Ma Laosan watched as the crowd carried the one-eyed corpse aside, placing it alongside the other dead and wounded.
The words One-Eyed had just said kept replaying in my mind.
Ouyang Zhenyu and the others were busy finishing up.
Those people in the mine can come down now.
Ouyang Zhenyu found the fifth day of the lunar month.
"So many people have died on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. We have to report it to the police."
On the fifth day, he shook his head like a rattle drum.
"That won't do."
If we report it to the police, then our village's affairs will be exposed.
What if they come to our village to arrest people?
After all, so many people died; who can say for sure they were all bad people?
"But so many people have died."
Ouyang Zhenyu didn't understand why the police were unwilling to get involved at this point in the fifth month of the lunar calendar.
Even though such a big thing happened, the villagers were reluctant to report it to the police. What secrets are they hiding in their village?
So much so that these people would rather hide in the village than show their faces.
"Just bury them in this desolate wilderness, anyway no one will know they came here."
Chu Wu calmly said, and everyone around him nodded.
Chu Wu lowered his voice and said.
"I know you must be scared. Who wouldn't be scared in this kind of situation?"
This is the first time I've encountered this either, but these people are all scoundrels. You know what kind of heinous things they've done.
The villagers who harmed the surrounding villages deserved to die.
If they were good people, we might feel uneasy, but these are all bastards.
"Don't be afraid, you don't need to worry about what's going on here. I'll have the brothers bury the people. By the way, we need to hurry back to the village."
"I wonder how worried the old man and the others must be."
Ouyang Zhenyu was puzzled. After such a big incident, he refused to have any contact with the outside world on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. What was the problem?
"What's the point of going back now? You need to know who's still in the village."
Ouyang Zhenyu felt he had to figure out what the fifth day of the Lunar New Year was worried about.
They didn't help us on the fifth day of the lunar new year.
Outsiders couldn't get into the village at all, and it was clear that although Tiger was gone, his remaining followers were still in the village.
These people are clearly on a mission. If they scatter and flee to the surrounding villages, who knows how many people they will harm.
"Without Tiger, those people would probably be nothing more than shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and they would definitely run away faster than anyone else."
Moreover, they all have criminal records on their hands; if they escape and are caught by the police, they're doomed.
Most likely, they'll stay obediently at the village entrance and continue relying on us for a living.
"This might actually be to our advantage; we might get more..."
I didn't say anything more.
Chu Wu's words startled Ouyang Zhenyu; they didn't sound like good news.
Moreover, how could only this group of people have discovered this village over the years? If they wanted to make use of it, they wouldn't have only used this one group of people.
What about those people?
Ouyang Zhenyu couldn't say anything more, because saying more would be a mistake.
He has now gained Chu Wu's trust.
As things stand, those who remain have all lost their main leaders.
The villagers lost Tiger, while the outsiders lost an eye.
The exact number of survivors is still unknown.
However, if these remaining forces are not eradicated, these people will definitely cause harm if they are left behind.
Ouyang Zhenyu looked around. They had already left the village. If he could leave quietly from here, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
Ouyang Zhenyu made up his mind, but leaving wasn't so easy.
On the one hand, he didn't know the way, and on the other hand, it wouldn't be easy to contact Lao Wei and the others from here.
These damned mountains stretch endlessly, completely isolating us.
Seeing Ouyang Zhenyu looking around, Chu Wu came over.
"Xiao Jiang, what's wrong with you? You haven't said a word since earlier. Do you think I'm heartless?"
"No, that's not it. But I don't have what I need to buy, and I don't have any food either. I'm worried about how I'll survive when I go back to the village."
Chu Wu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ouyang Zhenyu and said.
"Xiao Jiang, I can see that you are a capable person."
We can take the found grain back with us first.
Do you want to go out and buy something? I'll take you; there are so many people, they can just carry the food.
"Let's go take care of our business first."
Ouyang Zhenyu was overjoyed to hear this; as long as he could get out, things would be much easier.
Liu Dashan hurriedly stepped forward.
"I'll show you the way. I know people who can help you once you're out of the country."
Sure enough, on the fifth day of the lunar new year, the able-bodied men were arranged to help the surviving villagers.
Cleaning up the mess afterward wasn't too difficult, since most of the grain belonged to the villagers.
The villagers who are still alive need to survive, so it's definitely not okay for them to take all the food away.
This is why we still set off with people on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, mainly because the village is in dire need of supplies.
This time, I've fallen out with Tiger and his gang, so it's obviously not a good idea to rely on them anymore.
If those people decide to seek revenge for Tiger and his gang, the villagers will be in danger.
Without hesitation, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they selected ten people and set off with Ouyang Zhenyu.
This time, they carried a lot of things, with each person carrying a tall basket on their back.
Ouyang Zhenyu had actually seen what was in the basket; there was nothing there at all—just some eggs and fur.
