At the Capital Airport of China, Wei Ran walked out of the airport with a light suitcase covered in dust. The shooting in the Egyptian desert was still going on, but he couldn't do much to help, so he simply put away the shotgun and the two little foxes.
He entrusted it to Saleh, who claimed to be able to help send him back to Kazan. He also asked "Director" Culp for a leave to return to his country to visit relatives.
"Senior brother! Senior brother! Here!"
Chen Luoxiang, who came to pick him up, waved and shouted. Next to him stood his father, Chen Guangling, a half-guqin master from Wei Ran.
"Why are you all here?" Wei Ran hurriedly took two steps. When he returned to China this time, he did not notify his parents and Suisui in advance. Instead, he only contacted Chen Guangling in advance.
Of course, his advance arrangements before returning to China were not only to ask Chen Guangling to help him urgently rent a yard in the suburbs of the capital, but also to purchase a lot of things online.
"I have nothing to do today, so I just happened to come out and stretch our legs together."
The elegant Chen Guangling insisted on taking Wei Ran's suitcase and threw it to his son. As he led him to the airport, he asked with concern, "Are you having a conflict with Suisui? Why did you hide it from her?
?”
"No, how could that be possible?" Wei Ran quickly came up with the excuse he had thought up in advance, "Isn't this a surprise for her?"
"You young people"
After Chen Guangling made a joke, he did not continue the topic and said instead, "All the things you bought online have been sent to my store, but I didn't rent the yard you wanted."
"No suitable ones?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
"Go directly to my yard in the suburbs," Chen Guangling said. "The environment there is pretty good. Luo Xiang used to practice piano there."
"This... won't delay Brother Luo Xiang's piano practice, right?"
"Don't worry, brother"
Chen Luoxiang replied happily, "I will go to my master's house in the south to learn the craft in a few days."
"Thanks to you for lending us the bed of Youquan," Chen Guangling continued, "otherwise, this silly boy would have had no choice but to hang around the piano store."
"The main thing is that Brother Luo Xiang is capable enough and has little to do with Qin."
Wei Ran put his arm around Chen Luoxiang's shoulders and said, half jokingly and half seriously, "Luo Xiang, when you start teaching, you have to give me a piano that you made yourself."
"Definitely! I must give you a piano!"
Chen Luoxiang patted his chest and made a promise. When this rather introverted young man talked about the topic of Qin, his eyes were all shining brightly. It was obvious that he really liked her.
"It's still too early for him to leave the army."
Chen Guangling said politely on behalf of his son, and then asked, "Wei Ran, would you like to go home with me to have a meal together first, or go to the small courtyard for a walk first?"
"Go directly," Wei Ran replied quickly, "To be honest, I'm a bit pressed for time right now."
"Okay! Then go directly there!" Chen Guangling replied cheerfully, "When you are done with your work, be sure to go and sit at home."
"When will Luo Xiang go to your master's place?" Wei Ran turned around and asked.
"I have to leave in five days," Chen Luoxiang replied with a grimace. "I'll probably lose even Saturdays and weekends in the future, and I'll have to work for my master without even a salary."
"Just be content with what you have, kid!"
Chen Guangling gently touched the back of his son's head and said, "It would be great if the old gentleman would accept you as his apprentice."
"I'll go and give you a farewell before you leave." Wei Ran made a promise in advance after thinking about it for a while.
After chatting along the way, Chen Guangling and Wei Ran found their car in the parking lot, left the airport and drove straight north.
After almost an hour, Chen Guangling finally drove the car into a small village surrounded by mountains and rivers, and finally stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard with a single family.
“That’s it”
When Chen Guangling opened the car door, he introduced, "This used to be my father-in-law's home. Later, after the two elders left, Luo Xiang often came here to practice piano, and occasionally we would come to stay."
"This small courtyard is so beautifully tidied up," Wei Ran said in admiration. Although the small courtyard is not big, the ivy planted inside the courtyard wall has covered the outer wall. You can even see a small vine through the courtyard wall.
A very large walnut tree and a hawthorn tree guard the gatehouse on the left and right.
“My wife took care of it all”
While Chen Guangling was speaking, he had already taken out a polished key to unlock the iron door of the small courtyard, and then handed the key directly to Wei Ran.
Push the door and come in, there is a stone pavement at your feet. Under the hawthorn tree on the left, there is an old-looking pressurized water well and a millstone filled with flower pots. Under the walnut tree on the right, there is a set of stone tables and stones.
There is a stool with many large and small express boxes placed on it.
Look at the tile-roofed house facing the gatehouse. Although there are only three rooms in total, they have bright windows and are kept extremely clean.
"The west wing is the kitchen. If you are willing to cook by yourself, you can buy vegetables at the village supermarket. The east wing is the bathroom. There is a solar water heater for taking a shower. I have prepared all the toiletries for you."
