Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 47 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind (in order to rush to the top, please collect, recommend, monthly ticket and comment)
He didn't eat the pig's trotters for dinner, planning to save them for tomorrow. Xu Damao didn't ask about it, as he had no shortage of oil and water these days.

After a short break after dinner, He Daqing took the two children to practice in the backyard. He Yuzhu did not need to practice the basics and directly learned the fighting methods. He Daqing helped Xu Damao feel his bones. This kid's talent was average, but he should have no problem protecting himself after practicing.

Of course, when He Daqing was teaching the basics, He Yuzhu also watched it. He would have to supervise Xu Damao in the future. The three of them went back after practicing for an hour. One reason was that it was too cold outside, and the other was that Xu Damao was so talented that he couldn't persist for that long.

After Zhao Cuifeng came back, she saw that Xu Damao was planning to become He Daqing's apprentice. However, He Daqing was unwilling to accept him as a disciple and only accepted him as a nominal disciple. That meant that only his son could learn all his boxing skills.

This also made Zhao Cuifeng very happy, and she said frankly that she would help Xu Damao hold the apprenticeship ceremony after Xu Fugui came back. He Daqing wanted to refuse again, but then he thought that he only had one son and it would be nice to have someone to help him in the future, so he no longer objected.

After the father and son returned home, Chen Lanxiang sent He Yuzhu back to rest, which was exactly what He Yuzhu wanted. He planned to get some sleep so that he could take action in the evening.

At ten o'clock in the evening, He Yuzhu woke up. It was quiet outside. He Yuzhu put on his clothes and went out. Then he skillfully set up a ladder, climbed over the door, got on his bicycle and headed towards Wangfujing.

He dodged several waves of patrolling soldiers and black dogs on the way and arrived safely outside Wangfujing Street. After putting away his bicycle, He Yuzhu walked along the wall towards the backyard of Mitsui & Co.

Just as he was about to take out the ladder and climb over the wall, he heard light footsteps in the yard. He lowered his body, held his breath and dared not move.

Looking in the direction of the footsteps, I waited for about half a minute and saw a figure carrying a package climb up the wall, then quickly climbed up to the roof, stepped on the eaves to reach the roof ridge, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

He Yuzhu's eyes froze, and he thought to himself, "We've encountered a master, a flying thief. I don't know what's going on inside right now."

He called out the panel and took a look. The task was still hanging on it, which meant that the most precious thing was still inside. He Yuzhu put his ear to the wall and listened for a few minutes but didn't hear any movement. He gritted his teeth, took out the ladder, climbed up the wall a few times, placed the ladder inside the wall, climbed down, and put the ladder away.

The yard was very big, as big as a basketball court. There was actually a truck and a tricycle parked there. He Yuzhu also found a rare thing - a two-wheeled motorcycle. There were also several bicycles and tricycles. Since he saw them, he naturally didn't hesitate and took them away.

After parking the car, he moved towards the main house. After entering the main house, he approached the door but didn't hear any movement inside. He pushed the door gently and it opened. It was obvious that the person had not been able to lock the door when he left.

He took out the mini flashlight given by the system, and covered it with a piece of cloth before opening it. With the help of the light, He Yuzhu began to check the room. There were some furnishings in the main room without looking at them. He walked into the inner room and saw a naked man and woman lying on the bed. He Yuzhu went forward and felt their breath. They were alive. He sniffed and there was a faint fragrance in the room. This should be because they were poisoned by smoke or something.

The flashlight shone on the man's face. Looking at the patch of beard on his lips, He Yuzhu's hands started to itch. With two "clicks", he twisted the necks of the two men.

Then he began to pack up everything in the room without leaving anything behind. When he came out of the inner room, there were only two white corpses left.

Then they cleared out the main room, and then the side rooms. They did the same thing, killing everyone inside and taking away their belongings.

There were seventeen people in total, fifteen men and one woman. There were actually eight samurai living in the wing room, because he saw the samurai's swords and ronin clothes. The rest were servants, but after collecting their things, he did not find any entrance to a secret room or the like.

The thief must have gotten what he wanted before leaving, so he searched the woodshed and the side room, and finally found something unusual in the small side room near the toilet. After taking away everything in the room, he shone a flashlight around and found a single padlock on the ground, a large leaf lock.

The ground where the lock was located was obviously less dusty than other places. It was square and about four square meters in size. I tapped the metal lightly with my hand.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "No wonder the system gave me the lock-picking skill and tools."

He removed the cloth covering the flashlight, squatted down and carefully examined the lock, especially the keyhole. There were slight scratches on it, which were obviously not caused by the key. He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh: "The thief at this time is worthy of being a thief. He has learned everything."

Taking out the unlocking tools, various ways of unlocking appeared in He Yuzhu's mind. He picked out the most suitable tool and spent about 30 seconds to poke open the lock. He threw it directly into the space and gently lifted the metal cover.

Using the flashlight, he found a staircase that sloped downwards. He first took out his Browning 1911, loaded it lightly, and then walked down the stairs with the flashlight in one hand and the pistol in the other.

Halfway down, he swung his flashlight around and found that the space below was quite large, at least three or four hundred square meters and more than four meters high. This meant that the entire yard had been hollowed out.

There were boxes of various shapes on the ground, tall, short, long, square, and He Yuzhu was shocked when he opened one. Inside were neatly packed envelopes of dollars.

Then he opened another box which was still an ocean. He changed the direction and opened it, and was almost blinded by the golden color inside. Then there were porcelain, jade, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings. What surprised him most were several bronze artifacts, tripods, chimes and some unfamiliar objects.

He thought to himself, "Life is really cruel these days. This is just one batch of stuff. I don't know how many batches I've sent away before."

He also found weapons in the warehouse, boxes of rifles, no, submachine guns, which seemed to be Prussian MPs, but he couldn't tell the specific model.

There were also cantaloupe grenades, Type 38 rifles, and he even found several mortars and boxes of shells.

After a round of walking around, He Yuzhu felt that there were too few people up there and he didn't kill them all to his heart's content. Then he began to clear out the space below. After leaving the space below, he went straight to the shop in front.

There were also four people who were knocked unconscious inside. As usual, their necks were twisted and stripped until only their loincloths were left.

He Yuzhu lay down in the crack of the shop door and observed for a while. He didn't see anyone patrolling coming. Then he took away everything from the counter outside and the small warehouse inside the shop, including rice, flour, grain, oil, cloth, cotton, needles and thread, cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea. Looking at the empty "Mitsui & Co.", He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction.

He Yuzhu followed the same route out of Mitsui & Co., looked around and saw that there was no one around, then he got on his bicycle and pedaled hard, leaving Wangfujing Street at full speed.

He avoided several frequently patrolled areas on the way and returned to the main courtyard. He listened to the movements inside the hanging flower gate in the middle courtyard before quietly returning to his ear room.
