A Fictional Version of the Republic of China (3)
Seven-year-old Ji Changze has a new goal: to make the country strong.
Why is it a new goal? Because he has set many goals before, such as reading a book a day, doing the Five Animals Exercises every morning, brushing teeth in the morning and evening, and running around the village before going to bed at night.
The previous goals were naturally achieved smoothly. In addition to Ji Changze's words, there is another very important reason, that is, he will make various plans for his goals.
What plans are needed to make the country strong?
The child sat at the door of Xue Wuye's house with his chin in his hand, looking at the red sun in the sky.
Xue Wuye said that their country was called Da Zheng before, but later, Da Zheng was gone, and everything was in chaos, so he had a new name, called Huaguo.
Huaguo currently has more than just this name. According to Xue Wuye, the country is now torn apart, with pieces here and there. Some places are occupied by foreigners and established some kind of government, and some places are occupied by Chinese and established some kind of government.
According to Master Xue Wu, the current situation is a big mess.
The foreigners are still acting recklessly in their territory, and the common people are having a hard time. In fact, their side is peaceful because this is the territory of a great commander who is a local and does not allow his subordinates to wreak havoc like some other soldiers.
Therefore, many families in their village can still eat eggs during the New Year, while many ordinary people in other areas can't even eat rice bran, let alone eggs.
Ji Changze listened to Master Xue Wu's explanation of various reasons and made a summary in his mind.
To put it bluntly, they just can't beat them.
Because they can't beat the foreigners, they have to do whatever they are asked to do. Because they can't beat the foreigners, even if people from other countries fight in their territory, they can only endure it.
Therefore, Ji Changze divided his big goal of becoming a powerful country into small goals.
The first thing to bear is to work hard to develop in the field of weapons.
The reason why the Chinese couldn't beat the foreigners was not because they had fewer people, but because the foreigners had more weapons. I heard from Master Xue Wu that there was a kind of plane called a bomber, which flew into the sky and dropped bombs.
It was useless for people to run for their lives. Those bombs were so powerful that even if they didn't fall on people, they could still blow people to pieces.
Ji Changze knew what torn to pieces meant, but he had never seen it, so he couldn't imagine it. He was still a little naive and thought that when he developed such weapons, those foreigners would no longer be able to bully people like this.
So, the goal changed from becoming a strong country to developing weapons, and then to figuring out how to develop weapons.
After thinking it through, the child ran into the house with a heroic spirit.
"Weapons? I don't know how to do that."
After listening to Ji Changze's remarks that "a strong country must have powerful weapons", Master Xue Wu laughed for a long time, and tears were about to come out of his eyes. He coughed a few times under the dissatisfied eyes of the little bean in front of him, indicating that he had never studied this aspect at all.
"Will you not know it, Master Wu? But aren't you a scholar, a person with university knowledge?"
Master Wu Xue laughed again.
"Reading a book doesn't mean you know everything. There are so many things to learn in the world. Even if you learn every day, you can't learn everything in hundreds of years."
Ji Changze was very depressed: "Oh."
"Then Master Wu, I'm going home. Thank you for teaching me today."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Master Wu Xue asked: "You are leaving now, don't you want to learn to make weapons?"
Ji Changze doesn't look like the kind of person who retreats when faced with difficulties.
"Of course I have to learn, but Master Wu in the village can't teach me, and other people can't teach me even more. I'll go to the city tomorrow and ask where I can learn."
Master Wu Xue knew it was like this.
I don't know where this kid has cultivated his temperament. He is obviously a small person, but he is very patient and perseverant. Even if he can't do what he wants to do at the moment, he can do everything he can to make it.
It's really the opposite of his second cousin. I don't know how these two completely different temperaments became a family.
"Okay, okay, just remember, don't ask around. Although you are young, most people won't bother with you, but now is a chaotic time. If you say something wrong, be careful that others will be rude to you."
"Do you think I am stupid, Fifth Master? I know all this. It is precisely because I am young that I have to take advantage of others' contempt to ask more, learn more, and see more. Otherwise, when I grow up, I will no longer be as alert as I am now."
"Just like you, Fifth Master, you have lived in the village for a few years, but you are still alert to everyone you see and don't want to interact with others. It's because I was young when I pestered you, and you thought I didn't know anything, so you were willing to talk to me more. I know all this."
After Ji Changze said goodbye to Fifth Master Xue and took his sister's hand out, Fifth Master Xue was still a little dazed.
