Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): Don't touch my parents!

He Yuzhu practiced each move from memory.

As He Daqing looked at it, his brows gradually furrowed.

How did this kid manage to master Bajiquan to such a high level?

Putting aside the fact that his foundation is indeed solid, the way he's performing this set of punches right now looks really stiff and clumsy.

It lacked any of the fluidity and power that a trained practitioner should possess.

If He Yuzhu knew what his father was thinking, he would surely respond silently in his heart.

"Father, you don't know the benefits of the system. Your son doesn't need to bury himself in hard training at all."

"Even muscle memory was directly given to me by the system."

After reading it once, He Daqing said helplessly, "You should practice slowly by following the example."

"If you feel anything is not right or not, ask me again when you get home tonight, and I'll teach you the tricks to applying force."

He was worried that if his son pushed himself too hard, he might hurt his health.

"understood."

He Daqing turned to look at Xu Damao, who was standing to the side with envious eyes, and said, "Damao, don't be envious."

"You can't learn what your brother Zhu is practicing now. Wait until you have a solid foundation before talking about it."

Xu Damao replied with a bitter face, "Understood, Master."

He secretly thought to himself: "My brother Zhu doesn't need to train like this. You didn't see how amazing he was yesterday."

He Daqing gave a few more instructions before leaving in a hurry, as he would be late for work if he stayed any longer.

After a while, Zhao Cuifeng also went out. Before leaving, she specifically instructed Xu Damao to be sure to listen to He Yuzhu.

The two boys practiced their kung fu diligently in the courtyard for a while longer.

Just then, the deaf old lady's door creaked open.

The old lady moved a small stool, sat quietly by the door, and watched them fussing around with a smile.

"Good morning, Madam. Aren't you cold? Please go back inside and rest," He Yuzhu said as soon as he saw her.

"It's not cold, it's not cold. Watching you two boys practice your boxing makes me feel all warm and cozy."

"Zhu Zi, is this your first day learning this style of boxing?"

"No, I learned some other kung fu before, but what I'm practicing today is what my dad just taught me."

"That's more like it. The Qing Dynasty was reluctant to teach you their skills back then. I don't know what they were thinking."

"Fortunately, my eldest grandson did a great job; his punches were quite impressive."

"You flatter me too much, Madam!"

"Hehe, what haven't I seen, Madam? Do I need to coax a little brat like you?"

"hey-hey."

"When you have time in the future, learn your father's cooking skills as well, then you will be able to truly take charge of the family."

"In two years, I'll find you a beautiful and wonderful wife!"

"Madam, how old am I?"

"Soon, soon, in the blink of an eye you'll grow into a young man."

"Madam, what about me?" Xu Damao quickly chimed in.

"You? You're still a long way off, you can't even come close to my grandson."

"Oh, I didn't intend to compare myself to Brother Zhu. I'd be content if I were five times as good as him," Xu Damao muttered softly.

"What did you say?"

"No, it's nothing, madam. I will definitely try my best to catch up with Brother Zhu."

"Then I'll be waiting to see what happens, madam. Don't you dare complain about the hardship and fatigue later."

"Kung Fu isn't something you can learn in a day or two, or casually."

"I know I can definitely hold on."

"I hope you're not just all talk."

The deaf old woman's tone was full of doubt.

Xu Damao still has a bit of a spoiled attitude.

But those lips were unusually smooth.

Her eldest grandson is truly no match for her eloquence.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao did not go out during the day.

Xu Damao practiced kung fu for the entire morning.

I was so exhausted that my whole body felt weak, and I almost collapsed to the ground.

After lunch, he rushed back home and fell into a deep sleep.

In the evening, He Daqing returned home from outside.

When the family sat down to eat together, he couldn't help but complain.

"What's going on in Beijing lately?"

Why is there martial law outside again?

"Martial law again? Great Qing, why don't you just stay home and rest for a while?"

Chen Shuxiang quickly took over the conversation, her tone full of worry.

"If we don't go out to work and earn money, what will our family eat?"

He Daqing immediately retorted with a question, his tone somewhat impatient.

"I'm just worried about your safety outside."

You're getting angry with me instead.

Chen Shuxiang's face immediately showed displeasure.

"Da Qing, go ask your master tomorrow."

No amount of money is more important than one's own life!

The deaf old lady also chimed in to persuade them.

"Understood, ma'am!"

He Daqing gave a muffled reply.

He Yuzhu simply kept his head down and ate his meal in silence.

He knew the reason behind this better than anyone else.

It must be from the side of daily life.

This case has been designated as the biggest case in Beijing in recent years.

Overnight, such a large storefront...

Everything in the warehouse and secret vault was emptied.

That's not all, what about those trucks parked outside?

Can it grow wings and fly away on its own?

So many people working together

There were also patrol teams patrolling back and forth along the road.

Surprisingly, no one noticed anything amiss.

The problems here are quite serious.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as He Yuzhu had imagined.

