Chapter Fifty-Nine: Unintentional Chances

"Tianliu, can you tell me about it? How do you know that the rich man's secret warehouse where the grain is hidden is under the ground in the front yard? What is the number of ways to pour water into the yard? Can you tell me about it? ”

Sitting on the steps in front of the main house in the front yard of the rich man's house, Mo Tianliu pinched a freshly baked white flour hard bun in one hand, and held a bowl of freshly boiled bud rice porridge in the other, eating it extremely sweet, but completely ignoring Sha Bangcui, who was sitting beside him pestering himself and asking endless questions.

Seeing that Mo Tianliu didn't care about himself at all, Sha Bangcui was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and even forgot to take a bite of the dustpan of white flour and hard buns that was resting beside him......

Turning his head to look at Sha Bangcui's anxious appearance, Mo Tianliu, who had enough appetite and had enough sales, stretched out his head towards Sha Bangcui and opened his mouth widely: "Pickles!" ”

Just a little stunned, Sha Bangcui hurriedly picked up a piece of pickle gnocchi from the dustpan, and sent it to Mo Tianliu's mouth with a flattering smile. Seeing Mo Tianliu chewing pickle gnocchi with taste, Sha Bangcui shouted at Mo Tianliu again: "Tianliu, just tell me about it?" ”

After taking a sip of bud rice noodle porridge and moistening his throat, Mo Tianliu, who had already eaten and drunk, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then leaned back on the steps: "Bang mallet, you said that the rich man in Qingle County who has a little bit of wealth, what is the point of being particular about hiding things?" ”

Shaking his head ignorantly, Sha Bangcui replied in a muffled voice: "How do I know this?" I'm not a rich man......"

Squinting his eyes, Mo Tianliu looked at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were carrying food bags in and out of a side room in the front yard, and said slowly: "In these years, there are more than a dozen rich people who have been plagued by bandits in Tieping Mountain. Seeing that he was going to lose his life, in the end, he couldn't leave a way to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster. There are those who take money from the beams of the house, and there are those who take out the food from the wall, although there are many tricks to hide things, but there is always a word - money and food are not separated! ”

"What do you mean? What money and food are not separated from you? ”

“...... It's hard work to talk to you! Money and food are always in the same place, which is where these rich men hide money and food, always in a place where he can see at a glance! Since the secret passage of the rich man when he fled for his life was in his bedroom, then the place where he hid the money and grain could not escape the way where the money and food could not leave his body. Look at the courtyard of the rich man, the front is high and the back is low, and the only one who can hide grain is the front yard. We searched all the houses in the front yard, but we didn't see that there were sandwich walls and dark rooms, so this dark warehouse for storing grain can only be underground......

"And what do you do by pouring water on the ground in the front yard? I saw that after you asked the big guy to pour water, he lowered his head and walked around the yard, and went straight to the side house. How do you know that the door is open in the side room where the grain is hidden? ”

“...... Stick, you said that your brain is not good, how can you not be good at farming? It hasn't rained these days, the ground is dry, and so much water has been splashed on it that it has to seep into the ground in the blink of an eye. But in order to prevent moisture, snakes, insects, rats and ants from spoiling the grain, the grain cellar hidden under the ground is all made of stones, and the water naturally cannot seep down! Walk all the way down where the water seeps slowly......"

Raising his finger and pointing in the direction of the side, Mo Tianliu stretched lazily and changed the topic to himself: "What about this person...... If you don't have good hands or feet, you are not afraid, but if you don't have good brains, you will have to suffer a loss for the rest of your life! So many people are crammed into a side room to go in and out of the house, and they can't do their work with labor and effort...... I said, you won't stand in two teams face to face and flowers? You don't have to move the place under your feet, and you can transport the grain out one by one? ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Jiashun's rough and loud voice came from behind Mo Tianliu: "This method is good!" Everyone followed the method that Tianliu said, and worked harder to move all the grain out of this granary before dark! ”

Yigulu jumped up from the stone steps, and Mo Tianliu greeted Li Jiashun and Li Ziqun who were standing on the stone steps and said with a smile: "Commander Li, the big boss, I just said it by the way......"

Stretched out his hand and patted Mo Tianliu's shoulder, Li Jiashun laughed loudly: "As soon as you say it, it is a way, and you have an idea as soon as you roll your eyes, Tianliu, your brain is really better than ordinary people!" A mallet, a dustpan of white flour and hard buns is enough for you to eat? It's not enough for you to tell Lao Feitou and ask him to make it for you again, and you'll be full! ”

Hehe smiled, Sha Bangcui stretched out his hand and pointed to the dustpan of white flour and hard bun resting beside him: "That's all...... That's enough...... I didn't do anything that worked, it was all ......."

Seeing Sha Bangcui's incoherent appearance, Mo Tianliu came to Li Jiashun with a smile, and deliberately raised his voice and shouted at Sha Bangcui: "Bang mallet, Commander Li said that you will be rewarded with a full meal, then you just have to eat openly, and if it is not enough, you will go to the room to find Lao Feitou." If he doesn't give it, then you can ask him - does Commander Li's words count or not, and does it work?! ”

Glancing at the group of chestnuts standing beside him, Li Jiashun laughed and said to Mo Tianliu: "Tianliu, are you worried that the machine gun I promised will not be able to get it?" Still holding a mallet as a talking introduction to talk about this matter? Okay, I have already told your captain that the machine gun belongs to your Qingle County Martial Arts Team, but you can't give more bullets, you have to find it yourself! ”

Hehe chuckled, Mo Tianliu salivated and said to the Li family: "Then I will thank Commander Li!" Where is the machine gun? I'm going to pick it up......."

