I Have a Lake as I Walk Through the Courtyard

After they finished dealing with their business, when they came out of the neighborhood office, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu walked ahead and talked about something. At first, Sha Zhu looked angry, but he gradually calmed down.

The two girls walked behind and, seeing all this, Yu Haitang sighed and hugged Yu Shui's arm tenderly. "I finally understand why you always said you had unspeakable suffering; it was too frustrating!"

Rain sighed. "Now you know why Lin Feng didn't just tell him directly, right? It'd be pointless! No one can persuade my brother, and trying to talk to him too much will only make him resentful!"

"Hey, let's go find Lin Feng! He's a classmate after all, he should at least treat us to a meal! I don't want to eat at your house anymore, it's too stifling..."

As soon as the two reached the courtyard gate, Xu Damao came running up to them excitedly. "My two little sisters, how did things go?"

"Who's your sister? I've been so angry all afternoon!"

Xu Damao glanced at Yu Haitang. "It's almost lunchtime again. I can't let you call me 'brother' for nothing. How about I treat you to Peking duck from Quanjude?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Haitang unconsciously tightened her grip on Yu Shui's hand, causing Yu Shui to cry out in pain. "What are you doing? You big glutton, you don't want to go, do you?"

"Why are you being so polite with your brother? Look how skinny you are, like a stick! Brother, let me treat you two to a good meal today!"

Before the rain could even respond, Haitang's body reacted. "Alright, we're both hungry too."

rainwater......

Sha Zhu returned to the central courtyard, pondering what to prepare for the two girls that afternoon, when he turned around and exclaimed, "Where's my sister? My big sister is gone!"

Lin Feng sat by the lake, gazing at the beautiful scenery, but he had no mood for anything. He took out a few steamed buns from his spatial storage to eat a little something, and patiently waited until late at night.

The afternoon's chat was worthwhile; Lin Feng quickly pinpointed the location. Everyone who lived there knew that there was a secret room that had been dug out long ago, with the entrance carelessly sealed off.

Lin Feng arrived nearby and entered the space. Inside the space, Lin Feng amplified his mental power infinitely, covering the entire surrounding area. Lin Feng quickly discovered the location of the secret room.

He quietly approached the cave entrance, touched the stone above it, and the stone vanished instantly, revealing the dark cave entrance. Lin Feng sat cautiously to the side, waiting for a long time before daring to sneak in alone.

After entering, he resealed the stone, took out a flashlight from his spatial storage, and slowly entered the secret room. Walking to a corner of the secret room, Lin Feng once again used his hand to put the stone there back into his spatial storage, and only then did the secret room reveal a hidden partition wall.

Lin Feng squeezed into the crack in the wall and tested it. The air circulation was okay, so he felt relieved and continued forward. Fortunately, there were no traps or mechanisms, and Lin Feng successfully reached the second level of the secret room.

To his disappointment, the floor of the secret room was littered with fragments. It was clear that some of the antiques and curios piled up here had long been damaged, and there were hardly any intact pieces to be found. Apart from a few jade pendants and more than a dozen silver ingots, he found almost nothing.

Unwilling to give up, Lin Feng entered the space again and quickly discovered the anomaly. He came out of the space and walked to a wall in the secret room. He placed his hand on the wall and silently recited "collect" as the bricks of the wall entered the space. Only then did Lin Feng discover the clue.

These bricks were actually filled with gold, more than 60 in total. After entering the space, the spatial power was used to remove the dirt from the surface of the bricks, and the golden light finally appeared.

One gold brick weighs more than a pound, and more than 60 gold bricks weigh about 700 to 800 pounds. Add to that some loose silver ingots, and Lin Feng's face was practically beaming with joy inside the space!

The four or five jade pendants scattered on the ground were not ordinary items. Although they had been around for a long time, they were still shiny and new after being wiped clean of dust. The fact that they were collected here already demonstrated their value.

Lin Feng, who had become rich overnight, carefully cleaned up the traces, left the secret room, and took advantage of the fact that he couldn't release his bicycle. In a relaxed mood, he quietly returned to the courtyard house under the moonlight.

As soon as he returned to the house, Lin Feng closed the door tightly, entered the space, and put all the gold bricks and silver ingots into the warehouse. Then he used the bricks he collected in the secret room to renovate the chicken coop! He was so excited that he worked all night and only fell asleep slowly at dawn.

Today is the second day of New Year's Day. Just before lunchtime, Lin Feng, who was sleeping soundly, heard a knock on the door. He woke up groggily from his bed and opened the door with his hair all messy.

"Rain, what brings you here? Begonia, you're here too!"

The two girls smiled at Lin Feng's appearance. "It's lunchtime already, why are you sleeping until now?"

"Isn't it a holiday? Please have a seat, I'll go wash my face and brush my teeth."

After Lin Feng left, the two girls went inside. Yu Haitang looked at Lin Feng's house, her eyes shining. "Wow, this house is really nice! I didn't expect this guy to be doing so well now!"

What do you think of him?

Yu Haitang blushed. "You silly girl, I'm still in school!"

Lin Feng finished tidying himself up, looked at his two old classmates, and was in a good mood. "It's rare for you two to come over. I didn't prepare anything at home today, so how about we go out to eat?"

"What do you want to eat?" Yu Haitang wasn't going to stand on ceremony.

Lin Feng thought for a moment; he hadn't had a decent meal since he transmigrated. "How about we eat at Quanjude?"

"Roast duck again?"

This time, Lin Feng was dumbfounded! Seeing this, Yu Shui smiled. "Xu Damao just treated us to dinner yesterday!"

"Oh, I see. Let's try something different then, let's go to Donglaishun for hot pot!"

"That's fine... but it's not cheap there, it'll cost you money!"

Lin Feng, who had just unearthed a pile of gold bricks yesterday, patted his chest confidently. "It's fine, eat as much as you want! It's just one meal, it won't bankrupt us!"

Both girls looked at Lin Feng in surprise; in their memory, he was always stingy. They exchanged glances. "Then let's go to Donglaishun!"

The three of them walked out of the house. Yu Li saw her younger sister and asked, "It's almost time to eat. Where are you going again?"

"Sis, Raymond Lam is treating us to Dong Lai Shun, so I won't be eating at home!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Li swallowed hard, watched the three figures disappear into the distance, and sighed speechlessly.

At Sha Zhu's house, Qin Huairu, heavily pregnant, chatted and laughed with him. Today was New Year's Day, and Sha Zhu was lucky enough to buy a fat duck at the market early in the morning. He stewed it all morning, and now the aroma was filling the air.

As Qin Huairu chatted, her mind was already captivated by the aroma. When Sha Zhu lifted the lid, Qin Huairu leaned closer. "Wow, it smells so good!"

"That's right, look who cooked it! Sister Qin, bring the bowl over here."

Sha Zhu took the large bowl from Qin Huairu's hand, added two duck legs, scooped them out, then scooped out half a duck, filling almost half the pot with soup. "Take this to that kid to satisfy his craving!"

Qin Huairu quickly took the bowl. "What about your sister's?"

"Don't worry, half a duck is enough!"
