Chapter 72: Salvation
Li Bingshan is an incredible person.
This was Liu Zhongyuan's thought after meeting the guide arranged for them by Li Bingshan.
The guide's name was Yu Kui, who looked like a cross-haired face, and followed an eighteen-nineteen soldier with a flattering smile, and as soon as he saw Liu Zhongyuan and his colleagues, he immediately shouted: "The government is good!" β
This person who has been released from prison is a second-rate person who has been in prison.
Yu Kui is a local, and his grandfather's generation is still in the mountains, so he will go to the town. Although the family's move from the village to the town is considered an improvement, Yu Kui has liked the atmosphere of the village since he was a child, and how comfortable the village is! No need to work, no need to go to school, no need to write homework, no need to be scolded by teachers, play cards every day!
After learning card skills in the village, he wanted to become a gambling god in a big city! Go make a lot of money! It's the same as the fat brother in the movie.
In the end, he learned to open gambling games and black casinos in the city, and the city was strictly investigated, so he ran back to his hometown to continue to open casinos and deceive people in the city to gamble. After 9-8 years of hard crackdown, I went in, lived in the number for more than ten years, and it was not two years after it was released.
As soon as he saw Liu Zhongyuan, he knew that this was a policeman, and he must have come to arrest the fugitives! immediately patted his chest and promised: "Rest assured, leader!" I know every road here! I know where to hide people! I know all about which village, which family, and what the people look like! β
Liu Zhongyuan said: "Then you should cooperate with our work." β
"I'll definitely cooperate!" Yu Kui's eyes are shining! Hey, hey, hey! The thought of arresting someone! Or if he follows to arrest people, he will be excited! If he hates the police, he must hate; But the police told him to arrest someone, and he preferred to go! Why did he go in, and other grandsons could still be free outside? They should be allowed to go in and be educated!
After Li Bingshan arrived, one of the tasks he arranged for him was to centralize the management of the local people who had been released from prison. When he found out that this place was a den of human traffickers, and the local villagers were all shielding him, he called these people out and asked them to lead the way, and the local ordinary people didn't need it.
"These people can't see the good of others, and use them to arrest people, one by one! They're more positive than you are. Just be careful not to let him run away. Li Bingshan said to Liu Zhongyuan.
"Leave it to me, don't worry, how to take it away, how to bring it back to you." Liu Zhongyuan said.
"Do you bring that person?" Li Bingshan pointed to the man who had been transferred.
After Liu Zhongyuan found out that the officers here were willing to cooperate with them to rescue Jin Lan, he discussed taking the man out of the hotel and putting him here to take care of him, so that he would not escape.
Liu Zhongyuan said: "Take it, we don't know the exact location yet, and we have to rely on him to lead the way." "With this man, coupled with Yu Kui's double insurance, there should be no accident.
Li Bingshan said: "I'll give you ten more people, come back immediately after saving people, don't be entangled when you are discovered, just run back." There are quite a few of our people in the mountains, so it shouldn't be a big problem. "Most of the villagers have been evacuated, and now there are only villages far away, and the places where the fires broke out have not been investigated, and there are not many villagers still in the mountains. These manpower will be sufficient.
"Thank you for your cooperation!" Liu Zhongyuan shook hands with Li Bingshan heavily.
"Thank me again when the person is rescued!" Li Bingshan said.
The ten people led by Xu Fu separated, and Yu Kui led the way in front, and asked the man if he was unsure. If the man was not very scared at first, now he sees so many policemen and so many soldiers that his legs are so frightened. But his weak legs didn't hinder anything, because the two policemen who just came today supported him on the left and right, and they dragged him over even if they dragged him hard.
"Brother, I said just say it, and if you say it, you will be lighter. Do you think you'll be fine if someone burns you? Wrong! You put people in the house, right? If she burns to death, you kill someone! β
Liu Zhongyuan found that Yu Kui was really "doing his best", and he also found that this man had the intention of procrastinating, so Yu Kui went to scare him.
The man was really frightened, "Can't! It's up to me to burn to death? He looked left and right, but no one was willing to comfort him, and he was even more frightened when they were all fierce to him.
"Who are you not up to?" Yu Kui asked him rhetorically, "Did you buy it?" Did you close the house? Are you locking her? If you don't buy it, people are still at home; If you don't lock it, she can still escape if it catches fire! The law stipulates that you will kill her! Death penalty! Yu Kui slammed his head, and the man shook again.
