After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

The reason why Tong Jia did all these things at the Pei family was not only because he didn't want the Pei family's wealth to be easily taken advantage of by the Japanese, but also because he hoped to take advantage of the chaos here tomorrow to reduce the number of people being checked at the checkpoint.

The little tricks she did before leaving were actually a time bomb device.

I learned this method from the heroine when I was watching a TV series.

However, the explosion site was set in a hospital, and the hospital was full of Japanese soldiers, so the setting had to be particularly imaginative.

She didn't need to design it that way. She had firecrackers, kerosene, cloth, firewood and other combustible materials. As long as the delay device was controlled to after dawn, it would not have much impact on Tong Jia's plan for tomorrow.

When all the cloth is soaked with kerosene, not only will the sparks in the firewood pile start a prairie fire, but the firecrackers in the Pei family warehouse will also make the whole of Tianjin tremble with their deafening roars.

Of course, in order to avoid hurting innocent people, Tong Jia specially surveyed the area around Pei's house.

The Pei family's residence is connected to a large garden, and the shops on both sides of the street in front of the gate are all Pei family businesses.

Originally there were clerks and shopkeepers on night watch, but after the Pei family was occupied by the Fuso people during the day today, all the Chinese in these shops were driven away, leaving only the Fuso people.

Therefore, even if the entire camp was burned down, Tong Jia was not worried that his compatriots would be harmed.

When she returned to the rental house outside the school, Pei Yingxue had already woken up.

Maybe it was the side effect of the drug, she felt drowsy and sat on the bare bed staring at Tao Junle.

Both of them were startled when they heard the door open.

One of them, like a frightened little rabbit, quickly curled up at the foot of the wall, with his face facing the wall, as if he would be safe as long as he didn't see who was coming.

The other one was like a lion with its fur standing on end. He quickly picked up the fire hook beside the kang and took a defensive stance.

After seeing clearly that the person coming in was Tong Jia, Tao Junle quickly threw away the fire hook in his hand. Before he could pounce on Tong Jia, the figure who had been curled up in the corner just now rushed to Tong Jia in one step and pushed Tao Junle aside.

Tao Junle's smile changed instantly when he saw Tong Jia return safely.

He waved his little fist unwillingly at Pei Yingxue's back.

Tong Jia smiled and shook her head at him, then patted Pei Yingxue's back soothingly and said softly, "Yingxue, don't be afraid. This is where Lele and I rented when I first came to Tianjin.

The tenant has returned to his hometown and the house has not been rented out for a while.

Your family... your family members...

Let’s not talk about how your family is doing. I want to know what your plans are for the future?

I want to keep hiding like this, and wait until your family’s anger subsides, and then you can go back and reconcile.

Or... just leave Tianjin, cut off all ties with those so-called relatives, and never contact them again?"

Pei Yingxue burst into tears again when she heard this.

Tong Jia didn't urge her, but just waited quietly for her to consider it.

Of course, while she was thinking about it, Tong Jia took out a paper bag from behind her like a magic trick.

There were ten buns and a can of soy milk in the paper bag.

Pei Yingxue has been unconscious in the RV for two days. If she doesn't replenish some nutrition while she is awake, Tong Jia is worried that in the end, what Yuan Shengnan will send to northern Shaanxi or other bases will be a human or a corpse.

Sure enough, Pei Yingxue, who was originally immersed in entanglement and depression, immediately changed her mood after smelling the fragrance of the buns.

After wolfing down eight buns and reaching for the ninth, Pei Yingxue saw Tao Junle's surprised expression and explained sheepishly, "I'm too hungry.

When I was hiding in your dormitory before, I didn’t dare to eat or drink too much because I didn’t know when you would come back.

Well... these two buns won't fill you up with just one each, so just give them all to me.

I have money, I'll give you money, and you can go buy...

Hey? Where's my suitcase? All my money is in it.

Jiajia, is my suitcase still in your dormitory? Can you go back and get it for me? It contains all my money. Without it, I can’t leave even if I want to.

Seeing that Pei Yingxue was about to cry again, Tong Jia quickly winked at Tao Junle. Tao Junle understood and walked forward to pull Pei Yingxue to sit on the bed. Tong Jia took this opportunity to pretend to take out Pei Yingxue's suitcase from under the bed, but actually took it out from the RV.

Pei Yingxue immediately opened the box and checked, and everything inside was there.

