Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

He Yuzhu left the market and hid along an alley, planning to conduct a private transaction with the stall owner the next night. Speaking of the "black eating black" business, He Yuzhu was happy to see it happen. If the other party intended to cheat, then he would not show mercy and would fight with all his strength!

He Yuzhu then quickly went home to take a nap. After getting up in the morning, he did morning exercises, cooked food and got ready for work as usual.

During the day, he used his break time to read the books provided by Xu Huizhen and focused on studying the skills of identifying ancient cultural relics. As his knowledge gradually accumulated, he had mastered a lot of relevant knowledge by the time he got off work, which raised his antique appreciation skill level to the sixth level.

As night fell, everyone fell into a deep sleep. He Yuzhu got up carefully, disguised himself, changed his clothes, and left home quietly. With his existing skills, he didn't have to worry about being exposed even in the dark. All this was as easy as taking something out of a bag for him.

Not long after, he quickly found the agreed location the day before, walked around a few times to confirm it was safe, and then selected a place with poor visibility as the handover point, where he placed 500 kilograms of coarse grains, 100 kilograms of concentrated feed, 40 kilograms of fresh meat, 20 bags of baby milk powder and other supplies.

The above mentioned materials were only a small part of their usual reserves. After making all the arrangements, He Yuzhu hid in a secluded corner and waited for any changes. Once something unusual happened, he could immediately retrieve the items and evacuate.

Soon, several people appeared, each carrying a backpack that looked quite heavy. At this time, someone asked:

"Old Five, with so many things, aren't you afraid that the other party will snatch them?" Old Five, the vendor from the previous day, replied helplessly:

“We have nothing to eat, drink or use, but we can’t give up as long as we have this little hope.

Third and sixth brother, didn't he say that your two children would eventually want this? Even if that weren't the case, the three of us wouldn't just do nothing!"

Someone responded:

"Fifth brother, you are right!"

He Yuzhu listened to the conversation between these people and saw seven figures approaching, each with a backpack behind him. When He Yuzhu suddenly appeared in front of the seven people, they were ready to fight, but Lao Wu stopped them with a wave of his hand:

"Don't worry, this person is the one I mentioned to you!" Even so, the other six people still stared at He Yuzhu vigilantly. He Yuzhu looked at them and then said:

"Okay, everyone is a little worried, right? This cooperation is important to all of us, we have to give it a try!"

After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the room. After hesitating for a moment, the others followed him in. After confirming that He Yuzhu was the only one in the room, they relaxed a little. The fifth one took a step forward:

"Sir, these are some items we brought with us. Please take a look!" After saying this, he took out items from his backpack, placed them on the ground one by one, and introduced the historical background of each item.

He Yuzhu is good at appreciating antiques. After checking them out, he confirmed that they were indeed genuine. He nodded in approval:

"Very good, I'm very satisfied. I'll accept all of these you brought. May I ask what you would like to exchange for them?" As for those not-so-valuable antiques that he had seen yesterday, Lao Wu did not take out!

The others saw this and understood that He Yuzhu was interested in doing business with Lao Wu. However, Lao Wu was not in a hurry to make the deal, but suggested:

"Sir, since I have brought other people, why don't you take a look at what they brought? Maybe there is something you like more!"

He Yuzhu thought about it and agreed:

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll take a look at other people's belongings too!"

Next, he began to examine the items that others brought one by one. To his surprise, these items were not only of high quality, but also contained a number of precious items, especially three rare items. He Yuzhu was secretly shocked: these treasures will be priceless in the future! So he said to several people:

"Everything you brought is excellent, no need to elaborate. I have 500 kilograms of grain, 200 kilograms of refined grain, 100 kilograms of pork, and 40 bags of milk powder.

No matter how low the price goes, I believe we will make a deal because everyone understands the actual value of these things today. Although they may have been priceless in the past,

But nowadays, it is worthless in most cases. I think many people would be willing to exchange it just for some food.

You must be here for your family's livelihood, so I won't talk too much about the price. I will accept all the goods you bring today, just in exchange for the food I mentioned earlier."

Do you agree to the exchange?"

There was unexpected joy in the eyes of several people, because although these items were not the most precious in their homes, they did not have the courage to trade the most precious things.

However, what was unexpected was that He Yuzhu was so generous and provided 500 kilograms of coarse grains, 200 kilograms of fine grains, 100 kilograms of pork and 40 packs of milk powder.

These are the supplies they urgently need.

