I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Chapter 236: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land

With little Ali on guard, Wei Miao lay comfortably and collected gold, feeling as happy as a god.

But it was very lively outside.

Wei Ada was quite surprised when he saw Brother Cai coming over with various gifts.

In just a few days, Brother Cai came twice.

Then he thought of the chicken bone, and a rare look of guilt appeared on his face.

"Brother Wei, I was passing by the alley on my way to do something, and I thought Brother Miao was going out and coming home, so I came to take a look."

General Wei A welcomed him in warmly, and Aunt Wu served him hot tea and dried fruits, which was the standard for treating distinguished guests.

In the main room, Brother Cai looked around and only saw the little boy following the servants. "Brother Miao is not at home?"

Wei Ada handed Brother Cai a cigarette with both hands, and then said:

"She came back a few days ago and left home again in a hurry. She must have gone to help Mr. Lu with some errands."

Brother Cai felt quite disappointed after hearing this.

Thinking about his boss's instructions, he exchanged a few words of greeting and prepared to go to Lu Pingsheng's house to block him.

When Wei Ada saw him about to leave, he quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Cai, wait a minute."

Brother Cai looked at Wei Ada with a little curiosity as he turned around and entered the room, and came out in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Cai, this is what you left at my house last time."

Brother Cai looked at a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, then looked at the thing wrapped in brown paper and his mouth twitched.

"this?"

Wei Ada is an honest man who has rarely told a lie in his life. At this moment, his cheeks flushed as he said:

"Brother Cai, what else do you need?"

Brother Cai didn't know why he was nervous, but thinking that he was about to go to Wei Miao, he took the thing from him.

"Brother Wei, thank you."

He stuffed the things into his pockets, bowed to Wei Ada, and turned away.

Wei Ada, feeling guilty, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Chrysanthemum Lane.

Lu Pingsheng looked at the two students in the attic of Grandma Cui's house, and his expression changed slightly.

"Mr. Lu, we don't know what to do. These are the people Lijuan saved. After we found out they were communists, Cuiping and I were worried every day..."

The reason why Cui Liping failed to gain a place in the gang was because he was timid and valued his life.

But in the middle of the night, my sister released the two arrested people and told them to protect the people. . .

After seeing Mr. Lu being released these days, I thought the matter should be over, but the two students seemed frightened and were unwilling to leave.

Lu Pingsheng looked at the two young men. Except for their bad mental state, everything else was fine.

He was not in the alley on the night of the accident, and had been looking for the remaining two children since then.

I really didn't expect that Cui Lijuan would hide her at home. This would also explain why she was taken away in the middle of the night.

"Are you communists?" Lu Pingsheng asked.

One of the older ones shook his head firmly and said sincerely:

"we are not."

Lu Pingsheng's face showed no expression, and he continued to ask:

"Now, whether it is or not, you can't stay in Shen City anymore."

Lu Pingsheng met the two people's clear eyes, and his heart was calm.

In the past two years, he has already become a mature agent.

Not only these two students, but everyone in the house had to leave.

This secret plan to pave the way for sulfa penicillin was basically abandoned.

"Stay here for a few more days. Once the train station is unsealed, you can go home."

One of the students burst into tears.

Lu Pingsheng took out twenty French francs from his pocket and handed them to Cui Liping, saying:

"Although I don't know why Lijuan saved them, the two of them rented my house after all, so this can be considered their living expenses."

Cui Liping waved his hands repeatedly, "Mr. Lu, we can't have it."

Lu Pingsheng put the money in his hand, turned around and went downstairs without hesitation. He couldn't have anything to do with this matter anymore.

As soon as Lu Pingsheng got home, he saw Brother Cai at the door.

Not only was he holding things in his hands, but he also had a lot of things placed at his feet, looking quite wealthy.

When Brother Cai heard the noise, he turned around and gave Lu Pingsheng a pockmarked smile.

"Mr. Lu, I heard from Brother Wei that Ah Miao is at Nong's house. I am so sorry to come here."

Lu Pingsheng opened the gate with the key and raised his eyebrows.

"I sent her out to collect a bronze antique."

Brother Cai put the things in his hand on the table in the yard, and after listening to it, he complimented with some emotion:

"Everyone that Mr. Lu brings up can be independent."

Lu Pingsheng had heard from Wei Miao that this Brother Cai wanted to continue the sulfa business, and he could roughly guess the purpose of his visit.

But he still politely invited him to sit down, picked up the kettle to make tea, and said casually:

"Brother, you don't come to the temple for no reason. What are you going to do?"

