"Yes, yes, there are still people in the village. They are probably divided into two groups. One group came to chase us, and the other group was putting out the fire in the village. They are probably still in the village. We can't let them escape." Liu Guizhu nodded and spoke after listening to Jiang Xia's words.
"Can I go back with you? I'll identify some people who were abducted into the village and beaten to death. I know where their bodies are buried." Qin Zhen stepped forward and spoke. Her voice was very low. She pulled her clothes closer. It was obvious that she was a little afraid of men now. She glanced at Jiang Xia when she said this.
"They should go home too." Qin Zhen said in a low voice, referring to the dead women.
"Zhao Yuan, you take Xia Xia and the other female volunteers back first. Send someone to carry those who are injured and unable to walk down the mountain. Contact Director Zhao and the others by telegram to let them know their location." After listening to what these people said, Lu Yuanting nodded and gave orders immediately.
"First, tie these people to the trees and send one or two people to watch them. When Director Zhao's men arrive, we will escort them together. The remaining men will follow us to the village and capture the rest." Lu Yuanting said.
After saying this, he touched Jiang Xia's face gently.
"Wait for me first." Lu Yuanting said.
Zhao Yuan understood what he meant and stepped forward immediately, ready to carry Jiang Xia down the mountain to protect him.
"Can I go with them? They feel insecure, and they will feel more at ease with my presence. Maybe I can help in some way." Jiang Xia shook his head.
While Jiang Xia was speaking, she glanced at Liu Guizhu and Qin Zhen. They were obviously afraid of men. Although they knew that the soldiers who came to rescue them were Chinese, they were still men after all, and they were more or less repulsed and afraid. They would feel more at ease with her around.
"䗽." Lu Yuanting listened to Jiang Xia's words, glanced at Jiang Xia, and confirmed that Jiang Xia was indeed in good condition. He was just tired and had some scratches on his body, but he was not injured and nothing would happen. Then he nodded.
Lu Yuanting held Jiang Xia in his arms and led the group to re-track the location of the village.
The fire in the village was burning very fiercely. Now almost half of the village was in flames. When Lu Yuanting and his friends passed by, these people were desperately trying to put out the fire and rescue valuables from their houses.
"You wait here." Lu Yuanting did not let Jiang Xia and the others get close. He gently put Jiang Xia down, left someone to protect the girl, and then led his comrades to quickly go over to the place, ready to subdue and tie up the man.
Most of the people in the village had chased out of the cave. Not many villagers stayed here to put out the fire and rescue valuables. In terms of number, their numbers were much greater than the people Lu Yuanting brought with him, but it was not difficult for the professionally trained soldiers from the army to deal with them. They fell down in a few moves and were temporarily tied up with hemp ropes and thrown aside.
In a few seconds, the people in the village lay on the ground wailing.
The only one left was the sixty-year-old old lady of the Zhang family. She had been beaten by Jiang Xia before and was now leaning on a crutch with her legs shaking. Her face was pale and her voice was trembling as she looked at Lu Yuanting and others who entered the village.
"We are all honest farmers who don't do bad things. Are you mistaken? What are you doing? Our house was burned down by these girls, and instead of arresting the arsonists, you arrested us."
The old lady of the Zhang family never thought that one day her old nest would be destroyed.
"䀲志, please untie us. We are really honest people." The old lady of the Zhang family said.
