When Qin Qingman woke up, not only had she traveled back to the resource-scarce 1970s, but she also found herself with nothing.
The wooden house was drafty, and outside was a frozen wasteland...
All of Silang's tolerance for Qin Qingman was based on the premise that Qin Qingman was useful and could help them escape from China. If not, he didn't mind destroying Qin Qingman himself.
So Shilang's strangulation was real, and the control was very tight.
With her neck controlled, Qin Qingman instinctively placed her hands between her neck and Silang's arms, trying to buy herself some space to breathe.
Silang tolerated Qin Qingman's instinctive resistance.
"Comrade, you have cooperated very well before, please cooperate well next time. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, I promise not to hurt you." Silang comforted Qin Qingman.
"I hope you keep your word."
Qin Qingman answered through gritted teeth.
"I'll definitely keep my word, but you have to cooperate. If you don't, don't blame me for being ruthless." Silang also said the threatening words. He hoped that Qin Qingman could see the situation clearly and not make a fearless sacrifice.
Qin Qingman said nothing more.
"Listen, people inside. We have already delivered the cars and dry food you requested. You can arrange for someone to come and check." Ding Xiangshan's voice was heard from outside in time, and at this time a stronger light appeared outside the house.
It's the light from the jeep's headlights.
This light is brighter than that of fire and oil lamps, and it makes Qin Lei's yard brighter.
Wei Ling did not show up.
It was Ding Xiangshan who negotiated with the criminals before, so the next negotiation will still be handled by Ding Xiangshan, which will make the criminals feel more at ease.
"Sanlang, go check the vehicle."
Shiro ordered Saburo.
"Yes." Sanlang dragged Qin Jianming in front of him, then walked out the door.
He put his gun against Qin Jianming's forehead, and looked outside the courtyard cautiously and fiercely with one eye, "Drive the car in."
The jeep was parked outside the gate of the courtyard, and it was impossible for Saburo to go to such a dangerous place outside the gate to check.
"Can."
Ding Xiangshan stood in the middle of the crowd and made way.
The jeep slowly drove into the yard and finally stopped in the middle of the yard. This position was neither too far nor too close. If the criminals wanted to check, they would have to take the initiative to walk a few meters forward, otherwise they would not be able to see the situation inside the car clearly.
"Drive the car over here." Sanlang put the muzzle of the gun against Qin Jianming's forehead.
Because of the great force used, Qin Jianming's neck was tilted.
At this time, Qin Jianming was so frightened that his legs were shaking. Although he was older than Qin Jianjun, with a gun pointed at his head, he still couldn't stay as calm as Qin Qingman. He couldn't help but let out sobbing sounds from his blocked mouth.
Qin Jianming was frightened and cried.
He is afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die.
"We have already given you the car as requested, but the hostage is still in your hands. Unless you agree to release another hostage, our car can only stay here." The driver spoke at this time.
Saburo glared at the driver angrily with one eye.
If the gun in his hand had not been pointed at the hostage, he would have definitely pointed the gun at the driver who disobeyed orders.
"Sanlang, go check the car. I'll watch over it for you."
Shiro's voice came from behind him at the right time, indirectly refusing the possibility of releasing another hostage.
There are three of them here, and there are also exactly three hostages. For now, the more hostages they have, the safer they will be. Otherwise, he is very worried that the Chinese soldiers would rather die than surrender.
Moreover, Zhu Hongxia and Qin Jianming are also hostages to check and balance Qin Qingman.
"yes."
After receiving Silang's order, Sanlang immediately responded in a low voice, and then yelled at the driver in the jeep: "Get out." There were Chinese soldiers in the car and he was worried about checking it.
The driver was also very decisive. He opened the car door, got out and left the yard.
Sanlang held Qin Jianming tightly the whole time, and the muzzle of the gun never left Qin Jianming, because he knew that there were countless guns pointed at him, and if he relaxed a little, he would be the one to die.
"Sanlang, you can't be careless."
Silang suddenly reminded Saburo that he was worried that Saburo, who only had one eye left, would not be properly examined.
"rest assured."
Saburo accepted the order.
Holding Qin Jianming, Saburo checked the vehicle very carefully, not leaving out any corner, as he was worried that the Chinese soldiers were cheating.
