A little madman moved into the courtyard house next door.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two years, the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang has become much quieter without Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi.

The fighting between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao has decreased significantly. The only major disturbance is that Liu Haizhong beats his child at home every day, and Liu Guangfu went to the juvenile detention center, so Liu Guangtian is left to eat his fill of meat with a leather belt.

Qin Huairu continued to cling to Sha Zhu and suck his blood as always, occasionally sneaking into the cellar with Xu Damao.

The biggest change in this beastly institution was in the Jia family. Without the medicine prepared by Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu quickly became pregnant and gave birth to her second child, Xiao Dang.

However, Qin Huairu was unsure whether Xiaodang belonged to Xu Damao or Jia Dongxu.

…………

Xiao Sanfeng didn't like to cause trouble, unlike the protagonists in later online novels who constantly challenged everyone and everything. As long as the beasts in the neighboring yard didn't bother him, he didn't provoke them.

Xiao Sanfeng only went to Qianmen Street once to get clothes made, and he hasn't been there since.

……

In the past two years, during the Qingming Festival, Xiao Sanfeng also used his tracking skill to secretly go back to pay respects to his adoptive father, who was originally his owner, and sweep his grave.

After all, Xiao Chuhe was a martyr, and they paid for his upbringing. Xiao Sanfeng also inherited his estate and enjoys the benefits of a martyr's family member, so it's only right that he go back to pay his respects.

When Xiao Sanfeng returned to Xiaojia Village, he also paid respects to the maternal grandfather whom the original owner had never met.

Every time he went back for the Qingming Festival, Xiao Sanfeng would come and leave secretly. He never had any contact with the people of Xiaojia Village.

……

Xiao Sanfeng focused most of his energy on his studies, reading during class and seeking help from teachers after class. To outsiders, he was a smart and studious student.

Xiao Sanfeng's excellent performance made him a focus of attention for teachers and the school.

When Xiao Sanfeng applied to skip a grade, both the teachers and the school immediately agreed. Through continuous exams and skipping grades, he has now graduated from elementary school.

Xiao Sanfeng's completion of a five-year primary school curriculum in just two years did not surprise his teachers or the school. On the contrary, they felt that his intelligence and diligence were to be expected of him.

Of course, with his college education in his later life and his enhanced intelligence now, he would have no problem taking the college entrance exam.

In order to avoid becoming the focus of more attention, Xiao Sanfeng stopped trying to break free.

……

Xiao Sanfeng, familiar with the course of history, knew that after three years of drought, coupled with the fact that higher authorities had focused their energy and resources on mushroom cultivation, there were also some external human factors, and the debts that needed to be repaid.

61 was the worst year of the famine, and also the year that tested humanity the most. When a person is starving, they are capable of anything.

Money will be worthless then, and human life will be worthless too. Pork on the black market can sell for ten or twenty yuan per kilogram, and grain can sell for a few yuan per kilogram.

For an ordinary family with only 20 yuan, not going hungry is a luxury.

Even for families of cadres who earn over a hundred yuan a month, eating meat is a luxury.

At that time, a steamed bun could be exchanged for a wife, and a bowl of cornmeal porridge would be the family's hope for survival.

But Xiao Sanfeng simply couldn't bear to guard the mountains of supplies in the space and eat cornmeal porridge every day.

………………

Today is August 10, 1960. Xiao Sanfeng is now 12 years old in this world.

The weather outside is extremely hot, and Xiao Sanfeng, who is on holiday at home, hasn't gone out. He's brewed a pot of tea and is listening to the radio inside.

Bai Wushuang, who was sewing shoe soles, said, "Sanwa, these past two years, the radio has been constantly reporting good news about bumper harvests everywhere. Grain yields are said to be over 10,000 jin per mu, and some rice yields are even 200,000 jin per mu. Why is the grain ration in Beijing getting lower and lower?"

Xiao Sanfeng smiled and said, "Grandma, do you think those things can be believed? Tens of thousands of catties per mu? That's more like weighing the stones and mud in the field together."

"Sigh, I don't know what these people are thinking. Aren't they just harming people? I went out for a walk this morning, and the streets were full of people fleeing famine."

"Grandma, let me warn you! Don't go around doing good deeds and bring those refugees back with you."

"You reckless brat, do you really think your grandma is a fool? Grandma raised an ungrateful wretch back then, but I'll never be that stupid again."

"That's good. I was really afraid you'd get too sentimental again."

"Sanwa, do you think we're only eating two meals a day now, just like everyone else?"

