In the second half of the night, when it was the turn of the other two soldiers to be on duty, Zhang Meng and others who were immersed in their sleep were woken up by them.
"Captain Gu, something's happening." Gu Mingtai immediately climbed up from the leaves and walked out, followed by the others who walked out together.
At this time, they saw countless fire spots moving in the Zhenjie Village, which was still dark.
"Captain Gu, what's going on? Could it be that the village is on fire?" Mo Xiaobei looked nervously at Gu Mingtai, who was pursing his lips.
In the dark night, Gu Mingtai narrowed his eyes. "It's not a fire. They are going somewhere with torches. Let's pack up quickly and follow them to see if we can find any clues."
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately started to pack up everything here.
When they caught up, they found that the people holding torches were all elderly people and some young men, but there was not a single woman in the group.
When the six people who were following them from a distance saw this situation, they had to be extremely alert and keep up.
After following for half an hour, they found themselves in a cemetery.
Li Chunlai lowered his voice, but could not hide his excitement. "Captain Gu, this is it. We got lost here when we first came in. I didn't expect that this place really needs the guidance of the villagers here to enter."
Gu Mingtai's face darkened slightly, and he shot him an unhappy look, "Shut up and watch."
Li Chunlai, with a happy face, was so scared that he almost choked on the saliva in his mouth. He spit out forcefully before swallowing it back into his stomach. He didn't dare to make any more noises and lay quietly in the bushes, watching the actions of the group of people in front.
The next strange scene was that after these people finished burning incense, three young men came over, holding a young girl with her hands and feet tied.
The three of them walked up to the old man who had met Zhang Meng and the others not long ago and said a few words. The old man waved his hand, and the three of them immediately pushed the young girl in their hands into a well-dug pit in front of them.
"Gu Mingtai, they are trying to kill people. Let's kill them quickly." Seeing that the girl had been buried in the mud by those people, Zhang Meng pulled the motionless man in front of her.
Gu Mingtai's face was gloomy. Just as he opened his mouth, a woman's voice suddenly rang out from behind them, "You can't go through."
The six people were startled by the sudden sound and turned to look behind them at the same time.
"Don't stay here. They will find you soon. There are terrible things in that place. Come with me quickly."
This woman was also the young woman they had met not long ago, the old man's wife.
"It's you." With the light of dawn already fading, Zhang Meng quickly saw the woman in front of him.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I will even help you deal with these poor women of ours." After leaving behind these inexplicable words, the woman seemed very scared and turned around and left.
Zhang Meng looked at Gu Mingtai, who was squinting his eyes, and asked him, "Gu Mingtai, what should we do now?"
"Let's follow and see." As for the woman who had just been tied up, he turned his head and took a look, a dark light flashed in his eyes. If he saw it correctly, the old man seemed to have stuffed something into her mouth. Even if she was rescued, she would not be able to be saved.
Zhang Meng glanced back at the group, hesitation flashing in her eyes. Finally, when Gu Mingtai shook hands with her, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Gu Mingtai smiled, took her hand and chased after the woman who was about to walk away.
Li Chunlai and the other four naturally listened to Gu Mingtai, because before entering the village, their leader had told them to consult Gu Mingtai first in everything and not to make decisions on their own, otherwise they would be dealt with according to military discipline when they returned.
Led by the woman, they arrived at a house. When they arrived, the door was already open.
Six people walked in one after another, immediately scaring the group of women waiting inside.
"Sisters, these are the PLA comrades I told you about. They are here to rescue us." The woman who had just brought them here spoke to the group of women behind her.
"Comrade PLA, please save us. We don't want to stay here. If we stay here, we will die."
One of the women suddenly rushed over and ran to Gu Mingtai's feet, shedding tears of fear and despair.
Gu Mingtai frowned slightly. Zhang Meng quickly stepped forward and helped the kneeling woman up. "Sister, let's talk it out. Don't kneel down all the time."
The woman wiped her tears and apologized sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I was just too anxious."
"Yes, comrades of the People's Liberation Army, we were too anxious. We thought we would die here in this life, but we didn't expect to see you coming into the village." The speaker was still the woman who had just brought them here.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Hong Xiu Lian. The people here are just like me. They were abducted by human traffickers and brought here to be someone's wife." Hong Xiu Lian explained calmly.
The women then provided a lot of useful information. It turned out that this village was just as Gu Mingtai had described. The men there, whether cursed or afflicted with some strange disease, would slowly age after the age of 25. This aging process was also very short. In just four or five years, they would become full-haired, old men who looked seventy or eighty years old.
