***************************

After washing up, Wu Ming's mood had adjusted. Although he was still surrounded by painful guilt, his face was much better. Seeing the many women who had just untied the rope and cried, they were divided like commodities by the master, Wu Ming couldn't bear to see this. This was a chaotic world where the strong prey on the weak, which was far more cruel than he thought.

With the master shouting a few times, more than ten men and women lifted the wounded in the cave and went down the mountain carefully. Everyone, including the hostages, left the life-saving cave and returned to the two rows of houses by the deep pool to recuperate.

Wu Ming followed behind the crowd with his little-footed old lady who was caught up the mountain. The big-bellied woman supported her father and walked carefully. It took a long time to safely reach the edge of the deep pool with a good environment.

The careful master and the wife of Lu Da's wife told people to go and boil water, take out a few sets of clean clothes, and politely asked Wu Ming and the five hostages to take baths and change clothes separately. Several women rushed to wash the clothes that Wu Ming changed, saying that they could not let their life-saving benefactor wear dirty clothes.

Sitting under the towering ancient tree again, Wu Ming looked at his clean hands and felt a lot of emotion. His experience in just a few days shocked him and sighed.

When the Lu Dada family arrived, he sat opposite each other and looked at Wu Ming gratefully: "Brother, I will never thank you for your kindness. I have no choice but to let you know when I was sorry for your place before. I also asked my brother not to care about it. I will definitely repay my kindness. If my brother does not dislike you, my brother will be my Lu Zhengde's relatives in this life!"

The master and the third head of the family gathered around to thank him repeatedly, and they were respectful and tame. At the door of the house not far away, more than twenty men and a group of wives were also standing quietly, and looked at Wu Ming with gratitude.

Wu Ming quickly stood up and asked everyone to sit down. He took the hot tea delivered by Lu Kuiyuan with both hands and gently put it down: "Don't do this, I can't afford it!"

"If you say this, you will not forgive us in your heart!"

The master smiled bitterly: "I won't say anything about it. We originally made up our minds to keep you no matter what, and even planned to use the five hostages to threaten you. But after this life and death, we all know that we can't keep you, the cross-river dragon. Oh! Look at you, there must be something hidden in our hearts... Let's say that, even if we want my old guy's life, I will give it to you."

Wu Ming smiled politely: "You are so serious. In fact, helping you is also helping me. If those people are allowed to come in, we may be even more unlucky. To be honest, you may not be able to beat them at that time, but you were suddenly attacked and were careless, just drinking and not arranged a post."

"I thought about it carefully afterwards and found that although the sneak attackers were fully equipped with weapons, their formation was chaotic and unorganized, obviously they had no training, and they were not as strong as you, and they were not as strong as you. In addition, Brother Lu was shot and fell down later, and the morale of the army was in chaos, so he couldn't stand it."

Wu Ming paused for a moment and continued to say to everyone who nodded frequently: "Maybe as an outsider, I can see clearly. I will go around and knock down a few by chance. It is not worth everyone's kindness. If I really want to thank me, I will ask Brother Wu and the heroes to let these people go back as soon as possible, especially the pregnant sister-in-law, whose husband is still locked in the Quzhou prison, waiting to redeem it with the money. She is anxious... I am worried that she will be anxious, so that will be a crime."

Everyone was speechless for a moment, and Master Lu came back and sighed repeatedly.

The head of the Lu Dajia, who was full of shame, suddenly stood up: "I won't say anything. I will personally send you down the mountain tomorrow, the third one..."

"Brother?" The third leader quickly stood up.

"Kill pigs, serve wine, serve incense! I want to apologize for Brother Wu." The thick chest of Mr. Lu rose and fell, and the wound wrapped on his right face bleeding again, and he was obviously very excited.

"I'll go now." The Sandang family turned around and left.

The sun is about to set, the banquet has been set, and the two foreign monks and the elderly family who have been trapped in the mountain for nearly a month have also been respectfully invited to sit at the long-lost dining table.

Wu Ming tried his best to hold on to the head of Lu Dajia and several leaders who were about to kneel down to him, and sincerely toasted three bowls in one breath. Throwing them away was to put aside all the festivals before.

A group of men were very grateful. The head of Lu, the head of the third head of the army, and the master respected Wu Ming a bowl of wine again. Then he burst into laughter and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Finally, Wu Ming was drunk. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he found two foreign monks sitting in front of his bed. When they saw Wu Ming wake up, they hurriedly brought tea and kept whispering thanks.

The foreign monk told Wu Ming with emotion that the master had made a clear statement and sent them down the mountain at dawn. In addition to fifty pieces of cloth, the ransom of 10,000 yuan was also returned.

After listening patiently, Wu Ming asked them to rest kindly, lay down again and looked at the old mosquito net. He didn't close his eyes until dawn. After thinking about it, he put on his clothes and walked out of the house, came to the big camphor tree and lit a cigarette and sucked silently.

"Didn't sleep?"

The master came to his side at some point and sat on the side of Wu Ming with a pot of tea.

Wu Ming just looked at him without saying anything. The master didn't care. He drank a sip of tea with the mouth of the teapot in his mouth. He looked at the starry sky and sighed quietly: "What are your plans for the next step? Do you really want to study in Shanghai? Don't care, I have no other intentions. You are my benefactor, you can go wherever you want."

Wu Ming was silent for a long time and suddenly said something that surprised the master: "I am very confused now and I feel like a sinner. Alas! I want to take advantage of the master and the boss's treasure land to rest for a while, and then I will talk about what to do when I want to go.

Is it OK?"

The master stood up suddenly and sat down slowly after a long time: "Tomorrow, I will build a new house for you."

