Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Pursuit
Xia Junshan said: "Let's go ask first."
When Aunt Liu heard the word Feng's family, long-lost memories came to her mind.
When she was young, her family sold her to a boy for half a bag of rice, and she began a life of wandering. When she was sixteen, she met a man who bought her home. The man liked her very much and said he wanted to marry her.
Others say she is lucky to have met such a lovesick guy.
Of course, in the end she did not become his wife, but his aunt, but it made no difference, since she had no say in these matters anyway, just like her life, which had always been controlled by others.
Memories of the first half of her life suddenly flooded back to her. Aunt Liu suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and said in a deep voice, "There is indeed a secret room in that ancestral hall. I know where it is."
Xia Junshan immediately said: "Then please come with us now."
Aunt Liu paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
It stands to reason that it is impossible for a concubine like her to know about the ancestral hall, but the eldest son of the Feng family at that time had a perverse personality, and his family did not allow him to marry an actress, so he secretly took her to his own ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, and told her the secrets of the ancestral hall that only the Feng family knew.
It's a pity that beauty fades easily and people's hearts change easily. The feelings that were so strong back then have faded away in the blink of an eye.
Along the way, Aunt Liu couldn't help but recall the time when she lived in Feng's family. Now when she recalled those times, it seemed like a lifetime ago.
When you step into the ancestral hall, it no longer resembles the old days. The rows of solemn and oppressive tablets have disappeared, the exquisite and simple buildings are also a bit dilapidated, and even the blue bricks on the ground are covered with dust.
Aunt Liu walked into the main hall on her bound feet. This was a place she could only enter secretly before, but now she could walk in openly with her head held high.
She pointed at the runes on the wall and said, "Have people press the eighth character in the first row and the first character in the ninth row at the same time."
Xia Junshan nodded and waved to the people behind him to pass.
Soon two soldiers stepped forward and pressed the two words at the same time. After a few seconds, a small door slowly opened in the right corner of the wall engraved with inscriptions.
"I've never been in there, so I don't know what's going on inside." Aunt Liu reminded, looking at the door.
Zhao Zhengliu couldn't wait to say, "Captain, I'll take two people in to explore the way first."
Xia Junshan nodded: "Be careful, the criminal's accomplices may be inside."
Zhao Zhengliu nodded and rushed in with a gun in hand. After investigating clues for so many days, he finally made a major discovery. This matter was most likely related to the last kidnapping case.
This way, he can solve this problem before his old injury heals, and then...
Bang!
Two shots were heard.
Bang!
Another shot rang out.
Xia Junshan's face darkened and he immediately rushed in with his gun in hand.
The space inside was very small, about ten square meters, empty and with nothing in it. There was a staircase leading downwards in the left corner. Xia Junshan walked over with a gun tightly in his hand.
Going down the stairs, there is a large space below. I originally thought that the underground secret room would be pitch dark, but now I can see it very clearly, as if there is a light on.
Xia Junshan saw Zhao Zhengliu sitting on the ground with his hands covering his chest. Right in front of him was a man being pinned to the ground by a soldier.
Behind Zhao Zhengliu was a man lying on the ground with a gunshot wound in the chest, dying. A soldier stood beside him and took the gun from his hand.
"Zhengliu, how are you?" Xia Junshan asked while vigilantly looking at the surrounding environment.
Zhao Zhengliu gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, the bullet didn't hit my heart, damn! I was tricked by the people behind me..."
Hearing his voice, Xia Junshan felt a little relieved. It seemed that there was indeed no serious problem.
His eyes searched quickly but couldn't find Lu Yannan.
He stepped forward and kicked the man who was pinned to the ground, "Where did you hide the child?"
The man on the ground didn't say a word. Xia Junshan saw that he was shot in the left leg, so he raised his hand and shot him in the right leg without hesitation.
"Ah! Go...go, go from there..." The man wailed and immediately pointed his finger at the dark corner.
Xia Junshan ran over and found that there was a secret passage here!
Xia Junshan turned around and said, "Send them to the hospital first, and the rest of you follow me." Then he went into the secret passage and chased after them.
…
Lu Yannan felt his body swaying in a daze. He opened his eyes with force, but everything in front of him was pitch black and he heard an unfamiliar panting sound in his ears.
After a moment, he came to his senses. He found himself being carried on someone's shoulders. His mind instantly recalled the memory before he lost consciousness. He was in the cafeteria, and suddenly a hand appeared behind him and covered his mouth with a handkerchief. Then everything went black before his eyes and he lost consciousness.
I was kidnapped.
After running for a while, the man stopped. Then he heard a rumbling sound in his ears and a dazzling white light appeared in front of his eyes.
It turns out that this is not night, but day.
Lu Yannan observed quietly and found that the person carrying him should be a man. He led him out of the dark passage. The salty sea breeze blew on his face, and the sea was in front of him.
The man pulled out a walkie-talkie from his pocket and said in a hoarse voice: "Hello, hello! This is Feiying... requesting support... bring the boat here quickly..."
Lu Yannan's breathing paused after hearing this. The man was speaking English.
The man was concentrating on listening to the intercom and didn't notice the slight movements of the boy on his shoulder.
He carried Lu Yannan on his shoulders, with his hands and head hanging on the man's back, so he did not notice the changes in Lu Yannan's eyes and breathing.
After a while, there was a voice on the intercom, announcing a time, and the man immediately started running again.
His body began to shake again, and Lu Yannan quietly reached his hand into his chest pocket. In this era, the popular style of tops was to have four pockets, two on the chest and two on the waist.
There was a handkerchief in it, which he quickly tied into a knot and threw on the ground.
