First, he looked at the extra 100 kilograms of rice, 3200 kilograms of wheat, meat, wine, tea, and sugar in the space, and then he looked at the time in the space.
When he found that the ghost market was about to close, He Yuzhu carefully returned to the city.

In the following days, he set up a stall to sell buns during the day and strolled around the ghost market at night.

As he expected,
After secret observation, I found that in the past few nights, there were many strange figures in the ghost market who only looked but did not buy.

However, He Yuzhu did not make any big moves these days. He just bought 3 or 5 kilograms of food and supplies like everyone else.

Plus, everyone in the black market is dressed similarly.
Therefore, it is not easy for these people to find him out from the crowd without making any noise.

It's a pity that the good times don't last long,

He Yuzhu had just bought seven or eight days' worth of supplies at the ghost market when the situation suddenly became tense.

By mid-December, the People's Liberation Army had successively cleared out various important outlying strongholds, including the Lugou Bridge, Nanyuan Airport, and Wanping County, and officially laid siege to the city, encircling the entire city of Peking.

Drum Tower,

He Yuzhu was wrapping buns just like he had done a few days ago while listening to He Daqing talking to the neighbors.
At this moment, there was a sudden rumble of artillery fire outside the city.

The loud explosions continued to shake people's minds. The neighbors subconsciously covered their ears and the streets were instantly in chaos.

"The city is under attack! Everyone, run!"

"There's a war going on, run!"

At this time, He Daqing also pulled He Yuzhu who was making dumplings.

“Don’t wrap the pillars anymore, go home quickly.

Master Gui, don't worry about your burden, let's go quickly."

Knowing that the shells would not fall into the city anyway, He Yuzhu was not too anxious.
Hearing He Daqing calling him, he was still in the mood to chat.
"Dad, Uncle Gui, why are you panicking?

Listen to the sound of the artillery, it is a heavy artillery, if it really falls on us, not even a mosquito will survive within a radius of dozens of meters.

Where can we go on our two legs?
If it doesn't land here, there's no need to run."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, He Daqing and Gui Shu both listened attentively and found that the sound of the cannon was indeed much louder than what they had heard before.

But even so, He Daqing still urged,

"Okay, stop showing off here. Whether we can blow it up or not, we have to go back quickly.
If a shell falls into the courtyard,
Even if we have to die, our family will die together."

Seeing that He Daqing was thinking this way, He Yuzhu stopped talking nonsense, put down the buns in his hand and started to pack them up.
"Okay, okay, let's go back first.

But we still have to take these guys back! It won’t cost a little while anyway.”

"What are you doing? The water on the stove is boiling hot. I can't hold the stove and pour out the coal.

Go back first. If there is nothing else, we can come back later.

It’s just a few steps away anyway.”

He Yuzhu thought so too. Although it was quite warm to stand by the stove in the winter, he didn't dare to do it.

Just as He Yuzhu followed He Daqing to the courtyard,
I saw the customers of the nearby gambling dens and opium shops crawling out of their shops and rushing home in a hurry.

Back to the courtyard,
At this time, the yard was in chaos.
Yan Bugui and Xu Fugui, two grown men, paced anxiously in the front yard;

Jia Zhangshi, Bai Guafu and other women, as well as Xu Damao's young ones, were also looking at the two men in panic, waiting for them to make a decision.
He Yushui and Xu Zhaodi were frightened by the sound of the cannons and burst into tears.

Seeing his brother coming back, He Yushui ran up to him and hugged him.
"Brother, I'm scared!"

Looking at his sister who was hugging him tightly, He Yuzhu bent down and picked her up, then patted her back gently.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of the rain, my brother is back."

At the same time, Yan Bugui and Xu Fugui saw He Daqing coming back and hurried over to him.
"Old He, you're back just in time. Come up with some ideas.

The fighting outside the city is so fierce now. If the attack spreads into the city all of a sudden, what should we do?
We need to come up with a charter quickly."

At this time, Jia Zhang, Bai Guafu and several other women behind also surrounded them.

He Daqing glanced at the anxious people, but didn't see the deaf old lady. He asked in confusion,

"Where did the old lady go?"

"When the cannon was fired just now, the old lady got so scared that she twisted her foot. Now she is resting on the kang in Old Yi's house."

"It's okay! The old lady is so old, I hope nothing bad happens to her."

"It's just a sprained ankle, what's the big deal? Why don't you tell me what we should do?"

Hearing that the deaf old lady was fine, He Daqing stopped asking questions and started to give some advice.

"If you ask me, the situation outside is unclear right now, so it's definitely not suitable to go out and run around. It's better to stay in the courtyard.
If there is no other choice, take shelter in the cellar first.

At least there's some shelter in the cellar to protect us from rocks and wood chips."

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, Xu Fugui retorted,
"Lao He, we were just about to go to the cellar.

But listen to the sound of the cannon, how powerful it is.
I'm afraid the shells won't land on the courtyard, but instead collapse the cellar, which would bury us all!"

After listening to Xu Fugui's reasons, He Daqing thought that the cellar of the courtyard house was indeed very large, and he also felt that the cellar might not be able to withstand the pressure.
"Why don't we all spread out, lest the shells fall into the yard and wipe us all out."

After that, Yan Bugui said that this was not reliable either.

Seeing that this and that didn't work, He Daqing had no other options and said angrily,

"Then what do you want to do?
We can't escape from the city at this time!

Not to mention that there were trenches and bunkers everywhere outside the city, so it was impossible to escape.

Even if I escape, if I'm mistaken for a spy, I won't have anywhere to cry."
