The door was not open, but Liu Qiaoer could hear some noise in the yard.
Liu Qiaoer handed the child to Wang Juan and gestured to her to hide in the corner with the child.
Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao looked at each other, Cui Boxiao took the wooden warehouse in his hand, and Liu Qiaoer used the clip to open the door lock.
With a "bang", the door opened and Cui Boyao rushed in first, followed by Liu Qiaoer who also rushed in with a wooden warehouse.
The yard is not small, and there are four or five doors in the bungalow, all of which are locked.
Liu Qiaoer said loudly: "We are here to look for Jianjian's family. If you know, please come out. We won't hurt anyone. We are from the next village."
There was no sound in the room. Liu Qiaoer walked towards the large room in the middle.
The house was bolted from the inside. Just as Liu Qiaoer was about to knock on the glass, someone quickly opened the door.
"Don't knock. The wind will blow into the house and we will be cold."
Liu Qiaoer saw a room full of women, old people, and children. She waved to Wang Juan, and Wang Juan called the child in.
The child suddenly threw himself into the arms of an old woman: "Grandma..."
When the people inside saw that they were really there to send the child off, they gradually let down their guard.
"Are you from the next village? Are you from Jianying's in-laws' family?"
Liu Qiaoer nodded.
The old woman's eyes turned red and she wiped away her tears: "If Jianying had stayed in your village with the child, nothing would have happened. Alas..."
It turned out that after Cheng Jianying's husband died, she was wronged in the village and wanted to go back to her mother's home to ask her brothers for help.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the village with their children, they were stopped by the village bully.
Cheng Jianying was forced to go home to get supplies. Cheng Jianying's brother and sister-in-law came to help, but they were all beaten.
Cheng Jianying was accidentally beaten to death by them and the supplies were not obtained. When the bullies saw the dead body, they all ran away.
The child ran back to the village by himself.
Liu Qiaoer said that the child was too young and had no relatives to take care of him, so she asked him to come and find his relatives.
The old woman sighed and led the people to the inner room. Jianjian's uncle was beaten with a bloody head and his aunt's face was also swollen.
Liu Qiaoer had some medicine with her and bandaged him. Jianjian's uncle was so angry that he trembled all over.
"They were all a group. When they first came to our village, we had just harvested grain and didn't plan to keep them. Thanks to the old village secretary, every household took in two or three people after persuading them."
"Who knows, a few criminals killed people for food. Now the leaders don't care about us anymore. They don't even send us supplies, leaving us to fend for ourselves."
At this point, others spoke up.
"We outsiders are not all bad people. There are only a few of us. One bad apple spoils the whole barrel. They robbed a few houses and were ready to rob them all. Sigh, they are lawless."
Liu Qiaoer asked: "So there aren't many people who do evil. How many are there? And where are they gathering? I'm not familiar with your village. Can someone show me the way?"
Jianjian's uncle's name is Cheng Jianhua. When he heard that Liu Qiaoer was willing to help them, he was very happy, as if he had seen a savior.
"I know. I'm familiar with the village. I'll lead you. As long as you can deal with that group of people and our village returns to normal order, the leaders will give us supplies again."
Cui Boyao said: "The supplies to your village are the same as ours, delivered every ten days, but they are just occupying them."
Cheng Jianhua also knew: "Our villagers cannot organize themselves, they are all cowards, otherwise, how could we be occupied by people from other villages."
Liu Qiaoer said: "Don't say so much, let's go and take a look first."
Cheng Jianhua was a little worried when he saw that only Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao were there.
"It's just the two of you, okay? There are a lot of them."
Liu Qiaoer: "It doesn't matter. We have helpers with us. Can't you organize some people you know?"
Cheng Jianhua showed her his phone and said, "They have destroyed the signal in the village. We can't access the Internet and can't get in touch with them."
Cui Boyao glanced around the room and saw that in addition to the elderly, the weak and the sick, there were four or five young people.
"Well, let's follow him to find those people first, and you guys go contact the people in the village and call over anyone who is willing to resist."
Cheng Jianhua asked again: "What if they find out?"
Liu Qiaoer smiled contemptuously: "Catch the leader first. We have captured the leaders. Even if the others want to do something bad, they dare not do it at this time."
Liu Qiaoer was helping the people in the village to restore order, not arresting people at random.
Cheng Jianhua said, "Okay, I'll lead you there. The rest of you, go contact the people in this village. Don't alarm any outsiders."
Several outsiders in the house were driven into the next room and locked up. Although these outsiders were innocent, they were no longer trusted by the villagers.
The rest of the villagers stayed in the house. Liu Qiaoer asked them to take hoes and sticks and protect themselves first.
Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao, led by Cheng Jianhua, left the yard.
The place occupied by the bad guys was the village committee. They killed the village chief and beat up the village leaders. After preventing them from taking charge of things, they occupied the village committee.
There is food, drink and shelter inside. Once supplies arrive, they will hide them for their own use. If someone comes to ask for them, not only will they not give them, but they will also be beaten.
If they don't have enough food, they will indiscriminately steal food from the villagers.
Some villagers drove out all the outsiders.
Fortunately, there are not many outsiders in this village.
Cheng Jianhua took them to the edge of the village committee and stopped moving forward.
"They are inside, you have to be careful, I won't go in."
Liu Qiaoer asked: "Are there many people inside?"
Cheng Jianhua said: "The first time, we sent over fifty outsiders, who were dispersed among the households in the village. These bad guys were among the one hundred people sent the second time. The outsiders are all here, quite a few, at least over one hundred."
Liu Qiaoer and Cui Boxiao looked at each other and changed their equipment.
Cheng Jianhua looked at what they had in their hands and was stunned: "I will go back and organize the villagers to support you."
Liu Qiaoer nodded, and Cheng Jianhua gained confidence and went back happily.
Cui Boyao carefully observed the surroundings, pointed to a window and said, "Let's go to the roof first, then go in from there and check each room one by one."
The two of them went around to the back of the yard, went up to the second floor, and looked down from the roof. There were not many people in the yard, and they were all inside the house.
The neighborhood committee office building is on the second floor. There are carports and rooms on both sides of the yard, which are also full of people.
It seems that there are more than a hundred outsiders here, and there are quite a lot of supplies, just under the carport. It is afternoon now, and after dinner, everyone is resting in the room, and some are even in the mood to play poker.
Cui Boyao is indeed an expert in rock climbing. He hung upside down from the roof and opened the window in the corridor on the second floor.
He and Liu Qiaoer entered the corridor on the second floor silently and checked room by room. They did not go into the rooms where women and children lived.
Seeing that there was an iron door on the first and second floors, Liu Qiaoer raised her eyebrows and locked the door for them.
The two came to the first floor.
