After a long flight, when Wei Ran and Anfiya walked out of London Airport with their suitcases in hand, they immediately wrapped their windbreakers tightly in unison.

"The weather in this shitty place is as cold and gloomy as the hearts of British people." Wei Ran complained angrily as he looked up at the drizzling sky.

"Boss, should we go to the address of that store now, or should we find a place to settle down first?" Anfisa, who was holding an umbrella alone, asked while reaching out to stop the taxi.

"Let's get there first"

Wei Ran opened the trunk and put his luggage in and said, "After you send me to the place, you first go to find a hotel nearby."

"Don't you need to rent a car?" Anfisa once again confirmed the question she had asked before boarding the plane in Kazan.

"No need," Wei Ran said confidently, "You can even go back first after sending me to the place."

"Boss Aurora asked me to keep an eye on you." Anfisa got into the car and continued, "She is worried that you will be deceived into freeing electricity."

Waiting for Anfisa to report the address to the taxi driver in English with a Cockney accent, Weiran fiddled with her phone and asked, "What if I want to go without electricity?"

"My sister and I will help you hide it": Anfisa switched to Russian and said in a matter-of-fact tone without thinking.

"I will give you a bonus." Wei Ran smiled and drew a big cake for the other party.

"Thanks"

Anfisa said politely with a smile on her face. Although she and Anfiya usually had nothing to spend money on, and they received double wages from Wei Ran and Suisui respectively, they had long been dismissed.

A certain money-obsessed girl jumped into the eyes of money and became extremely enthusiastic about saving money - even though they never thought about what the saved money was used for.

The two reached a consensus and ended the topic following their common habit of never mentioning any privacy-related topics on public transportation.

In each other's silence, the taxi safely drove Weiran and Anfisa to a historic-looking street in Enfield, and finally stopped at an intersection.

"The store you want to go to is in that pedestrian street, on the left."

The taxi driver took the money from Anfisa Mines and said while giving change, "I'm sorry, cars are not allowed on that street during the day."

"It's good to have it here." Anfisa smiled and took the change, then opened the car door, held up the umbrella again, and took the suitcase from Weiran.

The two of them walked along the pedestrian street for almost ten minutes. Anfisa, who was holding an umbrella alone, slowed down a little and included the boss, who had been soaked in the rain, under the umbrella. He stopped and whispered, "The road

opposite."

Wei Ran casually looked up at the shop across the street, and smiled. Just like what he saw in the screenshot provided by Anfiya, this place had become a flower shop, and inside the floor-to-ceiling window, there was also a flower shop.

Filled with all kinds of flowers.

After a moment of observation, Wei Ran pushed the suitcase to Anfisa, took off Hassan's leather briefcase fixed in the suitcase and said, "We seemed to have passed by a hotel just now. Let's stay there. I'll finish my work for a while."

I called you."

"OK"

Before Anfisa could finish her words, she had already grabbed their suitcases and turned around in the direction they came from.

After waiting for a while, Wei Ran took his briefcase and crossed the street to open the glass door of the flower shop. Along with the sweet knocking of the wind chimes, a sense of warmth came along with the scent of flowers on the shop floor.

Glancing at the potted dragon boat flowers hanging around the bar, Wei Ran observed them leisurely.

The flower shop covers an area of ​​about 100 square meters. In addition to the flower stands filled with flowers around the wall, there are also several long tables in the middle. On these tables, there are also various patterns of wrapping paper and some such as

Tools such as pruning shears.

"Need help?" A middle-aged Asian woman who was busy at the long table greeted her gently.

"It would be best if you could speak Chinese," Wei Ran responded with a smile, "I'm not very good at English."

"Chinese?" the middle-aged woman asked in surprise. Although her Chinese had an accent that she didn't know where, she still spoke it well.

"right"

Weiran

Nodding, he pointed to a pot of dragon boat flower beside the bar and asked knowingly, "Is this a dragon boat flower? It's a national flower without electricity."

"Yes," the middle-aged woman said with a smile, "few people here know that it is the national flower that does not require electricity."

"So you are actually a free person?" Wei Ran asked.

Although she was surprised why this young man who broke into the flower shop but didn't look like he wanted to buy flowers would ask this question, the middle-aged woman still smiled and shook her head and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

"I'm sorry ma'am, I'm not actually here to buy anything."

While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already sat across from the middle-aged woman. Under the slightly wary gaze of the other woman, he opened his briefcase and took out a few printed photos and handed them to her.

"I'm here to see Mr. Guochang, the recipient of this letter."

