Tiedan and Xiaoman spent a lot of effort to move the large cabinet away, revealing a dark wooden board on the blue brick floor.
Three of the four people in the room were shocked.
Xie Tian said: "Open the wooden board. There is a tunnel below. Follow the tunnel and there is a cellar. Tiedan, go and get the wooden box next to the machine gun."
Tie Dan opened the wooden plank in response, and there was indeed a tunnel under the wooden plank, with steps leading down.
Tang Wan'er walked over curiously, lit the oil lamp and handed it to Tiedan who was about to go down the tunnel. She turned to Xie Tian and asked curiously: "I didn't even know there was a tunnel here. What's down there?"
Xie Tian chuckled: "It's just a cellar, left by the rich man before. I haven't got around to renovating it yet."
In these days of war and chaos, rich people are looking for ways to save their lives, and digging tunnels is one of the ways to save their lives.
Xie Tian inherited Xie Baoqing's memory, so he naturally knew the secret of this underground man.
Xie Baoqing was originally a thief and was familiar with all the ways in the world. After he bought the house, he easily found the cellar. However, the contents of the cellar had already been emptied by the rich man. It became the place where Xie Baoqing hid his treasures.
After being a bandit for so many years, Xie Baoqing's family background is amazing. Black Cloud Village is just something Xie Baoqing puts on the surface, this is Xie Baoqing's roots.
After a short time, Tiedan came back along the tunnel, his face glowing with excitement: "Godfather, I didn't expect you to hide so many good things here. Did we steal the mortar from the Japanese transport team last time?" That? I thought you sold it."
Xie Tian chuckled: "It's a waste of money. Can you sell good things casually? Come up quickly and move the cabinet back."
Tiedan smiled stupidly and handed the oil lamp and wooden box to Xiaoman and Tang Wan'er respectively, then jumped up the tunnel with his hands on the edge.
Tang Wan'er took the wooden box and it sank in her hands without opening the lid of the box. She probably guessed what was inside.
Sure enough, after Xie Tian took the wooden box and opened it, it was revealed that it was filled with gold bars and silver dollars. Now only gold bars and silver dollars are the hard currency. With this kind of family background, no matter where you go, you will be a wealthy family.
Xie Tian picked up a silver dollar and threw it to Tiedan: "Take it to buy paper and pen."
Tiedan caught the silver dollar and chuckled, grabbed a large handful of fried peanuts from the table, and said to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, come with me. When you come back, I will let you play with the shell gun for a while."
Xiaoman responded and ran with Tiedan with excitement on his face.
Xie Tian casually closed the wooden box and pushed the whole box to Tang Wan'er: "You can help me keep the rest. We will pull up the pole and throw out a lot of money. I'm afraid these two dollars won't last long. Wait for the team Once it’s done, I’ll think of ways to do more.”
When the team is gathering, people and horses need to be fed, and this expense alone costs a lot of money every day.
Tang Wan'er smiled at Xie Tian: "You have given me all your family's wealth, are you not afraid that I will take the money and run away?"
Xie Tian took Tang Wan'er's hand and looked directly into his eyes and said, "If you have a better place to go, I won't stop you. The money here belongs to you. If not, I think it's safer for you to stay with me for the time being. The little devils have arrived at our door. If you don’t drive them away, you won’t be able to survive anywhere. If you stay with me, at least no one will dare to bully you, no one."
Tang Wan'er's eyes were a little moist, and she looked at Xie Tian emotionally: "I think you seem to have changed. You no longer look like Xie Baoqing."
Xie Tian laughed and took back his hand: "People will always change. This time, Li Yunlong taught me how to be a human being."
Tang Wan'er looked at Xie Tian and asked worriedly: "Now that you are showing up in Dagu Town and recruiting troops with great fanfare, will Li Yunlong send someone to arrest you if he gets the news?"
In fact, even Tang Wan'er herself didn't notice that she was now worried about Xie Baoqing's safety.
Xie Tian smiled slightly: "Probably not. Li Yunlong destroyed Heiyun Village and killed the second master. Now his anger should be gone. As long as we raise the banner of resistance against Japan, he will not attack us if he is not impulsive."
"Why?" Tang Wan'er asked.
Xie Tianyi smiled and said: "Their policy is to unite all forces that can be united to fight against Japan. As long as we raise the anti-Japanese flag, if he attacks us again, his superiors will not spare him. Removal and investigation will be light. If not, they will all be shot."
Tang Wan'er said oh, and Xie Tian smiled slightly: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is Chu Yunfei. This man is very arrogant. This incident happened because we robbed his military supplies. Li Yunlong killed me Heiyun Village has given him a bad breath. If he knows that I am in Dagu Town now, I am afraid he will come and add insult to injury."