The fuel tank was full. Not only that, there were several barrels of gasoline in the car. The car could only start if it had gas. Saburo was quite satisfied with the Chinese soldiers' work. After checking the car and the gas, he finally checked the dry food.
It's real dry food.
Fried rice.
Fried rice.
Sanlang looked at the fried rice and fell silent. Wasn't this the dry grain of China many years ago? Why is it still the same thing now?
Thinking about the shortage of supplies in China, Saburo finally grabbed a handful of fried rice and brought it back to the living room.
He would have to let someone try it before he could be sure whether it had been tampered with.
The ones who were forced to eat the fried rice were Zhu Hongxia and Qin Jianming.
Fried rice is very choking. In order to survive, Zhu Hongxia and Qin Jianming dared not refuse to eat it even though their necks were choked.
While Sanlang was checking the dry grain, Silang kept holding Qin Qingman and standing in the gap behind the window to investigate the situation in the yard. The car was his focus, and he was very worried that he had not noticed someone getting on the car.
Fortunately, after ten minutes, Zhu Hongxia and Qin Jianming, who had eaten the dry food, had no accidents.
It's time to leave.
Just before leaving the house, Silang thought of Zhu Hongxia and Qin Jianming. Taking two more hostages has both advantages and disadvantages. Hostages are amulets, but also shackles.
There were only three of them, so one of them had to drive. It was impossible for them to ask Chinese soldiers to help drive. If there was one more Chinese soldier in the car, any accident could happen.
So the only people who can drive are our own people.
Silang's eyes were fixed on the movements in the yard, but his mind was thinking that, in fact, he could have thrown away Qin Caiyun and the others at this time, but Qin Caiyun's value was greater than the remaining two hostages.
As long as she is well controlled, Qin Caiyun can indeed be used by oneself, and can also be pushed out as a scapegoat when necessary.
Silang was a little hesitant about what to do.
"Silang?" Sanlang had wanted to kill someone for a long time, and of course he knew that now was the time to do it.
"The reason why I agreed to be a hostage is to save the hostages. If you want to kill people, then let's die together." Qin Qingman knew the two villains' mentality at the moment and said this in a calm tone.
"Do you think I dare not touch you?"
Sanlang has been threatened by Qin Qingman many times and is already on the verge of tolerance.
"Just try and see, who dies faster, you or the rest of us." Qin Qingman looked at Sanlang with a cold gaze and said calmly, "If I were you, I would definitely not cause trouble at this time. It's safer to behave yourself."
Qin Caiyun used the words that Silang had just used to threaten her to humiliate the two gangsters.
Silang and Saburo were so angry that they felt powerless.
To be honest, they really couldn't hurt Qin Qingman because she was their only key to leaving here.
"If you want to leave, leave quickly. Don't you know that we Chinese have a saying that goes 'the longer the night, the more dreams you have'? Are you planning to give our military more time to set up a tight net to catch you all in one fell swoop?" Qin Qingman turned on the mocking mode.
From the fluent conversation between the two criminals, she knew that they could understand various Chinese idioms and proverbs.
Silang and Sanlang were once again so angry at Qin Qingman that their livers hurt.
But Qin Qingman's words did remind them that every extra minute they stayed would be extremely dangerous for them.
They really had no confidence that they could escape the dragnet set by the Chinese military.
"Silang?" Sanlang looked at Silang, waiting for Silang's order.
"Wuwuwu--" Zhu Hongxia and Qin Jianming both heard the conversation between Silang and Sanlang, and knew from Qin Qingman's words that the two gangsters wanted to kill them. The two who did not want to die watched the two gangsters struggle.
But their hands and feet were tied, and their mouths were gagged again, so no matter how hard they struggled, it was all in vain.
Qin Qingman knew that the two gangsters had listened to her warning.
Otherwise, the two of them would not hesitate at all.
"Knock them out." Silang finally gave in for Qin Qingman's sake.
Zhu Hongxia was already extremely nervous, so she fainted without Sanlang's help after hearing these words. She just rolled her eyes and passed out.
Qin Jianming was not in a much better condition, his whole body limply lying on the ground.
Finally, I don’t have to die.
