Chapter 091 Chapter 91 Night Search

As the sky gradually darkened, Lin Yue and Zhang Yuandong returned to the village. Several naughty children were running around in the street with long snot. A dark and strong little boy bumped into Zhang Yuandong. When he saw who it was, he jumped up in shock and shouted, "It's that soldier! The soldier is back!"

When the group of children heard this, they all ran away, hid in the street corners, and stretched their heads to look over here secretly.

Zhang Yuandong was a little confused, pointed at himself, and asked doubtfully: "Are they so afraid of me?"

Lin Yue smiled and shook his head: "No, they admire you. But they spread too much about you, uh... you are so amazing, they are a little afraid to get close to you."

Seeing Zhang Yuandong looking at him strangely, Lin Yue suppressed his laughter and continued, "It's just... they said you can fly like Sun Wukong, so you can save people in the flood. They also said you have a gun hidden on you, and you can shoot the Japanese soldiers and they will be knocked down. And the adults in the village said that you are a secret missions, belonging to a mysterious organization, and only the chairman can command you."

Zhang Yuandong opened his mouth in disbelief and said helplessly: "Don't be kidding!"

Lin Yue knew that he would not believe it, so he said with a smile: "No kidding! If you don't believe it, you can wait and see tomorrow. The news of your return will soon spread throughout the village, and tomorrow the captain and his men will definitely come to your house to ask you the purpose of your return this time."

Zhang Yuandong raised his head helplessly, but then he saw Lin Yue took out two more paintings and said with a smile: "If you still don't believe it, just take a look at what your son has painted!"

In the dim light of the evening, Zhang Yuandong saw the painting clearly. On the yellowed drawing paper, the child had scribbled a few ink balls. Zhang Yuandong looked carefully and could barely make out that they were several human figures. The tallest one should be him, the slightly shorter and thinner one was Lin Yue, and the two black ink balls next to him should be Xiao Wanli and Xiao Lingling.

But the key point is that the other three ink balls are normal ink balls with long arms and legs, only his ball is something he really can't understand.

Lin Yue pointed his finger at the two thin lines that served as "arms" and kindly explained to him: "Look, this is your body, and this is a pair of wings that allow you to fly. One of your hands holds a golden hoop stick, and the other holds a gun."

Zhang Yuandong looked at her suspiciously: "Didn't Wanli just draw this today? Can you tell?"

"Yes, guess how I know how those kids described you? It was them who told me. Wanli said at the time that you must have wings like a bird so that you can fly. And with a golden cudgel in your left hand and a gun in your right hand, you can defeat any number of Japanese invaders!" After saying that, Lin Yue couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two of them were almost at the door of their home without realizing it. Zhang Yuandong smiled and said, "You are kidding me, right? Wait!" He looked around and saw that there was no one around. The group of children behind him didn't catch up either. He picked up Lin Yue and walked quickly into the house.

Lin Yue cried out in surprise, hammered him hard twice, and buried his face like a thief.

It was completely dark and the moon was hanging high in the sky. Lin Yue leaned on Zhang Yuandong and the two of them chatted casually. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Both of them were startled. The knocks on the door were as urgent as a life-threatening call. Lin Yue hurriedly put on his clothes and urged Zhang Yuandong, "Hurry up!"

Zhang Yuandong finally had a moment of tenderness, and was disturbed at this moment. He felt very reluctant, but he still obediently put on his clothes and went out to see what was going on.

As soon as the door was opened, two people rushed in. They were Auntie Wang San and Zhang Shouxin and his mother. As soon as they entered the door, they asked loudly, "Where is my daughter-in-law? Where did you hide her?"

When they saw that it was Zhang Yuandong who opened the door, they both suddenly became hoarse and could not utter another word.

After the family's lucky money tree was captured, Auntie Wang and Lin Yue's family became enemies. They didn't go out of their way to find trouble with Lin Yue, but were shocked by the debt collection operation.

Lin Yue ran out of the house in a panic and asked back, "What happened to Sister-in-law Jianhua?"

When Auntie Wang San saw Lin Yue coming out, she slapped her thigh and started crying: "Oh, I won't live any longer! I was a good girl, but you guys just arrested me and said I had committed a crime, but you didn't tell me what I had done. Now my daughter-in-law is gone, and she's still pregnant with our child!"

Lin Yue didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so he stopped her with a sharp voice: "That's enough! You can't find the person, and you still have the time to mess around with me! She is in her advanced period, and it's late at night, why don't you go find someone quickly!"

"You must have hidden her! Her parents' home is far away, so how could she go anywhere else! Didn't she often come to your house before? She must have come this time too! She was afraid that the witch would tell her the gender of the boy, so she ran to your house and hid!"

Lin Yue was shocked: "You've called a fortune teller? Pregnancy is so dangerous, aren't you afraid of something bad happening by calling a fortune teller to torture her?"

