Secretary Lu quickly took off his hat and gloves, squatted on the ground and carefully identified them. When he saw the shoe prints clearly, his eyes became gloomy and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
In fact, Lu Zhiye already had some guesses in his mind, but they were too horrifying and not something he could handle.
So at this moment he stood there, with a wooden face, not saying a word.
After a long time, Secretary Lu put on his hat and said to Lu Zhiye, "I will report this matter to the higher authorities.
Let's go back first. I have to go to the county."
Lu Zhiye nodded, but before they turned around, gunshots were heard from the woods not far away.
In the already empty valley, the deafening sound of gunfire was like a thunderclap, striking hard in everyone's heart.
Zhou Jianbo's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.
The person he was holding accidentally fell to the ground.
"Director Zhou, what's going on?
It sounded like gunshots. Could there be survivors?
I heard that these herdsmen all have homemade guns in their hands, could it be them?"
A man shrank his neck in fear and said, "It doesn't sound like a rifle to me.
What should I do? Secretary Lu and Comrade Lu are still over there?
Should we join them? It will be safer this way."
Several people's eyes fell on Zhou Jianbo, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on Zhou Jianbo's back and palms. He rubbed his hands on his clothes and wiped his forehead: "Don't go yet.
We don't know any martial arts, and if we really encounter an emergency, we will just cause trouble for them if we go."
"Director Zhou is right. Why didn't we think of this?"
"Alas, I don't know if Secretary Liu and the other two have left?
If they haven't left yet, we can get in the car and take shelter there."
A man wearing a felt hat was stamping his feet in anxiety.
They all sit in offices all year round and rarely go to the countryside except for necessary tasks.
It is natural to be a little scared when you suddenly encounter this situation.
"I guess the two of them have left long ago. Let's carry these three people to the hillside over there.
The terrain over there is high, so we can also see clearly what is happening here in time."
Zhou Jianbo pinched his thigh hard, forced himself to calm down, and spoke in a trembling voice.
A man said reluctantly: "It's already this late, the living are in danger, can we still care about the dead?"
His meaning was very clear. Carrying these bodies with him would be a complete burden.
It would be better for them to hide first and then come back to rescue people when the situation is safe.
Zhou Jianbo had the same idea at first, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
“Look at the place we just dug, it’s now filled with snow.
If we leave them here any longer, they will chat for a few hours before the heavy snow buries them all.
In the end, nothing was left of my body, and I felt really bad about it.
Anyone who doesn’t want to go can leave first.”
As Zhou Jianbo spoke, he pulled up a man and carried him on his back.
Several people around looked at each other and sighed imperceptibly.
He raised his hand and took the body.
Zhou Jianbo also had his own thoughts. Judging from the gunshots, they were still some distance away.
What's more, Secretary Lu and Lu Zhiye were blocking the way from behind.
There won’t be any serious situations for them. If it is really a major case, then it would be a great achievement.
After several people finally reached the other side of the vent with great effort, Zhou Jianbo wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a wooden stick, and climbed to the top of the hill with great effort.
Looking carefully at the scene not far away, there was no one in the empty valley.
There was not even a shadow to be seen. Judging from the direction Secretary Lu and his men went, they should have gone into the forest on the other side of the valley.
"Shh, we shouldn't be in much danger right now, let's wait here first."
Zhou Jianbo sighed deeply, feeling a little confused.
What happened today had a huge impact on him.
At this moment, he also understood why Liu Qianjin had climbed so fast in just a few years.
Opportunities are often accompanied by dangers. Seeing him shoveling snow with his bare hands, Zhou Jianbo closed his eyes. This is a cadre who truly serves the people.
For a moment, he felt that his job as an office director was meaningless...
Meanwhile, Secretary Lu took something out of his arms and handed it to Lu Zhiye: "Go east, there is a camp over there.
You call people over, you give this to them, and they understand.”
Lu Zhiye pressed his hand and said, "Secretary Lu, I am not familiar with this place. If I go there rashly to ask for help, I might get lost.
You go, I'll stay here and I'll be careful."
Secretary Lu thought about it carefully and realized that what he said was right. He reached out and patted Lu Zhiye on the shoulder: "Be careful. If you find something wrong, evacuate immediately."
Lu Zhiye nodded in agreement. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that those shoe prints on the ground were not something that ordinary people could have.
Most of these herders wear sheepskin boots, and even if they have some anti-slip gear, they are not that deep.
There is only one possibility...
Lu Zhiye walked quickly towards the direction where the gunshots came from. Just after he ran about two kilometers, he heard some chattering sounds coming from that direction.
He climbed up the tree quickly like a nimble monkey and slipped into the space.
Not far away, groups of sheep were lying on the ground, and a boy was riding a horse, circling around the flock.
His face was red and there was a big hole in his sheepskin coat.
On the other side, a dozen men stood there holding spears.
In broken Chinese, he said: "Kill them all."
Seeing the sheep howling and making a commotion, he quickly took out his whip and hit the boy hard: "Make them quiet."
The boy shrank his body, rode his horse around the flock of sheep and shouted a few times, and the flocks of sheep immediately quieted down.
A dozen people holding daggers rushed forward quickly.
The flock of sheep fled in all directions, but were stopped by the nearest nets.
Suddenly the air was filled with the smell of blood.
The young man sitting on the horse had tears in his eyes and lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Only then did Lu Zhiye realize that there was another group of people not far away.
There were three trucks parked there. No wonder the boy, with a horse in hand, didn't dare to run at all.
Lu Zhiye quickly sorted out the general situation. At the beginning, the two young men went to ask for help. I'm afraid it wasn't these people who really encountered wind and snow.
They were surrounded by people from behind and the sheep were driven towards this side, which led to the following scene.
The clothes these people wore were similar to everyone else's, with only the boots on their feet betraying them.
Coupled with their not-so-fluent Chinese, it was easy to guess their identities.
