It was heard that many families in the village made money in the quarry and moved away with their families, and they were never seen again.
They had never thought about the real reason before, but instead thought that the quarry could really make money, so there were so many rich people in the village.
Now thinking about it carefully, many people showed fear on their faces.
The other side had a large number of people and were fully armed. They looked like there were more than 10 of them, but this time they were only here to rescue. They only had some digging tools in their hands and didn't even have a knife.
If you fight them with bare hands, you will probably end up being thrown off the cliff to be fed to wolves.
No wonder the quarry is strictly managed. People who work here must strictly abide by the rules. Even if something as big as an explosion happens, they will not be allowed to leave.
The workers who were mining the stones here were all tall and strong, and there were not a few of them, yet they still didn't dare to resist. How could these more than 10 people be enough?
When we think of this, we feel a chill in our hearts.
Some people have begun to feel timid and retreat in silence.
Some even regretted going up the mountain; as long as they never knew the secrets of the quarry, they wouldn't be at risk of being silenced.
Now sneaking up the mountain will only bring trouble. I hope I can escape this time.
The more some people think about it, the more scared they become, and the more scared they become, the more panicked they become.
"Everyone, don't panic. Stay calm and walk slowly. If you walk too fast, you'll make noise, and in the end, no one will be able to escape!"
Jiang Li saw the panic on their faces and she felt a little anxious too.
If these people start to get into chaos, they will soon be discovered by the other side, and then none of them will be able to escape.
She originally thought it would be safe to follow everyone to the quarry to see the situation.
Only now did she realize that all of them had become time bombs. The more people there were, the less reliable they were. On the contrary, it would be easier for her to escape unscathed if she was alone.
Everyone came out together, and Jiang Li wanted to go back together.
Jiang Li's advice calmed some of them down and slowed them down.
But there were a few bad apples in the team who refused to listen to anyone's advice and turned around and ran away impatiently.
While running away, one of them stepped on a branch and made a rustling sound, and the other one fell to the ground with a loud thud because he was too anxious.
Originally, the place where they were hiding was very close to the explosion site. Now that the other party has not retreated yet, if they make any noise here, they will naturally be easily discovered.
"Who's there? Come out now!"
"Stop immediately, or I will kill you without mercy!"
They shouted twice, and the dozen or so villagers on Jiang Li's side were immediately frightened.
Knowing what they did, only a fool would stay where they were after being discovered.
Everyone fled in all directions. The people in the quarry saw that they not only did not stop but ran even faster. The two impatient men immediately fired cold shots into the bushes.
The other few people surrounded them from the side path, so as long as they went down the mountain, they could be captured quickly.
Everyone became even more panicked after hearing the gunshots. Some people ran even more anxiously. Those who fell to the ground were stepped on hard on the back just as they were about to get up.
When Jiang Li saw that something was wrong, he also ran away.
They could have slipped away quietly, but they didn't expect this group of people to be more of a hindrance than a help, and now they are forced to flee in panic.
Moreover, the other party was holding a gun, and if they ran slowly, they would lose their lives.
It was their fault for coming at the wrong time and seeing things they shouldn't have seen. The other party were all extremely vicious criminals, and if they were caught by them, they would only die.
Jiang Li saw several people running down the mountain. She thought about it and decided to run up the mountain.
These people even used guns, they must want to kill them.
Normal people would run up and down, thinking about going home quickly and running to crowded places so that they would feel safe.
Jiang Li did the opposite. She ran slowly. The roads on the mountain were complicated. As long as she escaped from this dangerous area, she would be safe.
Although their whereabouts had just been discovered, she was in disguise, and even the people who were traveling with her didn't know who she was, let alone others.
The other party also doesn't know how many of them there are, so as long as they are not caught now, they can escape down the mountain smoothly later.
Jiang Li made up her mind. She first walked behind the crowd, and then slowly changed her route.
Seeing everyone running down the mountain, Jiang Li did not remind them.
Now is the time to escape. Everyone is only concerned about themselves and no one has time to care about the life and death of others.
And if he reminds others, he will be the one to die, Jiang Li knows this very well.
The more people there are, the larger the target range. If those people fail to catch up above or below, they will definitely chase them up the mountain.
The more people there are, the easier it will be to be discovered. Although Jiang Li is a little scared now that he is alone, he feels a lot more relaxed.
Jiang Li deliberately walked on some remote paths and walked for half an hour. After making sure he was safe enough, Jiang Li found a bush to hide in.
She didn't dare stay in a conspicuous place. If she was discovered, she would have nowhere to hide.
There happened to be a slope behind the bushes she had chosen. If she really had to, she would just roll down the slope, which would buy her more time.
The remaining dozen or so villagers ran down the mountain in panic, but soon after they ran out, they were surrounded by a group of people.
Some of the people surrounding them were holding knives, and two were holding hunting rifles. They were all fully armed and stared at them ferociously.
Some people were so frightened that they were shaking all over and couldn't even walk.
Some of the braver ones turned around and tried to escape, but one of them raised his hunting rifle and threatened fiercely.
"If you dare to run, I will kill anyone who runs!"
Those who tried to escape immediately stopped moving.
Then the people from the quarry surrounded them, skillfully tied up everyone with hemp ropes, and dragged them up the mountain.
"Tell me the truth, how many of you are here? Are all of you here? If one is missing, you will all die!"
Some people's heads were hit hard, some people's shoulders were almost twisted, and some people's lower backs were severely ravaged.
This torture was painful enough, but it had only just begun.
If we didn't answer, they would keep beating us to death. Some people couldn't bear it anymore and started crying, holding their heads and pretending to be stupid.
"I don't know, I don't know, I know nothing!"
Some people were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats, their legs kept shaking, and they could fall to their knees at any time.
The people in the quarry didn't care about this and continued to torture them cruelly regardless of whether they were afraid or not.
Finally, someone broke down and confessed, "In total, there were 14 people who went up the mountain."