"How are we going to leave now that we have two hostages missing?" Qin Caiyun was a little dazed.
"You." Silang didn't look at Qin Caiyun, but gave the order.
"Me?" Qin Caiyun was a little confused.
"You are the last hostage." Sanlang took out a bandage and began to tie Qin Qingman's mouth. If Qin Caiyun was to become a hostage, Qin Qingman must not be allowed to tell the truth. As long as they left this mountain village and escaped from the encirclement, it would not matter even if they knew that Qin Caiyun was in cahoots with them.
Qin Qingman also knew at this time that it was impossible not to be tied up.
She did not resist and obediently let Saburo block her mouth with a bandage.
Fortunately, the bandage was clean, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to accept it.
After blocking Qin Qingman's mouth, Sanlang took the gun and hit Qin Jianming directly on the neck, knocking him unconscious, and then pointed the gun at Qin Caiyun.
They are ready to leave.
"Be good, I'll let you go when we get to a safe place." Silang strangled Qin Qingman's neck with his arms again. His tone was gentle, but his actions were extremely brutal, and it was obvious that he was very cold-blooded.
If Qin Qingman really threatened him, he would kill Qin Qingman without any scruples or hesitation.
Qin Qingman knew clearly who the two gangsters were. She did not struggle, but just used her hands between her neck and Silang's arms to buy more air for herself.
When Silang saw that everything was under control, he shouted to the outside, "All of you retreat and clear the way."
He could not believe that the Chinese troops would definitely retreat, but he had to clear a path for them to pass smoothly.
Ding Xiangshan glanced at Wei Ling out of the corner of his eye.
From the moment Wei Ling arrived, he became the commander on the scene.
"Do as they say." Wei Ling gave the order without hesitation. As long as the hostages were safe, he could guarantee to rescue them.
Ding Xiangshan received the order and immediately raised his hand. As he waved his hand, the people and torches surrounding the gate of Qin Lei's courtyard began to move rhythmically.
Among these moving people were civilians from Kaoshan Village and soldiers. Everyone made way for vehicles. As for the truck brought by Wei Ling, it did not enter the village but waited at the entrance.
The truck is the last line of defense set up by Wei Ling, and it is also where Political Commissar Zhang is at this time.
Silang and Saburo had been staring at the situation outside the house. When they saw the Chinese soldiers retreating, they were suddenly filled with excitement.
They were one step closer to a successful escape.
"Chinese soldiers, to show our sincerity, we are willing to leave two hostages. Don't worry, the hostages are not in danger of life, they just fainted." Shilang took the initiative to express his sincerity.
Outside the house, people started talking when they heard the criminal's words.
Everyone is guessing who has been released and who is still in the hands of the criminals.
The expression on Wei Ling's face was still as cold as ever. He knew that Qin Qingman was definitely not a released hostage.
"Tell them that we want to see all the hostages." Wei Ling laid out his plan step by step.
Ding Xiangshan immediately conveyed our intention to the criminals.
Silang understood Huafang's request very well and ordered Saburo to open the hall door.
When Sanlang opened the door, he said in the smallest voice, "In fact, we can use those two hostages to exchange for Dalang and the others."
He was still a little unwilling to let Zhu Hongxia and Qin Jianming go.
"There's no time." Shiro had thought about this problem a long time ago, but he didn't dare to gamble or waste time. The first thing he thought of was his own safety. They had to be safe first.
"Yeah." Sanlang nodded slightly as he pushed Qin Caiyun out.
People in their line of work really don't need to have that much compassion.
The door of the hall was opened as wide as possible, revealing not only Qin Qingman who was controlled by Silang, but also Zhu Hongxia and Qin Jianming who were unconscious on the hall floor.
Although it was the first time that Silang was exposed to the public's sight, he did not show his head completely. Instead, he hid himself behind Qin Qingman. Even though he was hunched over, he did not dare to stand up straight.
There is a blind spot in the house behind him, so as long as he is careful, his back will not be exposed.
Silang pushed Qin Qingman away, and Sanlang also held Qin Caiyun's neck and leaned behind Silang.
The two men advanced in a back-to-back formation.
At this moment, everyone's heart was beating violently.
