Chapter 92: Excited Xu Damao (55)

He Yuzhu immediately became interested when he found out that it was Xu Fugui, the old coin, who was greeting Jia Zhang.

I even forgot the purpose of going out.
Quietly moved towards the central courtyard.

Passing through the hanging flower gate, He Yuzhu saw two dark shadows flashing by the corridor leading to the backyard.
So I followed them to the backyard.

But when he walked into the backyard, he did not see Xu Fugui and Jia Zhangshi.

Thinking that they might be at home,
So I went to the Xu family, the Liu family, and the deaf old lady's house to take a look.
But the families were all sleeping in the middle and front yards, and there was no one inside.
Finally, a slight noise was heard near the cellar.

He Yuzhu held his breath, moved to the cellar door and listened carefully, and found a series of "hmm" and "ah" sounds coming from the closed cellar door.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes lit up.
I thought to myself, no wonder Jia Zhang in the TV series was so resistant when she saw Yi Zhonghai delivering food to Qin Huairu in the middle of the night.

It turns out that she herself is an experienced person.

As for Xu Fugui,
Aunt Xu hasn't been home for a month since the siege of Peking. She must have been feeling very depressed.

However, He Yuzhu was not interested in eavesdropping on the two middle-aged people.

After taking a stick from under the eaves of Liu's house and jamming the door handle of the cellar, he left the courtyard as if nothing had happened.

As for whether Xu Fugui and Jia Zhangshi would freeze to death in the cellar,

He Yuzhu said it was impossible.

The storage of grains and vegetables has certain temperature requirements. Throughout the winter, the temperature in the cellar will basically remain at 12 or 3 degrees, which is higher than the temperature in the house.

For the human body,
It was a bit cold, but it was definitely not enough to freeze anyone to death, otherwise Xu Fugui and the others would not have run into the cellar.

……

With half the population missing,
At this time, most of the courtyard houses are like the girls in the Eight Great Hutongs, with their doors wide open, ready for anyone to pick them.

Walking into the courtyard of a wealthy family, it looked very messy, and it was obvious that it had been visited by someone.

But He Yuzhu didn't mind.
He accepted everything, including tables, chairs, benches, antique calligraphy and paintings, grain and coal, clothes and bedding, pots and pans.

If others can leave something behind after visiting,
Then after He Yuzhu left,

I really wish that even the stone pillars in the yard would be pulled away, so that any mice that run in would come out crying.

For most of the night, He Yuzhu picked and chose and visited more than 50 abandoned courtyards, including those of the wealthy families of Li Guichuan and Zhu Yubiao.

Although many of them have been visited by people,
But those courtyard houses that were taken over by big bullies around Shichahai, such as Yu Deshun and Han Qingkui, are still intact.

He even found two Czech light machine guns, 15 rifles and two Colt pistols in Li Guichuan's home.
and more than 8000 rounds of ammunition,

It is estimated that Yu Deshun thought that the cunning rabbit has three burrows, leaving a way out for the future.
But now it’s all cheaper for He Yuzhu.

After leaving Zhu's house in Juer Hutong, he went directly to the headquarters of Chiang Kai-shek in Houyuan'en Temple Hutong next door.
I thought that if I could clear this place out tonight, it would be a sure win.

But to his disappointment, there were still guards at the gate of the camp, and it was not empty as he had imagined.
Seeing that there was no chance, He Yuzhu did not alarm the guards and left Houyuanen Temple Hutong.

Standing in the shadow of the corner, He Yuzhu began to process tonight's harvest. After a lot of selling, he got more than 1500 taels of gold.

Seeing that it was getting late, He Yuzhu shut down the system and prepared to go home.

But as soon as he got to Maoer Hutong, he saw several posters on the wall, which were not there when he just left.
So I went over to take a look out of curiosity.
It turned out to be a propaganda poster of "Eight Peace Conditions for Supporting Teachers".

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the day before yesterday, on January 1949, 1, the teacher issued a famous statement on the current situation, in which he put forward these eight conditions.

Back to the courtyard,
He Yuzhu originally wanted to wait a while to watch Xu Fugui and Jia Zhangshi's fun, and had no intention of going to sleep.

But the bed was so warm that he fell asleep almost as soon as he touched it.

When he was woken up, the first thing he saw was Xu Damao's long face that was full of gloating.
"Zhu Zi, hurry up and get up, there will be a lot of fun."

He Yuzhu was still in a daze at this time. When he heard Xu Damao's words, he subconsciously asked,
"What's going on? Why are you so excited?"

Then Xu Damao said with a lewd look on his face,

"This morning, Aunt Yi got up to make breakfast, but she couldn't find Aunt Zhang after searching for a long time, so she called Aunt Liu, Aunt He and the others.

Finally, it was discovered that Aunt Zhang was locked in the cellar in the backyard.

When we were about to go over to see what was going on, Aunt Yi and the others rushed back to the front yard.
Uncle He just went to the backyard, let's go take a look too."

When Xu Damao finished speaking, He Yuzhu also realized what he was talking about.
Seeing his excited expression, He Yuzhu also looked strange, but thinking that he probably knew nothing at the moment, he did not expose it.

Pretending to be very interested, he climbed up from the kang.
While putting on clothes, he asked,
"Da Mao, Guang Qi and Cheng have reconciled, why don't I see them?"

"They are now keeping watch at the Chuihua Gate to see if there is anyone in the central courtyard, so as to avoid being chased out again later."

After putting on his clothes, He Yuzhu followed Xu Damao out of the house.
At this time, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi were indeed sticking their buttocks out and clinging to the corner of the hanging flower gate to observe the situation inside.
Hearing the noise behind him, Yan Jiecheng turned around and complained,

"No, Xu Damao,
My mother is guarding the corridor right now, so we definitely can’t get through.”

"Yes, I don't know what happened. Aunt Yan is now more than 5 months old, and we still asked Uncle Yan to come out to watch us.

You should think of a solution quickly."
