Reborn in 1963: I Hunted and Stockpiled Meat During a Famine

"I didn't do anything wrong!"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Qingsong raised his spear and brought it down with the butt of the spear with a loud clang.

Seeing this, the others couldn't hold back any longer and started attacking the two men.

"What are you doing..."

A few people were fighting fiercely over here, while the light over there was increasing.

"Qiming, Uncle, what are you doing!"

Qin Kang quickly stepped forward and pulled Qin Qiming, Liu Qingsong and the others away: "Brother Meng is here, stop hitting him, he's a prisoner."

"What's going on? Why are they starting to fight?"

Zhao Meng stepped forward, his face beaming with joy.

With the blue-faced demon captured, the underground cave opened, and the bandits eliminated, there were still supplies to be sorted out. The area was finally completely stable.

"Since you've already caught them, why bother making a move?"

"These two lads wanted to slip away, and I wanted to shoot them, but my uncle stopped me, so I had to tie them up even tighter."

Who knew these two kids would get restless? We all had to work together to hold them down.

Qin Qiming stood up, and the nameless anger in his heart subsided a little, but it still felt like a big stone was blocking his chest, making him feel uncomfortable.

"Uncle did the right thing; these two boys are still useful as long as they're alive."

Zhao Meng said to Qin Qiming, "Qiming, you've done a great job today. You deserve the most credit for catching the Blue-Faced Ghost. If it weren't for your idea, they would have gotten away. When we get back to the county, I'll definitely recommend you for a commendation!"

"Put aside the praise for now, Meng-ge, take a look here first."

Qin Qiming turned around and kicked the bandits whose cries of pain had subsided considerably.

"Alright, alright, I'm right here, so you better watch yourself, or the other comrades will be watching how I deal with you!"

Zhao Meng smiled and stopped Qin Qiming, but when the light from Qin Qiming's flashlight shone into the stone house, Zhao Meng's smile froze.

He slowly bent down, touched the woman's neck with his fingers, then suddenly stood up straight, his lips twitching as he glared at the fallen bandit and pulled out his gun.

"You bastards, I'll kill you all!"

"Brother Meng! Please don't act rashly!" Qin Qiming stepped forward and tightly gripped Zhao Meng's hand holding the gun, pressing it down forcefully. "We have policies in place. Even if prisoners are to be executed, they must be given a public trial. You need to calm down!"

"Brother Meng, your future is bright, you can't do something so foolish!" Qin Kang quickly stepped forward to stop him, afraid that Zhao Meng would really fire the gun.

In our remote and impoverished area, it's not a big deal that firing a gun is against the rules. These bandits are no good to begin with; they've caused a lot of harm.

But you're different. You're the leader. If that shot is fired, it will be a huge problem!

With so many eyes watching, how could this news be kept secret?

A leader should act like a leader, be able to control their emotions, and abide by the rules.

Otherwise, let alone not going far in the future, they might cause a huge mess right now!

"Brother Meng, look, we've wiped out all these bandits. These two are almost dead from being beaten, there's really no need to execute them. They'll get their comeuppance for the beastly things they did!"

Qin Qiming and Qin Kang worked together to firmly hold down Zhao Meng, who was burning with rage. After much persuasion, Zhao Meng finally managed to suppress the raging fire in his chest.

"That's enough, that's enough, stop pressuring me. They're all gone, let them rest in peace."

Zhao Meng, who had been all smiles, now had a gloomy expression on his face, and there was no trace of a smile left.

"Quickly find some objects to cover it up, and then go to the village to find some women to handle the situation properly."

These wicked bandits have committed another heinous act; they will surely receive their due punishment sooner or later…

"Brother Meng, put this on."

Qin Qiming took off his gas mask and handed it to Zhao Meng.

"What is this thing?"

"To prevent us from pursuing them, the bandits blocked the front gate and then set up a gate in the middle to buy time. There was a stone cave near the middle gate, where many boxes were hidden."

Qin Qiming pointed to the gas mask in his hand and said.

"Those boxes seem to contain poison gas bombs. Luckily, we managed to corner these bastards here. If they had held us back, and they had actually used those things, who knows how many innocent civilians would have died at their hands!"

Zhao Meng was glad he made the choice, as it avoided subsequent trouble.

Qin Qiming recorded all the items, and Zhao Meng only needed to do a simple count after taking over.

"We'll have the soldiers take all the bandits to the county town first, and then the remaining troops and villagers will move the goods."

Zhao Meng was familiar with the reward system, and the villagers who ambushed the bandits all received some rewards.

After finishing, they found family members from nearby villages to continue moving the items.

They didn't collect any money; instead, they distributed the grain stored in the tunnels directly, settling accounts daily.

This news thrilled the villagers in the surrounding mountainous areas.

The news spread quickly because more and more goods were being transported down the mountain, and people at the foot of the mountain all knew that there was a Japanese warehouse on the mountain, full of good stuff.

Many people heard the news and went up the mountain hoping to make a quick buck.

However, the mountain had been sealed off by troops armed with guns, who first sternly advised them to turn back, and said they would be arrested if they insisted on breaking in.

Moreover, there are still some unremoved poison gas bombs inside. If this group accidentally triggers the poison gas bombs while going up the mountain, it will cause a lot of trouble.

They plan to wait until everything in the mountains has been moved and everyone has left before considering taking the poison gas bombs with them and destroying them.

Qin Qiming helped transport supplies on the mountain for two days before the village chief sent him back to the village to rest and wait for notification to go to the county town to watch the bandits' public trial.

As the representative of the mixed-surname village, he will go with several other people.

His commendation will also be announced at that time.

The matter of the Green-Faced Demon is over.

The shadow that had been hanging over everyone's hearts was finally beginning to dissipate.

With the Green-Faced Demon gang defeated, the villagers no longer need to live in fear.

The station's courtyard is located halfway up the mountain.

"Sis, is our chicken ready to eat? My stomach is growling with hunger."

Chen Xu rubbed his empty stomach, feeling so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, and stared longingly at the pot in the kitchen.

There was firewood piled up under the pot, and small flames were burning slowly.

"Wait a little longer. Your brother Qiming sent someone down the mountain yesterday to say that he'll be back today, so we can eat together."

"I am back."

At this moment, Qin Qiming's steady and powerful male voice rang out in the courtyard, carrying a particularly reassuring feeling.

"Oh my gosh, Qiming is finally back! There's hope for our chicken!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu immediately ran into the house to get a bowl and some rice.

In his eyes, nothing was more important than eating chicken at this moment!

Qin Qiming's eyes narrowed. "I missed you so much."
