At midnight during a thunderstorm, Wei Ran and Tao Canhua sent the Ding family cousins ​​to an alley next to Sanguanger and handed them over to Cao Yuba who was hiding in a small boat.

After briefly describing the cause and effect, Wei Ran and Tao Canhua did not dare to delay, so they picked up Chen Pike and Xu Keqin who were waiting here. The four of them rowed a small boat together and returned to the love letter as quickly as possible.

apartment.

"Done?"

Wei Ran had just gotten off the boat, and Mei Xiang, who was waiting at the door holding an umbrella, asked.

“It’s all done”

Wei Ran responded and followed the other person into the hall on the first floor. Immediately afterwards, he saw Yang Ma, Uncle Meng, Jasmine and Qiushi, surrounded by three steaming people in the hall on the first floor.

With a large copper basin and two oil lamps, they were busy plucking the feathers and cleaning the internal organs of the slaughtered pigeons and hens.

"Today we celebrate the New Year ahead of schedule," Mei Xiang said with a smile, "These pigeons and hens are enough for everyone to have a good meal."

"Can't"

Yang's mother responded with a smile, "These children should have eaten some good supplements long ago. Look at how thin they all look like."

"Let's stew all these in a big pot later, and then cut some big white radishes. The taste, hey! It's amazing!"

Before Uncle Meng finished speaking, Chen Xiuyu and Xu Keqin, who were following Wei Ran and Tao Canhua, swallowed in unison.

"Remember to clean up all the chicken and pigeon feathers later," Mei Xiang reminded with a smile.

"Don't worry, miss," replied Jasmine, who was busy working with her. "When it's all done, we'll pour oil on it and burn it. The chicken intestines and pigeon intestines will also be minced and buried in the flower pot."

"Go take a shower and change clothes. The bathrooms on the first and second floors have hot water ready."

Meixiang looked back at Wei Ran and others who were all soaked through, and while walking upstairs she ordered, "Jasmine, take all their clothes and burn them together later. Qiushi, go upstairs and make a pot of tea."

.”

"Hey!" Jasmine and Qiushi each responded.

"Cousin, Canhua, wait and find me on the third floor." After Meixiang finished speaking, she followed Qiushi upstairs.

"Go and wash up," Wei Ran said to the three young men behind him.

Chen Gouyu looked down at his soaked clothes and shoes and said proactively, "I'll wash them on the first floor."

"I'll wash it on the first floor too," Xu Keqin followed.

Hearing this, Wei Ran and Tao Canhua looked at each other, took off their soaked cloth shoes and threw them into the iron bucket for garbage, and went up to the second floor barefoot.

Wei Ran went into a bathroom on the second floor and washed his whole body thoroughly, then sat in the bathtub that had been filled with hot water and soaked in it.

He didn't leave the bathroom until a young man knocked on the door and brought a set of clean clothes. After Tao Canhua also came out, the two went up to the third floor together.

"Tell me what you encountered?"

Mei Xiang invited the two of them to sit down in the living room facing the terrace, crossing her legs and asking with interest. At the same time, Andy also poured Wei Ran and Tao Canhua each a cup of hot tea.

"You tell me"

Wei Ran gave this opportunity to Tao Canhua, who seemed to be in a bad mood since he came back, hoping that the other party could vent his negative emotions after the murder through narration - even though this was not the first time he had committed a murder.

“Then let’s talk about Chanhua.”

Andy seemed to have guessed Wei Ran's intention, and joked in a joking tone, "My cousin can't tell the truth with his mouth. I don't believe that even three-thirds of things can be said to be ten thousand. If we really want to say it, it has to be us."

Canhua, this kid is honest and reliable."

"Little aunt, I, I am not a child anymore."

Tao Canhua said awkwardly. Obviously, this young man with a slightly dull personality must have been teased by Andy, a monster.

"Then just tell me," Meixiang, who seemed to have realized something, also urged with a smile.

"When we get there..."

Tao Canhua organized some language to retell the "committing process" of the two people in an almost anecdotal manner.

When she heard that Tao Canhua also killed someone, Meixiang and Andy looked at each other calmly, and then the two smart women also gave a series of compliments at the right time.

"What are you going to do with the little girls you brought back?"

As soon as they finished talking about the crime process, Wei Ran, who had been listening just now, also took the initiative to change the topic.

"Let them stay"

Mei Xiang sighed, "In this year of war and chaos, there is such a big flood. Even if we let them go, no matter how much money we give them, they may not be able to survive. What's more, if they can't be saved, someone will see them at Ding Rongfu's place."

If you let them out, they will easily get into trouble."

"Our food may not be enough to eat," Andy reminded in a low voice, "just now you gave away such a big bag of rice."