"No need. Everyone knows we have Xiaofei who goes hunting. The fact that we have food and drink only shows that we're capable. Why should we starve ourselves?"

"Okay! I understand."

Xiao Sanfeng sat there and began to make plans. The space contained mountains of grain and tens of thousands of tons of meat.

Especially those canned meats, they take up space, it's better to take them out and turn them into wealth.

Anyway, with his ever-changing masks and the ability to track people across vast distances, no one can catch him or find him.

Selling these supplies for money is one thing, but exchanging them for gold, jewelry, antiques, and paintings would also be a good option.

Later, I'll build an exhibition hall on the island, and take my family there to admire these sparkling jewels whenever we have free time. We could also emulate the literary figures and indulge in a bit of refined taste.

Let's build another pyramid, entirely made of gold. That glittering pyramid will definitely dazzle the eyes of foreigners, even more than the Egyptian pyramids.

Since we're going to sell canned meat on the black market, we also need to get rid of all the junk in our storage space. Let's pack it up and sell it to the government!

By the way, the island is still in the space and hasn't been released yet. I'll release it this time so I can become an island master in the future.

Having made his plans, Xiao Sanfeng also prepared to go out for a stroll. He said, "Grandma, I'm going out for a bit."

Bai Wushuang nodded and said, "Go ahead and get busy. Be careful out there!"

"Yes, I know."

Xiao Sanfeng got up and went out, leaving Wangcai at home to watch the house. He gave Xiaofei an order to fly ahead to a small, uninhabited island in the high seas of the Pacific Ocean.

Having arranged everything, Xiao Sanfeng left home.

………………

Xiao Sanfeng left Nanluoguxiang and walked on the street.

The streets were filled with refugees, all of them disheveled and barefoot with blackened feet.

They sat on the street corners or lay down. Helplessness and despair were evident in the eyes of every refugee.

The adults were dressed in tattered linen clothes. Some of the men's clothes had been reduced to strips of cloth.

The women's clothes were patched up, with holes everywhere except for the parts that covered their private parts.

The children were in even worse condition; the girls and older boys were dressed in adult clothes or covered with tattered sacks.

Younger boys are usually naked, with their buttocks and buttocks exposed, and some boys don't even have any clothes on.

Xiao Sanfeng walked for a while when a man, a teenager, and a woman stopped him in front of him.

The woman exclaimed, "Sanwa, is it really you? We've finally found you!"

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Sanfeng recognized his original owner's heartless and ungrateful mother, along with his eldest brother Xiao Wenfeng and second brother Xiao Lingfeng. How did they manage to find their way to Beijing?

That makes sense, he definitely couldn't survive in his hometown in Western Shu. So he came all the way to the capital, Beijing, to find Xiao Sanfeng.

Since we've run into them, let's find out what their situation is like. After all, hearing about other people's unhappiness can make us happier.

Xiao Sanfeng asked, "Why are you here? Where is Xiao Huaduo?"

Xiao Lingfeng said, "My sister is already married. Her husband is Wang Mazi from town."

"Holy crap, Wang Mazi is 55 years old this year! And he's a hunchback, how can you bear to marry 17-year-old Xiao Huaduo to him?"

"Third brother, let's not talk about this. I haven't eaten for two days. Please give second brother something to eat!"

"Xiao Lingfeng, you all have the ability to come to Beijing, how come there's nothing to eat?"

"Third brother, stop talking. That son of a bitch of a brother-in-law only gave us 20 yuan, and we've already spent it all on the way here."

Xiao Sanfeng laughed: "Hahaha, you've run out of money? That's right, people as heartless and ungrateful as you deserve to be sleeping on the streets like this."

Bai Jinfeng shouted, "Sanwa, I am your mother, Bai Jinfeng, and this is your own brother, born of the same mother. How can you abandon us?"

Xiao Sanfeng sneered and said, "Bai Jinfeng, your son Xiao Sanfeng died the day you abandoned him. Since you could be so heartless as to abandon me back then, how dare you come looking for me now?"

Xiao Wenfeng said anxiously, "Third brother, I'm your eldest brother! How can you live a good life in Beijing and then forget about us?"

"Heh, big brother? When I was lying in bed unable to move, did you even remember you were my big brother?"

Bai Jinfeng shouted, "Xiao Sanfeng, I don't care about anything else. We're in Beijing now, with no food, no clothes, and no shelter. You have to take care of us."

"Yes, I'm your older brother. If you dare to abandon us, I'll sue you."

"Tch, I don't care. Go ahead and sue me!" Xiao Sanfeng said and continued walking.
