Two groups of people huddled under the cave wall that was recessed five or six meters on the left side, and they had heard the conversation and footsteps between Wu Ming and the young guard, so they had already stopped crying and talking in fright, and looked at the people with frightened eyes in the darkness.

Wu Ming stopped when he found the target, and vaguely saw two piles of people sitting on the dry grass, two on the right and three on the left, four or five meters apart, because the light was too dim, he could only vaguely see the figure, there was no way Wu Ming took a few steps forward, and finally saw the three people on the left huddled together in horror.

After staying for a while, Wu Ming's eyes adapted to the brightness here, and he clearly recognized the woman who was tightly guarded by the two old men in the middle, and it turned out to be a pregnant woman with a big belly, this discovery shocked Wu Ming extremely much, and Wu Ming, the two people four or five meters away on the right, was not in the mood to identify.

There is a pungent smell of fishy smell and rotten smell here, so strong that it is disgusting, almost suffocating, even a strong man like Wu Ming is unbearable, not to mention that the old man and pregnant women have been staying here?

You must know that the dirty air in the Langdao is very harmful to pregnant women and fetuses, and the obvious bulge in the woman's abdomen is probably six or seven months pregnant, how can she continue to stay like this? In this barren mountain and wilderness where there is a lack of medical treatment, if you can't bear it and fall, I'm afraid your life will be in danger at any time.

Wu Ming immediately pleaded with the young man who accompanied him: "This good man, this woman has a big belly, she can't stay in this kind of place, otherwise she may have a miscarriage, or even die because of it, if this is really not good for you, can you give them a different place?" Don't ask for anything else, don't need to get out of the hole, just move to the place where my little brother and I lay last night! ”

The young man thought about it and finally nodded, Wu Ming didn't care about the dirty smell, walked to the two old men and squatted down, and said as kindly as possible: "The two old men listen to me, this place is very bad for this sister-in-law's health, and if you stay any longer, there must be a problem, if you don't make it, this sister-in-law will fall, if that's the case, the child may not be able to be saved, it is better to move to a place with better air in front, do you think about it?" ”

The two old men were probably frightened and huddled together and didn't dare to answer, so Wu Ming had to patiently advise the pregnant woman, explain his worries, and promise that nothing would happen that would hurt them.

Wu Ming was handsome and upright, coupled with his gentle words and sincerity, he finally won the trust of the two old men and the pregnant woman, but the three of them seemed to be stupid and didn't dare to talk to Wu Ming, they just nodded again and again, helped each other to get up, and followed Wu Ming to the entrance of the cave tremblingly.

"Dear Sir, Dear Sir, we need your kind help, and we want to follow you too!"

The strange Chinese with a slight Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent sounded loudly, and Wu Ming looked back and was surprised again, and it turned out to be a tall foreigner with a scruffy beard.

Looking at the foreigner with pleading in his eyes, Wu Ming nodded for a while and motioned for them to follow. The foreigner was overjoyed, did not forget to thank him repeatedly, went back to help his companion catch up, and followed Wu Ming closely behind him to the depression more than ten meters away from the entrance of the cave.

Wu Ming saw that the hay on the ground was very thin, barely covering the dust and bare rocks, and hurriedly instructed the two old men to wait for a while, and he looked around for something to sit on and keep warm.

The young guard on the side shook his head again and again, sighed and strode out of the cave, and quickly brought two large bundles of hay and threw them to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming smiled and thanked him, quickly untied the straw rope, spread the two bundles of hay evenly on the innermost flat place, and politely asked the two old men and the pregnant woman to rest.

The two old men thanked each other repeatedly, and the pregnant woman whose face and hands were already swollen was grateful, bowed deeply to Wu Ming with tears, and then respectfully helped the old man sit down first.

Wu Ming only saw the appearance of the pregnant woman clearly at this time: she was moderately in shape and pale, although her face was slightly swollen, she could still see her delicate and upright appearance, she was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, she was not beautiful, and she still had a rare demeanor in her panic, and she was quite educated.