"Why don't we raise the anti-Japanese flag?" Tang Waner asked.
Xie Tian smiled bitterly: "They don't care what we do. If we are destroyed, he will probably write down his achievements in suppressing bandits in his credit book."
Tang Wan'er looked at Xie Tian with admiration: "You know so much."
Xie Tian smiled bitterly: "To survive in the cracks, you have to be careful at all times. By the way, can you dye cloth?"
Tang Wan'er smiled and said: "Our ancestors opened a dyeing workshop..."
Tang Wan'er suddenly closed her mouth and stopped talking midway through her words, and the smile on her face disappeared.
Xie Tian held Tang Wan'er's little hand distressedly: "So
y, shouldn’t bring up your sadness. "
Tang Waner told Xie Baoqing that all her family members were killed by the Japanese.
Tang Wan'er looked at Xie Tian in shock, as if she had discovered a new world: "What did you just say? So
y? You can also say E
glish? "
"Huh?" Xie Tian was stunned for a moment. He just said "so" out of habit.
y, but I never thought how shocking this word would be when it came out of Xie Baoqing's mouth.
What surprised him even more was that Tang Wan'er could also speak English.
Xie Tian scratched his head, forget it, just lie.
Xie Tian said awkwardly: "When I was wandering around in the world, I learned some things in my spare time. I will use them to deal with foreign devils."
Seeing Xie Tian's embarrassed look, Tang Waner chuckled: "Master, you really impressed me today. By the way, let's get down to business. What color do you want to dye the cloth? Are you planning to make it into military uniforms?"
It would be best if Tang Wan'er didn't ask further questions. Xie Tian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Yes, I'm going to dye a batch of camouflage cloth..."
Tang Wan'er's pretty little brows knitted into a knot: "What kind of cloth is camouflage cloth? I've never heard of it."
Xie Tian smiled and said: "I don't understand the specific process. The effect of the camouflage cloth after it comes out is that several flashy colors are mixed together for easy camouflage. Now that it is winter, just find a few colors that are suitable for winter wild scenery, such as white. Brown, black, if it’s summer, use some green, brown and other colors.”
Tang Wan'er nodded vigorously: "I understand, I'll give it a try and I should be able to dye it. Just use homespun as the fabric. It's strong, durable, and breathable."
Xie Tian smiled: "You are the expert on this, you decide."
At this time, Tiedan and Xiaoman came back talking and laughing with a roll of colored paper between their hands, each holding a few bunches of candied haws.
They were still children, and they were just a few bunches of candied haws, so Xie Tian didn't bother to blame Tie Dan for spending money indiscriminately. As a result, Tie Dan stuffed the candied haws to Tang Wan'er, took out the piece of candied haws and handed it to Xie Tian and said with a smile: "Godfather, now Everyone on the street knew that you had taken care of Ding Changgui. Xiaoman and I were very proud when we walked to the street. Many people greeted us. The red paper was given by the owner of the paper shop. There was no charge for anything, and the candied haws were also given by others. Sent……"
Xie Tian's face was straight: "You just accept it as a gift? What's the difference between that and a bandit?"
Tiedan, who was in high spirits, was stunned for a moment, looked at Xie Tian and said carefully: "Godfather, we are bandits to begin with."
Xie Tian's eyes widened: "It won't be the case from today on. Send the money back to others and talk to their bosses. When we buy things, we will follow the rules of business. One hand is money and the other is goods. If the boss doesn't accept the money, you will Don’t come back.”
Tang Waner lightly hit Xie Tian and scolded her, "You scared the child."
As she spoke, Tang Wan'er took the piece of ocean from Tiedan's hand, got off the kang, put her arms around their shoulders and walked out: "Come with your godmother, she will give you some change and you can send it back to others. You will be like this after you go." explain……"
Tang Wan'er didn't realize it herself. This was the first time she called herself godmother, and she said it so smoothly.
Xie Tian also had enough to eat and drink, stretched out and lifted his legs to get off the kang. He was really not used to sitting cross-legged on the fire kang. Fortunately, Xie Baoqing was used to it and his body didn't have any discomfort.
When Tang Wan'er came back, Xie Tian was writing slogans on the big cabinet, and several written slogans were already spread on the kang.
This was another surprise. Tang Wan'er thought Xie Tian would ask her to write slogans.
"It is the duty of every man to resist Japan and save the country."
"Thirty million compatriots unite and build the Great Wall of Steel with our flesh and blood."
"Chinese people don't fight Chinese people, unite and fight against the outside world."
"Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are."
"The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are still there, so why cherish this?"
…
As she read each sentence, Tang Wan'er's blood was ignited.
