Chapter 49: Ready

"Aunt Fu Bofu, don't be busy yet, sit down and have a cup of tea, and talk to me." After dinner, Lu Yuan rarely did not go into the study immediately, but beckoned the housekeeper Fu Bo, who was busy cleaning up the dinner table, to sit down and drink tea and chat with him. The two of them could sit down where they didn't know what to do, but it was only because of Lu Yuan's insistence that the two of them sat down as they said.

Lu Yuan smiled at this time, "Fu Bo, don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just that it's not peaceful outside recently, you and Aunt Fu don't go out if you have nothing to do." Even when you have to go out to buy vegetables, it's best not to go far away, our backyard is about to be free, if you have time, open that place into a vegetable patch, so that you don't have to go out to buy vegetables. Lu Yuan's brainless words were confused, the place in the backyard is where Lu Yuan usually exercises and conducts tactical training, even Fu Bo himself will not go to the backyard easily, why is this going to be cut into a vegetable field?

Lu Yuan's words made Fu Bo, who had just passed the age of not being confused, a little anxious, and then said to Lu Yuan, "Young master, you are a good person, you might as well say anything you have to say." Although the two of us don't know a few words, but who is good and who is bad can still be understood, if you have any hurdles that you can't pass, just tell us, as the old saying goes, three stinkers can still top a Zhuge Liang, maybe we can also help you think of a solution. ”

Lu Yuan is very grateful for Fu Bo's outspokenness, since he hired Fu Bo and his family, his quality of life has been greatly improved, and there are many trivial things to worry about, but he doesn't know how to mention the war that is about to break out in Shanghai to Fu Bo and his family. After pondering for a while, Lu Yuan still decided to tell the truth to Fu Bo and the others, signaling Fu Bo and the two to be calm, and Lu Yuan went to the basement to bring up a box.

When the box was opened, it was full of iron parts that Fu Bo and his family didn't know, but as Lu Yuan assembled it, soon, a rifle with a unique shape appeared on the table. "Japan invaded China and wantonly robbed our Chinese resources and slaughtered us Chinese, and I came back from abroad in order to kill devils. The foreigners who came to our house a few days ago, including the German military, told me that in the near future, the Japanese army would launch a full-scale attack in Shanghai, and I stayed in Shanghai in order to participate in this war. ”

The rifle that Lu Yuan assembled and the words just now had already made Fu Bo and his family frightened and didn't know what to say, and after a while, Fu Bo asked Lu Lu in a trembling voice, "Young Master, after all, fighting a war is a matter for the army, can't we not participate in this matter?" The government keeps those armies, and you are not inferior to you, besides, even if there is an extra gun of you on the battlefield, the national army still has to lose the battle when it should be defeated. ”

"It's different, Fauber, that's different." Lu Yuan shook his head vigorously, and his eyes that had been closed were already full of water vapor. "I am a Chinese with the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and I cannot and will not allow the Japanese to invade our country. What you just said is right, even if there is more of my gun on the battlefield, it will not affect the overall situation, but I want to say that if everyone thinks like you just did, then there is really no hope for our country and our nation. ”

Lu Yuan had no way to tell Fu Bo about the Nanjing Massacre that had not yet happened, and he had no way to tell Fu Bo more tragedies, so he could only cry silently. "Fauber, although I am just a person and an ordinary person, I am willing to give my strength for the country and the nation. I have prepared so much for this day, I must let the damned Japanese know that China is not easy to bully, and Chinese are not easy to bully. ”

"Young master, having said that, but the battlefield is dangerous, you are not yet 20 years old, in case there is any accident on the battlefield, the bullet is not long-eyed, and it doesn't know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy." Seeing Lu Yuan's face full of tears, Aunt Fu, who has never liked to talk, couldn't cry anymore, and she didn't let go of Lu Yuan's hands, for fear that once she let go, Lu Yuan would never come back.

"Aunt Fu, it's okay, don't you also see that I've been exercising in the backyard every day for a while, my body is now much stronger than most of the soldiers of the national army. Having said, you see, the gun in my hand is not a burning stick. Lu Yuan patted Aunt Fu's hand comfortingly, and gently comforted Aunt Fu with a sad face. What's more, when I was abroad, I consulted many veterans from foreign countries, and I was also trained by them, and when it came to the ability to fight wars, I was comparable to ordinary officers. ”

It is impossible for Lu Yuan to tell the Fubo couple that he is a veteran from the later generations, so he can only pretend to settle on his own imaginary foreign experience in many places where the Fubo and his wife look abnormal, anyway, the Fubo couple have no way of knowing whether they are overseas Chinese who came back from abroad. Seeing that Lu Yuan had already made up his mind, Fu Bo and the two looked at each other, knowing that they could not persuade Lu Yuan to change his decision, so he had to sigh and bear it in his heart.

