The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

She stared at the quiet river ahead, took a deep breath, and calmly watched the two burly men approaching with sacks in their hands and fierce looks on their faces.

At the critical moment, she decisively abandoned the car and ran towards the river, challenging him as she ran: "Just you? You think you can stop me?"

The words were full of contempt and disdain for the opponent.

On hot summer days, swimming was a skill she was good at, and when the land roads were blocked, the river became her only escape route.

"Hurry! Don't let her run away!" Old Mrs. Xie screamed anxiously, her voice sharp and piercing, piercing the night sky.

Just as Xu Xiufang was about to jump into the river and use the water as wings, a familiar and warm voice broke the tense atmosphere.

Everyone turned around and saw Wang Yimin riding an old bicycle, coming slowly. He kept complaining about the obstacles on the road: "Who is so wicked as to throw such a big rock here?"

His leisurely appearance was out of tune with the tense atmosphere at the time.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Xu Xiufang's eyes, as if she saw the light in a desperate situation.

She couldn't help but sigh at the negligence of Zhou Xiaoyun and Old Lady Xie. They forgot that such a remote path was a passage connecting to the outside world after all, and there would always be people passing by.

"Mr. Wang, are you going to town?" Xu Xiufang waved to Wang Yimin eagerly, but did not dare to approach rashly.

If those desperate criminals bribed by Zhou Xiaoyun attacked the innocent Wang Yimin, not only Wang Yimin but also herself would be in a more dangerous situation.

Stay by the river, at least the river water can serve as the last refuge.

However, as fate would have it, Wang Yimin had just turned his head and was about to respond to Xu Xiufang's call when a sudden stone hit him on the back of the head with pinpoint accuracy.

In an instant, Wang Yimin's figure shook, and then he fell heavily to the ground and fell into a coma.

In the dim twilight of that remote mountain area, Xu Xiufang felt a sudden chill, as if even the air was filled with an ominous aura.

She stared at the figures whose greedy eyes were fixed on her, and an indescribable fear surged in her heart.

In this mountainous area with poor information and backwardness, trafficking a human being can easily bring in thousands of yuan, which is faster and more profitable than any legitimate business.

Xu Xiufang's heart was filled with disbelief and anger. It turned out that the evil of human nature would not change with the changing times. It was always there, lurking in every possible corner.

The place where she stood was surrounded by lush forests and overgrown weeds. It was far away from the hustle and bustle of the world and beyond the reach of electronic surveillance cameras.

In such an environment, if someone was forcibly abducted, it would be difficult for even the news to get out, let alone attract the attention of the outside world.

Faced with the impending disaster, the sturdy woman seemed extremely anxious. She kept urging her two accomplices beside her to speed up.

One of the men was holding a rough sack and walking towards the terrified Xu Xiufang with disorganized footsteps.

However, at this critical moment, Xu Xiufang's will to survive was instantly aroused. She jumped suddenly, and with a "splash", she plunged into the cold river water, splashing water.

Seeing this, the woman was so angry that she almost lost control: "Useless! Do I raise you just for viewing? I can make a fat duck fly high when it is in my mouth. Don't expect me to pay you a penny this month!"

Her face turned red with anger, her eyes revealed deep regret, and blood was flowing in her heart.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyun and Old Lady Xie secretly exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with imperceptible cunning and relief.

For them, the most ideal outcome is undoubtedly for the traffickers to suffer the consequences of their own actions. At least they don't have to worry about the risk of being hunted down afterwards.

On the other side, Wang Yimin, who was knocked unconscious, finally struggled to open his eyes. He pressed the swollen lump on the back of his head painfully. Every movement was a tearing pain. He couldn't help cursing involuntarily, his voice filled with confusion and unwillingness.

"Which damn woman dared to touch me!" There was both confusion and anger in his eyes.

Seeing that the time was right, Zhou Xiaoyun immediately winked at the three people who were fleeing in panic, signaling them to disappear quickly.

Upon hearing the news, the three men ran away like frightened birds, fearing that any hesitation would lead to something unexpected.

Their escape was exactly what Zhou Xiaoyun wanted. She pretended to be concerned, walked gently towards Wang Yimin who was sitting on the ground, and reached out her hand to help him up.

"Those guys just now didn't look like good people. Luckily we just came back from the city, otherwise it would have been dangerous." Her voice was gentle.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yimin reluctantly turned his head and looked in the direction Zhou Xiaoyun was pointing. Although he was filled with anger, he felt more helpless.

"We can't just let them go like this. We must arrest them and send them to the police station!" He gritted his teeth and spoke in a firm tone.

Zhou Xiaoyun tried to dissuade them: "They have already run far away, and your head is still injured. They are outnumbered. If you fail to catch them and get bitten back, you will be in big trouble."

Old Mrs. Xie also chimed in at the right time, trying to calm Wang Yimin's emotions and reminding him that he had more important things to do, such as going into the city to pick up his wife.

When he thought about having to rush to pick up his wife and Zhou Xiaoyun was there to help, Wang Yimin knew that it was impossible to continue the pursuit.

He looked at the bicycle lying on the ground, frowned, and asked in confusion, "Where is my sister-in-law?"

Without waiting for Zhou Xiaoyun to answer, he shook off her hand, staggered to the river, and looked around.

The scene of Xu Xiufang calling for help just now suddenly flashed through my mind, and an ominous premonition arose.

"Could it be..." An unprecedented panic surged in his heart.

"Wait here for me. I'm going to go find my brother. My sister-in-law might be in danger."

As soon as Zhou Xiaoyun finished speaking, details that he had not noticed before vaguely flashed in Wang Yimin's memory.

Zhou Xiaoyun and Old Lady Xie seemed to have appeared at the scene suddenly, and behind that inconspicuous stone, there seemed to be some secret that he had not noticed.

In this moment of trance, he seemed to see the blurry figure of Xu Xiufang swaying on the river bank. The scene was fleeting, but it shocked him greatly.

Wang Yimin stared at the calm surface of the river, feeling unprecedented anxiety and fear in his heart.

"Don't move here, I'll find someone right away."

After leaving these words, he turned around and ran towards the project department.

Find help as soon as possible and rescue Xu Xiufang who may be on the verge of life and death.

Old Mrs. Xie and Zhou Xiaoyun's eyes met, as if they were silently conspiring, and then the two of them moved swiftly and disappeared at the end of the winding path.
