Jedi rescues hostages trapped in a cave, and has lost his mind...
Since Xiao Liang has already recognized Wen Zichuan, protecting him is more important than his own safety.
Without even thinking, he wrapped his rough hands, which had been rough from years of work, around the broken piece of porcelain and pulled a person out from the dark shadows.
"Xu Jiaxuan!"
The young man was pulled off balance by the huge force and almost fell into Wen Zichuan's arms.
When Wen Zichuan touched his back, he immediately felt something strange. He didn't know if it was because the cave was too humid or he was sweating all over, but his thin clothes were almost soaked. What was even more surprising was that after just a few days of not seeing him, he had become almost as thin as a skeleton, and he looked completely weightless.
Xu Jiaxuan didn't see clearly who was coming, but he would definitely not misunderstand the teacher's voice.
Just like walking in the dark for a long time and finally seeing the daylight, a sob escaped from his throat, then he hugged Wen Zichuan's knees and burst into tears.
"Why are you here...? Where's my mother?" Wen Zichuan helped him up.
"Aunt Lin she...Aunt Lin she..." Xu Jiaxuan sobbed and couldn't speak a complete sentence.
He led Wen Zichuan and Xiao Liang to the other side of the cave. At the end of the cave, there was an old-fashioned kerosene lamp hanging on the rock wall.
The light from the kerosene lamp was dim, illuminating only a small area. Lin Hanzhen lay beneath the lamp, eyes tightly closed, unconscious.
Wen Zichuan's tense heartstrings suddenly broke. He ran over quickly, holding up Lin Hanzhen and calling her anxiously.
The mother and son are connected by heart. When the phone call couldn't get through, he had already assumed the worst possible outcome, because he never dared to think too well of things, as that would only bring endless disappointment and even despair.
Lin Hanzhen's condition was not good. Xiao Liang touched her wrist, remained silent for a few seconds, and then shook his head.
"No! No! Aunt Lin talked to me this morning..." Xu Jiaxuan was overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of fear. He volunteered to protect Lin Hanzhen, but he failed.
"What did she say...?" Wen Zichuan's eyes were lifeless and he asked mechanically.
"She said that people can survive for more than 20 days just by drinking water, so I went to get her some water..." Xu Jiaxuan didn't have the strength to stand and speak. He took a few steps back and fell to the ground again.
Wen Zichuan looked at him and found a broken hemp rope where he fell. Not far from the hemp rope, there were broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground.
Lin Hanzhen's health was not good and she had little mobility, while Xu Jiaxuan was able to move, so he was tied up with a hemp rope. However, he wanted to use broken porcelain pieces to cut the rope to save himself, which resulted in blood marks on his wrists.
The bloody smell that Wen Zichuan smelled when he entered the cave came from his wrist.
Perhaps Xiao Liang was relatively slow, or perhaps he was used to seeing life and death, but he was surprisingly calm and gestured to Wen Zichuan to help Lin Hanzhen onto his back.
Since he was carrying the person on his back, he could no longer gesture, so he could only move his lips and squeeze out the word "save" that he was most familiar with. Wen Zichuan could see that it was the word "save".
Xiao Liang meant that his mother could still be saved?!
Since there is hope for rescue, we cannot delay any longer. Even though finding them in the cave is beyond our comprehension, as long as they can be rescued, why should we be afraid of not being able to figure out the whole story?
Time passed minute by minute, and in the ranger's cabin, Lao Mo could no longer sit still.
"My temple is small and cannot accommodate several large Buddhas. Once you have rested, please leave quickly." He put his hands on his knees, half lowered his head, and ordered them to leave.
"If you want to come, let's come together. If you want to leave, let's leave together. My nephew and the others haven't come back yet." Zhou Han's psychological quality is far better than others. No matter how tense the moment, he can play this drama to the end.
"Yeah, we should wait for them to come back." Lao Mo pulled out something the size of a fist from his trouser pocket. "Otherwise, if one or two of them slip through the net, it will cause trouble for me."
