Courtyard House: Passing through the Silly Pillar, Activating the Blessed Cave Heaven

While the spy was still trying to persuade the man in the top hat, He Yuzhu quietly picked up a brick, suddenly stood up, and hurled it hard at the spy's head.

The spy had barely heard the news and turned around when a brick struck him hard in the face, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

The sudden turn of events startled the man in the top hat. He immediately rushed forward, picked up the cigarette that the agent had dropped, and pointed it warily at He Yuzhu.

"Comrades, please don't misunderstand! I sell steamed buns. A group of Kuomintang soldiers came by on the street just now, and I was afraid they would steal my buns, so I hid here." He Yuzhu held up the wooden box containing the steamed buns, opened the lid to show them, and said, "I heard you talking just now and know that you are comrades of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army."

My name is He Yuzhu, and I admire you heroes who fought for the people the most.

The man in the top hat put away his cigarette and said in a deep voice, "Thank you very much for saving my life, Comrade He."

"My name is Li Ze. We need to clean up the scene quickly." The two checked and found that the Kuomintang agent had died from a fractured skull, and blood had soaked the ground.

They dragged the spy's body into the yard, scraped the blood off the ground with bricks, and then dug up the blood-stained soil and buried it at the base of the wall.

Li Ze only found a few banknotes on the spy.

"Comrade Yuzhu, I need to report this to my superiors immediately." Li Ze handed the money he had found to He Yuzhu. "This spice rack is inconvenient to carry, so hide it here for now. You should also leave quickly and be extra careful on the road."

After handing the money he had taken from the spy to He Yuzhu, Li Ze hurriedly left.

He Yuzhu watched his figure disappear into the distance. After confirming that no one was around, he returned to the courtyard and put the body of the Kuomintang agent and his accomplice into the Blessed Land.

After entering the space, he dragged the spy's body to the grassland below and picked up a shovel to start digging a pit.

The soil here is very soft, so the digging progressed quickly, and soon a pit about 1.5 meters deep was dug.

After burying the body, He Yuzhu stored the Qiang in the Wuji Hall and then returned to the real world.

Looking at the scattered bricks on the ground, He Yuzhu had the idea of ​​collecting building materials—these bricks could be used to build a chicken coop next spring.

He immediately started cleaning up and soon the floor was spotless.

He looked around the abandoned courtyard house: there were three main rooms, four side rooms, three rooms each in the east and west wings, and traces of a stable remained next to the south-facing rear building.

The mottled walls indicate that no one has lived here for a long time. He Yuzhu speculates that the original owner of this courtyard was probably a wealthy family who fled south during the war.

The stone roller and millstone in the south corner caught his attention.

Just as he was struggling to move the two stone artifacts, a panoramic view of the blessed land suddenly unfolded in his mind.

With a thought, the two stone artifacts flew to the waterfall in the space on their own.

This unexpected discovery thrilled him – he realized that he could manipulate the layout of space in this way.

The emergence of new abilities sparked his desire to explore.

He placed his palm on the wall of the main room, and wherever his mind focused, the internal structure of the entire building was clearly presented before his eyes.

He discovered a hidden cellar under the bed in the east room, containing three wooden boxes.
