Lao Liu and Ouyang Zhenyu returned to the cave.
The sixth brother said with lingering fear,
"They really don't value human life. Those people were just buried alive in the cave, and they didn't even try to save them."
Just now, Lao Liu was secretly pleased with himself, thinking he could earn 300 a month.
Even if they don't arrest him, he'd still be happy to come here to work.
Thinking back to his foolish idea, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Clearly, the work these people were doing was no good job at all; it was so dangerous that he could lose his life at any moment.
No wonder it's 300 a month; besides, whether I can even get that 300 a month is uncertain.
If someone really dies inside and is buried there, the family won't even have to pay anything.
What's even more terrifying is how fiercely Brother Shan looked at the two of them just now.
"Now that Brother Shan is short so many men, I reckon he'll turn his attention to other people."
Ouyang Zhenyu suddenly looked up.
"Oh no, they're in danger on the fifth day of the lunar month."
The sixth brother immediately understood; he wasn't stupid, and he could figure it out in no time.
With so many able-bodied men missing, it's natural that these people would consider looking elsewhere.
Fifth Brother brought everyone to haul grain to rescue them, and he might have brought a large group of people with him.
Suddenly, I felt very confident.
"Don't be afraid. If Fifth Brother brings people, it's actually a good thing. We'll be saved."
If Fifth Brother were to bring people, he certainly wouldn't bring more than a dozen.
At least 100 people.
With so few men, we can definitely take them down. When it comes to fighting, nobody in our village is afraid of anyone.
The sixth brother was quite smug.
Fifth Brother knew there was danger here, and they would definitely bring hunting rifles.
"That's not necessarily true. What if these people use some kind of sleeping pills?"
Ouyang Zhenyu was not so optimistic. These people did not play by the rules, and they were short-handed.
So far, we haven't seen the true strength of this folk singer.
But as of now, the fact that they have been able to control so many men, women, and children, and that no one has been able to escape, proves that they have very effective methods.
The other side isn't stupid either. If they really sent over 100 strong laborers, they wouldn't easily arrest so many people. If they weren't careful, it could backfire.
Anyone with a brain wouldn't do that.
They only need to launch a sneak attack and capture a dozen or twenty people sporadically, which will be enough.
Moreover, with the other party secretly sending them messages, and so many of them together, it's inevitable that they'll get a little carried away.
If they are prepared but unprepared, they might easily fall into their trap on the fifth day of the lunar new year.
Ouyang Zhenyu's concerns clearly also affected Lao Liu.
"No, I have to go out and inform Fifth Brother."
Ouyang Zhenyu could tell that Lao Liu had a good relationship with everyone in the village, which showed that the villagers were very united.
That's quite rare.
"Don't do anything rash. It's not going to be that easy to get out of here."
The sixth brother sneered.
“You’re wrong. The people in our village are different from the people outside. If I want to leave, he can’t stop me.”
As soon as it got dark, their big iron gate was indeed locked.
Old Liu hesitated for a moment as he looked at the locked iron gate in front of him, and then said to Ouyang Zhenyu.
"Brother Jiang, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to stay here alone. I know that if I try to escape, they'll probably torture you."
But I had no choice; I had to inform Fifth Brother. I couldn't let so many people in the village get arrested.
Brother Jiang, please don't blame me.
Ouyang Zhenyu's calm reply
"Don't worry, I don't blame you, as long as you have the ability to escape."
I silently added in my mind, "I'm just afraid you don't have the ability."
All I saw was Lao Liu fiddling with something by the big iron gate for a while.
He actually managed to open the iron gate, then pulled it open and ran out.
Ouyang Zhenyu lay on the straw, his head still throbbing with pain. He wondered how ruthless the person who attacked him yesterday must have been.
That meant they really wanted to take their own lives.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He needed to rest for a while, otherwise he might start making a fuss and wouldn't be able to sleep until dawn.
Those people certainly aren't that kind; let them continue to rest tomorrow.
Ouyang Zhenyu was truly asleep; he fell asleep almost the moment he closed his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, Ouyang Zhenyu was awakened by the noise outside. There were not only human voices but also dog barks.
Ouyang Zhenyu opened his eyes, and just then, the large iron gate in front of him was kicked open.
The torchlight shone in, and Ouyang Zhenyu got up from the straw, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he looked at the newcomers and saw a dozen or so people gathered at the door.
With seven or eight shotguns pointed at him, he would be riddled with bullets if he made the slightest move.
"What are you doing?"
The surprised expression was incredibly lifelike. Shan Ge walked out from the crowd, carrying a hunting rifle in his hand and a machete at his waist.
Seeing Ouyang Zhenyu's expression, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"You can still sleep? Where's your brother?"
Ouyang Zhenyu hurriedly looked to his side and saw the empty straw, so he sat up abruptly.
"Wait a minute! Where's Lao Liu?"
"Brother Shan, what's going on? Did you guys arrest Lao Liu?"
Seeing Ouyang Zhenyu's completely clueless expression, Shan Ge couldn't help but wonder if he had guessed wrong.
The sixth brother's running away has nothing to do with this person; judging from his appearance, he really doesn't know anything.
And he had clearly just woken up.