Brother Cai waited until Lu Pingsheng finished pouring the tea before he respectfully said, "I was entrusted by someone to treat Brother Miao to a meal."

He originally wanted to say that he wanted to drink, but when he remembered that Wei Miao said her family didn't allow her to drink, he quickly changed his words.

Lu Pingsheng smiled and said, "That's unfortunate. She's out and we don't know when she'll be back."

As he finished speaking, it was obvious that Brother Shoucai was a little anxious.

Brother Cai stabilized the smile on his face and said, "That's really unfortunate."

------------

In the middle of the night, Wei Miao heard the Japanese man with an Osaka accent coming in from the old place again.

"You are too cautious. We should have caught more."

Maybe it was because he was familiar with it, the person on the roof was not as nervous as before.

"Hirata-kun, instead of complaining, why don't you move a few more pieces?"

The Japanese soldier named Hirata was muttering to himself as another twenty minutes passed.

When the people on the roof urged him to get out quickly, he said regretfully:

"You can only come once tomorrow night at most. My dear Fortune, I am heartbroken to miss you like this."

When the carriage was quiet again, Wei Miao waited for a moment until he heard Ali's meow before coming out of the box.

She needs to spend some time tonight looking for the relics that the old monk mentioned.

The Japanese people value Buddhism, so extremely important things like relics must be placed in more important places.

Wei Miao decided to look for the locked boxes first.

She thought for a moment, and suddenly looked at Ali squatting on the treasure chest. Thinking of the enamel watch it brought home last time, she had an idea.

But she herself had only seen it in a book, so how could she describe the appearance of the relic to a cat?

Wei Miao searched around in his body, and then took out the chicken bone that Ali had brought back to the prison from his bag.

Ahri's eyes glowed in the dark as she sniffed the chicken bone, and her "meow" sound was filled with a hint of doubt.

Wei Miao had no choice. She couldn't burn herself.

Ahri has received a lot of spiritual nourishment from her in the past few days and has become much smarter. She wonders if the person in front of her is hungry.

He quickly ran towards the hole under the car.

It was changed back by Wei Miao and thrown on a pile of boxes. The meaning was obvious: he wanted to search for bones in these three carriages.

Ahri: . . .

—————————Supplementary chapters—————————

After Ali went to smell the box, Wei Miao continued to swallow the gold comfortably.

If she just worked hard to swallow two more boxes, she would be able to swallow through the boxes.

After all, she had emptied all the boxes at the top, and Mr. Hirata who was coming from Osaka tomorrow night would be faced with empty boxes.

After all, this guy doesn't look very smart. What if he finds out that the box is empty and starts screaming?

Wei Miao had never thought that one day he would be faced with tons of gold and would be unable to handle it. This would be an absolute shame for a money-eating beast.

Awooo awooo~~~

Chrysanthemum Lane.

Lu Pingsheng looked at the man with glasses in front of him. He was so frightened that he lost control of his expression.

"Mr. Lu, do you know me?" Wang Dongting seemed rough in his heart, but he was actually careful.

Lu Pingsheng lowered his eyes, "Mr. Wang forgot, I saw him in prison a few days ago."

Wang Dongting knew that he didn't tell the truth, but he was the one who was desperate now and he was the one who needed help.

"I'm leaving Shen City, and I want to meet the Wei family boy before I leave."

Wang Dongting did not beat around the bush.

Lu Pingsheng was curious, "She is just a little girl, what have you seen her do?"

Wang Dongting pushed his glasses and said self-deprecatingly:

"Let's be frank. Mr. Lu should know my identity. After all, my head is worth a million."

Lu Pingsheng never thought that this person would be so direct. Isn't he afraid that he would expose him?

As if he could see what Lu Pingsheng was thinking, Wang Dongting grinned and said:

"Mr. Lu doesn't look like someone who is short of money. Instead, he looks more like someone who cherishes his life."

Lu Pingsheng ignored his threat and said, "Ah Miao was sent by me to collect a very important antique. I don't know whether he is at the destination or on the way."

Wang Dongting picked up the tea on the table and drank it, "Mr. Lu underestimates our Axe Gang."

After listening to him confess his identity, Lu Pingsheng had a better understanding of this tough Axe Gang leader.

If the history he learned was correct, this person should have died in an assassination by the Military Control Commission half a month later.

"Mr. Wang, are you planning to go north or south?" Lu Pingsheng asked.

Wang Dongting looked coldly at the young man who asked the question, "Mr. Lu knows a lot?"

