Siheyuan, my new life

Zhou Hong and Zhou Huang didn't think Guo Yongping's killing of six people tonight was excessive. After all, Guo Yongping originally intended to spend real money to buy grain. If the grain seller hadn't been greedy and wanted to steal Guo Yongping's valuables, he wouldn't have killed him.

Moreover, old monsters like Zhou Hong, who have lived for countless years, have never taken worldly laws seriously, and instead follow the principles of right and wrong, cause and effect, and the cycle of retribution.

If Guo Yongping had started the robbery and murder from the beginning, Zhou Hong and Zhou Huang would definitely have intervened immediately to stop him and imprisoned him to await their master's judgment.

However, tonight Guo Yongping was only preparing to spend money to buy supplies. He made a transaction with the meat vendor for more than 8,000 yuan, and the money and goods were exchanged. He did not use his high-tech weapons to commit robbery.

As for those who were killed, in Zhou Hong and Zhou Huang's eyes, they had simply sought their own deaths. It is said that those who kill can also be killed. Afterwards, Guo Yongping took away all the grain and other valuables, which was just collecting his own spoils of war. It was completely different from a real "double-cross".

Therefore, Zhou Hong and Zhou Huang will only record all of Guo Yongping's whereabouts tonight, just like the other eleven transmigrators, each of whom has a complete surveillance record.

In fact, among the twelve time travelers tonight, three others also went to different black markets, all with the same goal of buying daily necessities such as food and meat. However, they were lucky enough to not only successfully buy what they needed, but also avoid the rare occurrence of being "double-crossed" by the black market.

Although the three people's purchases were significantly larger than those of ordinary families, this was not uncommon in the current black market. There were still some remnants of the Qing Dynasty and large capitalists who had accepted the public-private partnership. Their families often numbered a dozen or even dozens of people. These wealthy families would buy large quantities of fine grains and meat at the black market each time. In fact, these families were the most popular consumer group on the black market. Moreover, these families would always bring a lot of people with them when they went to the black market, partly to transport supplies, but mainly to ensure their safety. Even those who robbed people on the road dared not easily provoke these wealthy families. After all, even a broken ship has three thousand nails. Even though these people were now down on their luck, they were not people that petty thieves dared to mess with.

Relying on his superhuman senses, Guo Yongping not only spotted and evaded the patrol teams while riding his bicycle, but also discovered several groups of people hiding at major intersections. These people were clearly targeting ordinary people returning from the black market. To avoid any trouble, he took a detour to avoid them.

Just now, in the warehouse of the masked men in black, Guo Yongping decisively shot and killed those six guys. After all, this was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands in both his lives. On his way back from the scene, his feelings were extremely complicated. He felt both uneasy after killing someone for the first time and a strange excitement and exhilaration. With these contradictory and conflicted feelings, he successfully returned to the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

However, Guo Yongping did not enter the courtyard through the main gate. It was already late at night, and even if he was careful, the creaking sound of the old gate opening would be particularly noticeable in the quiet of the night. If anyone living in the back house or the front yard was awakened by the sound of the door opening and discovered that it was him, they would definitely gossip behind his back. Based on the principle of avoiding trouble, Guo Yongping easily jumped over a wall on the side of the back house. He then carefully observed the activity in the courtyard. At this time, he could faintly hear snoring coming from the two households living in the back house. There was nothing unusual in the courtyard under the cover of night. He then quietly slid down the wall and tiptoed through the passageway back to the front yard. Without disturbing anyone, he unlocked his door and entered his own home.

Guo Yongping didn't turn on the light. Using the faint light from the coal stove, he took out his bicycle from his storage space and gently placed it against the wall. Then he added a lot of coal to the stove, weighed it down with some broken coal, and then washed up briefly before going to bed. He had originally planned to find a way to buy some more coal later, as his monthly supply was probably only enough for cooking. As for heating, that was out of the question. However, tonight's trip to Guijie Street had not only allowed him to obtain a large amount of meat, grain, seeds, livestock pups, and chicks, but he had also acquired a large pile of high-quality coal and a lot of chopped firewood from the black-clad masked man's courtyard. Obviously, those guys had gotten the coal and firewood for their own use, and now it all benefited Guo Yongping.

As usual, Guo Yongping was awakened by the sounds of residents greeting each other and talking outside the courtyard house in the early morning. He subconsciously reached for his pillow, but couldn't find his phone. Then he realized that he had traveled to a parallel world more than sixty years in the future, and he immediately became alert.

After getting dressed and getting up, Guo Yongping's first action was to quickly walk out of the bedroom, go to the coal stove in the outer room, pick up the kettle on the stove, and see that there were still a few pieces of coal burning in the firebox. He quickly picked up the coal tongs, added a few more pieces of coal, and then began to wash up.

This morning, Guo Yongping didn't plan to cook either. After the flames in the stove rose, he took out six warm steamed buns and a plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes from his storage space and sat down at the octagonal table to eat breakfast.

After finishing breakfast and washing the dishes and chopsticks, Guo Yongping glanced at his watch. It was not yet seven o'clock. He brewed a pot of jasmine tea, lit a cigarette, and sat down at the octagonal table. While drinking tea and smoking, he mentally organized the items in his storage space. After returning early this morning, he tried to suppress his excitement and forced himself to fall asleep as soon as possible. Only now did he begin to check his gains.

When Guo Yongping saw the neatly stacked cornmeal and corn flour in the storage space, he couldn't help but slap his thigh. He had only sent the chicks, ducklings, and livestock chicks into the planting and breeding space, but he had forgotten to provide feed for the planting and breeding robots.
