Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Xu Damao rode his bike all the way to the front gate. On the way, he was not stingy when he saw signs of the Song Committee or places where the Little Red Soldiers gathered. He would use his scanning skills to see if there were any good things.

There were quite a few things to be found. Many antiques and paintings were just randomly piled up in the utility room, but there were no jewelry, jade, or yellow croakers. I guess anyone who wasn't a fool would know that these things were valuable, and they would have hidden or divided them up in advance.

Many courtyards still had traces of burning, and the breeze occasionally raised some black ash, revealing porcelain pieces on the ground. Seeing this scene, Xu Damao felt like a spendthrift. Do you know how much these things you burned will be worth in the future? This is simply a crime, a waste of natural resources, and a great disrespect for art! No, in the face of this kind of behavior, let me keep it for you!

Xu Damao had made preparations in advance a few days ago, exchanging a lot of pills and methods to strengthen his mental power. Now his mental power has increased several times compared to before, and even the scanning distance and range have increased a lot. At this time, he didn't even need to get off the bicycle, he just locked the things with his mind and put them into the space.

What if someone finds something missing? What does that have to do with me, Xu Damao? He was not the one who was punished, and no one saw that he did it. Xu Damao's main point is to make a fortune quietly. To use a poem to describe it, it is to leave after the work is done, hiding his merits and fame!

Soon Xu Damao arrived at the front gate, where the situation was even more chaotic. Almost all shops were closed, and many were damaged and looted to varying degrees. The streets were full of Red Guards waving their arms and shouting slogans, walking in fairly neat formations, probably preparing to be inspected by the leader.

As soon as Xu Damao used his skills, he quickly found their base, and then he took all the things without hesitation. This place is indeed Qianmen, very close to Tiananmen Square, and the harvest here is also the greatest. The things are not in boxes, but directly filled up the warehouses converted from houses.

Xu Damao rode his bike on the street for a while. The tavern and silk shop were closed. They must have been affected and had not yet resumed business. Xu Damao also went to the back house to visit Chen Xueru and Cai Quanwu's family. After all, one was his second uncle and the other could be considered his future helper.

Fortunately, the two families only suffered some material losses, and the people were just frightened, nothing serious. After staying for a while, Xu Damao said goodbye, he still had to go to Xu Long to arrange some things.

The current Sijiu City is not big, but not small either. It would take him a long time to run around and collect antiques. Perhaps by the time he arrives, a large number of antiques have been destroyed. This is when the importance of intelligence and manpower becomes apparent.

Xu Damao planned to let Xu Long and Lou San arrange people to keep an eye on the strongholds and leaders of these Red Guards and rebels, and send someone to notify him as soon as they found a large number of antiques stored there.

The black market will also seize this opportunity to buy a large number of antiques. I believe that many people are eager to get rid of these things. After all, these things cannot be eaten or spent, and keeping them is still a hassle. Even if they are hidden, they may not be absolutely safe. It is better to sell them on the black market for money, which can also reduce trouble. Why not?

Xu Damao quickly came to the yard where Xu Long was, explained the matter to him, and then walked around the yard that was used as a warehouse and left a lot of supplies. After Xu Damao finished all this, he saw that it was getting late, so he rode his bike home.

When Xu Damao entered the yard, he saw Second Aunt Yang Ruihua sitting beside a large wooden basin processing fish. It seemed that Yan Bugui had indeed gone fishing in the afternoon, and judging from the number of fish, the harvest should be quite large.

"Da Mao, you just came back. Your uncle was lucky and caught a lot of fish this afternoon. You can take two back to eat." Yang Ruihua said.

"Hey, this fish looks really good. I'll take advantage of Second Uncle and eat fish today."

"Wait a minute, I'll go back to the house and get a rope to tie the fish for you so it will be convenient for you to carry it back." Yang Ruihua got up and went back to the house. Soon he took out a thin rope about half a meter long, strung the fish on it and handed it over.

"Then I won't be polite. Please thank the Second Master for me. I'll go back first."

"Go quickly, the rain seems to be in his brother's room, and the Jia family's Banggeng also came back this afternoon."

"Well, I'll go back and ask about the situation."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he pushed the cart into the central courtyard and looked through the window into Sha Zhu's house. Sure enough, Yu Shui was sitting at the table watching Liang Ladi making clothes.

"Rainwater, I'm back, what are you doing?"

"Brother Damao, why are you here so late? Where did this fish come from?"

"Hehe, these are given to me by my second uncle's family. He caught a lot of fish in the afternoon and gave me two. It's just right that I'll let my brother cook them for you in the evening." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"I'm learning how to make clothes from my sister-in-law, and I also want to prepare some small clothes for my children in advance." As she said this, a layer of maternal glow flashed across Yu Shui's face.

"Well, it's good to learn when you have nothing to do. Sister-in-law, please find a basin so I can put the fish down first."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Liang Ladi got up and went to the kitchen to find an iron basin and scooped up a lot of water.

After Xu Damao put the fish in, he sat over and asked, "I heard that the kid from the Jia family came back this afternoon? How's the situation?"

"Hey, this kid is completely useless now. He was like that to begin with, and now one of his legs is lame, and his left hand has been amputated at the wrist." Liang Ladi said.

"I heard from Qin Huairu that Bang Geng's hospitalization cost more than 200 yuan. Bang Geng was bitten by a dog this time, and the vaccination alone cost 60 yuan!"

Yu Shui also said, "After Bang Geng came back, he told the truth under the pressure of Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang had already gone to look for the parents of those children, but was beaten back. He didn't get any advantage at all."

"If you ask me, Bang Geng asked for it. He had to use firecrackers to blow up stray dogs. Even a rabbit will bite when it is angry, let alone a dog," said Liang Ladi.

"Well, this guy deserved it. He lit a firecracker in his hand but forgot to throw it away, and ended up breaking his hand. If it was just one firecracker, it probably wouldn't have been that powerful."

"Mrs. Jia Zhang is used to being unreasonable. Why would anyone give in to her? It was her grandson who wanted to do that. Other people's children have left, and you still want to blame the Ministry of Human Resources?"

Xu Damao finally understood the whole story from the conversation between Yu Shui and Liang Ladi. This matter really cannot be blamed on others, it is one's own fault!
