"Brother Yan, that kid from the Wang family is not honest. When you were away, he and that Wan Sanhua even caused trouble for my sister-in-law."

"It's only because my sister-in-law has a good temper. If it were any other woman, she would have slapped them in the face long ago!"

Jiang Yanzhi went out for a while, but arranged for his younger brother to keep an eye on the movements of his young wife and sister.

It was also the previous incident with the scar man that left him with a psychological trauma, so when he was not around, he was always worried that bad guys would break into his house.

"Besides the Wang family, is there anyone else causing trouble for my wife?"

What's that kid from the Wang family planning? Don't think he doesn't understand.

In the past, he relied on a woman for support, which made people in the village think he was doing well.

Now the women around him have betrayed him one by one. He can't make it in the village, so he wants to find a job in the city.

But jobs in the city are all assigned to specific people, so how could a peasant like him dream of that?

However, this matter is not urgent. He will think of a way to keep Old Wang's family busy so that they will naturally have no time to cause trouble for his young wife.

"And Han Cripple, he once sneaked into your house in the middle of the night and tried to steal something!"

"But that idiot is so blind! Before we brothers could even start fighting, my sister-in-law came out and beat him down!"

"Then he was sent directly to the police station and hasn't been released yet!"

Jiang Yanzhi also knew that Han the Lame was just a thief who was a scoundrel. He didn't have much ability, but he had a very evil heart.

If anyone provokes him, he will definitely sneak into that person's house at night and steal something.

This thing is a toad. It's not poisonous enough to kill people, but it's annoying.

"Go back and tell our people to keep him locked up for a while longer, at least during the New Year period."

Although Han Quezi was a thief, he could not do anything more dangerous.

As long as we can find a way to lock him up for a while, and then let the younger brothers take turns to warn him after he comes out, there won't be any big problems.

"Okay, Brother Yan!"

"I'll tell my brothers to do it when I get back!"

Xiao Chen took Jiang Yanzhi's instructions to heart and planned to go back and find a reliable person to handle this matter.

"By the way, Brother Yan!"

"Biaozi sent me news, saying they've caught a lot of prey, and asked when we'd be free to go collect them."

Biaozi thought he had talked enough and was about to go back to work, but suddenly he remembered something.

"Is there any movement from Biaozi?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Yanzhi's eyes lit up.

Biaozi is a hunter who lives in the mountains all year round and catches a lot of prey every year.

Because he doesn't often walk around the village, most people don't remember him.

Every year, Biaozi would provide a batch of meat to the black market, allowing the black market to make a profit at the end of the year.

Before he left, he had already gone to Biaozi to ask. At that time, Biaozi didn't have much prey. Unexpectedly, he would get good news after returning from a trip.

Jiang Yanzhi immediately took two of his men and went to the valley where Biaozi was.

When they went up the mountain, they found that the snow here seemed to have been cleared, probably by Biaozi when he came out last time.

In addition, there was no further snow in the past two days, so the road was not covered.

A few of them followed the mountain road all the way to Biaozi's home.

There was smoke coming out of Biaozi's kitchen, and it seemed that someone was inside.

Winters in Northeast China are very cold.

Whether ordinary people or prey in the mountains, they would prepare a large amount of wood to keep warm during the winter.

Wherever there are people, there is smoke from cooking, and the chimneys smoke almost all day long.

"Xiaobei, go check out the situation!"

Even though he was already very familiar with Biaozi, Jiang Yanzhi still sent a younger brother to find out the situation first.

They say that just in case, people in this line of work have to be cautious.

Jiang Yanzhi hid in the dark with the remaining brothers. They also saw Biaozi walking in from the house and welcomed Xiaobei into the house somewhat stiffly.

But it didn't take long.

Xiaobei ran out of the house in a panic, and then waved his hands vigorously towards the hillside.

"Brother, run! There's an ambush here!"

Jiang Yanzhi immediately realized that something was wrong. Just as he was about to pull out the black box attached to his waist, he saw a man in a hat appear behind Xiaobei.

The other party raised the black muzzle of the gun and fired a shot at Xiaobei's back.

Xiaobei, who was still shouting, was knocked to the ground by the shot and didn't move for a long time.

"The wind is strong...hurry!"

Unexpectedly, they encountered such an emergency when they came out to collect mountain products. They lost a comrade without any preparation.

Jiang Yanzhi didn't dare to stay and quickly ran towards the mountain with the remaining brothers.

It is really too dangerous to take the main road, as it is easy to expose yourself to the other party's sight.

I had to change direction and go towards the woods.

With the shelter of trees, maybe we can escape.

Jiang Yanzhi urged his brothers to run quickly, while he stayed behind with a gun in hand to cover their retreat.

At this critical moment, another man in black ran out from Biaozi's house.

These people were wearing black cotton coats and black cotton hats on their heads.

Each person had a thick black scarf wrapped around their neck, which completely covered their mouth and nose, making it impossible to see their specific appearance.

However, Jiang Yanzhi still realized from these people's strange behavior that they were definitely not Chinese.

"The damn Japs actually infiltrated here!"

Jiang Yanzhi was so angry that he almost bit his teeth. It was all his fault for being too careless and not noticing anything unusual.

Now Xiaobei’s life or death is unknown, and these people are exposed to the enemy’s gun.

Everyone was chasing each other, and Jiang Yan even killed one of the pursuers in the process.

After finding a place for a few brothers to hide, Jiang Yanzhi planned to meet the rest of the people in person.

Xiaobei’s life or death is unknown now, and the number of enemies is definitely not large.

As long as he is careful, he might be able to get rid of them all, and if he is lucky enough, he can even save Xiaobei's life.

After all, this was the brother he brought up. If he really died here, how would he explain to Xiaobei's grandmother?

Xiaobei is also a pitiful child. When he was 12 years old, his parents starved to death due to the Great Famine.

He and his grandmother were left alone.

If Xiaobei is gone, then Xiaobei’s grandmother will definitely not survive.

After all, he is so old and cannot accept such a huge blow.

Jiang Yanzhi had a ball of fire in his chest, and he wished he could kill all these little devils.

Fortunately, Jiang Yanzhi was very familiar with this generation. While constantly changing positions, he successfully killed the remaining opponent.

However, two of the other party still ran away, so Jiang Yanzhi did not choose to continue chasing them, but sneaked back to Biaozi's house.

At this time, Biaozi had already moved Xiaobei into the house and was helping him stop the bleeding.
