Simple's mind was racing. She only had a few close girlfriends, so it was impossible for her not to be anxious, not to mention her pregnancy.
Her heart skipped a beat; she feared the worst.
"Damn it, this wind is freezing! My hands are going to freeze."
wind?
Jian Dan's eyes lit up, and she spoke almost as soon as she finished speaking.
"East, wind direction!"
Lin Dongfang understood immediately, and reached out to test it.
"Downwind of the village."
Jian Dan crouched down and darted to Lin Dongfang's side.
"Spread this out,"
"good!"
"The drug works very quickly; as soon as the person collapses, we act immediately."
Ling Weidong also came over from the side.
"Okay, Jianjun, Qiancheng, Yuanye, you guys are fast. Uncle Han, you'll follow along with the group behind us. The rest of us will chase after the one in front."
Second Master, Third Master, you shouldn't follow them. If any escapees get away, you two stay here and hold them off.
"Alright, take them down, put away their weapons, then search them. Be very careful; they seem to have no scruples at all, so they might be desperate criminals."
"Okay, then, Xiao Jian, what about you?"
Jian Dan held two daggers in her hand, her tone calm.
"I'll go ahead; I'm worried about Sister Yan."
"By the way, Third Master, we'll definitely need to find a doctor later, oxcart."
The old man waved his hand.
"I know, I know, go quickly, that child has suffered terribly."
"It's falling over!"
Sure enough, the people who were supporting each other swayed and fell down. The one holding the gun also couldn't hold on and quickly fell on top of them. Because of the distance and the wind, the sound of the gun hitting the ground didn't even reach them.
After waiting another minute, and seeing no further movement, the group exchanged glances and dashed off like arrows.
The people in front were very smug, and they deliberately made quite a commotion when they entered the village. Li Yan on the ground was also jostled quite a bit, but she didn't make a sound at all.
Jian Dan and his group moved very quickly. They didn't realize something was wrong until the wind reached the back of their heads. By the time they turned around, it was too late. Jian Dan stabbed them in the back with a knife and then punched them in the head. They fell to the ground, seeing stars.
Several men stepped forward to tie up the person, and Jian Dan hurriedly went to check on Li Yan.
"Sister Yan, Sister Yan,"
"How about it?"
"Faint breath,"
The simple space contained all kinds of medicine, but she didn't know anything about medicine and dared not give her anything to eat. She could only grope around and sneakily stuff a piece of ginseng into her mouth when no one was looking.
Seeing that both sides had succeeded, several old men quickly ran over, and Master Liu immediately sent one of the younger men to harness the oxcart.
"Hurry up!"
Soon, the oxcart arrived, and several people hurriedly lifted the person onto it. Tan Yajun, Wei Shujuan, and Su Hong, who had come after hearing the commotion, also climbed on. Jian Dan was worried, but Tan Yajun refused.
"We're with you. You should go back and check on the children. Are they terrified?"
She paused briefly, realizing she'd completely forgotten in her haste. Now, she had a family to support. Seeing Liu Aiguo follow her upstairs, she nodded.
"Okay, Chen Jianguo was also seriously injured. Sister Yajun, come and find me if you need anything."
Tan Yajun looked at Li Yan with heartache in her eyes. Life had finally started to get a little better, and then this happened.
The oxcart then headed straight for the commune.
Turning back, seeing that the crisis had passed, the villagers all ran out, with her child at the front, rushing over in a hurry.
"Sis, sis, are you alright?"
"Sister, where are the bad guys?"
He hugged them one by one, and Jian Dan also took a good look at them.
Are you alright?
"It's okay, sis, Jixiang and the others protected us. Hey? Where are Jixiang and the others?"
"Ah, help!"
"Woof woof woof..."
"Woof woof woof..."
"Sister, that's Ruyi and Ping'an calling,"
Not only Jian Dan, but others also noticed. The villagers were now in a state of panic, and as they watched Jian Dan stride away, they all followed behind.
In the middle of the village, without noticing whose yard it was, a man was huddled up, desperately trying to avoid the large dog above him.
The three of them, Ruyi, squatted nearby, watching them intently.
"Good fortune, everything goes well, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing the sound, the big dog wagged its tail and happily went over, standing beside Jian Dan and barking wildly at the man, occasionally glancing back at the person who had just been tied up.
The villagers who came along looked at this and that.
"What does this mean? Are this person and these two in cahoots?"
"Woof!"
He hadn't expected the big dog to respond to him.
"Huh? Does he mean I guessed right?"
Normally, people might laugh it off, but right now, with everyone so uneasy, who would be in the mood for that?
"Old Han, take a look and see who that person is?"
Liu Weimin was furious; they wouldn't stop talking.
This man was clearly a coward; he started yelling as soon as Old Han touched him.
"Don't bite me, don't bite me, boohoo, I was wrong, I shouldn't have come,"
Old Han simply stopped bothering with him and just asked this question.
"What did you do wrong?"
"Don't blame me, it's all my sister's fault. My mom asked her to get me money to get married, but she insisted, 'There are educated youth in your village whose homes aren't here. If we bring one back, we'll save money.' Waaah, I didn't want to come. I told them when we were drinking, but they insisted on coming. Waaah, it's really not my fault, I didn't want to..."
The scene was completely silent.
Old Han was so angry he almost kicked him. He roughly grabbed the man by the back of his collar, lifted him up, and threw him away.
Ouch!
"Look at this, whose little brat is this?"
"Isn't this Guoping, isn't this your brother-in-law?"
Liu Guoping blushed deeply when he was questioned. He recognized the voice just now, but he never imagined it was from one of his own people.
His sister? Isn't that his wife?
Immediately, Liu Guoping was so angry that he spun around on the spot.
He's a henpecked husband, practically obeying his wife's every word. He's always believed that if he treats his wife well, the family will be well. He's seen how his wife has treated his younger brother over the years, but he thinks his brother is a grown man, and these are all minor things, nothing to worry about. Besides, they're all family, so there's no need to be so calculating.
They just kept turning a blind eye.
It wasn't until recently, when his younger brother went directly to the village chief and forcefully demanded a division of the family property, that he suddenly realized that his brother had become estranged from him, and the family seemed to be falling apart.
He knew his wife was very unhappy about her brother's division of the family property. So many work points were divided up, and the work points she earned in the future wouldn't be able to help the family. Because of this, she often complained and grumbled at home, but he didn't care.
Who would have thought that someone would actually dare to have such an idea? He knew very well that his wife specifically mentioned the educated youth because she looked down on his younger brother's wife; she was trying to cause trouble and embarrass the educated youth.
But how could she dare to do that?
