I Have a Lake as I Walk Through the Courtyard

With such a large lake, the output within the space is terrifying. By the end of the year, Lin Feng was caught in a dilemma: if he fished them out, there wouldn't be enough space in the warehouse; if he didn't fish out the fish in the lake, they would just eat grains without gaining any weight.

Pigs also need to be slaughtered, and a lot of chickens, ducks and geese need to be killed as well. Otherwise, the meat will become too tough, and continuing to raise them would be a pure waste of food. Lin Feng was now completely caught in endless troubles!

On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1962, the market in Beijing, which had just experienced natural disasters, was still sluggish. Chickens and ducks were 2 yuan per catty on the black market, and the supply still could not meet the demand!

Lin Feng dared not sell too many. He was on tenterhooks even selling twenty or thirty a day. When he left the black market, he still felt like many eyes were watching him! Fortunately, the first batch of stockpiled stock was not much, at least that's what he thought.

After processing the first batch of over 50 animals, Lin Feng was immediately spotted as soon as he left the black market. "Young man, we're from the black market. Our boss wants to meet you to discuss some business!"

Lin Feng remembered Uncle Chen's words: he could earn less money, but he absolutely couldn't reveal his identity. "Sorry, I've sold out. Goodbye for now!"

Lin Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute and turned to leave. The young men exchanged glances. It wasn't a good idea to make a move in the black market, otherwise it would be no different from wrecking their own territory. They quickly followed him.

"Damn it, I knew it!" With a thought, Lin Feng pulled out a pistol and tightened the scarf around his face. Looking at the darkness ahead, he quickened his pace.

"How can there be such a bright light at night in this era?" Lin Feng cursed under his breath, his mental energy almost fully activated. He stared at the alley ahead, pondering how he could hide in his spatial dimension as soon as he turned the corner.

Just as he reached the alley entrance, Lin Feng's expression changed, and he quickly stepped aside. A figure rushed towards him, and the two looked at each other before dodging away. Instantly, Lin Feng's face turned extremely ugly. This person was followed by a group of followers.

Lin Feng quickly changed direction, and soon the person who had just rushed over was also forced back by the group chasing Lin Feng.

The two seemed to understand each other's predicament. Neither of them spoke, and they ran for their lives with their heads down. The people behind them didn't care and all took off running to chase after them.

Lin Feng was fast, but he was cursing under his breath. With this guy around, he couldn't even hide in his spatial dimension. Although the night light was good, accidents happened quickly in their panic. The young man who was running away with Lin Feng suddenly fell flat on his face and screamed in pain.

Lin Feng had no intention of meddling in other people's business, but when he heard the voice coming from a woman, he felt bad about leaving a girl there in this environment.

Are you alright?

The girl was clutching her foot, and even though she was wearing a scarf, Lin Feng could tell she was in pain! Seeing that the people behind them were getting closer and closer, Lin Feng had a sudden impulse, picked up the girl, and ran away.

"To the left, to the left..."

Even with his mental powers activated, Lin Feng instinctively ran to the left under such tense circumstances. Just as he passed through an alley, Lin Feng's eyes lit up – he had reached the main road.

No one knows what the girl took, but two groups of people were chasing after her relentlessly. On the main road, with no obstructions, the two groups were simply testing their endurance!

"Stop right there! What are you doing here? Stop right now or we'll shoot!"

Hearing the voice, the girl behind him breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally saved!" After saying that, the girl struggled to climb down from behind Lin Feng. Lin Feng watched as a group of people in red armbands with rifles got closer and closer to him, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to move.

Hearing the commotion, the two groups of pursuers turned tail and ran. These red-armbanded men were really fierce; one group grabbed a gun and gave chase.

"Hands up! What are you doing? Why are you running around on the street in the middle of the night?"

Lin Feng held his hand high, cursing inwardly, his eyes darting around. "I'm just going to the black market to get some meat, it's almost Chinese New Year..."

The young soldier clearly didn't believe Lin Feng's words. "That's it? If it were that simple, would those guys have bothered chasing you like crazy? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

After the soldier finished speaking, he searched the two men thoroughly. Seeing Lin Feng's work ID, his guard lowered slightly. "Are you telling the truth?"

"I'm not lying! I really do want to buy some meat and look for some New Year's goods..."

After checking Lin Feng's work permit, the soldier returned it to him; they'd seen this many times before. "And what about your accomplice next to you?"

Lin Feng glanced dejectedly at the girl beside him. "Be a good person... good deeds don't necessarily bring good fortune, but karma will definitely come!"

"I don't know her!" Lin Feng said, recounting the events. "I don't know who was chasing her, but the group that chased me were all ruthless and aggressive. I felt terrible leaving a young woman like that!"

"I see!" The soldier's attitude improved considerably, and he slung his gun back over his shoulder. "Your identities still need to be verified by the neighborhood committee! Come with us."

"I twisted my ankle and can't walk..."

A female member of the joint defense team examined her. "She really did twist it. You should carry her on your back!"

"This isn't appropriate..." The scarf had already been taken off, and Lin Feng looked at the girl's face, his face immediately turning red.

"You've been carrying it on your back for so long, what are you being so dramatic about? Hurry up, let's go to the hospital..."

The little girl blushed slightly and limped over to Lin Feng's side. Her meaning was all too clear. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Feng had no choice but to squat down and carry the girl on his back.

"Thank you for today!" The little girl was a little disappointed; the gift she had painstakingly bought for her grandfather had been taken back by the neighborhood watch team.

"You're welcome! It's incredibly brave of you, a young woman, to go to the black market all by yourself..."

"You two, be quiet! What time is it? Stop chatting! Mind your manners!"

Raymond Lam...

Inside the hospital, Lin Feng put the little girl down. She smiled at him, her beautiful face almost dazzling him. "My name is Sun Ling, like the bell!"

Lin Feng reached out to shake hands, and just as he was about to introduce himself, a woman wearing a red armband grabbed him. "He's from the supply and marketing cooperative! From Nantongluoguxiang! Alright, do you know your situation? You still have the mind to do this! Hurry up and go, after I take you to the neighborhood office, I'll have to go home and catch up on my sleep!"

Locked in the small room of the neighborhood office, Lin Feng yawned, took out his watch from his spatial storage and checked the time. It was only 3 a.m. These days, Lin Feng was severely sleep-deprived. Leaning against the bed board thinking about the girl, he drifted off to sleep.

When he was woken up, it was already daylight. Two street office staff members led him to the office. Lin Feng looked up and saw... "It's so good to see Director Wang..."

Director Wang...