In fact, Zhou Han had already noticed that his trouser pockets were bulging, but Lao Mo was just a forest ranger. If he had cigarettes and lighters hidden in his pockets, it would not be right, but it would not be too strange.
It was not until he saw the true appearance of that thing that he realized that they had already fallen into a trap set by someone else.
"Bomb!" Zhou Han looked around and said calmly, "If you press it, this room and even this hilltop will be reduced to ashes. Can you tell me what you want?"
"Is there even a need to ask?! Of course... I want your lives!" Lao Mo's eyes flashed with ferocity, and the flying saliva almost splashed on the other person's face.
"We don't know each other. Are you going to kill us the first time we meet? Or is someone else trying to buy our lives?" Zhou Han couldn't fully grasp his intentions, but he knew he was taking such a risk, so there must be a flaw. "You have to think carefully. We are in the same room. This bomb can destroy at least a 50-meter radius. You can't escape."
The mole on Lao Mo's face twitched slightly, and the slight change in expression showed that he hesitated.
Based on this, Zhou Han judged that he was not a vicious and cruel madman. If criminals take risks not for revenge, they are most likely tempted by huge power and money.
They were strangers to Lao Mo, so it was impossible for him to be seeking revenge. He was just a forest ranger, so he had no power at all. The most likely possibility was that he was after money.
On their way back, they couldn't contact Lin Hanzhen and Xu Jiaxuan. The woman and child posed the least threat, so they were most likely being held hostage by him. So was Lao Mo's target a certain person? Or all of them?
So who is the "buyer" behind him, and whose lives does the "buyer" want to buy?
"Do you think you can threaten me with just a few words?" Lao Mo gritted his teeth and raised his gun. "I have no way out. I will die if I let you go! I will die if I don't let you go! Let's die together!"
Before he finished speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the house.
It is difficult for people without sufficient experience to judge what is running from the chaotic rustling sounds.
At the moment when Lao Mo hesitated, Liu Yufu and Zhou Han cooperated extremely tacitly - he unfastened the buckle on the side of the backpack, and Zhou Han instantly pulled out the short shovel and threw it at Lao Mo's arm!
This move was a risky one, and Officer Zhou used all his strength with his strong psychological quality!
The metal hit the human bones with a crisp and muffled sound. Lao Mo was so shocked that he had no time to dodge. His wrist lost strength, and the moment the bullet was about to fall, Liu Yufu was quick-eyed and quick-handed and caught it back!
Zhou Han was confident that Lao Mo had at least suffered a broken arm and would be unable to move for a while.
Liu Yufu had just tied up Lao Mo with a safety rope when he saw Wen Zichuan, holding Xu Jiaxuan, and Xiao Liang, carrying Lin Hanzhen on their backs, pushing the door open one after another.
When Zhou Han saw Lin Hanzhen, his scalp exploded instantly.
When a person is about to die, he will be like her, with an indescribable black aura on his face.
"There is a small bed in the inner room. Lay the patient flat on the bed first. Be careful." He reminded, but he was not a doctor and did not dare to make a rash judgment on a person's life or death.
Xu Jiaxuan felt that he needed to tell everything that had happened in the past few days, but he was too weak and could only lean against the edge of the bed and sit on the ground.
He opened his mouth, but his throat was so hoarse that no sound came out. He saw tea in the porcelain bowl beside him, and just as he reached out to pick it up to drink, the wild dog that followed him suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
The wild dog was howling, so Liu Yufu quickly took away the bowl and replaced it with bottled water for him.
Zhou Han immediately told them that no one was allowed to touch the tea brewed by Lao Mo or talk to Lao Mo.
Everything that happened here was beyond his expectations. He walked out and called Han Zhao, asking the Huaili police to quickly send someone to intervene in the case, and then asked Liu Yufeng to arrange reliable personnel to rescue Lin Hanzhen quickly.
When he returned to the house, Wen Zichuan was still guarding Lin Hanzhen silently, and Xiao Liang was also quiet, his eyes fixed on the mother and son.
After Xu Jiaxuan ate something and drank some water and regained some strength, he ignored Officer Zhou's prohibition and stubbornly approached the tied-up Lao Mo and took off his shoes.
