I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Wei Miao waited at home for another three days before he packed up his things, packed the plum blossom bronze medal, and went out carrying Ali.

It was a cool winter night, and Xu Ayu personally wrapped a scarf around her neck before she went out to keep out the cold wind.

The rickshaw driver's rapid breathing as he jogged was soon drowned out by the sound of dribbling cars on the street.

"Young Master, be careful when you go to the Chinese Territory now."

Wei Miao touched the Ali in his bag and asked curiously:

"what happened?"

The rickshaw driver said, "I don't know why, there are always people missing on the street, they go out fine, and don't come back for several days."

Wei Miao’s first reaction was that someone was buying and selling women and children.

"The key is that those who are missing are all strong laborers. At the Chinese wharf, coolies now go out in groups of three or five and dare not walk alone at night."

Wei Miao was quite confused, "Why arrest a man?"

The rickshaw drivers didn't know either, but they had heard rumors that "there was going to be a war, and they were conscripting men."

Wei Miao thought it was fake. The army is still very strict in recruiting people nowadays.

For example, in the past, if a young Nanjing wanted to join the army, he had to use connections to join the national army.

A conscription order is enough, there is no need to capture able-bodied men in the city.

"Some people also said that it was the Japanese dwarfs who captured people and forced them to work as laborers in the mines."

For some reason, Wei Miao suddenly remembered Matsui Yukiko and the other two three days ago.

If they knew where the treasure was, they would definitely dig it up.

Regular troops are too eye-catching, and Chinese coolies are just right. They can be killed after use, and there is no need to worry about leaks.

"I heard that a few days ago a hotel collapsed in Hongkou, killing many high-ranking officials. They are venting their anger."

The rickshaw driver felt sad.

Wei Miao asked, "The authorities don't care?"

"Yes, the patrol officers came to register, but they don't know when they will find the person."

After a moment of silence, the rickshaw driver said enviously:

"The concession is still good. It's peaceful and harmonious with singing and dancing. But it doesn't matter. Once the Japanese are driven away, the Chinese area will be safe."

Wei Miao knew that what he said was wrong, but he didn't argue with him.

The premise for the security of a territory must be that there is only one voice. As long as something like a concession exists, it means that there are foreign enemies in this territory, and there is no absolute security.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when the rickshaw arrived at Juhuali Lane.

Just like in my memory, the alley was quiet in winter. One of the dim street lights at the intersection was broken, making the intersection seem even darker.

Fortunately, Wei Miao was very adaptable to the dark environment and walked towards home with light steps.

The Ali in front of her had already quickly jumped onto the roofs on both sides and disappeared.

Hearing the meow, Wei Miao entered Lu Pingsheng's house. Without turning on the lights, he groped his way into his master bedroom.

"Meow~"

Ali's tail hooked Wei Miao's calf, as if telling her that there was no sign of human presence in this place.

Wei Miao opened the secret passage with familiarity and walked up the stairs with a flashlight in hand.

Hearing the door of the secret passage behind her slowly closing, Wei Miao pulled the switch and felt the wealth enveloping her from all directions of the secret room.

Under the transparent light, the vessels used to extract sulfa and penicillin were covered with white cloth.

The big box that originally contained treasures against the corner was now empty.

Wei Miao stepped on a stool, lit eight oil lamps one by one, and then turned off the power.

Wei Miao was originally a little excited, but when he saw the projections of eight plum blossom marks on the ground, his mood calmed down.

Including today, it has been nearly four years. I first dug in my bedroom, and then after I met Brother Lu, I found this secret room, but I didn’t find any wealth that was equal to my fortune.

"Ah Li, do you think I can get what I want today?"

Ali, who was squatting on the ground like Wei Miao, tilted his little head and looked at her.

"Meow~"

Wei Miao placed the plum blossom bronze medals in his hand on the projections on the ground one by one, then hugged Ali and ran towards a small door on the side of the secret room.

This small door leads to the Wei family’s house, the direction of my bedroom.

If the mechanism is triggered, only this passage dug out later will be safe.

"Meow~"

Ali was getting impatient waiting, but nothing happened. Wei Miao covered his mouth and yawned, muttering:

"Am I wrong?"

After saying that, I suddenly remembered what that Taoist priest said three days ago: "Turn off the lights."

Wei Miao asked Ali to wait there while he stood on a stool and blew out the tung oil lamps one by one.

Wait until the last light goes out.

"Meow!!!"

Ahri, who was waiting there, suddenly got angry and ran towards Wei Miao's position accurately.

Wei Miao, who was still standing on the stool, looked at the bronze plate on the ground that was automatically emitting fine golden light, and was somewhat surprised.

Is this the legendary Taoist method?

But Brother Lu said that there are no magical methods in this world, and all methods can be explained by science.

He also threw a stack of books at me and slowly induced me, "Learn math, physics and chemistry well, and you won't be afraid to travel the world."

Wei Miao looked at the golden light on the eight bronze plates and saw the eight characters of the Eight Trigrams.

"Humph, Brother Lu didn't say that if you are good at math, physics and chemistry, you can read gossip."

When Wei Miao was complaining, he was secretly glad that he had listened to Uncle Zeng Bao talk about the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, Feng Shui and the Book of Changes at Zeng's house last time, and that he had paid attention and read more ancient books.

"Ahri, tell me, what are the clues for these eight things? Do we need a center of the formation?"

When Wei Miao was hesitating whether to go in and be the center of the formation himself, Ahri made a warning sound.

She listened carefully and noticed movement at the stairs.

Wei Miao's heart skipped a beat and he patted Ahri's butt, "Go ahead."

As soon as Ahri jumped out, the light in the secret room came on.

Wei Miao turned his head and saw Lu Pingsheng in black.

"Brother Lu."

Although they knew that they were the only ones who knew this place, they still felt guilty at this strange moment.

When Lu Pingsheng saw that it was Wei Miao, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I called your house and told you that you were here to do something for me, so I knew you would definitely come back here."

The two hadn't seen each other for several days since they last parted at the Far East Hotel. When they met suddenly, they still felt a sense of intimacy.

"Brother Lu, the Japanese are not monitoring you anymore?"

Lu Pingsheng was proud, "Our fleet is about to return to Hong Kong. I need Hong Kong Island to pick us up. The big guys up there are waiting to count their money."

When Wei Miao heard that the fleet had returned, his eyes lit up. What did the return of the fleet mean?

It means she is going to get rich.

"They now think Allah is on the boat to Hong Kong Island."

Wei Miao asked curiously, "If you don't go over, will it be okay?"

Lu Pingsheng waved his hand indifferently, "It's nothing."

Wei Miao looked at Lu Pingsheng with his eyes rolling.

Seeing the little brat's bad look, Lu Pingsheng felt nervous and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Wei Miao chuckled and said, "Brother Lu, I recently learned a truth called the unity of knowledge and action. I don't quite understand it, so I hope you can teach me."

Lu Pingsheng knew that Wei Miao was studying medicine with Master He Zhishang, but he didn't know that the old monk also taught "Xinxue".

It's rare that a child has such a strong desire for knowledge, so just teach him.

It was not until Wei Miao arranged him to stand in the middle of the Bagua that he suddenly realized.

"Ah Miao, what are you doing?"