She still remembered that when Xiao Wanli and Xiao Lingling were just born, she stuffed both children into Liu Jianhua's arms and said, "Having a son and a daughter is a blessing!" But now, just because of those words Zhang Xiaohui said before she left, she was like a possessed person, tormenting Liu Jianhua's belly in all kinds of ways, as if this baby was really a girl, and Liu Jianhua would never be able to give birth to a boy in his life.

Lin Yue shouted at Zhang Yuandong, "Don't worry about them for now. Go find the public security team. Finding the people first is the most important thing!" Seeing that Auntie Wang San and Zhang Shouxin were still guarding the door and refused to move, he said angrily, "What's the point of you making trouble in my house? How could she be in my house? Didn't you forbid her to come?"

The two looked at each other and felt that what Lin Yue said didn't seem false, so they became really anxious and ran out of the door in a hurry, shouting Liu Jianhua's name and asking from house to house.

People living nearby heard the noise and sent out their best workers to help look for the man.

With so many people's help, everyone found Liu Jianhua very quickly. When they found her, she was on her way back to her parents' home. It was late at night, and she was pregnant, so no one dared to let her go, and they all escorted her back to her husband's home.

Lin Yue met this group of people on the way, she quickly ran over to support him and asked in a low voice about the situation. When Liu Jianhua saw Lin Yue, tears fell uncontrollably, and she didn't say a complete sentence until she arrived at the door of her house.

When they pushed the door open, they found her father-in-law and brother-in-law sitting cross-legged on the kang, chatting animatedly with a woman in her forties in the room, with melon seed shells scattered all over the floor.

As soon as everyone entered the room, the two men's faces immediately fell. Zhang Shoucheng said in a sinister tone: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Why did you bring so many people here? We are all family, who can harm you?"

The woman jumped up, her tone clearly unhappy: "Brother Zhang, I told your wife clearly before that what I do is not suitable for others to see. You have brought so many people here, this business can't be done!"

Lin Yue knew this woman. She was a famous fortune teller in the area. She was said to be able to "invite the gods to possess you." Because of the severe crackdown on feudal superstition in recent years, she did it secretly, but everyone knew about her deeds.

For example, she said a nice girl was possessed by a ghost, and she splattered black blood and burned her with fire. In the end, the girl's legs were severely burned and she was almost disfigured.

There was also a case of changing the gender of a pregnant woman's baby, performing rituals and pressing her belly, which ultimately caused the pregnant woman to give birth prematurely. The pregnant woman died, but the baby turned out to be a boy. Because of this, the pregnant woman's family not only did not hold her responsible, but she became famous in the surrounding villages. Aunt Wang San invited her here, probably for the same reason.

Lin Yue scolded, "What kind of business is this? You are a good person, but you do such immoral things. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

The middle-aged woman couldn't take it anymore, and she put her hands on her waist and cursed: "You little wife, why are you talking so harshly? What have I done wrong? Do you think I want to come here? It's their family who insisted on inviting me here. It's so far away, and it's at night. Do you think I am happy? So many families are lining up to invite me!"

Lin Yue sneered. It makes sense for the government to crack down on these feudal superstitions. Otherwise, who knows how many people would be killed. Seeing that the "fortune-maker" had no intention of leaving, she made way for him and said, "Why, why don't you hurry up? You are so powerful, but you didn't tell your fortune before you came here to see if you will be imprisoned today?"

The middle-aged woman turned around angrily, pointed at Zhang Zhiye on the kang and cursed: "You old bastard, you are teaming up to cheat me!"

Zhang Zhiye was like most men in the village. He could talk a lot, but when things really got into trouble, he would become speechless. He waved his hands vigorously and denied things repeatedly: "No, no, no..."

Auntie Wang San's voice came from the crowd. She squeezed out of the crowd and cursed, "You little bastard, I used to think you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be such a jerk. You came to my house to cause trouble, right? Witch Liu is my guest. She came to my house to have fun. What are you accusing me of?"

"Witch Liu" quickly followed up, "That's right, I just came to visit. Who says I can't come to visit your village? Humph! Auntie, since you still have things to do at home, I won't be a bother here anymore. I'll leave first, leave first!" As she said that, she wanted to squeeze out.

Lin Yue was still holding Liu Jianhua, and was afraid that a conflict at this time would hurt the baby in Liu Jianhua's belly, so he stepped aside to make way for her. "Witch Liu" walked to the side of Lin Yue, rolled her eyes deeply, and walked away with a twisted waist.

When the group saw "Witch Liu" leave, they thought that the matter was almost over, so they said goodbye and left after giving a few instructions.

Auntie Wang San pinched her waist and scolded angrily: "Why are you still here? Do you think my house is not messy enough?"

It was indeed very late, and Lin Yue didn't want to argue with her any further. He took Liu Jianhua's hand, told her to have a good rest, and was about to leave.

Liu Jianhua grabbed Lin Yue's hand and said firmly to her parents-in-law and her husband: "I want a divorce!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over, including the group of people who were already walking out, who turned back in shock to look over here.
