"Our own village is fine, but the workers we recruited, especially those in our soap factory, are mostly women. I'm a little worried about their safety. If they were left alone and encountered a brutal murderer, they would definitely be in trouble."
"Guoan wife, you're absolutely right. This is the most important thing. We must ensure the safety of the workers. It's almost the end of the year, and we can't let anything go wrong."
Accountant Wu thought for a moment and said, "The dormitories at our soap factory are almost full. How about this? We still have the dormitories at the school, which were originally reserved for the children, but school doesn't start until the spring of next year. Let's vacate the school dormitories first and squeeze them in. That way, the workers can probably fit in. If that doesn't work, we can vacate the classrooms as well. They're already existing buildings anyway, so we can make a few makeshift beds out of planks as a last resort."
Zhang Degen's eyes lit up when he heard Accountant Wu's idea. "That's why I say you're so smart. That's a great idea. I'll arrange it right away. Turning the school into a temporary dormitory would be perfect. The buildings there are newly built and spacious. Besides, they've been there for two or three months, so there's no problem living there."
"We'll split up. You go hold a meeting and explain the situation to everyone in the village. I'll hold a meeting at the factory and arrange for the workers at the soap factory. After the meeting, we'll take people to clean up the school."
"Okay, let's do it."
Seeing Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu in a hurry, Li Miaomiao was thinking about her mother's family. The case in the county town was only exposed yesterday, and some people didn't know about it yet, not to mention her mother's family village, who probably didn't know about it yet.
Li Miaomiao vaguely remembered that in that book, there was a serial murder case that seemed to have occurred a little later than this time. The case was not only in the county town, but later people were panicked because of this matter, so the author also mentioned it a few times in the book.
Could the case in the book be this case?
Thinking of this, Li Miaomiao couldn't sit still anymore.
"Uncle Degen, I'm asking for leave to go to my mother's house. They don't know what's going on, so we need to take precautions early."
After hearing what Li Miaomiao said, Zhang Degen didn't know how to let Li Miaomiao go out alone at this time.
"Guoan's wife, how about this? I'll ask two people to go with you. It's not just your family, but you'll have to make a trip. We should also notify all the nearby villages. They're all relatives here, and it would be embarrassing if anything happened to anyone."
Li Miaomiao felt a little ashamed. The first thing she thought of was her family, and she had no time to consider anything else. She was a little selfish after all.
"Uncle Degen is right. I'm too narrow-minded. I'll go to the villages to find comrades right away. I don't need to find a male comrade, just find a strong woman with a hatchet for self-defense. I'll go on my bicycle, it'll be faster that way."
Li Miaomiao's bicycle was modified in the system mall. Although it looks no different on the outside, it is durable and labor-saving, and it is no problem for her to ride it on the country roads with her aunt.
If she took two men with her, Li Miaomiao would not have the patience to walk slowly on foot or in a bullock cart. At that speed, she might not be able to visit all the nearby villages in a day.
Zhang Degen agreed and thought that this arrangement was fine.
Women in the countryside often work in the fields, and those who are strong can be more useful than a strong man.
"That's fine. You can take Dongkui's wife with you. She's very strong and has learned hunting from her grandfather, so she has some skills."
Although Li Miaomiao is very strong, she looks too weak. Zhang Degen knows that Li Miaomiao is strong enough to knock down two men, but he still can't help but worry.
Dongkui’s wife is different. She is tall and looks heroic, and she looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.
Dongkui's wife was found by Zhang Degen and came to Li Miaomiao soon. Li Miaomiao was packing some things to take to her parents' home, and also brought some buns and steamed buns to eat on the way, when she saw Dongkui's wife coming.
"Sister Ying, now you're here, I'll pack up and let's go."
Dongkui's wife's real name is Zhang Ying. She is about ten years older than Li Miaomiao. Probably because she heard Zhang Degen talk about the murderer, she not only had a hatchet on her waist, but also a bow and arrow on her back, and was fully prepared.
Seeing her like this, Li Miaomiao felt a stronger sense of security than that given to her by a man, although she could give herself a sense of security.
Because there was a serial killer in the county, Li Miaomiao had taken intermediate foundation-building pills before, and felt that her current strength was enough, so she did not take advanced foundation-building pills. Otherwise, the transformation would be too thorough, and her skin would be too white and tender, and it would be very troublesome if it became bruised easily.
But in order to gain strength, Li Miaomiao bought some advanced foundation-building pills from the system mall and took them after she came back yesterday.
"Miaomiao, don't worry, I'll protect you. No matter what brutal murderer dares to come, I'll kill him with one blow!"
Zhang Ying was very happy to come and protect Li Miaomiao. She agreed immediately when the captain mentioned it. Looking at Li Miaomiao's fair and beautiful face, this was what she wanted to look like since she was a child. Unfortunately, these genes were given by her parents.
Her parents disliked her because she looked like a boy since she was a child, and they didn't think that this was the gene of their Zhang family, but it didn't stop her from liking Li Miaomiao's type.
He was white, fat and soft before, and now that he has lost weight, he is still cute and soft, which makes him so lovable.
Li Miaomiao heard Zhang Ying's words, which were cruel enough, and she liked it!
Li Miaomiao didn't say that she had a big kitchen knife in her backpack. Perhaps because she had learned intermediate cooking skills, she still felt that the kitchen knife was easier to use than the hatchet.
"Okay, Sister Ying, I'm counting on you to protect me. If the murderer dares to come, we two sisters will split him into two pieces! What a jerk! Killing people is fine, but he only targets beautiful women. I'm going to take out that thing in his crotch first!"
Even Zhang Ying's mouth twitched when Li Miaomiao said this. This girl was so obedient and soft before she spoke, but why did she sound even more fierce than her when she spoke?
But she likes it too.
Pei Guoan's young wife was exactly what she wanted.
Not only does he look like what she likes, but his personality is also similar to hers.
She likes obedient and soft little girls. She took them to play together before, but the little things would scare those little girls into crying. She didn't dare to take them to play anymore. Even if she liked them, she would just watch from afar.
Before leaving, Li Miaomiao gave Pei Yifan some instructions and specially sent Pei Yifan to Old Lady Pei to explain the reason.
"Miaomiao, don't worry, I'll take care of Xiaofan, just focus on your business."
"Mom, you must be careful." Pei Yifan also knew about the serial murders in the county at this time, and his face showed some worry. Mom is so beautiful, what if she is targeted by bad guys?
"Don't worry, your mother has me to protect her. No one can bully her." Zhang Ying patted his chest when he saw the worried look on the little guy's face.