He knew that Ji Changze was smart a long time ago.
He didn't expect that he was only a few years old at the time, but he could see this.
This child is really not an ordinary person.
Thinking of how he had just vowed to make the country strong again, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Xue Wuye's heart.
Maybe, maybe he can really do it?
****
"I want to go to the city tomorrow."
As soon as Ji Changze got home, he pulled Old Lady Wang's sleeve and made his request.
The crying child gets candy. He always asks for what he wants openly. Anyway, it would be best if his family is willing to give it to him. If not, he would find a way to get it himself.
Grandma Wang showed a surprised look on her face: "Our Changze also wants to go to the city to play?"
Also?
Ji Changze frowned slightly: "Grandma, who else wants to go to the city?"
"Your second brother, he also said he wanted to go to the city when he woke up today, so how about this, grandma let your second brother take you to the city?"
In today's village, a teenager is already considered a half-grown young man, and can replace adults.
Ji Changze refused: "No, grandma, my second brother doesn't like me at all, I'm afraid he will take me to the city and abandon me again."
Grandma Wang just thought that he was beaten by his second brother yesterday and still had a shadow, so she touched her grandson's head lovingly: "How could it be, your second brother won't do this, you are his younger brother."
Come on.
Most people would definitely not do this, after all, the whole family knows that they don't get along, and if Ji Changze is really lost, he will be the first to suffer.
But the second brother is different. This guy is stupid and dumb. He doesn't know how to cover up when he does bad things. He might really do something like losing Ji Changze, and then stupidly think that as long as he tells a lie casually, no one will find out that he did it on purpose.
Ji Changze is not afraid of his second brother, but he is afraid of trouble.
He hugged the sleeves of Grandma Wang, raised his little face pitifully, and his eyes suddenly turned red: "Grandma, please, Grandma, Changze doesn't want to be with the second brother. The second brother is so fierce, Changze is afraid."
"Oh my little darling, it seems that our little darling was really scared yesterday."
Looking at the little grandson with pleading eyes, Grandma Wang's heart softened immediately, picked him up and coaxed: "Okay, okay, grandma won't let the second brother take you."
Ji Changze took the opportunity to say: "Don't we send someone out to buy some things on this day of every month? Who will go today? Let me follow him."
"It's your second brother who goes today."
Ji Changze: "?"
Ji Zhuzi?
He is so stupid, how can he remember what to buy?
Grandma Wang explained to her little grandson softly: "Your second brother is old enough, it's time for him to help the family, but he is injured and can't do farm work. He also wants to go to the city, so let him go to the city to buy things."
The culprit who caused Ji Zhuzi's injury looked even more pitiful, and his little hand softly circled Grandma Wang's neck: "Grandma, can I go by myself? I don't want to go with my second brother."
"No, no, you have only been there once or twice, and you are not familiar with the road. And you are young. If you meet refugees on the road, they will kill and eat you and cook you in the pot."
Grandma Wang's threats were useless to Ji Changze.
But he knew that since Old Lady Wang loved him so much, it was impossible for her to let him, who was only seven years old, go to the city alone. He thought about it and changed his words: "I suddenly remembered that Master Xue Wu was going to the city today, so why don't I go with him?"
"Master Xue Wu."
Old Lady Wang respected Master Xue Wu very much. In addition to the fact that he was a scholar, another reason was that Master Xue Wu taught her grandson [for free].
The word "free" was emphasized.
Such a person who was willing to teach her children without seeking fame or profit and without charging a penny must be a great good person.
Such a reliable good person, of course, must be trusted.
"Okay, then, you go to the chicken coop to pick up an egg and send it to him, and ask him to take you to the city."
"No need, I took Changying to pick bird eggs yesterday, and I'll give the bird eggs to Master Wu. Changze wants to go to the city to play, and he can't spend the things at home."
The good grandson was so sensible, and Old Lady Wang looked at him with even more love.
How could he be so obedient and sensible?
She was immersed in "My good grandson is so good and so good". Ji Zhuzi, who had been bored in the house for the whole morning, came out. As soon as he arrived in the yard, he said, "Grandma, the road to the city is far, and it's too tiring to carry so many things back. How about you give me an egg and I'll go hire a cart."
Grandma Wang looked at Ji Zhuzi with disgust.
"You are so old, and you can't even carry some things? If you can't, don't go, let your third uncle go."
Ji Zhuzi: "..."
Even though he was reborn several years ago, he was still not used to this grandma who didn't give him everything he wanted like in his previous life.
