"Kuroko, tell me honestly, where did all this money come from?" In the smoky kitchen, Tang Juan, who had neat and short hair, was chopping vegetables and asking Kuroko, who was busy lighting a fire, with a straight face. A full 300 yuan, when Tang Juan got the money, she could hardly restrain her violently beating heart. Tang Juan, who has been working for half a year, has not seen so much money, but the money she has seen is the boss's, and the 300 yuan in her pocket at the moment is her own.

"Eldest sister, I've told you several times, and the fifth brother asked me to give you all this money. If you don't believe me, don't you believe in the fifth brother? Otherwise, you just wait for the fifth brother to come back and ask him yourself. The aggrieved Heizi who was questioned replied to Tang Juan with a stiff neck, but looking closely at his eyes, he was glancing out of the door from time to time, obviously looking forward to Tang Cheng's appearance.

"Humph! Just ask, you think I don't dare to ask him? Kuroko's answer obviously did not satisfy Tang Juan, a cold snort came out of her nose, Tang Juan put down the kitchen knife in her hand, wiped her hands with her apron, and walked outside the kitchen. Oops!" Tang Juan, who had just walked to the door, was caught off guard, and was hit by Tang Cheng, who happened to come in from outside, and the heads of the two immediately collided together, and when they looked at Tang Juan again, tears of pain came out.

"Sister, why don't you look at it! Does it hurt? Tang Cheng, who was also red on his head, couldn't care about himself, so he went to see his sister Tang Juan's head first, but Tang Juan, who didn't want to be annoyed and angry, waved his hand and knocked him first. Well, it looks like you're fine, otherwise you wouldn't be so strong. Tang Cheng, who was knocked by Tang Juan, didn't dare to attack, so he could only rub his head with a sneer, and the expression of wanting to cry without tears made Tang Juan couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, it didn't really start fighting! Hearing Tang Juan's laughter, the sunspot who had been burning his head was secretly relieved. Sure enough, when Tang Juan spoke again, her tone was still missing the anger she had when she asked Heizi before, "You tell me, where did you get all the money you gave to Heizi?" You can't do those crooked things, or I won't be able to spare you!" Tang Cheng, who didn't dare to talk back to Tang Juan, nodded again and again like a worm, and was finally forced to swear by Tang Juan.

"Sister, I'm your brother, don't you know me? If you don't worry, when Uncle Ma sends medicine to his mother, you can ask him, I will send him some medicinal materials today!" As Tang Cheng spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and took the apron and kitchen knife in Tang Juan's hand, and pushed Tang Juan out of the kitchen. Tang Juan is only less than 2 years older than Tang Cheng, although she is a girl, her cooking skills are not as good as Tang Cheng's. Seeing that Tang Cheng took the initiative to take over the cooking, Tang Juan was also happy, so she happily returned to her room to hide the money.

Tang Juan left the kitchen, and the conversation between Tang Cheng and Heizi was much easier, "Fifth brother, Xiao Qi got the things back from Ma Ye, what is in that box?" Why is it so heavy?" As he spoke, Kuroko took out a key from his pocket and secretly handed it to Tang Cheng. "This is the key on the box, Ma Ye said, I want to hand it over to you with my own hands." Tang Cheng reached out and took the key, and casually put it in his trouser pocket, Ma Liuye's caution did not surprise Tang Cheng, in fact, if it was changed to Tang Cheng, he might be a little more cautious than Ma Liuye.

Before the meal was ready for Tang Cheng, the courtyard gate rang again, and two little girls with blond hair and blue eyes dressed like dolls jumped in first, followed by a middle-aged woman in a cheongsam and a simple young man like a strong calf. "Mom, it's the eldest brother, the eldest brother is cooking!" The two doll girls saw Tang Cheng standing at the door of the kitchen first, and rushed towards Tang Cheng with a cry of joy. When the middle-aged woman saw Tang Cheng, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and a smile appeared on her face.

As soon as there were many people, it seemed that the courtyard was lively, Tang Cheng squatted down, first held the two girls in his arms one by one, and then walked to the middle-aged woman with them in his arms. "Mom, you're late enough to come back today, it's getting dark this day!" The middle-aged woman in front of her is Tang Cheng's mother Ma Guixiang, in the past two months, Tang Cheng has been intentionally or unintentionally maintaining the distance between himself and Ma Guixiang, and I don't know if Ma Guixiang didn't notice the changes in Tang Cheng, or really didn't notice that Tang Cheng, who was no longer the same person before, had never been recognized by Ma Guixiang.

"Fifth brother, it's the one surnamed Tian again, if it weren't for him, we would have come back a long time ago." The young man who had been following Ma Guixiang interjected, and when Ma Guixiang wanted to stop it, Tang Cheng, who was standing opposite them, had already changed his face. Tang Cheng's father has only been dead for more than 2 months, and the deputy director of the Nanshi Police Department surnamed Tian has already pestered Ma Guixiang many times.

