Siheyuan: Starting from 1952

Of course, this is not the only way to stay in Beijing.

Now that he has the system, he can easily acquire any skills he needs.

If I meet some important people at that time, I will show myself in front of them. I believe I should be able to obtain the qualification to stay in the Forbidden City.

After all, the country has just been established and is in urgent need of all kinds of talents.

But there is a problem with this.

That is, it is only 1952, and the country is still under martial law.

Traitors, counter-revolutionaries and enemy spies were being arrested all over the country.

It is inevitable that people would be suspicious of the fact that a refugee like me could use such skills.

When I find out my place of origin, I may not be able to explain it clearly.

Therefore, it is safest to spend money to solve the problem.

that's it.

Lu Juemin and Chen Xingyao stayed in the mountains for five full days.

these five days.

Lu Juemin almost never touched the ground, working tirelessly to catch more game.

He is lucky.

He caught twelve pheasants, five wild rabbits, four bamboo rats, and a wild badger.

Such a harvest would probably make even the most experienced hunter envious!

Except for what the two of them ate for the past three days.

There were still ten pheasants and three hares left, while the bamboo rat and the badger were not moved.

There were too many things, and Lu Juemin and Chen Xingyao alone could not carry them all.

Just as Lu Juemin was thinking about how to get these things into the city, the electronic music in his mind sounded again:

[Remind the host that this system contains an independent storage space. ]

Is there storage space?

Why the hell didn't you say it earlier?

Lu Juemin quickly sent a voice message to the system: "System, do you have any other functions? Tell me all of them at once, don't try to hide your incompetence!"

[In addition to the incredible learning ability and independent storage space, other functions of this system are under development...]

Under development? That means it's gone.

That’s okay.

The incredible learning ability plus the storage space is already incredible enough.

But Lu Juemin encountered a new problem.

That is, you can't put the remaining game into the space in front of Chen Xingyao, right? If you do that, won't your secret be exposed?

After thinking for a while, he decided to stay in the forest for another day. When Chen Xingyao fell asleep at night, he would secretly put the game into the space.

When Chen Xingyao woke up, she found that the game was gone, so she was lied to and said that it was taken away by a wild beast.

That should do the trick.

the next day.

Chen Xingyao obviously didn't believe Lu Juemin's lame excuse.

But the meat was definitely gone.

She could only accept this "reality".

after that.

The brother and sister left the woods and walked onto the road.

After reaching the main road, they met some people who were fleeing famine like them.

Originally, Lu Juemin didn't know the specific direction to Sijiu City.

Now, we just need to follow the main force and we should be able to reach Sijiu City.

We walked like this for about half a day.

Some tents made of tarpaulin appeared in Lu Juemin's sight.

Around these tents, a group of soldiers armed with live ammunition were standing guard or walking around.

Lu Juemin knew that they had probably reached a relief station organized by the government.

Look at these soldiers.

Lu Juemin acted very calmly with the mentality of "if you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."

Chen Xingyao was different, she seemed particularly flustered.

Come to think of it, she has always lived in the village, so how could she have seen such a scene?

Lu Juemin raised his hand and patted Chen Xingyao on the shoulder, comforting her: "Xingyao, you don't have to be afraid. We are well-behaved common people. They won't do anything to us!"

"Yeah, I understand, Brother Juemin!"

After Lu Juemin's comfort, Chen Xingyao felt a lot more at ease.

At this time, a loud voice sounded, "Line up one by one and come over to register your identity information!"

Lu Juemin looked in the direction of the voice and found that a particularly strong soldier with a big head was standing on a high platform shouting at the group of refugees.

The refugees then walked up to the soldier and lined up.

Lu Juemin and Chen Xingyao also walked over and stood at the end of the line.

About half an hour.

It was the turn of the two siblings.

The soldier who just shouted looked at Lu Juemin and said in surprise: "You are quite handsome, young man!"

"Comrade, you're too kind." Lu Juemin smiled.

When it was Chen Xingyao's turn, the soldier praised again: "You are so pretty, little girl!"

When praised by this big-headed soldier, Chen Xingyao's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hid behind Lu Juemin very embarrassedly.

Seeing Chen Xingyao so shy, the soldier looked at Lu Juemin and asked, "Young man, what is your relationship with this girl?"

Lu Juemin answered truthfully: "Neighbor, a neighbor who grew up together."

"Ah."

After hearing this, Lu Juemin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

according to rules.

Those who complete the identity registration can receive relief food and temporary housing.

As for the future.

Most of them will be deported back to their place of origin.

Some people with skills will be selected to stay in the city and participate in the construction of the country.

Lu Juemin and Chen Xingyao received relief food: a bowl of fried noodles.

Fried noodles are not the kind of fried noodles that people eat in later generations, which are delicious and tasty. Instead, they are a kind of noodles fried together with soybean powder, flour, salt and other ingredients.

Extremely dry, stuck in the throat and difficult to swallow.

Even Chen Xingyao could hardly eat, let alone Lu Juemin.

He was originally planning to throw away this portion of fried noodles.

But he suddenly remembered that the textbook he had studied described that the military rations of the soldiers fighting in the Korean War were fried noodles.

It is now 1952, and the war is in full swing.

If people could eat on the battlefield of the Korean War, why can’t we eat?

then.

He suppressed his discomfort and swallowed the fried noodles.

But I have to say it.

Although the fried noodles didn't taste good, eating it helped Lu Juemin regain some strength.

It can even restore more energy than eating wild game.

Lu Juemin knew that this was probably the effect of salt.

Salt is really a good thing.

When eating wild game a few days ago, Lu Juemin wanted to use a famous quote to describe his mood at the time: "It's so fucking boring..."

After eating the relief food, Lu Juemin and others were arranged to rest in a temporary residence.

Although they are called residences, they are actually a series of terraced tents made of tarpaulin.

Of course, there was no need to think about a comfortable bed, there were just some straw mats.

Because men and women live separately.

So this means that Lu Juemin and Chen Xingyao need to rest separately.

But it is obvious that Chen Xingyao doesn't want to be separated from Lu Juemin.

She held Lu Juemin's hand tightly and said, "Brother Juemin, can't we sleep together?"
