"You guys don't have to go. Stay here. Let us go and take a look." Jiang He stopped Zhao Xiaoxue who was about to move, and gave a wink to Lu Mingfeng and Yang Guojun. The three of them immediately followed the direction Liu Chunyi had just gone.
Liu Chun and his men hurried to the Dead Man's Ditch. When they arrived, they found that the place was full of villagers. Everyone was whispering and looked worried. A woman was holding a pair of flowered shoes and crying loudly, "Erniu..."
Seeing the village chief coming, everyone hurriedly made way.
"What is going on? Don't cry, Erniu's mother. Where is your husband?" Liu Chun asked the villagers.
"Shi Tou, with a hunting rifle, and several members of his family and the educated youth Gao just went in." One of the villagers said quickly.
Liu Chun's face changed. "Why didn't you stop them?"
"We tried to stop them, but we couldn't! Besides, Shitou just said that it's not their own child that we don't feel sorry for, so it's not easy for us to stop them!" The villager who had just spoken felt a little unhappy after being rebuked by Liu Chun.
Jiang He and Lu Mingfeng looked at each other and were about to go into the woods, but were stopped by Liu Chunyi. "What are you doing?"
"Youhui is my good brother. I can't let them take risks." Jiang He looked anxious. He pushed Liu Chun away with all his strength, causing him to stagger. Everyone thought he was just worrying too much.
Liu Chunyi shook his head and said, "No, you can't go in. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it to the higher-ups."
"I can't care about so many things now." Jiang He turned his wrist and took the hunting rifle from a villager, then rushed into the dense forest. Lu Mingfeng also took the gun from another villager and followed him in. Yang Guojun originally wanted to go in as well, but after receiving a look from Lu Mingfeng, he suppressed the impulse.
"Village chief, why don't I go too?" Liu Xi walked out of the crowd and looked at Jiang He and Lu Mingfeng's backs as they left, his eyes becoming more and more profound.
"You..." Liu Chun was about to speak when he was stopped by Yang Guojun, "Uncle Liu Xi, you are already so old, you should stop going into the woods. It would be bad if you can't help and cause trouble."
"That's right! Liu Xi, don't get involved. You are so old. If you get into an accident again, what will happen to your wife and children at home? I think young people have good physical strength and good eyesight. They will definitely be able to handle the problem better." At this time, Aunt Jinhua was standing in the crowd and speaking very convincingly.
"Yes. Uncle Liu Xi, you shouldn't go in." Many people followed suit to persuade him.
Liu Xi looked at Yang Guojun with increasingly complicated eyes, but unfortunately the other party's eyes revealed concern from beginning to end, which made people not doubt at all.
The people around also saw it and were wondering if they had gone too far in the past. It seemed that there was no need to bear grudges against these educated youth in the future. Didn’t they see that when educated youth Gao heard that something happened to a child in the village, he immediately ran into the woods without saying a word?
Seeing this, Liu Xi couldn't continue talking, so he could only say, "In that case, we will stay here and wait for those young people to come back."
Liu Chunhao watched the two men playing games from the corner of his eye and said calmly, "Well, we'll wait here first. If it's really not working, we'll send someone in." After saying that, he looked at Aunt Jinhua beside him, only to see that she still had a sad face, so he said nothing more.