She looked at Tong Jia sheepishly, took out a bundle of silver dollars from the box, stuffed it into Tong Jia's hand, and said, "Jia Jia, I know I've had you running around for me these past two days, and this friendship is worth a thousand pounds.

It is not enough to pay it off with these thirty silver dollars.

But I have nothing else to give you except money.

Don't refuse. Actually, three hundred isn't much, but that's all the cash I have. If I give it all to you, I...

Wuwu...Jiajia, am I very selfish?"

Tong Jia really couldn't stand Pei Yingxue's crying all the time. Thinking of the RV full of gold, silver and jewelry collected from the Pei family, she really didn't care whether Pei Yingxue gave her a thank-you gift or not.

She didn't want to save her just for this little thank you gift.

The world is difficult and everyone is struggling in the quagmire. She will help as many people as she can.

In order to reassure Pei Yingxue, Tong Jia took the bundle of silver dollars she gave her.

The silver dollars were neatly wrapped in brown paper, with thirty in a bundle.

After Tong Jia took it, she handed it directly to Tao Junle, who put it in his pocket.

Just as Pei Yingxue was about to take another bundle, Tong Jia held her hand.

Said: "Alright, given our relationship, it's not right to give me this bundle. Don't give me the rest. Just consider it as capital for you to go somewhere else."

"Other places? Other places? Is there anywhere else I can go?" Pei Yingxue muttered to herself.

Tong Jia asked, "Yingxue, who do you think contributed the most to your successful escape from your home this time?"

"Who made the greatest contribution?" Pei Yingxue was puzzled, but still thought about it according to Tong Jia's words.

Before she met Tong Jia, she was a delicate young lady who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world and was defenseless against anyone.

Many things were only known when Tong Jia, Gao Chong, and the two brothers of the He family discussed current affairs.

Especially in terms of her physical strength, if Gao Chong had not given her such a long period of emergency training before, even if she knew that her parents and family had betrayed her and wanted to run away, she would not have the physical strength to do so.

To put it bluntly, Gao Chong developed his physical fitness through self-training, and his courage to escape was slowly nurtured through his interactions with Tong Jia and Gao Chong.

Who deserves the greatest credit?

Of course, it was friends like Tong Jia and Gao Chong who influenced and changed me subtly.

Thinking about it this way, Pei Yingxue probably knew what Tong Jia meant.

She met Tong Jia's gaze and asked, "Jia Jia, do you mean... you want me to follow the same path as Gao Chong?"

Even if Gao Chong did not clearly state his identity, they were together every day before. Pei Yingxue was naive but not really stupid, so she had some guesses about Gao Chong's identity.

It's just that she just wanted to make friends and didn't want to get involved in too many complicated things.

She deliberately ignored many things.

Now, she couldn't ignore it.

After thinking carefully for a long time, she asked, "Jia Jia, my home—I will not go back.

During the time I was in a coma, I could clearly hear what everyone in my family was thinking about me.

If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it. Those words were said by my most trusted family member.

My father said that it was worth it that he had been pampering me all these years, as I was indeed chosen by a noble person at first sight.

My brother said that he has been pampering me and keeping me childish all these years because he was worried that I would be difficult to control.

My mother said, it's a pity that the noble lady from Fusang insisted on taking me back to Fusang, and could only use me to exchange for this one benefit. If I could stay in Tianjin, she could coax me well in the future and probably get more from me.

If I hadn't been incapacitated by medication at the time, I probably would have gotten up and confronted them.

But now think about it, even if I had confronted them at that time, what would have happened?

It only makes me look worse.

I really have nowhere to go now, but I'm not sure if I have the courage like Gao Chong to do those things... You and she both think they are just, but the general public thinks they are heretical.

I……"

Tong Jia said, “You don’t necessarily have to do those things.

You know, I am an orphan myself, and the principal made an exception and let me live in the dormitory because he sympathized with me living with my younger brother.

Staying with me is definitely not a long-term solution.

You can contact someone in Gao Chong to take you out of Tianjin.

You can explain clearly to the person who comes to pick you up what you just said to me.

Because this time we found a security company, as long as you pay for it yourself, they can take you wherever you want to go.

If you are willing and determined to follow Gao Chong's route, you can pay the escort agency to take you to northern Shaanxi or other places where they need you.