"Is this still waiting for you to hold that machine gun? As soon as Gou Da got the news, he jumped high to find the comrades in the Ordnance Department...... Well, what is this shouting about? ”

Following the direction of Li Jiashun and the chestnut group's gaze, Mo Tianliu turned his head to look at the soldiers who were lined up in two teams and were quickly carrying food bags, and happened to see several soldiers carrying two large wooden boxes out of the side room, and suddenly his eyes lit up, pointing to the two big wooden boxes and shouting: "Copy the treasure!" Looking at the weight of these two large boxes, it must be the ocean hidden by the rich man in the grain cellar! ”

Striding down the steps, Li Jiashun and the others walked quickly to the two big wooden boxes, looking at the brass locks on the two big wooden boxes, Li Jiashun shouted without hesitation: "Smash the lock and take a look, see what treasure the rich man is hiding in the grain cellar!?" ”

Stretching out his hand and patting Sha Bangcui on the back, Mo Tianliu quickly responded to Li Jiashun's words: "You can't smash it, there is a mallet!" Stick mallet, get started! ”

With a sound of agreement, Sha Bangcui stretched out his fan-like chin and grasped the two brass locks. I didn't see how hard Sha Bangcui worked, but with a slight shake of his arm, the buckle on the wooden box had already caused Sha Bangcui to tear off the lock.

couldn't wait to bend down and lift the lids of the two large wooden boxes, Mo Tianliu just glanced at the contents of the big wooden boxes, and suddenly lost his spirit like a deflated ball, and straightened up: "I should still be the ocean hidden by the rich man...... It's been a long time, it's just some scattered ironware? Such a worthless thing, but it is also guilty of hiding in the grain cellar? How did the rich man figure this out? ”

Contrary to Mo Tianliu's listless appearance, Li Jiashun and the chestnut group standing next to the wooden box had bright eyes, and they were stunned for a while, before they both reached out and grabbed the scattered iron tools contained in the big wooden box, and each grabbed a strange-looking iron tool and played with it in their hands.

Looking at Li Jiashun and the chestnut group with a delightful look in confusion, Mo Tianliu bent down and grabbed a few iron tools from the wooden box and looked at them carefully, and then shouted as if he had suddenly realized: "These iron tools are ...... It's a gun part, right? ”

Snatching out a barrel from the wooden box again, which was not yet fully formed, the chestnut group nodded slightly: "Not only the parts of the gun, but also the parts of the spear!" Commander Li, I have seen several gunsmiths who can make short guns, and I have heard a lot. Gunsmith who could have made a spear...... That's a treasure, isn't it? ”

Nodding approvingly, Li Jiashun played with the gun parts in his hand and said: "Look at the traces of the new file on this part, these things should have just been made, and it is estimated that the gunsmith who can make a spear is now close to the He family!" Although our Southern Hebei Military Sub-district has an ordnance department, first, there is a shortage of people to repair guns, and secondly, there are few good people in this area. If we can find and keep this gunsmith, our armory department will have the appearance of being open......"

Looking at Li Jiashun and the group of chestnuts with a happy look on their faces a little inexplicably, Mo Tianliu casually threw the gun parts in his hand back into the wooden box: "Commander Li, the big boss, what is so strange about a gunsmith?" Not to mention other places, just in Qingle and Gongnan counties, the gunsmith I can name has a small twenty, and the pistol made looks like it is made by virtue of twenty sounds, but it is not like that at all, some guns are stumbling with bullets, and some guns can't hit a few bullets, and the barrel can be blown up......"

Looking at Mo Tianliu with interest, Li Jiashun abruptly interrupted Mo Tianliu's topic: "Tianliu, do you know all the gunsmiths in Qingle and Gongnan counties?" Do you know where they are? ”

Nodding subconsciously, Mo Tianliu replied: "These gunsmiths don't have a place to stay on weekdays, they go wherever someone looks for them to make guns, and it's a bit difficult to find them." But now it is the time when the wheat has just come down, and these gunsmiths do not farm the land themselves, so they can only use the money they usually earn to buy enough food for a year when the wheat has just come down and the grain is cheap! As long as we run to the villages with a lot of wheat, we will naturally find these gunsmiths! ”

"And the same is true of the gunsmith who made these two boxes of household goods?"

"Isn't that right? He Caizhu called a man-made gun, and it stands to reason that the gun is not made and people do not leave. But with these two boxes of gun parts in front of him, the gunsmith is not staying in the He family's house...... Either the place where this gunsmith made the gun was not in Hejia Daji, or the gunsmith had something urgent and left without waiting for the gun to be finished...... I'm not sure! ”

As soon as the words fell, Sha Bangcui, who was usually silent, suddenly picked up Mo Tianliu's words: "If you want to be accurate, then let's ask the rich man, don't you know everything?" ”