Lu Pingsheng was speechless. Didn’t you say you wanted to leave Shen City?

You definitely can't go back to your hometown, so the only options left are to go north or south.

Going north probably meant joining the Communist Party, and going south, this legendary man died in an assassination in the south.

Thinking of this, Lu Pingsheng decided to save this hero.

"Ah Miao is in the ancient city in the northwest. There is an ancient tomb that has been dug up there. The things that have come out show that it might be the mausoleum of the First Emperor. I can't leave right now, so I asked him to go take a look."

Lu Pingsheng was not lying. During this period of time, the tomb robbers did dig up many ancient tombs in the ancient city.

In order to sell the items, everyone claimed that what they dug up came from the tomb of the First Emperor.

Wang Dongting lowered his eyes, "We didn't find the ticket information of the kid's departure."

Lu Pingsheng chuckled, "Of course I can't find out. The train station has been closed for three days. There are no trains leaving."

Wang Dongting cleared his throat. He had been thinking about killing that little bastard Hirata recently and had forgotten about this matter.

"The morning after Ah Miao was released from prison, I asked someone to drive her to Jinling, where she took the train." Lu Pingsheng decided to continue this lie.

"When will she be back?" Wang Dongting did not comment.

Lu Pingsheng spread his hands and said, "I'll ask her next time she calls."

After seeing off Wang Dongting and Brother Cai, Lu Pingsheng closed the door. He didn't know what this person would plan to do.

If possible, he hoped that this person who could go north would surely be recorded in history books for his sincerity and bravery.

Unfortunately, he was a greedy antique dealer who was close to foreigners and friendly to the Japanese.

Lu Pingsheng stood up and slowly cleared the tea on the table, wondering whether the little boy Wei Miao was safe now.

Wei Miao was naturally safe and happy. When the sun was about to set, Ali made a slight meow.

Wei Miao woke up yawning on a pile of boxes, his little face flushed and his eyes as bright as the brightest stars in the sky.

No wonder Xu Ayu always asked them to eat more in the past, saying that eating more would help them grow taller and stronger.

She curled her lips at Wei Ran, who was a head taller than her. She obviously ate more, so why was this boy still growing faster than her?

She must be undernourished.

Thinking of this, Wei Miao placed his little hand on one of the boxes, and after a moment he revealed a satisfied expression like a little animal.

Ali took the opportunity to pull her trouser legs and pulled her towards the front carriage.

Wei Miao has been here for three days and three nights, and spent most of the time in this place full of gold.

She had only been to the other two carriages when she was looking for the relics, but there were so many boxes that they were packed so closely that only a small space was left in the middle.

That is to say, she is thin and flexible, able to climb, and she just opened it with the hope of giving it a try.

Wei Miao stared at Ali. If the bones it found were in the middle part of these boxes, she really would be powerless to do anything.

Wei Miao couldn't swallow the jewelry, calligraphy and paintings. If she couldn't swallow them, she couldn't move the empty boxes like the gold. She was a weak kid and there was really no way she could move them.

While Wei Miao was still daydreaming, Ahri jumped onto the top box.

"Meow~"

Ahri called out.

Wei Miao was curious. After eating and drinking, she was full of energy and followed him up.

In order to protect the empire's finances, the curtains of this train were drawn, but the afterglow of the setting sun still penetrated the not-so-thick curtains and shone on the red lacquered box.

Wei Miao looked at the lock on the box, took out a thin wire from his pocket, and opened the copper lock in two or three strokes.

Ali jumped on Wei Miao's small shoulder, and looked forward to the box being opened with her.

The military police outside the car began to change shifts, and their chattering in Japanese was full of complaints and speculations about the car.

Wei Miao looked at the things in the box, his little brows furrowed tightly.

Ali lay on the box and stared at the contents of the bottle with great interest.

Wei Miao ignored the various organs in the bottle and picked up a thick stack of documents next to it.

The number "731" on the document appeared in her sight. Wei Miao pondered for a moment and then opened the contents.

Even if she is not a real human being, even if she was once a lion that ate raw meat and drank blood, even if she was born in this chaotic world where human life is worthless.

She was also shocked by the various experimental data above.

She read ancient books and learned about various cruel methods of torturing people in history. She also consulted Wu Ziyang about the Ten Cruel Tortures of the Qing Dynasty.

But the texts and photos before her, the experimental data and reports, and the various human organs in the boxes all made her feel that there was something inherently evil about human beings.

Wei Miao felt that some people were not even as good as the hyenas she met on the grassland.
