However, Xia Wan gently shook her head at her father's words: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe he didn't spend his days in the deep mountains. Perhaps he just hides his whereabouts very well. Maybe he often sneaks down the mountain to go out."
Xia Jianguo turned his head with a look of surprise, his gaze fixed on her, and asked in confusion, "Hmm? Xiao Wan, what new discovery have you made today? Tell us about it."
However, Xia Wan did not rush to explain to him. She simply raised her chin slightly, gestured towards the two people lying on the ground, and said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, brother. Get some water first and pour it on them to wake them up. Once they are sober, everything will be clear."
Just now, Xia Wan carefully explored the cave, examining every corner thoroughly.
After some observation, he found that the cave contained only some traces of a simple life that had once existed.
If someone had truly lived here for many years, the cave would not be as empty as it is now, with nothing but bedding and a few clothes.
After all, it's impossible for Wu Sangui to painstakingly deliver meals from the foot of the mountain to us every day, right? Even if it were feasible in the short term, it would be too illogical to do it for several years in a row!
Hearing this, Xia Tao frowned, looking at his sister with suspicion, and asked uncertainly, "Just splashing cold water on them like that... will that really wake them up? Didn't you drug them, sister?"
Faced with her brother's doubts, Xia Wan shrugged and replied helplessly, "Oh, brother, I can't guarantee it will work. But for now, it seems we can only give it a try. Otherwise, I think these two might stay asleep until tomorrow morning."
Since his sister had already said so, Xia Tao, though still somewhat skeptical, didn't ask any more questions. He turned and strode towards the kitchen, picked up a bucket, filled it with cold water, and hurriedly returned to his original spot. Without saying a word, he aimed the bucket at Wu Sangui's head and poured the entire bucket of water down without hesitation.
Don't underestimate this tranquilizer gun; its power is truly formidable! Surprisingly, even pouring a whole bucket of water over his head failed to wake him from his coma.
At this moment, only a few soft groans could be heard from Wu Sangui before he fainted again as if he had lost consciousness.
Seeing this, Xia Wan raised her eyebrows, a hint of impatience in her eyes.
Without hesitation, she raised her foot and stomped heavily on Wu Sangui's left wrist, deliberately grinding it down several times.
The excruciating pain instantly spread throughout his body, finally managing to wake Wu Sangui from his unconscious state.
"Waaah..." Accompanied by a miserable howl, Wu Sangui suddenly opened his eyes, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
Clearly, the sudden, intense pain had instantly brought him back to full consciousness.
Xia Wan quickly dodged to the side with a look of disgust. Only when Wu Sangui's gaze fell on her did she slowly say, "Oh, Uncle, you're finally awake?"
Wu Sangui's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart filled with terror, and he was completely stunned: "Xia...Xia Wan? You...how could you be here?"
However, before he could finish speaking, in his extreme panic, he caught a glimpse of Xia Jianguo and Xia Tao standing not far away.
Instantly, his face turned ashen, as if he had already guessed the cause and effect of the matter, and a guilty expression appeared on his face.
"Brother Jianguo... what... what exactly happened?"
Xia Jianguo sat quietly in the dilapidated wheelchair, his eyes as cold as frost in winter, staring at Wu Sangui in front of him.
"Aren't you disappointed that I'm still alive?"
At this moment, Wu Sangui's body began to tremble involuntarily, whether from the cold weather or from being terrified by the scene before him, it was unclear.
He stammered, "No... Brother Jianguo, what do you mean? I... really don't quite understand..."
However, Xia Jianguo had no patience to listen to Wu Sangui's meaningless explanations.
He sternly interrupted the other person without any mercy, not letting him continue his nonsense: "Alright! Stop pretending to be confused! Turn around and see who's behind you before you talk to me!"
Wu Sangui looked suspicious, but dared not disobey Xia Jianguo's orders.
So he slowly turned his head, and when his gaze fell on the person lying on the ground, all his feigned composure crumbled instantly.
He could no longer pretend and rushed toward the man in a frantic rush, pulling him tightly into his arms.
"Ah Yue... Ah Yue... My Ah Yue, what's wrong with you? Ah Yue, wake up!"
Wu Sangui shouted the name of the woman in his arms with all his might while gently shaking her body.
But no matter how he called out to her, A-Yue kept her eyes tightly closed, deep in a coma, showing no signs of waking up.
After countless unsuccessful attempts, Wu Sangui finally gave up on trying to wake A Yue.
At that moment, he suddenly raised his head and glared fiercely at Xia Jianguo with his already bloodshot eyes, his eyes burning with raging anger and endless resentment.
