Chapter 519

1994 Hope Farm

It was afternoon now, Manna was tired of playing on the bed and fell asleep. The child didn't know what was going on outside, and she still had to play, eat, sleep, and be carefree.

Tara packed everything that needed to be packed.

Now Manna, who is sleeping, is keeping her own diary. She wants to record what happened today in detail.This is for Manna to see later.

If the farm can no longer stay, they have to move, and there is no way to keep a diary on the way.Tara didn't know where they were going, so she asked the old grandmother, and the old grandmother smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes."

Then don't think about it, just go with the flow.

When Tara finished writing, she closed the diary, put it in the iron box that the letter was in, and put it back in the box.

Tara looked at the time. It was only four o'clock, and there was still some time before dark.

She went out into the yard and looked out.

The old grandmother also came out of her house.

The two stood together in the yard.

The cattle and sheep on the grassland did not know where they were driven.

It is especially quiet without their calls and noises.

In this way the occasional gunshots from Harrods were particularly noticeable.

The gunfire became more and more intense.

"Don't be afraid, Tara."

The old grandmother comforted her.

Tara patted the gun on her waist, "I'm not afraid, I have this...I can protect you..."

The old grandmother thought to herself: I really encountered bandits, and your gun is useless.

But she didn't say a word, and she couldn't put any more pressure on her.

She knew that Tara should have been a charming lady before, and now that she experienced these things, her life has completely changed. Although she is also a person of noble blood, she has experienced much more than her anyway.

The two stood silently in the yard, thinking about each other.

Then I saw Carlos running over on horseback.

He just went to investigate in the direction of the town.

"Grandmother, Mubak got into trouble with them. Those gangsters are not friendly. It seems that Mubak may not be able to delay until dark. He told us to move now."

"Okay. Tell everyone to move quickly."

"I'll send you off first and then notify the others." Carlos jumped off his horse and ran into the yard instead.

Tara was wondering if she was going to be transferred or not to drive the carriage?

The old grandmother: "Tara, come on, go into the house and put Manna on your back, it will be more convenient."

Tara followed into the house.

The old grandmother put Manna on her back and tied it with braces.

Manna continued to sleep on her shoulders.

The old grandmother said: "Pick up the box and follow me."

Tara followed Manna to the old grandmother's house with the suitcase on her back.

Carlos was already waiting in the house.

The old grandmother opened a wardrobe door, and there was only one piece of clothing in the wardrobe.

Carlos: "I'll do it."

Bending down to remove a partition at the bottom of the closet, I saw the floor.

Carlos felt the hook-like thing in the closet and turned it clockwise, and Tara saw the floor under the closet suddenly move away, revealing a hole.

"My God, what's the matter? Is the cellar down there?"

The cellar Tara still knew, she had seen the cellar in San Francisco, Tred had a vineyard, and the cellar was used to store wine.

The old grandmother: "Well, it's a cellar, but the bottom is not just a simple cellar, but also a tunnel, which can lead to that... Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go down and talk slowly.

Carlos, come get the food down first. "

Carlos brought over two large cloth bags of food that had been packed in the kitchen.

"Tara, help me shine the flashlight..."

I don't know when the old grandmother got two more flashlights in her hand, and handed Tara one for herself.

Tara took the flashlight and shone it into the entrance of the cave. By the light of the flashlight, she saw stone steps extending down from the entrance of the cave.

Carlos went down the stone steps carrying two cloth bags, and came up again after a while, standing at the top of the stairs and saying, "Give me the box and the basket."

When Carlos came up again, he reached out to the old grandmother, "Come on, old grandmother, be careful."

The old grandmother walked to the entrance of the cave: "Tara, follow me."

"Ok."

Carlos led the old grandmother in front, and Tara followed Manna with a flashlight on her back. There were only a dozen steps and they were quickly completed.

Carlos had already illuminated the lantern hanging on the wall, and Tara could clearly see that this was a cellar storage room, with a lot of things in it, including a bed and a table, which had already been made, Tara noticed The blanket on the bed belonged to the old grandmother.

The old grandmother: "How is it? Are you surprised? I came down last night to clean up. Come, put Manna down."

Tara thought to herself that you have already prepared, no wonder you are not worried at all.

"Yes, it was a pleasant surprise."

Carlos said, "I'll go up first, so don't come out casually."

"Well, don't worry."

Carlos went up, and Tara saw that the hole was closed, and there was no gap to be seen.

Tara sat on the bed, looking at Manna who was still awake.

The old grandmother sat at the table sorting the food in the bag.

Grandmother: "Don't worry, we are safe hiding in the tunnel. We have so much food and water, we can stay for ten days and a half months. There is food in other places, enough to eat..."

"Another place?"

"Yes, there is one under every house like this. They will hide in it just like us. Haha, those bandits can't find anything when they come."

The old grandmother spoke triumphantly.

It is not surprising that every household digs a Tara cellar, because in some areas of the United States, many people have cellars for storage or protection from tornadoes.

But she remembered that the old grandmother also said that there are tunnels besides cellars.

"Grandmother, is there a tunnel down there? Where does the tunnel lead to?"

Grandmother: "Yes, it leads to every house."

"Every household? Oh, that's incredible."

Grandma: "Yes, from our house to Sam's house, Carlos's house, Pete Chen's house...every house on the farm is connected by tunnels.

Tara was surprised: "This, isn't this a huge project? How did you think of digging a tunnel?"

Grandmother: "At the beginning, the farm was built according to the design of Master Pete Chen. Not only the pattern on the top, but also the tunnel below. It is indeed a huge project. It took several years to prevent just in case."

Tara: "Who is Pete Chen's master?"

Grandmother: "Oh, that was a good man, but unfortunately he is no longer here. Many years have passed..."

Tara stopped asking.

Grandmother: "I thought it would be useless in this life, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today."

Manna rolled over and opened her eyes,

She found an unfamiliar environment around her, and subconsciously shouted: "Mommy, Mommy..."

"Oh baby, are you awake? Mommy is here, and so is Grandma."

Tara comforted her.

Manna stood up on the bed, looked around curiously, and pointed to the stairs.

"Baby, we can't go out, we can only stay here."

Manna refused to listen, crying and pointing to the stairs.

The old grandmother: "Put her down and let her climb, she won't be able to climb out anyway."

Tara had no choice but to put the shoes on her and let her down.

Manna ran over and climbed up the stone ladder. When there was no way to go up, she came down again, and then began to climb up again, never tired of doing it.

At first Tara was worried that she couldn't get out and cried, but in the end she used the stone ladder as a play.My heart is also relieved.

Want to drop by Sam's house?

Tara: "How?"

She did not see that there were other exits and passages in the cellar.
