No words for two days.
In the first month of the lunar year, on the night of New Year's Eve, the whole city of Longcheng was filled with a festive atmosphere. The sound of firecrackers began to blast throughout the city from around 1:00 p.m. and continued until late at night.
At around eight o'clock, the Su family set up a buffet in the courtyard, and the whole family gathered together, some watching the New Year's Eve program hosted by the local Chinese TV station, some playing cards and chatting in groups of three or five.
Su Tianyu accompanied his second uncle to drink some wine, eat some dumplings, and chat until around nine o'clock in the evening. The latter felt a little tired and went back to the house to rest.
In the courtyard, the third sister Su Miaomiao waved her hand like a little girl and said, "Come on, Gou Liuzi, let's go out and set off the fireworks!"
"You guys go ahead. I'm a little drunk." Su Tianyu waved his hand in a bad mood.
"Hey, it's New Year's Day, let's have fun together and stop sitting here thinking about An Qiqi. If you love her, be brave and go and seduce her." Su Miaomiao walked over, forcibly pulled up Su Tianyu, as well as the lazier eldest and second brothers, and then took a group of children to the outside of the yard.
This year, my uncle prepared a lot of New Year's goods, including four large paper boxes of fireworks and firecrackers. A group of young men in their twenties, along with a group of children, happily arranged the fireworks and firecrackers in a row at the door.
Su Tianyu stood at the door, lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
"Why do you look a little unhappy today?" Su Tiannan asked casually.
"Haha, I'm not unhappy." Su Tianyu, under the influence of alcohol, replied softly: "I just thought of Daxiong, on New Year's Eve, ah...!"
"What do you want him to do?" Zhang Hao interjected, "His family doesn't care about him. We have no relationship with him, so how can we help? Alas, this is fate. It's New Year's Day, we don't need to worry about others."
Su Tianyu nodded slowly and said nothing more.
“Sizzle!”
Not far away, Su Tianbei, under the influence of alcohol, lit up four or five sets of fireworks boxes in one round, and dragged his third sister to watch from a distance.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…!”
The brilliant fireworks rose into the sky, shining brightly in the darkness and emitting light.
"The fireworks we bought this year are beautiful!" Su Miaomiao stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the fireworks exploding in the sky, and said happily: "Next year, we will work hard and try to rent an island for our family to celebrate the New Year."
When everyone looked up at the bright sky, Daxiong appeared alone in the alley at the intersection. He was dirty, with his hands in his pockets, staring at the third sister, with a smile on his face.
After the fireworks were exhausted, the Su family returned to the yard, talking and laughing. Daxiong withdrew his gaze from Su Tianyu, wiped his cheek with his wrist, faced the darkness alone, and slowly disappeared.
…
The next morning was New Year’s Day.
Su Tianyu, Su Tiannan and Su Tianbei drove their family's small truck, loaded with various gifts, and started visiting relatives and friends.
Everyone first went to the homes of Yu Mingyuan and Wang Daolin, then went to the homes of some of the Su family's connections in the management committee and the circle, and finally came to the Bai family.
"Uncle Bai, Happy New Year!"
Su Tianyu and the other two walked into the Bai family compound carrying gifts and greeted Bai Dabiao.
"Haha, that's great!" Bai Dabiao stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, and was quite happy to see the Su family: "Hey, did Old Su ask you to come over?"
"Yes, my father said that it's the New Year, so he asked us younger generations to come and see you." Su Tiannan walked forward with a gift.
"Come on, sit inside." Bai Dabiao called out.
Everyone walked into the house, and Bai Hongbo asked Su Tianyu: "I heard that Daxiong didn't go home. Where do you think he could have gone?"
"I don't know." Su Tianyu shook his head.
"Hey, this kid is a bit fierce." Bai Hongbo, who always had a bad mouth, was actually thinking about that fool: "You said he wouldn't be sentenced too heavily, why would he run away? Now that he's caught, he'll definitely have to increase his sentence."
"Yes."
"Damn it, it's hard for good people to survive!" Bai Hongbo couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Su Tianyu and Bai Hongbo didn't quite understand why Daxiong wanted to escape from prison, because no one could stand in Daxiong's shoes and feel what he had experienced.
In the hall of the Bai family, Mr. Bai sat on a chair and greeted them generously: "We have guests at home. Prepare the meal and have some drinks later."
"No, Uncle Bai, we have to go to the Kong family later." Su Tiannan declined.
"Oh, there are still so many days in the first month of the lunar year, why don't we go any day?" Bai Dabiao said without question: "If you come to visit, you must eat at home!"
Although Bai Dabiao is a man with a sharp tongue and a bad temper, and often curses and insults at Su Zhengcai, his personality is still relatively warm and authentic.
…
Three days.
Daxiong has been on the run for three days. During this period, his life must have been difficult, but Tang Baiqing and Lao Yang are obviously in a more difficult situation than him.
It was around six in the evening.
Near Tongjiang Street in Zhannan District, Lao Yang, in plain clothes, stood with four police officers next to a garbage dump and said to a worker on duty at a construction site, "You have surveillance cameras around this construction site, right?"
"We have both. There are security guards at the front and back doors, as well as wolfhounds. Don't worry, officer. Although we are on holiday here, if anyone really sneaks in, we will definitely find them. The management here is very formal." The staff on duty replied politely.
Lao Yang handed over Nobita's photo and said, "Take another look at this person. If you find this person, notify us immediately."
"Don't worry, if we find him, we will definitely call the police." The other person looked at the photo and nodded: "I will remember him."
"Okay, that's it."
After saying that, Lao Yang led his men away.
"Brother Yang, it's the Chinese New Year now, and all the police units in various regions are on holiday. Even if we issue a joint investigation notice, no one will go out on the street to search for the fugitive for you." A police officer followed behind Old Yang and said, "This guy won't go home. Where do you think he is hiding? Or maybe he has simply left the city. Where can we catch him?"
"Every checkpoint has been warned. If he dares to run out, he will most likely be caught." Old Yang said as he walked, "This man is mentally retarded and has no experience in counter-reconnaissance. Most importantly, he has no money and no friends. It is very difficult for him to escape. I think he should be in a place in Zhannan District that he is familiar with. He won't go far."
"That's possible." The police officer agreed.
"Let's go back first. I'll go find Tang Baiqing." Old Yang replied tiredly and got into the car.
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Just then, the phone rang.
…
Liang Feng’s home in the living village outside the district.
"Brother Hei, yes, the one who came to me was a childhood friend. We grew up together and he's very reliable." Liang Feng whispered, "Yes, the kidnapping job in District 5, I think the price is quite high, and the situation in the Old Triangle is also quite chaotic, so it's easy for us to get away. Yes, but time is a bit tight, if we take it, we have to leave on the fifth day of the New Year."
On the phone, the man was silent for a long time and then asked: "Where are you?"
"I'm home. What's wrong, Heige?"
"At home?" The man suddenly said, "Take a family photo for me."
Liang Feng was stunned.
