Chapter 318 Operation
"They are my friends." The word "friends" made the person in charge a little dizzy.
Are humans and animals friends?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought the man was crazy, just spouting nonsense. But now, he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Comrade, I think..."
He was speechless, unsure of what he wanted to do.
He didn't know what he wanted to say anymore.
This scene is truly extraordinary.
The person in charge took a deep breath: "Can we let these animals leave?" With such a commotion, they still had a mission to complete, and the person in charge was really afraid that those people would discover the commotion and the mission would fail.
Although Little Peach Blossom was reluctant, she knew the other party was right, so she could only pat the big tiger's head to comfort him.
The tiger snorted and gave the person in charge a somewhat unfriendly look, who immediately dared not move.
If it pounces...
However, the things he had imagined did not happen. The big tiger wagged its tail, turned around, and walked away, looking back every few steps. Besides the big tiger, the other animals did the same, truly reluctant to leave. Even though they were not human, one could glean from their actions that they were particularly unwilling to go.
If the scene weren't so inappropriate, this group of people would have burst out laughing.
Who can resist animals being cute?
And it was all unconscious.
Without a threat to life, any act of weakness will make people want to pet it from the bottom of their hearts...
Once all the animals had disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The timing and location were wrong. No matter how shocked they were, they couldn't afford to pay any more attention. The person in charge simply told Xiao Taohua, "Don't run around or act on your own," and then disappeared again with his men.
Xiao Peichuan also had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he and Xiao Taohua simply hid in the dense mountain forest.
This wasn't a pleasant experience. It wasn't camping, there was nowhere to lie down comfortably, and you even had to worry about someone coming over, so you were constantly on edge.
Fortunately, it got dark soon.
"We will act at midnight. Before that, I hope the two of you will not make any noise."
Actually, he wanted Xiao Taohua and Xiao Peichuan to stay out of it.
"Thank you, we understand." These were the words spoken by Xiao Peichuan.
The person in charge nodded, glanced at Little Peach Blossom, and then left again.
Time flies by, yet it also seems to drag on; midnight arrives slowly.
Once the order was given, the person in charge led his team to take swift action.
The road was invisible in the darkness, let alone in the mountains and forests, but this group had their own way of finding their way. They moved silently and without making a sound. If it weren't for Xiao Taohua's extraordinary intuition and her knowledge that they were moving at midnight, she probably wouldn't have noticed anything around her.
After everyone else left, only Xiao Taohua and her companion remained in the forest.
"Don't act impulsively. Whether you can save someone or not, you must prioritize your own safety."
"Yes, I will." Little Peach Blossom nodded.
"Then let's go over there, slowly."
Actually, Xiao Taohua really wanted to tell Xiao Peichuan to stay here, but she decided against it.
They are a perfect couple, sharing both good times and bad.
If you really encounter danger, well, go find Grandpa Tiandao.
Yes, she still has powerful backers.
Thinking of this, Little Peach Blossom lifted her feet with a somewhat proud and arrogant air.
Xiao Peichuan: ...
What can he do when his wife is so fierce? Of course, he'll just have to play along.
Everything in the village was the same as usual, even with the addition of a woman.
They patrolled when they were supposed to, ate and drank when they were supposed to, and even when they were supposed to sleep, they weren't idle.
Some who wanted pleasure went to remote places, while others who didn't just slept soundly in their little houses.
Anyway, their village is secluded, and no one has really tried to deal with them over the years, so they are very stable in terms of mentality.
This allowed the people in charge to enter very easily without alerting anyone, and even if they were alerted, the situation was quickly resolved.
A few croaking frogs broke the silence of the village; the sounds were somewhat shrill, but soon a response came from other voices.
"It's so hot in the summer, all I hear are frogs croaking. Can't anyone get any sleep?" A man's rough voice came from one of the wooden houses.
"Hey, it's good that the sound is loud, otherwise you'd have to listen to those people 'uh-huh' and 'ah-ah'."
"Hey kid, you're always spouting dirty talk. Where are the women you two brought back today?"
"What? You're interested? Even if you are, it's no use. She's someone else's wife. It seems like the higher-ups value her quite a bit and want to groom her for a future role."
"What's the point of training an outsider? What about us insiders?"
"Qiu Sheng, your tone is so sarcastic. Don't you know what the higher-ups mean? It's best to open up channels to other places for these outsiders. Otherwise, we'll still be stuck in this small territory. The higher-ups have much bigger ambitions than we do."
"Yes, I overheard something, and it seems things have calmed down up there now. With things calming down, they'll have more time to deal with us. We don't know when, but it's always good to be prepared. We just want to continue living peacefully."
"Alright, that's enough, only you guys know!"
"I'm just afraid you'll get jealous and make a move. If that happens, you'll be the one who suffers."
"Go away, do you think I'm that kind of person? Let's drink!"
"Yes, yes, you're not that kind of person. Come on, let's drink!"
"Let's have a go!"
"Captain?" someone whispered from outside.
"Let's leave that for now and head to Hongli's place to meet up."
"yes."
Someone came by, but no one inside noticed.
Soon, Hongli heard the noise.
His door was still locked. With a click, the locked door was opened from the outside. Someone opened the door and then quickly closed it.
"The night is lovely."
"Full moon."
"Hongli."
"team leader."
Meanwhile, Yao Yu quickly made contact with the newcomers, and the group began to act according to the original plan.
Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed throughout the entire village.
"What happened?"
Everyone who heard the noise immediately came out.
Then, a man with the previous voice roared angrily, "You damned bitch! I'll beat you to death!"
"Let's disperse, let's disperse. That voice belongs to Zhuangzi. He must have done something again. If you ask me, he'll die on a woman's belly sooner or later."
"But this woman today is no pushover."
"Haha, it's good that they're not easy to deal with. Let's see if the stake will suffer a loss."
They didn't care about Zhuangzi's fate or the woman's. Hearing the voice belong to Zhuangzi, and remembering his usual behavior, the previously wary crowd relaxed their guard and went back to their usual routines. The commotion had made them think something terrible had happened, that their village was under attack.
It wasn't a big deal, so it wasn't worth worrying about. Then, the next moment, everyone could hear the woman's shrill scream, which was much more shrill than the stake's scream.
It seems that the woman is likely to meet a bad end today.