Neither the criminals nor the rescuers could remain calm at this moment.
Silang and Saburo took steps one after another that they could never turn back. Outside the yard, many people were watching their every move, and neither side let down their guard.
Invisible sweat flowed down their backs.
"Captain." Ding Xiangshan was shocked and surprised when he saw clearly the hostages controlled by Saburo.
Didn’t the intelligence say that Qin Caiyun had betrayed us? How come she also became a hostage?
Wei Ling was unable to make a judgment for a moment.
Because Qin Caiyun looked really miserable at this moment, with obvious slap marks on her face, and the degree of swelling did not seem fake. And the degree to which she was being controlled at this moment, was that kind of strangling method really for one's own people?
But since ancient times, traitors and spies have all been good at acting. Wei Ling did not intend to believe Qin Caiyun easily, nor did he arbitrarily conclude that Qin Caiyun was a traitor. He whispered, "Save the person first."
There were so many civilians at the scene. They knew that Qin Caiyun had rebelled, but the civilians did not. Not rescuing her would easily cause misunderstanding among the civilians.
"Yes, Captain."
Ding Xiangshan's attention was immediately focused on Qin Lei's yard.
Countless guns in the surroundings were also aimed at the two gangsters in the yard.
However, because the two criminals had hostages in their hands, everyone was concerned and could not open fire. However, they remained highly alert and the muzzles of their guns kept moving along with the criminals' bodies.
Shiro is very vigilant.
He was trying hard to keep an eye on the dangers around him while tightening his grip on Qin Qingman's neck.
We must not be careless at this moment and we must also control the real hostages in our hands.
Just when everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit.
A dark shadow flashed before Shiro's eyes.
The black shadow was moving so fast that it almost appeared as a double image.
Everyone reacted the moment the shadow appeared.
Sanlang pointed his gun at Qin Qingman, Silang pressed the trigger with his finger pressed down, and the shooter arranged by Wei Ling in advance also fired the bullets in his hand at the two gangsters.
It can be said that Black Shadow changed everything.
Wei Ling also rushed towards Qin Qingman.
Everyone moved, including Qin Qingman. The moment she felt the shadow, she moved before the gangster.
The hand that had been between the neck and Shilang's arm slid along the gangster's arm to the base of Shilang's hand, and with a strong twist, the other hand grabbed Shilang's shoulder. The change happened in an instant.
The competition is about who is faster.
Qin Qingman gave everyone the impression of being weak and timid, and no one ever thought that she could fight back.
So Silang was thrown out by Qin Qingman with a beautiful shoulder throw, and Sanlang aimed his gun at Qin Qingman's head.
"Bang, bang, bang--" gunshots rang out.
Along with the sound of the gunshot, there was another action, which was Qin Caiyun hitting Sanlang.
Qin Caiyun used all her strength to barely push away the muzzle of Sanlang's gun that was pointing at Qin Qingman before Sanlang fired.
Just a little bit, before Saburo's finger pressed the trigger, he was hit.
Not just one shot, but several.
Silang knew he had lost the moment he flew into the air. He never thought that Qin Qingman knew self-defense skills.
This kind of self-defense technique does not require absolute strength to be performed, as long as you know how to use cleverness, so he fired when he flew into the air, but the muzzle of his gun was no longer aimed at Qin Qingman, but at Qin Caiyun.
Qin Caiyun betrayed them at a critical moment.
Otherwise, Saburo's death would not have been so worthless.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
The sound of the bullets was crisp, and almost at the same time, everyone on the scene fell down.
The bullets on Silang and Saburo were both shot by shooters arranged by Wei Ling, and the bullet on Qin Caiyun was caused by Silang.
After Qin Qingman threw Silang over her shoulder, she slid more than a meter on the ground before stopping. Then a black shadow jumped on her excitedly. It was the wolf cub.
"Ah, ah, ah—
The wolf cub had been enduring until it saw Qin Qingman was about to be taken away, it finally found the opportunity to attack. Because of it, the two gangsters were killed and Qin Qingman was out of danger.
Except for the well-trained soldiers, the people of Kaoshantun were all watching the scene in shock.
Things happened so fast, almost in the blink of an eye, and many things were different.
Wei Ling was the first one to rush to Qin Qingman.
