Before he could even take a step, he froze at the doorway!
About seven or eight steps away from the door, Old Man Weng, leading two men, was carrying a water bucket about half a person's height. His face was beaming with that familiar, incredibly warm, and even slightly "surprised" smile as he walked straight toward them.
"Hey! Brother Chen! You guys are still up?" Old Man Weng's voice was loud and cheerful, with just the right amount of "concern." "I heard some noise coming from your house from afar? What's going on? What happened?"
His gaze swept quickly over the group of people standing at the door with varying expressions. He paused slightly on Li Laosan's ashen face and Liu Dazhuang's clenched fist, and his smile deepened.
Village Chief Chen felt a chill instantly shoot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!
The blood seemed to freeze at that moment!
The figure carrying the bucket and the warm smile, under the dim light, were twisted like a vengeful ghost!
Water...deliver water...sleeping drug!
That chilling voice exploded in my ears again, like a curse!
He opened his mouth, but his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.
...
Jiang Chan was completely focused.
The hummingbird detector silently flew into the second room.
The same horrifying recording is playing again!
"Sent to brothels... sold to illegal mines... throat-slitting... drugged with sleeping pills..."
"Huh?! Who's speaking?!"
"What is that?!"
"Did you hear that...?"
The second room instantly erupted in commotion, filled with screams and hushed inquiries.
Panic is spreading!
It's done!
Jiang Chan's heart tightened, and she immediately controlled the detector to rush towards the third room.
Last room! Hurry!
The detector was just about to slip through the door crack...
"Squeak—"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Old Man Weng had already led his men inside.
It's too late!
Forcibly playing the recording would lead the people of Wengjia Village to discover this strange "hummingbird"!
What's even more terrifying is that once the truth comes out, the people of Wengjia Village, seeing their conspiracy exposed, will become enraged and kill to silence them. The unprepared and exhausted villagers of Liushutun are no match for those beasts who are armed with sharp weapons and prepared in advance.
The casualties will be even worse!
We have no choice but to gamble!
The village chief and the people in the second room were alert enough to stop everyone from drinking water!
As long as most people refuse to drink water and remain sober, the people of Wengjia Village, unable to ascertain the situation and wary of the casualties caused by the resistance of these dozens of young men, may not dare to attack immediately!
If we hold out until dawn, there might still be a glimmer of hope!
This is all she can do!
The alarm has been raised; the rest is up to them.
"Come back!" Jiang Chan gave the order decisively.
The hummingbird silently swept across the night sky, then swiftly flew back to the crack in the outhouse, landing in the palm of the hand and disappearing back into the space.
She let out a long breath, her whole body feeling weak.
As soon as my tense nerves relaxed, the stench of the outhouse immediately rushed up.
"Ugh..." She suppressed her nausea, pushed open the door, and quickly walked out.
The night breeze was chilly.
She strode quickly toward the women's quarters.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Sister Zhang and another woman carrying buckets of water, their faces beaming with smiles, calling out to the inside:
"Sisters! Wake up! The water's here! Get up and have a drink before you go back to sleep! Moisten your lips and throats, and you'll have a wonderful dream!"