"Fauber, the outbreak of war may be in the next few days, and you will come back with more money and buy more beef in a while. Starting tomorrow, I may be away for a few days, and Aunt Fu will use this beef to make me more dry food, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a place to eat by then. After Fu Bo's emotions slowly stabilized, Lu Yuan told Fu Bo one by one about the things he had thought of last night. For Lu Yuan, the most important point was to prepare dry food, and he didn't want to put himself in danger because of food problems in the war zone.

"Okay, okay, old man, you will go in a while, buy more beef and come back, and make braised pork jerky for the young master, this thing is full and can be left for a few days without breaking." Hearing that Lu Yuan was going to prepare dry food in advance, Aunt Fu finally had the spirit, cooking was her forte, and her family had opened a braised meat shop earlier.

"Fauber, there's one more thing." As Lu Yuan spoke, he took out a thick stack of dollars and two large yellow croaker gold bars and put them on the table. "After I leave, you should buy enough food and daily necessities in advance to avoid danger when you go out after the outbreak of war. There's about 500 dollars and two big yellow croakers, and I mean, if you think Shanghai is too dangerous, and you have somewhere you want to go, get out of Shanghai as soon as possible before the war breaks out, and I'm worried about your safety. ”

Looking at the stack of dollars and gold bars on the table, Fu Bo laughed and reached out to return the dollars and gold bars to Lu Yuan. "Young master, you are a kind-hearted person, we are both old, we don't want to toss anymore, if you don't dislike our old arms and legs, we plan to stay here for you to look after." As he spoke, Fu Bo winked at Lu Yuan and smiled, "Why do you say that this is also a concession, no matter how rampant the little Japanese are, I don't believe they dare to continue to be rampant in this concession, it's a big deal, we just don't go out." ”

Fu Bo's words made Lu Yuan laugh, that's right, this is the concession, and before Japan completely tears its face with the United States, the Japanese will not dare to blatantly do things in the concession. "Fauber, the two Germans who often come to my house are Hogg and Schuchmann, you know. I have sent them all to Nanking, and tomorrow Mr. Hansen, the owner of the Rose Cabinet Bar, will send his men to escort Hogg and Schuchmann's family to our house for a while. You and Aunt Fu don't have to pay too much attention to them, just treat them as neighbors, anyway, they won't live in our house for long, at most half a year. ”

"Young master, what are you talking about, no matter whether they are from our family for a while, since they have come to our house, they are our guests, how can they treat guests as neighbors. Don't shut down these things, as long as they come to our house, Guan Bao won't ask those two Germans to come back and pick up our family's affairs. Fu Bo smiled at Lu Yuan nonchalantly, in his opinion, such a big house can be considered lively if there are more people.

"And then there's my basement, where I've put away some sensitive magazines, and whether anyone asks about it in the future, you just remember that place is where I do crafts in my spare time." There are mechanical equipment in the basement, which is a big hidden danger for Fu Bo who stayed in the detention center, so Lu Yuan has carefully cleaned the basement last night, and the leftovers and traces of some modified firearms have been erased, and they have been replaced by some metal gears and screws and other debris.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing to continue to tell Fu Bo, so Lu Yuan immediately left the residence to meet Xu Huanshan. With the outbreak of the war, many of the activities of the underground party in Shanghai have also gone underground, but the connection between them and Lu Yuan has not been broken, and Xu Huanshan is still responsible for liaising with Lu Yuan. "I said, why did you kid suddenly remember to ask for this thing? You're not going to take refuge with the Japanese, are you? As soon as the two met, Xu Huanshan joked to Lu Yuan half-truthfully.

"Forget it, Lao Xu, if I didn't say you, you are not suitable for underground intelligence work at all, because you will not hide your thoughts at all, and it is too easy for your opponent to see through." Stretching out his hand to take the few documents handed over by Xu Huanshan, Lu Yuan opened them casually and looked at them a few times, and then put them in his pocket. Taking these documents from Xu Huanshan is the main purpose of Lu Yuan's meeting with Xu Huanshan today, and it is also the main reason why Xu Huanshan said what he said just now.

Xu Huanshan just couldn't understand why Lu Yuan asked the Shanghai underground party to get a few documents for Japanese expatriates, so as soon as he met Lu Yuan just now, he asked Lu Yuan in a joking tone, but Lu Yuan didn't respond to his quip. Of course, Lu Yuan would not tell Xu Huanshan his true purpose, because he wanted to disguise himself as a Japanese expatriate to enter the Japanese Concession before the outbreak of war, and once the war broke out, Lu Yuan would follow in the Japanese Concession, and what could be more enjoyable than killing the enemy within the Japanese.
