Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1340 Taking advantage of the little girl

"Brother Zhuzi, why are you sleeping here?" Guan Tingting was a little curious.

"Tingting, I discovered a secret room yesterday. Do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Where?" Guan Tingting asked.

"Follow me." Zhou Zhi led Guan Tingting to the iron cross frame, turned the key, and pushed open the small mahogany door: "Dang-dang-dang-dang!"

"Ouch!" Although the sun shone into the hall, it was still a little dark inside the secret room. Guan Tingting couldn't help but feel creepy: "It's so dark, so scary!"

"Actually, it's not scary. It's quite fun." Zhou Zhi opened the blackout treasure and smiled: "Just think of this as a weird-shaped suite. Come, let me play with you."

Guan Tingting has played many outdoor adventure games with Zhou Zhi, including the base of ancient pagodas in Jiachuan, old civil air defense projects, and even some large rock tombs. She is a typical "people and food, but also addictive" type, La Holding Zhou Zhi's hand: "I'll walk in the back, Brother Zhuzi, you walk in the front."

"Let's go, I cleaned up yesterday. There's nothing to be afraid of." Zhou Zhi took Guan Tingting into the secret room and placed the blackout treasure on the wooden ladder leading to the second-floor storage room to act as a light source: "Look, it looks like this It’s not like the foreigner’s attic in movies and TV?”

"It's quite similar." Guan Tingting looked at this strange space curiously: "What is this place for?"

"Shelter, to avoid arrest." Zhou Zhi said: "Have you read "The Diary of Anne Frank"?"

"No, what book?"

"That was the diary written by a little Jewish girl, Anne Frank. Her family lived in a secret room for twenty-five months to hide from the Germans. It was a place like this."

"Did they hide until the end?" Guan Tingting asked.

"Unfortunately, no." Zhou Zhi said: "Except for Anne's father, all the characters in the book died in the concentration camp. The last day of the diary is August 1, 1944. There is still one year before the end of the war."

"Then I won't read it." Guan Tingting didn't like sad stories. She looked at her surroundings and felt that she would go crazy if she lived here for twenty-five months.

"If you don't want to watch it, just watch it. I came just in time to do some work and move things." Zhou Zhi took advantage of the little girl without conscience.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, in addition to this small table and chairs, a lamp, and a camp bed, there is also a radio, books, newspapers, canned food, and a lot of tea and red wine."

"Can those be eaten?" Guan Tingting suddenly became interested.

"I don't know, I have to move out and have a look."

"Where's the stuff?"

"On the floor above."

"You go up and get it, I'll take it from below." Guan Tingting was still timid and didn't want to go too far from the escape door.

"Hahaha, okay."

When the brother and sister moved everything out of the secret room, Guan Tingting inspected everything in the sun.

The newspaper is boring, so throw it away.

The novel seemed pretty good, written by Zhang Ailing and Zhang Henshui. There were also female classmates in school reading it. This novel was an "antique" original product from the Republic of China, so he was very polite: "These novels belong to me."

Radio is boring, throw it away. The cans are American military products. Zhou Zhi opened one and found that the inside was still good and the smell was not weird. However, the brother and sister looked at each other and neither dared to try it.

"Where are the glutinous rice balls?" Zhou Zhi looked around with a piece of beef on his fork.

"You dare!" Guan Tingting laughed. She knew Zhou Zhi's intention: "You dare to let the glutinous rice balls test the poison! If you want to try it, you have to try it first!"

"Then forget it." Zhou Zhi had no choice but to put the can down.

All that's left is tea and red wine.

There are three types of tea, which Zhou Zhi is familiar with. One is the black tea brick produced in Yazhou, the other is the Xiaguan Tuo tea made like Wo Wotou, and the other is the Pu'er which is very familiar to everyone in later generations.

These three types of teas become more fragrant as they age. Of course, if you want to maintain the improved flavor, the premise is that the long-term storage environment must be suitable, and the requirements are quite demanding.

It seemed that the secret room was a good place. When Zhou Zhi picked up the wooden box that sealed the tea leaves, he could smell the aroma of aged camphor.

Looking at the words "Twenty Years of the Republic of China" on the packaging, Zhou Zhi thought: "This should still be drinkable. I dare to try this."

"It's best not to drink it, and ask someone who knows how to drink it." Guan Tingting was not at ease, and picked up another bottle of red wine: "If tea can be drunk, this wine can be drank too."

There were also about ten bottles of red wine, but neither brother nor sister recognized the brand. It looked like a typical big glass bottle of French red wine. The packaging sticker was as simple as the packaging of tea, just ordinary paper with black cursive characters printed on it. However, the Arabic numerals can still be seen clearly. The three wines have the words 1921, 1931 and 1937 written on them respectively.

None of these wines were considered old when they were put into the secret room. The 1937 wine might have been new that year, but today, the oldest one is seventy-three years old and the latest one is forty-seven years old.

"It doesn't seem like there's any sedimentation." Guan Tingting turned the bottle upside down towards the sun and looked at it: "Maybe it hasn't gone bad."

"Wait for me to copy the label." Zhou Zhi said, "Li Laosan may not understand tea, but he must be good at wine. I'll call and ask later."

The brother and sister casually decided what to do with these things. Guan Tingting was one of the "people who go up the mountain to hunt birds and see them", so she took away the novels, and Zhou Zhi sent the rest to the underground warehouse, which has constant temperature and humidity. It is best to keep these. The place.

After Guan Tingting's participation, it is reasonable and logical for the original state of the secret room to be destroyed.

"Brother Jiuzi, do you still want to eat?" After everything was packed and the secret room was locked by Guan Tingting again, the little girl remembered that she came here to ask Zhou Zhi to have breakfast in the thatched cottage community, but she forgot about it as soon as she started playing.

"Uh, Tingting, what's the matter with you?" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't eat, or you can just eat something on the street."

"I tried on sister-in-law Lulu's wedding dress yesterday. Didn't you say that there is a place where no one will disturb me and it is a good place to take pictures? How about we go there today and have a look?"

"Eh?" Zhou Zhi remembered: "Yes, it's time to visit that place. Is this what you're wearing?"

"What's wrong with this outfit?" Guan Tingting turned around in front of Zhou Zhi. Today, the little girl was wearing a round-necked white shirt with a black ribbon tied at the collar. She was wearing denim shorts and her long and well-proportioned legs. Guan Tingting was so proud that she even stood on tiptoe wearing small leather shoes to create a stretching effect: "Don't you look good?"

"It looks good. It's already this month. There may be mosquitoes there," Zhou Zhi said in a persuasive manner: "Tingting, be good, let's go home first. I'll have breakfast, and you change into some clothes, preferably long sleeves and long pants."

Guan Tingting's mouth pursed.

"Eh? Didn't I just ask Master Yang to make you a horse-faced skirt?" Zhou Zhi knew that Guan Tingting was sure of it: "How about we don't change our upper body today and try that skirt?"

Guan Tingting suddenly beamed: "Yes, why didn't I think of that?!"
