Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

Chapter 24 Making a Bag for Su Mingrui

"But it was my fault that you got bitten, and you haven't been vaccinated yet." Yu Congcong said guiltily.

"It's okay, Congcong, don't worry. Didn't Grandpa Nan say that the army has sent vaccines here?" Tiezhu couldn't bear to see Yu Congcong's sad expression, so he quickly comforted her.

"Yes, Master said it will be delivered tomorrow." Su Mingrui also responded. As the three of them were talking, they came to Nan Yi. Nan Yi was discussing with An Ying who was going to contact Hei Zi.

"Grandpa Nan!" Yu Congcong ran over happily. "Congcong is here, go over there and get some rice cakes. Dark Eagle just brought them here today, they are still fresh." Nan Yi greeted Yu Congcong and said gently.

"Tiezhu and Mingrui, come and tell me what happened yesterday." Nan Yi's face changed instantly and he said to Tiezhu and Su Mingrui.

"Grandpa Nan, this is Heizi's stuff." Tiezhu handed the knife to Nanyi, trying to change the subject. Anying looked at the knife, his eyes darkened, and he took it and looked at it, his face became even uglier.

"Dark Eagle, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this knife?" Nan Yi asked.

"General, you may not have this memory. This is the sword of the Kurosawa family. Look here, this is the logo of the Kurosawa family." Dark Eagle said, pointing to an icon on the sword.

"Then this Heizi might be a member of the Kurosawa family." Nan Yi pondered.

"It must be. Look, his name is Heizi. They definitely don't want to give up their family name." Yu Congcong interrupted.

"Yeah, Congcong is right." Tiezhu agreed.

"Is the Kurosawa family big? What kind of a figure are they in Japan?" Su Mingrui asked.

"The Kurosawa family is large, with many branches. It is considered the king branch in Japan. The conflicts are also severe, but their productivity is very low, so they pay special attention to the children of the family." Dark Eagle said in a deep voice.

Everyone was silent.

"Mingrui, you must go to the UK. The country may not be safe, and your master may not be able to protect you. Wait until you get the vaccine tomorrow and then transfer immediately." Nan Yi said in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Su Mingrui nodded in response without any emotion. Nan Yi was shocked, wondering about the change in Su Mingrui's attitude between this morning and this afternoon, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Dark Eagle, do you think Heizi and the others are enemy spies or simply human traffickers?" Nan Yi said.

"General, we didn't find any traces of Fourth Uncle and his men being enemy spies."

“But it doesn’t rule out that they are not.”

"Well, you arrange the transfer of the Octavia. Send them secretly to England." Dark Eagle saluted and left.

Su Mingrui was in a very low mood, and Tiezhu and Yu Congcong were also in a bad mood.

"Don't let your mood get affected. Mingrui should go to the UK for a few years and come back when the domestic situation improves." Nan Yi looked at them and advised.

"Go do what you need to do. Don't stay here with me." Grandpa Nan came over, scolding and laughing.

The three of them came back home from Nan Yi's place, told grandma that Su Mingrui was going to England, and then went to Tie Zhu's house again. Fu Youtian knew about it, and sighed, "Mingrui, you have to be careful when you go out. People have hope only when they are alive. Don't worry too much about anything. The most important thing is to be happy!" Fu Youtian looked at Su Mingrui and taught him. Such a young child has to live alone in a strange place. I don't know if there will be anyone to teach this child how to behave in the future. There are many things I want to teach him, but I don't know where to start. Oh, forget it, it depends on luck!

"Mingrui, pack your things. Take the important things with you. You may not be able to take too much. See if there's anything you want in particular. We have some here, and grandpa will prepare it for you. I'll tan those wolfskins for you as soon as possible. They should be useful when you're abroad." Fu Youtian said.

"Grandpa Patriarch, you don't have to bother. I don't want anything in particular. Give those wolf skins to Tiezhu and Congcong!"

"We don't want it. You can take it away and use it to build relationships. It may not be rare here, but it will definitely be popular abroad." Yu Congcong said anxiously.

"Yes, yes, take it with you. We won't starve to death at home. It's not certain if you're alone abroad. We don't know whether your mother's friends are good or bad. You should keep some things for yourself." Tiezhu also said.

"Okay!" Su Mingrui said and went to pack up his things. Tiezhu went to help his grandfather with work, and Yu Congcong went home.

"Grandma, what are you doing?" Yu Congcong asked when he returned home.

"Grandma wants to give Su Mingrui a cloth bag to wrap his valuables." Xiao Cao said as she worked without stopping, threading the needle. Looking at the bag in grandma's hand, it looks like a crossbody bag, not big enough to hold much. Hey, I can make a backpack for grandma to put some larger things in, and it can hold more. Grandma can put some valuables in this. He did it right away, and found a half-burned twig from the kitchen and started drawing on paper.

After a while, the painting was finished and I showed it to my grandma. "Grandma, can you make this?"

Xiao Cao looked at it and asked, "How is this seal handled?"

Yu Congcong looked at it and realized that there was no zipper. How to deal with it? Yes, you can use a drawstring.

"Grandma, sew a gap here, and then take two long straps and cross them through here, and then pull it to seal it." Xiaocao thought it was feasible and started to act. Yu Congcong explained on the side.

