Chapter 1249 Visiting the English Temple Fair(2/2)

After Suisui finished speaking, she immediately turned on the flashlight function of her phone, and then gently pulled down the pull-rope switch hanging from her head on the side of the stairs to turn off the lights inside.

When the two girls climbed up first, Wei Ran also climbed up. Standing on the deck of the buoy, he asked, "Mr. Carlos, can I see what's in that cabinet?"

"I'm afraid not," the black driver who sent them here spread his hands and replied after listening to Carlos's questions. "The key to the cabinet is in Mr. Henry's hand."

When Lu Xinda took the initiative to translate this to Wei Ran, who actually understood English, he changed the question again, "Then do you know about the original seller? Or do you know where the seller is now?"

Not surprisingly, after the question was translated, the black young man spread his hands again.

"In this case, we can always visit this farm, right?" Wei Ran changed the question again.

Fortunately, after the question was translated, the black young man finally nodded. After Wei Ran and the other three climbed down the ladder, they immediately enthusiastically led them to the two-story English-style building only 20 meters away from the barn.

Country wooden house.

"Let's see if there's anything valuable"

Before Wei Ran walked in, he whispered to Suisui in Russian, "This affects whether I want to take over this job or not."

"Leave it to me!" Suisui stretched out her little hand and made an OK gesture, and her big eyes looked around to touch the valuable objects.

Unfortunately, after wandering from the first floor to the second floor, and then from the second floor to the attic in the name of looking for clues, the only thing that could be considered valuable was a large porcelain plate that looked like an antique.

Unfortunately, it only looks like it.

Even a girl like Suisui, who has little interest in history and cultural relics, can tell at a glance that this large plate with gorgeous color patterns is full of rich Baga elements, and it is really comparable to traditional Chinese porcelain antiques.

Can't catch it.

After walking around for a while, the two looked at each other rather disappointedly. Wei Ran finally turned to look at Carlos and said bluntly, "Mr. Carlos, I really can't see anything else in this farm except that one."

There are other valuable things besides the rescue buoy, so even if I take this job, I’m afraid I won’t get the ideal expected benefits, so..."

"No, no, no, don't refuse in a hurry."

Carlos waved his hand quickly before Wei Ran finished speaking, "Haven't you not seen the two iron cabinets in the barn yet? Why don't we wait here for one more day and wait for Mr. Henry to come back and open the iron cabinets to take a look inside?

before making a decision?"

After looking at Suisui next to him, Wei Ran hesitated for a moment and looked up at the sun, which was not as bright as the light in the refrigerator. Finally, he made a decision and said, "Well, why don't we go find Mr. Henry now?"

How about it?"

"Of course, of course."

Carlos nodded immediately, changed into English and greeted the black boy, and then drove them to the so-called military fan event.

"So Mr. Henry has bought this farm now?" Wei Ran asked as the car started to drive.

"The farm has been purchased, only the tin can has not been paid for." Carlos replied frankly.

Hearing this, Wei Ran and Suisui each hummed in their hearts in tacit agreement.

It was obvious that Mr. Henry, whom he had not yet met, was willing to offer such a price. It was clear that he had already calculated that there was nothing valuable that could be taken away from the farm.

Or rather, the shrewd Henry had already placed the valuable items he could take away in the two locked iron cabinets in the barn.

Obviously, although everyone in the car except Lu Xinda is probably aware of this dirty little idea, it is obviously not the time to scratch through this layer of wiping paper.

After chatting all the way around the world, the car drove for about 20 kilometers, and ice-cold freezing rain began to fall in the sky. At the same time, a large number of people appeared on the slope directly in front, as if they had traveled through time and space.

World War II military vehicles.

On this slightly muddy grassland, there are sidecar motorcycles and half-track motorcycles equipped by the Germans in World War II, as well as larger half-track trucks and almost useless American two-and-a-half-ton ten-wheel GMCs, as well as even worse ones.

Willys, Jeep and so on. The sharp-eyed Weihan even saw a Geese 5 truck produced by the Soviet Union during World War II.

The Germans were not able to land in England, but these vehicles did... Weiran looked at the military vehicles equipped by Germans in World War II outside and muttered with a strange expression. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, if he took out the metal book at this time, what would happen?

The nib of a quill pen must be worn bald?

In his wild thoughts, the commercial vehicle they were traveling in drove towards the beech tree next to them.

Different from the various classic cars on the grass just now, rolling around in the freezing rain and mud like a mechanical Peppa Pig, although there are also many World War II vehicles parked here, there are still large or small props on the sides of each car.

There are various small tents with a military style.

Not only that, most of these tents had fires burning inside or outside. He even saw more than one dining car equipped by Germans during World War II. These dining cars were not just decorations. They were basically cooking various kinds of food for the sanitary ware.

A meal that is both familiar and off-putting.

When the car stopped, there was a ticket gate like a sentry right in front of it. On the wooden sentry stand, there was even a middle-aged man with a big belly wearing a British military uniform, carrying an Enfield rifle on his back, and walking leisurely on the lever.

Zaidi was smoking a pipe.

