"How could they let such a young child and woman..."

"if not?"

Wei Ran asked Zac without giving him a chance to finish, "The war has reached this point. For them, the invaders are already massacring their villages, killing the elderly, women and children. They already have enough reasons to take advantage of them."

No weapons."

"It should be photographed"

Zach pointed at the women and children who were in class, and said in a slightly louder voice, "It's time to take pictures of their classes and teaching aids, and let the world know what they are going through."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Ran also noticed that Li Youfu not far away from the window seemed to have heard Zach's voice. After taking a few steps forward, he pressed the shutter towards the child.

"Look, my photographer and I are working very well together." Zach breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice slightly.

"Hey! Can you get us some food?" Wei Ran enthusiastically waved to a guerrilla Yu who passed by the window and asked loudly in English.

"Pooh!"

The guerrillas passing by outside were startled by Wei Ran's shouting. They subconsciously picked up the French submachine gun hanging on their shoulders, and then spat at Wei Ran.

Are all the people here born as camels?

Wei Ran cursed secretly, then looked up worriedly at the sky that was filled with the smell of defoliant.

He knows very well that since the spraying helicopter was shot down just now, this place will probably be affected by the war soon. And he believes that the guerrillas in this camp may also know it.

Unable to help but look back at the iron chain imprisoning the shackles, Wei Ran turned his head and asked Zach in a low voice, "Do you still have your ring?"

"certainly"

Zach said, not forgetting to reach out and show the ring still on his finger.

"Lend it to me again," Wei Ran whispered.

"Do you want to run away?" Although Zac asked this, he took off the ring and handed it to Wei Ran without any delay.

"I'm afraid there will be a fight here soon."

Wei Ran took the ring and skillfully straightened it again, constantly reminding him, "Even if we don't run away, we must be able to leave this wooden house at any time.

Not only would we not be able to hide if American aerial bombs or machine guns came over, but you wouldn’t expect anyone to take the risk to come to the cabin to rescue us at that time, would you?”

"That makes sense." Zach couldn't help but nodded.

"Help me keep an eye out," Wei Ran said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zach immediately looked outside the door, while Wei Ran sat down against the wall by the window and tried to use the metal piece in his hand to pry open the padlock on his foot.

However, the gold ring was softer and wider after all, and the padlock was not a handcuff after all. So after all this trouble, he couldn't even push the metal piece in his hand into the keyhole, let alone pry open the padlock.

.

After such a delay, the roar of anti-aircraft machine guns, the roar of fighter jets and even aerial bombs could be heard from further away in the jungle outside the window.

At this time, a little boy who looked about eleven or twelve years old brought them food - two bamboo tubes filled with rice, two bamboo tubes filled with water, and two pairs of bamboo chopsticks.

“Is this all we have to eat?”

Zach took his portion and asked, "This bamboo tube is not big, and the rice inside is not full at all. If they were poured out, it would only be half a bowl. The most important thing is that they

The only food available seems to be rice.

When Zach asked the question, the kid who obviously didn't speak English was destined not to give any answer.

“It’s better than not having anything to eat at all”

As Wei Ran spoke, he pulled out the bamboo stopper on the bamboo tube containing water and smelled it. Fortunately, there was no specific problem of defoliant in the water.

"But this is too little." As Zach spoke, he picked out a lump of rice with his fingers and put it into his mouth, frowning and saying, "And it seems stale."

“It’s better than not having anything to eat at all”

Wei Ran repeated as he poured water into the bamboo tube containing the rice, making himself a more filling tube of soup rice.

"What's the way to eat it?" Zach asked Weiran curiously.

“Rice Soup”

Wei Ran made a fool of himself and started pouring it into his mouth casually. Sure enough, as Zach said, the rice was indeed not too fresh, but luckily it didn't have much rancidity, so it was still edible.

After finishing the meal in two or three mouths, the sound of firefighting in the distance outside the window became more and more intense, but it sounded like it was still quite a distance away from them.

Just as Wei Ran was filling the bamboo tube with rice again with water, Li Youfu and a woman in black clothes and black trousers walked out of the door supporting Ruan Qingcha, who had an injured shoulder.

"Doctor Victor, can you change the medicine for her wound?" Li Youfu stood outside the door and asked loudly in English, "We don't have a doctor here."

