Chapter 21: Rescue (1)

Thanks to the lush vegetation in the forest, You Ning was able to take Mingyue to follow the gang of vicious traffickers from afar. After an unknown period of time, the traffickers joined up with the rest of their companions outside a thatched hut deep in the woods. After locking the women in the thatched huts, most of the traffickers gathered in an open space not far from the house, leaving only a few traffickers to stand guard around the thatched huts. The traffickers gathered in the open space sat on the ground one by one, took out the dry food they had with them, and ate them without a bite, during which they could vaguely hear the leader giving orders. Judging by the staccato orders heard, it appears that the traffickers will be on standby near the thatched hut until after sunset to hand over the "goods" to the buyer who has already been contacted. This transaction is very important to the gang, and the leader is very vigilant.

"Looks like this is their stronghold." Mingyue stared in the direction of the thatched hut and said with a serious expression. "There are a total of ten people sitting outside eating, a total of four guards standing near the thatched hut, plus an unknown number of women guarding the house, this group of traffickers has seventeen or eighteen people, right?"

You Ning saw that Mingyue's body was gradually leaking out of the grass, and dragged him back very vigilantly.

"There are so many human traffickers, and the two of us can't save them alone. For today's plan, only one person can stay here, and one person can go back to Xingye Village to mobilize the strong men in the village. ”

Hearing Mingyue's proposal that the two act separately, You Ning immediately shook his head. He took out a booklet and a thin pen polished with black charcoal from his bosom, and hurriedly wrote on the booklet:

"You can't go your separate ways. One is that there are many dangers in the forest, once separated, if the son has three long and two short, you would rather die to apologize. ”

"I can hide here, as long as the traffickers don't find out, it shouldn't be ————"

Mingyue still wanted to explain two sentences, but You Ning continued to bow his head and wrote: "This second reason is even more critical. I estimate that most of the villagers in Xingye Village will sit idly by. ”

Mingyue was very confused when she saw You Ning writing like this. Although there are only about 40 households in this Xingye Village, how can there be 20 or 30 strong men. In terms of quantity, if the villagers of Xingye Village are willing to help, there is no reason not to win. Mingyue really didn't understand the reason why Youning made such a conclusion, and just when Mingyue wanted to ask Youning for an explanation, Youning raised his hand and pointed at the traffickers who were resting on the ground. Mingyue followed the direction indicated by Youning, looked and looked, still very puzzled. You Ning gestured with her eyes again, but Mingyue still didn't know why. It wasn't until Youning picked up the charcoal and was about to continue to explain to Mingyue that Mingyue suddenly realized:

"Ah, I know what you're going to tell me. What you just asked me to see was them sitting on the ground. ”

At that time, although there were no swords and soldiers in the world, all countries maintained standing military forces, among which Ji Yu paid more attention to military affairs. There are the most rules in the military, and in order to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, the movements of the soldiers, getting up and lying down, and even eating and sleeping are all subject to rules. Any soldier who has undergone such a long period of training will deeply integrate these rules into his daily life.

Mingyue didn't pay attention to it at first, but only after getting Yu Ning's signal did he notice that this group of human traffickers was actually fierce and vigorous, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, and their clear division of labor and tacit understanding of cooperation were far beyond what ordinary lawbreakers could do. From this point of view, there is no doubt that this gang of human traffickers are all members of the military!

Looking at the practices of this group of traffickers, it is not the first time that people have been trafficked. Although the hut where they are hiding is hidden, it is still near Xingye Village, and the villagers make a living in the forest, and there is no reason why they are unaware of it. However, no one has paid attention to the hiding place of this group of people so far, and it must be because the villagers of Xingye Village discovered that these thieves were not small, and in order to protect Mingzhe's life, no one has reported it to the government so far. At this critical juncture, most of the villagers can't be counted on. Therefore, Youning decisively rejected the plan to ask the villagers for help. Mingyue has always been smart, but she was anxious for a while, and she didn't think of this link for a while, but now she has figured it out.

"I didn't expect it to be a group of people in the army, the villagers couldn't count on it, and you and I were categorically incapable of the enemy, so it seemed that we could only outwit it." Mingyue whispered to Youning.

As for this outwitting, how can you think of a way to do it in a moment. Just as the two of them were squatting side by side in the grass, thinking about the wonderful timing of rescuing the women, a strange light flashed on Mingyue's forehead. Mingyue didn't notice it, but Youning immediately stretched out his hand and instructed Mingyue to silence. You Ning looked at the light in the direction of the bright light, and saw that there were still two people crouching in the canopy of a large cypress tree on the right hand of the two of them. Judging by his clothes, it doesn't seem to be a secret whistle for a gang of human traffickers.

One of the young men, who was quite delicate, smiled at Mingyue and Youning, and shook the jade pendant in his hand. Thinking about it, the light on Mingyue's forehead was caused by the sunlight reflected by this jade pendant. The other person behind the young man was about 40 years old, and after seeing You Ning and Mingyue's gestures, he also smiled slightly at Mingyue, but this smile was quite majestic.

Mingyue saw that his whereabouts had been exposed, and the other two seemed to have no malicious intent, and a plan suddenly appeared in his heart. Leaned over and whispered to Youning:

"Looking at the posture of those two people, they must not be accomplices of human traffickers, and now that we are not strong enough, we can try to join forces with them."

Youning was noncommittal to Mingyue's proposal, the perennial killer career made Youning not trust others so easily, if it was according to Youning's original intention, it was best to take Mingyue away from the place of right and wrong immediately at this time, although the abducted women were pitiful, but compared with the safety of their son-in-law, the latter was more important. It's just that You Ning knows that Mingyue will never turn a blind eye to such a loss of conscience, and in the current situation, he has nothing to do, and he has exposed his whereabouts in advance, and he is completely in a passive situation, so he can only acquiesce to Mingyue's opinion.

Youning tore a piece of paper from the booklet and handed it to Mingyue, who wrote down her plan on it. Afterwards, Youning wrapped the paper around a small stone and threw it at the young man in the tree with an iron thistle. The stone was in a hurry, and when he was about to hit the young man's cheek, the middle-aged man suddenly made a move, and actually caught the stone with two fingers, obviously with good skills. After the two men on the tree looked at the contents of the note, the young man who was almost slapped in the face nodded to Mingyue and the others.

After a while, the stone wrapped in the paper was thrown by the young man, looking at the man's fluttering technique, it was obviously the same as Mingyue's - powerless! You Ning reached out and took the stone, opened the paper on it, and only on the back there was a word "Ke" with a bloody hand. Mingyue and Youning glanced at each other, and after bowing to the two people on the tree, they got up and swaggered towards the thatched hut where the traffickers gathered.
