And so, I paced back and forth on the mountaintop with trepidation. I don't know how much time passed, but the sun was already high in the sky. I couldn't wait any longer, so I called out to Xiao Qiang.

"Quickly go and get me those vertical forks you made before, which were soaked in anesthetic. I need to go find them."

Upon hearing my words, Wang Xiaoxiao struggled to get up, her face pale.

"Sihai, you can't go to the camp. Right now, besides you, there are only two other male colleagues left. If you leave, won't everyone in the camp panic?"

"Besides, Wang Ping and his group brought so many foreigners with them. With so many people, if something unexpected happened, it's impossible for not a single one of them to send a message. So you should just wait here. Besides, you're injured now, so what help could you possibly be if you went?"

Hearing Wang Xiaoxiao's words, Xu Wei quickly chimed in, "Yes, Brother Sihai, I think you should just stay here and wait patiently. I believe in Wang Ping; they will all come back safely. Besides, isn't Yang Rui in their group? Yang Rui is very clever. He definitely won't let anyone get into danger!"

Seeing Wang Xiaoxiao and the others blocking my way, I knew that if I really tried to force my way out, these women would be even more worried.

But if I don't go out, then I obviously can't sit still and wait here any longer.

After thinking it over for a long time, I finally took a deep breath and was about to sit down and wait a little longer when a cheer suddenly came from below the camp.

I turned my head and saw that the thin mist in the woods below the camp had dissipated at some point, and there were a large number of people standing below.

When I first glanced down, I was startled and almost instinctively grabbed a wooden stick next to me. But I soon realized that the people standing below were all our people.

Wang Ping and Chen Jian stood at the front, their complexions looking fairly good, though they both appeared to be injured.

I struggled to get up and was about to go down the mountain when Chen Jian waved at me and shouted, "Brother Sihai, don't rush, let's come up."

After saying that, they quickly opened the gate below and ran up one by one. Only then did I realize that the foreigners in the crowd were carrying three women on their backs.

It seems they actually succeeded!

When Wang Ping and Chen Jian ran up, I noticed that all of them had bloodstains on them to varying degrees. I looked them up and down and saw that Chen Jian's arm had a large gash with the skin turned inside out.

Fortunately, Chen Jian was in good spirits, so his injuries were obviously not very serious.

"Don't let Liu Jiaojiao see your condition. Go find Xiao Qiang and ask her to help you. Otherwise, Jiaojiao is still in her postpartum period, and if she sees you like this, she will inevitably get anxious and upset, which is not good for her health."

Chen Jian nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Alright then, you can let Brother Wang Ping tell you the rest."

After saying that, he skipped off to find Xiao Qiang. I was a little puzzled when I saw how happy Chen Jian and the others were.

Did your trip go smoothly?

Wang Ping nodded, then took a bowl of water from the wooden table next to him, gulped it down, and wiped his mouth.

"We owe this all to Yang Rui. That kid is really damn clever. We thought we were going to suffer heavy losses from these indigenous people, but he came up with a plan, and look, we not only escaped injury, but we also easily rescued these women."

Looking at Wang Ping's smiling face, and then at the foreigners resting down the mountain, I became even more curious about how Yang Rui had managed to save these women without causing us such serious injuries.

"Stop beating around the bush and just tell me."

Wang Ping smiled and pursed his lips as he told me that when they first came out of the woods, it was very dark outside, and they thought that even if they were to find the indigenous people's stronghold, it would definitely not go too smoothly.

Because these indigenous people are clearly not easy to mess with.

But Yang Rui told everyone that he had a way to solve this problem, but it was a bit risky. If it succeeded, at least we would have a better chance of winning.

Upon hearing Yang Rui's drawing, Wang Ping urged Yang Rui to speak quickly, and Yang Rui then told Wang Ping and the others about his plan.

"Yang Rui planned to split the people I went with into two groups. One group would distract the indigenous people, and the other group would wait until all the indigenous people left their camp before they would go to their hideout and rescue the foreign women."

This is a typical feint attack tactic, and it's feasible.

After Yang Rui finished speaking, he also relayed these words to the foreigners. After all, they were going to rescue their companions, so they immediately decided to use them as bait to attract the attention of the indigenous people.

The rest of Wang Ping and his men stayed behind to guard the area until most of the indigenous people had left, and then they would rush forward and head straight for their hideout.

These indigenous people were quite clever. When they left, only a portion of them chased after them. The remaining group was larger than Wang Ping and his group had anticipated, but fortunately, their numbers were still fewer than Wang Ping's.

Moreover, Wang Ping and his men had made the best preparations when they arrived, so they hit the target almost instantly, defeating all the remaining indigenous people inside and rescuing the three foreign women.

Seeing Wang Ping's smug expression, I breathed a sigh of relief: "So, why did it take you so long to come back?"

"That's because after we lured all the indigenous people away, their camp still had lynxes. While we were fighting with the lynxes, the indigenous people came back, and it was inevitable that they would run into each other. In the end, a fight broke out, but fortunately, there weren't many of those indigenous people to begin with, and we had already defeated the seven or eight people left in their camp. In the end, we won and ran back from there."

"And when we came back, Yang Rui said we shouldn't go straight back to our camp, because we were afraid that the indigenous people would follow us and set up those traps again, and that the indigenous people would see them. So we took a long detour back."

After listening to Wang Ping's words, I couldn't help but admire Yang Rui; his mind was indeed very sharp.

I just don't know what he's been up to with his shrewd mind all this time in our camp.

However, we were finally relieved to have rescued these foreign women who had been kidnapped by the locals.

The next thing to do is to rethink the plan to accept these foreigners and build houses for them.