He did not go to help Qin Qingman who fell to the ground, but checked the breath of the two gangsters.
He was shot in the middle of his eyebrows and died completely in just a few seconds.
Only Qin Caiyun is not dead yet.
Qin Caiyun was hit by Silang. At that moment, she was blankly covering her heart with her hands. She felt a little painful and a little cold. The surrounding lights formed large patches of golden stars in her eyes.
"Qin Caiyun."
Qin Qingman quickly untied the gag and rushed over to half-help Qin Caiyun up.
Qin Qingman was the closest to Qin Caiyun before, so she knew what choice Qin Caiyun made at the critical moment. That's why she supported Qin Caiyun as soon as she got up without caring about comforting the wolf cub.
"I...I didn't betray my country."
Blood gushed out of Qin Caiyun's mouth and her eyes were wide open. She tried hard to look at Qin Qingman. Although her pupils were already dilating, she still tried her best to look at the figure in front of her that was becoming increasingly blurry.
Qin Qingman had already seen Qin Caiyun's injuries, and she covered her heart with her hands, saying firmly: "Qin Caiyun, you have not betrayed the country, you are the daughter of our Kaoshantun."
Qin Caiyun had indeed made many wrong choices before and had harmed her biological parents and brothers, but she ultimately chose to save Qin Qingman.
At the most critical moment, Saburo opened the muzzle of the gun pointing at Qin Qingman.
Although Qin Qingman couldn't be hurt without her, Qin Caiyun still made a choice.
Strictly speaking, Qin Caiyun did not actually commit treason.
She finally came to her senses.
"Qin Qingman, you can't look down on me." Qin Caiyun grabbed Qin Qingman's hand with trembling hands, and a lot of blood flowed from her mouth.
The blood was hot, warming Qin Qingman's hands.
"Qin Caiyun, from today on, I will never look down on you again." Qin Qingman didn't know whether Qin Caiyun's final choice was because she had judged in advance that there was no hope of escape and didn't want to bear the crime of treason or because she really came to her senses and turned back.
The person was about to die, there was no need for her to cause more trouble.
Qin Caiyun heard Qin Qingman's words clearly, and she felt that these were the most beautiful words in the world.
She no longer felt cold, but instead felt warm, extremely warm.
"Qin Qingman." Qin Caiyun turned her gaze to the night sky.
After a standoff for half the night, the day began to dawn.
"I'm here." Qin Qingman didn't know what Qin Caiyun's last words were, but she sincerely held Qin Caiyun's hand and tried to give her warmth with her own hands.
"Qin Qingman, will you hold a memorial ceremony for me after I die?" Qin Caiyun also knew that she didn't have much time left.
"Yes." Qin Qingman knew what Qin Caiyun was worried about.
She had seen how Qin Caiyun treated Qin Lei before, and she also knew that Qin Lei's family hated Qin Caiyun. Qin Caiyun asked herself this question now because she was worried that no one would collect her body after she died.
"I hope that in my next life I can live in a place where men and women are completely equal, where there is no preference for boys over girls, no oppression of girls, and parents treat boys and girls equally. That kind of life must be wonderful."
After saying this, Qin Caiyun closed her eyes completely.
As her eyes closed, her breath disappeared.
Qin Qingman's mood at this moment was very complicated. She found it difficult to judge Qin Caiyun. To be honest, she was very vicious and thoroughly bad most of the time, but in the end, she did not really commit treason.
She didn't know if her previous words had awakened Qin Caiyun.
In the end, Qin Caiyun made the right choice.
At this moment, there were countless voices around Qin Qingman, some rescuing people, some arresting people, but these voices automatically moved away from her. In her eyes, there was only Qin Caiyun who had lost her breath.
Taking out her handcuffs, Qin Qingman wiped the blood off Qin Caiyun's face.
At the same time, she said softly, "You will definitely be born into a good family in your next life and will definitely live in the world you hope for." Because she came from that world.
As long as they can stand on their own feet and have the ability, later generations will be more tolerant of women.
"Daughter-in-law."
Wei Ling stood beside Qin Qingman for a long time, and only spoke after seeing that Qin Caiyun was really dead.
