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

Kobayashi Sakura had just gotten rid of the entanglement of Bald George and looked at the girl standing in the moonlight in the distance.

The cold wind blew the empty sleeve of one side of her uniform back and forth.

The cold moonlight, the river rushing into the muddy land, and the cold wind all made the girl who lost her arm look weak and helpless.

"Xuezi, you are not well yet, can't you be exposed to cold wind? If you have a fever, I will force you to go back to the hospital."

As she spoke, she put the military coat in her hand on the girl's thin body.

Matsui Yukiko turned her head and smiled sweetly at her, "Sister Yingzi, you won't blame me for bringing you here from the hospital, right?"

Xiaolin Ying raised her hand and tucked the hair on her cheek behind her ear, and said gently:

"How could that be? I prefer being with girls rather than those men who only know how to yell."

Yukiko Matsui rubbed her face against Sakura Kobayashi's lightly calloused hand almost affectionately.

Kobayashi Sakura seemed unaware of her somewhat inappropriate behavior and instead sighed lovingly.

"Gold, gold!"

In the distance, someone among the laborers working shouted loudly.

The originally weak Matsui Yukiko immediately straightened up and walked quickly towards the place where the sound came from.

When she got there, George and Wells were also there.

The light from the searchlight was extremely dazzling, making the gold ingots in a dirty hand sparkle with golden light.

When Yukiko Matsui squeezed through the crowd, Bald George had already snatched the gold ingot from the coolie.

"Hongwu, it's Hongwu!" There was excitement in his voice.

"Quick, dig carefully around here, the treasures must be here."

Yukiko Matsui closed her eyes, shook her body, and then fell into a warm embrace.

"You should rest." said Sakura Kobayashi.

Matsui Yukiko grinned, showing her white teeth. "I can't fall asleep. I want to see the result."

So two hours later, someone found a silver bottle inlaid with beeswax and rubies in the mud.

When George saw the mark of Tianbao Year, he hugged Wells.

The smile on Yukiko Matsui's face became brighter and brighter.

She wanted to tell her uncle immediately that he was wrong, and that the Taoist priest suddenly disappeared because he was afraid that they would kill him to silence him, and it was not a trap to trick her.

At the same time, in an ordinary courtyard in Xiushui Town.

After taking a shower, Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao looked at each other's new clothes and saw mockery in each other's eyes.

Lu Pingsheng stroked his beard and said critically:

"Ah Miao, you look like an ugly little beggar."

Wei Miao touched the big mole on her left cheek that was covered with her dimples, and then touched the scar on her right cheek, glaring:

"You look like an exiled murderer."

Lu Pingsheng tugged at his dog-skin coat and said in a rough voice:

"My enemy slaughtered my entire family and destroyed my daughter's appearance. I will pursue him to the ends of the earth to avenge him."

Wei Miao looked around the furnishings in the room. People say a cunning rabbit has three burrows. So Brother Lu must have three hundred burrows.

There are nests everywhere.

If she had known that there was Brother Lu’s house in Xiushui Town last time, she would have definitely slept here for a day before going home.

"Duck Egg, call daddy and let me hear you."

"Dad! Daddy! Daddy!"

Wei Miao was too lazy to resist, which made Lu Pingsheng feel bored.

What's the point of resisting? Pretend to be an ugly girl, give her a box of gold, call her dad, and she'll give you a gold ingot.

She happily agreed, and when she called Lu Pingsheng "Dad" for the thirtieth time, he brought her back to her senses from her mentality of taking advantage of her.

"Don't shout. Only calling dad three times a day is effective. The rest is worthless."

Wei Miao was not convinced and accused him of going back on his word. Finally, the two reached an agreement to call him "dad" eight times a day.

After shouting three times, Lu Pingsheng looked at Wei Miao, who was wearing a flowery cotton jacket, and said happily:

"Duck Egg, call daddy a few more times."

Wei Miao didn't bother to pay attention to him, "Is it time?"

Lu Pingsheng wanted to raise his hand to look at his watch, but found that his hand was empty, so he had to take out a tattered bag from his arms and look at it.

"Just check it out and go."

The two walked towards the pier of Xiushui Town in the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, everything is quiet. The cold wind blows, and there are few insects chirping in winter. Occasionally, the calls of unknown birds break the silence.

Ali seemed to like nights like this. He jumped a few times, perhaps catching a mouse or a sleeping bird.

Wei Miao followed Lu Pingsheng to the dock and got into the boat.

As soon as the two sat down, the boat ropes were untied and the sound of oars paddling in the water was particularly clear.

Wei Miao stared at the rower's back and tried hard not to roll his eyes.

Brother Lu is quite powerful. The guy acting crazy at the dock is one of his people.

Although she had only seen this man once at the dock, she remembered him after thinking about it carefully.

What did the people in Xiushui Town say at the beginning? They said he was the only one who went to Badaowan and came back alive.

Just became a madman.

Wei Miao reminded quietly: "Don't you guys need to exchange secret signals?"

Lu Pingsheng felt a little uncomfortable with the beard on his face.

When he heard the little brat's question, he turned to look at her, quite speechless.

A Miao is sometimes very smart, and sometimes very stupid and naive.

Seeing that Lu Pingsheng didn't want to talk, Wei Miao yawned, leaned his head on the patched bag, and found a comfortable position to lie down.

"Brother Lu, call me when you get there."

Wei Miao yawned again, looked up at the moon in the sky that looked like a big pancake, and spoke vaguely.

Before Lu Pingsheng could respond, he saw that the little kid had fallen asleep in an instant.

"What a carefree youth." After saying that, he took off his dog-skin coat and covered Wei Miao with it.

"After you drop me off, you will head directly south. Separate the rail and water transport and be responsible for transporting the goods smoothly."

Lu Pingsheng's voice was gentle, and the sound of water rolling and rowing made people feel peaceful.

"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Xingguang!"

The rower's voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"I enjoy it." Lu Pingsheng said in a happy voice.

"Is there anything you want me to take to the Northwest?" the man asked.

Lu Pingsheng's calm thoughts jumped, more excited than when he discovered a vault full of gold.

The rower heard his heavier breathing and seemed to understand his feelings.

So there was no urging, just paddling the boat one by one.

After a long while, Lu Pingsheng said awkwardly, "No."

The rower didn't seem surprised. He just said "hmm" softly and stopped talking.

Lu Pingsheng has a lot to say. He wants to tell Xibei:

The war next July, the difficulties in the future, and so many more. . .

But just like before, the words were on the tip of my tongue, unable to come out, and written down on paper they were a mess.

It seemed as if the only thing he was allowed to do was to use his own power to change certain things.

For example, the weapons and medicine bottles that the fleet he organized brought back...

"Is this the child that Old Huang mentioned who invented penicillin?"

Lu Pingsheng knew the level of the rowers, so it was not surprising that he knew about Wei Miao.

Since the advent of penicillin, the Northwest has attached great importance to it.

His new contact code name: Boatman.

He is a character I have seen in textbooks.
