The group of them came back like heroes, surrounded by more than half of the villagers, and surrounded by their relatives and friends. Most people thought that everyone came back together. After all, they called back to inform them the day before, but it turned out that was not the case.

.

"Before we left, you said that this trip was not going well and that we are really in danger now, so why didn't those people come back together?"

"Is someone injured? This doesn't give us any certainty. How can we feel at ease?"

"Don't be so pretentious. It's so uncomfortable. Something big must have happened. Otherwise, why would you be back?"

"Well, I said everyone else is fine. They just don't want to come back, so they continue to stay there to salvage. But they will be the only ones left after we come back, so it's hard to say whether there will be another conflict."

Some people are so troubled by the people around them that they keep asking questions, but they can only say a few words.

"Another conflict? Have you had conflicts before? Was it with locals?"

"Yeah, yeah, let's talk about it when we get back. How can we explain this in detail outside?"

The people who had just returned were annoyed by the people around them, so they could only speed up their pace.

A large group of people were separated from each other and dispersed after reaching a fork in the road.

Ye Yaodong hugged Ye Xiaoxi in Lin Xiuqing's arms. The child kept jumping and screaming at him, showing all kinds of dishonesty. He used the short beard on his face to prick her white face and listened to her crisp giggles.

Laughter, a smile on his face.

"Do you miss Dad?"

"Think~"

"It's heavy again, I need to eat less."

Ye Xiaoxi grinned and used his two chubby little hands to pinch the flesh on both sides of his cheeks.

The atmosphere around me instantly became warm.

A group of them took the lead to leave the large army and go to the door of their own homes. They were also surrounded by a large circle of relatives and neighbors. Some of them were members of their own family who had not returned yet. They all surrounded him, ready to find out what the reason was.

, even Ye Yaosheng’s wife is here.

As soon as I walked into the yard, before I took a sip of water or even sat down, the yard was already filled with neighbors and relatives.

"We're all here now, Adong, let me tell you what happened. Why are you the only ones back?"

"This made us anxious to death. We didn't come back and didn't tell you in advance. Only a few of you called yesterday and said you would come back today. Everyone thought they were all back."

"Yeah, even though I was there for ten and a half months, no one called me back to report anything. I thought I was making a lot of money and didn't have time to call..."

"Let Dongzi rest first. He must be starving when he comes back..." The old lady's voice was drowned out by everyone as soon as she spoke.

"I'm really worried. All the men in the family have gone out and I don't know what's going on. They don't know how to call back..."

With so many people gathered around waiting to hear the news, Ye Yaodong couldn't rest. After putting the child down, he stood on the doorstep and shouted to everyone.

"Don't worry, you all. We all said they are fine. They are fine. If you want to hear what happened over there, I will tell you. Why are you anxious?"

Next door, there were many people from Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua. They were all standing at the door talking. It was a mess. Everyone was eager to know what happened, so they only came back partially.

Ye Yaodong told everyone that a group of people in the town had a conflict with the locals some time ago, and a shootout ensued. They were all arrested, and even half of them were arrested before they could escape. I will tell you this one by one.

"So those who stayed were either caught at the time and didn't make any money, or they were too greedy and couldn't bear to come back, so half of them were left there. We thought it would be too chaotic, so we came back first."

"Understand? Don't keep asking. This is what happened. If you don't believe it, just wait until someone calls back in a few days and ask carefully."

"Why...why are you still in jail..."

"This is too unlucky. Those people in the town suffered thousands of blows, and our side was also affected..."

Mother Ye patted her thigh, "What a bad luck. You were arrested and imprisoned, and you were asked to spend a lot of money to redeem yourself. You invited so many people, and you didn't have to pay thousands of dollars? How come each of them is so poor?

You don't even know how to run, but you can still be caught."

Father Ye's face turned dark, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua from next door also said loudly: "Thanks to Dongzi's connections and the intercession of the leaders he knew, the villagers were able to be released. All they have to do is pay for their redemption."

"Otherwise, you will have to sit in jail with the people in the town waiting to be sentenced. Some of them heard that they will be shot."

"This is too tragic. I used to make money, but now I'm in jail and have to be shot..."

"Then has my man been arrested before?"

"Caught and then ransomed..."

"Sigh... No wonder they didn't come back or call to report that they were safe. It turns out they were in jail and didn't make any money..."

“I didn’t have the dignity to come back without making any money, so I continued to stay there…”

Ye Yaosheng's daughter-in-law, who was pregnant, also pulled Ye Yaodong and asked: "Ah Sheng called and sent money back some time ago. Did he not come back even though he made money?"