He had just heard the conversation between Qin Qingman and Qin Caiyun and guessed the reason.
Qin Caiyun might have really committed treason before, and the accusation of Qin Lei and his son was correct, but Qin Caiyun also turned back at the last moment and helped Qin Qingman, and eventually lost her own life.
Qin Caiyun was killed by criminals.
The shooters that Wei Ling had arranged earlier only shot the criminals between their eyebrows, so it was easy to identify them.
The wolf cub jumped vigorously beside Qin Qingman. The strong smell of blood at the scene stimulated it. This was human blood, which was different from animal blood.
"Ah Ling, I'm fine."
Qin Qingman came back to her senses at the sound of Wei Ling's voice, and reached her hands into the snow to wash them slowly.
He didn't stand up until all the blood on his hands was washed clean.
"Daughter-in-law."
Wei Ling hugged Qin Qingman tightly.
His heart was still pounding. He was really worried that something had happened to Qin Qingman. His heart was tense all the time. Only at this moment when he saw Qin Qingman without any injury did he completely relax.
"A Ling, don't worry, I'm fine, really."
Qin Qingman comforted Wei Ling in turn. She knew that she had scared her family today. Thinking of this, she looked outside the courtyard gate. The scene was surrounded by soldiers, and Huang Wanqing and Chuchu were not allowed in.
Qin Lei's family has been taken over by the military.
The division's medical staff were also busy.
They were checking the hostages' injuries and safety. Zhu Hongxia and Qin Jianming were just knocked unconscious, but they came to themselves after a while. Looking at Qin Caiyun who was covered with a white cloth, both mother and son had strange expressions on their faces.
I can't tell whether I'm crying or laughing.
"Wife, let's go home."
Wei Ling had handed over the command of the on-site cleanup to Ding Xiangshan, and he planned to pick up Qin Qingman.
Qin Qingman stopped Wei Ling from carrying her like a princess and said, "A Ling, it's okay, I can still walk." Although it was her first time facing such danger, her control was indeed good.
There is no weakness in the legs.
"Wife, let's go home." Wei Ling did not insist on hugging Qin Qingman, but followed Qin Qingman's wishes and held his wife's hand.
He pulled the person and slowly left Qin Lei's yard.
"elder sister."
As soon as Qin Qingman walked out of the hospital gate, two figures rushed over, one was Chuchu and the other was Huang Wanqing.
Both the big and the small were frightened.
Although they all witnessed Qin Qingman's bravery with their own eyes, they were more worried about whether Qin Qingman was injured.
"I'm fine, I'm not hurt." Qin Qingman hugged Huang Wanqing and Chuchu in turn.
I don’t know if it’s because Chuchu has gained a lot of weight, but she can’t hold him.
"Sister, let's go home, let's go home." Chu Chu had been frightened for half the night. At this time, she had carefully checked Qin Qingman's body. Seeing that she was not injured, she quickly pulled Qin Qingman towards the gate of her home.
There were many soldiers defending their house before, but now the crisis is resolved, the soldiers will move to Qin Lei's house next door.
Qin Qingman's family became quiet instead.
"Awooo--" Just as Chuchu was pulling Qin Qingman home, a dissatisfied groan came from under her feet.
The wolf cub was very dissatisfied.
It protected Qin Qingman today, but no one rewarded it.
The wolf cub's cry attracted everyone's attention.
Chu Chu quickly bent down and held the wolf cub in her arms, and even kissed the wolf cub's furry face hard. If the wolf cub had not attacked at two critical moments today, it would not have been so easy to rescue the hostages.
Chuchu was very grateful to the wolf cub, and Huang Wanqing also happily rubbed the wolf cub's head.
Everyone knows the wolf cub's contribution.
"Qingman, are you okay?" The villagers who had been waiting to watch Qin Qingman's family reunion finally came over, everyone's face was filled with excitement and relief.
Fortunately, Qin Qingman was not in trouble.
"Qingman girl." Secretary Zheng Anguo looked at Qin Qingman with a particularly complicated look. Although he was glad that Qin Qingman had escaped from trouble, he also regretted the death of Qin Caiyun. He still didn't know that Qin Caiyun had committed treason.
