Chapter 23: Artificial Bullets
Ye Yuze was in some pain. It was okay for Yinhua. But it was really uncomfortable for Ma Rong to have her elbows on his back.
He was only eight years old, no matter how mature his mind was. But his body couldn't stand it!
At this time, Yang Geyong was also scared by the screams and walked back. He also lit the lantern.
Seeing that their scenes were a little different, he couldn't help but ask.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Yuze smiled bitterly and answered for the two girls.
"They are on vacation!"
"Hehehe!" The two girls laughed at the same time.
After laughing for a while, the two of them felt embarrassed. They climbed up from Ye Yuze.
"What are you doing here?"
Yang Geyong is still on full alert. After all, he was the one who was caught and beaten.
"I came to play with you!"
Yinhua said heartlessly. Obviously, she didn't know what happened in Ma Rong's house.
Ma Rong glanced at Ye Yuze. Then she turned her head and looked at Yang Geyong.
"Why did you want to blow up Ma Guoqing's father?"
"If you want to, just blow it up. What's the reason? I just don't like that spoon!"
Ma Rong's face immediately became stern. "He is a cadre in the company. Are you so lawless?"
Yang Geyong turned his head to the side. It seemed that he was unwilling to explain anything to a girl.
Ye Yuze was a little worried. "What did your father say?"
Ma Rong suddenly thought of something and looked at Ye Yuze.
"This matter doesn't have anything to do with you, does it?"
Ye Yuze didn't want to hide it. He answered directly.
"I stuffed the firecracker into the cigarette."
Ma Rong looked at him in surprise. Her eyes widened.
"How can you be so bad?"
Yinhua heard what they said seriously and quickly asked what happened.
Ma Rong then narrated the whole story.
After listening, Yinhua was stunned for a moment. Then she laughed. Finally, she squatted on the ground holding her stomach.
Ma Rong looked at her helplessly. She forgot a few words she wanted to blame Ye Yuze.
Yinhua was very curious at this time. They had to visit this air-raid shelter. Ma Rong also followed suit.
Yang Geyong reluctantly took the lantern and took them around the whole place.
It was really big inside. When they walked out of the cave, it was almost two hours.
Yang Geyong had not planned to go home. At this time, Ma Rong told the truth.
"Go back. Although Uncle Ma is very angry, he can't do anything to you as a child. He didn't go to your parents to complain."
Hearing this, Ye Yuze's heart was relieved. Several people went home together.
Yang Geyong and Ma Rong lived in a row of houses, so they turned directly.
Ye Yuze and Yinhua went home together. Although they were not in the same row, Yinhua's family lived in a yard to the east of Ye Yuze's row of houses.
That yard was the company's warehouse, where some daily necessities and ammunition depots were located.
Yinhua and her two families lived there. They also had the obligation to guard the warehouse.
The company often held emergency assemblies in the middle of the night, but the people guarding the warehouse naturally didn't have to follow. Just put away the warehouse.
"Where did you come back from?"
Yinhua was obviously curious about Ye Yuze.
"I came from Tangcheng. I took the train for several days. Then I had to take a car. Then I took a sled. I finally got to our company."
"Is Tangcheng fun?"
Obviously, Yinhua was curious about the outside world. She had lived in this small valley since she was born. She was only familiar with this small piece of world.
"It's fun. It's so big there."
Ye Yuze stretched out his arms and tried to describe how big it was. But obviously he couldn't do it.
Finally, he looked at the company and roughly calculated it.
"It's probably as big as hundreds of companies!"
Yinhua's little mouth opened into an O shape. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to have hundreds of companies together.
What did you play there?
The little Lolita turned into a curious baby, and the questions came one after another. Ye Yuze was almost annoyed.
In fact, he had nothing to say. Because although Tangcheng was a city, it didn't seem to be fun.
The children played with glass balls and matchbox skins together. There are also slingshots.
Sometimes we go to the park. There is a Phoenix Mountain Park in Tangcheng.
But there is really nothing to say about it. The two mountains in front and behind the company are much more majestic than the park.
Finally, we arrived at the row of houses where Ye Yuze and his family lived. Yinhua said goodbye and went home.
When Ye Yuze returned home, he had stopped drinking. The adults were playing upgrades. The children were setting off firecrackers outside.
The firecrackers of that era were not very fancy, just the kind of earth red in later generations.
But this thing made the children have a lot of fun.
They took apart the whole string of firecrackers one by one. Put them in their pockets. Holding incense in their hands.
Light one and throw it out. Then cover your ears. After hearing a "pop!" sound. Start to light another one.
Ye Yuze shook his head. He naturally disdained to play with such a stupid thing.
At this time, Wei Yuxiang came over. He took out two bullets mysteriously.
"Do you want to play with this?"
Ye Yuze's eyes lit up. He was naturally interested in this thing. But how to play this?
Wei Yuxiang handed him one. He couldn't help but laugh after a careful observation.
It turned out that this was a used bullet. Remove the primer of the eggshell. Put a firecracker wick in it.
Put some gunpowder in the eggshell. Then put the bullet head back.
What will happen if this thing is set on fire?
Ye Yuze asked Wei Yuxiang. Wei Yuxiang shook his head. Said it was his new invention. I haven't tried it yet. Don't know the result.
It seemed that Wei Yuxiang really regarded Ye Yuze as a friend. Not only did he give Ye Yuze a snowboard as a gift.
He also immediately brought his new weapon to share with Ye Yuze.
The two men found a small slope and swept away the snow on it. Then put a faux bullet on top. Carefully light the cannon.
The two people ran away quickly. And get down.
Even the kids here understand this. Just play with gunpowder. Be sure to lie down on the ground after lighting. It's so safe.
"puff!"
The artificial bullet went off as expected. But the explosion was somewhat understated. It's like farting. Not even as loud as a fart!
But the bullet was finally ejected. But the distance is a bit close. Not more than one meter away from the eggshell.
Wei Yuxiang picked it up and observed it for a while. get conclusion. This little firecracker doesn't have enough explosive power. We have to get some gunpowder from the ammunition depot.
"Can you get that out?"
Ye Yuze was a little curious. He couldn't get this thing in Tangcheng. Can't play either.
Wei Yuxiang smiled mysteriously. Don't worry about this. I'll think of a solution later.
Ye Yuze wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wei Yuxiang. He seems to have secrets that he doesn't want others to know.
At this time, the adults in the family also broke up the card game. Mom just invited Ye Yuze to go home and sleep. Ye Yuze also went back.
