Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Time flies, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

 Xiaodouzi graduated from high school and is preparing to go to middle school.

Juxian has supplemented a lot of nutrition in the past six months. Not only has she grown a lot in height, but her figure has also become much plumper.

　　Xiang Nan originally bought a cheongsam for her, but with her wizened little figure, she couldn't hold it up at all, but now it's a little bulging.

Xiang Nan then told them that he wanted to move to the south.

“Senior brother, we are staying well in the capital, why do we suddenly want to go to the south?” Xiaodouzi asked in confusion.

"Junior brother, Juxian, you must have heard that the Japanese took over the three eastern provinces last year." Xiang Nan explained, "The people in the three eastern provinces have all suffered. Now there is a word to describe them. What is it... "

“Senior brother, I know, it’s called ‘subjugated slave.’” Xiaodouzi said immediately. When they were in school, the teacher mentioned it often.

"That's right. I guess the Japanese people have a big appetite. They will not be satisfied with just occupying the three eastern provinces. They are definitely more interested in the interior of the pass." Xiang Nan explained, "And as soon as they enter the pass, the capital will bear the brunt. No one can stop it.”

As long as the Japanese occupy Shanhaiguan, there will be a vast plain, and the capital will not be defended at all. So this has been a dangerous place since ancient times.

That's why the Ming Dynasty built its capital here, just to guard the country for the emperor and to gather the strength of the whole country to guard this fortress. As long as the capital city is not lost, the nomads in the north will not be able to enter the Central Plains.

 But now that the capital of the National Government is in Jinling, there are not many troops stationed in the north, which is far from the effect of the emperor guarding the country and resisting it at all costs.

“I don’t want to be a slave to the country’s subjugation, do you?” Xiang Nan asked again.

Juxian and Xiaodouzi both shook their heads. Naturally, they didn’t want to do it either.

"That's why I want to move to the south. Do you two agree?" Xiang Nan asked the two of them again.

 They both nodded immediately.

 …

After unifying the internal opinions, Xiang Nan immediately sold the last house, which was the house they lived in now, and then took the two of them with their luggage and boarded the train heading south.

Xiang Nan carried with him money orders from major banks and the most valuable antiques and antiques he had collected.

Among them are Wang Xizhi's "Quick Snow and Clear Tie", Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Tie", Wang Xun's "Boyuan Tie", Han Huang's "Five Cows", Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu", Yu Shinan's "Linlan Pavilion" "Preface", Wang Ximeng's "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", Yan Liben's "Stepping Chariot", and so on.

These calligraphy and paintings are light, expensive, easy to carry and easy to hide. And more antiques, such as Ru kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln, blue and white, pastel, doucai, ancient jade, jade seal, Tianhuang, ivory carving, lacquerware, bronze...

There were three large carriages. Because they were large and heavy, they were inconvenient to carry. Therefore, Xiang Nan hid them all in the safest and most unexpected place. He would slowly take them out when he had the opportunity to return to China in the future.

 After the three of them set out on the road, the road was actually not peaceful.

Car gangsters, road bullies, gangsters, policemen, hooligans, scoundrels, liars, and thieves abound.

To avoid trouble, Xiang Nan gave all three of them disguises and make-up.

He disguised himself as a burly man, a head taller and an arm taller, with splayed eyebrows, triangular eyes, a fleshy face, and dragons and tigers painted on his body. He was not easy to mess with at first glance.

Xiaodouzi and Juxian were both ugly by him. Little Douzi has a pockmarked face, and the pockmarks are nested within small pockmarks, and the small pockmarks are nested within small pockmarks. There are pits in the pockmarks, and there are hairs growing in the pits. Juxian, on the other hand, disguises herself as an ugly girl with a sallow face, heavy eyebrows, small eyes, nostrils pointing upward, and teeth stuck out. With this look, whoever looks at it is disgusting.

The three of them pretended not to know each other. After getting in the car, Xiang Nan sat outside, Juxian was in the middle, and Xiaodouzi was in the innermost.

In this way, if car bandits, hooligans, liars, thieves and the like come to cause trouble, Xiang Nan will be dispatched outside. He is an old man, so it is easy to get rid of these people.

 And to be honest, with his appearance, not many people would dare to provoke him.

 After all, liars, thieves, hooligans, and car thieves are all bullies and thieves. A boss like Xiang Nan, who paints dragons and embroiders with phoenixes, looks askance at people, is not easy to deal with at first sight.

They can't bully those honest pedestrians, so why bother to provoke Xiang Nan. Therefore, although they encountered many bad guys along the way, basically nothing happened to the trio of Xiang Nan.

 …

“Senior brother, your skills are really amazing.” Xiaodouzi gave a thumbs up and said with a smile.

“Master, you still have a way.” Juxian also said with admiration.

They saw a lot of evil people doing bad things along the way, such as some who extorted money in broad daylight, some who stole people's things blatantly, some who defrauded people of money with sweet talk, and some who pretended to be good people and abducted women...

More than half of the hundreds of people in the carriage were in trouble. Only in their line of work, no one dares to come and stir up trouble. Therefore, the journey was uneventful and we successfully arrived in Guangdong from the capital.

 The three of them rested in Guangdong for two days, and then hit the road again to Macau.

 After arriving in Macau, the three of them first settled in a hotel, and then Xiang Nan started planning to buy a house.

 With his worth of one million, it is not difficult to buy a house.

Soon, Xiang Nan bought a garden house on Nanwan North Road. The two-story western-style building covers an area of ​​300 square meters, with a usable area of ​​more than 500 square meters. Plus a 200-square-meter garden, it can be said to be a pretty good mansion.

This house was originally built by a Portuguese businessman, but unfortunately, his business accidentally went bankrupt two years ago, so he had to mortgage the mansion to the bank.

Later, this foreign-style building was bought by a businessman at a high price. As a result, the business also encountered problems after the purchase. Over and over again, people said that the feng shui of this house was unlucky, so they were unwilling to take over it, leaving it empty for more than half a year. No one took over.

Xiang Nan is not afraid of the theory of Feng Shui. Firstly, "Farewell My Concubine" itself does not involve supernatural beings. Secondly, even if the Feng Shui is really bad, he can turn things around with his ability, so he spent money to buy it.

After buying it, Xiang Nan hired a group of craftsmen to do a lot of construction work in the villa. It was called changing the feng shui, but in fact he was digging a storage room under the house.

During World War II, although Macau did not experience war, it did experience a famine that lasted for several years.

In 1938, Guangdong Province fell, and countless people from eastern Guangdong flocked to Macau to escape the war. The population of Macau suddenly increased from 160,000 to 700,000.

However, in order to plunder resources, the Japanese strictly restricted food transportation, causing a famine that lasted for several years in Macau. Tens of thousands of people died of hunger every year. Every day, the corpse collection team collected three to four hundred bodies from the city. The corpse can be said to be horrific.

 That's why Xiang Nan wanted to store more food to avoid falling into a big famine.
