Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 10: Reaping Ill-gotten Gains
Before leaving for the county town, Han Hui and Huang Shufen said, "I guess we won't get our household registration until tomorrow, so we won't be back today. You and Xiaocao should stay home and be careful."

The granary was robbed, and the Japanese troops who went to Zhangshu Village to raid were annihilated. The Japanese troops did not have the strength to investigate and cause trouble in other towns, so Huang Shufen and Xiaocao were safe in Shiling Town.

Huang Shufen said, "Xiao Cao has already bought everything. We won't go out until you come back."

Xiaocao has dark skin and a strong body, so no one would dare to attack her. She is also very strong, so ordinary people cannot bully her.

In this world, staying home isn't necessarily safe. Han Hui said, "If someone breaks in, just give them what they want. Don't start a fight."

The system stipulated that things beyond the scope of this world could not be known to others, and things like space and skills could only be used by her. Otherwise, she would teach Xiaocao martial arts. After learning, she could better protect Huang Shufen, and she wouldn't have to worry about going out.

"it is good."

Han Hui rode out, putting on her mask midway. She had previously learned the guerrillas' approximate location from her conversation with Wang Jun. Her main purpose this time was to explore the route and find a cave to store food.

Han Hui hadn't expected to encounter bandits the moment she entered Nanwan. But it wasn't surprising, considering the world was full of different kinds of people.

The leading bandit said, "Leave the horse and the package and I'll spare your life."

The remaining three bandits pointed their guns at her, ready to shoot if she disagreed.

He rode the horse to save some energy, but he didn't expect to be targeted by bandits. It was probably because he lacked experience.

Han Hui looked at the leading bandit. He was a big, burly man with a face full of flesh, a fierce look in his eyes, and a murderous aura. A man like him must have killed many people.

She pretended to be very scared and said, "I can give you the horse. The package contains dry food and a change of clothes. Can you leave it to me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get off your horse..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Han Hui pulled out the fuse of the grenade and threw it at them, then quickly jumped off the horse and hid behind it.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The horse was shot and fell to the ground, followed by a huge explosion.

Three bandits were killed on the spot, and one bandit was only injured. Seeing Han Hui coming over, he begged for mercy loudly: "Hero, spare my life, hero, spare my life..."

Han Hui ignored his nonsense and killed him with a single blow. After looking around to make sure no one was around, she stored the body and the horse into her space and quickly scurried off into the forest beside the road.

Han Hui took the belongings from the four bodies and threw them into the deep pit. After walking in for about half an hour, she met an old man chopping wood. After asking for directions, she continued walking in.

After climbing over two mountains, Han Hui climbed a large tree, steadied herself, and peered around with a telescope. Luckily, she spotted two men carrying bows and arrows.

Han Hui has been learning hunting for more than six months and has come into contact with many hunters. She can tell from the movements of these two people that they are not professional.

When Han Hui found the two men, one was inside the trap and the other was outside. After a while, they worked together to pull a wild boar out of the trap.

The wild boar looked to be about 140 to 150 kilograms. The man with a scar on the corner of his eye said happily, "It's been a while since we've had meat. Today we can finally have some meat."

Two men carried the wild boar in front, with Han Hui following behind. Because she walked lightly and kept a distance, the two men in front didn't notice her. After following them for a while along the mountain path, Han Hui came across a row of adobe houses and several thatched huts. In front of one of the adobe houses, several men were slicing bamboo strips with pointed tips, likely for use in traps.

Han Hui guessed that this should be a guerrilla stronghold, and she came here to find the guerrilla stronghold.

After finding their base, Han Hui went looking for a cave. Soon, she found one nearby, though it was dark and cold. A cave like this wasn't suitable for storing food, but it would be enough for two or three days.

Han Hui placed the food and twenty-one boxes in the cave, taking out anything she didn't need. She was going to the county town today and should be able to find something useful.

It was already past four in the afternoon when she arrived at the county town. She observed the city gate and noticed a number of Japanese soldiers. Previously, the guards at the gate were all traitors, and they only checked people entering the city, but now they were checking even people leaving.

Han Hui didn't want to be searched by these devils, so she left after understanding the situation and waited until nightfall to sneak into the county town from the water. What she didn't expect was that as soon as she got ashore, someone came over and scanned the shore with a flashlight.

Han Hui slipped into the space, came out only after the patrol team left, and then immediately rushed to the Huang family.

Seeing the food in the house, Han Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was all there, otherwise all her efforts would have been in vain.

When the Japanese discovered the food was missing, they immediately closed the city gates and launched a county-wide search. The front and back doors of the Huang family's house were covered in thick dust, making it clear that no one had lived there for a long time. So the Japanese didn't waste time entering to search the house.

After resting for two hours at Huang's house, Han Hui went to Yu Da's house.

Yu Da's wife was a strong-willed woman. Seeing that Yu Da had become a lackey of the Japanese, she took the two children and left. No one knew where they went. Although Han Hui knew that no one was at his house, she still lay on the roof and waited for a long time to make sure that there was no problem before entering.

According to Yu Da's confession, Han Hui found 2000 foot basin coins, 300 silver dollars, and ten small yellow croakers in his room.

Han Hui didn't believe Yu Da only took such a small amount of money, so she searched the room again. Finally, she found an iron box under a brick. Inside was 30 large yellow croakers and a sulfamethoxazole injection.

In addition to these things, Han Hui also found an account book with some documents interspersed in it, one of which was from Captain Huang.

After reading the account book, Han Hui understood why Yu Da was so rich. This guy was involved in military supplies, and all the people listed in the receipts were accomplices.

Han Hui put all the useful things such as bedding, radio, bicycle, etc. into the space, and then went to Han Yongfeng's house.

Han Yongfeng was not at home, only Zhao Meilian and her three children were there. Because the two younger ones were more than a year apart in age, they had a fight before going to bed, and finally fell asleep under Zhao Meilian's roar.

Zhao Meilian returned to her room and smelled a faint fragrance. She thought it was the scent of flowers and didn't pay much attention to it. She fell into a deep sleep after a while.

Han Hui sneaked into the house through the window and searched the bedroom from inside to outside. She found 200 foot basin coins, 1000 silver dollars, two small yellow croakers, and some gold and silver jewelry.

After putting away the valuable and portable items in the bedroom, she went to the study.

There was a safe in the study. She put the safe into the space and then pried it open violently. Inside were 2000 coins, 2000 US dollars, 20 large yellow croakers and two sulfa drugs.

She had seen coins and US dollars on the black market, but she was not sure about the sulfa. However, it must be very precious to be placed together with the yellow croaker.

In addition to these items, there are also land deeds, house deeds and a notebook that records the names of the gift givers and recipients, as well as the amounts.