He must go to the city.
He could only hold his breath, bit his back teeth, and went back to the house with a stiff and ferocious face.
If he just went back to the house, it would not be Ji Changze's business.
But who made Ji Zhuzi glare at him before entering the house.
Ji Changze couldn't stand this anger.
He snorted in his heart and hugged his grandma's neck tighter.
She whispered very quietly: "Grandma, my brother wants a cart because he feels tired. He has never worked since he was a child. It is normal that he cannot bear the hardship. Why don't you give him an egg? I think he seems to be angry with grandma."
Grandma Wang accurately extracted the key words.
[From childhood to adulthood][never worked][angry with her].
You little bastard.
I worked hard to raise you. People of your age have gone to work in the fields, but you are still enjoying yourself at home all day. You live such a comfortable life, and you still have the nerve to be angry?
"Don't worry about him, he is spoiled."
The child said softly: "I can't ignore my brother. If he is angry, he will be angry for a long time. Grandma has to coax him. He will not be angry until he eats delicious food."
Grandma Wang: "..."
It seems so.
Ji Zhuzi always gets angry for no apparent reason, and always needs someone to coax her, or to coax her with food.
Now that she thinks about it, she thinks it’s not right.
This brat, wouldn’t he pretend to be angry to get free food and drinks?
Ji Changze continued: “Brother must be angry, otherwise why didn’t he ask for a cart when uncle and dad went to the city to buy things? He might be angry about being beaten yesterday. Otherwise, I’ll go and apologize to brother. If I apologize, brother might forgive grandma.”
Old Lady Wang: “…”
Forgive…her?
Why should the little bastard [forgive] her?
He’s a heartless person, thinking that the city is far away and the things are heavy. Why didn’t he ask for a cart when other people in the family went to buy things before? Now it’s his turn to ask for a cart.
White-eyed wolf.
The more Old Lady Wang thought about it, the angrier she got, and the angrier she got, the more she thought about it.
She was originally at the top of the food chain at home, so how could she bear it now? She immediately put the little grandson in her arms gently on the ground.
Ji Changze said obediently: "Grandma, are you going to apologize to your brother? Your brother is so fierce, Changze feels sorry for you, why don't you let Changze go for your grandmother."
"Good boy Changze, grandma is not going to apologize, don't worry."
After saying that, Grandma Wang touched her grandson's head with a gentle face, turned around, and suddenly changed her face. She looked around, picked up the fire stick, weighed it in her hand, felt it was very easy to use, and went into the house with a fierce face.
In a few seconds, Ji Zhuzi's screams came from the house.
"Granny!!! Why did you hit me!! I didn't provoke you!! "
"Ah!!! It hurts!! What did you do! Did Ji Changze complain to me that I glared at him?!"
Then came the fierce voice of Old Lady Wang; "You still?! You still glared at your brother?! I told you to glare! I told you to glare!! I told you to ask for eggs! I told you to be weird all day long!! "
Ji Changze sat obediently on the chair, propping up his chin and enjoying his cousin's sweet screams.
Humph.
Let him glare at me.
Annoying guy.
However, this annoying guy has always been too lazy to take an extra step. Why would he suddenly want to go to the city? He doesn't know anyone in the city, what is he going to do in the city?
Ji Changze kept a bottom line in his heart, reminding himself to remember this point, and then went into his hut, searched and found the slingshot he used for self-defense, as well as the bird eggs and small fruits he saved, and put them all in the bag he carried with him, and then trotted out.
Running all the way to the big tree at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village, Ji Changze tied a long red ribbon from his bag to the tree.
He exchanged this ribbon with someone for the bird egg. It was said that it was taken from the wedding dress of a bride from the next village. It was said that the man she was engaged to went to the battlefield and agreed to come back to get married, but the news of his death came back. The bride couldn't bear the blow and almost went crazy that day and cut all the precious wedding dress into pieces.
The tattered wedding dress was thrown into the river, and then it was picked up by a child from the next village and exchanged to Ji Changze.
The terrain of their village is a slope, with the highest point at the head of the village and the lowest point at the end of the village. The tree is tall and big, so no matter where you stand in the village, you can see the tree.
Not long after the red ribbon was tied, two children came running.
"Boss! Boss! We are here!"
Ji Changze sat on the tree, looking down at his little follower, with a satisfied look on his face: "Well, very good, you two are the fastest, so let's tie for first place, and each of you will get a bird egg as a reward."