"sure"

Wei Ran stood by the window, pretending not to notice that the person who asked him questions last night was peeping not far away, and replied loudly in English, "Please come in, but I don't have any medicine here, so you have to take care of it yourself."

Medicines will do.”

"We brought medicine"

Li Youfu said, and together with the woman in black clothes and black trousers, he helped Ruan Qingcha up the steps to the door. He waited for the woman in black clothes and black trousers to open the ajar door, and then walked in with Ruan Qingcha.

.

"I need to wash my hands first"

Wei Ran raised his hands and said, "It's best to have a piece of soap, otherwise by the time I finish changing the medicine, her wound may become infected soon."

Hearing this, Ruan Qingcha, who looked slightly pale, weakly said something to the woman in a more difficult language that Wei Ran and Zach couldn't understand. The latter nodded immediately, and first looked at her cautiously, deliberately keeping her distance.

Smiling, Wei Ran and Zach turned around and walked out of the cabin.

"Troye..."

"I will let you survive"

Li Youfu made a promise in a low voice before Zac finished speaking, then picked up the enamel kettle in the corner and walked out of the wooden house. At the same time, Ruan Qingcha also pulled out the 1911 pistol that belonged to Wei Ran and pointed it at them vigilantly.

Two people.

After a while, Li Youfu brought back the enamel kettle filled with water and placed it in the corner, while winking at Wei Ran and Zach.

Almost immediately, the woman in black clothes and trousers also walked in carrying a tub of water. There was a towel on the edge of the tub. In her hand, she also held an extra bamboo tube filled with soap.

.

At the same time, Li Youfu also took out a US military individual first aid box, two rolls of sealed gauze and a penicillin injection from his pocket.

After washing his hands carefully, Wei Ran carefully untied the gauze on Ruan Qingcha's head and shoulders, helped her change the medicine and new dressing for the wound in a meticulous manner, and then gave her an injection.

She had just finished dealing with it, and the woman in black clothes and black trousers who followed him in also stared at him and said something.

Seeing Wei Ran looking at him, Li Youfu helped translate and said, "She asked you if you could help deal with him... our wounded."

"sure"

Wei Ran raised his head and glanced at the man who walked in from outside and interrogated him yesterday, and kept saying, "But I want to make it clear first that I am not capable of treating any wounds. In other words, some people I may

It's possible to save some people, but there are some people who I probably won't be able to save at all.

If I save you, you don’t need to thank me. Likewise, if I don’t save you, I hope you will be blamed on me.”

"Are there any other conditions?" the man who cross-examined him last night asked.

"certainly"

Wei Ran spread his hands and said, "I need enough medical equipment and medicine, at least the medical kit can be returned to me."

“And a camera”

Zach next to him reminded, "Sir, if you can, can you return our cameras to us?"

"I will think about it carefully"

The man responded noncommittally, then turned around and left the place. At the same time, he also said something.

Before he could go far, Li Youfu and the woman in black clothes and black trousers also helped Ruan Qingcha, who had just changed the dressing, and left. They also took away the dressing, gauze and the bamboo tube they had just filled with rice.

things.

The two people in the wooden house looked at each other. Wei Ran picked up the rough porcelain kettle by the wall and opened the lid to look at it. Then he picked up a broken bowl and poured a bowl of water into it.

"Wow"

With a small banging sound, two black hairpins ran out from the spout of the pot and fell into the coarse porcelain bowl.

After looking at each other with Zach, Wei Ran immediately picked up the two hairpins from the bowl. Zach also immediately dragged the shackles and chains, and went to the window to look out.

He separated one of the hairpins and tried to insert it into the keyhole. Wei Ran's face immediately smiled. He was now absolutely sure to pry open the padlock on the shackles!

"Victor" At this moment, Zach suddenly shouted softly.

After getting the signal, Wei Ran looked around, then immediately restored the hairpin in his hand to its original shape and stuffed it back into the spout.

Almost at the same time that he picked up the porcelain bowl, two guerrillas also walked into the wooden house. One of them was standing guard at the door with a gun in his hand, while the other took out the key and opened the link to the chain on the guard shackles.

padlock.

"Where are you taking me?"
