Everyone turned around and saw that it was Xue Laohu, who had returned with Han Mingjiang and Han Zhaoxiong.

That arrow was shot by Xue Bao from a distance, who saw the urgency of the situation and killed the big man who was trying to rush towards the old village chief.

Following closely behind, Zhang Deshui, Zhang Songshu, and others who had been lured by the people of Zhoujia Village to the mountainside to look for their children also returned.

Behind them followed three tough women: Li Sanya, Tonghua, and Xue Nizi.

Three women are more terrifying than men.

He charged forward, wielding a large club, and began to beat the people from Zhoujia Village with all his might.

While hitting him, he shouted, "I'll show you! You tricked me, you tricked us into coming up the mountain, and then sold our children, didn't you? I'll beat you bastards to death!"

Li Lanzhen hadn't gone far when she saw Xue Bao pulling a cart towards her. She quickly went to greet him and saw her niece, Miaomiao, Lingdang, Linglong, and more than a dozen other girls still unconscious.

Li Lanzhen felt a surge of anger rising to the top of her head.

"Xue Bao, take them home. I'm going to settle accounts with the people from Zhoujia Village!"

After saying that, he picked up the axe and strode away.

Xue Bao was still surprised. When did Aunt Lanzhen become so agile? And judging from her appearance, she wielded the two axes with ease.

He shook his head, deciding it was best to get the girls to safety as soon as possible.

When Li Lanzhen arrived, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

She charged in, brandishing her axe, and targeted the dozen or so burly men. She swung her axe left and right, and no matter where it struck, those who were hit cried out and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Everyone was terrified by her formidable fighting skills.

After being stunned for a moment, the people of Hanjiacun gained more morale and chased after them to fight.

Seeing two burly men carrying broadswords trying to escape, Li Lanzhen immediately gave chase, but unexpectedly stumbled and almost fell.

She looked down and saw that it was Zhou Shi.

Without hesitation, he raised his foot and stomped hard on the arm that was gripping his ankle.

With a cracking sound, Zhou screamed.

Li Lanzhen kicked her hard again in the mouth that was howling.

Immediately, blood flowed from Zhou's mouth, and she died.

Li Lanzhen forgot that she was now incredibly strong, so in her anger she just trampled on Zhou Shi.

Seeing the burly men running ahead, she swung the axe in her hand at their backs.

The axe pierced their backs, and the two men fell face down to the ground, twitching a few times before going still.

Li Lanzhen walked over, pulled out an axe in each hand, and then wiped the blood off their bodies.

He stomped hard on their waists and necks twice.

Hearing the click, he turned around and walked back.

At this point, the situation on both sides was one-sided, with the people of Hanjiacun and Lujiazhuang gaining the upper hand.

If they fight back, beat them to death. If they don't fight back, gather them all together and beat them until they're dead to vent your anger.

Just then, Han Shunde saw twenty or thirty people waving carrying poles, stones, and sticks, shouting and yelling as they rushed towards him.

His heart tightened; could it be that the people of Zhoujia Village had once again joined forces with outsiders to help them?

Upon seeing this, Han Zhaoxiong immediately blew his whistle and reorganized the guard team. When those people rushed up to them, they realized that they were from Liujiazhuang, which was not far from them.

Village Chief Liu, panting, ran over and saw them standing there; they were safe.

"When we saw you fighting and killing here, we thought you might have been attacked, so we quickly left our families behind and organized the young and strong to come and help you. We didn't expect you to have already dealt with these scoundrels."

Seeing the dozen or so people running towards them, Li Lanzhen thought to herself, "These ungrateful wretches from Zhoujia Village not only led us out of the famine, but also gave us food and water. In the end, they are not as good as a stranger from another village whom I have only known for a few days."

Han Zhaoxiong helped the old village chief to his feet. He cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, thank you for coming to help. We misjudged people and raised a bunch of ungrateful wretches who actually brought human traffickers to harass the girls in our village."

They've either been killed or subdued by us.

A young man from Liujiazhuang stood up and said,

"Village Chief Han, when we came back just now, we rescued an old woman in that ravine. Her head was covered in blood. As soon as she woke up, she pointed outside the mountain and said that three big men were pulling girls out of the mountain."

We chased after it but didn't see the car. When we returned, the old lady had fainted again, and my mother was watching over her.

Li Lanzhen suddenly realized that she couldn't find her eldest daughter-in-law's mother anywhere.

He said to Zhang Songshu, "Songshu, that must be your mother. I didn't see her just now. I thought she was with you. Go and carry her back quickly."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Songshu, Han Minghai, Da Niu, and Er Niu hurriedly followed the young man towards the mountain pass.

When Li Lanzhen saw Xue Laohu and the others return, she really didn't want to stay there for another fifteen minutes.

She said to the old village chief, "Old village chief, what do you think we should do with these ungrateful wretches?"

"We're done. Let's get going. We can't stay here any longer."

Xue Laohu also stepped forward, "Old village chief, we must leave here quickly. This morning, when we were preparing to return, the refugee camp in front of Youzhou City had already started a riot."

There were people inside deliberately causing trouble, inciting and shoving the refugees.

The officials and soldiers of Youzhou City have already left the city to clear out the refugees and persuade them to return to their hometowns.

Han Mingjiang said, "Perhaps the soldiers of Youzhou City will fight those rioters. We should not suffer an undeserved disaster."

Just then, an annoying voice came from behind, "Aunt Lanzhen, please, I heard you have some medicinal herbs, please go and save my mother."

When Li Lanzhen saw it, she realized it was Zhou's daughter, the old village chief's youngest daughter-in-law.

She gave a disgusted sneer, "It's only because I'm kind that I didn't chop her head off, and I even gave her medicine? Keep dreaming!"

After saying that, he looked at the old village chief and said, "Old village chief, please finish these matters as soon as possible so we can go home and pack our bags."

Then he said to the people of Hanjiacun and Lujiazhuang, "Those of you who are willing to come with me, quickly pack your belongings. And those of you who have lost children, don't panic. Xue Bao has already rescued all the lost children, and they are now in my house."

At this moment, the old village chief of Liujiazhuang, with a careful and ingratiating smile, walked up to Li Lanzhen and said, "Hehe, we from Liujiazhuang also want to follow you. We only have 11 households left now, 32 people of all ages. We won't be a burden to you. We'll find our own food and drink. It's because of your kindness that we want to follow you to find a way to survive."

Li Lanzhen looked into his longing eyes and was deeply moved.

He probably wanted to give the remaining villagers a way to survive.

He then said, “If there are any ungrateful bastards or traitors in your village, have you seen these two axes of mine? The blood on them is the blood of ungrateful bastards, traitors, and human traffickers. If you have even the slightest bad intention, I will chop you down with one of these axes.”

At this moment, Village Chief Liu smiled happily, "Don't worry, don't worry, I can guarantee that the remaining people in Liu Family Village are all kind and hardworking, know how to be grateful, and will not be ungrateful or treacherous."

Li Lanzhen nodded and said, "Alright then, hurry up and pack your things and gather over here."

At this moment, Li Lanzhen no longer looked at the old village chief, but said to the people of Hanjiacun and Lujiazhuang, "Anyone who wants to follow me should pack their things as soon as possible and gather in front of our thatched hut. I will wait for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. You all heard me. The situation is serious. If we are even a quarter of an hour late, we will be in danger of being killed."

After saying that, he picked up the two axes and turned to leave.
