Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

"Village chief, quickly use the village office's phone to call the Xiangyang Commune Police Station."

Pang Ma Fu drove the carriage at breakneck speed to the village office of Guapigou Village. After jumping off the carriage, he practically barged into the village office.

As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cold wind rushed into the room, startling the village chief who was working at his desk inside.

"Old Pang, what happened so urgently?"

"Something terrible has happened."

"Pang Mafu said anxiously."

"What serious incident has occurred?"

The village chief pressed for an answer.

"Zhan Kui's daughter, Hongmei, went to the market in Xiangyang Commune with Su Lihua, a young woman from our village who was sent to the countryside. On their way back, they encountered a group of highway robbers..."

"What? We ran into highway robbers? Are Hongmei and Su Zhiqing alright?"

The village chief was also taken aback by Pang Mafu's words.

Highway robbers are often associated with roadside robbery, and even murder and the disregard for human life.

Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua, both educated youth, were women. If they encountered highway robbers and bandits, wouldn't that be...?

Thinking of this, and seeing Pang Ma Fu's panicked expression, the village chief suddenly had a bad feeling.

But at that moment, Pang Mafu unexpectedly said, "It's alright, they're all fine."

"Village chief, let me tell you, Zhan Kui's daughter is really something else. I don't know what she was thinking, but she actually bought a hunting rifle. On her way back, she ran into some highway robbers, and that girl Hongmei took down two of them with just two shots. The rest of the highway robbers were scared away by her."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, one of the highway robbers that Hongmei shot down with two shots, you know him too."

At first, Pang Mafu spoke with great enthusiasm, which completely surprised the village chief.

I heard that Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua, a former educated youth, encountered highway robbers on their way back to the village, which gave the village chief quite a fright.

But then, when Pang Ma Fu said that Gao Hongmei had taken down two highway robbers with two shots from her newly bought hunting rifle, the village chief was once again terrified.

Everyone knows that Gao Zhankui's daughter, Gao Hongmei, has a fiery and outspoken personality. She even dared to go hunting in the mountains with Li Yunshan. But who would have thought that this girl could remain calm and shoot down the highway robbers that everyone feared?

However, the village chief was also puzzled. Among the bandits and highwaymen that Pang Ma Fu mentioned Gao Hongmei had shot down with two shots, there was someone he knew. Who was this person?

"Who is it?"

The village chief asked.

"It was Li Jianren. He was shot in the thigh by Zhan Kui's daughter, Hongmei. He was already unconscious when I came back to report the news."

"That's what Pang Mafu said."

"It's him?"

The village chief was somewhat surprised.

Because Li Jianren is the son of the former village chief. Although he is usually idle and doesn't do any proper work, he hasn't caused any trouble over the years.

The village chief had thought that Yu Ergou's example would serve as a warning to the small group of idle young people in the village, but he never expected that killing the chicken would not deter the monkey.

Li Jianren, a man who usually did nothing but never caused any trouble, actually went and became a highway robber.

Or rather, he had actually done many shady things over the years, but none of them had come to light.

Unfortunately, Li Jianren ran into Gao Hongmei this time, and ended up getting himself into trouble.

"Old Pang, go to the militia captain and gather the village militia. I'll call the commune police station to report the incident."

Although Li Jianren was the son of the former village chief, the village chief never intended to abuse his power or suppress the matter privately.

Because every country has its laws, and Lee Kin-yan has broken the law, he should be punished by the law.

So, after Pang Mafu left the village office, he picked up the office landline and called the Xiangyang Commune Police Station: "Hello, is this the Xiangyang Commune Police Station? I'm the village head of Guapigou Village, we're here..."

The call was very short, lasting less than two minutes.

After calling the commune police station, the village chief put on his military green cotton overcoat and hat and left the village office.

……

"What? Uncle Pang, you're saying Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua ran into highway robbers on their way back from the commune? And Gao Hongmei took down two highway robbers with just two shots?"

After Pang Mafu went to inform the village militia captain to gather the militia, he originally intended to drive the carriage back to pick up Gao Hongmei and the others. However, when he passed by Li Yunshan's house, he thought about it. Li Yunshan was, after all, Gao Hongmei's ex-husband, and Gao Zhankui had just undergone fracture surgery some time ago. In order to avoid Gao Zhankui being worried, he decided to inform Li Yunshan instead.

After all, Gao Hongmei had been spending a lot of time with Li Yunshan lately, and the two often went hunting in the mountains together.

Ultimately, Pang Mafu believed that Gao Hongmei's purchase of the hunting rifle was most likely related to Li Yunshan.

That girl has a fiery personality and is very outspoken. She went hunting in the mountains with Li Yunshan a few times, which made her wilder. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to shoot at the highwaymen.