The two children immediately showed excitement on their faces, and quickly stood up and said to Ji Changze: "Thank you, Boss, we will be faster next time!"
A few minutes later, another child ran over.
Because he was the third, he only had half a bird egg, but he was also very happy, holding half a cooked bird egg and eating it carefully.
The children who came later found that the first three had already had it, and they couldn't help showing disappointment on their faces, but they all stood up.
When the last child came, Ji Changze slid down from the tree, with his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth in front of them seriously.
The oldest of these children was eight or nine years old, and the youngest was seven years old. Everyone stood there obediently and let Ji Changze look at them.
Seeing that they were silent and just waiting for him to speak, Ji Changze was satisfied and told them the purpose of calling them:
"I called you here today for two things."
"First, I am going to the city today. If you have anything to bring or a message, tell me later."
"Second, I want to tell you that you have passed the test."
The children looked confused.
The oldest and tallest child asked: "Boss, what test?"
"Of course, it is the test of becoming the person I value most."
Ji Changze raised his chin, and his face was full of "This is your honor and you should celebrate it."
"Before, I couldn't trust you very well, and I couldn't confirm whether you would listen to me, so I only took you to do small things like digging traps, catching fish, picking bird eggs, making straw sandals and selling them for money."
"But, after such a long time of observation, I found that each of you completed the task well, and you kept your mouth shut and didn't tell the adults. This is very good, very good, so I declare that in the future, I will take you to do more important things."
"Wow!"
"What more important things?"
"Will there be meat to eat?"
"Boss, what's the important thing?"
Ji Changze waved his hand, and the children who had just asked all kinds of questions immediately shut up, but their curiosity could not be stopped, so they could only look at him eagerly.
"Strong country, do you know?"
The children all shook their heads blankly.
Ji Changze stood on a big rock, which was the "throne" he specially chose for himself. He specially asked his followers to carry it from the river to here, just to stand on it when he spoke to show his status as the boss.
"Strong country! It means to strengthen our country! You know we are Chinese, right! But our country is a little weak now, so our new task is to strengthen it! Make it stronger! Let our China become more powerful than the foreign countries, and then, no one will dare to bully our people."
"Do you understand?"
A bunch of children standing straight shook their heads in confusion.
Ji Changze choked.
His little head was a little regretful.
How could he have such a group of stupid subordinates with such a smart brain?
But think about it, he is too young, except for this group of subordinates who are also children, no one is willing to recognize him as the boss.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, just do what I say."
The oldest child raised his hand, and waited for Ji Changze to nod before he stood up and asked: "Then what should we do, boss?"
"I have thought about everything for you. If a country wants to become strong, it cannot lack talents, so what you have to do is to become a talent."
The little subordinates still looked confused.
Ji Changze simply and roughly divided the talents into three categories.
"Those who think they can fight stand here, those who think they can't fight and need to rely on their brains stand there, and those who think they can fight stand in the middle."
The little subordinates quickly stood up according to his instructions.
After they stood up, Ji Changze looked at the little kid who didn't move at the back: "Wang Ba, why don't you understand?"
Wang Ba looked timid, tried to stand up and answered: "Report to the boss, I can't fight, and I don't have a brain."
Ji Changze: "..."
He looked up and down at this subordinate who was eight years old this year but shorter than a six-year-old child.
Wu Ye only told him that people who can fight are called military generals, and people who can't fight are called civil officials, but he didn't tell him what people who can't fight and don't use their brains are called.
"Okay, then what can you say you can do."
Wang Ba really thought about it seriously: "Boss, I can act, and I act really well."
Immediately, a child came out to testify: "Yes, boss, he can act, he often cries for us to see."
Acting, he can act too!
Ji Changze looked at Wang Ba with a pleasing look, and waved at him: "Come, come here."
"Then you are the bait."
Wang Ba knew what bait meant, but he didn't understand why people could be used as bait.
Ji Changze told him: "You just pretend to be easy to bully. Do you know how to pretend?"
Wang Ba's tears fell, and he looked at Ji Changze with a pitiful face and sobbed: "Boss, do you think I am easy to bully like this? I am pretending, pretending, do I look like it?"
"Very good! That's it, but you don't just pretend in your tone, shake your body, and show fear in your eyes, right, right, that's it, okay, you pretend to be weak in your legs, want to run but don't have the strength to run, no, no, you can't move your legs, your legs are weak, you can't move, you have to support yourself with your hands to move back, eh! Right!! That's it!"
