Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

At night, when Chen Xueru fell asleep.

He Daqing got up, put on a worn-out piece of clothing, and jumped out from the kitchen wall.

He was going to go to the black market tonight and get some food for his family.

Sneaking all the way to the black market.

It’s still the same place, but this time there are a lot more people than last time.

It should be because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone wants to come here to buy some supplies for the New Year.

Entering the alley of the black market, it was really crowded tonight. All of them were covering their faces and looking around.

He Daqing also followed the crowd inside.

The people setting up stalls tonight are all from the countryside selling handicrafts and various tools.

Some of the better ones secretly sold cloth, towels and other daily necessities.

As for food and other things, He Daqing had almost gone halfway through the journey and had not encountered any family.

Just when He Daqing thought that his trip tonight would be in vain.

Suddenly, I heard someone in front whisper to his companions: "Uncle, hurry up! I heard my brother say that there are people selling food in front! Hurry up!"

Although they lowered their voices, He Daqing had good hearing.

So he followed the two men and squeezed forward.

I followed them until they were almost at the end of the alley.

He Daqing finally saw the place where they talked about selling grain.

This is a small door in the wall, only big enough for one person to enter.

There were two people guarding the door.

When the buyer came here, he would give the money to these two people, and someone inside would hand out the weighed grains and pour them into the buyer's pocket.

The transaction was very fast, no bargaining allowed, and no scales allowed. If you were willing, buy it, if you were not willing, get out. There were still many people waiting in line behind me.

Even so, they sell it secretly, and dare not set up a stall in the black market. Otherwise, they would have been snatched away long ago.

He Daqing squeezed over to take a look. This was flour made from cornmeal and several kinds of grains mixed together.

This looks even worse than the multi-grain noodles from their steel mill.

Even so, the buyers were all very happy. Some people wanted to buy more but were not allowed to.

He Daqing shook his head in disappointment.

He would not buy this kind of multi-grain noodles. Let's take a look.

I went around the black market again, but there was nothing to eat.

I finally came across an old man holding two chickens, and a crowd of people gathered around him to buy them.

He Daqing said that there were pheasants and rabbits in the space, as well as a lot of wild boars and wild deer.

So he took a look and left.

Shaking his head in disappointment, He Daqing planned to go back.

As soon as he left the night market, he quickly sensed something was wrong.

I used my spiritual sense to look back and realized that I hadn't noticed that there were two people following me.

Since someone is ignorant, He Daqing will not be polite.

He turned a corner and hid behind it.

When these two men followed them stealthily.

He Daqing knocked one person unconscious with just one chop of his hand.

Another person was also kicked to the ground by him.

He took out his own dog-leg knife from the space and placed it on the neck of the man lying on the ground.

He Daqing asked sternly: "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

When the man saw that his companion had fallen to the ground and was not sure whether he was dead or alive, he was terrified.

"Brother, spare us! We are just passing by here and we are not following you. You misunderstood!"

He was still lying until now. He Daqing pushed the knife towards the man's neck again.

Suddenly, the skin on the man's neck was cut by the blade.

"How dare you lie! If you don't tell me, I'll send you to hell with one blow!"

The man was frightened by He Daqing's cold tone, and felt the stinging pain of the blade cutting through his skin on his neck.

He hurriedly said, "Brother, don't do it! I'll tell you! I'll tell you now!"

"Brother, we follow Master Jin. Master Jin is also one of the managers of this black market. Business is not good now, so Master Jin sent us to follow those who come to the black market alone to earn some pocket money."

"How many of you are there? Where is Mr. Jin Er?"

"Brother, there are only five or six of us. The others are all at other exits. Mr. Jin is just a small boss of this black market. He is in a small courtyard next to the black market."

Speaking of that small courtyard, He Daqing remembered the place where he went to exchange wild boar for food last time.

So he asked carefully about the place.

This little henchman must have been terrified, and he explained everything about He Daqing's problem in detail, telling him everything he knew.

"Brother, this is all I know. Can you please let me go? We are only doing this to have something to eat. Otherwise, who would want to live on the edge of a knife?"

He Daqing thought about it and then used a mental piercing to knock him unconscious.

Then he went to the man he had knocked unconscious and gave him another mental piercing.

Now these two people will be in a coma for at least a day and a night before they wake up.

I tied them up with their belts, found a piece of paper from the space, wrote "robber" on it, and hung it on their chests.

In this case, someone will probably report it to the police tomorrow to handle it.

After finishing the work here, He Daqing adjusted his disguise and quietly went to the place the man just mentioned.

When he came to the entrance of the alley, he chose to pass through the ruins.

After passing through the ruins, we arrived outside the courtyard wall.

This place is just within He Daqing's observation range of 20 meters.

