He Zhennan hated two kinds of people the most in his life: human traffickers and drug criminals.
In his eyes, both types of people deserve to die!
Since leaving Wanxi Village a few days ago, it took him almost a day to reach the county town.
However, as soon as he entered the county town, he found that something was wrong. It was completely different from the harmonious and peaceful small county town he had seen before the earthquake.
The entire county seemed to be suddenly shrouded in war and viruses, and everyone was in danger!
There were obvious signs of looting, smashing, and burning in many places in the county town. Some people immediately closed their doors when they saw him, and there were signals of vigilance in their eyes. Several adult men looked at her with extremely dangerous expressions.
That wary, dangerous, aggressive look and gaze.
They don't look like people who have just experienced the pain of a natural disaster. Instead, they look like those residents on TV who have lived in war zones all year round!
If it weren't for the fact that no one had any weapons and most of them were old and weak and obviously lacking physical strength, He Zhennan felt that some people would even attack him directly.
The residents of the county town and the villagers of Wanxi Village are almost like people from two different worlds.
He was surprised and confused by all this.
Until the evening, waves of suppressed sobbing of women, screams of fear of children, and the voices of old people crying and begging, along with the sound of the night wind, kept coming into his ears. At this time, the confusion in He Zhennan's heart was completely resolved.
It turned out that the county town had run out of food half a month ago, and many people were racking their brains for a bite of food, a box of firewood, or a quilt.
Without the relief supplies distributed from above, it was impossible to leave the county town to find food in the wind and snow, so many people turned their attention to other things.
Especially when someone starts doing it secretly, these things are like a flood that can never be stopped!
At first, a small gang of more than a dozen people carried out small-scale robberies. They visited all the shops in the county town, big and small. Later, more and more people joined the gang.
As the number of members of the gang grew, they not only robbed the shops, but also the residents living in the county town. They took away all the food from the residents, drove the residents out of their homes, and occupied the residents' houses.
It was also stated in a very high-profile manner that if these residents still wanted to live in their original homes, they would need to pay a certain amount of supplies every day as accommodation fees.
The actions of this gang caused some desperate residents to follow suit, and the entire county was in chaos in less than a week. Almost everything that could be looted, found, and eaten was turned over.
But the county town is so small and there is only so much food... Everyone was trapped in the county town by the blizzard. Some people who had no power to resist and did not want to starve to death dug out the bodies of those who were killed by the earthquake and buried underground.
Some even set their sights on living people. Young children, elderly people with little ability, and women with weak physical strength all became the first targets of these guys.
The county town besieged by the snowstorm is like a hell on earth!
Those lonely and helpless elderly people, children and women worry about their future every day. This emotion spreads throughout the county like a virus.
There is no one from above to manage these things, and no one has the ability to stop them.
When He Zhennan arrived, the situation was already very serious.
He didn't have the ability to take care of too many things by himself, but since that group of people that night had bumped into him, he couldn't just stand by and watch!
He Zhennan's eyes darkened as he recalled the scene he saw that night...
A desperate old man collapsed to the ground, weeping. On the white snow lay pools of blood, a mess of footprints, two piles of freshly ripped-out organs, and a woman lying on the ground, her body shrouded in traces of abuse.
The snowstorm has stopped in the past few days, but the north wind is still blowing. The glass next to me is whistling in the north wind. The laughter of the men in the room, the bubbling of boiling water, and the crackling of firewood, accompanied by the aroma of meat, keep coming out of the window.
He Zhennan squatted under the windowsill with his eyes drooping. No one could notice the coldness in his eyes at this moment.
It took me so long to find this group of people, and I have been squatting quietly under the window waiting for an opportunity, intending to catch them all in one fell swoop!
…………
Winter nights come early. Before six o'clock, the sky outside is already dark.
After the village's protective wall was built, even though it was not completely dry yet, the villagers still felt as if they had taken a reassurance pill, and even slept more peacefully at home at night.
With patrols late at night and the moon shining these past two nights, everyone is not as afraid of the cold as before.
That night, there were unexpectedly people visiting Wanxi Village to visit and chat!
Even two people came to Qin Suyun's house tonight. One was Aunt Wang who lived in the east end of the village, and the other was Aunt Liu who lived in the west end of the village. Both of them were more than ten years older than Qin Suyun.
On weekdays, Qin Suyun had a close relationship with them, so she was still a little confused about why the two of them came so late at night.
"Sister Qin, good evening..." Aunt Wang greeted Qin Suyun happily, and Aunt Liu was equally enthusiastic.
Qin Suyun was completely confused and could only nod and greet, saying good evening.
"What brings you two here so late at night?"
There were no lights on in Qin Suyun's yard, so the three of them stood in the yard in the moonlight. They didn't feel cold at all. Aunt Wang was the first to speak: "Sister Qin, we two do have something we'd like to ask you for help with."
"Hmm?" Qin Suyun blinked, not quite understanding what Aunt Wang and the others needed her help with.
"It's like this. Didn't we come to your place with the village chief and others last night? Then we heard the chicks chirping...so we wanted to ask you, big sister, if you want to sell the chicks you hatched?" Aunt Liu was a straightforward person. She always liked to talk, so she just said what she was thinking.
"That's right, we're here to ask if you're selling your chicks. If you are, we can offer you one kilogram of rice for each chick!"
Aunt Wang rubbed her hands and smiled kindly, "I've heard everyone say that the world might be even worse in the future. All our chickens and ducks were killed by falling beams in the earthquake. I don't know if we'll be able to buy chicks anywhere else. So we decided to come to you early to buy some chicks. Sister Qin... what do you think?"
After saying this, two pairs of eyes looked at Qin Suyun.
"No problem, it's just a small matter... If you want chicks, just come with me." Qin Suyun didn't hesitate. The chickens in her family had been well fed and watered at home for the past two months, and they had hatched two broods of chicks. The fluffy chicks had only hatched a few days ago.
