Brother Shan is afraid that something bad might happen on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
They were deliberately starved for an extra day, and I heard that they were all on the verge of death in the cave, lying there unable to move.
Fearing that the person would starve to death, they allowed the fifth day of the lunar month to be released.
Sure enough, the hot meal and several buckets of water were devoured by these people.
Brother Shan looked at these people with smug satisfaction. "Great, I finally have people under my command."
It seems that everything can be easily resolved.
The fifth child, barely alive, approached him in a humble manner.
"Brother Shan, let's talk this out. Don't worry, we'll do whatever you ask us to do."
We don't need to do this.
"You're the fifth one, okay, let's get this straight from the start, you just need to do your jobs well."
"Once the work is finished, I'll pay you and send you on your way. To be precise, I'm flexible with pay, especially when it comes to manpower."
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year was a far cry from the unruly behavior of a few days prior.
"Brother Shan, don't worry, we will definitely do our best."
"Since they offer such high wages, why wouldn't we villagers work here? Aren't we just here to earn money?"
After saying that, Brother Shan felt a gust of wind brush against his face.
Instinctively, he backed away, but he was fast, and Chu Wu was even faster.
A dagger was stuck in Brother Shan's shoulder.
He thrust the dagger in his hand in, then twisted and swung it horizontally.
Shan Ge's vision went black instantly.
The fifth day's attack was extremely cunning and vicious; it shattered the bones in his shoulder.
When Brother Shan fell, his gang of lackeys were already in a panic. They had lost their leader, and the sky had fallen.
What followed seemed to be swift and overwhelming; there was absolutely no resistance, and the entire mine was taken over.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, he led his men to rescue everyone. Looking at the weapons in everyone's hands, although they were just some simple sticks and tools, it was clear that these people had been planning to prepare these things for some time.
People who were expected to be emaciated due to hunger were found to be in good spirits and full of energy.
Liu Dashan and his men returned from the outer perimeter, and they tied up all the dozen or so men who were escorting the goods with them.
Thanks to the medicine Ouyang Zhenyu gave them, which he put in water, none of them woke up all night after drinking it.
Ouyang Zhenyu and the others searched the entire mine. When they saw the contents of the warehouse, everyone gasped. They had assumed that these people were digging up the ore to refine these chemicals.
Of course, Ouyang Zhenyu guessed that they might be making explosives, but he didn't expect that they were making detonators.
According to Liu Dashan's confession and the confessions of these miners.
The earliest one was arrested more than three months ago.
These people have worked hard for more than three months and have actually stockpiled more than a dozen boxes of detonators.
These detonators are very crudely made and placed here.
It has neither fireproof nor moisture-proof features; to be precise, a single mishap could directly cause an earthquake.
They could probably level this entire hill. You can imagine what they're trying to achieve by doing all this.
This gave Chu Wu quite a fright, mainly because there were three whole boxes of detonators inside, with more than 30 detonators in each box.
If these people use this thing against the people in their village, none of them will survive.
Thinking back, my great-grandfather and the others were completely unprepared and thought they were taking food back with them.
Little did they know that Brother Tiger had ill intentions and had set a trap for them beforehand. If Ouyang Zhenyu hadn't sent Liu Dashan to meet them in advance, they probably would have fallen into Brother Tiger's trap.
You think Tiger Brother ate those rabbits for nothing? He had already poisoned the rabbit meat. After eating those drugs, they would only suffer from severe diarrhea.
And he felt weak all over.
If he hadn't taken precautions beforehand, they wouldn't have had the strength to fight against Brother Shan and his men right now.
Chu Wu said with a solemn expression.
"Xiao Jiang, thanks to you, otherwise this would have been a disaster."
I need to go back and tell my great-grandfather. They're afraid those people have ulterior motives. What are they planning to do with all this?"
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he was extremely anxious. There were still over a thousand people in the village, and all his family members, wives, and children were in the village.
Although there were still able-bodied men, people were not as wary as they should have been.
I'm afraid my great-grandfather will be fooled by these people. Although Tiger hasn't gone back yet, it's obvious that those people are definitely not to be trifled with.
"Don't rush, we can still make it back, but we can't alert them. You should know that those people saw Tiger come out with you."
If you all go back safe and sound, but Tiger doesn't, you can imagine what the consequences will be.
Ouyang Zhenyu quickly persuaded the man to stop, as this was the best opportunity for him to get Chu Wu to cooperate with him.
Even if you don't care about being an outsider or these miners, you still have to care about your family.
They didn't want anything to happen to anyone in the village.
I gritted my teeth on the fifth day.
"Yes, they all know that Brother Tiger came out with me. Brother Tiger and his men didn't go back at all."
If we go back now, the other side will definitely be very wary.
"If they still have these detonators, our entire village will be wiped out."
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he was in a bit of a dilemma, as he didn't yet have such a deep plan in mind.
Because there's only one road back to the village, it's impossible to avoid them, especially since there are so many of them.
"Fifth Brother, let's contact the police right away!"
At this point, there's no way to eliminate the danger in our village except for the police wiping them out in one fell swoop.
"Think about it, nobody knows how many detonators they have. If we don't catch them off guard, the whole village will be in danger."
Ouyang Zhenyu's statement is definitely alarmist, but it's not exactly a lie either.
Chu Wu was well aware of the difficulties he faced. Many young people in his village had committed crimes, but they had managed to hide for so many years because their village was remote and no one could find them.
Bringing the police in means we're going to settle scores with them.
"But, but if the police are brought in, what about us..."
"Fifth Brother, if these people are all vicious and desperate criminals, then we have done a great service."
If you want to arrest all of these people, then we've done a meritorious service.
No matter how great our sins are, at least we will have the opportunity to repent and be forgiven.
This is a rare opportunity. Think about it, if these people have committed crimes, wouldn't they be more serious than us?
"By arresting these people, we can at least reduce our share of the blame by half."
Ouyang Zhenyu didn't dare to say anything more, or he would expose himself.
He can't let Chu Wu think he's an undercover agent, otherwise the feeling of being betrayed will easily make Chu Wu suspicious and paranoid.
At this point, trust cannot be allowed to collapse again.
