Thinking of this, Ma Zhaodi wiped away her tears, rushed to her room, rolled up the thirty-odd yuan she had saved over five or six years in a handkerchief, and pulled her second sister, whom she had raised, in front of her.

"Laidi, I heard from your older sister that something big is going to happen at home soon. Take this money. If something happens to your older sister, hide it well and don't give it to anyone or tell anyone! Keep it for you and Pandi!"

At this point, Ma Zhaodi choked up, hugged her panicked sister, and spoke in a comforting tone.

"Big sister..."

"Don't be afraid, Lai Di! Wait for your older sister to come back! Take good care of Pan Di!"

Bang!

The door was kicked open, and Ma Guihua, who was about to put her hands on her hips and start cursing, was directly pushed to the ground. Ma Laibao, who was lying on the bed drooling and having a sweet dream, was directly tied up and carried away.

"What do you want to do! Let go of my son! Help! The People's Liberation Army is beating people! People in uniform are bullying poor farmers!"

Ma Guihua struggled to keep herself from being pulled up, crying with tears and snot streaming down her face, but in reality, she was panicking and didn't know what to do.

Wang Ming stood in front of her, watching her fuss with disgust, making no attempt to lower his voice.

"Do you know Langxi Village No. 1? He has been arrested and confessed to everything, including helping you harm the children in the village. Now you need to cooperate with the investigation."

Ignoring Ma Guihua's cries of injustice in the courtyard, Ma Zhaodi indifferently stretched out her hand and voluntarily allowed herself to be tied up by the soldiers.

“My two younger sisters know nothing. They are my father’s biological daughters, Dong Dalu’s daughters. They are not well received by Ma Guihua, and they are still young. They know nothing about Ma Guihua’s affairs.”

The two soldiers looked at each other, then looked at Wang Ming, the team leader.

Wang Ming glanced at Ma Zhaodi with surprise, then at the two seven- or eight-year-old girls who were terrified, waved his hand, and his gaze towards Ma Zhaodi softened.

"Don't worry, it's just cooperating with the investigation. You'll be released once everything is clear."

Duan Jianhua looked at the one, two, three, or four people who were tied up with a complicated expression. He never expected that his village was full of hidden talents. He had arrested no less than thirty people, some of whom were the most honest people in the surrounding villages. Who would have thought that such people would be spies who could be connected with the Japanese?

The thought that he might spend every day writing reports only made him want to quit even more.

The commune members were so shocked that they forgot to eat their rice. Holding their bowls, they stared dumbfounded at the series of people being taken away. Some were familiar, some were not, and some were even people they often dealt with. Seeing this, they broke out in a cold sweat. Thank goodness, thank goodness.

"My goodness! Are there so many spies in our village?"

As they were talking, something they said triggered a reaction in everyone. They looked at each other, feeling like everyone was a spy. Suddenly, they snapped out of their daze, stopped watching the commotion, and ran home as fast as they could.

Meanwhile, on the mountain, Gu Zuozuo was already caught up in the beating and was hitting harder and harder. By the time the two people in front realized something was wrong, there was no one behind them.

"Where is everyone? Why is no one here?"

Duan Yuyang felt his hair stand on end and nervously swallowed, wondering how he had ended up alone with Gu Shang.

Gu Shang frowned, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and his words were icy cold.

"Duan Yuyang! You tricked me?"

"Mr. Gu, I didn't! I really didn't! I really didn't tell anyone but you!"

“I can prove him right.”

Upon hearing the voice that sounded neither male nor female, the two skeptical individuals felt a chill run down their spines.

"who!"

"Your ancestors!"