Ji Changze took the lead in applauding, and a bunch of subordinates immediately followed suit.
He took out a bird egg from his bag and handed it to Wang Ba.
"You should learn from Wang Ba. Look how fast he learns things. Very good. This is talent! Excellent talent! Here, I will reward you with a bird egg."
Wang Ba, who had been eating and drinking among the subordinates without making any contribution, held the bird egg and burst into laughter.
"Thank you, boss. I will practice hard in the future."
Ji Changze was also very happy. After being happy, he began to be dissatisfied with the name Wang Ba.
"How can I, Ji Changze, be called Wang Ba? Did your parents give you a full name? We will call you by your full name in the future."
Wang Ba stood up from the ground and shook his head: "Boss, my full name is Wang Ba, and my nickname is Shit Egg."
Ji Changze: "..."
He wanted to focus on training this Wang Ba, how could he be called Shit Egg?
"Then I'll give you a name. Aren't you called Wang Ba? After all, it's your parents who gave you the name, and I can't change it. You'll be called Wang Qiyi from now on."
"Wang Qiyi, seven plus one equals eight, so it doesn't count as changing your name."
Wang Ba, no, it's Wang Qiyi. He also heard that this name is better than his previous one, and it was split from his original name. He was so happy that a bubble of snot popped out of his nose.
He nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, boss, then I'll be called Wang Qiyi from now on."
Ji Changze was also very happy to see that he was satisfied with the name.
He had an impression of Wang Qiyi. This subordinate was short and knew nothing. He seemed to be dull every day. According to Ji Changze's recruitment standards, he looked down on Wang Qiyi.
But Wang Qiyi's family situation was a bit special.
When the war started, a group of men went to the village, and his father was one of them. Then he died on the battlefield. Wang Qiyi's mother lived alone with her son. As a result, the family was so unlucky. His mother fell from the mountain and her leg was lame. She couldn't do much farm work to begin with, and now her leg was broken. The mother and son, one disabled and the other small, lived a very hard life.
Otherwise, Wang Qiyi wouldn't be so thin and small at the age of eight, shorter than a six-year-old child. When recruiting soldiers, Wang Qi came over eagerly and said that although he was weak, he could work and he could do a day's work.
Ji Changze was soft-hearted and recruited him.
Of course, Wang Qiyi was able to stay for so long because he was really obedient and willing to work. Although he was weak and small, he was really willing to work a whole day. Unless Ji Changze set a rest time for him, he would not even rest.
And now, he has the advantage of being able to act, so Ji Changze likes Wang Qiyi even more.
"Okay, I still have to go to the city. That's about it for today. Come on, tell me what you're going to do today."
The only eldest brother who could read squatted on the ground, picked up his royal wooden stick, and wrote and drew on the ground.
"Today I'm going to collect firewood."
"Today I'm going to cut grass for pigs."
"Today I'm going to look after my sister. My family is not at home today."
"I'm going to wash clothes, a big basin."
The children in the village are not like Ji Changze who can go a whole day without working and no one will say anything. The adults are busy for life, and the children at home have to follow and share the burden for the family.
For example, the younger children just watch their younger brothers and sisters cook.
The older ones have more to do, such as cutting grass for pigs, collecting firewood, and washing clothes. There are all kinds of things.
"Okay, it's all clear."
Ji Changze quickly assigned the tasks according to what he wrote on the ground.
"You two go cut grass for pigs, and those who want grass for pigs can leave their baskets there."
"You three, go to Xiaolouzi's house, take all the clothes to be washed, and then take the group of children over there, wash clothes and watch their brothers and sisters."
"You go collect firewood, remember, follow a route, put them in bundles and put them in the same place, and when you come back, follow the same route, and then put the firewood away and wait for those who want firewood to come back and pick them up."
After arranging the people who will work, he began to arrange "hunting".
"You guys, go and open the traps we set up before, if there are prey, send them to the forest and put them away, you two, go to the river to see the nets we set up before."
That's right, the reason why Ji Changze's team became the one that all the children in the village wanted to join was because Ji Changze, as the eldest, would make various arrangements so that the children who would have been busy all day could get everything done in just one morning or even less.
And there would be meat to eat.
They have always admired Ji Changze for this, so the children who have reached the age have tried all kinds of ways to join in.
Ji Changze himself thought it was too simple.
The work that the children in the village have to do is the same over and over again, anyway, it is almost the same. Instead of so many people working together, it is better to distribute the tasks and let only some people repeat the work in one place, and finally everyone takes their own "tasks" away from each other.
