The three little paper figures came back to report the news in just half an incense stick of time, but Ling Shuang was still standing there without moving.
The little paper man climbed up by holding onto Ling Shuang's legs, and in a few seconds he climbed onto Ling Shuang's shoulders. Several little mouths moved at the same time, chattering and vying to report.
“So noisy!”
Ling Shuang asked them to speak one by one. The three little paper figures were silent for a moment, but within three seconds, they started chattering again at the same time.
It took a long time for Ling Shuang to retrieve useful information.
Judging from the attire of the group of people described by the little paper man, there should be many policemen, and the remaining group of plainclothes people of varying ages are most likely the families of the women who were abducted to this village and whom she had previously notified by telegram or phone in Beijing.
In addition, there were a few people carrying cameras and wearing glasses. If Ling Shuang guessed correctly, they should be media people.
And it seems that the original body's four sons were also among this group of people, and they all came together.
Since they are all family, there is no need to hide. Ling Shuang stuffed the paper man into his pocket and turned around to walk towards the team he led.
The little paper people were restless. They poked their little heads out of their pockets, and their three pairs of small eyes looked at the world curiously.
Returning to the group, Ling Shuang said to the women, "I just checked. They're the police. They should be here to pick us up. We can rest here for a while, drink some water, feed the child, and wait for them."
As for the fact that there were relatives of the sisters present among the visitors, she did not mention it for the time being in order to avoid unnecessary confusion.
After a long while, the team with torches finally got closer and closer, and the other party also saw the group of women and children who suddenly appeared on the mountain.
The leading officer, a square-faced officer, stepped forward with a righteous expression and asked, "Fellow villagers, why are you staying here? Are you encountering any difficulties?"
The women who came out of the village had stood up long ago. When they saw the police standing in front of them, they looked very excited, but they all turned their eyes to the backbone, old lady Ling Shuang who rescued them.
Ling Shuang smiled as he stepped forward, extended his right hand, and shook hands with the square-faced officer before saying, "Comrade Officer, are you here in Yuling Village to rescue abducted women?"
The square-faced police officer was stunned when he heard this, and his hand subconsciously fell on the pistol at his waist. He didn't say anything, but looked carefully at the old lady in front of him who was wearing local ethnic costumes but spoke with a northeastern accent.
"Who are you?"
Ling Shuang smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Officer. My purpose is the same as yours. Moreover, those telegrams and phone calls to notify the families of the abducted women were all sent by me. I also leaked the information to the Anti-trafficking Office, the media, newspapers, and television stations, as well as your police station.
It’s just that I was one step faster than you.”
The reporters holding cameras nearby heard it clearly, and some of them were alert and had already taken out their cameras, turned on the flashlights, and started taking pictures of the crowd.
The square-faced officer breathed a sigh of relief. He asked happily, "What's your last name? What's your name?"
Ling Shuang: "My surname is Feng, Feng Su'e."
The police officer clapped his hands, and finally felt relieved after confirming the identity. He belatedly pointed at the women and children around him and cautiously asked Ling Shuang, "Are they...?"
Ling Shuang nodded. In fact, all the abducted women in Yuling Village who were still alive should be here. But she couldn't reveal her source, so she told the police, "Time is limited. We can only rescue these twenty or so people. We're not sure if there are any others left. You, the public security organs, will need to further verify and handle this."
The square-faced policeman was about to inquire further about the situation in Yuling Village and Ling Shuang's process of rescuing the abducted women, but the two groups of people who had joined together heard heart-wrenching cries, interrupting their conversation.
It turned out that relatives were constantly recognizing each other. The young women could hardly speak, but just hugged their families tightly and cried, venting their sorrow and joy at being reunited after a long separation and surviving a disaster.
Their relatives also hugged them tightly and were unwilling to let go, as if if they let go, their lost daughters would disappear again.
There were people on both sides who had not found their relatives. The abducted women from Yuling Village were naturally a little disappointed and kept crying. Those who came to look for their relatives but did not see them were anxious and kept asking if anyone had seen their daughters (sisters).
In the end, 10 out of more than 40 police officers were assigned to work with the people who had found their relatives to escort all the women and children from Yuling Village to the provincial public security bureau.
In addition, more than 30 criminal police officers, a dozen reporters, and the family members of the missing woman who had not found their relatives, set out again under the leadership of Ling Shuang, heading towards Yuling Village.
The original body's four sons didn't even have the chance to say a few words to their mother before they were hurriedly told to take good care of their sister and nephews and nieces, and wait for her to reunite in the provincial capital, and then they dispersed again.
It seemed as if everyone didn't know what fatigue was. Seventy or eighty people, holding torches, walked along the mountain road with high spirits. After more than four hours, they arrived at the entrance of Yuling Village.