“Just buy it when it’s gone”

Meixiang didn't seem to be worried about food. Instead, she looked at Wei Ran and asked half seriously and half jokingly, "There are a lot of gold bars and silver coins you asked Keqin to bring back. Even that bucket of tobacco paste is worth it."

It’s a lot of money, I’ll give it to you later.”

"Cousin, please stop joking"

Wei Ran waved his hand, "Find a way to destroy the cigarette paste, and use the rest for food first. I don't really have any expenses other than two packs of cigarettes a day, so I have to find a place to hide them."

"Okay, then just pretend that your cousin asked you to borrow it." Meixiang was particularly happy, "When this current hurdle is over, I will return it to you with interest."

"If a family doesn't talk to each other, then forget about the interest and there's no point in not paying it back." Wei Ran said and stood up, "Cousin, wait for me."

"Good" Mei Xiang didn't know what Wei Ran was going to do, but she didn't take the initiative to ask.

He went downstairs in the dark and went into the darkroom on the second floor. After closing the door, Wei Ran took out the food box and took out all the gold bars and silver coins inside, leaving only a few pieces of gold on his body.

Carrying the towel, I returned to the second floor.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Putting all these yellow and white things in front of Mei Xiang, Wei Ran sat down again, lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "Lend these to my cousin, I will keep them."

Just buy cigarettes for a few yuan and smoke."

"I, I have quite a few over there, I'm going to get them right away!" Tao Canhua had already stood up and ran downstairs before he finished speaking.

Mei Xiang glanced at Wei Ran in surprise, then glanced at Tao Canhua with a smile, who had already run to the stairs. Finally, she looked at Andy and nodded happily and said, "Okay, then these are also mine.

I asked you to borrow it."

"You see we are back too. Did my cousin talk about your two small pistols?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Mei Xiang smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll tell you later."

"No rush," Wei Ran responded nonchalantly, but in fact he was particularly curious about this seemingly insignificant matter.

They just said these two words, Tao Canhua also ran up holding a wooden box.

"Auntie, all the money I saved is here."

As Tao Canhua spoke, he had already opened the wooden box, which was as big as a shoe box, and showed it without any reservation of half-full silver coins.

"Canhua has saved a lot of money?" Andy said, reaching out and taking out a silver dollar from the box. It bounced into the air with a "ding" sound, and then he took it in his hand.

"I usually don't have much money to spend." Tao Canhua grinned stupidly, "My aunt has paid me all the salary here in the past two years."

"Be careful I won't pay you back again," Mei Xiang said jokingly.

"If you don't pay it back, you won't pay it back," Tao Canhua replied stupidly, "I've learned a lot of skills in the past two years, so it's not a loss."

"Don't worry, your aunt won't lose you."

Andy made a promise for Mei Xiang, and then threw the silver dollar in his hand into the wooden box, "Okay, Canhua, go downstairs and rest early. Get up early tomorrow. There is pigeon soup to drink."

"Okay" Tao Canhua responded simply, stood up and walked to the second floor.

"This young man is much more honest than my cousin."

Andy teased with a smile, and then without waiting for Wei Ran to say anything, he stood up with a yawn and said while walking towards the bedroom, "Okay, you brothers and sisters, let's talk slowly."

Watching Andy walk into the bedroom, Mei Xiang also stood up with a kerosene lamp, motioned to Wei Ran to help carry the money on the table, and led him into the study on the third floor.

"Close the door"

While Mei Xiang was talking, she had already taken out a key, walked to the solid wood cabinet that occupied an entire wall on one side of the study, and opened a locked cabinet door. When Wei Ran locked the door, Mei Xiang had already got in.

Went into the cupboard.

Seeing this, Wei Ran followed curiously and got in, only to find that inside the cabinet was an extremely steep wooden staircase less than one meter wide!

How many secret passages are there in this small shabby building...

Wei Ran muttered to himself, followed Mei Xiang, turned sideways, stepped on the narrow stairs, passed through a narrow wooden door and climbed up to the attic.

Compared with later generations, the attic area of ​​this small building at this time was much smaller due to the existence of the terrace on the third floor, and there was nothing else in the attic. They were all camphor wood boxes with copper corners.

Putting the kerosene lamp on a box casually, Meixiang opened a camphor wood box. Inside, there were helmets of different drama characters and a small box with a lock.

"Put it in here," Mei Xiang said, opening the box of the trumpet.

After looking at the gold bars, silver coins and jewelry in a cloth pocket, Wei Ran put the "loan" in his hand indifferently.

After closing the lids of the two boxes, Mei Xiang sat directly on the lids of the boxes, then took out the small pistol and said, "This pistol was given to me by Mr. Shang Xiaoyun."

"That famous actress in the capital?" Wei Ran raised his eyebrows.
