"Heizi, tell me honestly, where did you get all this money?" In the smoke-filled kitchen, Tang Juan, a woman with short and capable hair, cut vegetables and asked Heizi with a straight face, who was busy lighting the fire. It's a total of 300 yuan.
Money, when Tang Juan got the money, she could hardly restrain her beating heart. It was not that Tang Juan, who had been working for half a year, had never seen so much money, but the money she had seen belonged to the boss.
The 300 yuan in my pocket at this moment belongs to my family.
"Sister, I have told you several times that the fifth brother asked me to give you this money. If you don't believe me, don't you still believe the fifth brother? Otherwise, you can wait until the fifth brother comes back.
Just go and ask him yourself." Heizi, who looked aggrieved when being questioned, answered Tang Juan with his neck stiffened, but if you look closely at his eyes, he was glancing out of the door from time to time, obviously looking forward to Tang Cheng.
Appear.
"Hmph! Just ask. Do you think I dare not ask him?" Heizi's answer obviously did not satisfy Tang Juan. She let out a cold snort from her nose. Tang Juan put down the kitchen knife in her hand, wiped her hands with her apron, and walked towards the kitchen.
Walking outside. "Oh!" Tang Juan, who had just reached the door, was caught off guard and was bumped into by Tang Cheng who happened to come in from the outside. Their heads immediately hit each other. Looking at Tang Juan again, tears of pain came to her eyes.
Out.
"Sister, why don't you look more closely! Does it hurt?" Tang Cheng, who also had a patch of red on his forehead, couldn't care less about himself, so he looked at his sister Tang Juan's head first, but Tang Juan, who didn't want to get angry, waved her hand.
First, he gave him a hard knock. "Well, it seems you're fine, otherwise you wouldn't be so energetic." Tang Cheng, who was hit hard by Tang Juan, didn't dare to get angry, so he could only smile with a smile on his face.
Rubbing her head, her expression of wanting to cry without tears made Tang Juan couldn't help but laugh.
Fortunately, fortunately, there was no real fight! Hearing Tang Juan's laughter, Heizi, who had been sulking, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, when Tang Juan spoke again, her tone was still missing the same tone as before.
The anger when asking Heizi, "Tell me, where did you get the money you gave Heizi? You can't do those crooked things, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!" She didn't dare to talk to Tang Juan.
Tang Cheng, who talked back, nodded like a yes-man, and was finally forced to swear by Tang Juan.
"Sister, I'm your brother, don't you know me well? Don't worry, the money is absolutely clean and honest. I earned it openly. If you don't worry, wait until the time when the dismounted uncle delivers medicine to my mother.
, you can ask him, I sent him some medicinal materials today!" As Tang Cheng spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and took the apron and kitchen knife from Tang Juan's hand, and pushed Tang Juan out of the kitchen. Tang Juan was only the elder
Tang Cheng is less than 2 years old. Although she is a girl, her cooking skills are not as good as Tang Cheng. Seeing that Tang Cheng took over the cooking task, Tang Juan was also happy, so she happily returned to her room to hide those things.
money.
Tang Juan left the kitchen, and the conversation between Tang Cheng and Heizi became much easier, "Fifth brother, Xiaoqi got something back from Master Ma. What is in that box? Why is it so heavy!"
As he spoke, Heizi took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Tang Cheng secretly. "This is the key on the box. Mr. Ma said that he wanted me to give it to you personally." Tang Cheng reached out and took the key.
He casually put it into his trouser pocket. Ma Liuye's caution did not go beyond Tang Cheng's expectations. In fact, if it were Tang Cheng, he might have been a bit more cautious than Ma Liuye.
Before the meal in Tangcheng was ready, the courtyard door rang again. Two little girls with blond hair and blue eyes dressed like dolls jumped in first, followed by a middle-aged woman wearing a cheongsam and a strong calf.
He is a simple and honest boy like a child. "Mom, it's the eldest brother. The eldest brother is cooking!" The two doll girls first saw Tang Cheng standing at the door of the kitchen, and then they shouted in joy and rushed towards Tang Cheng. The middle-aged woman saw
Tang Cheng also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
When there were more people, the courtyard became lively. Tang Cheng knelt down and held the two girls in his arms, then held them and walked to the middle-aged woman. "Mom, you guys came back very late today.
Yes, it’s already dark!” The middle-aged woman in front of her is Tang Cheng’s mother Ma Guixiang. In the past two months, Tang Cheng has been keeping the distance between herself and Ma Guixiang intentionally or unintentionally, and she doesn’t know why.
Ma Guixiang didn't notice the changes in Tang Cheng, or she really didn't notice that Tang Cheng was no longer the same person as before, but Ma Guixiang never noticed it.
