"Hey! Stutterer, why did you hit me?" came the Russian's voice.
Wei Aiguo returned as soon as he heard the sound.
The stutterer is still fighting the Russians; the Russians really can't beat the stutterer.
The people here are implicitly led by stutterers, and even when a Russian is beaten, no one intervenes.
Wei Aiguo kicked the stutterer to the ground, "Who gave you the guts to hit my brother?"
"He...he talks too much!" The stutterer became timid; the ugly man's eyes were terrifying.
Wei Aiguo grabbed the stutterer and stomped on him. The stutterer was in unbearable pain.
It turned out that Wang Zhi noticed something was off about the Russians, so he went to ask the stutterer. He told him about the children. Wang Zhi, worried that the stutterer wouldn't keep secrets, suspected it was related to human trafficking. Being cautious, Wang Zhi not only locked them up here, but also left the stutterer, who usually ran errands for him, here as well.
They can only be opened the door when they return after finishing their business.
"If you don't want me to kill you, you'd better behave yourself." Wei Aiguo didn't want to waste any more words; he needed to find a way out as soon as possible.
They should have smuggled the cultural relics out around dark; Deng Haichao was probably with the goods.
Wei Aiguo was worried. The child was being sent away tonight; whether the child lived or died didn't matter anymore. He was genuinely afraid they would kill the child to save themselves trouble.
The warehouse reeked of traditional Chinese medicine. Wei Aiguo opened the package and, sure enough, it contained Chinese medicine.
The warehouse was large, with thick brick walls throughout. The steel bars on the windows were so thick that they couldn't be pried open by hand.
If we want to get out, we have to find a way through the door.
Wei Aiguo kicked the door twice, but it didn't budge.
Is it impossible to get out?
If Wei Aiguo can't get out, Deng Haichao is doomed.
That thin boy with a bright smile.
Wei Aiguo is furious and about to go crazy; this feeling of helplessness is unbearable.
The Russian had never seen his second brother so enraged, and he stammered timidly, "Second brother! They've finished their business, they'll come and release us!"
Wei Aiguo glanced at Maozi. The kid wasn't bad; he was also quite sincere.
During the body search, Wei Aiguo's bag was thrown on the ground, and the Russians quickly picked it up.
He didn't understand what Wei Aiguo was thinking.
Getting angry now won't help; we still need to figure out a solution.
Looking at the packets of traditional Chinese medicine laid out, Wei Aiguo squeezed each packet with his hands, trying to find out which herbs he could use.
In fact, Wei Aiguo also thought it was unrealistic. Could he possibly set fire to the door with Chinese medicine?
They'd choke to death!
The sturdiest things in this warehouse are probably these wooden frames. But the frames aren't thick enough.
"Second Brother, what are you looking for? I'll help you," Maozi asked.
"I'm not looking for anything." Wei Aiguo didn't even know what he was looking for. He slumped against the wall, dejected.
Being impatient won't help. This warehouse is really huge; we hadn't even reached the end yet. Wei Aiguo got up and walked into the warehouse.
There were several shelves inside, and the Chinese medicines on them were clearly well-packaged, suggesting they were either quite expensive or special.
The label reads "Sulfur!"
Wei Aiguo quickly searched, but it wasn't on this shelf, so he walked to the far end. "Saltpeter!" There really was saltpeter.
Sulfur and saltpeter are both materials used in gunpowder making and traditional Chinese medicine. The quantity here is small, but sufficient.
When Xiaoyan advised him to study, she wrote in a letter that knowledge is power, and knowledge comes from books.
Take gunpowder, for example. The name is so familiar, but do you know how it's made? What are the principles behind it?
By constantly learning and enriching oneself, these things can be learned.
One part nitrate, two parts sulfur, and seven parts carbon wood.
Wei Aiguo didn't know how at the time, but there were people in the army who did. He specifically asked them and learned quite a bit. He also looked up some related information in books.
Wei Aiguo snatched his cloth bag from the Russian. Among the random things Old Yu had given him was charcoal powder.
Russians smoke, and they always have matches in their pockets…
Nobody knows what Wei Guo was doing, fiddling around like that. He looked so fierce just now that everyone except Maozi kept their distance from him.
Wei Aiguo was busy, but hope was burning in his heart.
His greatest stroke of luck in life was probably marrying Xiaoyan…
…
Being seen as the luckiest woman by her man makes her very happy today.
Old Liao came to see her.
He stood on campus, smiling as he looked at her, but there was also surprise in his eyes.
"You didn't expect I was pregnant, did you?" Song Yan asked her.
…
Who was looking for Song Yan today?
The library was quiet, and everyone was speaking softly. But several students nearby could still hear them.
The people near the window all looked out at the same time.
Song Yan was just called out; someone was looking for him.
Song Yan was talking to an elderly man with gray hair.
Intellectuals exude that kind of charm from their very bones, and in recent years, Lao Liao has also taken very good care of his health.
This vigorous and resolute old man naturally commands respect.
Xia Juntao was stunned for a long time.
Xia Juntao was a sent-down youth who went on to university. Before going to the countryside, he was from Beijing. Now he has strong organizational skills in class, and his classmates respect him as class monitor. He's also good-looking, and his English is the best in the class.
I heard that his father was also a university professor, and his job is now being reinstated.
He's 25 this year, a bit old, but he's never been married, so he's not afraid of anything.
Su Rui is dead, the Su family is finished. The family's previous demands on Duan Xueting are no longer valid. Duan Xueting thinks Xia Juntao is quite outstanding, and these days she's been subtly moving closer to him, showing signs of pursuing him.
