Since she already knew the mountain path to go back, Xiao Wen called Fire Phoenix back.
But looking at the two of them, haven’t Zhang Song and the others arrived yet?
At this mont, the wind carried the voices of the two talking...
The young man said in a muffled voice, "Fifth Uncle, are we going to get into big trouble this ti?"
The middle-aged man sat in front of the shack by the field on the other side, took out his dry tobacco and smoked it, but didn’t speak for a while.
To avoid drawing their attention, Gu Qiaoqiao and the others headed along the mountain path from the opposite side. Standing on the path, they finally heard the middle-aged man speak under the young man’s urging, "Say nothing more. Whether it’s fortune or misfortune, it’s up to fate. Clearly, our village is destined to be punished. I’ve heard that growing this stuff is punishable by death. It’s all up to whether the village chief elder can escape this disaster."
Then he picked up the dry tobacco pouch again, slamd it hard against the ground, and then raised his eyes to glare at the young man, saying, "I’ve long advised the village chief elder to properly manage those people in our village. The won we buy are supposed to bear children and continue our lineage. Don’t say she’s a person, even if she’s an old cow, we must treat her well with good food and drink.
But look at these families now, following Fool’s Mother’s example, either beating or cursing. When soone dies, they throw the body into the mountains. My mother said that retribution will co sooner or later. Look, now retribution has indeed co..."
The young man curled his lips, "Fifth Uncle, what’s the use of telling these things? I can’t control anyone. Anyway, I won’t spend money to buy a wife. Once these things are sold for money, I’m moving out of our village. What’s the point of staying here? There’s not even electricity. You don’t know how big and good the world outside is. The skyscrapers are tall, cars on the streets one after another, people in the city can even watch television at ho, and the shows are really interesting. Anyway, I won’t stay in this village."
The middle-aged man glanced at the young man and surprisingly had a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, "Let’s not talk about that now. Let’s think about how to get through this crisis now. We don’t know how the Public Security is treating these people. However, they’ve brought so many people and I heard that ard police have surrounded the entrance of the village. If we hadn’t used the secret path, I doubt we’d have made it here."
Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen exchanged glances, their eyes carrying a hint of joy; it turns out Zhang Song and the others have arrived, and now should be conducting house-to-house searches and arrests.
Zhang Song’s consideration was thorough. In such a remote area, without sufficient police force, if these villagers really resisted against a few Public Security officers, the situation would beco very unpredictable.
Isn’t there a saying, the law doesn’t punish the masses? But now it seems Zhang Song was well-prepared, even bringing the ard police.
Xiao Wen winked at Gu Qiaoqiao, and Gu Qiaoqiao understood the signal.
Even though they knew they were invisible, with even their footsteps muffled, they still tried not to make particularly loud noises to avoid alerting anyone. The three quickly disappeared along the mountain path behind the bushes.
Again, they took the sa amount of ti to reach the village entrance, standing on a large rock, looking towards the village, and indeed, the exits were blocked by ard police.
Although Zhang Song had just arrived, he clearly had figured out the situation here, possibly even contacted local leaders for a survey.
Moreover, the information on Gu Qiaoqiao’s docunts was extrely accurate as there weren’t many people here.
The arrangent of residences was not complex; simple and clear.
Gu Qiaoqiao saw Fool’s Mother and her son being taken to the village’s threshing ground, and also saw that poor woman finally being freed from the shackles on her feet.
Then she saw two sets of white bones placed on the threshing ground.
Zhang Song brought quite a few police officers this ti, around ten or more, in groups of three. They worked quickly as it was lunchti and people were resting.
Those supposed to be at ho were at ho, and the village chief followed beside Zhang Song, his face dark as a blackened pot bottom.
Gu Qiaoqiao watched coldly as the village chief’s tightly clenched hand trembled slightly.
She hadn’t expected that good and evil would indeed be repaid.
Just like in the previous life, they were punished again.
But in this life, there’s also a bonus.
This arrest was actually quite difficult.
The terrain here is treacherous; even bicycles can’t co up, let alone cars. Taking these people away truly isn’t easy amidst the mountains and forests.
But Gu Qiaoqiao believed Zhang Song wouldn’t let a single law-breaker escape.
Since they ca, they were fully prepared.
Gradually, the hoowners who bought won and their won were brought in, so of whom were already in their thirties.
Several children had been born.
Thinking carefully, this truly is a despairing situation.
For those like them who’ve encountered such fate, it’s the most painful thing.
Whether young or old, their lives were basically ruined here.
Even if they’re rescued and brought back ho, those with parents who love them can still have hope, but if the parents are gone, who will care for them?
With nothing to their na, exhausted, lacking survival skills, upon returning ho, so might not even have a house.
At this mont, an intense thought suddenly surged within Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart: now that she is capable, she should find a way to help these people, to help these won eager to leave the mountain start a new life?
She knew that doing this wasn’t difficult; many things in this world boil down to needing money to resolve. With money, a lot of troubles are solved.
As long as these people can rely on their own abilities to live self-sufficiently, she believes they will rekindle hope for the future.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand fell at her side, clenching slightly; she was encouraging herself.
After all, she also held data on these won; the matter isn’t urgent, as there’s still a major issue to be addressed at present.
At this ti, the village chief probably realized that the officers had accurate information, hence they planned to catch them all in one go. He just didn’t understand how the officers suddenly acquired such specific information.
Then they suddenly uncovered forbidden hunting rifles and dead bones.
They even brought forensic experts; it’s truly terrifying.
At this mont, the village chief’s gaze gradually turned vicious.
Since things have reached this point, it might as well be that the entire village fights back hard, maybe even drive away these officers, just like in previous years.
Ultimately everything would fade away.
Even though they have guns, he didn’t believe that those people dared to shoot at them, these ordinary folks?
