Chapter 847 The Japanese were driven away, but the war did not(1/2)
After taking a nap in the guest room arranged by Ms. Zhou, when Wei Ran was woken up by a knock on the door and went downstairs, Xia Shushi was sitting on the sofa next to the fireplace, talking to Zhou Guochang's brother and son.
What are they talking about.
On the tea table among the three generations of old, middle and young people, in addition to the wooden box filled with relics that Wei Ran had seen before and the photo album placed on the box, there was also a transparent file bag.
"Wei Ran, you didn't expect me to come here so soon, did you?" Xia Shushi saw Wei Ran coming downstairs and immediately greeted him warmly.
After glancing at the other person's clothes without having time to cut off the tags, Wei Ran smiled and sat next to him, "You guys came in such a hurry, and you didn't even say hello?"
"The second thought that you must have found the recipient, so he arranged for me to come over quickly."
Xia Shushi pointed to the transparent file bag placed on the tea table, "Mr. Zhou insists on waiting for you to come down before opening it."
"Old sir, you don't have to be like this." Wei Ran bowed respectfully and apologized, "We are just postmen delivering letters, so we are not qualified..."
"It's okay, do you want to eat something first? I just saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up."
"No, let's get down to business first." Wei Ran said politely. He was also curious about what the letter left by Monk Sehao said.
Hearing this, Mr. Zhou took out a multifunctional knife produced by the Japanese from the wooden box, took the envelope from Zhou Guochang's son Zhou Qiguang, opened it carefully, and pulled out a light yellow piece of paper filled with "
Letter paper with calligraphy.
"Qi Guang, after all, this letter is written to your father, so you should read it first. After reading it, if you think you can show it to us, just read it." Mr. Zhou put the multifunctional knife back into the wooden box and said.
"Okay." Zhou Qiguang unfolded the letter and scanned it quickly, then cleared his throat and read:
Brother Guochang
By the time you read this letter, the civil war has probably stopped. Are you and Brother Shouzheng's comrades also preparing to go home?
When I wrote this letter, I already had a premonition that I was about to die. I chose to die in this abandoned temple, thinking that I might have a chance to meet Brother Shouzheng, have a glass of wine together, and guess the numbers.
Back to business, I have placed some of the important relics of Squad Leader Liang and Brother Shouzheng in the attic of my bedroom in my secular home, where it is ventilated and dry and will not rust or rot.
The rest of the things that are not afraid of decay are placed in the cave in the back mountain, along with the remains of Squad Leader Liang and Brother Shouzheng. When you send them back to China, take them with you.
In addition, there is still a lot of gold bars and silver coins you left behind, which can be used for relocation expenses. I have left enough property for my distant nephew and his family, so they don’t need to take too much care of them.
Secondly, in the past few days, I have been dreaming every night. In the savage mountain in my dream, there are always lonely souls and withered bones lamenting and crying. So after sending off Squad Leader Liang, Brother Shouzheng and others, please move me to that cave and let me
Brother Dai Shouzheng and Squad Leader Liang accompanied them.
Finally, there is no need to tell my distant nephew the location of the cave and the details of his death. After the relocation, the entrance to the cave can be sealed directly, and there is no need to visit him in the future.
Foolish monk Sehaoliu
"That's all." Zhou Qiguang sighed, "When I was young, I still had some memories of Master Sehao."
"Your aunt's daughter, your eldest cousin, is the child of Master Sehao." Mr. Zhou said in an astonishing way, without any intention of avoiding Wei Ran and Xia Shushi.
"What?!" Zhou Qiguang was stunned, and Wei Ran's heart also trembled.
"Why have I never heard of this?" Zhou Qixiang, who was listening on the side, asked in surprise.
Mr. Zhou picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Why are these old almanacs being told to you for no reason? Just listen to this. Your eldest cousin doesn't know."
"I definitely won't tell." Zhou Qiguang was the first to promise, and Zhou Qixiang also nodded quickly.
"Old man, the cave mentioned in the letter just now..." Xia Shushi helped change the topic and asked tentatively, "Do you know where the cave is?"
"this…"
Mr. Zhou shook his head with regret, "Young man, it's a good thing that you want to send those expeditionary force soldiers home, but I still
I really don’t know where that cave is.”
Seeing Wei Ran and Xia Shushi looking at each other with doubts on their faces, Mr. Zhou took the initiative to explain, "That cave, only my brother, Master Sehao, and the elder brother Shouzheng I mentioned know where it is."
"What should we do?" Xia Shushi subconsciously asked Wei Ran.
"Are you still going back to Mo's Village, where there is no electricity?" Mr. Zhou asked.
