I have some here too!"
"Everyone, be careful! There are insects here! Use bamboo poles to knock them around!"
The further they walked, the more they felt something was wrong. Why were there so many snakes?
"Oh my god! What is this?"
A male educated youth jumped three feet high, his hair standing on end at the thing under his feet, and his hometown accent came out.
A shallow pit covered by vines was densely crawling with unknown snakes and insects.
