Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Qinghe Farm.

Wang Feng released the two armed men back to their post. They felt a moment of disorientation, thinking they had dozed off. They shook their heads, then perked up and stared intently at the open grassland.

Wang Feng had now circled around to the side of the two armed men, and was no longer within their sight. He quickly and quietly jogged toward a dark corner.

Within a radius of several hundred meters from the guard tower, the area was brightly lit and easily spotted. Only by hiding in the darkness could he, with his spiritual awareness, gain the upper hand.

Wang Feng jogged at a moderate pace on the farm, about 60 yards per minute. If he jogged too fast, the noise would be difficult to control; if he jogged too slow, he would be immediately discovered if the two armed men turned around and looked in his direction.

In less than twenty seconds, Wang Feng successfully ran to a dark corner without attracting anyone's attention.

Standing in the darkness, Wang Feng used his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, trying to find the location of the prison cell.

Unfortunately, the farm was too large, and his spiritual sense only extended to sixty meters, so he couldn't detect any useful clues at all.

Wang Feng frowned. This was a bit troublesome. Such a large farm would not only be a waste of time to search haphazardly, but it would also be very likely to be discovered by the patrol team.

He stood there thinking about a solution, and soon an idea came to him.

He looked into the distance and saw several faint lights. He quickly chose the direction of one of the faint lights and headed towards it.

According to the information provided by Lou San, this farm is a small to medium-sized farm with about 1,800 prisoners serving their sentences there. However, he guessed that since this is a place where prisoners are serving their sentences, the lights must be on even at night, which would make it easier for the guards to patrol and prevent prisoners from escaping or committing suicide.

Wang Feng had only jogged a few hundred meters when he suddenly saw a bright light shining towards him. He knew without a doubt that it must be the patrol team. There was no cover in his location, just a flat area. If he were to be blinded by the flashlight, he would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, he flashed and quickly entered the space to hide.

Wang Feng couldn't see outside from inside the space. He waited for about three minutes before leaving.

Once outside, Wang Feng quickly surveyed his surroundings. Seeing that the patrol team had already gone far away, he continued jogging towards the direction of the faint light.

Along the way, he encountered two more patrol teams. Wang Feng used his spatial ability to evade their detection. He then ran forward for about two hundred meters and finally arrived at a corner near the lights.

Looking at the earthen wall more than two meters high not far ahead, there was an armed man standing guard on top of the wall, barbed wire strung on the wall, and glass shards stuck in the wall. Wang Feng's spiritual sense probed into it.

When he saw that this was the female prisoners' cell, his brows furrowed deeply. He hadn't expected that such a small to medium-sized farm would be so heavily guarded and patrolled.

He came all the way from the earthen wall outside the farm to this place, where there was only open grass everywhere and not a single piece of cover in sight. Even after he arrived at the prison cell, there was an earthen wall surrounding the cell. The level of security was comparable to that of a government compound.

Wang Feng stood thirty meters away from the earthen wall. His spiritual sense only had a range of sixty meters, which was not enough to investigate the entire women's prison. After thinking for a moment, he had no choice but to do the same as before and put the armed guard on the watchtower into his spatial storage.

With that thought, he summoned the armed guard on the watchtower into his spatial storage. Then, like a cheetah, he leaped over the three-meter-high earthen wall and entered the women's prison cell.

Upon entering the women's cell, his spiritual sense quickly began to search in all directions, trying to find Tanya Li.

The prison cells here are all made of adobe, and everyone sleeps on a large communal bed. Each cell is about forty square meters, but there are usually more than thirty people living in them.

Wang Feng searched each cell one by one, and finally found Tan Yali's trail in the eighth cell.

At this moment, Tanya Li was sleeping on the communal bed, wearing her labor reform uniform, her hair disheveled, looking very disheveled and haggard. She had also lost weight. When she closed her eyes, she looked like she was asleep, but her brows were deeply furrowed, and her body was trembling slightly.

Wang Feng didn't have time to worry about anything else. Without thinking, he immediately put Tan Yali into his spatial storage.

Now that we've found the person, what else is there to say? Let's get them out of here first.

Having successfully taken Tanya Li into the space warehouse, Wang Feng was just about to leave when he saw another patrol team coming to patrol from the side. He instantly burst into full speed, running at 160 miles per hour to the earthen wall, and with a leap, jumped over it.

Reaching a dark spot thirty meters away, Wang Feng put the armed guard back in his original position and headed towards another cell block.

The cell where Tan Yali was just now is full of women. There are about a dozen cells, and there are about five hundred female prisoners.

He was lucky this time; he found Tanya Li in only the eighth cell. If he had been any slower, he would have encountered the patrol team and had to hide in his spatial dimension again.

However, he had already stored the armed guards on duty in his spatial dimension. If he stayed hidden there for too long, and the patrol team discovered that the guards were missing, it would be troublesome.

Wang Feng ran forward for about a hundred meters and arrived at the second cell. Like the previous cells, this one also had a two-meter-high earthen wall with barbed wire, and a guard was standing on the earthen wall.

He used the same old method, putting the armed guard into the spatial warehouse, jumping inside the earthen wall, and began searching for Lou Bancheng's whereabouts.

This is the men's cell, and the facilities are similar to those of the women's cell. They are both mud-brick houses, and the men sleep on large communal beds. The rooms are over 40 square meters in size and house more than 30 people.

Wang Feng searched all the cells, a total of fifteen cells, but still couldn't find Lou Bancheng.

Seeing this, Wang Feng was not discouraged. There were nearly two thousand people on the farm, but only four or five hundred were female prisoners, all of whom lived in the same cell as before. It would be easier to find Tan Yali.

Jumping over the earthen wall and reaching a distance of thirty meters from the cell, Wang Feng released the armed guards back to their posts and continued towards the next cell.

Following the same method, Wang Feng found another prison cell, but unfortunately, he still couldn't find Lou Bancheng's whereabouts.

Qinghe Farm has about 1,800 prisoners, with more than 400 female prisoners, close to 500, and about 1,400 male prisoners. Assuming that each cell holds 400 to 500 people, there can only be a maximum of three male cells. He had already searched two of them, so Lou Bancheng must be in the last one.

With that in mind, Wang Feng continued toward the last cell with a light on.
