Chapter Three: The Gun

  While his partners went back to gather their belongings, Yang Wei started searching inside the room again.

  This time it's not a purposeless search, because when Yang Wei was looking for something in front of him, he found an inconspicuous wooden board on the ground in Xiliang. What is this? There must be some secret inside.

  As soon as the little friends went out, Yang Wei immediately closed the door and came to the west room. He first moved away some things on top of it, and there was a lot of dirt on the wooden board, apparently this place had not been touched for a long time.

  Yang Wei slowly felt along the wooden board, finally finding a place where he could insert his hand. With a bit of effort, the wooden board was lifted up, revealing a hidden pit below. Yang Wei lit an oil lamp and slowly descended into the pit, which was over a meter high. The main cave was located beneath the kang (a type of bed).

  Yang Wei found several boxes inside, "Hey, what's this?" One of the boxes was long and narrow, Yang Wei found the opening and opened it.

  As soon as the box was opened, he was stunned. Inside was a whole box of rifles, which should be the little devil's 38 rifle. Looking at this, these guns are all new, and even the gun oil on them hasn't been wiped off yet. Yang Wei casually picked one out, with its shiny bayonet, and looking into the muzzle, there wasn't even a hint of wear and tear. This proves that it's really a brand new rifle, and an unused one at that.

  Yang Wei counted and found that there were ten guns in it. What's the box over there? However, several boxes on the side need to be pried open with a crowbar, but there is a crowbar on the side, so Yang Wei pried one of the boxes open and found that it was a box of bullets.

  The remaining few boxes, Yang Wei opened one by one. In a small box, there were two box-shaped guns. The so-called box-shaped guns were naturally German-made revolvers. Yang Wei picked up one and found that it was an original 20-shot box-shaped gun. This could be seen from the foreign words on top, none of which Yang Wei could recognize, so they must have been genuine imports. Maybe not made in Germany, but definitely imported from abroad.

  There are also some bullets, and there are also clips. These clips are the clips used by this box cannon. Each clip is loaded with 20 rounds of ammunition. The gun is still a standard wooden box. At the tail end of the wooden box, there is a card slot. Yang Wei has seen an introduction to this card slot before. This is to extend the length of the gun. This gun can be used as an automatic rifle.

  Yang Wei thought for a moment, and didn't take the gun out. Instead, he put all these things back in place, far away, then came out of the hole, covered up the outside of the hole, and finally covered it with floating soil on top.

  Then put the item above on top again, and it's just right that there's no way to sweep away the floating soil.

  It can be known from memory that this was originally a house of the landlord Lao Cai, but this house was where the long-term workers of the landlord Lao Cai family lived. However, it seems to have been heard that the landlord Lao Cai did not allow the long-term workers to move in, only sometimes he would live in himself. And this landlord Lao Cai had already been shot dead a year ago, and even his long-term workers all joined the army and were killed in battle. The whole village knows this, because those people were killed in battle nearby.

  Yang Wei's family had only been allocated this house for a short time, just over half a year, and after the landlord Lao Cai died, no one came to live in it, so naturally they didn't discover these guns.

  Even Yang Wei's mother didn't discover this place, mainly because Yang Wei's mother was ill before moving in and naturally couldn't check the whole house thoroughly. She just lived there, and the west wing was a room for storing miscellaneous items. What she mainly cleaned up were the east wing and the main house.

  However, Yang Wei couldn't figure out why the landlord bought these guns but didn't use them. It wasn't until much later that Yang Wei guessed that the guns might have been brought back by the landlord's son, who was an officer in the National Army after the Japanese surrender, and it would have been normal for him to take some of the captured weapons and ammunition.

  However, the landlord's son also died in battles a few years ago. It seems that every time his son came back, he would stay in this house. Does this mean that the landlord didn't know about these weapons at home, or did he know there were such weapons but not where they were? Only this can explain why these guns and ammunition exist.

  Perhaps in the eyes of other villagers these weapons are ominous things, they would hand them over, but Yang Wei naturally wouldn't hand them over.

  He wants to take these guns to the mountain to hunt, so that he can support these little partners. In the previous time, Yang Wei even considered where to go to get some weapons back. Unexpectedly, after dozing off, the pillow came.

  At the same time as discovering the weapon, Yang Wei had a plan in his heart.

  Catch birds, this is the task for these days, the goal is to observe the character of these little partners and see if they are reliable people.

  However, Yang Wei was still very reassured about these little friends. After all, his mother took good care of them, and there were not only a few orphans in the village. But those orphans, after his mother had interacted with them several times, kept their distance from them, showing that they were not to be befriended.

  Perhaps Yang Wei's mother knew she was going to leave the world, so she gave her son these little friends. Even each of their mothers gave them some abilities, especially those few girls, whose mothers taught them sewing skills and techniques by hand. As for the other children, their mothers selectively took them to the village blacksmith and carpenter to learn something. Yang Wei always had an opinion about his mother, why didn't she teach him?

  Yang Wei also obtained this from his memory, and his previous life was actually a very foolish child. Naturally, his mother couldn't teach him anything either. What a great mother she is! She knew her own body well, and once she left, the child might not even be able to find his father. These little friends were the hope for Yang Wei's children to survive. From memory, it can be known that from time to time, his mother would point out to Yang Wei which of these children were reliable.

  If Yang Wei hadn't traveled through time, these children might not have made it through this winter. Although their mother had left behind some skills, what use are skills at a time like this? No wonder their mother had died with her eyes open - she had died in the winter and had already seen the day when her own children would starve to death.
