Chapter 546: Rescue the Chinese People
Chapter 546: Rescue the Chinese People
Over time, she became malnourished, which led to her becoming thinner and thinner. She didn't eat enough and her steps were unsteady every day. Her sister-in-law thought she was lazy and didn't work hard, so she became more and more mean to her.
What's more, because he accidentally fell while walking and spilled the prepared food on the ground, his sister-in-law was so angry that she hit him with a rolling pin. After hitting him, she was still not satisfied and kicked him out of the house.
The girl originally thought that she was finished. Being kicked out penniless, where would she go?
At the moment she fainted, she was ready to die. She didn't expect someone to save her and give her food. The girl was very grateful.
It was this unexpected encounter that allowed the man, who had been single for 27 years, to have a complete family.
Tiezhu couldn't help but feel sad whenever he thought of his wife at home. Although there was still money and food at home, he had been missing for three months. Would he think that he had abandoned her? Thinking of this, his heart ached constantly.
If he died, what would happen to his wife? She was such a coward.
Right now!
The sound of footsteps approaching from afar aroused everyone's vigilance. They sat up from the weeds, their faces full of vigilance. Could it be that their time was up?
However, surprisingly, the people who came were not from the islands. The light was dim and the people in the prison could not see their faces clearly. The reason why they knew at a glance that they were not the ones was because these four people were tall, in stark contrast to Baga's short stature.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to rescue everyone!" Cheng Guohua hurried forward to explain.
"You are Chinese?" Why did it seem so unreal? Was it a fleeting moment of enlightenment before death? Was he actually trapped in a dream?
Guandong couldn't believe the scene before his eyes was real. There were so many enemies in the cave, so if there was fighting, they couldn't have missed it. If there was no fighting, how did they get in? He was full of questions.
The four of them had no intention of explaining. Jing Nan stepped forward and pried the prison door open, then made way for them: "Let's go, I'll take you down the mountain."
Regardless of whether it was a trap or not, it was either life or death. Guandong was the first to walk out of the prison door. When he passed by Lu Beichen, the other party took out a bottle of golden wound medicine from his pocket and handed it to him.
"This is a golden wound medicine, you might need it!"
Guan Dong was stunned for a moment, and with cracked lips he managed to say thank you: "Thank you...thank you!"
"No need!" Lu Beichen said lightly.
Guandong looked at Lu Beichen deeply. He could vaguely see the man's outline from a distance. Even in such dim light, his handsome face could not be concealed.
Cheng Guohua and Li Guodong volunteered to escort them down the mountain safely.
When passing by the soldiers' residence, they looted more than 21 Chinese yuan. It seemed like a lot, but there were 570 innocent civilians there, and on average each person would only get a little over yuan, which was nothing compared to their bodies.
The money was what they deserved. None of the four had any intention of taking the money and they divided it among the 21 victims.
Guandong and others' hands were shaking when they took the money. They finally had an explanation when they returned.
"Thank you!" Guandong knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and kowtowed to the four people. Seeing this, the others also knelt down to express their gratitude to their benefactors.
This not only saved their lives, but also saved their 70-year-old mother, their crying babies, and their husbands who were waiting for them to return home.
"What are you doing? We are the people's soldiers. It is our responsibility to save you. Comrades, you have suffered. I will send you down the mountain first." Cheng Guohua hurried forward to support them.
There were a lot of people, so Li Guodong stepped forward to help.
"I don't understand any profound principles, but you saved our lives. You are our benefactors. I can finally go back to see my wife! Hehehe..."
"Wow, wow, wow..." Tiezhu started crying while laughing. He never thought that there would be a day when he would be alive to see his wife again. It was like a dream.
When others saw him crying, they also felt sad and cried one after another.
Cheng Guohua was thinking about how to comfort her.
But Lu Beichen didn't speak first, it was just...
"We have some canned food, food, and daily necessities here... If you need anything, you can take it with you."
Lu Beichen's voice reached their ears at the right moment.
While Cheng Guohua was still complaining in his heart about Lu Beichen's inability to comfort others, his face suddenly lit up.
I saw that the people who had been crying loudly just now stopped crying and ran hurriedly to pick out things they could use.
Even some of the clothes are very clean. They are now so thin that they are just skin and bones, and most of the clothes here can fit them.
Only when they saw the clothes did they realize that they now looked no different from beggars. If they went back like this, wouldn’t their families be scared to death?
Lu Beichen reminded them that there was water in the bathroom and they could go and wash up.
Half an hour later, they were dressed neatly and looked in good spirits, except for their pale and thin faces.
Guandong was even more grateful to Lu Beichen. When he changed his clothes, he used the golden wound medicine given by his brother. It felt very cool when he rubbed it on his skin. After a while, the pain was relieved a lot.
"Comrade, thank you for the medicine you gave me. It really works. I don't feel as much pain anymore." Guan Dong expressed his gratitude to Lu Beichen. He did not keep the remaining medicine and handed it back to Lu Beichen.
"This medicine is too precious. You need it more than I do!"
Lu Beichen didn't take it. He waved his hand. "You keep it. I have more here. After this lesson, I hope you will remember this: there is no such thing as a free lunch. No matter how good others say it is, why are they still so poor? Learn to think before you act in the future. Although the compensation this time is not much, it is enough for you to start a small business and live a down-to-earth life."
These words made everyone silent for a while, and they lowered their heads in shame. What the young man said was absolutely right, they were just confused by the smell of the pancake and did not consider the consequences at all, which almost cost them their lives.
"I'm sorry! I've caused you trouble!" Guandong bowed deeply to the four people.
When he stood up again, his eyes became firm: "My benefactor is right. From now on, I will take one step at a time and will not listen to slander again."
"Me too. I've failed this time! I accept the criticism from my comrades." Tiezhu expressed his attitude naively.
The childhood friends and fellow villagers who deceived them... Not only did they not get the promised money, they also couldn't escape the fate of being beaten. They knew too much, and the beasts would never let them live. In the end, they would hurt others and themselves.
This is better, at least I don’t have to think about revenge when I go out.
After seeing them off, there were only two people left in the cave.
"Are you planning to go down and take a look next?"
"We've been busy all day and all night. Let's eat something and rest for a while before we go downstairs after they arrive."
"Okay!" Jing Nan followed Lu Beichen's advice and nodded in agreement.
Several people didn't bring their backpacks with them, so if they wanted to eat, they had to find food locally.
The two began to look for food in the cave and finally found some military rations in a square iron box containing compressed biscuits and candies.
