Nanling County is a county located in the mountains, but recently, people have been reporting cases to the county government, saying that young women are constantly missing in the local area. The new magistrate named Li Shuwen. After receiving the report, Li Shuwen suspected that the missing young women were kidnapped by human traffickers. However, later, he thought his suspicion was wrong because the master told him that there had been no human traffickers in the area for more than 10 years.
One morning, Li Shuwen dressed up as a mountain citizen, left the county government, and then came to the mountain more than 30 miles away from the county town. After he arrived on the mountain, he wandered around the mountain. At noon, Li Shuwen found a flat stone and sat on it. Next, he took out the dry food and started eating. After eating dry food and resting for half a stick of incense, he stood up and continued to turn on the mountain.
In the afternoon, Li Shuwen suddenly heard the woman's cry for help. He quickly ran to the place where the woman's cry for help came, and found a group of male savages catching a young woman, who looked like she was about eighteen or nineteen years old. Li Shuwen hurriedly hid in the grass and observed quietly. Not long after, the young woman was tied up by male savages. Next, the male savage carried the young woman away. Li Shuwen quickly came out of the grass and then quietly followed the male wild people. An hour later, Li Shuwen discovered that the male wild people entered a forest. After another stick of incense, the male savage entered a village. It looked very big, and it was probably a savage tribe.
Li Shuwen hid behind a big tree and observed it for a while before leaving. After he returned to the county government office, he quickly ate and went to bed. The next morning, he took the yamen runners to sneak into the forest and hid not far from the big village. About an hour later, a male savage walked towards the place where they were hiding. When the male savage walked closer, several yamen runners caught him. Next, Li Shuwen and the yamen runners evacuated from the forest.
After Li Shuwen brought the runners back to the county government office, he soon began to interrogate the male savage. He asked the male savage why the male savage wanted to catch young women? The male savage told Li Shuwen that there were 6 savage tribes in the forest, and the 6 savage tribes were constantly attacking each other. The purpose of the 6 savage tribes attacking each other was to steal young women, because there were few women in the 6 savage tribes. Later, male savages from the six savage tribes began to go out of the forest and then searched for young women on the mountain. Once they found the young woman, they captured the young woman into the savage tribe.
After learning about the purpose of the male savage catching a young woman, Li Shuwen and his master discussed countermeasures. The master told Li Shuwen that all the savages in the six savage tribes should be driven out of the forest and allowed them to live at the foot of the mountain. In this way, it can manage wild people well. After listening to the master's words, Li Shuwen said, "The county yamen has only dozens of yamen runners, and they are weak. With dozens of yamen runners alone, they cannot drive all the savages from the 6 savage tribes to the foot of the mountain."
savage master said, "I know an old doctor who can prepare a kind of savage drug. If a person smells the savage drug, he will be in a coma for a day and a night. I can ask him to prepare a lot of savage drugs, and then the adults bring dozens of yamen runners to the savage tribe with their savage drugs, and also recruit men from the county to let the men follow the yamen. Behind the soldiers, once the wild people fell into a coma, the men carried the wild people to the bottom of the mountain. As long as the adults ordered the recruitment of men from the county, I would probably be able to recruit tens of thousands of men. "Li Shuwen said: "This method is good, so hurry up and ask the old doctor to prepare the medicine."
A month later, Li Shuwen brought dozens of yamen runners up the mountain, and each of them had a cloth bag, which contained the medicine. He and dozens of yamen runners took the medicine first before going up the mountain. More than 50 feet away from them, the men were recruited. After Li Shuwen and the yamen runners quietly came outside the big village, they hid in the grass for a little time to rest, and then entered the big village. They squirted pills when they saw the savage. After the savage smelled the pills, they fell into a coma.After all the wild people in the big village were unconscious, the men recruited entered the big village, then lifted the savages who fell to the ground and walked out of the forest.
Results, three months later, all the wild people from the six tribes were concentrated at the foot of the mountain. Li Shuwen said to the wild people: "In the future, you will build thatched houses at the foot of the mountain. The county government will provide you with free crop seeds, vegetable seeds and farm tools. You should cultivate well. As long as you farm well, you will be self-sufficient." As for the money for the county government to purchase crop seeds, vegetable seeds and farm tools, Li Shuwen mobilized rich gentry households in the county to donate.
After the wild people lived and worked in peace at the foot of the mountain, there was no incident in the local area where young women disappeared.
