Seeing the entire village bathed in the last glimmer of sunset, she breathed a sigh of relief. The mountain blocked most of the afterglow, making the village seem much more tranquil in the backlight. Compared to when she left that morning, the village was indeed much quieter now.
Of course, the village was not silent. Many people were watering the houses and floors, so it was quite lively. But it was much better than the mess at noon.
The criminals seemed to have been caught, so there were no random people coming in and out.
Even the villagers on the mountain were fewer in number, probably having moved to the cave on the other side of the mountain. However, judging by the current situation, they would probably be back tomorrow.
Fortunately, everything was under control. Zhang Xingrong quickly followed everyone into the village and started working.
The young men in the village also came back, and many women also came back. Everyone was filling buckets with water and pouring it over every place. It was said that this would destroy the gunpowder and they could slowly find it later.
Overall, the situation in the village is now under control. In fact, during the final stages of the operation, Lu Ran and Wei Junci met up to assign personnel. Since Wei Junci knew the village well, he had them conduct a final search to ensure nothing was missed. However, one or two criminals were indeed hiding in a well-hidden corner of the village, causing trouble.
Fortunately, Wei Junci had traveled around the village with his friends when he was a child, and was very familiar with the situation in the village. He found the people in time and stopped the two criminals.
After finally catching the two criminals, the entire village was basically under control.
Only then did he notify the young people in the village to come back and help water the plants.
Under the setting sun, the village was bustling with activity. Walking inside, Zhang Xingrong felt as if she were in another world. When she came here yesterday, the scene was quite different.
Back then, the village seemed peaceful and tranquil, but in reality, there was a turbulent undercurrent that made people feel uneasy. But today, the whole village is different. The liveliness and peace are radiant from within, and everyone is radiantly happy.
After surviving the disaster, everyone was extremely happy and worked very hard. Some people even recognized Zhang Xingrong and came forward to apologize.
Zhang Xingrong didn't care about these things. She just wanted to see how Lu Ran was doing. Although Lu Ran wanted to be a woman and it would be convenient for him to do so, he was worried about accidents because the criminals were extremely vicious.
Fortunately, with the help of the people in the village, Zhang Xingrong finally saw Lu Ran after turning two alleys.
Although the man still wore peasant makeup and hadn't had time to change his clothes, presumably because he was too busy, he rolled up his sleeves and carried the bucket, revealing his muscular arms. Sweat still covered his arms, and veins were visible from the exertion. Yet, even so, he looked relaxed, chatting and laughing with his teammates.
Because of their attire, they were often teased and laughed at by others, but they didn't care and just went back with the others.
Zhang Xingrong didn't go forward. She just wanted to see how the person was doing. If he was okay, she would be happy. If he was in trouble, she would not be able to accept it, nor would she be able to explain it to her grandfather.
"Rong Ya!"
But she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, she heard Lu Ran's shouting from behind.
Lu Ran didn't expect Zhang Xingrong to come.
