Chapter 327 A Good Village
Chapter 327 A Good Village
As Ning Yuan and his companions approached the wooden bridge, two people came out from both sides holding Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.
Before they could identify themselves, the two men put down their guns.
It was Wu Zhongguo and Tian Erliang.
Their eyesight was also quite good. As soon as Ning Yuan and his group showed up, they were spotted by the two of them and recognized quickly.
"Brother Yuan? You guys are back?"
After Wu Zhongguo shouted to Ning Yuan and the others, he walked straight towards the wooden bridge.
Ning Yuan also patted Wu Zhongguo's shoulder with satisfaction.
"Nothing happened these past two days, right?"
Wu Zhongguo shook his head and spoke to Ning Yuan with a happy expression.
"It's all right, Brother Yuan. Lao Tian and I take turns guarding the village entrance every day. Fatty and the others' wounds have healed a lot, so we can all take turns guarding."
Ning Yuan felt much more relieved when he heard that Fatty and the others had recovered a lot.
"That's fine. Come, call the brothers across the bridge and go into the village first. We'll have a meeting later to plan future development!"
After saying that, Ning Yuan led the people behind him to come over the wooden bridge in batches.
After all, it is just a small wooden bridge with average load-bearing capacity. If too many people crowd on it, there is no guarantee that it can hold up.
So Ning Yuan arranged for everyone to cross the bridge in batches.
"Brother Yuan, Fatty and the others are now living in the house that used to belong to the Fu family. Do you want me to take you over to see Fatty and the others first?"
Wu Zhongguo saw that everyone had crossed the bridge, then walked up to Ning Yuan and asked.
"Fu family?"
Ning Yuan remembered that this was the house where he and Uncle Zhang Desheng had a meal and slept for the night before leaving here two days ago.
"It's okay, Old Wu, you and Erliang should stay here for a while. I remember how to get to the Fu family. I'll have someone else come over to replace you. We'll have a good drink tonight!"
Considering that it would be a bit difficult for Tian Erliang to watch the entrance and exit of the village alone, Ning Yuan decided to let Wu Zhongguo watch it for a while.
There is just a straight road from the entrance to the village.
After Ning Yuan brought Meng Qing, Xiao Ningwei and others into the village, they walked towards the Fu family's house.
Fang Village actually occupies a very large area, almost half surrounded by Fangshan Valley.
Except for the mineral vein in the back mountain, the other three directions are enclosed by this ditch.
Sometimes, Ning Yuan even wondered if this ditch was dug by them.
But that was just his thought. When Ning Yuan saw the depth and width of the ditch, he knew that this was not a deep ditch that could be dug by human power.
Or to be more precise, it is not something that can be dug out by human power in this day and age.
So I have to admire those old guys. They fled into the mountains decades ago, but they were able to find and occupy such a place with an excellent geographical location.
It is true that except for the back mountain, the other three directions are deep ditches.
The area enclosed by this deep ditch is about three or four miles in size.
There are not many people in their village, so the houses are basically concentrated on the west side, in line with the wooden bridge at the entrance to the village.
The large tracts of land in the east are almost idle and of little use.
They just randomly planted some vegetables, fruits and melons, and no one took good care of them.
Ning Yuan and his men have no time to clean up these wastelands for the time being.
After arriving at the Fu family's house, Ning Yuan heard shouting inside the house before he even entered.
"Don't move! I'm losing! Hehe!"
A boastful voice came from the house, followed by the sound of shuffling cards.
No need to guess, this must be Fatty Fan's voice.
These guys haven't recovered from their injuries yet, they are really restless.
Ning Yuan pushed the door open and walked in. As expected, he saw six or seven people sitting around a square wooden table, happily playing mahjong.
Fatty Fan had an injured leg, so he could only half-sit on the edge of the bed.
They moved the wooden table next to the bed, just enough for the fat man to reach.
As soon as Ning Yuan entered the room, everyone in the room immediately turned their attention here.
When they saw Ning Yuan coming in, several friends who were playing mahjong hurriedly stood up and greeted Ning Yuan.
Fatty Fan had no way to get up, so after struggling for a while, he finally sat down heavily on the bed.
"How's it going? Looks like your injuries are almost healed!"
Ning Yuan actually didn’t care too much about it. It was just playing mahjong, not a big deal.
After being suppressed and controlled for so long, I can finally take a rest comfortably. How can I adjust if I don’t have some fun?
As Ning Yuan waved his hand casually, signaling his friends to sit down and talk, the atmosphere in the room became lively again.
Fatty Fan and Ning Yuan naturally have the best relationship, so they speak quite casually.
"It's definitely getting better. At least we can rest in bed and recuperate now. If we had continued with what those bastards did before, I'm afraid we wouldn't even make it through this year and would all be dead here!"
Ning Yuan also walked to the bed and sat down next to Fatty Fan.
"Okay, that's good. Remember to keep an eye on us brothers and apply the medicine every day. Don't let them just play around. This time I also brought back the female educated youth from Fu'an Township!"
"Have you brought them all here? Where's that kid Ning Wei?"
After hearing this, the first person the fat man asked was Ning Wei.
It is understandable. After all, Fatty Fan, Ning Yuan, Zhong Yuemin and their brothers all live in Courtyard No. 2 in Shen District.
So, little Ning Wei really grew up under the care of Fatty Fan.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been the case that when Bian Hongqi kidnapped Xiao Ningwei in Sijiu City, Fatty Fan wouldn't have followed Xiao Ningwei regardless of his own life or death.
Sure enough, after hearing what Fatty Fan said, little Ning Wei rushed in excitedly.
I haven't seen his fat brother for almost a month. To be honest, how could I not miss him?
"Fat brother! I moved here with my brother too!"
Little Ningwei rushed towards the fat man, but he was shorter and accidentally bumped into the fat man's leg.
This collision made the fat man, who had just excitedly shouted that he had won, take a deep breath.
"Hiss! You kid!!"
Fatty Fan couldn't really blame Xiao Ningwei. He just hugged his legs helplessly and pointed at Xiao Ningwei with both anger and laughter.
Little Ningwei was so shocked by the fat man's move that he stood there in shock, looking Fatty Fan up and down carefully.
Then he turned around and looked at his elder brother with a helpless look.
"Brother, what happened to Fatty? Why did he get so many injuries? Who beat him up? Let's go avenge Fatty!!"
Little Ningwei treats the fat man like his own brother.
You should know that it was Fatty Fan who stayed with him that night when he was tied up in the stone factory by Bian Hongqi and others.
