"The Japanese have entered the mountains...entered the mountains...everyone put your things away."
A few people who had been waiting at the village entrance heard the working group's voice and immediately ran into the village to inform the villagers. Everyone was prepared, because those people coming here would not be able to leave so easily.
"Hurry up... hurry up... hurry up and clean up the house. Have those things been hidden?"
Every household, as if they were at war, took inventory of everything they saw or thought of. They didn't want to leave any evidence in the hands of outsiders. The plundering task force wasn't easily fooled; they had to be prepared.
"Captain Chen, you're the ones leading the team here today. Come... come... have a cigarette! The county magistrate gave it to me last time I went to the county for a meeting!"
The village chief waited for the work group at the door, exchanging pleasantries with them. There was nothing he could do; this was the way the world was. He spoke human language to humans, but lied to ghosts.
"Village Chief Shen, we won't play tricks. It wasn't easy coming here, and the road here is really too remote."
"That's right...that's right, no wonder they are so poor." The female comrade at the side glanced at the shabby village chief Shen wearing patched clothes and complained.
"This Xiashan Village is really poor..."
"Let's go! Let's go! Let's finish the examination quickly. I want to go home..."
The group looked around with disdain, knowing full well that it was impossible to make money in such a poor place. However, it was not easy to come here this time, so they had to take something back... Humph... a bunch of poor guys, no wonder they stayed at home.
"you……"
When Shen Chenfeng heard this, he looked at the impulsive tribesmen around him with a warning. Don't be impulsive. Although they are not afraid, there is no need to impulsively show off just for these people's complaints.
"Brother Chen... look at how pretentious they are. They don't even take a mirror to look at themselves."
"Tsk... They really make me hate them. These bastards, if you can, don't fall into my hands."
"That's right...that's right...we endured it this time, but if they behave the same way down there, I won't endure it anymore. I'm going to put a sack on them and beat them up."
The people nearby couldn't help but cast a sinister glance at the group, already determined to teach them a lesson. Don't think they didn't know what these bastards were up to. They came here under the guise of a working group, but what they were really after? Fortunately, they'd prepared well in advance, and fortunately, they all knew not to show off their wealth. They'd deliberately chosen to wear the tatteredest clothes and use the shabbiest tools today.
"What's wrong with these people? Aren't they doing anything? Why are they just standing here?"
The leading female comrade looked at the villagers who were watching the excitement and couldn't help but glare at Village Chief Shen. Don't think they can be lazy just because they are here for inspection today. These people are destined to be poor all their lives.
"The working group is here, and I wanted to gather all the villagers here to listen to your teachings. We have been born into poverty for three lifetimes and firmly support the Party and the Lord. We listen to everything the Lord says."
"A heart devoted to the Chairman..."
Quotations were shouted out one after another, and everyone rushed to express their loyalty. The villagers' slogans were so loud that the working group members looked grim, but they didn't dare to stop them. At this time, any expression of dissatisfaction would only exacerbate the conflict.
"Hehe... I guess those working groups are too busy to take care of themselves."
"It should be like this. Otherwise, if we give those people face, who will give us a chance to live?"
"Well, those people took everything from our neighboring village last time."
"They are nothing, just a bunch of beasts."
The villagers spat and looked with disdain at the work group that had been surrounded in the distance. Their village was not afraid of these people. They were united and rational enough to know what they could and could not do.
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, have you put away those ancient books in your house?"
"It's put away. We've already put it away. Don't worry!"
He gestured to everyone, and they all nodded. They understood the current situation. They had already moved out little by little when Brother Chen mentioned that things were changing outside, not daring to stay at home. Furthermore, having witnessed the madness outside, they were afraid and didn't dare to cause trouble for their families.
"That's good, that's good..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were all related and no one wanted anything to happen to the people around them.
"Village Chief Shen, shouldn't you also stop those villagers? We came here with a mission, please don't let us fail to complete the mission."
"Captain Chen, we in Xiashan Village are the most obedient to our leadership. I've already issued a notice to all villagers to strictly follow it. Don't worry, you can check it carefully. If there are any problems, we will correct them promptly."
"snort……"
The people around him looked at Village Chief Shen with disdain. This old man had no knowledge or tact at all. No wonder he had been hanging around in this mountain village all this time.
"Check...check...everyone please step back, otherwise you will be obstructing us."
"Every household must be checked. Let's start from the village entrance." Captain Chen glared angrily and scolded the villagers around him.
"Village Chief Shen, lead the way!"
The inspection team glanced at Village Chief Shen sideways, while holding the notebook in their hands, the Little Red Book, and the portrait of the Chairman on their chests, showing their pride and their status.
They went through each household and checked carefully, but found no contraband. This disappointed the working group, which had originally intended to discipline these villagers. They had not expected this group of people to be so cunning, and the working group felt extremely frustrated.
"Haha... look at their faces, they're really ugly."
"That's right, that's right. Their expressions are good enough to put on a big show."
The villagers applauded, for they hated this group of people the most. They looked decent but did disgusting things.
"Captain, these people obviously have a backup plan and are on guard against us."
"That's right, that's right, they are just guarding against us."
Several members of the nearby work group gathered before Captain Chen. They couldn't believe they couldn't find anything. Humph... they must have known they were coming and were on guard. This time, they found nothing, and going back like this, covered in dust and dirt, was truly embarrassing.
"You think I don't know? But we're in Xiashan Village now, so we can't do anything."
Captain Chen motioned to his companions to look at these villagers, who were all following them and staring at them, fearing their actions.
