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

Chapter 15 Han Yongfeng is dead

Han Hui went to find Hei Hu. She had her own space, so she could stay there as long as she wanted, as long as she wasn't seen. However, she had been running around these days and had no time to find out what was going on. She wanted to find out about Han Yongfeng's family.

Hei Hu was so frightened when he saw Han Hui appear in his yard that he pulled her into the house and asked, "Ancestor, why are you here?"

He suspected that the commotion last night was caused by this ancestor, but he just thought about it and didn't dare say it out loud.

Han Hui feigned helplessness and said, "I've been short on money lately. I went into the city last night to get some money, and when I left, I found the riverside full of Japs and their gangs. I was planning to leave through the city gates, but I don't know what the Japs were doing, searching every house early in the morning. I was worried about getting caught, so I figured I'd come and take shelter with you, brother."

Black Tiger said: "I can't hide anyone here!"

Han Hui took out a large yellow croaker and said, "As long as you can help me avoid this, it will be yours."

Hei Hu refused. Money was important, but he was afraid that he would die if he took it.

Han Hui took out another sulfa drug from her backpack and said, "How about adding this?"

Black Tiger got excited when he saw the sulfamethoxazole and said, "Show it to me now."

He was worried it was fake.

Han Hui was not afraid that he would steal her things, so she handed the sulfa drug over to him.

Black Tiger knew about sulfanilamide, but he had never seen it before. It was too rare for him to get it at his level. "Where did you get this?"

Han Hui naturally wouldn't tell the source of the goods: "Don't worry, the goods are authentic. Brother Hei, this is a life-saving item, you have to get me out of the county."

Hei Hu agreed readily: "Okay, but I need to use sulfa right now."

Han Hui asked, "When can we leave? We can't delay too long, or I'm worried my friends will come looking for me."

Huang Shufen knew her abilities, so she wasn't too worried even if she couldn't get back in time. As for coming to look for her, Huang Shufen's bound feet couldn't go anywhere, and she only said this to Hei Hu.

Hei Hu said, "I'll send you off after dark."

"Okay," Han Hui said. She wasn't afraid of Black Tiger's trickery. If he dared to trick her, she would just send him off.

As soon as the deal was settled, Hei Hu took the sulfa drug and went out. Looking at his anxious look, it was clear that someone was waiting for this drug to save their life.

More than half an hour later, Hei Hu came back with breakfast: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I just bought something."

Han Hui glanced at him. Given the current situation, how could anyone still be selling breakfast? He probably got it from somewhere else. She didn't ask, but peeled an egg and stuffed it into her mouth. After finishing it, she picked up the meat bun.

One bite filled her mouth with the aroma of soy sauce. Han Hui had eaten buns with this flavor at a breakfast shop before. It seemed that Hei Hu hadn't lied and that he had indeed bought breakfast from outside.

Black Tiger said casually, "When I was buying breakfast just now, I heard from the boss lady that the Japanese armory had been robbed and there was not a single piece of ammunition left."

While eating delicious soy sauce-flavored steamed buns, Han Hui mumbled, "If you believe this kind of nonsense, you're a fool."

After a pause, she said, "A few days ago, I heard rumors that the Japanese warehouse was robbed and that not a single grain was left. It's possible that a few thousand kilograms of grain were stolen, but how could hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain be stolen overnight? Transporting it all is a huge problem, not to mention anything else." Hei Hu didn't believe the rumors either. He wasn't a god; how could he have stolen hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain and so much munitions in one night? As a businessman, he knew the difficulty of transporting large quantities of supplies. Because of these words, Hei Hu dispelled his suspicions about Han Hui. If she had done what she did last night, she wouldn't have been so calm and composed.

Thinking about the several thefts that had occurred in the county over the past six months, he said, "Han Yongfeng, the county magistrate's secretary, was arrested by the Japanese. I heard he was accused of embezzlement, bribery, and arms trafficking. After investigation, he was shot dead by the Japanese."

Han Hui was very satisfied with the result, but pretended to be indifferent: "You are just a running dog of the Japanese army. Let him die."

Han Yongfeng was shot to death by the Japanese devils. Zhao Meilin and her three children must have had a hard time. This can be considered as revenge for the original owner.

Hei Hu sighed, "If that thief hadn't opened the safe and scattered the documents all over the room, what Han Yongfeng did wouldn't have been exposed, and he wouldn't have died."

Han Hui paused holding the bun, then said with a smile, "Han Yongfeng is a traitor. I think he's doing the people a disservice."

Hei Hu was now certain that it was she who patronized the Han family. No wonder she was so generous. It turned out that she had robbed these traitors. Robbers are good, and all the dog traitors deserve to die.

"Woof, woof, woof..."

Hei Hu heard the barking of dogs outside and immediately picked up the steamed bun on the table and stuffed it into Han Hui's hand: "The Japanese are searching here, come with me."

Han Hui followed Hei Hu to the woodshed in the backyard. This woodshed was not only used to store firewood, but also urine buckets. The smell was foul as soon as she entered.

Hei Hu pushed aside a pile of firewood and lifted the stone slab on the ground, revealing a hole. Although he knew Han Hui was brave, he still warned her, "No matter what happens, don't make a sound. Don't come out unless I tell you to."

"Okay." Han Hui agreed and entered the secret passage.

A moment later, the Japanese kicked in the door. Han Hui, with her sharp ears, first heard the thump, thump, thump of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, followed by the clanging of hammers. It seemed the Japanese had put a lot of effort into this search. The stone slab would crack if they applied too much force, and then they would be discovered.

Watching the Japanese soldiers banging their gun butts against the ground and walls, Heihu's heart sank as he thought of the person hiding in the woodshed. If he had known the search would be so strict, he would not have taken the girl in.

After searching the room, the Japanese soldier led his men to the backyard, where they continued banging and hammering. Arriving at the woodshed, the Japanese soldier pointed at the firewood and said, "Move it away."

Hei Hu suppressed his fear and joined the second devil in carrying firewood. As he watched the devils get closer and closer to the stone slab, he knew he was in great danger. Fortunately, his parents, wife, and children were all safe in the mountains, so they wouldn't be implicated.

The butt of the rifle hit the stone slab, and with a clang, the stone slab cracked several times, revealing the dirt inside. The Japanese took a look and turned to knock on the wall.

Hei Hu thought he was doomed, but unexpectedly there was a sudden turn of events.

After searching for a while and finding nothing, the Japanese took their men away.

Hei Hu bowed and nodded as he sent the man away, but as soon as the door closed, he sat down on the ground, his legs weak and powerless. He had really just been to the underworld.

Two hours later, the Japanese soldiers left the area and Hei Hu released Han Hui. "You made the dirt under the stone slab, didn't you?"

Han Hui nodded and said, "The soil was dug temporarily, just in case. I didn't expect it would actually be used."

Hei Hu felt that she was not only skilled in martial arts but also brave and careful. No wonder she was not caught even though she stole so much money from the traitor. She was truly amazing.