Qin Caiyun is already dead, and she turned back to the right path before her death. Qin Qingman certainly would not revoke the last bit of dignity of a dead person.
"Secretary, thank you for leading everyone to the rescue. The rest of the matter will require you to work with the people's soldiers to handle it." Qin Qingman spoke politely to Zheng Anguo.
"Qingman, I saved all this. You should go back and have a good rest. We will help you deal with Qin Lei's family affairs." Zheng Anguo could see the slight fatigue on Qin Qingman's face and quickly reminded her to go home and have a rest.
Hostages who face criminals head-on are the most exhausted.
What's more, Qin Qingman saved four hostages on her own. Otherwise, more than one Qin Caiyun might have died.
"Secretary, I am indeed a little tired today. I will go home and have a rest."
Qin Qingman didn't bother to be polite with Zheng Anguo. After she finished speaking to Zheng Anguo, she looked at the many people looking at her and said, "Fellow villagers, we don't need your help with the follow-up matters. Everyone go home and rest. It's cold, don't get sick."
Although everyone was wearing a lot of clothes, there were many elderly, weak, women and children in the crowd. Their bodies were not as strong as those of young and strong men. After waiting here for half a night, it was time to go home, warm up and have a good rest.
"Qingman, don't think too much about it. Go home and have a good rest. We have you covered for anything."
"Yes, Qingman, go home and rest, and we will go back too."
At this time, the people in the village were very obedient to Qin Qingman.
Ever since Qin Qingman had the courage and the wisdom to save people, everyone has been very convinced of Qin Qingman. Qin Qingman's words have the same prestige as Zheng Anguo in the village.
This is also what Zheng Anguo likes to see.
There is no doubt that Qin Qingman will be elected as the commune's women's director this year. Her achievements today are enough for her to secure the position of the commune's women's director.
"Comrades, the People's Army will handle the follow-up matters. We must trust the People's Army. The Army will definitely get to the bottom of the matter and give you an explanation. Go home, go home and rest, don't get really sick."
Zheng Anguo also began to urge his fellow villagers to return home.
"Well, then we'll go back. Qingman, you and Chuchu should also go home quickly." The people said goodbye to Qin Qingman one after another.
Before leaving, everyone looked at the wolf cub in Chuchu's arms with admiration. Everyone saw how the wolf cub performed today.
Those with sharp eyes could see that it was the wolf cub who created the rescue opportunity, while those without sharp eyes were very satisfied with the wolf cub's loyalty to his master. At this moment, the entire Kaoshan Village accepted the wolf cub.
The villagers were so enthusiastic that Qin Qingman felt it was difficult to just go home with Wei Ling and the others.
I could only stand there and watch everyone leave.
"Aunt Qingman, you are the most powerful person in our Kaoshan Village." Sanmu, on behalf of a group of children, ran up to Qin Qingman and saluted solemnly before running back to his parents excitedly. He felt that Qin Qingman must be included in the list of people he admired.
At the same time, his eyes looking at the wolf cub were also full of joy.
He wanted to touch the wolf cub.
But Sanmu also knew how picky the wolf cub was, so he didn't extend his hand in the end.
There were other children who had the same idea as Miki.
Qin Qingman waved her hands vigorously at the children's sparkling eyes. She knew the wolf cub's arrogant personality, so she did not take the initiative to agree to let the children touch the wolf cub.
In the end, all the old, weak, women and children in Kaoshantun returned home, leaving only some strong villagers to follow Zheng Anguo to assist the military in dealing with the aftermath.
When Qin Qingman and Wei Ling returned home, Huang Wanqing and Chuchu had already returned home and lit the stove, and the kang was lit again.
"Wanqing, Chuchu, you two go to bed. I'll take a shower and rest for a while."
Not only had Qin Qingman been kidnapped by criminals before, but she had also touched the blood on Qin Caiyun's body. She definitely needed to wash before resting.
"good."
Chuchu and Huang Wanqing glanced at Wei Ling, and then obediently carried the wolf cub, whose feet had been washed, back to the east room.
"Wife, I'll go prepare some bathing supplies for you." Wei Ling turned around and prepared to move the bathtub.
"A Ling." Qin Qingman called Wei Ling and then threw herself into Wei Ling's arms.
