I used rebirth to bury his captivating gaze.

Chapter 27 The Hook-Nosed Chicken Fox

The two henchmen searched the east and west rooms of the south wing, but found no place where an outsider was hiding.

Wu Da first ran outside and breathlessly told the women's director, "Director Wang has searched the entire house, but there are no clues."

Xi Qing followed closely behind and said seriously, "Director Wang, I even searched through the women's beds, and I didn't find a single hair."

"There must be something wrong with your eyes. How can you not see a living person that big? You can mistake an old yellow hen for a big red-crested rooster, but can't you see that pregnant woman?"

"Yes, not only are our eyes faulty, but our hearts are also faulty, which is why we see abnormal colors. Wuhan University, I have eye problems, how come yours have eye problems too?"

"Xi Qing, you don't understand me. I was blind."

"Stop staring at me like that, you two. Let's go inside and search again..."

"Okay, Director Wang."

The three people quickly entered the south wing at the same time.

Yang Zhannan followed closely behind!

The three of them first went to the west room. Director Wang then had his two assistants open the cabinet again. The cabinet was empty. The first time they opened it, Yang Yuhan and Yang Yuqiu took out the things that their third uncle had bought for them and put them on the kang, probably because they were afraid that the assistants would damage them.

Director Wang's heart was stirred when he saw these novel items. He really wanted to take one with him before leaving, but Yang Yuhan's face was too cold. She hadn't given him a kind look since she entered the house through the front door.

A second search of the west room yielded no clues. The three of them turned and went to check the small kitchen. Wu Da opened the wooden lid of the large iron pot on the east earthen wall. Director Wang looked inside the pot; it was still warm, as if someone had just eaten.

She gestured, indicating that Wu Da should put the wooden pot lid back on.

She gestured again, and Xi Qing walked to the small well, buried his head under the well behind the kitchen, and looked down at it for a couple of seconds, wishing he could jump down into the well to find someone.

Then Director Wang gave up hope, and the three of them hurried to the east room, as the last line of defense was about to be breached.

The two henchmen opened the black glass cabinet again and found no one tied up inside, only a pile of tattered and patched old clothes.

Yang Yuhan and Yang Yuqiu hurriedly ran into the east room and looked around. They saw Yang Zhannan with a worried look on his face and his eyes staring straight at two large yellow boxes placed on the long earthen bed against the east wall.

Liu Shulan sat on the edge of the heated brick bed, appearing completely unperturbed and relaxed.

Suddenly, Director Wang noticed something strange about Yang Zhannan's eyes, and realized that his two eyeballs looked like they were about to fall out somewhere.

Then she needs to find his line of sight; once she finds his line of sight, she'll definitely be able to find the woman she can find.

She drew a straight line in the air with her own eyes, but the line broke in the middle.

She tried the same method again, but still couldn't find any clues in the line of sight!

Yang Yuhan suddenly felt that Yang Zhannan's eyeliner at this moment was just like the mysterious color of the big eyes of that handsome boy in her middle school days in her previous life!

Director Wang pondered for a moment, then smiled to herself! She praised herself in her mind, "You're so clever!"

Then, following her own train of thought, she gave instructions: "You two go outside and find me a stick. One might not be long enough, but two or three will do. Find one quickly and bring it over."

"What is the director doing with the wooden stick?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go find it."

"You big guy, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and go."

"You should go look for it too."

"Yes, I thought I'd have Big Guy look for it? I'll go."

"Short guys are smart, they just want to cheat and be cunning." Xi Qing finished speaking and walked out.

The two henchmen walked out one after the other.

"Big guy, you're acting up again, calling me short. Do you believe I'll scare you with chickens and foxes again?"

"Then try it. Do you think I'm still intimidated by you?"

"Stop dawdling, hurry up and go find it..." Director Wang followed them out. She saw two long elm branches standing against the wall behind the well.

She looked at the two elm branches with satisfaction, then said to the two followers walking out of the door, "Come back, aren't there ready-made branches? Why did you have to go outside to look for them?"

"The director said he was using chickens and foxes to scare me."

"Big guy, don't go around telling lies. Where am I supposed to find chickens and foxes?"

"You're not the miserly rooster on the roof next door who turned into a fox, and you're still spouting nonsense about being Old Wang's big rooster that Old Wang ate, and you still hate Old Wang?"

“You believe everything I say. Would you believe me if I told you that Old Wang’s rooster was eaten by a woman with a hooked nose? Besides, would my master Old Wang eat me? He still expects me to guard the door and crow for him.”

"What are you crowing for? You're a dead rooster, what are you crowing for? You can't even breathe properly."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. In the middle of the night, instead of looking for a pregnant woman, you're talking about roosters, hens, and foxes. Where are the foxes?"

Director Wang was fiddling with two tree branches, not paying attention to what they were saying. Then Director Wang shouted and hurriedly ran into the east room of the south wing, and then turned back to tell them to take the two tree branches to the east room.

"Where are the chickens and foxes, Director Wang?" Wu Da called out as he turned around and ran to the east room.

