My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Chapter 123 Czech Light Machine Gun Obtained

Ren Youfu was very moved when he saw his father's body being torn apart and returned home, so he stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, Uncle Jiu, when can my father be buried?"

Uncle Jiu heard this and said, "Someone has tampered with the old man. Although the corpse qi has been released now, if it is left for a long time, it will probably turn into a corpse again. So I think it is best to cremate the old man."

Ren Youfu frowned and said, "It's not that I don't believe Uncle Jiu's words, but my father's body has been torn apart now, how can I believe that he can still pretend to be dead?"

Uncle Jiu scratched his head and looked at Jiang Li. Jiang Li understood and pulled Ren Youfu aside and explained in a low voice, "Uncle, you don't know, this zombie is immortal and will not enter reincarnation. It has been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao outside the Three Realms. If it is not handled properly, it will bring disaster to future generations!"

Ren Youfu frowned and asked, "How could this happen?"

Jiang Li explained, "Old Master Ren Weiyong also turned into a zombie before. It seems that turning into a zombie after death is a manifestation of the Ren family's shallow fortune. If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that the whole family will suffer!"

Ren Youfu said in panic, "Then... let's burn it, so that no more trouble will happen. It's a pity that my father died without a complete body. How can I face him in the future?"

Jiang Li said, "Don't worry, uncle. As long as you can carry forward the family, the old man will not blame you."

Ren Youfu sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. You and Uncle Jiu should handle this matter. Just don't let everyone in the city know about it."

Jiang Li heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, uncle. I will go discuss this with Master and find a proper solution."

Afterwards, he returned the pocket watch to Ren Zhuzhu and found Uncle Jiu to explain the situation. After thinking for a while, Uncle Jiu decided to collect firewood now and cremate the old man tonight under the cover of night, so as to maintain maximum confidentiality.

The idea was decided, so everyone prepared as planned. By the evening, there were no accidents and Nintendo was cremated successfully.

The next day, Uncle Jiu performed a ritual and buried Nintendo's ashes.

When everything was done, Uncle Jiu found Mama and invited him to join Qingyun Temple, but he knew that he was sloppy and was disliked by others, so he refused.

I originally wanted to take Ah Hao and Ah Qiang with me, but they listened to Jiang Li's advice and decided to join Qingyun Temple.

He was so angry that he went to Jiang Li to ask for an explanation. However, after Jiang Li took out two hundred dollars, he left happily with a smile on his face.

After all, Lu Xun once said that brothers in life and death need extra money.

...

After dealing with this matter, Jiang Li and his party set off for home. Although they did not obtain any treasures that would help their cultivation this time, the Ren family took out a lot of cattle and sheep and livestock, and also used their connections to help recruit nearly two hundred landless farmers.

After returning to Tengteng Town, Jiang Li had people settle these people and take the livestock to Caoping Mountain to raise them. Then he sent someone to send Ren Fa back to Renjia Town, and then took Ren Tingting to Jiang's house.

As a result, when they were almost home, Ren Tingting, who was leaning against the car window to look at the scenery, saw the dense grass beside the road shaking. She thought it was a pheasant or a rabbit or something, so she quickly asked Jiang Li to try to catch it.

But when Jiang Li saw the noise, he knew that it was not a wild beast, but a man and a woman hiding in the woods.

So he pulled Ren Tingting back and told her not to meddle in other people's business, but at this time a familiar laughter suddenly came from the bushes, and Jiang Li looked at the bushes in surprise.

He then stopped the carriage and got off and walked towards the bushes. He parted the bushes and saw that it was indeed his younger sister Jiang Xiaohua, and the other person was Old Wu's grandson Wu Ziyuan.

When the two of them were discovered, they immediately tidied their clothes in panic. Seeing this, Jiang Li turned around and waited.

After a few minutes, the two of them slowly walked out. Jiang Xiaohua forced a smile and said, "Second brother, when did you come back? I missed you so much during this period!"

Jiang Li glanced at the two of them without blaming them. He just asked them to get in the car and slowly drive home.

When they got in the car, Wu Ziyuan clenched his fists nervously, but still said, "Second Young Master, if you want to punish me, punish me..."

Jiang Li interrupted him by waving his hand and asked Jiang Xiaohua, "When did you start? Do your parents know?"

Jiang Xiaohua lowered her head and said, "We have played together for several years. This is the first time. My parents don't know."

Then he looked at Wu Ziyuan and said solemnly, "Have you ever thought that your sneaking around like this is bad for Xiaohua? If the news gets out, how can she face people?"

Wu Ziyuan heard this and said, "I...I haven't thought about it."

Jiang Xiaohua interrupted and said, "I asked him to come here today. It's because you and your second sister-in-law made such a big noise that I couldn't sleep."

Jiang Li was speechless and Ren Tingting was embarrassed. Then Jiang Li said, "Love is human nature, but you can't be so sneaky."

"Ziyuan, I understand your character. I'll give you three days to think it over carefully. If you still want to be together, then Ziyuan will ask my parents for marriage."

"I will speak up for you when the time comes, but you can't be so sneaky anymore, understand?"

Wu Ziyuan and Jiang Xiaohua were both delighted when they heard this and said, "Thank you, Second Brother (Second Young Master)."

Jiang Li waved his hand to interrupt, "Don't thank me yet, think carefully before making a decision, don't jump to conclusions about lifelong matters."

As they were talking, the carriage arrived at the door of the Jiang family. Someone unloaded the things from the carriage. Jiang Li then found Old Wu and asked him about the purchase of guns and ammunition.

When Old Wu saw Jiang Li asking, he immediately took out a list and read out, "Currently, the warehouse has 100 Morgans, 500 Hanyangs, 50 Mauser pistols, 20 Czech light machine guns, 1,000 grenades, 50,000 rifle bullets, 20,000 machine gun bullets, 10,000 pistol bullets, 500 sets of new uniforms, and a number of various medicine belts, canteens, and magazines."

Jiang Li laughed for a while after listening to the data, and then asked, "Continue to purchase guns and ammunition. It would be best if we can buy heavy machine guns. We should also inquire about various types of cannons."

Old Wu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master. I will let him keep in touch."

Jiang Li then asked, "How many cattle and sheep have you asked people to buy recently?"

Old Wu smiled and said, "It's a little easier to buy these. We currently have 400 sheep, 80 cows, and 100 mules and donkeys. I also contacted a camel seller. He has dozens of camels and horses. Do you want us to buy them?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Of course we have to buy horses. I told you that you can buy any large livestock. Even if they can't be used as war horses, they can still be used to pull goods."

Old Wu nodded and said, "I'll remember that. If the young master doesn't have any other instructions, I'll go down and do my work."

At this time, Jiang Li said slowly, "Go back and let Ziyuan think it over and give me a clear answer. Don't be ambiguous."

Old Wu was a little confused when he heard this. Why did he bring up his grandson for no reason? However, he did not ask any further questions. He just said okay and left.