"He's not a ranger at all! Not even an old mole!"
The boy's roar surprised everyone!
They did feel something was wrong before, but because Lao Mo's facial features were too distinct, almost no one doubted his true identity.
Seeing that everything was exposed, Lao Mo stretched out his legs and stopped hiding and struggling.
Everyone saw that his feet were white in color, and most importantly, there were no thick calluses on the soles of his feet.
It is impossible for a forest ranger who walks and patrols in the mountains all day to have a pair of white feet without calluses. The first person to see through his identity scam was Xu Jiaxuan, who arrived here first.
"He treated me like a child and lied to me, saying Auntie Lin fainted because of low blood sugar and that she would be fine after drinking some sugar water... I asked him to take us back, but he kept making excuses to delay... I didn't dare to leave Auntie Lin behind..."
Xu Jiaxuan half-knelt in front of Wen Zichuan, his eyes red.
Teacher Wen had high hopes for him and entrusted his mother to his care, but Lao Mo did not allow him to take Lin Hanzhen back to the first platform, and he did not dare to leave Lin Hanzhen alone.
"Xiao Liang, pour a bowl of water on him and splash it on his face." Wen Zichuan said in a stern tone.
Xiao Liang naturally followed his orders.
He casually poured a bowl of tea onto Lao Mo's distorted face, causing him to squeeze out two strange owl-like laughs in extreme anger and despair.
"Haha, hahaha..." Old Mole laughed, and the mole the size of a fingernail on his cheekbone gradually distorted its shape.
Xu Jiaxuan was furious. He grabbed the two hairs and pulled hard, tearing off a large black stain.
Among the crowd, Liu Yufu was the most shocked.
Although he was not as familiar with Longji Mountain as Liu Yufeng, it was not the first time he had seen Lao Mo.
Looking back, they had met each other during the search and rescue operation for the truck that fell off a cliff, and before that, he had occasionally followed his brother and mushroom farmers into the mountains and had dealt with Lao Mo several times.
But he didn't recognize him at all today. Perhaps there is a possibility that what they saw from beginning to end was this "fake" in front of them.
"You are an actor, right?" Wen Zichuan stared at the unidentified middle-aged man.
Lao Mo was no longer planning to give any answer. Instead, Zhou Han, who was standing next to him, kept looking at the time and asked him why he felt that way.
Wen Zichuan said that whether it is an actor or a voice actor, the core lies in "performance". Every mature actor's performance will form his own style, or paradigm.
Styles and paradigms vary from person to person, but they are not completely without commonalities. For example, if someone comes from an academic school, then his style will definitely be influenced by his teacher.
Previously, Wei Jing hired famous teachers from various academic institutions to guide Wei Xiaoming, and Wen Zichuan "accompanied him to study" for a while. The scattered experiences accumulated in daily life were incorporated into a complete system, which gave him the courage to face the camera.
So when he saw Lao Mo, he realized that although his actions and speech were very similar to those of a forest ranger, there was always a dimension of difference between his interpretation and reality. It was only because he was worried about Lin Hanzhen and Xu Jiaxuan that he failed to notice it earlier.
Seeing Lin Hanzhen's face becoming increasingly pale, Wen Zichuan's eyes were red. "Instead of being an actor, you pretend to be a forest ranger and ambush us here! I want to know, how much are our lives worth?!"
"He who dares to threaten us with a bomb will not have a good end," Zhou Han said, opening the door. "Let's go and take your mother to the hospital first. As for the rest, the police will give you an explanation."
The deputy arranged by Liu Yufeng arrived on a tricycle. The mountain road was narrow, so the fastest way to return was to take the tricycle back to the first platform and then drive straight to the hospital.
Although Liu Yufeng suggested on the phone that if it was a trauma or hypoglycemia, one could first go to Mutao Town for simple treatment.
But Wen Zichuan and Zhou Han both understood that Lin Hanzhen's situation would not be that simple, so they filled up the gas and headed straight for Dengyuan City First People's Hospital.