Tang Cheng's face looked terrifying at the moment, and Ma Guixiang hurriedly said to Tang Cheng, "Little Wu, forget it, it's a big deal that I won't go to the church." That person is the deputy director, I heard that the backer behind him is not small, and you Uncle Zhang is afraid that it is not easy to be strong, so let's just hide. Originally, Ma Guixiang didn't mind, but when she said this, Tang Cheng really had murderous intentions. In this era of the Great War, human life is cheaper than a dog, and that person is just the deputy director of the police station, and Tang Cheng really doesn't have that person in his eyes.

"Let's eat first, my eldest sister and I have been hungry for a long time." Seeing that Ma Guixiang's face was also not good, and his expression showed a strong worry, Tang Cheng had no choice but to force a smile, but after he turned around with the two children in his arms, there was a faint hint of fierceness in his eyes. Although he is not the real Tang Cheng, in the past two months of getting along, he really regards the people in this courtyard as his family, and Tang Cheng, who has a tough personality, will never allow anyone to hurt his family.

Tang Cheng was very tired after eating this meal, in order not to worry Ma Guixiang, Tang Cheng forced a laugh, although he couldn't fool the sunspots who were messing around on the street all day, but looking at Ma Guixiang's expression, he had obviously been coaxed by him. "Heizi, go and tell Brother Da Niu and them, keep an eye on the person surnamed Tian and find out the rules of his activities. I heard that he had an outer chamber outside, so I tried to follow him and see if I could find out where he kept it. ”

After eating, taking the opportunity of smoking in the courtyard, Tang Cheng whispered to Heizi, who didn't say anything, just nodded at Tang Cheng with a gloomy face. There are actually only two people in this family who are related to Ma Guixiang, Tang Juan and Tang Cheng, Heizi, Huzi and the pair of mixed-race little girls, all of whom are orphans picked up by Ma Guixiang from the street. If there is no Ma Guixiang, these orphans are either trafficked by human traffickers to other places, or they don't know when they will die in the black alley, compared to Tang Juan and Tang Cheng, they respect and attach themselves to Ma Guixiang more.

Ma Guixiang, who lives a very simple life, naturally won't know this, not to mention that Tang Cheng and Heizi even hid Tang Juan together, returned to Tang Cheng in his room, turned around and locked the door of the house, and couldn't wait to take out the wooden box that Xiao Qi took back from under his bed. Ma Ye, who was supposed to come to deliver the medicine at night, did not come to the door, and Tang Cheng, who was restless, did not go to find Ma Ye, but after Heizi went out, he couldn't wait to see the things that Ma Ye helped him get.

Heizi is right, this wooden box does have some weight, Tang Cheng opened the long wooden box, the first thing that caught his eye was two thin steel wires that were wound together, Tang Cheng looked at it carefully, but found that these two thin steel wires were actually made of multiple thinner steel wires. Tang Cheng, who was overjoyed, took out the steel wire from the wooden box, grabbed the rings at both ends of the steel wire and pulled it outward, but found that he couldn't pull it at all.

There were also some strange-shaped iron parts in the wooden box, and Tang Cheng, who was already a little impatient, directly poured all the things in the wooden box on the bed, and then looked for the things he wanted Ma Ye to customize. After a period of slightly jerky assembly, a small ** made of all-steel appeared in Tang Cheng's hand, whether it was the crossbow body, grip or crossbow arm, all of them were made of steel, and only the wire that replaced the crossbow string needed to be hung, and this **, which was not much bigger than a pistol, was even assembled.

A long and short crossbow arrow is also made of steel, but the appearance is different from the featherless arrow that Tang Cheng wants, Ma Ye has made a tail feather-like bulge at the tail of each steel crossbow arrow, I believe that such a crossbow arrow should fly farther and more accurately than the featherless arrow. Looking at the ** that had already been assembled and the heavy steel crossbow arrows, Tang Cheng could only say that he had found the right person, and Ma Ye's ancestor was the worship of the palace office.

In addition to this ** part and more than a dozen steel crossbow arrows in the wooden box, there is also a set of **** designed by Tang Cheng himself, several small tools wrapped in a piece of sheepskin, and Tang Cheng is overjoyed to see it. When I graduated from the police academy and went to the criminal police team for an internship, I had a special visit to an old criminal policeman and learned the ability to pick locks in this sliding door.

Hiding alone in the room for a while, Tang Cheng gradually calmed down, it is really good to be able to live another life, compared with the previous life of running around all day, Tang Cheng in this life just wants to live a simpler and freer life. On the premise of being able to take care of his family, Tang Cheng is also willing to do some useful things for the country and the nation, such as using his own travel benefits to help catch Japanese spies.
