Upon hearing that tone, Jian Dan had a bad feeling and immediately became vigilant.
"Stop! What's wrong? I've been staying home and haven't caused any trouble lately!"
Lin Zhengde, “…”
"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
What I'm trying to say is that we're not as familiar with these deep mountains as you are. These new recruits are all inexperienced. Could you please come with us and help us set things in order?
With your brother gone, one of us, Lao Cheng and I, has to stay behind. I'm not sure if I can take care of them all by myself.
in addition,"
Lin Zhengde took a few steps closer and lowered his voice.
"You and your family, Jixiang and the others, those dogs, well, they're always running around in the mountains. If we run into them, with you here, at least we'll have some face, right?"
oh!
I understand, they're afraid of encountering that wolf!
It was simple and clear. Looking at Lin Zhengde's embarrassed expression and those unfamiliar and inexperienced young soldiers, it was understandable.
Besides, aside from the cold, she quite enjoys going up the mountain. She always finds something worthwhile, and there are often pleasant surprises along the way.
"Okay, no problem. Just have someone come and call me when the time comes."
Watching them leave, Lin Zhengde immediately led his men to clean up the scene.
"Are all the weapons stored away? Quickly find the bullets and check them."
They covered the bloodstains, half the men remained on guard, and the others moved the people and wild boar down the mountain to await reinforcements.
The order was obeyed without question, and action was taken immediately.
Simple and easy, carrying baskets on their backs, came down the mountain. They encountered a group of militiamen led by Old Han at the foot of the mountain, and Liu Jianshe, who looked anxious. Upon seeing them, they all came to greet them.
"You got down? Did you encounter any danger?"
"Did you hear that sound?"
Looking from this direction, the village is quiet, and there's no movement from the nearby cowsheds either; they've probably all hidden away.
"We're fine. We just ran into the Public Security Bureau and Commander Lin. Commander Lin asked us to tell the village chief that there will be military exercises on the mountain, and the mountain will be closed for a while. He told everyone not to go up the mountain or get close to the foot of the mountain. Of course, there's no need to panic."
"What exactly happened on that mountain? Why did we hear gunshots? Are there spies or secret agents?"
This has a very obvious gossipy connotation. We don't know what they're thinking, but for some inexplicable reason, we just don't want them to know so much.
Perhaps it was because her gaze suddenly turned cold that Liu Jianshe reacted quickly, turning around and scolding her.
"What nonsense are you spouting? With the military around, how can you make wild guesses about such things?"
"I... I was just curious, wasn't I?"
I gave it a quick, cursory glance.
"I'm also quite curious. Why are you so concerned about these things? What are your true intentions?"
When others hear gunshots, their first reaction is fear and defensiveness.
And what about you?
"You're talking about spies and secret agents so naturally, is it something you've always been doing, or have you always been thinking about these things?"
Jian Dan didn't believe the villagers had such deep ulterior motives, but right now, the people on the mountain were working in the cold wind, and they didn't know how long they would have to stay frozen there. They had to go deep into the mountains and protect the safety of the foot of the mountain, while these people were gossiping and chattering. It was impossible for her to feel good about it.
Liu Jianshe felt a chill run down his spine. He knew the villagers' character, and he could tell that Jian Dan's words were a warning. He immediately became furious.
"Shut up! Don't you know what time it is, what you can and can't say?"
Do you even know what spies and secret agents are like? Should I call the police back so you can talk to them?
The man's face immediately turned pale. He couldn't control his mouth and loved to talk, but he only dared to talk; he wouldn't dare to confront the police.
Old Han also quickly tried to persuade him.
"Young Jian, I'm so sorry, so sorry. He's a chatterbox and doesn't know his own limitations. I'm really sorry,"
Liu Jianshe also advised,
"You must be exhausted. Go back and rest first, and I'll have someone bring you some fish later."
Seeing the man's expression, Jian Dan didn't say anything more, but simply asked,
"Is there any left for us?"
The other educated youth quietly tightened their grip on the straps of their baskets.
"Of course, you are all from Liujiatun. You have worked hard today and come up with such a good method. Today, using the sack method, we caught a lot more fish, so we must share them with you."
Liu Jianshe was indeed much more decisive and efficient than Liu Weimin; he immediately sent the man back and also gave instructions to Lao Han.
"This time, his family shouldn't share the fish. We should make it clear to the villagers that they should watch what they say and stop being so curious."
If you know what happened on the mountain, what can you do? Can you go up the mountain to catch spies or spies, or can you help hunt wild boars and wolves?
If you can't help in any way, don't hold us back. Don't think that just talking isn't illegal. If you really disturb public order and something happens, I'll be the first to call the police.
Before leaving, Jian Dan gave a few more instructions.
"Tell everyone not to come to the foot of the mountain, and don't sneak up the mountain out of curiosity. If something happens and it disrupts the military operations up there, that would be a crime."
Liu Jianshe knew the gravity of the situation and solemnly agreed. However, after they left, some villagers didn't understand.
"Is the construction really that serious? They're not even letting people come to the foot of the mountain?"
This place is close to the military region, so they've encountered all sorts of training exercises and drills before. Every time, they make it sound very serious, but in the end, it's like nothing happened, and it quietly comes to an end.