If you don't want to get involved in state affairs, then find a safe place yourself, pay the money, and the escort agency will take you there.

Where your destination is is entirely up to you; no one will force you."

"Escort agency?" Pei Yingxue thought that it was someone from Gao Chong's side who sent her away, but she didn't expect it was the escort agency that Gao Chong found.

For a moment, I felt mixed emotions.

She expected that she would need to pay to leave, but she didn't expect that Gao Chong didn't take her under his wing directly.

It was the friendship between classmates that saved her from danger.

It was just business as usual, but it didn't seem like he trusted her that much.

Just as she was hesitating about what to choose, there was a loud explosion, shaking the whole house.

This was followed by a series of crackling sounds, not like gunshots, but still bursting with flames. Looking out the window, the entire sky was as bright as day.

Pei Yingxue looked out the window and found that the place on fire was her own home. She looked at Tong Jia in shock.

Tong Jia said: "Because you left, your family will not be able to report to the Japanese.

During the day today, all your family members were driven out by the Fuso people.

Now all the people living in your house are Japanese. I guess this is something done by patriotic people who hate Japanese people very much.

You can rest assured that if the news the He brothers heard is true, your family members should not be among them."

Pei Yingxue said, "I want to go and take a look."

"Okay." Tong Jia said, and then slashed Pei Yingxue's neck with the knife.

Are you kidding? It’s already this late and you still want to go and take a look. Aren’t you just asking for death?

Look at the time, it's already one o'clock in the morning.

A new day began, and Tong Jia put Pei Yingxue and her suitcases in the RV again.

Because the RV was already filled with the Pei family's gold, silver and jewelry, Pei Yingxue was placed in upright this time.

While the entire city of Tianjin was rushing to the Pei family to put out the fire, Tong Jia took Tao Junle up the mountain.

There were still people guarding their posts at the checkpoint on the mountain, but their attention was all drawn to the fire below.

Tong Jia, dressed as an elderly person, successfully took Tao Junle to the place of the last handover.

In order to make it easier for the He brothers to come over after daybreak, Tong Jia and Tao Junle sprinkled a handful of laxatives and itching powder at the checkpoint after they reached a safe location.

In this way, even if the fire at the foot of the mountain was extinguished, these people would not have the energy to properly check the people passing by.

Since it was still late at night, the people from Yuan Shengnan's side had not had time to come over yet.

This gave Tong Jia the opportunity to investigate the environment.

Soon, she found a cave in the back mountain of the handover location.

There are traces of a fire in the cave, which means someone must have stayed here. The preliminary judgment is that it is safe.

She found some medicinal powder from the RV and sprinkled it at the entrance of the cave to ensure the safety of the three people in the cave.

After doing this, she returned to the cave and brought out Pei Yingxue and her suitcase.

Thinking of the people on Yang Jixia's side who were still wearing patched clothes in the middle of winter, Tong Jia thought about it and put all the silver dollars and gold collected from the Pei family this time deep in the cave.

There were no marks on these things. Even if they were handed to Yuan Shengnan in front of Pei Yingxue, Pei Yingxue would not have thought that they were moved from her own home.

As for those valuable antiques and jewelry, Pei Yingxue should be very familiar with them, so Tong Jia did not take them out.

Worried that Pei Yingxue would insist on going to Pei's house to check the fire after waking up, Tong Jia considered and gave Pei Yingxue a little forgetfulness powder.

After that, she and Tao Junle each took a book and started reading in the cave.

The agreed time finally arrived, and the He brothers and Yuan Shengnan's people came one after another.

Tong Jia asked Tao Junle to bring people to the cave. She said: "I originally wanted to find a safe place to hide, but when I found this cave, I found these gold and silver coins at the end of the cave.

I don't know who hid them here, Comrade Yuan, can we requisition these things?"

After checking the items, Yuan Shengnan said, "I don't have the final say on this. I need to report it to the higher-ups and see what they mean.

Comrade Tong Jia, I will report your findings to the higher authorities. Now, you can give me the things you brought back from Guisui."

Tong Jia gave the cross-body bag to Yuan Shengnan, and what happened afterwards had nothing to do with her.

Glancing at Pei Yingxue, who was still in a coma, she said, "She was severely hurt by her family this time, and her memory is a little confused. Give her some time to recover and treat her well."

After getting Yuan Shengnan's promise, Tong Jia took Tao Junle down the mountain and back to school.
