Chapter 1082 Heavy Casualties
They hired two simple farmers, who, when they heard that they were going up the mountain to rescue people, simply said they didn't want any money.
"Those soldiers are the village's saviors!"
"Without their help, we can't deal with the criminals lurking in the mountains."
"No wonder there have always been people disappearing in our village for no reason in the past few years. Some were killed because their secrets were discovered, and some got involved with them in order to survive and became bad guys."
"Our village is remote to begin with, and even if someone commits a crime, we can't do anything."
"If these soldiers hadn't gone deep inside this time, we wouldn't know what kind of dire situation we would be in."
Jiang Wan learned from the villagers that the village attracted many people to come and mine because of the rare metals.
At first they offered high wages and everyone was willing to go, but later everyone found that people who had mined this metal had various health problems.
People gradually realized that mining this rare metal would be fatal.
So later, no matter how much money they offered, people in the village were unwilling to go.
These people came up with a crooked trick. First, they secretly tricked people from the village into going up the mountain, and then restricted everyone's personal freedom.
Later, when there were still not enough people, they just robbed people openly.
Almost all the young and middle-aged men in the village were kidnapped, and if anyone resisted they would kill them directly.
Their behavior angered the village cadres, who secretly reported the case to the police.
Unexpectedly, someone in the local public security bureau had already been bribed.
When their people arrived, they were not only driven out, but also caught and beaten.
They were extremely cruel, beating people so hard that they couldn't get out of bed. They even threatened that all the people in the Public Security Bureau were theirs and they would kill anyone who dared to report the crime.
After this incident, the people in the village became much quieter.
They were afraid that all the people in the Public Security Bureau were their people, so they dared not take any action.
It was not until a villager who had been serving in the army in another place came back to visit his family that he discovered this strange situation.
He remained calm at first, and then secretly contacted the troops after returning.
So the army sent a large number of people over, but when they arrived at the place they found out that they were not ordinary human traffickers!
They had already established a large scale in that area on the mountain, with a total of more than 100 men and women as managers.
What's even more terrifying is that they have guns!
Later, a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, and the other side even took out grenades.
It was not until this time that the troops realized that these people were not ordinary people.
They are most likely spies sent by the enemy country, lurking in the village to mine rare metals.
Because this rare metal is very troublesome to mine, it will also cause great pollution and casualties.
So in order to accomplish the task, the people in the village must be forced to do these things.
The situation had escalated at this point, but the troops who came over did not realize the seriousness of the problem at first.
By the time they were discovered, there were heavy casualties due to the fighting between the two sides.
Now there are many soldiers injured, and those who are seriously injured and unable to move are left in the village.
Those with minor injuries were sent away overnight, and now all the hospitals in the town are full.
The reason they were in town was to see what was going on.
The main thought is that if anyone wants to enter the village, they can help lead the way.
Unexpectedly, someone actually found them. I heard that they were family members of soldiers who drove here from the neighboring province, and a doctor came with them.
In order to repay their kindness, the villagers had no nerve to accept their money.
Although it was night and pitch black, they walked steadily.
Whenever there is danger, they will point it out in advance and help avoid it, making sure they don't get hurt.
However, the mountain road was rugged, and I had to take one deep step and one shallow step along the way. I almost tripped over rocks several times.
Jiang Wan's expression didn't change at all, and he continued to follow them forward firmly.
When you first saw Jiang Wan looking delicate, you thought she was unreliable.
Unexpectedly, after walking on the mountain road for several hours, she didn't even frown.
Taking their physical condition into consideration, the villagers stopped several times to let them rest.
Jiang Wan would always ask Dr. Zhang what he thought. As long as Dr. Zhang said she could still hold on, she would never stop.
If Dr. Zhang was too tired to walk, Jiang Wan would stop and sit for a while.
But at this time she would be very anxious and would stand up and walk around after sitting for a while.
Seeing her like this, everyone naturally felt embarrassed to rest for too long.
Basically, after a few minutes, we would drink some water, eat something, and rest for a while before setting off.
Jiang Wan seemed to know no fatigue. He walked on the mountain road for more than 5 hours under the cover of night before finally arriving at the village.
It was one o'clock in the morning and many people in the village had already gone to bed.
The villagers took them to the health center and found that the lights were still on.
The door of the clinic was open and many wounded people were lying outside.
Because the clinic’s area is limited, it cannot accommodate so many patients at the same time.
So the villagers organized themselves and took mattresses and quilts from their homes and spread them on the ground as temporary beds.
There are three layers of people outside the clinic, just to protect everyone's lives and safety.
There are several doctors in the clinic who stay up late to treat patients.
But there are too many patients and their symptoms are too serious.
They wish they could turn into the Thousand-Armed Guanyin so that they could cure several people at once.
But unfortunately, they are just ordinary people with one pair of hands and two legs.
No matter how anxious they are, they can only come one by one.
As soon as Jiang Wangang walked over with Doctor Zhang, they were pointed at with guns by soldiers armed with live ammunition.
Jiang Wan was not afraid when he saw the black muzzle of the gun and took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Hello, comrade. I am the family member of Company Commander Cheng Jinnian. I just rushed here from the provincial capital after learning that my husband was in trouble."
As Jiang Wan spoke, he took out his ID and generously spread it out for the soldiers to check.
"My mother-in-law got the news from a phone call to the army, so I rushed over as soon as possible."
"This is Dr. Zhang, a famous doctor in Hong Kong. He came to discuss cooperation with me this time."
"He heard about this kind of thing and offered to come over to help."
Doctor Zhang bowed to everyone and then took out his ID and medical qualification certificate.
He opened his two boxes of equipment in front of everyone and let them examine them one by one.
"I really came here with Comrade Jiang to provide support. We have no ill intentions."
Both of them were very sincere. The soldiers checked their documents to make sure there were no problems, and then asked their leader for instructions. Only after the leader's approval did they let them in.
