The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens
Chapter 29 Yi Zhonghai's Thoughts
Shortly after Li Xiao received the gift package from the system, he developed a desire to occupy the world's third largest island.
In later generations, this large island was divided among three Southeast Asian countries. Among them, Brunei, located in the northwest of the island near the South China Sea, possessed vast oil and natural gas resources.
Although the later Brunei Kingdom was not large in area and had a population of only about 500,000, it was the richest country in all of South Asia.
How could Li Xiao possibly ignore the fact that this small country, with an area of less than 6,000 square kilometers, possesses so much oil and natural gas?
At that moment, Li Xiao was figuring out how to move the machinery and equipment in the factory. He looked at the pile of boxes in the parking lot and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"These are weapons you produced yourself, it's not unreasonable for me to return them to you!"
What appeared in Li Xiao's line of sight were the more than one hundred ammunition boxes marked with skulls and crossbones.
......
More than an hour later, Li Xiao, fully dressed in protective clothing and wearing a gas mask, returned to the scene.
He directly used spatial cutting to roughly collect the machine fixed on the cement floor into the spatial supermarket.
There are at least several thousand machine tools here, and the warehouse also stores a huge amount of various materials. Li Xiao simply piled up all these industrial materials in the space.
His supermarket has a limited floor area, but its height is unlimited.
With his control over space, there's no need to worry about these supplies being piled up too high and crushing the things below.
Li Xiao returned to Jiang Hui and his wife and followed them back to the house.
"Jiang Hui, you're leaving Fengchuan City with me tonight. There will definitely be a curfew here tomorrow, and you might not be able to get out!"
Jiang Hui and Wu Guimin didn't ask why at all. They immediately packed their luggage and drove away from the city in a dilapidated car.
Li Xiao, on the other hand, used the spatial ability to return to Beijing once again.
The incident at the Toyokawa Naval Arsenal was discovered by the Japanese sentries who came to relieve the guard at six o'clock in the morning.
The piercing alarm sounded throughout the factory area, which was quickly surrounded by security police and the military who rushed to the scene.
When they saw the horrific scene inside the factory, the police chief in charge of the area and the local mayor fainted on the spot.
Major General Tsuo Ono, the military commander stationed in Toyokawa City, suppressed his shock and anger and immediately ordered the entire city to be sealed off. He then promptly reported the situation to his headquarters in Kyoto, the island nation.
Li Xiao had anticipated this situation, so he had already arranged for Jiang Hui and Wu Guimin to leave Fengchuan City overnight and head towards Kyoto in the northeast.
Back in Beijing, Li Xiao checked his watch; it was already 6:20 in the morning.
Li Xiao washed up in his own virtual supermarket, then went to the street to buy some steamed buns and fried dough sticks before returning to his own courtyard house.
Some time ago, he found Yangshi Lei and spent a day opening a new gate on the south wall of his east courtyard.
In this way, Li Xiao's family will no longer have to take a detour through No. 95 compound to enter and exit.
After the family finished breakfast, Li Xiao prepared to go to Zhengyangchun Restaurant to see how business was going.
Just then, there was a knock on the gate connecting their backyard to No. 95.
Li Xiao opened the gate and saw Yi Zhonghai standing outside his door. He frowned almost imperceptibly.
"Hey, Master Yi, what's up?"
The children in courtyard number 95 all called him Uncle Yi, but Li Xiao always addressed him as Master Yi, which left Yi Zhonghai with a lingering resentment.
Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile and asked, "Little Li, is your mother home?"
"Are you at home? Do you need to see her?"
"Ahem, there's something I need to do!"
Li Xiao stepped aside, and Yi Zhonghai entered the east wing.
"Master Yi, what brings you here?"
When Yi Zhonghai saw Wang Xia's fair and delicate face, which looked like that of a woman in her early twenties, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes.
This woman, three years younger than him and a year older than his wife, possessed an alluring mature charm. Coupled with her beautiful and delicate face, Yi Zhonghai felt a strong possessive desire every time he saw Wang Xia.
He has been married to his current wife, Gao Yulan, for over ten years, but unfortunately they have not yet had any children. Therefore, Yi Zhonghai has long been planning to remarry.
He was a fitter at Lou's Steel Plant, and now he earns nine silver dollars a month. With the inheritance left to him by Yi Zhonghai's father, the current Moral Celestial Venerable is fully capable of supporting another woman.
Yi Zhonghai had already succeeded in getting Jia Zhangshi from the Intermediate Court a year ago, but unfortunately, after more than a year of hard work, Jia Zhangshi's belly was still not showing any signs of pregnancy, which made Yi Zhonghai a little suspicious.
"Is the problem with me?"
Wang Xia and Li Xiao noticed the fleeting glint in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.
A feeling of disgust and fear arose in Wang Xia's heart. Her family had fled from the south to escape famine and had finally found a stable place to live. She didn't want anyone to disrupt their relatively peaceful life.
"Ahem... Miss Wang, it's almost the New Year, and these days, due to the increase in disaster victims and the Japanese control, it's becoming increasingly difficult to buy all kinds of meat in Beijing."
"The deaf old lady in the backyard wants to eat dumplings for the New Year. Doesn't your family know Manager Lu of Zhengyangchun Restaurant? So I came here to ask if we can buy some meat from Manager Lu."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he looked intently at Wang Xia.
Wang Xia felt her hair stand on end under his gaze and unconsciously hugged her arms tightly.
Actually, buying some meat was a trivial matter for Li Xiao, but Yi Zhonghai had developed inappropriate thoughts about his mother from the very first day his family moved into the courtyard.
Today, he ran into his own yard, and his eyes even carried that disgusting, naked possessiveness, which made Li Xiao want to kill him.
The reason why this No. 95 courtyard is so eerie is largely due to this old man.
Li Xiao then spoke up: "Master Yi, as you know, there has been a severe drought in Henan Province this year, and many more people have fled to Beijing. Nowadays, the purchase of various meats at Zhengyangchun Restaurant is strictly limited."
"These past few days, many meat dishes at the restaurant have sold out, and they're quite worried about it!"
Li Xiao's words displeased Yi Zhonghai, who then frowned.
"Xiao Li, I see you have a good relationship with that Boss Lu, why don't you go and ask him about it?"
"After all, the old lady is the oldest person in our compound; we should respect the elderly and care for the young!"
Yi Zhonghai has already begun wielding his moral cudgel!
