"It was because I locked the thief inside that I dared to go out and call you."
Everyone: I don't know why, but what you said makes a lot of sense.
But aren't you worried about your house being robbed?
Jiang Ci had no idea what these people were thinking, but she followed them step by step and unlocked the door.
The men darted inside in a flash.
The light from the torches and the flashlights shone into the room at the same time.
Then, everyone was stunned.
A big man was holding down another big man, holding an iron bar in his hand, and was hitting the man's head with it again and again!
Who is this person?
Li Hu was the one who smashed the object, and Zhou Laoda was the one who got smashed.
Li Hu was in a frenzy, blood gushing from his head and arms. He was in a state of extreme excitement and rage, and he was beating Zhou Laoda to death!
Everyone: "...Holy crap."
"Ouch! That was a really hard hit!"
This scene was so intense that not only the women behind the men, but even the men themselves wore distorted expressions.
He's gone mad! Li Hu has definitely gone mad!
Seeing this, Aunt Lian, who had squeezed in, stamped her foot. "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pull them apart! Quickly! If they keep fighting, someone will die!"
Aunt Lian shouted, "Li Zhiqing! Li Hu! Stop right now! If you keep hitting him, someone will die!"
The men, armed with weapons, were somewhat apprehensive about Li Hu's crazed state, but they couldn't let him actually kill Boss Zhou.
The men exchanged glances and then rushed forward together.
Some men held down Li Hu's arms with sticks, some used rakes to hold down his legs, and some pounced on him and pinned him down. Several men worked together to subdue Li Hu.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ci immediately snatched the iron rod from Li Hu's hand.
"Get him out of here! Get him out of here right now!" Aunt Lian shouted. "Get a few more people here, and carry Boss Zhou out too!"
With their combined efforts, everyone managed to get Zhou Laoda and Li Hu out.
Zhou Laoda has been beaten unconscious by Li Hu. Li Hu cracked open his head, and blood is still gushing out!
Li Hu was completely conscious, and he appeared to be in better condition than Boss Zhou. He was being held down by several people and tied up with rope.
His vision was filled with blood red. When he was tied up, he suddenly saw Jiang Ci standing with Aunt Lian.
Jiangci!
Jiang Ci! I'll kill you!
Li Hu roared, and his body suddenly burst forth with astonishing strength as he lunged at Jiang Ci!
Before the men could react, they instinctively reached out to stop him, but they couldn't. Li Hu charged straight at Jiang Ci!
Aunt Lian is over fifty years old. If that irrational bastard Li Hu pounces on her, he will definitely get her into trouble.
Jiang Ci pushed Aunt Lian away and nimbly dodged Li Hu's lunge. She swung the iron bar high like she was hitting a golf ball, and with a thud, smashed it into the back of Li Hu's head!
Li Hu's eyes widened, and the murderous aura that had filled him instantly dissipated as he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Jiang Ci kicked him away with disdain, looked at the group of farmers, and said calmly and authoritatively, "Tie his legs up with a rope too."
The men were stunned. For some reason, seeing Jiang Ci holding an iron rod, they inexplicably obeyed Jiang Ci's order and went over to tie Li Hu's legs with rope as well.
After they finished tying up the people, Jiang Ci said to the men, "Could one of you please go to town and get the police?"
A woman paused, then asked hesitantly, "Jiang Ci, isn't this... a bit too much?"
Jiang Ci glanced at the woman and said, "Auntie, being lenient with prisoners is being cruel to us ordinary people. What did Li Hu look like when he beat people? What did Boss Zhou look like? What were the injuries on Li Hu's body like? And what kind of mess did my house get into?"
"If we don't call the police, who can control these people?" Jiang Ci said quietly. "Are we just waiting for them to wake up and continue their madness to smash up my whole house?"
The woman was speechless, and Aunt Lian didn't know what to say either.
A man stepped forward and said, "I'll go, but wouldn't it be too slow if I ran? I'll borrow a bicycle from the brigade leader's house."
Jiang Ci remembered him; he had come when her family was repairing the courtyard wall.
"No need, Brother Gui'an, I have a bicycle at home, you can ride it there."
At this point, Jiang Ci paused, then suddenly ran back into the house.
Someone quickly chased after them inside, and Aunt Lian followed them in. The area illuminated by the flashlight beam was a complete mess.
Aunt Lian was so moved by what she saw that she didn't know where to begin feeling sorry for her.
The bamboo strips that were supporting the mosquito net were broken, and there was blood everywhere on the floor and bed, making it a terrible sight.
Jiang Ci went to see her only valuable possession—her bicycle.
The bicycle fell to the ground, but nothing serious happened.
Jiang Ci rushed over and helped the car up. She looked it over and found it was alright.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Pushing her bicycle outside, Jiang Ci noticed Aunt Lian's pitying gaze and smiled helplessly, "Aunt Lian, my family suffered such an undeserved disaster. Is it alright to hold Zhou Laoda and Li Hu accountable?"
Aunt Lian nodded immediately, "No problem, it's what they should pay! These two will definitely be sent to a labor camp! Don't worry!"
Jiang Ci pushed the car out, and the man Jiang Ci called Brother Gui'an rode a bicycle with a companion and went out to find the police.
Not long after, Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao were also brought back by Erzhu.
When Zhou Mingli returned, he saw two people in extremely miserable condition.
After listening to Jiang Ci's story, Zhou Mingli was at a loss for words.
The captain glanced at his wife; there were just too many troubling things going on.
He sighed deeply and said, "It's not good to leave them lying at your house forever. Get them to the medical station first. Both of them are seriously injured, and I estimate they'll need to be transferred to the town hospital!"
"Then let's get them to the medical station first."
The men who hadn't left yet carried Zhou Laoda and Li Hu towards the medical station.
The brigade leader also sent someone to Zhou Laoda's house and the educated youth settlement to inform Zhou Laoda's wife and those at the educated youth settlement who were close to Li Hu to go to the medical station to pay the medical expenses.
The medical station is sure to be in chaos tonight.
They can't clean up her house now; they need to preserve evidence so the police can see the scene when they arrive.
So Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci had Dazhu and Erzhu take Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao to Yu's house to sleep, while Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli locked the door and moved to the medical station with the rest of the group.
Before I even got there, I could hear them arguing and cursing inside.
This time, however, it wasn't Widow Wang or Chunhua who were shouting.
One of them is lying unconscious in a hospital bed, while the other... well, he's watching the show too.
Whose show are we watching?
Let's watch Old Man Qian and Aunt Qian's antics.
