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

31

The three-section courtyard house was about 100 meters deep and about 30 meters wide. He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how much wealth Xu Tieying had amassed.

What surprised him even more was that, with the special ability of the blessed land, he could take control of the entire courtyard by simply walking along the wall, and he could empty everything in the courtyard during the day without having to wait until night.

The east wing of the front yard was piled with medicines, presumably the two hundred boxes of goods. Without hesitation, he put all of these medicines into the Wuji Hall of the Blessed Land.

In his study in the middle courtyard, he discovered a hidden compartment between two walls containing five combination lock boxes and a wooden box, which he also took inside.

After confirming that nothing was missing, He Yuzhu left the alley and headed home.

It happened to be a Sunday, a day off, so He Daqing didn't go to work at the steel rolling mill.

After the father and son met, He Daqing first inquired about his son's progress in learning cooking.

After giving a few perfunctory replies, He Yuzhu played with his younger sister He Yushui for a while, but then got bored and decided to take her to Shichahai for a visit, and see if they could dig up some wild vegetables to transplant to Fudi Dongtian.

So he took a shovel and led his sister to Shichahai.

He Yuzhu led He Yushui on a stroll along the Shichahai beach, where sunlight shone on the water, creating shimmering waves.

The brother and sister carefully searched along the grassy bank and soon filled a basket with wild vegetables, including tender purslane, emerald green shepherd's purse, lamb's quarters, and plantain.

While his sister wasn't looking, He Yuzhu secretly moved some of the wild vegetables into the Blessed Cave.

Looking at the monotonous vegetation in the cave, he casually threw in the few earthworms he had dug up.

Looking at the vibrant scene of Shichahai, He Yuzhu pondered that he should add some insects to the blessed land, such as grasshoppers and crickets, which could not only enrich the ecological environment of the cave, but also be used to feed the chickens.

As the sun rose higher, he took his little sister's hand and walked home.

At the dinner table, He Daqing served steaming hot soup noodles.

While eating, He Yuzhu asked, "Dad, why aren't those two side rooms next to the main house ours?" He Daqing put down his chopsticks and recalled, "When your grandfather bought this house, there were tenants living in the side rooms. Later, they moved out, and the family had enough room, so we didn't buy the side rooms."

"Who owns that side room? It's such a waste to leave it empty. It would be great to buy it and turn it into a kitchen. My master's house has an earthen stove built in a side room," He Yuzhu suggested.

He Daqing's eyes lit up: "The side room belongs to Boss Lou of the steel rolling mill."

"You're right. By the time you get married, the house will be too big for you to live in." The more he thought about it, the more he felt he should buy the side room, and he planned to go to Lou Bancheng tomorrow to discuss it.

After his afternoon nap, He Yuzhu washed his face and said, "Dad, I'm going to see Master."

"Be careful on the road, and get there as soon as possible," He Daqing instructed.

He Yuzhu picked up Xiaoyushui and kissed her: "Be a good little sister, I'll take you out to play again next time." Then he walked out of the house.

After leaving his home, He Yuzhu did not go directly to Wu Baotian's residence, but instead went around to a nearby abandoned house and entered the blessed land.

He was eager to check the things he had taken from Xu Tieying's house that morning.

The first thing that catches the eye is a pile of medicines.

Upon opening the box, it was confirmed that these were all penicillin penicillin, which is currently in very high demand.