He Daqing looked carefully at the entire courtyard.

The small courtyard is not big, and the main house has only three rooms. It is divided into three small rooms. The one on the left seems to be where people live, and there are several beds in it.

There is a living room in the middle, and two people are drinking tea and chatting there.

There were a lot of supplies in the room on the right, including grain, meat, canned food, a few chickens, some vegetables, eggs and so on.

There are two small kitchens on the other side, and under the kitchen water tank, there is a passage leading to the basement.

This basement is the real material warehouse.

He Daqing used his spiritual sense to take a closer look.

There were more than 50 sacks of rice in there. Each sack should hold at least 100 kilograms, which means there were more than 5,000 kilograms of rice.

There were more than twenty bags of flour, and if each bag weighed 100 jin, that would be more than 2,000 jin.

There are also some canned meat, millet, cornmeal, peanut oil and so on.

These are all good things, and they weigh over a thousand pounds together.

Most importantly, in a corner, He Daqing also found two large ceramic jars filled with meat oil.

This thing is really hard to get now. If He Daqing's family hadn't brought back a wild boar himself, they would have run out of oil long ago.

After seeing the situation inside clearly, He Daqing no longer hesitated.

Now in this yard, in addition to the two people drinking tea in the house, there are two gatekeepers guarding the door.

I guess it’s the busiest time at the night market now and everyone is busy, so there are relatively few people here.

He Daqing first quietly approached the two people at the door, and then approached them within ten meters. He directly pierced their minds, causing them to lose consciousness instantly.

Then without waiting for them to fall down.

He Daqing ran over quickly, supported the two people, and gently put them down, letting them lean against the door frame, looking like they were asleep.

After dealing with these two people, He Daqing jumped in from the corner again. Using the same method, he also knocked out the two people who were drinking tea in the middle living room.

There is no one in this courtyard for the time being.

He Daqing didn't dare to delay in case someone came later.

He first checked the living room with his spiritual sense.

You know what, I really gained a lot.

Under the stone slab in the corner, He Daqing found four or five thousand yuan, as well as a dozen small yellow croakers and five or six large yellow croakers.

He Daqing put these things into his own space without hesitation.

Then I went to the next room where supplies were stored and collected all the supplies inside.

Those eggs were enough to feed their family for a while.

Then he went to the basement and packed up the rice, flour, canned food, and the two jars of animal oil and took them away.

The entire basement was cleaned out by He Daqing.

In less than ten minutes, He Daqing had cleared all the supplies in the courtyard.

He came back to the wall where he came in and jumped over it with one leap.

Then we followed the path we took, passed through the ruins, and left.

I guess when those people come back and find that their lair has been destroyed, they will probably go crazy, right?

But this has nothing to do with He Daqing anymore. He has returned to his home now.

I went to the kitchen and took out some rice, flour, eggs and other things.

I looked at the house and found that there was not much meat oil left. The key point is that there is more lean meat and less fat on the wild boar. I can't make much meat oil.

He took out a jar of meat oil from the space.

If they eat sparingly, this would be enough for their family to eat for half a year.

Seeing that it was almost time, He Daqing changed his clothes, gently got into the bed, and continued to sleep while holding Chen Xueru.

Early the next morning, Sha Zhu got up to cook.

When I got to the kitchen, I saw a large jar full of rice, flour, eggs, canned food and other things?

There was also a jar on the side, which was full of animal oil when opened.

Sha Zhu was stunned, these things were so precious, where did they come from?

So Sha Zhu ran to He Daqing's house without thinking.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu didn't dare to push the door open directly, but just knocked on the door hard.

"Dad, come and see! Something big happened in our kitchen!"

He Daqing was sleeping soundly because he had been busy all night. He was awakened by Sha Zhu's shout.

Chen Xueru on the side was also woken up.

She opened her sleepy eyes and said to He Daqing, "Daqing, go check on the pillar. Is there anything wrong?"

He Daqing said angrily: "What else can you do? I haven't cleaned up for a few days, so you want to be beaten!"

After saying that, he put on his clothes and left the bedroom.

When Sha Zhu saw He Daqing coming out, he quickly shouted, "Dad, go and have a look, why are there so many more grains in the kitchen?!"

He Daqing ignored his words, took off his cloth shoes, and hit Sha Zhu with the soles of his shoes.

While beating him, he cursed: "I told you to scream! I'll beat you to death, you bastard! Don't you know that you shouldn't show off your wealth?"

"Why don't you go to the compound and shout? You're such a grown man, is your head filled with shit?"

He Daqing cursed but didn't stop. Anyway, Sha Zhu was thick-skinned and tough, so he would beat him with his shoe sole wherever he caught him.

He was even hit twice on the face, and shoe prints could be seen.