In the morning, someone went to the Mitsui & Co. company intending to buy goods.

He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, so he simply called the police.

When the police arrived at the scene, they also banged on the door forcefully.

Just when everyone was about to smash the door down.

They finally managed to pry open the back door and enter the yard.

Upon entering the courtyard, everyone present immediately sensed that something was amiss.

Inside the trading company, apart from a few corpses lying haphazardly, there was nothing else.

It had already been looted clean, and nothing of value remained.

Such a shocking case is simply beyond the capacity of ordinary police stations to handle.

The case was immediately reported up the chain of command, and the information was sent directly to the Military Police Headquarters.

The police chief's face.

He was almost whipped by his superiors on the spot until his body swelled up to twice its original size.

The Japanese military police even brought ten hunting dogs to track down the killer.

Unfortunately, it was snowing heavily at the time, and the Wangfujing area was already crowded with people.

All traces of the scene were completely covered up.

The hunting dog had just stepped out of the trading company's gate.

They can only keep going around in circles in the same spot.

It was impossible to discern any useful direction for tracking.

Upon learning of this news, the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters...

Commander Saburo Kano personally issued an order demanding that the case be solved within a specified time.

They also secretly revealed that the stolen goods contained extremely valuable items and gold.

In short, those in the know will understand the tricks involved.

After the order was issued.

All the Japanese soldiers and police in Beijing were mobilized again.

All city gates were immediately and firmly sealed off.

However, their target this time was not ordinary civilians.

Such a large amount of supplies.

It's definitely not something an ordinary family could hide.

All the major shops and warehouses in the city were thoroughly searched.

Such a large-scale search operation will inevitably result in many people suffering as a result.

The first to suffer were the various gangs and factions that had taken up residence in the city.

Because of the police station's forensic experts.

A crucial clue was discovered on the roof of the trading company.

All indications suggest that members of the underworld were clearly involved in this case.

The city of Beijing was thrown into complete chaos for more than ten days as a result.

The Japanese searched high and low, but couldn't find a single clue.

On the contrary, the military police headquarters and the police department made a fortune from this opportunity.

They took the opportunity to wipe out several gangs that had always been unruly.

They also took the opportunity to raid and confiscate a lot of the merchants' property.

During this period of heightened tension and widespread fear.

He Yuzhu secretly took out the fish and pig's trotters that he had hidden in advance and cooked them.

If someone asks you in person about the origin of these things...

They then agreed to give the same story: that they had bought it in advance and frozen it outside.

Anyway, he has been staying at home obediently these days and has not gone out even once.

After the family ate good food for two days in a row.

He Daqing finally couldn't help but ask how many more good things were hidden outside.

As a result, the deaf old lady and Chen Shuxiang joined forces to suppress her on the spot.

After Chen Shuxiang finished eating all the food that He Yuzhu had brought out.

Finally, the milk came in smoothly.

However, the milk supply is still not very sufficient.

We need to supplement with more formula.

So He Yuzhu quietly produced another can of milk powder and took it home.

If Chen Shuxiang hadn't been fully aware of the situation...

He Yuzhu hasn't stepped out of his house at all these days.

She probably couldn't help but lose her temper with him long ago.

Every morning when I practice my exercises.

The deaf old lady would always stand aside and watch quietly for a while.

In the afternoon, He Yuzhu would play mahjong in the yard to pass the time.

Or he could chat with Chen Shuxiang to help her relieve her worries.

The Jia family mother and son hid in their home for three whole days.

Only then did I dare to cautiously venture out.

Whenever the enticing aroma of food wafts from the He family's courtyard...

Madam Jia would always hide to the side and mutter a few curses.

It's simply because the deaf old lady in the backyard has always been there.

Even if she was very dissatisfied, she didn't dare to make a scene or cause trouble.

After Jia Dongxu discovered that Xu Damao was learning martial arts from He Daqing.

He then had the idea of ​​secretly learning a few self-defense techniques.

He Yuzhu saw through his little scheme at a glance.

He immediately told Xu Damao to go back to his own yard and practice standing meditation.

As for the boxing techniques he practiced himself.

It didn't matter how much Jia Dongxu peeked.

Without someone carefully guiding you, how can you avoid ruining your body through training?

That truly makes him a martial arts prodigy, one in a century.

Jia Dongxu had no idea about the intricacies of these matters.

Having only learned a few moves, he ran to the front yard and started practicing haphazardly.

As a result, I accidentally strained my hip.

The pain was so bad that I couldn't get out of bed.

When Jia Zhangshi saw that her son was injured, she immediately ran to the He family to try to extort money from them.

The deaf old woman then chased them away with her cane.

By evening, Jia Laonian had no other choice.

He had no choice but to personally visit the He family to apologize.

That very night, Jia Zhangshi's face was swollen again after being beaten.

These days, Jia Zhangshi will absolutely not go out unless it is absolutely necessary.
