There were six water rifles wrapped in oil paper in the coffin, and the remaining space was filled with piles of silver coins. Xiao Wuzi probably counted more than six thousand silver coins. This is not a paper note, but silver that jingles when struck! Although the Japanese forced the exchange of silver dollars and paper notes on a one-to-one basis, secretly this was no longer the case.
The two brothers were a little dumbfounded. It wasn't that they had never seen money before, but it was too heavy. Not counting the six guns, 6,000 silver dollars alone was equivalent to three to four hundred kilograms.
They prepared sacks and put the silver coins into two sacks. I simply didn't take those few sticks of water, covered the coffin again, and added the soil back.
Bring the horses over and let them carry the sacks. It's a bit difficult for the two horses, because carrying people is different from carrying money.
Back at the Guzi Temple, Xiaowuzi sent the rabbit over first and asked the two nuns to stew the rabbit. The two brothers carried the sack into the house and put it on the ground with a thud.
Xiaowuzi went out on horseback, and when he came back he had a large sledge behind him, which he bought at a nearby market.
There is a very old wooden box on the sledge. The box is covered with black paint and the corners are wrapped with copper sheets. Xiaowuzi saw someone selling furniture at the market and fell in love with it at first sight. This thing should have been very valuable and was used as a dowry for a wealthy family, but no one in this world recognized it, so Xiaowuzi spent a piece of it. I bought it with the money, which is just right for storing money.
The two brothers stayed another night at Guzi Temple. Instead of going to Shuangyang the next day, they drove their horses and sledges directly to Yantong Mountain because it was closer than returning to Xinjing and there was also a train station here, so they could go directly to Fengtian. They don't have to go back to Xinjing anymore.
Xiaowuzi wanted to find a place to hide the money first. He regretted digging out the money because it was difficult to carry it with him.
When they arrived near Yantong Mountain, they didn't go to the big car shop. Instead, they put on their police uniforms, found a village office, and went in. Chief Jia saw that they were all wearing police uniforms and hurriedly welcomed them out.
The elder's surname was Li, and the fifth son bribed him with two dollars and asked him to check out a small courtyard. He said that he was buying a retirement home for his father. The price was not an issue, as long as the terrain was good.
It's really good. I found it on the same day, but the price is a bit expensive.
A small independent courtyard with five rooms costs 500 yuan, which is the same price you can buy around Fengtian, Xinjing.
However, Xiaowuzi is not short of money. He wants to find a place to stay in this rural village so that he can have a place to stay in the future.
It's easy to do things if you have money. The next day, Li Jiazhang brought him the formalities. Xiao Wuzi couldn't be too scornful, so he immediately invited Lao Li to have a drink and gave him another ten yuan. This house was his own. Yes.
The two brothers entered the hospital and were satisfied with everything they looked at. They now have a home.
Xiao Wuzi said: "Brother, how about getting you a wife in this house?"
Erniu grinned for a long time, then sighed and said, "I miss my hometown in Shandong a little bit. I wonder if I will ever be able to go back in this life?"
Xiao Wuzi patted him on the shoulder and said to him solemnly: "When we finish the things at hand, I will accompany you to Guanli. I want to see what the Eighth Route Army you mentioned is like."
Erniu smiled and said, "Just look at me. I am the Eighth Route Army."
The two brothers first dug a hole in the yard and buried the box of silver coins, and then they were busy chopping firewood, carrying water, and cooking.
Er Niu actually knew how to cook. Xiao Wuzi had known him for such a long time, and this was the first time he knew that he cooked several vegetables, and the two brothers had a good meal.
Lying on the newly bought quilt, he was so comfortable that he didn't want to move. Xiaowuzi asked Erniu: "I will go to Xinjing again. Firstly, I will see if the farmer is okay, and secondly, I will inquire about the whereabouts of my relatives. Can you Are you here to look after the house or are you coming with me?"
In fact, Xiao Wuzi hoped that he would stay and look after the house, but Er Niu couldn't stay at all. When they heard that they were leaving, of course they left together.
Erniu said: "I came out with you to take care of you. It's good to have someone to discuss things with. If something happens to you, wouldn't there be someone to take care of you? You are good at everything, but you don't have a team. Awareness, you have to study harder."
Xiaowuzi didn't expect that there would be a time when he would be educated by Erniu.
The next day, they locked both the inside and outside doors, and said hello to Lao Li, saying they were going back to move, and asked Lao Li to take care of them.
Lao Li happily made two police friends, and he was able to talk to officials, so he agreed wholeheartedly.
The two brothers rode straight to Xinjing again.
Back in Xinjing, they changed their clothes again and went to see how Ji Hua was doing. Seeing that the door to his house was still locked, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel worried.
I went to find Wang Xinmin again, but this time I waited for him to get off work and stopped him at the door of his house.
Wang Xinmin told Xiao Wuzi a shocking news. Not only was Ji Hua not released, but he was also beaten to a terrible state.
