Traveling through 1942 with space

Although Hou Xiaoge had obtained some ill-gotten gains from a landlord some time ago, it was only a box the size of a palm, and the property inside was only worth four or five hundred yuan. Hou Xiaoge also owned that little fortune in later lives.

But today's wealth was truly shocking, with three full boxes. Hou Xiaoge could only describe it with the words "a country bumpkin seeing the world."

In the past, buying a gold bracelet weighing dozens of grams would be as painful as if it were costing one's life. Now, there are more than a dozen of them in a box, and there are even more small rings and earrings. It's really like Hou Xiaoge is eating his fill when a bandit falls!

However, Hou Xiaoge also realized from the blood stained on these jewelry how many people these bandits had persecuted over the years. It was truly bloody wealth.

After owning the planting space in this life, Hou Xiaoge has never cared much about money, because in his opinion, making money is too easy.

However, when Hou Xiaoge looked at the money, he always felt a little uncomfortable. That was because the money was covered in blood and was too dirty. He really didn't want to keep it for himself.

But looking at so much wealth, how many people can remain calm? I feel itchy in my heart and struggle constantly inside.

After staring at the box for a long time, Hou Xiaoge struggled internally, which finally turned into a long sigh.

"Ugh!"

“Forget it. These ill-gotten gains were taken from the people, so I might as well use them for the people! It can also be considered as accumulating virtue for myself and my family.” Hou Xiaoge comforted himself.

However, Hou Xiaoge still had some selfish thoughts. He planned to keep the gold for himself as a reserve fund, and as for the conversion price, he would convert it into food and medicinal materials and donate them to the anti-Japanese war team.

It was already getting light outside. Hou Xiazhu, who was standing next to him, was awakened by the urge to pee. When he heard Hou Xiaoge sighing so heavily, he spoke in a daze.

"Heiwa, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing? Are you feeling unwell or has someone bullied you? Tell me."

"I'm not feeling uncomfortable, sister, I just feel that we ordinary people are suffering too much.

Sister, why did you get up so early? "Hou Xiaoge explained and changed the subject.

"I drank too much broth yesterday, so I got up and went to the toilet.

Heiwa, don't let your imagination run wild. We ordinary people have been like this since ancient times. This is fate." Hou Xiazhu got up and looked at his brother to comfort him.

"Oh! I understand." Hou Xiaoge turned her head and glanced at her hurried and thin sister. She didn't say much and continued to close her eyes and rest.

After running all night and thinking about many things, Hou Xiaoge fell asleep again in a daze. When he woke up again, he was pulled up by his uncle.

"Heiwa, get up quickly, it's already dawn, get up quickly and wait for the medicine seller." Hou Yangmin said anxiously.

"what!"

"I got it, uncle. I'll get up right away." Hou Xiaoge yawned tiredly, wiped his face, flicked off the earwax he had picked out, and jumped up with a somersault.

Without water to wash his face, Hou Xiaoge took a piece of bread, carried the food he had prepared in advance, and walked out of the camp with his two cousins.

"Brother, second brother, you just hide here. The place where I have an appointment with someone is behind that broken courtyard. I'll go there first. I'll give you a signal if there's anything." Hou Xiaoge took the backpack from his eldest cousin's arms and let the two hide in the broken courtyard.

"Okay! Heiwa, if the person hasn't come, you can give a secret signal every once in a while so that we know you are there." The eldest cousin welcomed and also liked this way of contacting through secret signals.

"Okay, if the woodpecker calls three times in a row, the first call means come quickly, and the second call means there is someone around. You should listen carefully." Hou Xiaoge reminded with a smile.

"Heiwa, don't worry and go! I have very sharp ears." Erhuan found it very amusing and urged him quickly.

Hou Xiaoge turned around and went to a place where the brothers couldn't see him to eat breakfast, then imitated bird calls twice every five minutes to report on safety.

After the meal, about an hour later, Hou Xiaoge took out the medicinal herbs and five melons and came out.

"Brother, what are second brother doing?" When I returned to the broken courtyard, I saw the two of them hiding in the yard painting.

"Heiwa, you're back!" The two were just bored, and when they saw Hou Xiaoge coming back, they jumped up and went to greet him.

"Heiwa, have you changed it?" Hou Huanying asked in a low voice.

"It's changed, and there are good things for you." Hou Xiaoge handed the backpack to his eldest cousin and said with a smile.

"Heiwa, what's that good stuff? Let me see." When Erhuan heard that there was something good, he started to rummage in the backpack like a chicken with its blood pumped up.

"Cantaloupe!"

The two brothers immediately noticed the melon pressing on the medicinal herbs and said in unison.

"Brother, you've worked hard waiting for me. You two can share one of the melons, and take the rest back to share with your younger brothers." Hou Xiaoge said when he saw the two men looking at me eagerly.

"Hehe! Heiwa, you are so nice."

Er Huan didn't wait for his eldest brother to say anything. He took out the largest melon and drew a line in the middle to divide it in half.

"Erhuan, put it down. Heiwa didn't eat it either. If we have to share it, it should be among the three of us. What's the point of just two of us eating it?" said the eldest cousin, grabbing the melon.

Erhuan felt a little embarrassed after hearing what his elder brother said, and he kept scratching his head with his right hand.

"Hehe! Brother, I haven't eaten cantaloupe in many years, and I almost forgot what it tastes like. I was too anxious just now and forgot about Heiwa." Erhuan looked at Hou Xiaoge embarrassedly and said with a smile.

"Brother, brother, share this melon between the two of you! The herbal farmer let me try one just now, so I won't fight with you. This melon is very sweet, you two should try it." Hou Xiaoge waved his hand hurriedly upon seeing this.

The two of them didn't hesitate to cut the melon in half vertically and started eating it impatiently.

"It smells so good and sweet."

Erhuan Zhu Bajie ate the ginseng fruit. He ate the whole melon in four or five bites and even licked the melon seeds off his hands.

My eldest cousin standing next to me wasn't much better, he even licked his lips after eating.

After they finished eating, they looked at the four melons left in the basket. Although they were a little envious, neither of them wanted to eat more. The three brothers hurried back with the baskets on their backs.

When they returned to the camp, their uncle and elders from several villages were already waiting there. When they saw the brothers coming back, they hurried to greet them.

However, there were melons in the backpack. Hou Xiaoge winked at his uncle, and Hou Yangmin understood and asked everyone to return to their own camp to distribute the medicinal materials.

After returning to the camp, Hou Xiaoge and his brothers took out the melons and asked their Second Aunt to share them with the children. The village elders who had followed them were too embarrassed to ask the children for more.

After the distribution, there was about half of the medicinal materials left. When some retail investors found out, they came with money and meat to exchange.

In the end, the Hou family exchanged a total of eight kilograms of meat and three dollars, which was considered a huge profit.

However, the weather was hot, so the meat was not kept. At noon that day, Hou Yangmin took it to the city and exchanged it for cornmeal and bran, which added up to more than 40 kilograms. The Hou family felt more confident.

By noon of that day, the news spread in the village that Huang Fengshan's property had been stolen and the village had been burned down.

In the afternoon, even more explosive news came out that several gangs of bandits knew that Huangfeng Mountain was destroyed and suffered heavy casualties, so they took advantage of the situation to rob and burn down Huangfeng Mountain.

After receiving this news, the refugee team, who were a little nervous at first, immediately cheered. Without any worries, the team temporarily stopped advancing for the next few days and set up camp in Xiaojie to rest.