Lao Wu suppressed his excitement and said, "I agree!"

He Yuzhu knew very well that every item in this batch of goods, if sold in the near future, would be enough to buy back dozens or even hundreds of times the equivalent value.

If these rare items are brought to the future market, their value can easily reach millions. In view of this, He Yuzhu did not lower the price too much, but quietly increased the share a little.

He Yuzhu continued:

"Please come over and check the goods I prepared. You can take them away after confirming that they are correct. If you have any questions, we can discuss it again then."

Everyone thought what he said made sense, so the fifth and third brothers followed He Yuzhu to the place where the goods were placed. Once they arrived, they saw half a head of pork that had been cut and placed on a plastic sheet, as well as seven bags of food - all weighing a full 100 kilograms.

He Yuzhu asked:

"Would you like to check the weight again?"

Several people saw at a glance that the amount of food was sufficient and met the standard for weighing, so they all shook their heads. The fifth brother opened the bags one by one and tasted them one by one. This scene reminded He Yuzhu of the scene of people exchanging fine noodles in the past; but he didn't say much, just saw the third brother nodded in confirmation and then spoke:

"You can leave the items here, but please take the food with you!"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, several people immediately took action and quickly moved the goods away, fearing that this large pile of supplies would attract others and put themselves in crisis.

After these people left, He Yuzhu calmly packed up the items left at the scene and left alone.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu did not take any special action.

Instead, he went straight home and went to work as usual the next day.

However, He Yuzhu did not realize that the news of this transaction had caused a sensation among the Bannermen.

In a large courtyard in a remote village, about 200 members gathered, and a dignified old man asked:

"Old Five, describe in detail what happened to you!"

Lao Wu recalled: "I met He Yuzhu and completed the exchange. Now the grain, meat and milk powder have been brought back. The milk powder has been distributed to several families with children, and the grain is stored here!"

After hearing Lao Wu's story, the others asked:

"So how much information do you know about that person?" The fifth brother shook his head and said, "I have no idea! He also used a disguise. Even if we know his identity, we have no way to track him!" The sixth brother continued, "That person is very cautious. He is almost unrecognizable after the disguise." The second brother added, "When I looked at him, I felt extremely sinister. He seemed to be proficient in martial arts and his level was superb. When he stared at me, I almost thought my life was in danger!"

"Alas, these foods are indeed a large amount of supplies, but for so many people it is just a drop in the bucket!" said Lao Wu.

"Everyone, what do the elders think about this matter?" The elder asked after a moment of silence:

"Have you arranged a specific time for the next transaction?"

After listening to the clan leader's words, Lao Wu replied, "He didn't reveal the details, so I remained silent." Hearing this, other members expressed their doubts:

"Chief, is it possible that he is also facing a food shortage problem?"

"Yes, that's true. The things the seven brothers took away are not rare, but they are worth a lot in the outside world's trading market."

"Yes, it is indeed so!"

The clan leader comforted everyone and said:

"Okay, don't worry too much. As for whether he has any extra food, Lao Wu, you can take some time to go to the pigeon market. If you meet that young man, try to ask him about it; if you miss him, it doesn't matter."

Lao Liu then added:

"I'm afraid there's little hope. After all, even if Fifth Brother sees him next time, he may not recognize him. That little fellow's disguise skills are so superb that even I couldn't recognize him at first.

If I hadn’t noticed later that his expression was too stiff, I probably wouldn’t have realized that he was wearing a ** mask.”

This statement surprised everyone present: "Mask? Hasn't that thing disappeared for many years?"

"That may be true for us, but it doesn't mean it's a legend in the outside world."

Facing the shock of the crowd, the clan leader gently waved his hand to stop the discussion:

"Although we have solved the problem of food supply, we still need to be prudent in our use and reduce food waste to at least ensure our survival. Once the difficulties are over, we can consider enjoying life!"

Although everyone was eager to have a full meal, they understood the patriarch's reasoning - if they over-consumed resources at this moment, they would likely face greater difficulties in the future. Thinking that if they had not united to overcome the difficulties, perhaps members of the family would have died of hunger, this consensus forced them to agree with the elders' views.

The patriarch turned to the fifth brother and said:

"Old Five has made great contributions this time. According to the old rules, you should be rewarded with gold, silver, pearls and jade, but now these are just superficial things. However, in order to recognize your contribution, I can allow you to enter the family treasure room and choose a favorite item as a reward. But only one. If you can contact the young man again and exchange for more supplies, I will also record your achievement."