Although the Japanese have no evidence to prove that Ji Hua murdered Tanaka, Lao Xu's accident on Sanma Road still implicated him. Ji Hua often went to Lao Xu's pub to drink. The Japanese do not need evidence. As long as you are suspected, torture is inevitable. of.
Ji Hua didn't do anything, but he was defeated. In order to get off the stage, the Japanese forced him to be accused of being a bandit.
Wang Xinmin heard that Ji Hua would be sent away to a bungalow in Harbin in a few days. They all knew internally that the place was a man-eating devil's cave, and no one who went in could come out.
Xiaowuzi also asked Wang Xinmin to inquire carefully about when Ji Hua was sent away, how and which way to go?
Wang Xinmin was a little surprised. He asked Xiao Wuzi: "Brother, what are you going to do? Are you going to kidnap Chief Ji? You are too courageous. Those Japanese can eat people without spitting out their bones?"
However, he saw that Xiao Wuzi didn't say anything and just gave him an affirmative look. Wang Xinmin gritted his teeth and said, "Count me in. I can't just watch Brother Ji disappear like this. I'm going to risk everything. The worst is to die together. Even if I die, I will have the honor to say that I am an anti-Japanese hero."
Xiao Wuzi didn't expect that Wang Xinmin was also a passionate young man. Maybe Ji Hua discovered this and dated him, and maybe he wanted to develop him.
Xiao Wuzi and Er Niu lived in Ji Hua's house because Wang Xinmin had the key here. Wang Xinmin came at noon the next day. It was really not in vain. He found out this morning that Ji Hua was detained in the Japanese Military Police. He would get up early tomorrow and set out. Instead of escorting him by train, he would be escorted by two trucks. A team of Japanese military police escorted him, because Ji Hua was not the only one being escorted.
Xiao Wuzi was quickly thinking about a plan, where to take action, how to take action, and what to do next. This is his advantage and the biggest difference between him and Er Niu. Xiao Wuzi has shown his ability to calculate since he was a child.
In the evening, Wang Xinmin came, wearing casual clothes and a box of cannons in his waist.
Xiaowuzi asked: "Brother Wang, is there anyone else at home? If we leave, we may not be able to come back?"
Wang Xinmin said: "Both my parents are gone, and I am the older brother now, so I am not afraid. Just go ahead and do it. You don't have to worry about me holding you back."
Xiaowuzi asked Wang Xinmin to get some grenades overnight, which might be needed tomorrow. Wang Xinmin asked Erniu to go with him, leaving Wuzi to think quietly in the room to see if there was anything else he hadn't thought of.
Xiao Wuzi was looking at a map. This was the atlas of Manchukuo he bought in a bookstore. He was looking for the most ideal location. Xinjing was surrounded by great plains, and the geography was very unideal. Finally, he saw Dehui County and went further. Songhua River in the north.
This is it. There are railway bridges and highway bridges on the Songhua River. They are not in the same place, and there are mountains around it. This is an ideal battlefield.
It's a pity that there are too few of them. If there were enough people, Xiao Wuzi would be sure to pull off a perfect ambush.
After a while, Erniu and the others came back. Wang Xinmin took him to the police station and stole a dozen grenades, which were wooden-handled grenades from Zhang Dashuai's arsenal.
This turned out to be something kept in the evidence room, so I picked the lock and took it out without any effort.
Xiaowuzi found a suitcase containing clothes at Ji Hua's house, put the grenades, the four box guns and bullets they seized in Shuangyang into the box, and stuffed it tightly with some clothes and food. After carrying it, he could still He picked them up and then checked the small pistols in their pockets.
The three of them set off overnight. They didn't ride horses because they didn't have enough time. They went to the train station instead.
It was already dark, and there seemed to be not many passenger cars. They did not go to the station to buy tickets, but walked along the railway, intending to board a freight train bound for Harbin.
The three of them walked a long way, and there were no homes on both sides of the railway. Only then did they hear the roar of the train in the distance. Erniu tied the box to his back with a cloth strap so that he could free his hands and step on it quickly. A speeding train.
The three of them were lying under the roadbed. When the train roared by, the three of them waited for the train to pass by and then started running with the train. Xiaowuzi was a little worried about Wang Xinmin, fearing that he would not be able to keep up. Unexpectedly, this boy was also a practicing master. , the skill is no worse than him and Er Niu. After a few quick steps and a slight jump, he grabbed the iron ladder on the truck and climbed up easily.
Xiao Wuzi and Er Niu were also unambiguous. They couldn't let the newcomer compare them to each other, so they jumped down one after another, grabbed and climbed onto the speeding train.
Winter has already entered. Although the light snow that fell two days ago has disappeared, the temperature is still very cold. This is again on a speeding train at night, which makes their faces turn red and their noses runny from the cold. Old man.
The car was filled with coal, so the three of them simply opened three pits and lay down in them. Then they took back the coal and buried themselves in it. This time, it was much warmer. Without the howling of the cold wind, the three of them almost fell asleep. past.