"We are going back," Xia Shushi said before Wei Ran could speak, "We are preparing this time..."
"In that case, let's rest here for a day."
Mr. Zhou didn't wait for Xia Shushi to finish speaking before he said, "I'll make arrangements to have Qi Guang take you back and help you find the location of the cave."
"Do you have any clues?" Xia Shushi asked in surprise.
"No"
Mr. Zhou shook his head, "I only know that the cave they went to is in Dangtongnong Mountain behind Mo's Village, but that mountain is a virgin forest. I want to find that mountain from there..."
"Old sir" Wei Ran, who had been looking through the photo album just now, interrupted the other party rather impolitely before he finished speaking.
"What's wrong?"
Mr. Zhou was very well-behaved and did not get angry because of Wei Ran's rudeness. Both his tone and expression remained as kind as ever.
"If you can let me temporarily borrow this photo album so that I can study it, maybe I can find that cave." Wei Ran looked at the other person and said seriously.
"How are you going to find it?" Mr. Zhou asked with a hint of examination.
“My geography is pretty good”
While speaking, Wei Ran opened the photo album, pointed to one of the photos and said, "This photo can capture the cave, two mountains in the distance, and the shadow of a stone. Through this information, and
With information like this on other photos, I might be able to find the cave."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How confident are you?" Zhou Qiguang asked proactively.
"It's better than sitting here, isn't it?" Wei Ran asked, spreading his hands.
Hearing this, Zhou Qiguang and Mr. Zhou looked at each other, finally nodded and said, "Okay, but..."
"I'm not taking this stuff out of the house"
Wei Ran smiled and said, "Also, can you let me take a closer look at the contents of this box? Maybe I can find some clues."
"Let's go to my study." As Zhou Qiguang spoke, he had already taken the initiative to help Wei Ran pick up the wooden box on the tea table.
"I'm causing you trouble," Wei Ran said politely as he stood up, picked up his briefcase and followed.
"I'll give you a hand." Before Xia Shushi could finish his words, he stood up and chased after him, walking into the study with Wei Ran.
After a while, Zhou Qiguang returned to the living room alone and sat next to Mr. Zhou.
"Has your cousin replied to the letter?" Mr. Zhou asked while pouring tea.
"I'm back"
Zhou Qiguang lowered his voice slightly, "It seems that he was contacted through official channels, and the level seems to be quite high. But it seems that the person on the surface is not Wei Ran, but a young man named Qin Shu."
"What? A beast?"
"Qinxu, the garrison that guards the border." Zhou Qiguang explained at the side.
"What kind of bad name is this?" Mr. Zhou was stunned when he said this, "You can't be a descendant of Brother Shouzheng, right?"
“Doesn’t seem to be the case”
Zhou Qiguang replied, "His Qin is the Qin of Qin Shihuang. And I heard from my cousin that there seemed to be media reporters with official station logos in Mo's Village. They seemed to be preparing to shoot a documentary."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhou thought for a while and said, "In that case, let's see what help we can provide. In addition, let your cousin say hello to the gold mine bosses around you and don't embarrass them."
"What if that Wei Ran really finds that cave..."
"It would be a good thing if I could find it."
Mr. Zhou said without thinking, "Your father left suddenly and didn't even leave a route. Otherwise, it would be the turn of a few idiots to do it?"
"Then what if..."
"Where did you get so many chances?"
Mr. Zhou sighed, "This matter is ours
We haven't done a good job in these years, so as long as there is no problem with the whereabouts of those little guys, let your cousin help. If it succeeds in the end, prepare a thank-you gift for each of those young guys. It doesn't need to be too expensive, but
My intention must have arrived."
"Yes" Zhou Qiguang said respectfully.
"besides"
Mr. Zhou emphatically reminded, "Remind your cousin, the rafters in the first place will die first, so just try your best to do what you can in secret. Don't make it known to everyone, let alone make a fuss about this kind of thing. Those of them
People cannot see the light, let alone get involved."
"Understood, I will talk to my cousin about these things later." Zhou Qiguang agreed respectfully.
"What is the origin of that young man named Wei Ran?" Mr. Zhou finally asked.
"It seems to be a historian from Maozi's side who has been in the news before." Zhou Qiguang thought for a while and added, "Probably a Chinese."
"On the way to the electricity-free place, try to make it as comfortable as possible." Mr. Zhou said as he walked towards the greenhouse with his hands behind his back, "But don't be too exaggerated."
"Don't worry, I will make arrangements." Zhou Qiguang promised again.
"Go ahead. Remember to give your father a stick of incense before you leave."
After saying that, Mr. Zhou picked up the hoe again and walked through the glass door into the warm and humid glass flower room.
