Chapter 69: Saving People
It seems that Xia Li only lost a snake this time, but in fact, he has to add a pet position, but he is not distressed, and this loss is really nothing compared to getting rid of Liu Yang.
The family is now accustomed to him disappearing from time to time, and they were all asleep when Xia Li came home.
Lying on the bed and reflecting on tonight's actions, he thought through every step to see if there were any loopholes.
"There should be no problem, no one saw me enter the village at night, and even if I did, I couldn't find any evidence."
The main thing is that the snake is on his bed, it can't be said that Xia Li controlled the snake to run to their bed, this is really ridiculous, and it is too common to have a few snakes in the countryside where the mountains live.
Even if Xia Xing is ruthless in this life, it is always difficult to sleep after doing these things.
He could only put his consciousness into the space, fiddling with the crops inside, and did not fall asleep until he was exhausted.
……
In the morning, Xia Li went into the construction site to think around, and saw that the fruit trees were growing well, and it seemed that they should be able to bear fruit this year, and the vegetables had already sprouted.
While he was thinking about what to do with this batch of crops at that time, the village horn suddenly sounded.
"Xiaoli, Wang Peng, Xia Jie...... After hearing the announcement, immediately go to the village headquarters to assemble. ”
The powerful voice of the old village elder shouted several times in a row, Xia Li was a little puzzled, the above list includes himself who is neither a cadre nor a party member, how can he let the village department gather?
Since the old village chief shouted, it was definitely impossible for him to pretend not to hear it, and hurriedly rode the motorcycle he had just bought to the village.
happened to meet Wang Peng on the road, Xia Li simply pulled him along, and Wang Peng, who was sitting in the side fight, touched the motorcycle with some envy and said: "Brother Xia Li, your car is too domineering!" How much does it cost? ”
The day before yesterday, because it was late and everyone's attention was attracted by the wild boar, they didn't pay much attention to Xia Li's mount, and this was the first time Xia Li drove around the village.
Xia Li didn't want to entangle with him in the car, and the provincial news was that he burned the bun, but he just said lightly: "The one I bought in my friend's store is much cheaper than the normal one." ”
"By the way, do you know what the village chief is calling us for?" Xia Li hurriedly changed the topic and asked.
When the innocent Wang Peng heard this, he immediately came, and whispered in Xia Li's ear: "It seems that something happened to the wave of student tourism from the city." ”
Xia Li immediately thought of the few young and lively college students he had brought over on the day he bought the car, and the students in Wang Peng's mouth should be referring to them.
"What's wrong?" Xia Li hurriedly asked.
Wang Peng couldn't answer, but said that he had listened to others, and that the group of people had not returned all night after entering the mountain yesterday.
"Is it going into the mountains to find someone?" After Xia Li thought about the people on the list, he found that most of them were young people, and some were old hunters with rich experience in entering the mountains.
After arriving at the village headquarters, Xia Li found that most of the people on the list were there, and it was not until he saw Widow Li in the small shop at the head of the village that he felt that he had guessed correctly.
Although Xiajia Village is not big, there are always small hotels, although there are no tourist hotels at this time.
But occasionally, there will be people from outside who go into the mountains to buy wild meat, and if they can't go back at night, they will stay at Widow Li's house, and after a long time, Widow Li will divide several houses in the house into small rooms for these people to live in.
This time, the college students came to travel, and since they were looking for a place to live overnight, they must have chosen to live in her house.
When the people were all together, they gathered together and exchanged ears, asking each other what was the matter, and they hurriedly called them over.
The old village chief saw that the people were almost coming, stretched out his hand to signal everyone not to make noise, he cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, yesterday a few city babies came back from the mountain, according to the person who came back, they ran into the fog and got lost, since they were lost in our village, we can't help but save them." ”
After speaking, the old village chief glanced at the people below, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, one of the old hunters in his fifties asked: "Looking for it must be looking for, where is the baby who came out?" Let him lead us on the way, otherwise how can we find it in the mountains that it is so big. ”
The village chief shook his head and said, "That man broke his leg in a hurry when he came down the mountain, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the mountain, otherwise I wouldn't have called so many people." ”
"He must know where he got separated, right?"
"I asked, but the baby didn't remember the road at all, and she didn't know what to ask." The village chief sighed.
Thinking of the age of flowers, it would be a pity if he died in the mountains, so he hurriedly responded: "Uncle Mancang, let's set off quickly, they have been in the mountains all night, and it will be really bad luck if it drags on any longer." ”
Most of the people in the mountain village are simple people, although they know that this group of urban children has little to do with them, but it is impossible to see death without help, and there is no one in the crowd who can't say a word.
Then everyone went back to their homes to get the guys, and a few old hunters were neatly equipped and brought out all the hounds that usually went into the mountains to hunt.
More than a dozen people entered the mountain, and the leader was a famous old hunter in the village, named Sun Shoushan.
When he was young, he practiced martial arts for a period of time, and he could be said to be an old man when he roamed around.
Choosing him as the leader, everyone naturally had nothing to say, and as soon as he entered the mountain, Sun Shoushan asked the hunter with the dog to release the hunting dog.
These hunting dogs have been bred and bred for generations, are well-trained, and hunting in the mountains is no worse than the police dogs outside.
Seeing more than a dozen people gathered together, Sun Shoushan felt that this was too inefficient, so he asked everyone to search separately in groups of two, and if they encountered a beast, they quickly called someone.
After the group is divided, each group tries to stay within a kilometer and can support each other if they encounter danger.
The front was fine, there were basically no wild beasts, but when it came to the deep mountains, which are usually rarely set foot in, everyone cheered up.
These mountain people know how dangerous the depths are because they know the mountain, and they want to try to find the lost people while it is still dark.
"Brother Xia Li, I estimate that this group of college students in the city is more than lucky, I didn't see them at all after searching the periphery, we didn't dare to step into the deep mountains, this group of college students dared to come over, it was all over the night, and they must have been taken away by wild wolves."
Wang Peng happened to be in a group with Xia Li, and he muttered with an axe in his hand.
Xia Li, who was walking in front of him, glared at him after hearing this, telling him to shut up quickly.
The area is not too deep, and there is still some distance from the Monkey Valley and the Bear Cave.
Seeing that the blind bear did not move, Xia Li was a lot relieved, for fear that when he was looking for someone, the blind bear rushed over.
"Looks like it listened to what I told it last time."
Continue to walk forward, and when he came to a stream, Wang Peng pointed to the river and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Xia Li, look." ”
Xia Li grabbed Wang Peng's arm and signaled him to be careful.