The police and the soldiers all looked up to the sky.
The man wanted to be reasonable: "That...... She was abducted by others, not by me, and if I don't buy it, someone else will buy it...... This is not bad for me...... "The more he said, the more he felt justified, "Besides, she wants to run, I don't lock her, won't she run?" β
Yu Kui said: "If your daughter-in-law doesn't want to live with you, she can go back to her parents' house!" I didn't hear that I wouldn't let me go back to my parents' house! You're breaking the law by locking people! It's also illegal to lock up your daughter-in-law! β
Seeing that it was unreasonable, the man cried with a wow, pointed at Liu Zhongyuan and said, "You can't rely on me!" They are in charge of me, and I won't let me go back to save her! They won't let me go back! Daughter-in-law! It's not that I won't save you! Don't come to me! β
Yu Kui looked at Liu Zhongyuan quietly, and knocked the man's hand off with a snap, "Don't point at the leader!" Confess! Maybe it will lessen your sins! Tell me where your home is! If you find it, wouldn't it be okay if the person wasn't dead? So many people accompanied you to save people, why are you so ignorant! β
Under Yu Kui's coaxing and deception, the man finally pointed out the direction and said the name and location of the village. Yu Kui immediately said, "I know! β
He led the way, and the group immediately quickened their pace.
As the name suggests, Erligou is a ditch, ditch after ditch, the land is uneven, it cannot be cultivated, and no one farms. The villagers here generally live on all kinds of relief funds, county, city, state, individual, and so on. Before 2000, there were still many people in their village, but after the reform and opening up, almost all the people in the village poured out to work, and those who remained in the village were old people in their seventies and eighties. The village slowly decayed, and those who left never returned, and those who remained did not want to work or earn money. A former county magistrate once said of a person in Erligou: "The villagers are lying on the ground, with their mouths open, waiting for you to feed them." β
For a period of time, it was very popular for them to "make trouble", go to the county government and town government to "make trouble", and everyone came back with a penny of money, enough to eat and drink, and sometimes they came back with a lot of trouble, and they could also play cards and marry their daughters-in-law to build houses. After forming a habit, it became a matter of course to ask the government for money.
There have also been reporters who interviewed this place, a poor mountainous area, in need of assistance, and they found that they could still ask rich people for money, and find organizations that do good deeds for money.
As they come and go, the people here don't have the heart to work.
Yu Kui said, "We all look down on the people over there!" β
Liu Zhongyuan: They were all fascinated by what Yu Kui said, not that they didn't believe that there would be such people, but it was difficult to accept that there were still such people in the world. Who can save them when they are too lazy to even want to survive?
Yu Kui said: "It's all habitual! In the past, when no one cared, they knew to work, but now when they make a fuss, they will get money, who wants to do it? β
He also went to ask the man, "Hey, it is said that your family is like this, how can you afford to buy a daughter-in-law?" "Even if it's a daughter-in-law who buys it, it's not cheap.
The man immediately said, "Yes! I didn't buy people! You shouldn't have come to me! It was my sister-in-law who bought it! Her name is Zhang Xi! Look for her! β
Liu Zhongyuan and they all ignored him, only Yu Kui was curious and had nothing to do, so he loved to dig people's sore spots, and the more anxious he was to see the man, the happier he became, "Why did your sister-in-law buy it for you?" Tell me that you don't have to buy it, why don't you just use one person with your brother? Liu Zhongyuan turned his head angrily and glared at Yu Kui!
Yu Kui didn't see it, he was still waiting for the man to say it.
The man hung his head in frustration: "...... She didn't like it, she didn't look down on my people...... "He used to please his sister-in-law before, and wanted her to be nice to him, he thought he must be better than his eldest brother to her." He does a lot of work at home, and he listens to her, but she doesn't want to, just because he is ugly.
Liu Zhongyuan lost his temper now, but he didn't expect Yu Kui to just say it casually, this man really thought about it, and probably tested his sister-in-law.
How much more could they be surprised by such a place?
When you get to Erligou, you can see a lot of villagers. There is no way to extinguish the mountain fire so far, and Li Bingshan and they did not bother to put out the fire anymore, but only cared about saving people. So the fire is spreading all around.