The man jogged all the way to a rocky beach. It was a relatively remote place and usually no one came here.
He quickly ran to hide behind a rock and waited for the boat to pick him up.
Lu Yannan breathed lightly and closed his eyes.
The man casually put the child on his shoulders on the ground and sat there catching his breath, his eyes looking anxiously at the sea across the way.
Xia Junshan led his men to chase after the secret passage. It turned out that the secret passage had several forks in the road. They spent a lot of effort before they found the exit.
Outside was an empty coastline, with no one in sight.
Where to chase?
Xia Junshan frowned, preparing to have his men split up, when suddenly, out of the corner of his eye he saw something white not far away.
He ran over to check and found it was a knotted white handkerchief.
Xia Junshan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately shouted, "Here, everyone follow me."
This is Lu Yannan’s handkerchief. The knot was taught to the children by Meng Yufei. Meng Yufei is very dexterous and she can fold the handkerchief into various small animals.
The two children are currently still in the stage of learning how to tie knots, which is the knot of the handkerchief in their hands now.
…
After waiting for a long time, a fishing boat finally appeared on the sea. The man's face lit up with joy, and he carried Lu Yannan on his back and ran towards the sea.
Lu Yannan continued to pretend to be dizzy. When the man was carried on his shoulders, his hand touched the man's waist and felt something foreign.
He knew at once that it was a gun!
The man ran to the seaside, stretched out one hand and waved vigorously towards the ship, leaving only one hand to hold Lu Yannan to prevent him from falling off his shoulder, so he didn't use much strength.
The man naturally didn't pay attention to the unconscious child and didn't stand on guard.
Lu Yannan took a deep breath and bit the man's shoulder hard.
"oops!"
The man was caught off guard and felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He subconsciously released the hand that was holding Lu Yannan, and his body twisted unconsciously.
Lu Yannan struggled hard, jumped off the man nimbly, and quickly pulled the gun out from the man's waist.
"You little beast..." the man cursed and reached out to grab the man.
Then, his expression changed, and he saw the child standing in front of him, holding up a gun and pointing it at him with a stern look on his face.
"You...you little brat, put the gun down! I tell you, only I can shoot this gun, you can't shoot it well..." As the man spoke, he quietly moved his legs towards Lu Yannan, intending to hold him down when he wasn't paying attention.
How can a child know how to shoot a gun? The man thought disdainfully.
This kid Lu Yannan really knows how to shoot.
Although he has never fired a gun, he has seen many people firing guns since he can remember, including his grandfather, father, uncle... He has always had a good memory and is a quick learner.
Calmly open the safety, aim at the man's heart, and pull the trigger.
Bang!
The bullet was fired amid the man's disbelieving eyes.
The recoil of the gun caused Lu Yannan's hand to tremble, and his body fell backwards and sat on the ground.
The man wanted to rush over to Lu Yannan, but the wound on his chest made it difficult for him to move, and he finally collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, the boat on the sea stopped, and Lu Yannan saw someone jumping off the boat.
Ignoring the pain in his right hand, he picked up the gun, climbed up, and ran away quickly.
After being unconscious for such a long time, perhaps the effect of the drug had not yet worn off. Lu Yannan still felt his legs were weak and he staggered when he ran. He was not paying attention and tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
Hearing hurried footsteps behind him, Lu Yannan gritted his teeth, got up, and continued running forward without looking back.
"Don't run! I'll shoot if you run again!" a threatening voice came from behind.
Lu Yannan ignored him and continued running forward, his small figure revealing stubbornness and determination.
The man behind him really raised his gun and aimed, and the man next to him immediately held down the gun and shouted, "The higher-ups have told us to take him alive!"
"Then break his legs and see how he can run."
Bang!
There was another shot.
Lu Yannan paused, looked down, and found that he was not shot and did not feel any pain in his body.
"Yan Nan, get down quickly!"
Hearing Xia Junshan's shout, Lu Yannan immediately fell to the ground, and then he heard a series of gunshots above his head.
Soon, the gunfire stopped, and I heard hurried footsteps, followed by a familiar voice with a concerned tone: "Yannan, are you injured?"
Lu Yannan raised his head and looked at Xia Junshan who appeared in front of him. His nose felt sore for a moment. After all, he was just a child. Even if he was calm just now, he couldn't help feeling aggrieved when he saw a familiar adult.
"How are you? Are you injured?" Xia Junshan helped Lu Yannan up and looked at him with concern.
Lu Yannan shook his head: "Uncle Xia, I'm not hurt."
After saying this, he raised the gun in his hand and said in a rather boastful tone: "This is the gun of the person who kidnapped me. I stole it from him."
Xia Junshan looked at the gun and asked in surprise, "Did you steal it?"
Lu Yannan nodded: "Yeah, I shot him."
Xia Junshan smiled and patted his shoulder: "Good boy, you look like a good soldier."
Then, he frowned and said seriously: "But children can't hold guns, so let your uncle keep it." Then he confiscated the gun.
Lu Yannan looked at the gun reluctantly.
Xia Junshan said with a smile: "When you grow up, your uncle will take you to shoot a gun in person." Then he picked up Lu Yannan and said, "Let's go back first."
Not far away, the people who came down from the boat to pursue were killed or injured, and the survivors were all captured by the soldiers.
Xia Junshan ordered his men to escort these prisoners alive to the army. Many people were captured this time, and a lot of information could be obtained from them.
The ship ran away when it saw that something was wrong. Xia Junshan immediately used a walkie-talkie to contact the patrol ship at sea to intercept it. Most of the troops' ships went to point X to salvage today, so this ship was able to sneak in.
After explaining everything, Xia Junshan carried Lu Yannan towards the military hospital.
