Bao Qing sighed, reloaded his gun, and said to the police in a hurry: "Stay here, lock the car door, and drive down the mountain immediately if there is any special situation, don't give those human traffickers an opportunity to take advantage of you."
After saying that, he also jumped lightly, passed through the bushes and caught up with Xiao Yue.
"Bao Qing!" Zhao Bing watched Bao Qing leave and his face turned pale with fright. In the end, he could only obey the police's instructions and hide in the car, waiting for Xiao Yue and Bao Qing to rescue the remaining female comrades. This would be an extremely dangerous process.

Shi also sat cross-legged in the haystack, closed his eyes slightly, and wanted to take advantage of the time to have a good rest.
However, when gunshots were heard in the woods, she suddenly opened her eyes, stood up and went to the window, half-turned to look towards the woods. At first, she could see the beams of flashlights that were shaking when the traffickers were looking for people, but now she could see nothing.
Shiye frowned, looking a little ugly. Could someone have died?
She became alert. It was not normal that these human traffickers had real guns in their hands.
Shi Ye looked at the nailed window, half squinted her eyes, stretched out her hand to pull down the wooden strip, and her fingers that were originally cut by the porcelain pieces began to bleed again as she exerted force, but she couldn't care less now, as plans could not keep up with changes.
Originally, she wanted to leave Hutou Mountain with the help of Zhao Gangqiang and Zhao Defu, father and son, but the human traffickers had guns, and the villagers were not the only ones who had the final say in Hutou Mountain. Once she fell into the hands of the human traffickers again, her fate would definitely be much more miserable than others. She didn't think that what happened in the carriage could be kept secret, and her great strength meant that her hands and feet would be crippled.
These local tyrants in the mountains have no laws in their minds and have probably taken many lives.
Shi also quietly broke the seal, looked back, opened the window and slipped out.
She climbed up the window frame, stuck to the wall, looked around, carefully opened the window downstairs, and prepared to go into the mountains.
Downstairs, Zhao Gangqiang was negotiating with Shan Xiaomei, and both of them had serious expressions.
Zhao Gangqiang's wrinkled face was filled with anger as he accused, "If it weren't for your people not keeping a close eye on us, we wouldn't have caused such a big commotion and attracted outsiders. If we are found to have any clues, none of us will survive!"
Shan Xiaomei said in a sharp voice: "Do you think I am willing? Who knew that this time you would bring back such a troublemaker!"
Zhao Gangqiang's chest was heaving. At this moment, Zhao Defu came back with a pale face and pointed outside, "Dad, someone really came. It's the police. They have guns in their hands. The matter can no longer be covered up. What should we do?"
Shan Xiaomei gritted her teeth, turned around and was about to leave without caring about what happened today.
How could Zhao Gangqiang let her let go of him at this moment? He quickly grabbed her and lowered his attitude, saying, "Xiaomei, let's not talk about the failure of this operation for now. It's not a good sign that outsiders have come to the mountains. We are now on the same boat. You should take your people into the mountains and hide there immediately. Also, take those women in the village with you. Don't let them find you!"
Hearing this, Shan Xiaomei's expression eased a little, but she still sneered, "You still remember that we are on the same boat. If you had returned the people earlier, our people would have withdrawn long ago. Why would we be blocked here by the police?"
Zhao Gangqiang was stabbed like this, his face was grim: "I will help you cover up the past, and then investigate carefully to see if there is any traitor in your place. How come the police came here just after we brought the person back? Isn't this strange?"
Shan Xiaomei's expression changed, and her eyes became extremely cold: "I will find out the truth about this matter."
Zhao Gangqiang nodded and pointed to the village: "Defu, take people into the mountains!"
"Hey!" Zhao Defu responded and hurried to the village. Shan Xiaomei and everyone followed.
Hutou Mountain is steep and has never been developed. It is inhabited by many wild animals and mountain insects. Usually, when the police come to the village for propaganda activities, they hide the women they buy in the mountains. They have never made any mistakes, and they will definitely be safe this time.
Zhao Gangqiang took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down, but for some reason, his heart was beating wildly.
Shi was forced to listen in the corner for a long time, then he breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the window frame and returned to the second floor of the haystack.
She clapped her hands, lowered her eyes to look at the village which had suddenly become quiet, half-closed her eyes, and hurried downstairs.
"Comrade Zhao? Comrade Zhao?" Shi Ye turned around anxiously and looked at the trembling Li Cuilian: "Comrade Cuilian, what happened? I seemed to hear gunshots just now? Are those human traffickers coming?"
Li Cuilian seemed to be unable to hear what Makiye said, and she kept repeating, "Police, police, go home, go home."
At this time, several children ran out of the house and punched and kicked Li Cuilian. Their young faces were full of malice, and they cursed: "Dad said! You are not allowed to say such things! How dare you say it! Beat you to death! Beat you to death!"
Li Cuilian held her head, not daring to fight back. She just endured it silently, but she still muttered, "Police, go home."
Shi also frowned and pushed a few children away: "You hit your own mother, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
The children were tough and didn't cry, but they glared at Shiye fiercely. One of them shouted at the top of his voice: "My dad said! She was bought here to give birth to babies and work for my family! She is not my mother! My dad also said that he would find a city girl to be my mother!"
Li Cuilian suddenly stopped talking, turned to look at the children, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.
Disgust, hatred, confusion, numbness, all kinds of emotions intertwined together, she turned around silently and went to the kitchen.
Shi followed her and saw that she actually started cooking. She stopped mumbling and looked like a normal person.
She walked over, grasped Li Cuilian's hand, and whispered, "Don't cook. This time, you can leave."
Even though she had a heart of stone, she still felt bad seeing Li Cuilian being tortured to the point of insanity, and even the child she gave birth to didn't treat her as a human being. How many poor people had been harmed by these damn human traffickers?
Li Cuilian paused, broke free of Shiye's hand, and continued kneading the dough. A faint voice rang out, "You can't leave."
At this moment, Zhao Defu came back, and he said anxiously, "Cui Lian! Take the two of them into the mountains together."
Li Cuilian nodded, took off her apron, pulled Shi Ye, and went to the woodshed to release Fu Xing. However, the latter was tied up with hemp ropes, with a cloth ball stuffed in his mouth. His eyes were red, like a frightened bird, and he was extremely scared.
When she saw Makiya, she became a little excited and kept making "wuwu" sounds.
Li Cuilian acted as if she didn't see anything. She grabbed one end of the hemp rope and took Shi with her, and left the yard with Zhao Defu. As for the children, they seemed to be very skilled and ran upstairs in a flash.
Shi Ye's eyes changed slightly, and he pulled Li Cui Lian out in the opposite direction, walking quickly.
Before the children could scream, Shi Ye suddenly let go of Li Cui Lian's hand, quickly snatched the torch from Zhao Defu's hand, turned around and ran towards the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, with the sound of Zhao Defu's roaring behind him.
Shi tried his best, but was suddenly blocked by several people holding weapons.
"I was wondering who it was, turns out it was you, little bitch!" Shan Xiaomei sneered and looked at Shi Ye with hatred in her eyes.
"You've been hunting geese all day, and you've been pecked in the eye by a goose! You're really good, little girl. Don't worry, I'll definitely sell you for a good price." After saying this, Shan Xiaomei said in a sinister tone, "Go! Break her arms and legs! Drag her away!"
