Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

"You old whore, do you really think everyone's afraid of your tantrums? I'm not buying it! If you dare mess with me again, you'll regret it!"

Chen Wenqi left with a fierce warning, ignoring Jia Zhangshi who was jumping up and down cursing behind him, and turned to run quickly towards the gate of the courtyard.

"You little bastard, you just wait! When Lao Yi gets home from get off work, I'll show you what I'm made of! You're dead meat, I'll definitely not let you get away with this!"

Madam Jia was so angry that she trembled all over, her chest heaving violently. She couldn't swallow this insult no matter what, and she secretly plotted to teach this arrogant little beast a lesson when Yi Zhonghai returned.

Ideally, she should force the Chen family to give up the house—no, she should give up two rooms! Otherwise, she will not let it go and will make a scene until the Chen family compromises.

As the root of all evil and the source of many conflicts in this courtyard, the shamelessness of the Jia family has simply lowered the bar for human decency, making them utterly despicable.

Chen Wenqi completely ignored Jia Zhangshi's useless rage and threats. After leaving the courtyard, he walked straight towards the alley to the west without pausing.

Not long after, he arrived at a supply and marketing cooperative in Yandaixie Street, where the goods were fairly complete.

He spent three cents to buy a fishhook and fishing line from the supply and marketing cooperative. He then carefully selected a wooden stick of suitable thickness and good feel by the roadside. He carefully and evenly wound the fishing line around the stick, tied the fishhook securely, and attached the pre-prepared sinker. In this way, a simple and practical fishing rod was completed.

Although this fishing rod looks somewhat simple and rough, and the materials used are quite ordinary, it should be more than enough to catch a few small fish and can fully meet basic fishing needs.

In his previous life, Chen Wenqi often sailed his private yacht with several female friends to go fishing at sea, accumulating rich fishing experience. Therefore, fishing was a piece of cake for him.

Before leaving home, he brought a small bag of cornmeal with him, planning to mix it with some spring water to make bait and see if this special combination would produce unexpected results and make the fish more likely to bite.

Passing through the bustling Yandai Xiejie, you'll find yourself at the renowned Shichahai Lake, a place of exceptional beauty.

Although its name contains the word "sea," it is actually just a large lake with a wide expanse of water and pleasant surrounding scenery.

Shichahai is divided into two parts: Qianhai and Houhai. Not far away is the former residence of Heshen, the famous Prince Gong's Mansion, which is now a well-known historical site.

The thought of Prince Gong's Mansion suddenly sparked a bold idea in Chen Wenqi's mind.

He remembered that he had learned by chance in his previous life that the treasure buried under the Prince Gong's Mansion was not discovered until 2008. It was said that there were several tons of gold inside, an astonishing amount, not to mention the priceless and exquisitely crafted jewelry and jade artifacts. These were the hidden treasures that Emperor Jiaqing failed to find when he confiscated the property.

Furthermore, there are rumors that the Prince Gong's Mansion also houses a considerable number of firearms, all inlaid with pure gold, with exquisite craftsmanship and considerable value.

Chen Wenqi felt that he should definitely visit Prince Gong's Mansion sometime in the future to see if these legendary treasures really exist.

As long as he can get close to Prince Gong's Mansion, with his abilities, his mental power can cover everything within a ten-meter radius. He can detect anything hidden and will never miss any clues.

Although the Prince Gong's Mansion has been taken over by the government and is not yet officially open to the public, with Chen Wenqi's current skills, it would not be difficult for him to sneak in and investigate without anyone noticing; it would be a piece of cake for him.

However, there's no rush. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. For now, it's better to focus on fishing.

Chen Wenqi soon arrived at the shore of Shichahai Lake. The fresh scent of the lake water was refreshing and invigorating.

He looked around and found that there weren't many tourists at Shichahai at this time. Perhaps it was because most people had to go to work. Most of the people who came here to fish were retired elderly people. Young people like him were indeed rare.

Chen Wenqi's gaze slowly swept across the various corners of the lakeside, when he suddenly caught sight of a thin, middle-aged man wearing glasses with a broken leg not far away—wasn't that none other than Uncle Yan Bugui, the famous "door god" of the courtyard? What a coincidence!

Speaking of Yan Bugui, he is a "weirdo" in the No. 95 courtyard. Although he has a little more basic moral compass than Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and the Jia family, it is still very limited. He often haggles over petty gains.

His motto in life is the well-known saying: "You won't get poor from eating or dressing, but you will get poor if you don't plan ahead." He regarded this saying as a guiding principle and kept it in mind at all times.

He was an incredibly stingy person, meticulous in everything he did, unwilling to suffer any loss, to the point of being extremely miserly.

According to the other people in the courtyard, even if a manure cart passed by his door, Teacher Yan would still reach out and dip his hand in it to taste the saltiness, to see if there was anything he could gain; if he didn't find any money when he went out, he would feel like he had lost out big time and would be listless all day.

It's currently summer vacation, and Yan Bugui, a school teacher, doesn't have to go to school, so he has some free time to go fishing in Shichahai and enjoy this rare leisure time.

Chen Wenqi deliberately found a quiet corner to sit down. Anyway, the coastline of Shichahai is very long, and there are plenty of suitable spots. There is no need to squeeze in with Yan Laokou and make a fool of himself and ruin his mood.

He took out the fishing rod he had made himself, then pulled out a small handful of cornmeal from his pocket. He then drew out a wisp of spiritual spring water from the Xuanwu Secret Realm within his body, thoroughly mixed the cornmeal and the spiritual spring water, and carefully kneaded it into a smooth dough to use as bait for fishing.

Next, he pinched a small ball of bait, carefully hooked it onto the hook, making sure the bait was firmly attached to the hook tip, and then gently tossed the baited hook into the water with a smooth and skillful motion.

With a soft splash, the fishing hook and line fell into the water, creating a small ripple that quickly subsided.

As soon as the bait entered the water, what happened next surprised Chen Wenqi greatly and completely exceeded his expectations.

As the fishing hook fell into the water, the surrounding fish seemed to be attracted by some mysterious force, rushing towards the location of the hook, creating a spectacular scene.