Wei Ran pointed to the envelopes and the unique logo in the two photos, and then pointed to the red pattern on the floor-to-ceiling window next to the two of them, "I found information about the sale of this store more than ten years ago on the Internet.

On the sale information, I saw the same logo as on this envelope, so I found it here, ma'am."

"The Mr. Guochang you are looking for is my uncle."

The middle-aged woman didn't wait for Wei Ran to finish before she said, "He passed away in the 1980s."

"Sorry." Wei Ran arched his body apologetically.

"It doesn't matter." The middle-aged woman waved her hand, stood up, and poured Wei Ran a cup of hot tea with flowers floating in the air. She said with emotion, "This store used to be run by my uncle. At that time, it was still a jewelry store.

.”

"What's your... name?" Wei Ran asked tentatively.

"Excuse me, my surname is Zhou"

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Where...did you...find that letter from the free phone? What was written on it?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It was indeed found from Free Power, a place called Mo's Village."

Wei Ran nodded, "We haven't opened the letter yet. Originally, we planned to have Mr. Zhou open it himself, and we hoped that he could help us solve some historical mysteries."

"Mo's Village? Found it from Mo's Village?" The middle-aged woman asked in surprise, "Sagaing Province...Mansi Town, yes, Mansi Town, is it the Mo's Village in Mansi Town?"

"It is indeed there." Wei Ran nodded, looking at the other person expectantly, waiting for the woman who seemed to know something to give any useful clues.

Unexpectedly, she said after a slight hesitation, "I have heard the stories between my uncle and the expeditionary force since I was a child. The one he mentioned most was Mo's Village. Young man, what do you call it?"

"Weiran"

"If it's convenient for you, you can go home with me."

The middle-aged woman stood up as she spoke, "Although my uncle has passed away long ago, my father may know something."

"Of course it's convenient." Wei Ran stood up as he spoke and put away some photos on the table.

"Then come with me." Before he finished speaking, the flower shop owner had already put on his coat and opened the glass door with an umbrella.

When Wei Ran came out with her briefcase, she immediately locked the glass door and hung a sign saying it was temporarily closed.

Holding an umbrella and leading Wei Ran out of the pedestrian street, the two got into an old-looking Land Rover and drove straight out of the city.

"My home is in Epping, in the northeast corner of London."

Ms. Zhou, the owner of the flower shop, said apologetically while driving, "So the journey is a bit far, and it will probably take more than an hour."

"It doesn't matter, I have plenty of time." Wei Ran said politely, "It does disturb your business."

"It's okay." Ms. Zhou waved her hand nonchalantly, "Can you tell me how you found that letter?"

"certainly"

Wei Ran paused for a moment and briefly described the Chinese characters on the helmet and what Xia Shushi and II found in Mo's Village.

"Just for the straight characters on a helmet." Ms. Zhou obviously didn't understand the seriousness of Wei Ran and his friends.

Wei Ran smiled, "For the sake of those soldiers who have no way to go home."

Ms. Zhou was stunned and said subconsciously, "My uncle seemed to have said this often before. I was younger than you at that time."

Hearing this, Wei Ran was also stunned, and then sighed.

As the two chatted, time flew by quickly. By the time Ms. Zhou stepped on the brakes, there were already stretches of farmland surrounding her.

"This area in front is my family's farm." Ms. Zhou pointed to the house wrapped in farmland directly in front of the car, and then opened the car door.

Following the other party out of the carriage, Wei Ran tightened his windbreaker again, while not forgetting to observe the old-looking building in front of him.

Compared with this old house with a strong colonial farmer style, the glass greenhouse next to the house is obviously more eye-catching, and this glass greenhouse is even larger than the connected old house.

Although separated by glass and water mist, he could still clearly see that the glass house was filled with various flowers and tropical plants.

"My flowers are all grown there"

Seeing Wei Ran staring at the flower room, Ms. Zhou explained with a smile, and then led him into the door.

Before he could take off his windbreaker that was stained with water drops, Wei Ran saw a white-haired old man carrying a hoe walking out from the other side of the glass door connecting the greenhouse.

"Qixiang is back"

The white-haired old man put down his hoe and said hello, then asked with a smile, "How come I haven't seen this young man before?"

"Dad, this young man's name is Wei Ran."

After a brief introduction, Ms. Zhou, known as Qi Xiang, asked Wei Ran to sit down on the sofa by the fireplace and asked, "Where is my eldest brother?"

"It's in the study room," the old man said as he placed the hoe in a wooden box next to the glass door.
