Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): Don't touch my parents!

"Yes, I'm definitely willing!"

"Mom, you should go quickly, Brother Zhu has already agreed!"

Xu Damao was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

I wish I could push my mother out the door right away.

Zhao Cuifeng reached out and gently poked her son's forehead.

She scolded playfully, "We've only been back together for two days, and you're already in a hurry to kick your mother out?"

"Then... I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law!"

She turned around and politely thanked Chen Shuxiang.

"It's no trouble at all, they're all grown up now."

Playing with friends is much less stressful; you don't have to keep a constant eye on them.

Chen Shuxiang waved her hand, her tone very amiable.

"Zhu Zi, you and Da Mao have a good time."

You can't bully them anymore.

Zhao Cuifeng was still somewhat worried.

He then solemnly gave He Yuzhu another piece of advice.

"Okay, Auntie, don't worry!"

He Yuzhu patted his chest loudly.

Seeing that He Yuzhu agreed seriously, Zhao Cuifeng

His expression gradually relaxed.

Then he turned to his son and gave him a thousand and one instructions:

"Da Mao, stay with your brother Zhu Zi and don't run around."

"Don't step out of the courtyard gate, do you hear me?"

"Okay, Mom!"

Xu Damao was already getting impatient.

At this moment, all he wanted was for his mother to leave quickly.

I want to have a good time playing with Brother Zhu.

The oil lamp in the room was dim and yellow, with the flame flickering gently.

He held the gun steadily with both hands.

His eyes were sharp as lightning as he quickly scanned the room.

Only after confirming that no one else was there did he slowly put the gun down.

He naturally wouldn't be polite about valuable items.

Aside from those large items that are simply too heavy to move.

He looted almost everything else he could take with him.

That meticulous and earnest spirit,

Even a mouse would be dumbfounded if it crawled in.

Then he rolled over.

He nimbly scaled the wall and entered the yard of the house next door that might be occupied.

As usual, we first need to find out what's inside.

Then do it in the same way.

I went through the "cleaning" process again from beginning to end.

Just then, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Old Zhao, where did you get this car?

Don't ask any more questions, just quickly load your things into the car and get ready to leave.

A male voice lowered its tone and urged urgently.

Those things that were taken from the dead...

What kind of time is this to be greedy for such petty gains? Let's go!

These are things we are entitled to!

Oh.

The woman responded softly.

Immediately afterwards, the dull thud of heavy objects being dragged onto a vehicle could be heard outside the courtyard.

Then came the crunching sound of wheels rolling over the snow.

The sound faded into the night as it approached.

He Yuzhu pressed himself against the door, quietly watching the commotion outside.

He nodded to himself, thinking that the old man still had some sense of propriety.

They didn't steal the things he had hidden along with them.

Wait until the rickshaw has driven more than ten meters away.

He then slipped out from behind the door.

He quickly gathered up all the corpses and guns on the road.

After tidying up, he summoned his bicycle.

With a gentle push of the pedals, I followed the rickshaw at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

They were quite lucky along the way.

They didn't encounter a single pedestrian.

In this day and age, as soon as a gunshot rings out...

Ordinary people will only block their doors and windows even more tightly.

No one would be foolish enough to look outside.

The rickshaw headed east.

We wandered through streets and alleys, turning and twisting.

Finally, it stopped in front of a street-facing shop at an intersection.

The woman got out of the car first and went to knock on the door.

Before long, someone came out from inside the door to receive the items and people.

Throughout the entire process, someone remained at the door to keep watch and be on guard.

People and goods were all brought into the yard.

A man who looked like a shop assistant pulled a rickshaw straight to Gulou East Street.

They just casually tossed the car aside on the side of the road.

He turned around and ran back as fast as he could.

He Yuzhu ignored the man.

He walked straight up and put the rickshaw into his personal storage space.

This car might come in handy later.

There was no need to ride it to follow it just now.

After putting the rickshaw away.

He could see several people busy cleaning up the street from afar.

Shovel away the tire tracks and footprints left in the snow.

He Yuzhu pondered to himself.

It seems the other party is very experienced in doing things.

The finishing touches were clean and neat, leaving no trace.

After doing all this.

He Yuzhu got on his bicycle.

Leaning slightly forward, I pedaled hard and headed home.

To be on the safe side.

He deliberately avoided the route he had taken to get here.

Instead, we took a detour through another secluded alley.

As for what those people will think when they look back and see the extra bicycle tracks in the snow.

That's none of his business.

Back to the familiar courtyard house.

He skillfully brought over a ladder and scaled the wall to enter.

Crouching low, he tiptoed back to his side room.

He casually took off his coat and draped it over the still-warm stove to dry.

He Yuzhu crawled into the still-warm quilt.

I couldn't wait to bring up the system panel.

[Escort mission complete. Rewards: One Good Citizen Certificate, One Health Certificate, and One City Exit Permit.]

Seeing this so-called reward.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but swear.

He had some doubts.

What kind of reward is this?

Not only did they not get any profit, but they also failed to make a single penny.

Instead, it made him feel like it was an omen of something bad.

I always felt that there was more trouble waiting for me.

This is a pitifully meager reward.

This immediately put him out of the mood to count his spoils.

He simply pulled the blanket over his head and covered it tightly.

I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I woke up the next morning.

As usual, He Yuzhu first completed the system check-in.

Upon seeing the result, his face was still full of disdain.

[Check-in successful: One tiger-head hat, one rattle drum, one cradle, and five bibs.]

He Yuzhu felt a surge of grief and indignation welling up in his heart.

I almost wanted to look up to the sky and sigh.

System, please!

I really just want to be a troublemaker.

I don't want to take care of the kids!

I'm only 120 months old, I'm still a baby!

You could give me a roast chicken or half a roast duck.

Even some braised offal would be nice to satisfy my craving.

If all else fails, at least give me a couple of plates of snacks.

He did wake up hungry once last night.

The amount of exercise during the day was really too much.

My body can't take it anymore.

He was woken up by his father, He Daqing.

I quickly washed up and ate a few bites of breakfast haphazardly.

Dad then rushed off to work again.

The other neighbors in the yard.

He seemed to leave home even earlier than his father.

Anyway, these past two mornings.

He didn't see many people in the yard.

Mom, I heard from Dad that the streets aren't as chaotic as they used to be.

Should we send Dr. Lin his consultation fee by now?

After the meal, He Yuzhu tentatively asked.

He didn't have high hopes.

To my surprise, Chen Shuxiang agreed very readily.

Zhu'er, here, these are ten silver dollars.

You should send it to the doctor today.

This has been dragging on for so long, it can't go on forever.

However, if you encounter a black dog on the road, they will check it strictly.

You'd better turn around and come back right now, you hear me?

Chen Shuxiang pulled a small cloth bag from under her pillow.

It seems they had prepared this long ago.
