Chapter 568 A Beauty in Troubled Times (3)
“Father, we can’t hand it over. Although I hate to admit it, we are too weak right now. The most likely outcome is that we’ll just let the tiger return to the mountain,” Wangyou said crisply.
"Captain Zhao, I'm sorry, my daughter isn't willing. But when she gets tired of playing with him, you can take his head and sword with you." Old Xie refused directly when he saw that his daughter disagreed.
"However, Captain Zhao, I can take a picture of you so your leadership team can see it," Wangyou said with a grin.
"No need for photos, I'll report to my superiors another day." Zhao Guosheng didn't dare to underestimate this young girl; she deserved the most credit for catching so many Japanese chickens this time.
"Father, put me down, I'm going to give out rewards to our Boy Scouts."
What rewards have you prepared?
"Of course I can't tell Father about this," Wangyou said, then ran off, her two little pigtails swinging in the air.
"Captain Zhao, come to my house for dinner!"
"No need, I have other things to do!" Captain Zhao said and left with Old Man Xie.
Forget-Me-Not's reward to her friends was a handful of candy for each of them, plus learning gun disassembly techniques together.
Kids love candy, that's for sure, but being able to handle a gun is something they long for.
The village's underground torture chamber held many Japanese chickens, which gave Wangyou plenty of work to do. Every day she tried all sorts of strange poisons, and with her daily lessons in Japanese language from her father, she tortured these Japanese chickens until they cried for their parents.
Especially the second lieutenant who was in charge. For the first few days, the village militia took turns beating him, and his mouth was kept tightly shut. After Wangyou tested the poison on him for a few days, he looked at Wangyou with fear every day.
In order to avoid being used as a test subject for drugs, she tried every day to tell him everything she knew, and he actually revealed something useful.
In a few days, a colonel-level officer from Ping'an County will come to inspect the area and participate in the sweep. He also revealed the location of Captain Zhao's base.
This was truly big news. Wangyou told her father directly, and her father then told Zhao Guosheng.
News of the Japanese military's planned large-scale raid on Ping'an County and Wu'an County spread quickly, and the people of Wangyou's Dahe Village went on high alert.
Since they couldn't get any more useful information out of her, and they were tired of using these people as test subjects for the drug "Forget-Me-Not," they handed the matter over to her father.
Her father was a man of his word; he actually cut off the head of the Japanese officer and sent it to Zhao Guosheng.
Wangyou then started teaching her friends not only martial arts and academic subjects, but also Japanese language.
However, no one objected. Wangyou made it very clear that this war might last for many years, and that learning more of their language might be very useful in the future.
Wangyou was even busier. The old man saw her talent for languages and began to teach her all kinds of languages, as long as he knew them.
Despite this almost cramming-style teaching, Wangyou still absorbed it well, which pleased Old Man Xie so much that he wanted to see where Wangyou's bottom line was.
So, in addition to academic and language classes, Wangyou started studying math, physics, and chemistry, which made Old Man Xie both happy and worried.
He was delighted that his daughter was a genius among geniuses, but worried that she was born in a chaotic era.
The more Wangyou learned, the more she felt that there was something wrong with her parents' identities. After observing them for the past few days, she realized that her parents' relationship with the people of Dahe Village was not like that of ordinary villagers, but more like that of master and servant.
Moreover, who in the village is as learned as her father, knowing everything? Of course, she is relatively weak in math, physics, and chemistry, only knowing a little bit, but even that little bit is enough for her to forget her worries and do whatever she wants.
"Father, can you get me these chemical tools?" Wangyou found the chemical experiments in the chemistry book very interesting, and she couldn't wait to get them.
"Come with your father." Old Xie sighed, never expecting that the things he had collected in advance would actually come in handy one day.
Old Xie led Wangyou directly to her boudoir, then rhythmically knocked three times on the wall above her bed. He repeated this action in three different places, and the bed frame of Wangyou's canopy bed rose up, revealing a hole in the ground.
Following Old Man Xie down, they discovered that the space below was many times larger than the space above, and the depth was a full thirty meters.
There are countless boxes piled up here, and gold and silver jewelry are scattered on the ground, so her family must be incredibly wealthy.
"These are things your mother and I prepared for our daughter's dowry when we were young. Who knew that your father would wait for a daughter for fifty years!"
"Father, do you mean all these things belong to me alone, and my eldest brother and seventh brother don't have any?"
"Yes, boys have to work hard on their own. Why should they need their parents to provide for them?" Old Xie said with a chuckle. "It's just that with the chaos of the times, who knows how long it will be before these things see the light of day again."
"Father, as long as there is something, one day it will see the light of day. Show me the things first."
"it is good."
The father and daughter walked for a while before arriving at another secret room, which turned out to be a complete laboratory, containing all the chemical equipment mentioned in the book.
"Father, you're amazing." The ventilation here is excellent, and there are even electric lights. It's incredible, considering that her family upstairs didn't even have electric lights.
Her parents were truly the most convincing people she had ever met who could portray the character of an ordinary person so well. She had only ever guessed that her family had a little money, never imagining that they were incredibly wealthy.
"Those chemical raw materials are in another room. I wonder if they're still usable after all these years." As he spoke, Old Xie gave Wangyou another surprise.
They were incredibly prescient. The father and daughter checked the experimental materials and found that none of them were expired or damp.
"After we leave, Father will arrange for someone to send another batch of experimental materials over."
"Thank you, Father. I will definitely make better medicine."
"Father believes in you." After reading this, the two left the basement.
However, Old Man Xie still didn't intend to tell Wangyou what his family did, so Wangyou didn't ask. Anyway, if she knew, she would have to stay here, since she couldn't fly away.
To have any hope of flying away, you need to be at least ten years old.
A small Japanese detachment in Ping'an County has gone missing, with no trace of them, whether alive or dead. This infuriated Colonel Kameda, who decided to launch a large-scale sweep of Ping'an County and the surrounding areas ahead of schedule to eliminate all resistance elements.
In addition to Captain Zhao and his guerrilla team, the Red Party also sent a company of troops to help Dahe Village this time.
Upon arriving and seeing the uneven quality of the weapons these people carried, Old Xie chuckled and sighed: "They're probably not just here to help, but also to buy supplies!"
