"Xu Wen, you're back. Are these your friends?"
Suddenly, a man in his fifties or sixties stood up and asked him with a smile.
Xu Wen stood next to Song Zhe and whispered, "He is one of them, and he is also the village chief of our village."
“We are his friends, and we have to go now. Where do you live? Lead the way.”
Song Zhe looked at Xu Wen, who immediately led the way. After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at a thatched hut.
Xu Wen immediately pushed open the door and went in, shouting loudly, "Mom, Mom..."
Hearing the voice, which sounded like her son's, Xu's mother immediately came out of her room. When she saw that it was Xu Wen who had returned, she burst into tears of joy.
"Awen, why are you back?"
"Mom, a soldier accompanied me back. I'll take you to settle down in the place where I was sent to work in the countryside. Let's not come back again."
"Is it okay?" Xu's mother wiped away her tears and looked at him expectantly.
“Okay, I asked the soldiers who came back with me last night, and they are all outside the gate. I’ll take you out to have a look.”
"Okay, sure."
Xu Wen helped his mother to Song Zhe and Lu Yu, and said excitedly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Your son told me that you know there's another place in the village where those guns and ammunition are hidden, is that right?"
"Yes, there's a secret room under the abandoned ancestral hall, and all those things are inside."
If Awen's beastly father hadn't gotten drunk and let it slip, and I hadn't overheard it, I wouldn't have known about this.
After Song Zhe and the others heard what Xu's mother said, Lu Yu suddenly asked, "What else have the remaining seven or eight young people done?"
After thinking for a while, Xu's mother said, "No, all I know from his father is that this group of people stayed behind to search for treasure. They haven't done anything else that is immoral or immoral."
“What my mother said is true. They’re only keeping their trip home because they’re hoping to find the treasure and bring it back to their country.”
Song Zhe looked at Xu's mother and said, "Why don't you take us to see that abandoned ancestral hall?"
"Okay, follow me."
They followed behind Xu's mother and set off for the abandoned ancestral hall.
Meanwhile, in the village office, they were all gathered around the village chief, worried that the people Xu Wen brought back looked like soldiers and whether they had discovered their village's secret.
"Village chief, what should we do? Are we going to be arrested and imprisoned?" one of the middle-aged men asked.
"Hey, quiet down, don't scare yourself. We've been staying here ever since."
"They haven't done anything to harm their own people, so they wouldn't treat us like this," the village chief said calmly.
"But I saw that Xu Wen's eyes looked like he wanted to kill us."
The village chief remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
Suddenly, someone rushed over and shouted, "Village chief, something's wrong! Xu Wen took those outsiders to the ancestral hall!"
"What? What should we do? Come on, let's go take a look."
After Song Zhe and Lu Yu arrived at the ancestral hall, they carefully examined the secret chamber to find out where the mechanism was.
"Old Song, we didn't find any hidden mechanisms on these walls."
Song Zhe walked behind the door, groped around, and touched a protruding brick.
He pressed down hard, and the hidden door underground slowly opened.
"Hey, Lao Song, you're amazing! You're really awesome," Lu Yu praised happily.
At this moment, the crowd following the village chief also arrived at the ancestral hall.
They discovered the door to the secret room was open and quickly stopped them, asking, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yu stepped forward and said, "I advise you to stay where you are and not move. There's no use for these things if you keep them."
"But……"
The village chief reached out to stop the villagers from speaking; at this point, they could only accept their fate.
This country is becoming stronger and stronger, so they won't feel like they've wasted their lives living here.
"Lu Yu, you stay here and keep watch. I'll take the two of them down to take a look."
"Old Song, go ahead, I'll guard this door well."
Song Zhe led his men down the stairs immediately. He took out a flashlight from his pocket and cautiously shone it into the secret room below.
"Let's be careful."
"Yes, Battalion Commander."
Two minutes later, they went down into the secret room. Sure enough, there was a large pile of wooden crates neatly stacked against the wall.
"Battalion Commander, I counted them, there are thirty boxes in total, all of them are firearms and ammunition."
"Okay, let's move out together. You stay downstairs and keep watch for me."
Song Zhe and one of the others carried it upstairs, and Lu Yu saw this and quickly came over to help.
"You guys go down and help too."
To show his determination, the village chief walked up to Song Zhe and the others and said, "I'll ask the villagers to help too."
"OK."
So the village chief waved to the people behind him, and the able-bodied young men immediately stepped forward.
"village head."
"Go down and help carry the wooden crates up."
"Yes, village chief."
The village chief had lived on this land for decades, and he had always longed for a peaceful life. Moreover, he considered himself a citizen of this country.
Moreover, he was forced to leave his homeland to participate in the war, and his country has not sent anyone to bring them back all these years.
So he has given up on his country; a country that can wage war is hardly a good country.
After a while, everyone had carried all the wooden crates up. Song Zhe walked up to the village chief and asked, "Does your village have bicycles?"
"I have one at home, I'll get someone to ride it over. Xiaoshan, go and ride your bicycle over." After the village chief finished giving the instructions, the young man named Xiaoshan immediately ran off.