The big guy didn't dare turn around to look at the fox; he took a step and ran to the director's side.

"Your grandma didn't even bring a tree branch in?" the director shouted!

The two lackeys dared not look up outside again, and went to the kitchen to retrieve the items.

Upon hearing this, Yu Han ran straight to the kitchen door and looked towards the roof of the west courtyard. Sure enough, there was...

A moment later, the chicken-fox vanished...

Yu Han asked the three of them, "Did any of you see chickens or foxes outside just now?"

The two henchmen shook their heads, and the female director also shook her head!

"You'd be lucky to see chickens or foxes!" Yu Han thought to herself.

"It was all made up by the short guy to scare you and get back at me for calling him short.

"Why are you yelling like that when you can't see anything?"

"Director Wang, you called first, and then we followed suit."

"You just echo my commands?"

"That's because the rooster sings and the rooster follows."

"Get lost, do you think we're all chickens?"

"I'm sorry, Director Wang, I misspoke."

The big guy curled his lip at him, "You're a prostitute yourself, yet you call everyone else prostitutes too, what a piece of trash."

Soon, all the incandescent lights in the four rooms of the entire courtyard were turned on!

It was around 2 a.m.

A few adults from the family stood at the door of the south wing, watching their family's unexpected little drama unfold, while the others remained in their rooms to sleep.

Director Wang was directing his two assistants in their work. Each of them held a long branch, and then they joined the two branches together, aligning them perfectly with Yang Zhannan's line of sight. This created a straight, radiating line that stretched all the way to the center of the pair of yellow boxes.

The Yang family members, who were watching the spectacle, didn't understand the three's unusual behavior and could only laugh. Yang Zhanbei, who had traveled all over the country, had never seen anything so absurd. This strange and unbelievable event was happening right before his eyes. Suddenly, he took a step forward, wanting to remove the two long branches, but Yang Yuhan, who was watching with great interest, quickly grabbed one of his arms and stopped him!

Director Wang smiled. She had finally put in a lot of effort and finally figured out the mystery of the man's blank stare!

Yang Yuhan was stunned by what she saw. It was as if this woman's actions were deliberately staged for her. She just happened to be wondering how to decipher the look in that boy's eyes from her past life!

It is said that Director Wang once had a secret crush on Yang Zhannan, but Yang Zhannan was unaware of this. He only knew that when he was young, working in the same production team, he had given her a beautiful look and a fleeting glance. Later, that look was replaced by his current wife, and that initial look disappeared...

Director Wang gave his two henchmen a look, and the two henchmen immediately threw away the long branches they were holding and stepped in front of the yellow box.

Yang Zhannan regained consciousness, his straight eyes were restored, and he jumped in front of the two yellow boxes, shoving his two lackeys aside.

His two henchmen immediately objected, each grabbing one of his arms; it looked like a fight was about to break out.

Yang Zhanbei was no pushover either. He immediately rushed forward and grabbed the two men's arms, forcing them to quickly release Yang Zhannan's arms.

Then Yang Zhannan and Yang Zhanbei each grabbed one of their arms and twisted them backward forcefully.

"Ouch, that hurts! Grandpa, I was wrong, let go!" Wu Da shouted in a foul tone!

Xi Qing gritted his teeth and remained silent!

Just then, Yang Hong rushed into the east wing, a short pipe dangling from his mouth, puffing out smoke and cursing, "Director Wang, why aren't you resting at home in the middle of the night? What are you doing barging into our Yang family compound with two lads?"

Director Wang immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "Grandpa Yang, I'm so sorry to bother you so late. When I first entered the courtyard, I saw that the lights in your house were off, so I didn't greet you! I'm from the county family planning office. We found a suspicious person running into this courtyard, so I came in without permission."

"Director Wang, have you found your suspicious target in my yard?"

"Reporting to Mr. Yang, it has not been found yet, but we are continuing our search."

With a "pfft!" sound, the old man who had been standing at the door with a stern face was suddenly amused by her and had no words to respond.

Yang Yuhan interrupted, "Grandpa, please sit down first, don't tire yourself out. Grandpa, does Director Wang mean you should continue letting them search?"

"Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei, release those two and let them search us. We've done nothing wrong, so why should we be afraid of them searching us?"

Yu Han curled her lips into a smile.

"Dad, we can't let them search. How can we eat the freshly ground corn grits in the yellow box if they get dirty?" Yang Zhannan said, releasing his two henchmen.

The two henchmen shook their arms. "It really hurts."

Yang Hong said, "The two big yellow boxes are not empty. Where would they put corn grits?"

Yang Hong continued, "We haven't had time to grind the corn grits at the rice mill yet. These past few days, we've been busy either slaughtering pigs to prepare for the New Year or dealing with Yuqiu's wedding. Do you think I know everything while hiding in the east wing?"

"I saw several children hidden inside these two large yellow wooden boxes by Yu Han and Yu Qiu. What do you know while you were still sleeping?" Of course, Yang Zhannan was thinking to himself at that moment...
