Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Wang Feng pushed his bicycle out of No. 95 compound and encountered many residents who were on their way to work at the steel rolling mill. Several residents asked him if he was going to the countryside to buy supplies, but he replied that he was going to go hunting in the mountains.

After some inquiries and word-of-mouth, many people in the courtyard learned that he was going hunting in the deep mountains in the next few days.

In this way, as long as he returns with one or two large wild boars, he will have an alibi, and it will be difficult for the Lou Bancheng couple to suspect him when they go missing.

Wang Feng arrived at courtyard number 28 and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Son, I'll have lunch here today. Please make dinner earlier for me. I need to leave the city before dark."

Lou Xiao'e asked, "Brother Feng, are you planning to take action tonight?"

Wang Feng nodded: "Yes, I've arranged all the details, so you can rest assured."

"By the way, Jingru probably won't be able to come and keep you company for the next few days. She'll be staying with Banxia in courtyard number 95 while I'm gone. Banxia has only recently joined our family and isn't quite used to it yet, so please be understanding."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and waved her hand: "Brother Feng, don't worry. It was my suggestion to let Sister Jingru spend more time with Banxia and get to know her better. How could I be angry? Our family has so many secrets, we can't be careless."

"Okay, that's good."

Wang Feng was very pleased. Now, Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e always put the interests of the Wang family first, which made him very satisfied. These were the women who could accompany him for the rest of his life.

As for Lu Banxia, ​​I haven't spent much time with her yet. Although I feel that she has made great progress in serving people, I still can't completely trust her.

Wang Feng would only consider gradually integrating Lu Banxia into their family after he was certain that Lu Banxia's heart was completely on their side.

At noon, Lou Xiao'e made a braised pork dish and a stir-fried mutton with scallions, which Wang Feng and Lou Xiao'e ate together.

Qin Jingru also made these two dishes yesterday, and it's obvious that Lou Xiao'e's cooking was not as good as Qin Jingru's.

However, the difference wasn't significant; both dishes were incredibly delicious, comparable to those prepared by a state banquet chef. According to Wang Feng's assessment, Lou Xiao'e's two dishes were about 90% as good as Qin Jingru's.

After lunch, Wang Feng accompanied Lou Xiao'e for another nap.

Lou Xiao'e was particularly enthusiastic during this afternoon nap. She wanted to merge her whole being into Wang Feng's body, and she squeezed Wang Feng twice in a row before getting up to prepare dinner.

Lou Xiao'e was deeply moved by Wang Feng's actions. The fact that Wang Feng was willing to risk his life to save her parents was enough to prove his true feelings for her.

Regardless of whether Wang Feng had meticulous planning or foolproof arrangements, if this matter were to be discovered, he would definitely lose his head, or at the very least, receive a life sentence.

Dinner was very simple. Lou Xiao'e just heated up the leftovers from lunch and started eating around 4 p.m.

It was exactly five o'clock in the afternoon when they finished eating. Wang Feng instructed Lou Xiao'e, "Son, I'll be back in a day or two at the earliest. I promise you'll be able to see your parents. I won't be in Beijing for the next couple of days, so be extra careful and don't leave the courtyard, understand?"

Lou Xiao'e's eyes reddened, and she suddenly threw herself into Wang Feng's arms, tears of emotion streaming down her face. She said firmly:

"Brother Feng, you must come back safely. If anything happens to you, I will never live on alone."

Wang Feng patted Lou Xiao'e on the back and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I promise I'll come back safely."

With that, Wang Feng ruthlessly pushed away Lou Xiao'e, who was clinging to him tightly, and pushed his bicycle out of the yard.

Lou Xiao'e quickly closed the courtyard gate, staring intently at it. After a while, she slowly walked back into her room.

After leaving courtyard number 28, Wang Feng rode his bicycle towards the outskirts of the city.

If he wanted to leave the city after dark, the checks would be stricter, so he had to leave before dark to avoid any accidents.

It took him twenty minutes to cycle to reach the outskirts of the city.

Wang Feng rode towards Baoding for more than an hour until it was completely dark, at which point he stored the bicycle away in his storage space.

For safety's sake, he took out a night-clothes from his spatial storage and put them on, then took out a black hood and put it on. He then began to run wildly toward Baoding.

There were no satellites or anything like that in this era, so Wang Feng wasn't afraid of being discovered in this shocking scene. However, just in case, it was better to wear a hood. If he wasn't careful and was discovered by some refugees fleeing famine, it would be troublesome.

Wang Feng always does things meticulously, and he prefers to be cautious in any situation to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Wang Feng sprinted at full speed, reaching a speed of 160 miles per hour. The trees on the road rushed past, and a buzzing sound filled his ears.

This was the first time Wang Feng had run at full speed since his physique had reached such a high level. At 160 miles per hour, he was several times faster than a car of this era.

If someone saw Wang Feng running wildly at this moment, they would definitely think they had seen a ghost.

With such speed and dressed entirely in black, it would be terrifying to anyone.

Wang Feng's overall physical condition is now more than twenty times that of an ordinary person. He is not only fast and has strong defense, but his eyesight is also far superior to that of ordinary people.

On this moonless night, the road was pitch black, but Wang Feng could still see clearly. However, with his current eyesight, he could only see clearly within a range of thirty meters, after which the vision gradually became blurry.

His spiritual awareness also activated at this moment. After all, 160 miles per hour was too fast. If he couldn't brake in time and crashed into a tree or fell into a ditch, it would be embarrassing.

Currently, his spiritual sense can detect objects up to 60 meters away, and it can even see the smallest specks of dust. With 60 meters as a buffer, he doesn't need to worry about obstacles in front of him at all.

Wang Feng took a step that covered more than one meter, nearly two meters. His legs seemed to be equipped with springs, each push-off carrying an explosive force far beyond that of ordinary people, propelling him forward at high speed.

However, he took each step very lightly, without leaving any footprints on the ground. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives noticed the footprints, they might think that aliens had invaded.

The distance from Beijing to Baoding is about 160 kilometers, and it is generally a gravel road, which is quite hard. If you were to leave footprints on such a gravel road, it would be absolutely astonishing.