As the door opened, the middle-aged soldier with a big belly and a pipe in his mouth greeted enthusiastically, "Motor vehicles produced after 1945 are prohibited from entering. The admission fee is 5 pounds per person. For motor vehicles produced before 1945, every tire touching the ground

Tickets are also £5.”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Lu Xinda translated this sentence into Chinese, Wei Ran said with a smile, "Ask him how much he charges for a tracked military vehicle."

When Lu Xinda, who was being held by Suisui, translated this sentence, the fat man immediately replied enthusiastically, "Beautiful lady, each road wheel is 5 pounds."

"This is discriminating against German tracked vehicles," Wei Ran waited for the girl to translate before he couldn't help complaining.

The girl Lu Xinda didn't know what she was thinking. She translated this sentence without even thinking about it. As expected, the fat man laughed and admitted it flatly, "You are right.

, this is the war reparations paid for the Germans, but don’t worry, this money will be used to improve the lives of the children in the orphanage.”

The goodwill behind hiding the war in this way won everyone's favor. After the black driver helped everyone pay for the tickets, the fat man immediately took out the corresponding tickets from the bullet casing collection bag on his waist and distributed them to

Everyone - that is the cricket whistle used during the Normandy landing. Of course, it can be used as an admission ticket, so it is undoubtedly a replica.

With this interesting ticket in hand, the group stepped on the mud, followed the black young man, and walked into the market-like venue. Under the guidance of the phone, they looked for his boss, Mr. Henry.

.

For the people following them, Suisui and Lu Xinda were particularly lucky that they were wearing long boots that could cover their calves, just like Wei Ran was lucky that he was wearing a pair of hiking boots that he left in the castle last year.

But for Carlos, who is no longer young and is accustomed to living in a clean city, along the way, the almost reflective leather shoes he originally wiped have been kissed off by the mud that is stickier than chewing gum.

, if Wei Ran and the black boy hadn't supported him, he would have fallen down countless times.

So before finding the legendary Mr. Henry, Carlos backed down and said, "Victor, why don't you follow this guy..."

At this point, Carlos switched to English again and asked the black man, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Robert," replied the skinny black guy with white teeth showing when he smiled, "Robert Hardy."

"Okay Robert"

Carlos lifted his leather shoes with difficulty, rubbed them on the grass next to him and said, "Robert, my joints are so painful that I'm going to hold a protest march, so I have to get back to the car, and you will take the lead next time."

Take Victor to see Henry."

After speaking, he switched to German again and conveyed this idea to Wei Ran.

"Let Robert take you back first," Wei Ran said with a smile, "We will wait here for Robert."

"Alright"

Carlos knew very well that when you get old, you need to listen to advice, so he simply agreed to Wei Ran's suggestion and let Robert help him towards the ticket gate, which was only 20 meters away.

While waiting, Wei Ran and Suisui took Lu Xinda around, who was curious about everything.

It's interesting to say that in the tents on both sides, in addition to various military vehicles, tents and various potato-fried fish that are either free or low-cost but somewhat cookie-cutter, there are also many interesting stalls and competitions.

The most popular among them are stalls selling various small items related to World War II, as well as some paid entertainment items such as air rifle shooting.

To put it simply, this is purely a themed "comic exhibition" or military temple fair for middle-aged and elderly military fans.

Everyone was waiting. Sui Sui simply spent 5 pounds to play with an air gun and successfully won a whistle made of bullet casings - even Wei Ran suspected that it was the man who looked to be seventy years old.

The old man, the stall owner, let it go.

When Lu Xinda also succeeded in using her sweet words to receive a bullet shell whistle from the old man setting up the stall, Robert finally came over and led the three of them deeper and deeper into the "temple fair".

Walking.

Finally, when Robert, who was leading the way, stopped, Weiyan also noticed the Matador truck equipped by the British in World War II parked on the roadside.

This vehicle is a rare six-wheeled version. On one side of it, the vehicle body is used as a tie-down point, and a large military green tent is supported.

Not only was there a firewood stove and several kerosene lamps hanging in this tent, but there was also a fat man who weighed at least two hundred pounds and was about sixty years old, but was wearing a World War II British Army uniform.

Wearing headphones, he controlled a MK3 No. 18 individual radio station equipped by the British Army in World War II and skillfully sent telegrams.

If nothing else, this physique alone can be regarded as a faithful restoration of the British soldiers in World War II, and the extremely rare Delisle silenced carbine hanging on the tent pole beside him also hints that this fat man is a rich man.

people.

On the wood stove next to him, there was a steaming kettle, a large plate of food wrapped tightly in tinfoil, and it was hard to see what it was but it had an attractive aroma, plus a few open

Remove the lid and heat the can.

On the table with the radio station, there is also a plate of exquisite snacks that do not match the surroundings, and a beautiful bone china tea set that should not appear here.

"This is Mr. Henry"

The black young man Robert introduced in English, and then took advantage of Lucinda's translation time to greet the big fat man familiarly, "Father Henry, your guest Mr. Victor has arrived."

"Hold on"

Henry waved enthusiastically towards the three Wei Ran people, and at the same time, the speed of his newspaper shooting suddenly increased a lot.
