Lu Chuan replied with a "good" response. The rain outside had stopped, so he led his team to Paner Village along the road Shen Yijin had mentioned.
The Schnauzer was running in the front and smelled its owner's scent again. It wagged its tail wildly, but restrained itself from barking.
It knew that it couldn't alarm the villagers of Paner Village at this time.
Paner Village seems to be a poor village at first glance, but when Lu Chuan was looking for the family with the largest yard, he found that every house in the village was newly renovated, and the houses were deliberately made to look old, and the village was full of a sense of incongruity.
The Schnauzer led the way, and the group soon found the house where the crescent moon was.
But when they went to the basement to rescue people, they encountered new problems.
The cellar was in the pigpen. Once Lu Chuan and others approached, the pigs in the pigpen became restless and squealed in fear.
If the pigs squeal loudly, the villagers sleeping in the house may be woken up.
"Captain Lu, how about I go?" The relatively petite female police officer asked Lu Chuan in a low voice, "The people imprisoned in the cellar are all women. They see people going in the cellar every day, so they're probably used to it."
Lu Chuan hesitated for a few seconds, still feeling uneasy: "Pigs are very strong. I'm worried about you going alone. I'd better go with you."
The Schnauzer slowly came over dragging the wooden barrel, and patted Lu Chuan's thigh with his paw, signaling him to pick up the barrel.
Lu Chuan glanced at the wooden barrel and found that it contained sweet potato leaves, beans and other things.
Lu Chuan guessed that this should be the feed used by the villagers to feed pigs.
He carried the wooden barrel and walked towards the pigpen, motioning the policewoman to follow him.
Without being told, the Schnauzer had already gone into the pigpen and was standing near the cellar waiting.
Lu Chuan poured all the feed in the wooden barrel into the trough. The pigs, who had been agitated at first, calmed down after smelling the aroma of the food and crowded around the trough to grab their midnight snack.
Lu Chuan and the female police officer took the opportunity to climb into the pigpen and go down to the underground to rescue people.
There were many women lying in the cellar, all of them unconscious, their hands and feet tied together with ropes, and their mouths were tightly blocked with rags.
The policewoman walked over to the woman closest to her and raised her hand to gently stroke her forehead.
Feeling the scorching heat on her hand, the policewoman frowned: "Captain, she has a fever."
"Woo woo!" Hearing the policewoman's words, the women who were tortured by pain and unable to sleep opened their eyes one after another, making unclear sounds from their mouths, crawling little by little, and approaching Lu Chuan and the policewoman with tears in their eyes.
Only then did Lu Chuan realize that among these women, there was actually a pregnant woman with a big belly.
Lu Chuan was nimble and quick in untying the ropes on the women.
The women choked with tears but dared not make any loud noise.
The feverish woman leaned against the policewoman's arms and asked in a weak and hoarse voice: "Are you here to rescue us? Jialan escaped, right? We are saved, right?"
She was very emotional, but she hadn't had any food or water for a long time, so her voice was weak. The policewoman tried to get closer to the woman before she could hear what she was saying.
The policewoman did not answer the woman's questions to Jia Lan. While she was trying to calm the woman down, she looked at Lu Chuan and asked him what to do next.
They were assigned the Wanwan Mingyue case and came here under the guidance of Shen Yijin.
Jialan was probably also a victim who was sold here. As to whether she escaped from the village and was rescued, they are not sure yet.
But at this time, it was obviously impossible to tell them the truth.
They have suffered so much psychological trauma that they may collapse in despair if they hear any bad news.
However, the policewoman didn't say it, but someone had already guessed it.
The pregnant woman's face was filled with despair. She clutched her belly and fell to the ground in agony. "Jia Lan didn't escape, right? Was she already killed by those beasts? No, they won't kill her so soon. They'll chop off her legs until her body can no longer bear children. Only then will they kill her..."
"Sister Qiao Hui, don't be so pessimistic. The police are here to rescue us. Even if Jialan didn't escape, at least she's still alive! As long as she's alive, there's still hope. The police will rescue us all." The woman, who had just been captured a few days ago, hurriedly crawled over to comfort the pregnant woman. Qiao Hui's due date is in these few months, and she can't be stimulated.
Lu Chuan also assured the women: "Yes, don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you. Don't worry, we police will definitely take you away from Paner Village safely and reunite you with your families."
Qiao Hui cried with joy, she covered her stomach and cried silently.
The woman who was trying to comfort Qiao Hui noticed a large amount of water leaking out from under her legs and exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh no! Sister Qiao Qiao's water broke!"
The women who still had the strength to move around quickly crawled to Qiao Hui's side. Apart from cheering her on, they were anxiously unsure of what to do.
Lu Chuan and the policewoman felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Giving birth at this time was not a good thing.
The villagers might wake up at any time when they hear the noise, and the heavy rain will continue soon, so they are unable to safely transfer the pregnant woman and other victims.
The conditions here are terrible and it is not safe to give birth to a child.
The policewoman is still very young and has never been in love, let alone knowing how to have a baby.
She bravely went to help Qiao Hui give birth. While helping, she turned back to Lu Chuan and said, "Captain, leave this to me. Go up and tell everyone. We can't delay any longer. We have to take this village today!"
The noise of Qiao Hui giving birth would inevitably alarm the villagers. They had no way to take the victims away in advance, so they could only confront the villagers head-on.
Lu Chuan also understood the seriousness of the situation. He pointed to the intercom and gave a final reminder before leaving: "Be careful. Contact us anytime if anything happens."