While Chen Guangling was introducing, Chen Luoxiang, who was already familiar with the process, pulled out a key from under a flower pot on the window sill and opened the door.
"This room to the west of the main room is the bedroom, and I have changed the bedding into new ones." Chen Luoxiang explained, "The room to the east is where I usually practice piano."
"Your courtyard is so beautiful."
Wei Ran sighed again, even though this small courtyard is not big, the layout is extremely exquisite. In particular, there is a traditional Chinese Eight Immortals table placed against the wall in the main room, and there is even a set of vases and things on the table.
There are several guqins and a harp hanging on the wall next to the mirror.
"My friends and I often come here to get together. By the way, those express delivery items in the yard are all things you bought. I delivered them in advance yesterday."
Chen Guangling explained gently, "Before Luo Xiang leaves in a few days, if you and Suisui have time, come over. We will set up a few tables here. There won't be many people, we are just friends."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "We will definitely come then" Wei Ran quickly agreed.
After chatting with the father and son for a while, Chen Guangling left an extra car key with Wei Ran, and then left with his son Xiuli Dada. According to what they said, Chen Guangling's daughter-in-law is now visiting a neighbor's house in the village.
Well, they will drive back together in another car later.
After seeing off the enthusiastic father and son, Wei Ran took a general look at the small courtyard and saw that there was no monitoring equipment installed. Then he got into the east wing and took a comfortable bath, and then changed into comfortable clothes.
Wearing shorts and T-shirts, we began to unpack the express delivery under the walnut tree.
The things he bought in advance were basically for the gold in the food box, from electric gold melting furnaces, to crucibles and molds, to insulating clothing, fire extinguishers and other items.
After roughly studying the usage, Wei Ran moved these things one by one into Chen Luoxiang's piano room, then took out the heavy food box from the metal book, and carefully cleaned the diesel oil and yellow sandy gold nuggets inside.
Wipe it clean and put it next to it.
When everything was ready, Wei Ran opened all the windows in the piano room, then connected the electricity and turned on the gold melting furnace.
Amidst the buzzing of the cooling fan, the temperature of the graphite crucible also increased rapidly. At the same time, Wei Ran also threw a piece of gold with the eagle swastika remaining into the hot crucible.
Speaking of which, if these gold bricks left behind by Nazhi have those eagle emblems on them, they can easily be sold for far more than the price of the same weight of pure gold. But at the same time, they will also cause countless troubles.
Because of this, melting them again is undoubtedly the best choice for Weiyan.
While he waited, the gold nugget in the crucible melted into a liquid state at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the slight oil and water stains that originally remained on it had long since evaporated.
Putting on the heat-insulating protective equipment, Wei Yan used a clamp to remove the heated mold from the crucible and placed it on the small iron table he bought as a set. He carefully picked up the crucible that exuded high temperature and slowly poured out the gold water inside.
Pour it in.
Seeing that the mold was about to be filled, Wei Ran carefully placed the crucible back on the gold melting furnace. After waiting for a while, he picked up the impression that was leaning against the gold melting furnace and covered it with the mold.
I picked up a hammer and hit it hard several times.
After a while, when he clamped the mold and shook the gold nugget inside into an iron bucket filled with clean water, a gold ingot with the words "golden ten thousand taels" printed on it was already cast.
Waiting until the water in the iron bucket was boiled by the residual heat of the gold ingot, Wei Ran took out the gold nugget, wiped it with a towel, and gently placed it on the electronic scale he bought together.
Glancing at the words "989.4g" on the screen, Wei Ran nodded with satisfaction and threw the gold bar, which was slightly smaller than a women's cigarette case and slightly rough in casting, into another one filled with water.
The temperature in the iron barrel continued to cool down, and the melting and casting of the second gold bar began without any distractions.
As he was busy, one piece of gold bar after another was thrown into the iron bucket, and the number of gold nuggets with the Nazi mark remaining at his feet became less and less.
After working hard all afternoon, Wei Ran, who was sweating profusely, turned off the gold melting furnace and took off his insulating clothing.
After taking a short rest, Wei Yan waited for the gold melting equipment to cool down and moved it out one by one. Then he took out a dry towel from the suitcase and put the remaining residue on the food box and the kerosene lighter that was also placed in the food box.
Diesel and a little yellow sand from the Sahara Desert were carefully wiped clean, and then all the cast gold bars were wiped dry and carefully put in.
"This is considered a huge fortune, right? The safe I bought in advance should probably be delivered to my home..."
Wei Ran picked up a piece of foundry scrap that was as big as a finger and compared the size with the kerosene lighter in his other hand, and then easily bit the scrap piece of scrap with his teeth. His face covered with sweat stains,
He couldn't help but show the joyful expression of an old farmer after a good harvest.
After putting away the food box and carefully cleaning the water stains on the floor, Wei Ran stood up and quietly left the room and headed towards the bathroom in the east wing again.
