Chapter 268: Cleanup Arrangements
Wolves are nocturnal animals, they are usually active at night and usually hide during the day.
The villagers took turns to guard until dawn, and most of them dispersed.
To be on the safe side, people were posted with gongs to guard each entrance to the mountain.
If anything unusual is found, ring the gong to notify the villagers.
The villagers who had originally gathered at the drying dam also returned home.
Liu Jingxue used her spiritual sense to detect that her uncle and the other three had also returned to the cowshed.
Since there were people guarding nearby, she couldn't go to the cowshed to inquire about the situation.
However, judging from the situation checked with spiritual sense, they were in good condition and did not catch any colds.
There was no one else at home, so Liu Jingxue closed the door, went into the space, quickly washed up, filled her stomach, and then went out to the commune.
It was still snowing at this time, and apart from the footprints left by the captain and his men when they delivered the wolf's body, there were no signs of other people walking.
Liu Jingxue cast an invisibility spell on herself, took out a wooden board, pasted an invisibility talisman on it, stepped on it, and used her spiritual power to drive herself to the commune.
The snow was deep and difficult to walk, and she was walking very fast. After walking for a while, she found the captain and his group who were dragging the wolf corpse on a sled in front of them.
Liu Jingxue deliberately avoided them and got ahead of them.
When they arrived at the commune, there were no pedestrians on the road, so Liu Jingxue simply walked on the wooden boards.
It was not until she was about to reach the courtyard where the soldiers were temporarily staying that she found a corner, put the wooden board into the space, and lifted her invisibility.
Worried that the soldiers had already retreated from the courtyard, she first scanned it with her spiritual sense. After seeing several people in the courtyard, including Sun Changgui and a member of Song Lingfeng's team whom she had met before, she walked towards the courtyard.
After knocking on the door, the person who opened the door was not from Sun Changgui's team that Liu Jingxue had seen before.
The man saw the man standing outside with only his eyes showing, and asked cautiously, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Liu Jingxue lowered her voice and said, "Hello comrade, I'm looking for Captain Sun Changgui.
If he is not here, Deputy Captain Song Lingfeng will do.
If that doesn't work, members of their team can also do it."
When the strange comrade saw that Liu Jingxue could say the names of Captain Sun and Deputy Captain Song, he became less wary of her, but he still did not completely trust her.
"If you want to find them, you have to tell me who you are."
"Please tell them that Liu Jingxue has something important to tell them."
The man nodded and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll go in and find someone."
The man turned and went into the house, and found the member of Sun Changgui's team, "Dapeng, there is a person named Liu Jingxue outside, looking for Captain Sun and Vice Captain Song, saying that she has something important to tell them."
Dapeng, who was sorting out documents, looked up and said, "You said Comrade Liu Jingxue is here.
Where are the people? "
"Waiting outside the door."
When Dapeng heard that the person was still outside the door, he quickly stood up and shouted, "Thunder God, are you stupid?
It's so cold, why don't you invite Comrade Liu in to warm up by the fire instead of making him wait outside?"
"Dapeng, you are stupid.
You don't even think about what we are doing. There is so much important information here. I can let her in."
Dapeng used something to press down the things he was sorting and said, "Comrade Liu knows the rules and won't look at these things.
Besides, it doesn’t matter if she knows something.”
Someone nearby asked curiously, "Dapeng, who is this Comrade Liu? Why do you trust her so much?"
“The matter concerning Li Jie was reported by someone else.
She was the one who came to inform Li Jie that he was going to stay in the mountains permanently.
She is also the child of a martyr.
You decide whether she is trustworthy or not."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to get the people in quickly. Don't let that idiot Lei Gong freeze them to death."
Dapeng picked up the thick cotton jacket beside him and put it on as he walked out.
When he saw Liu Jingxue at the gate, Dapeng immediately greeted her, "Comrade Liu, please come in.
Come in and warm yourself by the fire."
It was indeed difficult to discuss the matter outside, so Liu Jingxue followed Dapeng into the house.
As soon as she came in, the comrade brought Liu Jingxue a bowl of hot water.
Liu Jingxue quickly took it and thanked him.
