An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

Jiang Baobin picked up the suitcase and weighed it in his hand. Wow, it's really heavy!

You don't even need to look to know; it must be the yellow and white stuff that Zhao Zhibang prepared for his escape.

He didn't rush to check it and directly put it into his spatial storage.

Go back and continue practicing darts.

However, I couldn't calm my mind—this Yanzi Li San really has a knack for it!

It was able to get within twenty meters of me.

Not to mention that his hearing is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people, just considering that he wears glasses, his hearing is no joke.

But he still managed to get this close.

If he wanted to harm himself, it would be a piece of cake.

It seems that I still have a long way to go in the pursuit of martial arts!

The moves are all ready-made now; all I'm missing is an internal energy cultivation technique.

Kundalini, Wave-Wrapping, and Fetal Breathing are not included; those are for avoiding cold and water.

Only techniques like "Nine Yang Divine Skill" and "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill" will work.

Although they are all fictional stories from martial arts novels.

But I'm in a virtual movie world, so who dares to say that kind of kung fu doesn't exist?

Okay, there probably aren't any, because Liu Ling'er is not that fond of seeking out famous teachers and experts.

It's nothing more than fighting and brawling with fists and feet.

Give myself some more time, and I'm still very confident I can beat her.

Jiang Baobin had indeed done some research and even asked martial arts practitioners at Tianqiao.

The martial arts techniques mentioned in novels such as "Yi Jin Jing", "Xi Sui Jing", and "Tai Chi Internal Kung Fu" do exist in reality.

However, obtaining the true teachings is not easy.

The Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing are both unique martial arts techniques of Shaolin.

Needless to say, Tai Chi Internal Kung Fu was created by a Taoist from Wudang.

I can't very well become a monk or a Taoist priest, can I?

However, it's nothing to the system; it's a god-like existence!

Jiang Baobin is now hoping that the system will grant him an internal skill inheritance.

Speaking of the system, it has been updating for so many days now, why is there still no movement?

It's okay if you're a coward, but how can I quickly improve my strength?

How can you become a peerless master without rapidly improving your strength?

The system? Terrible!

Back in his room, Jiang Baobin took out the box.

Good heavens, there are 7 large yellow croakers, 42 small yellow croakers, as well as gold watches, jewelry, and several hundred dollars in foreign currency.

If what Yanzi Li San said is true.

If we multiply these assets by 2...

Zhao Zhibang, the branch chief, has really amassed a lot of wealth through extortion!

Conversely, this hit his weak spot.

I can't run away, and now I have no money left. I'm just a trapped beast.

Hmph! You deserve it!

If it weren't for him, would I be unable to go home and end up causing all this trouble?

The bag contained very few gold yuan notes.

From this, Jiang Baobin concluded: Zhao Zhibang is not even going to Nanjing anymore, he's going to run abroad!

But now he doesn't need to go anywhere. He's embezzled so much; who knows how many bad things he's done before.

As a police chief, it's impossible for him to have no blood on his hands, right?

Therefore, they can only wait anxiously for the unknown verdict of their fate.

The thought of the torment Zhao Zhibang would suffer and his ultimate fate was unbearable.

Jiang Baobin felt one word: awesome!

××××××

Since the siege of Beiping, a large number of foreigners have fled the city.

Therefore, he left behind a lot of equipment, and now gasoline is no longer a big problem for Jiang Baobin.

So he spent very little money to rent a Dodge WC pickup truck.

Flower growers prefer to call it a "medium-sized jeep".

The standard load capacity of this vehicle is three-quarters of a ton.

But Jiang Baobin didn't care about any of that. He raised the guardrail and extended it further back, packing in as much as he could.

Carrying two or three tons is a common occurrence, as long as the vehicle can still move.

Since it's not my own anyway, it's not a big deal if it gets scrapped.

No one from the car rental company was supervising him.

Everyone had the same thought—to make a little money if possible, and everyone knew it was only a matter of time before the car changed hands.

Why did he want to rent a car?

His grain and coal must be shipped out as soon as possible.

Especially the coal, there's a huge pile of it!

After entering January, Lao Fu must be secretly negotiating with the CCP.

Who knows when news of the negotiations will come out and the price of these goods will plummet!

The first customer was contacted by Liu Decai.

Some people paid with gold or silver dollars, while others paid for antiques directly after setting a price.

Later, Liu Decai no longer needed to worry about it.

People in their circle helped introduce business to them.

The entire city of Beiping could now be described as an ice city.

The TG arrived too quickly, and no household had stored much fuel.

Once the city is besieged, the coal supply will be cut off.

Logically, since there were vegetables available for sale, the government had no reason to cut off the coal supply.

Just kidding. When it comes to firewood, rice, oil, and salt, firewood comes first.

The problem is that the camel caravans that were previously responsible for transporting the coal have gone on strike!

Because the journey was too long, it was unclear who might have robbed them along the way.

A combination of factors led to Jiang Baobin's business becoming incredibly successful.

In business, there will naturally be customers who don't have the means to prepare things themselves and will request home delivery.

This is why Jiang Baobin needed to rent a car.

Business is good, but there are also troubles. You have to get up early and work late to deliver goods. You're so busy every day that you're practically running around like crazy.

He stopped putting on airs and became a truck driver, looking like a coal miner all day.

After a period of hard work, he discovered that business was booming in both places.

One of them sells alcohol.

Many people with guilty consciences, who can't escape their predicaments, can only drown their sorrows in alcohol.

Then there's the Eight Great Hutongs.

After getting drunk and confused, I couldn't control my lower body.

But this aligns with their theory: a life of debauchery, dying in the arms of a beautiful woman...

While Jiang Baobin was experiencing both pain and joy, someone else was burdened with a head full of worries!

new York.

The New Year has passed, and the cold wind is biting.

The concrete jungle makes the metropolis seem even more desolate.

Rose pushed open the door to the coffee shop and looked around for a while.

Only then did I notice Elizabeth sitting in the corner, lost in thought.

She walked over, taking off her coat as she asked:

"Lili, are you alright? You seem to have lost a lot of weight?"

Elizabeth didn't answer, but just stared intently at Rose.

"What's wrong?" Rose looked down at herself, puzzled.

After she sat down, Elizabeth asked, "Rose, we're friends, right?"

Rose laughed, wondering why her friend had asked such a nonsensical question.

"Of course, Lily, we are good friends."

Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief: "I have something I want to tell you. Can you keep it a secret for me?"

"Okay, don't worry."

Elizabeth took a deep breath: "Rose, I'm pregnant!"

The small spoon that was stirring the coffee suddenly stopped in Rose's hand.

I cursed him several times in my mind, "That bastard!"

"Achoo! Achoo..." Someone thousands of miles away is sneezing like crazy again.

What's wrong? Did I catch a cold? No, I feel perfectly fine.

Could Elizabeth be talking about me? I should send her a message as soon as I pass the Telegraph Building.

That woman is crazy, she wouldn't actually come, would she...?
