Their eyes all asked one question, what had just happened here.
How did these snakes come and then disappear in an instant?
Watching them flee, Gu Dabao guessed in his heart, could they have understood what he said?
But how could that be possible.
The villagers, startled by the snakes, watched them run off assuming they had been scared away by the rake in Uncle Dog’s hand, collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, "That scared me to death."
Seven-Step Snakes, those were Seven-Step Snakes.
"This place is really a bit odd," Chief Tong examined the thatched cottage. Behind this cottage were all tombs, and the snakes inexplicably rushed in, then inexplicably left.
Or was it that something here initially attracted them and then they discovered something inside the cottage that frightened them off?
"Chief, I think this place is very spooky," one officer stepped forward, "shouldn’t we take them away? Have you not noticed? It’s eerie around here, very terrifying."
As soon as the officer finished speaking, a miserable bird cry sounded outside, though this type of bird was often seen around here; it just sounded more terrifying on a night .
To take the people away, Chief Tong found it difficult, "Including the one lying on the ground, that makes four people, and we’re only three, how are we going to take them away."
He was the chief, he had come on a motorcycle, while the other two officers had come on motorcycles too.
There was no helping it, that was all the station had, thankfully they still had a motorcycle, otherwise, they would have had to use bicycles for their patrols.
Xiangtang Town was one of the poorest towns in the Imperial Capital, and Shihezi Village was the poorest village in the Imperial Capital, so having this much was already not bad.
Although the woman claimed these men had robbed her, from the current situation, this woman also seemed quite suspicious, and of course, if they were taking people away, she should be taken too.
Xiaofeng could probably see Chief Tong’s difficulty, "Comrade, I can drive you all back."
Taking her car was even more out of the question, what if she was the criminal? That would be detrimental.
Thinking this, Chief Tong eased his brow, "Let’s do this, everyone stay here. Wufei, bring the handcuffs, handcuff those two first, to prevent them from escaping."
The one with the bad waist, letting him run probably wouldn’t get far, naturally, it was wise to handcuff those who could run and jump.
Xiaofeng twitched her lips at this cunning move by Chief Tong.
Sure enough, he then said, "Miss, please cooperate, sorry about this. If it turns out you really are a victim, I will certainly release you."
"Chief, maybe we shouldn’t do this to her, she’s a woman with a child, where could she run off to?" Uncle Dog couldn’t bear to watch.
"She has a car, what if she drives off? Are you going to catch up or am I?" Chief Tong said, signaling to an officer nearby.
The officer approached, about to handcuff Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng looked at the shining handcuffs and suddenly laughed.
This was the latest model. For a local chief with such limited resources to have managed to acquire the newest model seemed somewhat abnormal.
"If I tell you to do it, just do it, why dawdle?" Chief Tong, seeing the officer’s slow movement, was somewhat dissatisfied.
The officer looked up, "Chief, I don’t know how to use this thing."
It seemed different from the previous ones, and he couldn’t figure out how to open it.
"Useless thing, you’ve used it dozens of times and still don’t know how, what are you good for, keep an eye on it." Chief Tong stepped forward, took the tool from the officer, and slipped it onto Xiaofeng’s wrist.
