Chapter 302: Capture the people
Not long after Yang Lihua returned to Beifeng Village, Old Man Yang came with a lot of people.
He brought young and strong people with him. At first glance, they looked like they were here to fight.
The old branch secretary learned the news and hurriedly brought people out.
There are few young people in their village. If a fight really breaks out, they can't beat these ferocious people brought by Old Man Yang.
"Uncle, I haven't been here for a long time. Are you in good health?"
Although Old Man Yang's daughter married the old branch secretary, he is much younger than the old branch secretary.
Shuanzi is the youngest son of the old branch secretary, and the eldest son of the old branch secretary is ten years older than Shuanzi.
Old Man Yang still respects the old branch secretary a little and always calls him uncle and nephew.
The old branch secretary had a gloomy face, "If you hadn't brought people here to make trouble, I estimate that I could live another ten years."
Old Man Yang laughed a few times, "I'm not here to make trouble. I believe that uncle knows better than me why I came here today."
The old branch secretary was not stupid. Seeing Yang Lihua's guilty face, he thought about it carefully and knew that she had returned to her parents' home to report the news!
This stupid woman, this is going to kill Yuan Xiao and the others.
He hated Shuanzi even more. This good-for-nothing couldn't even control his own wife!
Shuanzi had never seen such a big scene, and his legs were so scared that they went limp.
Even if he didn't know what happened, Yang Lihua had just returned from her parents' home, and Old Man Yang brought people to the door. He didn't need to think about what this woman had done!
But seeing the ferocious look of Old Man Yang, he really didn't dare to teach Yang Lihua a lesson in front of him.
Yuan Xiao, who was standing in the crowd and watching, was also confused. He didn't know what happened, and he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
The old branch secretary's face was so dark that water could drip out, "What do you want to do?" Old
Man Yang smiled sinisterly, "Hand the person over to us, and pretend that nothing happened."
The old branch secretary snorted, "I don't know who you are talking about." Old
Man Yang looked around, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? For our Xishan Village, if you don't hand the person over today, we will never be done!" When
Yuan Xiao heard the three words "Xishan Village", his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but step back a few steps and tugged at Xu Zhicheng's sleeve.
Xu Zhicheng was also very sensitive to this. He sensed something was wrong and was ready to run away at any time.
But if he ran away now, wouldn't he be telling Father Yang that he was the one they wanted to catch?
Gu Lanting had not returned from the town to find the police, otherwise Yuan Xiao really didn't think he needed to be afraid of these people.
The old branch secretary naturally couldn't hand over Yuan Xiao. He took a step forward: "You have done enough evil things. If I hand him over to you, what do you want to do? Kill him to silence him? If I don't hand him over, what do you want to do? Kill everyone in our Beifeng Village?"
Yang Lihua felt more and more that something was wrong. Was the old branch secretary trying to protect Yuan Xiao?
Just for an outsider, the villagers were hurt? Is it worth it?
This man must be old and confused!
Yang Lihua became more and more anxious. Finally, she saw Yuan Xiao in the crowd and pointed at her and shouted, "Dad, it's her! That woman!"
Shuanzi was so anxious that he slapped Yang Lihua hard, "You spendthrift woman, what nonsense are you talking about!"
His father didn't give in, saying that Yuan Xiao couldn't be handed over.
Father Yang saw Yuan Xiao at a glance. She was not tall, so he didn't see her just now.
Now seeing her face, he was a little surprised.
Yes, how could such a white and tender face be raised in this mountainous place.
Originally, I thought of burying these people and putting an end to it.
Now it seems that it would be best to take them back and give them to people in the village as wives!
He was about to step forward, but the old branch secretary calmly stopped him, "If you want to take the person away today, you have to kill me! Step over my body!" The old
branch secretary's words were so influential that the other people in Beifeng Village also stepped forward, blocking Old Man Yang's people and protecting Yuan Xiao tightly.
The old branch secretary often praised Yuan Xiao in front of them, and they all remembered it silently in their hearts.
If they handed Yuan Xiao over at this time, they would become beasts!
Yuan Xiao was panicking in her heart, but she still tensed her face and said to Old Man Yang, "Even if you kill me today, you can't escape legal sanctions. If I don't go back in five days, the capital will send people to find me, unless you can guarantee that you can kill everyone! The mountainous area is not a lawless place. Killing someone means paying for their life, which is only natural!"
Xu Zhicheng then said, "Miss Yuan Xiao has contributed to the country. If she is hurt here, the higher-ups will never let her go. The Eagle Project is a public welfare project that the whole country is paying attention to, and she is the initiator. Think about this, and you will know the seriousness of the matter!"
But their words did not shock Old Man Yang much.
He is just an uneducated and rough man. Besides having enough food and warm clothes, he just wants a wife and children to live in.
Now, someone wants to destroy the beauty of their village. This person is unforgivable!
I don't know who whispered in Yuan Xiao's ear: "Run!" Without saying
a word, Xu Zhicheng took Yuan Xiao's hand and ran to the back mountain.
The old branch secretary led people forward and shouted angrily: "Go to the school and find Teacher An!"
Even at this time, Xu Zhicheng's mind did not stop.
"Yuan Xiao, you run to the back mountain, and I will go to the school. The old branch secretary and the others are all old, weak, women and children. They can't be delayed for long. You must hold on until Captain Gu comes back!" Yuan Xiao
was not willing to do that. She was the one who caused the trouble, and there was no way she would let Xu Zhicheng take risks for her.
"Let's go to the back mountain. The terrain there is complicated!"
She held on to Xu Zhicheng's hand and Xu Zhicheng had no choice but to run with her to the back mountain.
As Xu Zhicheng guessed, the old branch secretary and his men didn't have many strong men and couldn't hold out for long.
When they reached the back mountain, many people caught up with them.
Xu Zhicheng had come to the back mountain to check it out beforehand, but he missed one point. The people of Xishan Village who had lived here for many years knew the terrain better than them.
Old Man Yang led his men to chase after them, like teasing a rabbit, and they would rest for a while after chasing for a while.
"Don't run forward, there will be a cliff if you run forward! I don't care who you are, if you offend the people of our Xishan Village, don't think you will have an easy life!"
Xu Zhicheng barely stopped. The cliff in front of him was not as Old Man Yang said.
It was a steep slope with withered grass on it.
He weighed the danger and said, "It shouldn't be a problem if we roll down here."
Apart from this road, they had no other way to go.
Yuan Xiao kept calling out to the single dog in her heart, but there was no response.
She even thought about hiding in the space, but the space on her body broke at the critical moment, as if it had completely disappeared.
Yuan Xiao made a decision on the spot, and the two of them went down together.
As long as they could delay time, she believed that Gu Lanting would find her when he came back.