The woman looked at Wu Ming, her eyes contained a little inquiry, Wu Ming waved her hand to signal her to sit down and rest, turned to the foreigner and smiled, nodded to the Chinese wearing glasses and a priest's robe next to the foreigner, which was a formal greeting.

The foreigners who could speak Chinese had calmed down, and they were very moved by Wu Ming's help, knowing that Wu Ming and the bandits were not in the same group, and bowed deeply to Wu Ming gratefully, and the words in his mouth seemed to be praying to God.

Wu Ming was not in the mood to pay too much attention to it, and he was not willing to pretend to be like this, he returned to the young guard and thanked him in a low voice again.

The young guard was also a polite man, so he called Wu Ming to walk to the entrance of the cave farther away from the hostages, sat on the raised rock and whispered to Wu Ming, seemingly very interested in Wu Ming's identity and experience. Wu Ming has to answer all questions, as long as it is not something he does not want to say, he will not deliberately hide it, and after a conversation, the two get along well.

The person who delivered the meal and the quilt finally came, Wu Ming thanked him politely, took the quilt and immediately walked to the two old men and the pregnant woman sitting in the corner, unfolded the quilt and put it behind them, and then went back to lift the basket containing a big bowl of steaming rice and a big bowl of dried vegetable stew, and ran to the old man and the pregnant woman again and squatted down: "Eat it while it's hot, the chopsticks are not enough, you just pick up two thick grass roots as chopsticks, and you will deal with it." ”

"Hey, hey! This is what my master ordered to give to you, if you give it to others, Lao Tzu doesn't have the time to send it to you again, a few of them have their own meals, and they will send them in the afternoon. The middle-aged man who brought the meal warned Wu Ming loudly.

Wu Ming turned around and said with a smile: "This good man, junior brother Xie Lu thanked you, but this big-bellied eldest sister and the two old men are so hungry that they can't move, they need this meal more than me, you can treat it as a little brother to eat, if the little brother is hungry, eat their share in the afternoon." ”

"Oh! I've never seen you pretend to be a good person like this, and I don't look at what time it is, and I can't guarantee that I will pay back my mother's care to others! The middle-aged man seemed to have a bad temper, and he didn't want to look at Wu Ming anymore and turned around and left, and the young man shook his head and followed.

Watching the two bandits walk out of the cave, Wu Ming sat on the rock and laughed self-deprecatingly, raised his head and saw that the two old men and the pregnant woman did not move their chopsticks, they were all looking at him with complicated expressions, and after thinking about it, they strode out of the cave, saving them from scruples and not letting go.

Coming to the outside of the cave and looking into the distance, the surrounding mountains are majestic and stretching, Wu Ming slowly analyzed and calculated in his mind according to the time of arrival last night, the general direction and the scenery in front of him.

After a long time, Wu Ming speculated that this place should be the north of Yushan County, belonging to the hinterland of Bijia Mountain or Gexian Weng Mountain in the Huaiyu Mountain Range, and it would not be more than forty kilometers away from Yushan County, and the straight-line distance was likely to be only twenty kilometers, otherwise it would be impossible for the bandits to get themselves to this place in only half a night.

Overlooking the mountainside more than 60 meters below, there are wooden houses on both sides of the stream that are hidden in the big trees, and the unique sound of a waterfall pouring from the west can be faintly heard.

Wu Ming immediately climbed up to the four or five meters high rock on the right side of the cave entrance and looked west, and found that beyond the dense and tall forest treetops six hundred meters away, there was a gentle slope of hundreds of meters long and wide, and a stream meandered through it, and he vaguely saw a group of busy men, women, and children and a few ploughing cattle.

This discovery made Wu Ming secretly surprised in his heart, it seemed that the strongman who got himself here was not a professional bandit, and gradually felt that this bandit cave seemed to be less hateful, with a little more warmth and life.
