……

……

January 9, 1964, the 25th day of the 11th lunar month, the third nine-day period of winter.

When the coldest days of winter arrive, and the frost and wind howl fiercely.

Heavy snow was falling in the eastern suburbs of the capital.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Xu Damao lay sprawled on the snow, wincing and groaning in pain.

The bicycle lay overturned beside the road, and the projector, screen, speakers, and other equipment strapped to the back seat were scattered all over the ground.

Liu Hao knelt on the ground, clutching his crotch, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Xu Damao.

It wasn't anger, it was shock.

Holy crap, Xu Damao is absolutely loyal?

"Xu...Xu Damao?"

Xu Damao, who was cursing, was stunned and looked at the guy who had knocked over his bicycle with his hip with suspicion.

She was young, quite pretty, with very fair skin, almost like a woman.

"Kid, do you know me?"

Having caught his breath, Liu Hao stood up, rubbing his burning crotch with his right hand.

Second brother, thank you for your hard work.

"I've heard of you. You're the projectionist from the Third Steel Rolling Mill. You've shown movies in our village before. Your projection skills are superb; the villagers all praised you."

Liu Hao casually praised him, and Xu Damao's resentment vanished instantly. He beamed and said, "Haha, young brother, you have a good eye. You won't find another one like me in the entire capital with my projection skills."

"I'm not bragging, but I'm highly valued by the leadership. In the Third Steel Rolling Mill, everyone has to listen to me on matters big and small..."

Good grief, you're getting all worked up just because I said you're fat?

Liu Hao curled his lip. This guy really is just like the character in the show, vain and glib.

Automatically ignoring Xu Damao's incessant self-praise, Liu Hao looked up at the heavy snow with a touch of melancholy.

This is what got me into a world of love in the courtyard?

An hour ago, he was a sophomore at Dongbei University of Finance and Economics. He had no classes on Saturday and was planning to go out with his new junior classmate to book a double room and discuss art.

As I walked out of the school gate with my cute, shy junior, a 100-ton truck came hurtling towards us.

He instinctively shoved the female student aside, and was himself thrown into the air.

Flying in the air, he was still wondering why there was a hundred-ton king at the university gate.

Then, he heard his junior's scream and gradually lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in the roadside grass, next to a corpse that looked exactly like him, with purplish-red skin, pants half-pulled up, and hands covering its chest. There was a pile of feces half a meter to his left.

This terrifying scene almost gave him a heart attack.

After calming down, he hurriedly took out his phone to call the police, but to his surprise, the Huawei Mate 80RS, which supports satellite emergency calls, had no signal and could not make satellite calls.

Looking around, I saw two Jiefang CA10 trucks driving by on the road not far away, and then I realized that I had traveled through time.

So be it. He's the kind of person who's fine as long as he's alive, or even if he's dead. He doesn't care about anything. His parents and grandparents also died in the disaster that broke out 20 years ago. He has no ties to anyone.

He accepted the fact that he had been transported to another world at lightning speed, and began... looting the corpse!

In those days, you needed a letter of introduction to go out. It was normal for rural people to never have been to the city in their entire lives. Enemy agents were quite rampant, and the public's awareness of prevention was extremely strong. Unregistered residents could hardly move an inch. There was a 99.9% chance that they would be arrested by the relevant departments and given a few memory recovery techniques to make sure they could clearly explain how many times they had read textbooks late at night.

Isn't this corpse that looks exactly like him an arrangement of God?

The body was named Liu Hao, the same name as him, 20 years old, the same age as him, from Renjia Village, Tongxian County.

Besides identification, the bag also contained a graduation certificate from the Capital Finance and Trade Cadre School, a job introduction letter from the Third Steel Rolling Mill, two yellowed photos, 37.5 yuan notes, half a pack of Flying Pigeon cigarettes, a box of matches, two sets of clothes, and a diary.

It's obvious that this guy was on his way to report to the Third Steel Rolling Mill when he stopped to relieve himself in the bushes, suffered a sudden heart attack, and died before he could even pull up his pants.

