The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

Once she understood this, an awkward smile immediately appeared on her face, and she pushed the bowl in front of her, which only had nine dumplings left, toward Jia Dongxu.

"Son, you eat it, the rest is all yours!"

Jia Dongxu immediately picked up a dumpling, and just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he turned his chopsticks and put the dumpling back into Lao Jia's bowl.

"Dad, have some dumplings!"

"Yes, good son!"

The anger on Old Jia's face immediately disappeared, and he smiled and patted Jia Dongxu's little head.

In the backyard, at Xu Fugui's house, their New Year's Eve dinner was quite sumptuous, with even two meat dishes.

These meat and vegetables were also a gift from Lou Zhenhua. After all, the couple were his driver and his housekeeper, and Lou Bancheng treated his servants very well.

......

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Li Xiao quietly went to the small courtyard where Wang Min and Zhao Yi lived to visit his aunt and uncle.

He had sent the couple a lot of daily necessities before the Lunar New Year, so their living conditions are now much better than those of other people in Beijing.

During lunch, Zhao Yi asked Li Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, the higher-ups asked me if I could get some more supplies, preferably food."

"Are they running out of supplies again over there?"

Zhao Yi quickly replied, "Our own troops have enough supplies, but the people outside the city..."

As he said this, a sad expression appeared on his face.

Li Xiao understood.

Outside Beijing, many refugees from Henan province were starving or freezing to death every day as the year drew to a close.

Our Party certainly cannot turn a blind eye to this situation.

"Understood. I'll try to get some more food, cotton clothes, and quilts. We'll keep them in the same place!"

Zhao Yi quickly raised his glass and said, "Xiao Xiao, on behalf of those children and the starving people, I thank you!"

"Uncle, there's no need for thanks among family! Just have someone go to the usual place tomorrow to move the things."

"well!"

As for anti-inflammatory drugs, although there are pharmacies in his space supermarket, the stock is really not much.

Speaking of food, not to mention what was obtained from the Japanese, this Walmart supermarket originally had more than two hundred tons of rice and flour stored in it.

As for cotton-padded clothes and quilts, he had already sent them all out in several batches. However, according to the reconnaissance of his subordinates, the Japanese had forcibly occupied more than 6000 mu of land from the north side of the railway in Fengtai Town to Dajing Village to build warehouses, which were called "West Warehouses" by the local people and were known as the largest warehouses in North China.

The warehouses here were mainly used for the storage and transportation of military supplies, and were an important transit and storage point for Japanese supplies in Beijing.

Meanwhile, at the Temple of Heaven, the Japanese army stored a large amount of looted grain in warehouses they had built there.

The grain stored in the Temple of Heaven warehouse was all used as military rations for the Japanese soldiers, which stood in stark contrast to the famine faced by the people of Beijing at that time.

According to the preliminary statistics of his men, since the beginning of winter this year, more than 500 people in the city have died every day from hunger and cold, while the grain in this warehouse is piled up like mountains and not supplied to the people.

Since that's the case, Li Xiao decided to use all the grain here to help the refugees fleeing famine. This is what is meant by "taking from the people and using it for the people!"

After hearing Li Xiao's words, Wang Min also showed a happy smile.

My nephew is really capable. In this time of extreme food shortage, I don't know where he got so much food.

That very night, Li Xiao went to both warehouses and emptied them of all their supplies.

He then left the city overnight, filled the basement of the local temple to the brim, and returned to his own courtyard at four in the morning.

After daybreak, Li Xiao finished breakfast and said to his family, "Mother, you shouldn't go out these next few days. The Japanese might be planning something again!"

Wang Xia was already used to this. Li Xiao had gone to clean up the Japanese warehouses several times, and this kind of full-scale search operation had been carried out several times before.

As expected, things happened.

The Japanese suffered heavy losses this time, especially the theft of the Tiantan warehouse, which contained several months' worth of rations for the Japanese troops stationed in North China!

Without this batch of grain, those Japanese soldiers might mutini.

You should know that once they realize they've run out of food, it's no laughing matter.

At this moment, Okamura Neiji's eyes were bloodshot. His office was now a mess, with various porcelain pieces and office supplies smashed all over the floor. Even his desk and bookshelves were slashed open by his military knife.

"Commander, our remaining rations are only enough for the soldiers in the city for seven days. If we can't get more food, I'm afraid our soldiers will mutini!"

Okamura Neiji stared at the lieutenant general in front of him with his bloodshot eyes.

"Yoshio Shinotsuka, send a telegram to headquarters immediately, ordering them to transfer a batch of grain from Southeast Asia and have the navy transport it to Tianjin Port!"

"Hai!"

"Furthermore, immediately organize the soldiers in the city to search every house!"

Seeing the fierce glint in Okamura Neiji's eyes, Yoshio Shinotsuka immediately understood the meaning behind the man's words.

Okamura Yasuji is trying to plunder the grain from the people of the entire city of Beijing to ensure the army's supply!

"Hai!"

Yoshio Shinotsuka immediately bowed and turned to give the order.

Just then, a man suddenly appeared in Okamura Yasuji's office.

"Who is it?"

Yoshio Shinotsuka immediately reached for the pistol at his waist.

In a flash, the Browning pistol he had holstered disappeared and reappeared in the man's hand.

"Who...who are you?"

The two old Japanese soldiers looked at the young-looking man in front of them, whose eyes were as cold as knives, and felt as if their hearts were being gripped by a large hand.

"Heh...you don't need to look for it anymore, I took that batch of grain and the logistical supplies from Fengtai!"

"you......"

An incredulous look flashed in the eyes of Okamura Neiji and Shinotsuka Yoshio.

It should be noted that the total amount of goods in these two warehouses exceeded 50,000 tons. What methods did he use to empty them?

Suddenly, Okamura Neiji seemed to have thought of something.

The man just appeared suddenly in my office; he didn't even come in through the front door.

This bizarre scene, beyond the comprehension of reality, caused fine beads of sweat to appear on the foreheads of the two old Japanese soldiers.

"You...you're a superpowered individual from the Dragon Kingdom?"

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, wondering what the old Japanese man had come up with, but he didn't deny it.

"The war between our Little Life Empire and your Dragon Kingdom is limited to ordinary people. You have violated regulations by sending superpowered individuals! I protest against this!!"

Okamura Neiji shouted at Li Xiao in a trembling voice.

"Sorry, your protest is invalid!"
