Zhao Nan was the same. He was so scared that his chopsticks fell onto the table.
"God bless you, this mountain is too dangerous, I'd better not go up the mountain again."
She prayed devoutly there.
Wang Caigu was not much better, she grabbed Zhao Wei's hand and said, "You are my only son. If anything happens to you, I will die. You are not allowed to go to the back mountain again no matter what."
Zhao Wei sighed and said, "Mom, I'm not telling you this to scare you, but to say that not only is this back mountain unsafe, our village is also very unsafe!"
"Think about it, the other party is only targeting those who are alone in the mountain now, but if no one goes up the mountain, won't they come down the mountain in the future?"
A person who is extremely hungry can only be described as extremely vicious and cruel. It is no longer possible to describe him as a human being.
The person he met at that time must have eaten too much of his own kind and was infected with the so-called prion, becoming neither human nor ghost.
Most people who don’t know about this would actually think it was some kind of mountain spirit or ghost.
Now, even though that person is dead, it doesn't mean the matter is over.
If one person dares to take the risk and try, who can guarantee that there won't be others?
The weather is hot right now, and crops in many places have shown signs of withering.
The situation is even more serious than last year.
There will be more and more people who have not had a full meal for a year and will try to take risks.
Zhao Wei must protect the village and never let such bad guys appear in the village.
So he said to Liu Qian: "If you are afraid, just withdraw from the militia. Otherwise, there may be refugees in the village, and people like you will just be beaten."
It’s not that he looks down on this cousin, the situation is stronger than the person, it’s lucky enough that this guy can protect himself, so what high hopes can he have?
Liu Qian lowered his head in shame and had nothing to say.
Zhao Nan also knew that his son was not up to the task.
But there is always some selfishness in my heart.
Naturally, she didn't want her son to take on such a life-threatening situation.
I could only find an excuse awkwardly.
"Xiao Wei is not yet an adult. With all of you adults here, it's not his turn as a child to step in. Don't you agree?"
The people of the Zhao family naturally stood on his side.
Zhao Wei did not comment.
He didn't mean to force Liu Qian, but he still said to him: "Although I don't expect you to be of any help, you can't always be unable to help, otherwise you will be looked down upon."
"A real man is born into this world. He may not make great achievements, but he should defend his country and not be afraid of sacrifice. This is what a man should be like."
"Cousin, when you are alone at home, I can teach you by example, just like I teach my apprentices."
"As for whether you can stick with it or not, and whether you are willing to learn or not, it's up to you. I won't force you. After all, it's your own choice as to what kind of life you want in the future."
"However, as a relative, I still need to remind you that your parents will grow old one day, and you can't hide under their wings forever. What if one day, these wings are gone, how will you cope with it?"
…
After making this guy lose his appetite, Zhao Wei finished his meal in just a few bites and said anxiously, "I have to go to the village to make some arrangements, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."
The group watched him run away in a hurry, and in the end, they didn't enjoy the thank-you banquet very much.
…
The night was as dark as ink, and Zhao Wei was walking at the entrance of the village holding an oil lamp.
At this time, most people in the village were already asleep.
But he called Huangmao, Erxiao and others to come.
Next, the entire commune's secretaries and some more capable members gathered in a meeting room of Xiangyang Commune.
"Ahem... I'm going to tell you something in a concise manner. This is a matter of life and death. After you listen to me, please don't spread it lightly, so as not to cause panic among the villagers."
He recounted what happened on the mountain today.
Then, under the shocked gaze of the crowd, he continued: "This is what happened. The two boys from Yougu and Tofula's family have been killed."
"At this moment, their bodies are still in that cave. I can bring people to carry them back."
"But this is just the beginning. There will be more and more people like this in the future. We must speed up the security work in our village."
"I know that we have reached our limit and can only support Erxiao and the others, but the current situation is that the harvest is coming soon, and our village is the only place in the surrounding area that has food."
"You should know what this will mean..."
Hunger dehumanizes people.
To be on the safe side, it would be best for the entire village to unite for defense.
At this time, the people in the village had already been convinced by Zhao Wei's leadership and all of them agreed with this proposal.
So, things were arranged one by one quickly.
Everyone was busy carrying out the task, and the village, which was supposed to be quiet, suddenly became lively.
First, the families of Oil Aunt and Tofu Aunt burst into tears when they learned that the missing man had been killed.
Later, they went up the mountain at night and carried the body back.
The dead people had no facial features or brain, just an empty skull.
However, from their limbs, the clothes they wore, and various personal characteristics, it could be seen that they were males from both families.
That night, the chanting and crying sounds from Yushudun never stopped.
When it is so lively, it is also the easiest time for people to sneak into the village.
At this time, the militia team had expanded to more than twenty people.
Moreover, there is suspicion that this team is expanding.
Zhao Wei even wanted to form a militia group based on the number of production teams.
Each group patrols for one day, and the ten groups take turns.
This plan sounds a bit exaggerated and would be difficult to implement in any village.
But Zhao Wei's appeal is strong.
Moreover, he himself and his wife Yunxiu even participated in the patrol.
Young men and women were mobilized, and the situation had become critical.
Everyone did as they were told with trepidation, but until the fifth day, there was no discovery at all.
The village remained quiet throughout.
But instead of letting down his guard, Zhao Wei went to the local armed forces department and applied for several semi-automatic rifles.
In addition, he and Yunxiu both have hunting rifles, and there are also several households in the village that have hunting rifles.
After a rough count, I found that I had collected ten guns in total.
If you didn’t know about this defensive formation, you would think that their village was going to rebel.
