"These guys are already not very safe, and you know it. You should be careful!"
"They might not hurt us, but they'll definitely kill you. So you should escape quickly. Remember to come back and save us when the police arrive!"
At this critical juncture, Wen Lingyun took the initiative to share many of the details.
Yes, they were all women, and these men kept them around because they were useful, so they wouldn't harm them. But Li Qingfeng was different. He knew all their secrets; he wouldn't be able to survive.
"So, you mean we were all supposed to be treated the same, but I've become the most dangerous one?"
Li Qingfeng couldn't help but say, feeling speechless.
Wen Lingyun nodded, and Yue Miao beside her did the same.
"Yes, you are the dangerous one!"
Alright!
From this, Li Qingfeng finally understood that he was the most dispensable one.
"Then I'll make a run for it?"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and run, they're coming."
By this point, he could already see the situation clearly.
Especially Wang Weicai. He guessed that Wang Weicai was just blustering. He would absolutely not be the one to make a move himself.
Therefore, he kept shouting at the villagers beside him.
Of course, the villagers understood his intentions.
Many times, they deliberately turned their heads to look in this direction.
"Brother Wang, should we make a move now?"
After thinking for a moment, the fellow asked directly.
"Make a move? Why aren't you making a move?"
Wang Weicai asked angrily when he saw his question.
At this moment, he finally understood that the people under him were now eyeing his money. If he didn't give them money, they wouldn't make a move.
"They've all gotten smart!"
"It's good that they've gotten smart, it's good! I didn't want to go this far."
Wang Weicai's face suddenly darkened as he looked at them, but he quickly regained his usual demeanor.
He suddenly realized that if these people hadn't gotten smart, Li Qingfeng might not have adapted as well.
But if they were smart, he would be much more at ease.
"Whoever takes care of this guy first, I'll give them a reward of ten thousand yuan!"
As soon as he spoke, the crowd in front of him erupted.
"Ten thousand yuan?"
"Did I hear that right? Brother Wang just said he'd give us ten thousand yuan as a reward if we take down this guy!"
"You didn't mishear, I heard it too. This guy is really worth ten thousand yuan!"
...
After the reminder from two people, the air suddenly fell silent.
For a moment, the villagers even stopped breathing, and they all looked at Li Qingfeng in front of them with immense excitement.
"What do we do next?"
"What do you mean what do we do? This is money alive! Hurry up and charge! Whoever takes him down today gets the reward!"
One of the quick-witted villagers had already charged forward, shouting to those behind him.
"Damn, why is this guy so diligent today? It's over, my ten thousand yuan reward!"
Before these fellows could react, they saw that the person had already approached Li Qingfeng, holding a long shovel in his hand.
"Quick, quick, let's charge up, he can't get to us first."
At this moment, the curious villagers had already started to yell.
Yes, Wang Weicai hadn't specified that it had to be taken down by a specific person.
So there was another possibility!
"As long as this guy is taken down and brought before me, it doesn't matter who does it. As long as the person is delivered, that's enough."
"Charge!"
The villagers swarmed forward, which honestly startled Li Qingfeng. He hadn't even reacted before they rushed up.
"Damn, do you guys have to be so excited?"
After all, ten thousand yuan wasn't a huge sum for him, but in terms of value, it was an astronomical amount in this small village.
Of course, these villagers didn't see it that way.
The value of ten thousand yuan for them was essentially a wife.
"But in this small village, this is a desperate measure."
Looking at the scene before him, Li Qingfeng thought for a moment and said very seriously.
"I'm right here, come and catch me!"
Of course, while saying this, he didn't forget to remind Wen Lingyun and Yue Miao behind him.
"You guys run quickly, I'll stall for time."
"Oh, okay!"
They were not people to delay. Seeing this, they immediately rushed out along another path.
They took the back door of the ancestral hall. It was a small door, but it wasn't locked and led to the back mountain.
Speaking of the path in the back mountain, Wen Lingyun had the most to say. She had run it countless times.
As soon as she came out of the hall, she pulled Yue Miao and her mother aside and said directly to them, "Just follow me, I know this path. By the way, do you guys have any battery left on your phones?"
But as soon as she finished asking this, she suddenly thought of something very important.
Wasn't her question redundant?
Yue Miao had been here for ten years, how could her phone possibly have battery?
The only ones left with phones were her and Li Qingfeng. They had already seen Li Qingfeng's phone, which had shut down after making one call.
Thinking about it, there was no hope!
"Right, right, I have my phone too. Let me see if I have any battery!"
Wen Lingyun was clever at this moment, thinking of the most important thing. She still had a phone.
"Ring, ring!"
The sound of the phone booting up was so pleasant at this moment.
"It's booting up, it's booting up, it's booting up!"
Wen Lingyun shouted three times in a row. At this moment, booting up was the most important thing in her eyes.
Yue Miao and her mother were equally excited. This might be their only chance to escape.
The three of them looked at the phone screen with solemn expressions. Just then, Wang Weicai in the ancestral hall also noticed their escape.
He hadn't seen the situation clearly amidst the chaos of the villagers, but now he understood.
Li Qingfeng had sacrificed himself to protect everyone behind him.
His actions were quite good, but they brought him great difficulty.