"No, I'll just live in the cave. Cleaning it up will make it a good place to be warm in winter and cool in summer. There is an open space at the entrance of the cave, as well as big trees and clear springs, which is a blessed land." After Wu Ming said that, he lit a cigarette again, and the curling smoke covered his face, making it impossible to see his eyes clearly.

The next morning, Wu Ming had breakfast under the warm greeting of the men of the village, and walked down the two-kilometer long mountain road to the east, escorting five hostages to the flat grass beside the stream at the foot of the mountain to rest. Dozens of old and young people in the village were standing at the cliff entrance of the mountain top to watch for a long time. So far, no one of them knew that Wu Ming would stay.

After resting and getting on the road again, after walking about four kilometers of rugged mountain road, the long team finally walked out of the mountain pass covered with wild forests and streams. After climbing over a rugged mountain, the wide Sanqing Lake ahead came into view from afar.

At the entrance of two lonely houses at the intersection of the mountain at the foot of the mountain, three honest middle-aged men stood. Seeing the head of Lu and his master walking in front, they immediately trotted up. After the ceremony, they listened to the master's orders and immediately invited the two old men and women with big belly to the carriage at the door. Two men behind the master carried a few bags and sent them into the carriage.

The old lady with little feet opened each bag in panic and found that it was full of several antiques and gold bars from her family. She lost a lot of them. The whole family was stunned for a moment and cried with joy.

Arranged two foreign monks to board another carriage and leave. The head of Lu Da held Wu Ming's hand and was relieved. Wu Ming whispered in his ear. The head of Lu Da Da nodded frequently and quickly called the master and the third head of the house to discuss. Then he threw the matter to the master a few, and took Wu Ming's hand and walked back without caring. The twenty-something brothers who thought they were going to say goodbye to Wu Ming were stunned. After a while, they came back one after another and made a heartfelt cheer.

Lu Kuiyuan chased Wu Ming excitedly: "Brother Wu really stayed?"

Wu Ming kept walking: "I have no place to go for a while, you won't want to drive me away, right?"

"Hahahahaha! That's great, Brother Wu, you must teach me how to shoot, I will teach you boxing, how about it?" Lu Kuiyuan almost jumped up in excitement.

Mr. Lu shouted loudly: "Shut up! Your two sparse postures dare to show off in front of your Brother Wu? If you don't know the depth, go ahead and ask your mother to cook a table of good food, and then take out your grandfather's jar of good wine."

"Okay!"

Lu Kuiyuanfei rushed to the front as if he was like a rush, and the young people behind him also raised their legs and accelerated their speed, and passed by Wu Ming and the boss and quickly entered the mountain.

#######

Two carriages carrying the hostages released into the main road smoothly. The woman with a big belly on the carriage in front saw the familiar scenery on both sides of the road and pedestrians in groups of three or three, and finally confirmed that she had left the bandit's nest. She couldn't help but shed tears again: "This time, the misfortune turned into good fortune, and you can still get all the money and antiques that were robbed, all depends on Mr. Wu!"

The old man, who was slightly shocked and haggard, nodded and sighed: "I don't know if I can see Mr. Wu and my daughter in the future. Don't think so much. Let's take this kindness to heart first, wait until I went to Changshan to meet my in-laws, and then redeem Youchun from the prison."

"Dad, you started doing business at the age of sixteen. You have been traveling around the world for decades. What kind of person do you think Mr. Wu is?" the woman asked curiously, wiping away tears.

The old man pondered for a moment, shook his head and was at a loss: "I can't say it, Mr. Wu is a talented person, speaks kindly, acts openly and openly, is a person who values ​​affection and righteousness, and speaks English. But when he hears those bandits' comments, I'm afraid that Mr. Wu will be scary when he kills people! I can't understand no matter how you look at it, alas!"

In the carriage that followed behind, Hangzhou pastor Dai Zichen was also asking American priest Lei Mengde in English: "Father, what do you think of Mr. Wu? He didn't go with us."

Lei Mengde was solemn and looked at the back of the car subconsciously: "That mountain cannot keep him. He is a principled young man. If I guess it is good, he may have studied in a military academy and received a good civilized education. As for why he was caught up by bandits, I still don't understand, but one thing is certain that he will never stay in the bandits' den."

"Yes, during this period, he said twice that he really wanted to visit European and American countries to see the development history of modern industry and science and technology. Therefore, with his knowledge and ability, he should not be with the barbaric and ignorant bandits. Maybe he will go to Shanghai soon."

"I always feel that we will have a chance to meet him in the future... but until now we don't know his full name and hometown, otherwise we will be able to find out his details." Dai Zichen seemed to be trapped in memories.

Lei Mengde nodded: "David, I agree with you. However, after we return to Yushan County to report safety to the local church, we should not try to use the power of China to retaliate. Although the bandits arrested us for more than half a month, our personal injury was not harmed, and the bandits finally returned a ransom of 10,000 yuan. In this case, we do not need to demand the incompetent soldiers to suppress the bandits, so as not to induce possible revenge. And I dare say that your army is not braver than the bandits on the mountain."

Dai Zichen agreed deeply: "Yes! It's good that this is the case. As long as we don't take revenge, this bandit will probably not make things difficult for the clergy who are walking around in the future, nor will they hurt the Yushan Church. In general, they are still kind in their hearts. There is a famous saying in China, "There is also the word of thieves, which is what I feel most at ease. Thank God, thank Mr. Wu! If I have the opportunity to see him in the future, I will thank him very well."

Lei Mengde nodded slightly, staring at the scene behind the car thoughtfully, his mind was full of Wu Ming's lingering face.