Ye Yaodong frowned and told the truth: "His brother A Guo and A Guo's brothers-in-law were arrested and asked him to help with the redemption. He put in all the money and owed A Guang 1,000 yuan. I didn't know it two days ago.

Have you paid it back? Anyway, he said that he wanted to stay there and earn a little more, so he would be careful and let me come back to help him make sure he was safe."

Ah Sheng's wife stared at Ye Yaoguo's wife next to her as if she wanted to eat someone.

"Don't talk nonsense..." Ye Yaoguo's wife said as she backed away and ran out directly.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about their farce and went inside first to drink some water.

The yard was still noisy, and everyone didn't leave even after knowing the whole story. They still discussed with each other there, and continued to ask questions when they encountered something they didn't understand.

Father Ye also helped: "It's good to be able to come back alive this time. The more you earn, the less you earn. Life is worth it. Like the group of people in the town, they went to hundreds of places and only 15 people came back. Their

It’s so miserable, we are already lucky.”

"Then I don't know how to call back and say..."

"Whether you make money or not, the most important thing is to come back safely..."

"You are all back. I don't know what will happen if I leave them there. A Dong is so capable. Without him, I don't know if they are safe..."

Everyone in the yard was whispering, and their family was the first to enter the house. Anyway, the situation was clearly explained to the villagers, and the rest was left to them to guess.

Lin Xiuqing brought him tea and water and laid out the food, "I know you are coming back today and have reserved dinner in advance. Let's eat first. If we have anything to say, we can talk about it after dinner."

The old lady nodded, "Yes, yes, I've already made it clear, so don't worry about them. You fill your stomach first."

Mother Ye also sat at the table and held her chin, "I didn't expect that I gave you the correct information. Fortunately, everyone in our village is fine, otherwise I don't know what the trouble would be. Now that you come back early, what will happen to the rest of the people?"

It's none of our business."

"That's right. If something happened to someone from our village, I guess everyone would not come to ask questions today, but would knock on the door." The old lady was frightened for a moment, "Just come back, no matter how much money you make, your life will be lost."

important."

"Now that I have been to the prison one by one, you still managed to get me out by finding some connections. You will still have to thank us when the time comes."

Father Ye argued, "It doesn't count as being in jail. I was just detained for a few days. I stayed in the police station, not in jail."

"What's the difference? Otherwise, I'd be arrested and squatted for a few days, and my reputation wouldn't be good."

Ye's mother ignored Father Ye's darkened face and continued to say: "Fortunately, some of our family members were not arrested and imprisoned. Otherwise, where would I have put my face?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at his father and said helpfully, "No, so many people have been arrested, and it's not just one or two. It's not like they were singled out and said that everyone is the same."

"Then it would be a shame."

"Say less and no one will think you are mute."

"What's wrong? Why don't you let others talk about it? You haven't been arrested."

Father Ye didn't dare to say anything.

Ye Yaodong said: "Many of our relatives and friends have been arrested. Don't just yell and poke people's hearts. Some of them haven't come back yet."

Lin Xiuqing asked worriedly: "There are only a few people from the town who have returned, so they won't find us, right?"

Mother Ye patted the table and said, "Why are they looking for us? They are seeking death and causing trouble for us. If they dare to come to our door, we will be kicked out."

The old lady said: "They are really pitiful. They haven't earned enough money and everyone is gone. The boat is probably gone as well. The whole family has to rely on the men in the family. The backbone is gone. They don't know what to do for the rest of their lives."

"Then they definitely can't come to us. It's not us who caused the trouble. It was them who caused the trouble. We kindly brought the remaining people back."

Lin Xiuqing agreed: "What mother is saying is right. It was not us who caused the harm. Why should they come to us? Those people we helped send back will definitely explain the matter clearly. It is none of our business in the first place."

Father Ye looked at Ye Yaodong, "Maybe I can ask you to intercede and ask you to help get the person out."

Ye Yaodong paused, this is possible.

People and money are gone, people are gone, and the boat is gone. They are never so willing. Everyone on their side is safe, and the boat is back. It just cost a little money.

Comparing the two sides, it is possible to come to them and ask for some compensation, but it is more likely that they will also help to recruit people.

But, how can he have that ability...

Being able to get everyone in the village out is already a huge honor to Heaven, and the life-saving grace has been repaid.

This is entirely based on conscience. If people don't recognize your life-saving grace, you have nothing to do. How dare you ask for repayment over and over again.

Mother Ye looked at Ye Yaodong suspiciously, "When did you become so capable?"

"My damn skills are going to kill me, but I can still snatch people back from the hands of the King of Hell? Do I run the public security bureau, the court, or the prison? Do you think I am the emperor? In one sentence

Can everyone be acquitted?"
