Chapter 669 Looking for someone

Chapter 669 Looking for someone

By the time Wang Tiedan arrived at Dawang Village, it was already evening.

At this time, many people gathered in the village.

Wang Tiedan doesn’t know many of them yet.

"Tiedan, you are here."

When the villagers saw Wang Tiedan coming back, many of them came over.

"Second uncle, what's the situation now? Where's my brother, and where's my third uncle?"

"They have all gone into the mountains. Many people from the commune and surrounding villages have also come in to look for him, but there is no news yet."

Wang Tiedan glanced at the sky and saw that it would be dark in more than an hour.

If you really can't find it, you can only give up.

It's summer now. There are many mosquitoes, rats and snakes in the mountains and forests. There are also wolves, bears, wild boars, and legendary black tigers. It's really dangerous.

"What about the group of educated youth? How are they doing?"

"Several others followed him into the mountains, and the two seriously injured have been sent to the hospital."

"Seriously injured? How seriously injured?" Wang Tiedan asked hurriedly.

The second uncle shook his head, feeling helpless.

"One rolled down the hill and broke his leg, and the other was hit on the butt by a wild boar. Fortunately, the wild boar was not big, otherwise he would have been paralyzed from the waist down."

"Did they say where they were attacked?"

"It's where the hunting team used to hunt. There has been no hunting for over a year, and wild boars have proliferated there again. This group of people were unlucky and encountered a herd of wild boars. They were directly dispersed and must have lost their way.

I think we need to give them a good beating in the fall, otherwise they will come to the farms and cause trouble in the winter."

"Then fight, and prepare more bullets."

As they were chatting, another military vehicle came by the village entrance, followed by a military truck. At least thirty people, a platoon of soldiers, got off the vehicle.

The leader asked the soldiers to line up and quickly ran towards Wang Tiedan.

"Excuse me, village chief, are the village party secretary here? Who is in charge of the scene?"

Wang Tiedan turned around and looked around. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he had no choice but to walk out and took out his ID.

"Most of the villagers have gone into the mountains to look for him. The village chief has gone too. Tell me what's going on."

The man took the ID and opened it. He unexpectedly found that he was an officer. He hurriedly returned it to Wang Tiedan and saluted again.

"Comrade Wang, hello. I am Xie Guangzhi, the platoon leader of the third platoon of the defense company of the Beijing Garrison. I have been ordered to come here to look for someone. The situation is urgent. Can you help us find some hunters to go into the mountains?"

"hunter?"

Before Wang Tiedan could say anything, the second uncle spoke.

"All the young people in the village have gone into the mountains. There are no hunters left. To be honest, they can't find it. It's useless for you to go in."

"Old man, we have been ordered to find the three missing people. This is our mission. We are ready to fight overnight."

As he spoke, Xie Guangzhi took out a flashlight from his waist.

Wang Tiedan looked at the soldiers behind him. Each of them had one and was fully equipped.

It seems that he didn't lie.

"It's more dangerous at night, don't you want to live?" said the second uncle.

"This is an order, we must complete it."

"Okay, let me take you there, but I have to tell you first, don't shoot unless it's absolutely necessary. There should be villagers everywhere on the mountain looking for people, and it's easy to cause accidental injuries."

"Thank you, Comrade Wang."

Xie Guangzhi saluted and hurried back to gather the soldiers.

Wang Tiedan glanced at the back mountain, then at his watch, hoping that the village chief and others could find the person first.

"Tiedan, if you really want to go into the mountains, you can't do that. It's too dangerous in the mountains at night." The second uncle advised.

"It's okay, Second Uncle. It's already this late. I think Third Uncle and the others should have found the person."

"What if I can't find it?"

"If they can't find it, I'll go in from the back mountain. If they insist on looking for it, I'll ask the village chief to help show them the way."

"Yes, that's the way it should be. You must not go into the mountains."

"Row!"

After saying hello, Wang Tiedan took Xie Guangzhi and the others and walked towards the back mountain amid the villagers' concern.

First we passed by the breeding farm, and then the free-range base in the back mountain.

After another half an hour, the group climbed up another mountain and came to the edge of a dense forest. They could still faintly hear shouts from the mountains and the occasional barking of dogs.

At this time, the sun has already set on the horizon, and it will be dark in less than half an hour.

If it is dark, the dense forest is full of dangers for ordinary people.

"If you really want to go in, you can see that there are already many people looking for it in the mountains, but they can't find it, so it's useless for you to go in."

Wang Tiedan asked again.

Xie Guangzhi also knew the difficulty of finding someone, but he still said firmly: "We have to look for him even if we can't find him. This is an order and we must carry it out resolutely."

"alright."

At this time, Wang Tiedan couldn't stop them anymore, and pointed to the mountain in front and said, "They should have encountered the herd of wild boars on the mountain in front. If I guess correctly, the three people should have run behind the mountain to avoid them.

Behind the mountain is a canyon with bushes everywhere, making it easy to get lost.

There must be villagers looking for it ahead. You'd better split into two groups, one going left, the other going right, shouting as you go, maybe you'll get results."

Xie Guangzhi took out a telescope, identified the terrain, and had a rough idea in his mind.

"Thank you, Comrade Wang. Leave the rest to us."

"Okay, you must be careful."

"OK, thanks."

After saying that, Xie Guangzhi turned around and made arrangements.

The thirty soldiers quickly divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the right, and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

Wang Tiedan neither followed them nor left. He lit a bonfire on the top of the mountain and waited for the villagers to come back.

Time seems to flow faster in the mountains than outside.

In less than half an hour, it was completely dark.

The bonfire lit by Wang Tiedan on the top of the mountain was more conspicuous.

After a while, some villagers climbed up the mountain despite being exhausted.

"Tiedan, why is it you?"

The first group of people to arrive were the village chief and his companions. Due to their age and physical strength, they did not go too deep into the forest.

"Uncle San, still haven't found it?"

"No, this bonfire you lit is good. Let's get busy and add more firewood so that the villagers can see the fire and don't get lost."

Wang Dexing greeted.

The villagers responded immediately and started collecting firewood everywhere.

"Did they get separated on the mountain ahead?" Wang Tiedan asked.

"Yes, I'm afraid it's very dangerous. Even if they are lost, as long as they can't get out of these two mountains, they should hear the shouts, but we shouted for an entire afternoon and there was no response.

Either they have gone far away, or... Hey!"

As he spoke, Wang Dexing shook his head, expressing pessimism about the three people's experiences.

Wang Tiedan thought for a moment and asked again, "Uncle San, are there any caves or karst caves nearby? Is it possible that he fell into one?"

"We have searched all the caves and traps we know of nearby, but there are none. As for caves, there are quite a few around the reservoir. As for this side..."

Speaking of this, Wang Dexing was not quite sure, after all, he was not a hunter.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother."

"what happened?"

"Are there any caves near here?"

Wang Tiedan also looked at the fourth uncle, who was indeed a hunter before.

The fourth uncle shook his head.

"I don't come here often, so I haven't seen it. If you want to ask, you should ask our Third Uncle. Maybe he knows."

"The Third Master who keeps dogs?"

Wang Tiedan asked.

"Yes, that's him."

Just then, a sudden burst of gunfire startled everyone.

Wang Tiedan looked in the direction where the sound came from, and that was the direction where a group of soldiers disappeared.
