What if I rescued him myself? Xu Jianguo thought to himself.
With a physical fitness that is five times better than that of an ordinary person, coupled with master-level fighting skills, he should have no problem dealing with two unarmed people. However, judging from the current situation, the other party must be armed, and this weapon is most likely a gun, which makes Xu Jianguo feel uneasy.
"What should I do?"
[Ding, trigger the system to select a task.]
[Option 1: Rescue the hostages and reward the host with firearms proficiency]
[Option 2: Rescue the hostages and capture the spy alive, rewarding the host with Mechanical Repair Mastery]
[Option 3: Return to the village to report and wait for support, rewarding the host with mastery of carpentry skills]
[Option 4: Return along the original route and pretend nothing happened. The host will be rewarded with the title of Coward, plus 250 turtle eggs.]
Just when Xu Jianguo was struggling, the familiar system prompt sound rang.
After hearing the options of the task, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"What the hell are 250 turtle eggs?"
"System, get out here! I hate the Japs the most in my life, who are you trying to humiliate?"
[Ding, don't listen to the turtle's chanting, please make a choice as soon as possible! ]
"I..." Xu Jianguo was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"You forced me to do this. Choose two."
[Ding, selection completed, bonus skills issued, do you want to learn now?]
"No, no, no, not studying now!"
[Ding, the bonus skill has been stored, the host can learn it at any time. ]
"Huh!" Xu Jianguo broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the thrill of learning fighting skills.
Xu Jianguo got up and walked from the bushes to the edge of the pool, listening carefully to the sounds in the cracks of the rocks.
Apart from the sound of the waterfall, there was no other sound. It seemed that the two people must have gone deep into the crevice.
Xu Jianguo observed carefully and found that the edge of the pool was at least 5 meters away from the crevice. Ordinary people could not pass through it at all. So how did they get in?
Suddenly, Xu Jianguo noticed several strange places on the stone wall, so he walked closer to observe and found that there were two rows of horseshoe-shaped shallow pits with obvious traces of artificial excavation on the stone wall. The depth was about 10 cm, one row above and one row below. The two rows of horseshoe pits were about 1.5 meters apart from each other, and 40 cm apart from each other, extending to the cracks in the stone.
"They are so smart. If I don't look carefully, I really wouldn't have noticed it. But how did these two guys get those three kids in there?" Xu Jianguo was puzzled.
If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. Xu Jianguo used his hands and feet and quickly climbed to the crevice. He listened to the movement inside and found nothing unusual, so he quietly looked inside.
Inside the crevice, the three children of Widow Wang were tied together back to back, with a piece of rag stuffed in each of their mouths.
Xu Jianguo knew these three people, two boys and one girl. The eldest was Li Guoguang, 15 years old, the second was Li Guoqiang, 13 years old, and the third was Li Guohui, 10 years old.
The third child, Li Guohui, is the youngest. The crying sound that Xu Jianguo heard before should have come from her. At this time, there were still traces of tears on the little girl's face.
Xu Jianguo did not hesitate. He took out a flashlight from the space and gently exerted force with his legs to enter the crevice.
Because the sound of the waterfall covered their eyes and it was pitch black inside the cave, the three people did not notice Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo turned on the flashlight, and the sudden light scared the three of them. The little girl Li Guohui made a whimpering sound and opened her eyes wide with fear.
He walked quickly to the three people and said, "Don't be afraid, it's me!" Then he shone the flashlight on his face.
But this photo didn't matter. The little girl became even more frightened. Her body kept shaking and she kept backing away.
Xu Jianguo was very upset. He pointed the flashlight at the ground but did not shine the light deep into the cave. He was afraid that the sudden flashlight light would wake up the two people in the cave.
When the three of them used the peripheral light from the flashlight to see that the person in front of them was Xu Jianguo, they were all very excited.
Xu Jianguo didn't remove the cloth from their mouths. Instead, he asked, "Don't worry. Let me ask you, are there only two people here besides you?"
Boss Li Guoguang nodded vigorously.
"Do they have guns?" Xu Jianguo asked again.
Li Guoguang continued to nod.
"I see. You three wait here for me. I'll go in and take a look. I'll come back and take you away."
The expressions on the three people's faces were even more surprised, and they nodded vigorously.
Xu Jianguo stood up, shone the flashlight on the ground and walked forward. After taking two steps, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped again.
He took out three pieces of fruit candy from the space, walked back, peeled off the candy wrappers and fed them into the mouths of three people, then stuffed the rag back into their mouths.
"I'm afraid you three are hungry. I only have candy on me, so just make do with it for now. Remember, no matter what sound you hear later, don't be afraid. Wait for me to come back." Xu Jianguo whispered.
The three nodded.
Xu Jianguo stood up and walked back into the depths of the cave.
After going around a big rock, Xu Jianguo turned off the flashlight and put it back into the storage space.
As the sound of the waterfall behind him became smaller and smaller, Xu Jianguo discovered a faint light appeared in front of him. From the dancing shadows on the stone wall, he could tell that this should be the light from the flame.
Xu Jianguo observed the ground, walked over gently, and picked up a few small stones on the ground.
This series of actions originated from Xu Jianguo's previous life. At that time, after his parents died and were rehabilitated, he left the labor camp with 15 yuan in his pocket collected by other prisoners.