"Mom, Congcong, what are you doing?" Yu Dazhuang asked curiously as he saw that it was almost dark and his mother hadn't cooked yet.

"Dad, you're back. Mingrui is going to England." Yu Congcong said.

"Yes, Dad knows. Dad has been to your Grandpa Nan's place." Yu Dazhuang replied.

"We are making a backpack for Mingrui." Xiaocao said to Yu Dazhuang. Yu Dazhuang was confused and didn't ask any more questions.

"You guys are busy. When it gets dark, light the oil lamp and I'll go cook." After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen.

"How about seeing it?" Xiaocao asked.

"Yeah, that's what grandma does. Just add a pair of shoulder straps and it will be fine." Yu Congcong said happily.

"Let's make the shoulder straps tomorrow." Xiaocao looked up at the sky and said.

"It's time to eat." Yu Dazhuang called from the kitchen.

"Well, let's go eat." Yu Congcong took her grandmother's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

"Mom, are you ready for that backpack?" Yu Dazhuang asked.

"Almost done." Xiaocao responded.

"Have you made all the arrangements over there?" Xiaocao asked.

"Well, it's almost done. Now we just need to determine when Fourth Uncle and the others will set off. It would be better if we can arrange it in advance. It takes too much time to transmit messages here, and I'm afraid I'll miss the opportunity." Yu Dazhuang said.

"Well, I'll go and get some information tomorrow," Xiao Cao said. After hearing her grandmother's answer, Yu Cong Cong looked at her in surprise, and was very curious about how she would get some information.

"Okay, it doesn't hurt to give it a try." Yu Dazhuang said. After dinner, grandma sorted out the unfinished backpack and went to rest.

"Eat quickly, then go to Tiezhu's house to play." Xiaocao urged.

"Grandma, I'll go with you." Yu Congcong said coquettishly.

"No." Xiaocao refused firmly.

Yu Congcong curled her lips and said nothing more, but she ate faster. After finishing her meal, she ran out. "Don't run after you've just finished your meal." Xiaocao warned.

"I understand." Yu Congcong answered while running.

"Tiezhu, have you finished eating?" Yu Congcong shouted hurriedly as soon as he arrived in the yard.

"No, I'm eating right now." Tiezhu swallowed the porridge and answered. After that, he quickened his pace and gulped down the whole bowl of porridge in one breath. He ran out of the kitchen and came to Yu Congcong. He asked anxiously, "Congcong, what's wrong?"

"Let's go to Fourth Uncle's house and eavesdrop." Yu Congcong replied in a low voice.

"Ah, there is no hiding place at Fourth Uncle's place." Tiezhu replied.

"Let's go and have a look." Yu Congcong said without giving up. She pulled Tiezhu and walked towards Fourth Uncle's house. When they arrived at Fourth Uncle's house, there was no one around. He built a wall around the house and kept the area very clean. He probably knew that he was hated, so he was afraid of being harmed, so he cleaned the area so cleanly.

Yu Congcong was a little disappointed. After walking around, she didn't find a place where she could listen to the corner. She could only go to the yard to hear the voices. Yu Congcong found a tree with a branch that stretched into the yard. "Tiezhu, I'll climb up the tree to see if I can hear any sound." Yu Congcong pointed to a tree and said. Without waiting for Tiezhu to answer, she walked towards the tree. With the experience of the day before, Yu Congcong made great progress in climbing trees. She held the tree with both hands, moved her feet upward, clamped the trunk with both feet, and moved her hands upward. She climbed up the tree slowly. Then she waved to Tiezhu, who took a run-up and climbed up the tree in two or three steps. Yu Congcong pouted and looked at her enviously. She could vaguely hear a little sound from the tree, but she couldn't hear it clearly. Yu Congcong climbed to the branch over there. She tried to control her fear and moved little by little. When she moved to the branches, the branches shook, and Yu Congcong knew she couldn't go forward. The voices in the room became clearer. "Are you going out this time?" It was my fourth uncle's voice. "I'm not going. Go see your son!" A woman's voice came. There was a knock on the door. "I'll go open the door." It was the woman's voice again.

Then there were footsteps.

Tiezhu saw Yu Congcong sitting there listening attentively, and felt a little itchy, so he wanted to go over as well. Yu Congcong waved her hand, signaling him not to come over.

"Sister-in-law, have you eaten?" It was grandma's voice.

"I'm eating. Have you eaten?" the woman asked.

"Well, I have something to talk to my fourth brother about. Is he at home?" Xiaocao asked.

"He's here, eating. Come in and talk." The sound of two people walking was heard.

"Fourth brother, are you eating now?" Xiaocao said.

"Well, why is my sister-in-law here?" said the fourth uncle.

"Fourth brother, I'm worried. What do you think should happen to Dazhuang? He's so old, it's hard for him to find a wife." Xiaocao said crying.

"Just buy him one." Uncle Si said disapprovingly.

"Fourth brother, we have no money. The previous one emptied the family!" Xiaocao said in a crying voice. Fourth uncle felt a headache when he heard the tone.

"Erlangzi said that he wants eight thousand each this year. Where can a widow like me find so much money?" As she said this, she started crying. The sound of her crying was so sad that anyone who heard it would cry.