Not only can they complete the tasks assigned by their families, but they also complete them very well, and the extra time can naturally be used to do other things.
Hunting is also very simple. There are no hunters in their village, but Ji Changze only studied in the mountains for a while and figured out how to catch rabbits and pheasants.
He experimented again and again to make traps, and then taught the production methods to his "subordinates", asking them to set traps everywhere, and finally not eat the prey they caught, but sell them for money.
Ji Changze's aunt's family went to the town to sell meat, so he took these prey there, saying that someone in their village gave him candy and asked him to exchange it for money.
Of course, the other party would not think that these prey were caught by children. After paying the money happily, Ji Changze took the money back.
Part of the money is the ironclad team fund, which no one can touch.
He took half of the remaining money, and then divided the rest equally.
The team fund is used for rewards.
When some people make outstanding contributions, Ji Changze will take money from the team fund and give it to the other party. The key point is that he gives it to the other party in front of all his subordinates.
Although this money has been exploited layer by layer, it must be said that it is still a lot for children, especially poor children.
Following Ji Changze and recognizing him as the boss, not only do they have less work to do every day, but they also have meat to eat and money to get. Naturally, everyone wants to follow him.
As for Ji Changze taking half of it himself, no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.
If the boss hadn't taught them these, would they know how to catch prey and can they spare time to catch prey?
Of course not.
Moreover, although everyone knows how to set traps now, they still cannot arrange everything like Ji Changze does, allowing them to do everything with ease.
Of course, Ji Changze would not admit that these subordinates "have grown wings but do not think about flying solo but admire him more" because he has been constantly instilling in his little subordinates all kinds of ideas such as "the boss is the best", "the boss is the most powerful", "follow the boss to eat meat, without the boss, it's miserable".
The seven-year-old little bean has no guilty conscience.
He did not lie, he did what he promised, let the subordinates have money and meat to eat.
As for why he had to "recruit soldiers and buy horses", in fact, even Ji Changze himself did not understand why before, it was like instinct, subconsciously telling him that he must have his own people.
And these people must be loyal to him.
If it is for making money, he can make it himself, and there is no need to divide it out.
Now Ji Changze is clear.
He "recruit soldiers and buy horses" for the sake of strengthening the country! !
I am worthy of it!
Little bean Ji Changze praised himself happily in his heart.
It turns out that I knew that I had to strengthen the country early on. No wonder Wu Ye said I was a genius. Hehehe, I am a genius.
After arranging the people, Ji Changze asked the two subordinates he designated to take care of their prey: "How is our property?"
Yes, every time he talked about these prey, he specially added "we". This would make the subordinates feel a sense of protection for the prey, so that they could take more careful care of the prey, and also increase their sense of belonging to the team.
When Ji Changze analyzed this with Xue Wuye, Xue Wuye looked at him with a strange look for a long time, and then shouted something like a monster.
"Report to the boss!"
The two subordinates stood straight and answered seriously: "We take good care of them. Every day we go to find the freshest wild grass and insects for them to eat. Last time, a rabbit caught also laid little rabbits, a lot of them."
"Well, very good, I'll go and see."
Ji Changze praised his two subordinates in a serious manner and led them into the woods.
There is a big wooden house in the woods.
If you think that wooden house is where they put their prey, you are wrong.
There is a secret passage under the wooden house.
It is not a very long secret passage.
After the secret passage, there is a basement.
If you think that is where the prey is put, you are still wrong.
In the basement, move a table inside, there is another secret passage underneath. After entering the secret passage, walk inside for about ten minutes, and the place where you go out is a cave.
There are stones in front of the cave door. They were moved little by little by Ji Changze and his subordinates to ensure that no one can get in. There are vines growing outside the stones.
Those vines were also dug and planted by Ji Changze specifically to block the hole here.
Every time, they would only enter the small wooden house and come to this cave from the secret passage of the secret passage.
Although they are all people from the village, Ji Changze feels that he should still do this. His things must be hidden.
Although digging a secret tunnel is very time-consuming and time-consuming, he no longer has this worry since he bought a shovel. Anyway, his subordinates can dig it, and he only needs to give orders.
He walked all the way to the cave through the secret tunnel.
In the huge cave, there are three or two pheasants, five rabbits, and a nest of baby rabbits.
Ji Changze looked at them with a satisfied smile on his face.
That's right! This is my kingdom.