Suddenly there was an explosion in the mountains, several times in a row, and then someone was heard shouting: "It's big again!" It's up again! "Liu Zhongyuan: They can't see the fire here.
One soldier said, "It doesn't sound like an artillery bombardment." β
It's not like that. It's like something is exploding.
Villagers fled for their lives with their belongings, and some ran away with cabinets. The man had been looking at the villagers running over expectantly, Liu Zhongyuan and all of them were shrinking together, and they couldn't be snatched away. But they thought too much, and the villagers saw that this group of soldiers avoided them.
If you go up a hill, you can see the shadow of the village.
Yu Kui said: "It's almost there, where is your home?" Say it! β
The man pointed and said, "Over there." You can't see it here, you can't see it there. He slowly leaned towards the edge of the mountain road, and on the other side was a mountain cliff, so Liu Zhongyuan and the others all relaxed their vigilance. I don't think he will jump down the mountain.
Yu Kui noticed it, but he didn't say it, because he remembered that when he was in prison in a law popularization class, the teacher said: Running away will aggravate the crime! You are not guilty in the first place, but you are guilty when you escape!
Therefore, if this man wants to run, he doesn't care.
"Where! Be clear! Yu Kui said.
"Over there!" The man pointed forward, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness and jumped down the cliff! Roll down in an instant!
Xu Fu couldn't react, and the two soldiers next to him wanted to arrest someone, and they almost pounced.
Xu Fu stood on the side of the mountain and looked down, and estimated the height, this person didn't do any protective measures when he jumped, it was good to break his hands and feet and break a few bones, and if he was unlucky, he would die if he rolled under the cliff.
Although it is a pity that they ran away, their main task is to save people, Xu Fu said to Liu Zhongyuan: "This is our mistake, I will report to the army when I go back." Now the main task is to rescue the trapped women, what do you want to do? Liu Zhongyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Save people first!" β
Yu Kui ran out at this time and said, "I know the place!" Let's go! β
Liu Zhongyuan didn't pay attention to his movements before, but now that he understands it, his eyes are a little unkind, "You lead the way well!" Stop being clever! β
Yu Kui was scared, and immediately said that he must do a good job, and he didn't dare anymore.
Jin Lan sat in the house, everyone ran away, and now only a few people ran by, and then ran away from the baggage or something, even if a book fell on the ground, someone picked it up and ran again.
She didn't call for help, and if she did, maybe someone would be willing to smash the door open. As for whether smashing the door open saved her or wanted to do something bad, it's hard to say.
But she didn't care if she would be burned to death. They said that the fire had burned several mountains, and through the crack in the door, the sky could be seen with billowing yellow and black smoke.
It would be nice if I could just die like that.
Jin Lan suddenly felt that this might be her best result, right? Maybe this is what God has revealed to her.
She wiped the ashes on her face, in order to make the man lose interest, she deliberately did not wash her face, did not comb her hair, and did not change her clothes in the past few days.
But now she wants to clean up.
She also uses her fingers as a comb and arranges her hair.
When she turned her head, she saw a ghost figure in the light that came through the crack in the door.
"It's you. There you are? That's fine, so I'll have someone to lead the way. Jin Lan smiled and said that she was not afraid of ghosts at all now, and she was about to become a ghost.
"Come, let's talk."
She could see the ghost's face clearly, it turned out to be a young man.
Jin Lan said, "You are so handsome." When I become a ghost, shall I chase you? As long as you don't dislike me. β
The male ghost looked at her sadly and walked over. Jin Lan was not afraid at all, and reached out to touch him: "Do you want to take me away?" I just heard that it hurts to burn to death, and it's very uncomfortable to choke to death, do you have a way to kill me? β
She felt a coldness on the back of her hand, and when she looked down, it turned out to be a male ghost writing on her hand.
γEscapeγ
She shook her head and smiled, "I can't escape." β
The male ghost also shook his head and pointed out the door.
"What's going on out there?" Jin Lan stood up and heard a lot of footsteps rushing towards him. When she looked back, the male ghost was gone.
At this time, a clean voice outside the door, speaking Mandarin, politely asked her, "Is there anyone in the house?" Gold Blue! I'm police officer Liu Zhongyuan! I'm here to save you! β
Before she could react, she slammed down on the door and howled!!
"Ahhhhhh!!!!hhh