Lei Gong quickly apologized, "Comrade Liu, I'm sorry, I didn't know your identity just now, and I didn't dare to bring you in. Please forgive me."
Liu Jingxue heard the conversation between the few people just now with her spiritual sense.
But she was very careful and did not use her spiritual sense to check the information on the table.
"You don't have to apologize, comrade. In your line of work, you can never be too careful."
Dapeng introduced, "Comrade Liu, these are the comrades who came to support us.
Some of the others followed the captain into the mountains to follow Li Jie and his group, while others stayed in the town to watch.
There are only a few of us left here to sort out the situations from all sides and coordinate the work.
You came here today, is there any new situation?"
Liu Jingxue nodded and said, "Something happened here, which might alarm Li Jie and others in the mountains.
I thought I'd come over here quickly to tell you and see if there's any way to avoid alerting Li Jie and his group."
When several people heard this, they quickly gathered around.
"Comrade Liu, please tell me the specific situation."
Liu Jingxue explained, "The production team I went to in the countryside, which is also the production team where Li Jie is, had a pack of wolves enter the village last night.
All the wolves that entered the village were shot dead, but they were not the entire wolf pack.
The villagers were worried about retaliation from the remaining wolves, so they planned to report to the army and ask for help in going into the mountains to clear them out.
Judging from my previous experience tracking Li Jie, they should be in the forest behind my production team."
Dapeng nodded and said, "Comrade Liu is right, Li Jie and his men are in the deep mountains behind the Red Star Production Team.
The mountains are endless, and although the area is large, if the troops send people in to clear out the enemies, there is a real chance that they will run into Li Jie and his group.
If Li Jie and his men see the troops and mistakenly try to escape, our efforts will be wasted."
"Then let's send a letter home and ask them to give orders to the garrison here not to let the troops go into the mountains to clear out the enemy."
Before Liu Jingxue could object, someone else spoke up and said, "That won't work.
Wolves are the most vengeful creatures. If their companions who went down the mountain have not returned, they will definitely send wolves down the mountain to look for them.
If they knew something happened to them, they would definitely come down the mountain to take revenge.
If the army does not go into the mountains to clear up the chaos, the villagers living below the mountains will suffer."
"Sai Zhuge, what do you think we should do?"
"We must go into the mountains to clear up the trouble, but we have to do it later, until we have made arrangements.
Moreover, the cleanup must be done in a high-profile manner, so that Li Jie's gang's accomplices in the town can get the news and go into the mountains to inform them.
After Li Jie and his gang get the news, they will definitely move away.
Moreover, when they saw the comrades going into the mountains, they knew that they were going into the mountains to clear out the wild beasts and were not targeting them, so they would not run away.
During this time, we can also send people into the mountains to find our brothers there and give them a message."
Another added, "It would be best if our people led the team into the mountains to clear out the enemies.
After all, the captain and his men left marks for us when they entered the mountain. We can avoid the marks and prevent the team entering the mountain from meeting Li Jie and his men. "
Dapeng made the decision, "Okay, let's do it.
Shunfenger, please contact your family right away and explain the situation.
Let them contact the garrison here, and if they receive such a request, ask them to delay the time of entering the mountain, and also ask them to agree to let our people lead the team.
Then notify the government here, publicize this matter in the town, and make sure Li Jie's accomplices know about it."
"Understood, I'll contact them right away."
"Lei Gong, you need to go into the mountains right away and explain the situation to the captain and the others.
You have to come back quickly, because then you will have to lead the team into the mountains to clear out the enemies."
"Understood. I will go into the mountains to deliver the letter now."
Sai Zhuge said, “Then I will go to the town and explain the situation to the comrades there.
Ask them to keep an eye on the people they are watching to see if they go into the mountains to report the news."
Seeing that they had already made arrangements, Liu Jingxue said goodbye, "Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first."
There were many things to do next, so Dapeng and the others did not try to keep her and Dapeng sent her out.
At the gate of the courtyard, Dapeng whispered, "Comrade Liu, your drug is very effective.
We are using it up quite quickly here, I wonder if you still have any stock."
Liu Jingxue nodded. "You guys will lead the team into the mountains to clear up the arson. You will definitely go to our production team. I will let him bring it back then."
"Thank you very much, Comrade Liu."