However, when Pang Ma Fu told Li Yunshan that Gao Hongmei had encountered highway robbers and had even taken down two of them with a shotgun, Li Yunshan was also shocked.

Where did that tiger woman get her hunting rifle?

But then he thought that Gao Hongmei had come to his house early this morning, taken the deerskin, and gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell it. He figured she must have bought the hunting rifle after selling the deerskin and having some money in hand.

"Uncle Pang, are my eldest and second sisters alright?"

Lin Xiulan asked quickly.

"It's alright, nothing's wrong, don't worry. I've already notified the village chief to call the commune police station."

"Pang Mafu said with a smile."

Lin Xiulan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had no blood relation to Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua, they were the people who helped her the most after she married Li Yunshan.

In the past, Li Yunshan often bullied her, but Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua always stood up for her. They never forgot her when there was food or drink available.

In Lin Xiulan's heart, Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua were just like her own older sisters.

"Xiulan, I'm going out to check on Hongmei and Lihua. You stay home and wait for me to come back."

As Li Yunshan spoke, he put on a thick cotton-padded coat, picked up his hunting rifle, and left home with Pang Mafu.

When Li Yunshan and Pang Ma arrived at the scene, the village chief, the village militia captain, several militiamen, and the village doctor were already there.

The militia tied the hands of the two highway robbers with ropes, and the village doctor was trying to stop the bleeding from their bullet wounds in the thighs. The police from the commune police station had not yet arrived.

However, Li Yunshan was somewhat surprised when he saw that one of the two highway robbers was actually Li Jianren from the same village.

In his previous life, when Su Lihua first came to Guapigou Village from the city as an educated youth sent to the countryside, Li Yunshan knew that Li Jianren liked Su Lihua, and even went to the educated youth settlement to fawn over her.

However, he beat her to it and married Su Lihua.

Later, he divorced Su Lihua, and Su Lihua moved back to the educated youth settlement. Li Jianren relapsed into his old ways and often went to the educated youth settlement to fawn over Su Lihua.

Even later, when the educated youth who had been sent to the countryside returned to the city one after another, leaving only Su Lihua, and coincidentally the educated youth settlement collapsed, Su Lihua moved to Gao Hongmei's house. After living with Gao Hongmei, Li Jianren remained incorrigible and would occasionally go to Su Lihua to curry favor.

So, is Li Jianren here today because of Su Lihua?

Li Yunshan couldn't help but think to himself.

When the militia captain and others saw that it was Li Jianren who had committed such illegal and criminal acts as highway robbery, their faces instantly turned ugly.

"Li Jianren, you son of a bitch, how could you do something like highway robbery? How can you face your father in heaven? Where do you put your mother, your brothers and sisters' faces?"

The militia captain pointed at Li Jianren, his fingers trembling slightly, and he cursed Li Jianren almost through gritted teeth.

Li Jianren, who had just regained consciousness from unconsciousness, was scolded by the militia captain with great disappointment. His face was already pale due to excessive blood loss, and the scolding made him even paler.

The other militiamen, seeing this, couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Back in the day, when the old village chief was in office, he was diligent and honest, managing all the affairs of the village in an orderly manner, and was deeply trusted by the villagers.

But who would have thought that less than five years after the old village chief passed away, his son, who not only did nothing but also committed highway robbery, would bring shame to the old village chief even in the afterlife.

"Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Captain, I know I was wrong. Please, for my father's sake, forgive me this time. I really know I was wrong."

"Don't make a big deal out of this. Making a big deal out of it is bad for me and for our village. Let's just let this go. You can punish me however you want, beat me however you want, but please don't call the police or involve the public security bureau."

Hearing the militia captain's scolding and cursing, Li Jianren disregarded the fact that the village doctor had not yet dug the bullet out of his thigh and immediately knelt on the ground and begged.

The village chief and the militia captain couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing deep disappointment in each other's eyes.

It was a highway robbery, and it was a gang crime. Did Li Jianren really think he could make a big deal out of it and then let it go?

If everyone thought that if nothing happened, they could rest easy, and if something did happen, they could make a big deal out of it and then ignore it altogether, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Where will the country's laws be placed?

Moreover, even if you want to downplay the issue, Gao Hongmei and Su Lihua might not agree.

"Li Jianren, give up. We've already called the commune police station to report this. The police will be here soon."

At this moment, Pompeo couldn't help but interject with a comment.

Just then, the faint sound of a police siren rang out from a great distance.

The instant they heard the siren, Li Jianren and another masked man who had been shot in the thigh by Gao Hongmei collapsed to the ground as if their spines had been removed.

The sirens blared, the police arrived, and their fate was predictable.
