It was half an hour later that Zhao Wei received the news from the militia.
There was no other way. There was quite a distance from the other side of the river to the village. The militiaman had used all his strength to finally deliver the letter.
When Zhao Wei heard the news, he was really furious. He quickly called all the militiamen and dozens of strong villagers to head into the forest.
He almost predicted the hiding place of these 18 people, and when the militia who brought the news appeared, he figured it out almost instantly.
So, without thinking, they pulled people up the mountain, each of them carrying weapons in their hands.
This time they went to fight, which alarmed everyone in the village.
The old men kept clasping their hands together.
"God, please bless the people in our village to return safely and not cause any more trouble."
"Our village is already miserable enough, please bless us, Bodhisattva..."
The two experts, who were still watching the seedling cultivation situation at this time, shook their heads and sighed when they saw the situation.
"Why bother? It's not easy for us to live!"
"I heard that there was a fight in our village. I don't know how our family members are doing now!"
"Unfortunately, President Zhao is not in a position to approve any notes right now, so we can't move around freely. Let's just wait for him to come back!"
…
Just as the two were whispering there, they saw that the people in the village had spontaneously organized themselves. Men and women were like a solid wall, guarding their homes.
Fortunately, this time, no one came to the village to do anything, and it was quiet everywhere.
Yunxiu stood in the crowd, looking at the place where Zhao Wei and the others disappeared with some worry.
Beside her, Wang Caigu and Zhao Yong, as well as Liu Qian and Zhao Nan, all stood together. The whole family was together, looking forward to Zhao Wei's victorious return for the first time.
Time passed minute by minute, and occasionally a burnt and stinky smell would be blown in from the forest by the wind.
The smell was a bit choking, and Yunxiu inevitably frowned, then dry-heaved.
Such a small reaction, in this silent moment, was a bit exaggerated.
The first person to look over was Wang Caigu. She stepped forward and helped her with some concern.
"Yunxiu, what's wrong with you?"
Yunxiu patted her chest heavily, then swallowed the rising feeling of annoyance, and said with a twitch of her lips: "Mom, I'm fine. It must be because the food I ate these past two days was not clean, so it made me upset!"
In the hot summer, food is easy to go bad. People in the countryside are used to it and don’t think there is anything wrong with it.
Wang Caigu didn't doubt it, and just said casually: "It seems that it is better to cook in small portions in the future. Too much will be a waste."
Nowadays, in remote areas like theirs, there is not even electricity, let alone refrigerators.
Food will go bad if left overnight, but some families will still eat it in order to avoid waste.
…
While the villagers were still worried, Zhao Wei had already begun the operation to clear out the 18 people.
He was the fastest and carried a shotgun.
In the past, he didn't dare point his hunting rifle at anyone, but now, he has a gun license and, like Captain Zhou, has the right to shoot and kill criminals.
He earned all this by using several certificates of honor, and he also solved the strange antique case recently, preventing many valuable cultural relics from being lost overseas.
Outsiders are unaware of this achievement, but only Captain Zhou knows the value of this case.
At this time, in order to rescue those innocent women, Zhao Wei almost ran all the way to the scene of the accident.
His speed was so fast that he left everyone in the village far behind.
When we arrived at the scene, we heard the confrontation between Erxiao and the group of people.
Erxiao is quite courageous, and he has been trained well these days.
After this matter is over, he will arrange for him to take the military examination, and then he will have a brighter future.
At this moment, the situation was urgent, and he crouched through the bushes, with his shotgun steady on his shoulder.
Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, he clearly saw that the 18 people from Mouse Village were surrounding several women. One of the troublemakers was not very quiet and held a girl in his arms, touching her from time to time.
The girl's desperate struggle was of no avail. There was a huge disparity in physical strength between men and women, and she was destined to be the weaker one at certain moments.
This kind of person cannot be kept, and this thorn in the side should be made a target right away.
Zhao Wei suddenly stood up and pointed the muzzle of his shotgun at the other person's arm.
"Bang~"
The sound of gunfire rang out, echoing in the mountains and forests, startling the birds in the trees and making them fly up.
The group of people turned around suddenly, and then heard the screams of their own people in the crowd.
A companion was hit.
Everyone was suddenly panicked, and the weapons in their hands looked ridiculous.
Why should a group of people like them, armed with kitchen knives and sickles, fight against those with guns?
"Is it Zhao...Zhao Wei?"
Someone in the crowd recognized him and almost fell to his knees because his legs went weak.
"You...why are you here?"
Zhao Wei sneered: "If I don't come again, are you going to poke a hole in the sky?"
He took two steps forward, keeping his gun pointed at these people.
"Let him go, and I can give you a chance to live."
These people still wanted to be stubborn: "Don't come over here! Otherwise I will..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhao Wei suddenly pulled the trigger. Another gunshot rang out, and the bullet grazed the man's ear and hit the tree trunk behind him, splashing wood chips all over his face.
The troublemaker was so frightened that the sickle in his hand dropped to the ground with a clang, and he collapsed, holding his head.
Seeing this, the others dared not resist and raised their hands obediently.
Erxiao took the opportunity to rush over and pulled those women behind him.
The girls were so frightened that they were shaking all over. The youngest one threw herself into Erxiao's arms and started crying.
Erxiao was still a virgin and could not enjoy a woman throwing herself at him. He was embarrassed at that time.
Zhao Wei had the 18 men tied up and stuffed with medicinal herbs in their mouths to prevent them from shouting.
He walked up to the girl who had been molested, saw that she only had some scratches on her body, and whispered to her to comfort her.
"Girl, don't cry, it's all over, you are safe now."
"This bad guy is right in front of you, you can do whatever you want with him..."
The girls finally came to their senses and thanked Zhao Wei repeatedly.
Then, without any hesitation, she picked up a stone from the ground and started beating the man who was harassing her.
The blow made the man scream in pain and he no longer had the ruthlessness he had just shown.