These three women also knew the specific situation here. If they managed to escape, none of these men would be able to leave.
Wang Weicai looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, many thoughts flashing through his mind.
But in the end, he finally thought of something very important.
"What is it?"
"He can't give them money! If he gives them money, it will be hard to control them in the future."
"But if I don't give them money, what else can I give them?"
Wang Weicai was in a dilemma.
When he had demanded ten thousand yuan when catching Li Qingfeng, it was mainly because this guy had made him incredibly angry.
He wouldn't let this guy go no matter what.
But when it came to Wen Lingyun and the others, he couldn't do the same!
Thinking about his future, the guy made a ruthless decision and shouted at the villagers who were not fighting for a good position:
"You don't need to chase after them. Bring back the three women who ran away. Except for my wife, you can't touch her. The other two, whoever catches them, they'll be their wife!"
Suddenly, the whole place went quiet!
Those who could obey his words were naturally all bachelors.
Therefore, this was definitely a great attraction.
Especially in the current situation, they were all somewhat thirsty and restless; they just lacked this opportunity.
"What should we do next?"
Seeing this, Li Qingfeng suddenly had many thoughts.
But soon, he understood everything.
From the looks of it, half of the people here would be taken away directly.
"No, they can't let them leave. They shouldn't have gotten far by now."
Li Qingfeng was constantly worrying about Wen Lingyun and Yue Miao and her mother on this side, but he had no idea about the situation here.
They hadn't rushed to leave. Wen Lingyun's phone still had over 20% battery after it turned on, which made her incredibly excited.
"How is it? How is it? Is it ready?"
Yue Miao could no longer maintain her composure and asked excitedly.
"Wait a moment, Sister Yue Miao, don't rush. Let me look again, let me look again!"
Looking at the situation, she thought for a moment and said, pulling the others to hide behind a nearby wall.
At this moment, due to Wang Weicai's policy, several villagers had already charged out.
Honestly, they might not be able to catch Li Qingfeng, but they were confident in catching a woman. If they couldn't even do that, they wouldn't deserve to live this long.
Wen Lingyun, listening to the sounds outside, was so scared she didn't dare to breathe.
"There are three paths. We'll split into three groups. As for who catches that mother and daughter, it's purely up to luck."
"Anyway, whoever catches them, according to Wang Weicai, they'll be our wives. So, anyone who catches someone around them can't have any ideas about him, okay?"
At this time, a relatively influential person in the village spoke.
In such a closed village, this kind of thing was a very common occurrence.
In fact, it was indeed like this.
Their reasoning was very simple: they had to ensure their own interests while also ensuring the interests of everyone else.
This... was their law!
Everyone understood the reasoning, and the subsequent matters became even simpler.
One group headed towards the innermost area, and the remaining group headed towards another area.
Looking at the scene before them, they were already familiar with the general route.
The next steps became very simple.
Wen Lingyun and Yue Miao stayed behind the tall wall, and the footsteps grew closer.
"I say, there are so many old walls in our village, they won't be hiding in here, will they?"
After an unknown period of time, the footsteps had reached their side.
And the voices of these fellows were gradually becoming clearer.
Hearing this, Yue Miao and Wen Lingyun began to panic.
For a moment, they were somewhat terrified.
But fortunately, at this moment, another fellow spoke, providing a divine assist.
He said, "Hey! Are you stupid? Do you know why your big brother is bringing you this way?"
"I don't know!"
"Why, big brother?"
Listening to the fellow's question, the young man asking was extremely naive and asked seriously.
For his earnest seeking of knowledge, the "big brother" felt very pleased.
Patting his shoulder, he said, "I call you a novice, and you still don't believe it! Do you remember where that broad who escaped a few times before always went?"
"To the highway!"
"What's the point of going to the highway?"
"Waiting to flag down a car to escape!"
"Then that's right. This is the closest path to the highway. Those guys never expected it, so I'm taking you this way!"
Perhaps because he finally had a chance to show his worth, this fellow began to boast wildly about his ideas.
The other fellow didn't have much to say about his ideas, just nodding earnestly.
"Then, big brother, if we catch those women, we should..."
The fellow paused at this point, leaving the decision to the leader.
"Hahaha!"
"We are good brothers, what can't we say? I'm older, so I'll take the older one, and the younger one named Ping'er will be yours!"
"As for Yue Miao, we can't touch her, after all, she's Wang Weicai's nominal wife!"
The distribution of the few people was directly resolved by this fellow in a few words.
The little fellow had no doubts about this method of resolution.
In fact, this was the best distribution method. From his understanding, he was just picking up scraps. As long as he had a chance to get a wife, he wouldn't lose.
"Then big brother, let's hurry!"
"It just so happens that they shouldn't have reached yet. Don't let it be like that day when a car came in the middle of the night and rescued them!"
"Right, right, we need to be quick."
Hearing this, the "big brother" was suddenly jolted awake.
He looked at the situation outside and ran wildly towards the exit.
When these fellows left, Wen Lingyun and Yue Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, the two of them finally reached the main road, but there was already a line of people standing there, all villagers who had separated earlier.
Everyone had actually converged so quickly??
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
After all, they had no way to judge this situation.
