Shi didn't look at Shan Xiaomei, nor did he look at the people who were trying to stop him. His eyes were fixed on the locust tree not far away.
When the trafficker was about to hit her legs with the stick in his hand, Shiye threw the torch fiercely. The torch drew a long arc in the air and fell on the big locust tree like a star. In an instant, flames burned fiercely.
It was already the coldest time of the year, and when the dead wood met fire and was blown by the night wind, it was like a prairie fire.
At this time, the wooden stick also hit Shi Ye's leg. She bent her knees and fell to the ground, screaming in pain, but did not sit there and wait for death. She turned around, grabbed the wooden stick, snatched it away easily, and smashed it on the leg of the person who attacked her with her backhand.
"Ah——" The shrill scream, accompanied by the sound of breaking bones, was very obvious.
Shiye was so strong that the stick broke. However, her ferocity made the traffickers around her pause. For a moment, no one dared to step forward. Shan Xiaomei was furious: "What are you still standing there for? If you can't even subdue a woman, what can I expect from you in the future? Come on! Come on! Cut off her hands too!"
Zhao Gangqiang then walked out of the crowd, saying urgently, "Hurry up! Once the fire starts, we'll be like targets! If you don't leave now, how will you explain to the police? And there are these unnecessary women in the village! Go!"
Shan Xiaomei gritted her teeth and pointed at Shiye: "What about this woman? If we can't take her away, she'll just let it slip, right?"
Zhao Gangqiang frowned, and suddenly glanced at the torch in the villager's hand, and said coldly: "Burn it!"
Hearing this, Shan Xiaomei's eyebrows moved, and she looked at Shi Ye's fair skin under the firelight with a little regret.
But there was no better way at the moment, so she could only nod and say, "Okay, let's do as you say. We'll say it was a crazy woman in the village who set fire to the locust tree and wanted to use this opportunity to attract the police. Ha, we'll end up losing more than we gain!"
After Shan Xiaomei finished speaking, she turned and left, while Zhao Gangqiang raised his chin, and several villagers hesitated.
Although they often bought women from human traffickers and even tortured them, they couldn't bring themselves to burn people alive. Seeing this, Zhao Gangqiang snorted and directly grabbed a torch: "Blame yourself for not knowing what's good for you."
Shi Ye frowned and stared at Zhao Gangqiang, cursing in his heart, what a cruel and ruthless old man.
She glanced and saw Zhao Defu not far away from her. The only thing she could do now was to divert the trouble away.
She didn't want to kill anyone, but at this critical moment, protecting herself was the most important thing.
The moment Zhao Gangqiang threw out the torch and Shi was about to move, suddenly a gunshot rang out and a bullet broke through the air.
"Bang--"
With a loud bang, the torch thrown at Shiye exploded in the air, sparks flew and landed on people. Screams were heard and the crowd scattered. Shiye moved back and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, someone finally came.
It was only when she heard that the police were coming that she decided to take a risky move and rescue all the poor women trapped in the village.
If she left, things would remain the same as before. The police would definitely leave if they found nothing unexpected after inspecting the situation, and the human traffickers and these ignorant and hateful villagers in the village would continue to carry out this shameless business.
Although she is an egoist, she still has a kind heart when it comes to basic morality.
Looking at the villagers injured by the sparks, Shi also felt relieved, but also puzzled, are the police's shooting skills so good these days? It can be said that they can hit the target accurately. Thinking of this, Shi turned around and looked in the direction where the bullet came from.
When he saw this, he was stunned. Then, his pupils shrank and his hands that were supporting the ground slowly clenched.
Xiao Yue was wearing a crisp combat uniform, with messy black hair, and he exuded an aura that kept strangers away.
He looked as if he was strolling leisurely, and as he approached, the whole village fell silent.
When Shan Xiaomei saw Xiao Yue, her face turned slightly pale and she took two steps back inconspicuously.
Xiao Yue held the gun in one hand and let the other hand hang slightly, with blood dripping from his fingertips. When he was less than three meters away from Shi Ye, he looked her up and down. She was dressed neatly and did not suffer any serious injuries.
However, it is stupid that you could be kidnapped by human traffickers just sleeping in a hotel.
Xiao Yue took off his combat uniform, threw it to Shi Ye, and said coldly, "Put it on!"
Shi also frowned and looked at Xiao Yue in confusion. A beating followed by a sweet date?
However, when she looked at the blood splattered on the ground, her heart moved slightly. Could it be that she had misunderstood?
Judging from Xiao Yue's personality, he does things without leaving any room for others. It would be more appropriate for him to come here to silence her. There is no need to help her. So, she was just unlucky. She was targeted by human traffickers while staying in a hotel and was inexplicably abducted to Hutou Mountain. Is Xiao Yue here to save her?
This thought kept circling in his mind, and Shi Ye's mouth twitched as he wrapped Xiao Yue's combat uniform around himself.
She stood up with a half-broken stick in her hand, her leg bones aching. She pointed at the villagers and said, "This is a den that is colluding with human traffickers. There are many women in the village who have been sold here. We can't let them go!"
As he was talking, Shi also moved closer to Xiao Yue and whispered, "The one over there, Xiao Mei, is the leader of the human traffickers. She was the one who brought me here from Ling'an City. We must not let her go."
Shi was quite tall, and when he stood behind Xiao Yue, he was just as tall as his shoulders.
The hot breath sprayed on his neck, Xiao Yue frowned, his eyes were sinister and tinged with twilight.
At this time, Bao Qing rushed over, took a look at Shiye who was protected by Xiao Yue, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Comrade Shiye, are you okay? Old Xiao hurried along the way, fearing that he would be a step slower. I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."
Hearing these naive words, Shiye pursed her red lips and the sand in her hands loosened.
It seems that the trust crisis between her and Xiao Yue can be temporarily resolved, and this incident was definitely not done by him.
Xiao Yue was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt. There was a half-foot-long scar on his arm, with the skin and flesh turned inside out. He seemed to be unaware of the pain and walked slowly in one direction. His voice was calm and a little cold: "Shan Xiaomei, or should I call you Shen Xiaomei?"
Shan Xiaomei, who was hiding behind the crowd, suddenly froze and her breathing became rapid.
She didn't expect that she was just attracted by the fact that this little girl was alone, fair and pretty, and thought she could sell her for a good price, but she didn't expect that she was wrong. Not only did she turn out to be a strong and troublesome person, but she also attracted Xiao Yue from the Northwest Frontier Defense Army!
A few years ago, Xiao Yue was still a company commander. Because of his radical combat style and his ability to deal with the Annan Army, the company he led was very famous in the entire Northwest Frontier Defense Army. Their bandit group was almost wiped out that year, all thanks to him!
She, the fish that had escaped the net, suddenly saw the plague god on Hutou Mountain. Her heart was beating like a drum and she was really a little scared.
Bao Qing frowned, and his eyes were directed at Shen Xiaomei in the crowd: "Back then, because you were pregnant, you disguised yourself as a village woman, and when you escaped, you took advantage of the border guards' softness and killed two people. Now you are doing this kind of thing in Ling'an City again. It's really a pity that you deserve to die!"
Shen Xiaomei gritted her teeth and looked up at the two of them with a resentful look, but she said nothing.
