Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

After pushing the man aside, Wang An moved on to the next person.

Perhaps it was because that person set a good example for everyone, or perhaps they were all the same kind of people.

Anyway, when Wang An walked up to the next person, what awaited him was not resistance, but just like the previous person, this person also stretched out his face.

Wang An grinned, said nothing more, raised his hand and slapped the man across the face, then shoved him aside and moved on to the next person.

These people had clearly resigned themselves to their fate, or more accurately, they had accepted being slapped without resistance, simply waiting to be beaten.

They all pulled off these ridiculous stunts, making Wang An feel like he was missing out on all the fun.

Just as Wang An finished slapping them one by one and, seeing that the garrison officers or militiamen hadn't come over, was about to ask them to move their vehicles, several garrison officers wearing peaked caps and uniforms rode over on old-fashioned bicycles.

What Wang An didn't expect was that the people leading the team were actually Shi Suo's subordinates, Yang Jingsong and Yu Qingguo.

The two men were taken aback when they saw it was Wang An, but Yang Jinsong immediately greeted him with a smile:

"Brother Xiao An, you're back at work?"

Both men knew that Wang An was a company commander but never went to work, so they assumed that Wang An was handling the gunshot incident in the current situation.

Wang An replied with a smile:
"No, I'm too busy with my daily tasks to have time for work. Hehehe."

When Wang An said this, everyone present was taken aback.

When did going to work stop being considered a serious matter?

I reckon only Wang An could say something like that.

Ignoring the surprised looks from the crowd, Wang An took out cigarettes and offered them to Yang Jingsong and the others before asking:
"Who are you responsible for patrolling this area today?"

Yang Jinsong took the cigarette and smiled:

"We've always been responsible for this area. We're the ones who install the lock pipes west of the county town. By the way, Brother Xiao An, what are you doing wandering around here?"

Wang An pointed to the large Liberation truck, then to the two hand-operated tractors parked side by side blocking the road, and said with a speechless expression:

"Well, here I am, hauling fertilizer, and these two tractors blocked my way. I asked them to move their vehicles, but not only did they refuse, they started acting tough with me. So I had my brother beat the guy up."

As he spoke, Wang An pointed to the boy who hadn't gotten up since being knocked down by Wang Li, and continued:

"My brother beat that kid up, and these guys wouldn't let him. Those two guys pulled out guns and were about to shoot us. It scared me half to death, so I pulled out my gun first and fired two shots into the air. Those two shots were fired by me, hehehehe."

After saying that, Wang An waved his hand at Mu Xueli and said:
"Xue Li, give those two guns to Brother Yang."

Turning his head, Wang An said to Yang Jinsong:
"Brother Yang, these are the guns we seized. You can keep them; it'll save me a trip back to the station."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jinsong immediately understood what was going on and, without further ado, addressed his colleagues:
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Jiang, Xiao Dong, tie up those two guys who pulled out guns. Damn it, they dared to use guns against us, they must be crazy."

Upon hearing this, the four men took out their silver bracelets and walked towards the two men.

At this moment, perhaps feeling that his personal safety was guaranteed, the boy who had been knocked down by Wang Li struggled to his feet, his face full of indignation, and said:
"Comrade, he was the one who fired the gun. We just took out our guns but didn't fire them. Why are we being arrested and not him?"

As he spoke, the man pointed at Wang An, as if he wanted to be fair.

Yu Qingguo stepped forward, raised his foot, and kicked the young man, cursing as he said, "Are you really blind? He's a platoon leader, he has a gun license, we're from the same unit, do you have a gun license?"

Although this kid is quite skilled, he really didn't dare to fight back when Yu Qingguo kicked him.

If he dares to fight back, things will definitely get much more serious.

Upon hearing Yu Qingguo's words, everyone was stunned and fell silent. They obediently extended their hands, allowing Yu Qingguo and the others to put silver bracelets on their wrists.

The main reason they didn't expect it was a company guard who asked them to move their car and make way.

The group of people who had seemed quite normal just moments before suddenly wilted like eggplants after a frost.

That's it, that's all over. Not only did I get beaten up for nothing, but I'll also have to stay in jail for a while.

The person who received a kick to the chest, the person whose teeth were knocked out, and the person who knew martial arts were all utterly devastated, their faces ashen.

Because their behavior is almost tantamount to courting death.

They blocked the path of the company's garrison commander, provoke him, and even tried to shoot him.
Their series of bizarre actions will likely land all three of them in jail for at least a few years.

In any case, it's definitely not going to happen in two or three years.

If you want to bail them out, how powerful and influential would you have to be to do it?

As for those few who threw down their weapons and surrendered voluntarily, Wang An didn't intend to do anything to them. He figured they could just stay in there for ten days or half a month.

After all, none of them actually did anything; they just chattered and cursed a few times.

After putting the silver bracelets on these people, Wang An explained the details again. Yang Jinsong and the others nodded, but did not say how to handle the matter.

The main thing is that they have to follow the locksmith's instructions.

Just as Yang Jingsong and his group were worrying about how to bring these people back, Wang An chuckled and reminded them:
"Those two hand tractors belong to them. One of them isn't broken. Wouldn't it be better to just put it on a tractor and have them take it back?"

Yang Jinsong slapped his thigh and said with a big smile:
"Yeah, these are ready-made transportation tools. Anyway, these two tractors will be confiscated as stolen goods. Hahaha, it's all thanks to you, Brother Xiao An!"

Wang An kindly reminded him again:

"Can you drive this tractor? Or should I drive it back for you?"

Yang Jinsong waved his hand dismissively and said:

"Do you know what I used to do? I worked in the Great Northern Wilderness reclamation team. I can drive a hand tractor, let alone a tracked tractor."

Wang An laughed heartily and said:

"Okay, we'll help you chain these two tractors together, and then you can just tow the broken one back."

Yang Jinsong said with a smile:
"Alright, thanks a lot, Brother Xiao An! Hahahaha."

And so, Yang Jinsong drove off in his tractor, towing another tractor behind him, with the group of people sitting in the back. On either side of the tractors, patrolmen on bicycles kept watch. The whole group drove off in a flurry. (End of Chapter)
