I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Chapter 228 A Message

Gu Wenxuan smiled and said, "Of course my mother does!"

Wenxuan took out a foot-tall, emerald green, moonstone-carved statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva from a handbag at his feet.

Gu Wenxuan offered it to Old Madam Pan with both hands:

"I heard that my old mother has been a vegetarian and chanting for a long time. I gave this Guanyin Bodhisattva to my old mother, hoping that Guanyin Bodhisattva would bless her with good health and a safe home!"

However, Old Madam Pan was reluctant to extend her hand because she also came from a large family. Although her family had no money now, they had seen the world before.

She knew this Guanyin Bodhisattva, this emerald green variety, although she didn't quite understand whether it was jade.

But you know that this statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is absolutely priceless.

"Where's Wenxuan? This Buddha statue of yours must be worth a lot of money, right? I, your old mother, dare not accept such a precious gift from you!"

"Old mother, you are a vegetarian and a Buddhist, but you are obsessed with appearances. What is valuable or not? This is the worldly perspective of ordinary people! You said such things in front of the Bodhisattva, shouldn't you say it's a sin?"

Madam Pan really put her hands together and chanted twice: "Great Bodhisattva Guanyin, please forgive me, I am sorry, I am sorry!"

Seeing Mrs. Pan's serious expression, everyone in the room smiled.

This time, Madam Pan did not refuse. She took the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva with both hands and placed it on the table respectfully.

The old lady then gave the necklace to her daughter-in-law, Pan Ying, who was also her niece.

Pan Ying took the necklace without saying much, and kept thanking and saluting, which made Gu Wenxuan really flustered. It was too many formalities and it was really embarrassing.

"Sister-in-law, please stop being so polite. You've made me feel helpless. Do you want to drive me away?"

Pan Ying blushed: "Uncle, what are you talking about? Why would we chase you away? We wish you could stay for a few more days!"

Uncle Luo from the Pao Brothers family:

"Brother Wenxuan, let's go out. I'm afraid dinner is about to start outside. I have some good wine. I want to drink with you tonight!"

Gu Wenxuan also did not forget to give Uncle Luo a gift, which was a jade plaque carved with moonstone.

After Uncle Luo took it, he put it in his pocket with a smile on his face.

Gu Wenxuan cleared his throat and said, "Now I will tell you my brother Luo Depei's message. Mother, do you think it's appropriate for me to tell you now?"

Mrs. Pan nodded:

"Wenxuan, just say what you want. Everyone here is family. His uncle has always taken care of our family. He is also considered a real family member. You can say whatever you want!"

It’s true that if Luo Yongquan, a member of the Pao Brothers, hadn’t taken care of Luo Depei’s family, I’m afraid this family would not have been able to survive.

When Luo Depei was in central Sichuan, he was just a platoon leader.

He had been away for two years and had no news from him, and of course he had not received any money in return. There were five or six people in his family, old and young, and none of them earned money. In addition, his father had died a few years ago, leaving him with a debt.

The Luo family originally had some assets, but later fell into poverty, otherwise Luo Depei would not have joined the army.

"I'll pass on Brother Luo's message to my mother.

Brother Luo has now established an independent anti-Japanese alliance army! He wants to break away from the rule of the White Army.

He was afraid of affecting the lives of his family members, so he told me to take the old lady and the family away and either live in his army or find an unfamiliar city to live in.

This way we won’t be controlled by the authorities. What do your family members think? "

Gu Wenxuan's words shocked everyone in the family.

Uncle Luo said in surprise: "Wei Wenxuan, what do you mean? Are you saying that Luo Erwa, that son of a bitch, is going to rebel?"

Mrs. Pan coughed after hearing her brother's harsh words, and Mr. Luo immediately apologized with a blushing face:

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I was anxious and said something stupid. Please forgive me!"

Mrs. Pan waved her hand:

“Wenxuan, tell me in detail about Depei. I have no worries about him fighting in the army. Even if he dies for his country, I will accept it.

But you said that he formed an independent army and wanted to break away from the rule of the Northern Army.

He has the courage but not the ability. If you ask him to lead a battalion or a company, a few hundred people, I don't think he has the ability to do so.

If you want him to lead an army of 10 or 8 people, I guess he has the courage but not the ability.

Tell me the truth, who did he go to? It couldn't be you, could it? "

After Mrs. Pan said that, Mr. Luo stood up, walked around Gu Wenxuan and nodded:

"Sister-in-law, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of it. I'm afraid it was this kid Wenxuan's bad idea. Doesn't he look like a good person?"

Everyone in the room, young and old, laughed. Uncle Luo had previously forced Gu Wenxuan to join his Pao brothers, but now he said that he didn't look like a good person. How could he have changed so much?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Gu Wenxuan scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Mother, you have sharp eyes and you saw through the essence of the matter immediately!

Yes, I am the leader of this army, but I did not show up. I established this army in the name of my eldest brother, and I provided all the supplies for this army!"

Uncle Luo said: "In fact, I heard last year that the Sichuan Army went out and was basically defeated. I heard that a small group of troops fled to Henan.

I don’t know if it’s De Pei and the others, and I can’t get in touch with them. I’m so worried!”

Gu Wenxuan: “Yes, I also met Brother Depei last year, and they had no weapons supplies at that time.

They didn’t even have enough food or clothes, so I funded him and established an independent division! You don’t know how difficult their situation was. In the icy and snowy weather, they didn’t even have a pair of decent shoes and were wearing straw sandals!”

"This damn Central Army is too bullying. They only ask us Sichuan people to fight for our lives, but they don't even give us equipment or supplies!"

Later, I led Brother Luo and his army to win several battles, and I supplied them with a lot of new weapons.

I didn't expect that the Central Army's direct troops wanted to reap the benefits and recruit them, so I drove the Central Army and him away.

I was afraid that this guy would do harm to my mother's family after returning to the mountain city, so I came back to take a look.

If your family is willing to join the army, I will be responsible for sending you to the army and reunite with Brother Luo.

If you don't want to live in the army, I will find an unfamiliar city to settle your family down. Of course, I'm afraid you will have to change your name.

If you like, I can send you to Shanghai, where the White Party should have no control over you.

The old lady thought for a moment, then turned to ask Uncle Luo: "Brother, what do you think?"

Uncle Luo thought for a while:

“I think Wenxuan is right. Currently, Depei and his men have not openly opposed the White Army’s command.

If they really openly broke away from the White Party's rule, even if they were fighting against the Japanese, the stingy White Party would probably kill all our families!"