"Fifth brother, it's the man named 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 interrupted. When Ma Guixiang wanted to stop him, Tang Cheng, who was standing opposite them, had already
His expression changed. It had only been more than two months since Tang Cheng's father passed away. The deputy director of Nan City Police Station named Tian had already pestered Ma Guixiang many times. If someone from the Military Intelligence Department hadn't said hello, maybe that person named Tian
has already come to your door.
Tang Cheng's face looked scary at the moment, and Ma Guixiang hurriedly said to Tang Cheng, "Xiao Wu, forget it, the worst I can do is not go to church. That person is the deputy director, and I heard that the backer behind him is quite powerful, you
I'm afraid it's not easy for Uncle Zhang to come forward, so let's just stay hidden." Originally, it was okay that Ma Guixiang didn't mind, but when she said this, Tang Cheng really became murderous. This war has brought an era to which
, human life is worth less than a dog, that person is just the deputy director of the police station, Tangcheng really doesn’t take that person seriously.
"Let's eat first. My eldest sister and I have been hungry for a long time." Seeing that Ma Guixiang's expression was also not good, and her expression was even more worried, Tang Cheng could only force a smile, but when he held the two
After the child turned around, there was a hint of sternness in his eyes. Although he was not a real Tangcheng, in the past two months of getting along with him, he really regarded the people in this yard as his family and had a tough personality.
Tangcheng 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 smile. Although he could not deceive Heizi who had been fooling around on the street all day, looking at Ma Guixiang's expression, it was obvious that he had deceived him.
"Heizi, go tell Brother Daniu and the others to keep an eye on the man named Tian and find out his activity patterns. I heard that he keeps an outdoor room outside. Try to follow him and see if you can find his.
Where to keep it in the outer room?"
After dinner, Tang Cheng took the opportunity to smoke in the yard and told Heizi in a low voice. The latter didn't say anything, but nodded to Tang Cheng with a gloomy look. This family is related to Ma Guixiang by blood.
There are only two Tang Juan and Tang Cheng, Heizi, Huzi and the pair of mixed-race little girls. They are all orphans picked up by Ma Guixiang from the street. Without Ma Guixiang, these orphans would have been sold to other places by human traffickers.
Heizi and the others respect and are more attached to Ma Guixiang than Tang Juan and Tang Cheng because they don't know which day they will die in a dark alley.
Ma Guixiang, who lived a very simple life, naturally would not know this, not to mention that Tang Cheng and Heizi both hid it from even Tang Juan. When Tang Cheng returned to his room, he turned around and locked the door, and couldn't wait to get out of his room.
Under the bed, he took out the wooden box that Xiao Qi had brought back. Mr. Ma, who was supposed to deliver medicine in the evening, did not come to the door. Tang Cheng, who was restless, did not go to find Mr. Ma either. However, after Heizi went out, he couldn't wait to see Mr. Ma's gang.
Things I made myself.
Heizi was right. This wooden box did have some weight. Tang Cheng opened the long wooden box and the first thing he saw was two thin steel wires entwined together. Tang Cheng looked carefully and found that these two wires looked thin.
The steel wire was actually made of multiple strands of 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 wire and pulled outwards, but found that he couldn't pull it at all.
There were also some strange-shaped small iron parts in the wooden box. Tang Cheng, who was already a little impatient, dumped all the contents in the wooden box on the bed, and then looked for the things he wanted to customize for Mr. Ma. For a while, he felt a little confused.
After some awkward assembly, a small gun made of all steel appeared in Tang Cheng's hands. The crossbow body, handle and crossbow arm were all made of steel. It only needed to be hung with steel wires to replace the crossbow strings. This
The gun, which is not much bigger than a pistol, is already assembled.
A bunch of long and short crossbow arrows are also made of steel, but they look different from the featherless arrows that Tangcheng wants. Mr. Ma has made a tail feather-like protrusion on the tail of each steel crossbow arrow. I believe that such a crossbow arrow
It should fly farther and more accurately than a featherless arrow. Looking at the half-assembled gun and the heavy steel crossbow, Tang Cheng could only say that he had found the right person. Ma Ye's ancestor was from the manufacturing office in the palace.
worship.
In addition to the weapon parts and a dozen steel crossbow arrows, there was also a set of weapons designed by Tang Cheng himself in the wooden box. Several small tools were wrapped in a piece of sheepskin. Tang Cheng was very excited to see them.
When I graduated from the police academy and went to the criminal police team as an intern, I met an old criminal police officer and learned the art of sliding doors and locks. With these special tools, I could pick up this craft again.
After hiding in the room and having fun for a while, Tang Cheng gradually calmed down. It was really good to be able to live another life. Compared with running around all day long in the previous life, Tang Cheng in this life just wanted to live a simpler life.
Be more free. On the premise of being able to take good care of his family, Tang Cheng is also willing to do something useful to the country and nation, such as using his time-travel benefits to help catch Japanese spies. (To be continued)