This kind of death is really embarrassing!

Looking through the diary, it was discovered that Liu Hao, who had died, was an abandoned baby. His adoptive father found him in 1943 while fleeing famine in a certain place in Shaanxi Province. They fled all the way to Tongxian County and settled there. His adoptive father passed away two years ago.

It's good to not have family; it saves me trouble.

Liu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was going to take this guy's place and live on, he had to make sure the deceased was properly buried.

The problem is, in the dead of winter, without any tools, how do you dig a hole?

Just as he was struggling with this problem, the system with its illegible and bizarre name arrived.

How bizarre is it?

The system that makes you stronger by slapping people!

You can earn palm coins by slapping others, one coin per slap. Palm coins can be used to purchase items in the shop that are no more advanced than the technology of the current era.

Perhaps to prevent the host from being killed, the newbie gift pack included a Mighty Vajra Pill, a storage space measuring 10 meters long x 5 meters wide x 5 meters high with a volume of 250 cubic meters, two sets of black Zhongshan suits, two down jackets in the style of the 1960s, two sets of cashmere thermal underwear, two pairs of wool socks, two pairs of black suede boots, and two sets of bedding.

After taking the intimidating-sounding and incredibly effective Mighty Vajra Pill, his height increased from 1.81 meters to 1.84 meters. His already good physique was transformed into a golden inverted triangle, and even the curves of his knuckles exuded a powerful beauty.

Its strength isn't very strong, at most only the power of ten pillars!

He put his phone and Liu Hao's (sudden death version) body into his spatial storage, changed his clothes, and swaggered out. When he saw someone riding a bicycle, he instinctively walked to the middle of the road, intending to ask for directions.

As a result, the snow on the road was too thick and slippery, and Xu Damao couldn't brake in time, crashing straight into us.

If he hadn't taken the Mighty Vajra Pill, his second brother would definitely be ruined.

The Third Steel Rolling Mill—no wonder the name of the company on the job introduction letter sounded so familiar.

Am I going to have to live in the courtyard house at number 95 too?

Liu Hao's mind automatically conjured up images of the talented people in the courtyard: Yi Zhonghai, a moral exemplar; He Yuzhu, a man of good words and deeds; He Yushui, kind and innocent; Jia Zhangshi, with a kind face; Bang Geng, who was smart and sensible; Liu Haizhong, who was indifferent to fame and fortune; Yan Fugui, who was charitable; the deaf old lady with sharp hearing and eyesight; Qin Huairu, who was pure and virtuous; Lou Xiao'e, who was wise and protective of her husband... and Xu Damao, who was in front of him and did not covet fame and fortune and was self-disciplined.

Everyone in the courtyard was talented, spoke well, and lived in harmony with their neighbors, but he didn't want to go.

Wait, something's not right!

Liu Hao suddenly realized that the system of becoming stronger by slapping people seemed to only be useful in the courtyard house!

Because the courtyard house was a lawless place, a general meeting of the whole courtyard was held for any matter, big or small. With three upright officials sitting there, even criminal cases could be settled.

"Oh my god, Damao, what happened to you?"

A clear, melodious voice, tinged with a hint of Northeastern accent, came from behind him, and Liu Hao subconsciously turned his head to look.

The next second, he froze.

Through the snow, a girl slowly rode a Phoenix brand 26-inch women's bicycle with some difficulty. She wore a beige turtleneck sweater, gray cotton pants, a military-style wool coat, black cloth shoes, and red woolen socks. A Lei Feng hat covered half of her face, revealing only a section of her fair jawline.

But as she drew closer, her features, visible beneath the brim of her hat, revealed a striking resemblance to the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, yet she possessed a more vibrant youthful energy, making her even more captivating.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her skin was like solidified cream. Her simple clothes could not hide her natural beauty at all; on the contrary, they made her even more dazzling.

Liu Hao's heart suddenly raced. Oh no, it was the feeling of being smitten!
