Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Thanks to Yu Linhai's dedication, Sha Zhu's house was finally renovated before the snow fell.

All the broken tiles on the roof were replaced with new ones, two kangs were installed in the house, and the windows and doors were renovated and painted, making them look exactly like new.

Each bedroom has a new wardrobe, desk, and dressing table, and the living room has also been replaced with a new sofa and coffee table.

Looking at the newly renovated house, both Sha Zhu and Yu Li were very satisfied.

Yu Li said happily: "Dad, after the renovation, it's so beautiful. I want to move in right away."

Yu Linhai smiled and replied, "Let's move in a few days. Open the windows to let the smell out these few days, and then pick a good day to move in a few days."

Sha Zhu was also very happy and touched everything everywhere.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dad. I'll make some delicious dishes later and we'll have a few drinks tonight."

Speaking of drinking, Yu Li snorted coldly with a dark face: "Still drinking, every time you drink my dad so much that he can't go home, let him drink less in the future!"

After listening to this, Sha Zhu secretly glanced at his father-in-law. The two looked at each other and promised Yu Li that they would drink less next time.

As for which next time it will be, that is not certain.

In the evening, He Daqing talked about the cost of renovation. Yu Linhai shook his head and said, "My dear, you are slapping me in the face. Let alone the things you often ask Zhuzi to send to my house, this time I am cleaning the house for my grandson, how can I ask for money?"

"If I accept this money, what if my grandson doesn't recognize me as his grandfather in the future?"

Finally, under the persuasion of Yu Li and Sha Zhu, Yu Linhai only symbolically collected the labor costs of the workers he called. As for his own wages and the money for buying materials, Yu Linhai was unwilling to accept them.

In the end, He Daqing gave Yu Linhai some of the little remaining bacon at home and the food he secretly took out from the space.

Years ago, Sha Zhu and Yu Li moved to the house at the back, and the rooms in the middle courtyard became He Yushui's world.

However, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the wall between He Yushui's room and the other two rooms has not been opened yet, so we can only wait until after the Chinese New Year.

The Chinese New Year is approaching. This year is the year with the worst disaster. The food available on the streets is indeed very limited, not to mention the meat and vegetables needed for the Chinese New Year, which basically have no chance to be displayed.

People with connections had already bought up all the edible items, and the only things that could be found on the market were small amounts of cabbage, potatoes, and the like.

Even for these things, you have to line up early to grab them, otherwise even if you have money and tickets, you won’t be able to buy anything.

He Daqing saw that the Chinese New Year was only a few days away, so he rode his bike into the wild again.

This time he chose the farther Mentougou area, where there are large mountains and old forests and many wild animals. He Daqing planned to try his luck here.

He Daqing set out before dawn in the morning, and by the time he arrived at the foot of the mountain in Mentougou, it was already noon.

He didn't dare to delay at all and went straight into the mountains, trying to return home early.

The year is bad now, and the prey from outside has long been swept away by the villagers. Not to mention pheasants and rabbits, there is not even a chicken feather left.

He Daqing did not stay on the outskirts and kept moving forward into the mountains.

By noon, he had already forgotten how many hills he had climbed. Without stopping, He Daqing headed straight into the depths of the mountains.

However, he didn't see any large animals along the way. Even if he exerted his mental power to the fullest, he only found a few solitary pheasants and rabbits.

Looking at the endless mountains in the distance, many of them are still covered with snow.

He Daqing sat on a big rock and took a big sip from the kettle in the space.

Even his transformed body could not bear it at this time. He had been working almost non-stop since he got up before dawn in the morning until now.

Just as he continued to drink water, a gunshot was suddenly heard not far away.

"boom!"

Then another sound was heard.

"boom!"

Along with the gunshots, there was a huge roar.

He Daqing hurriedly put the kettle into the space and ran towards the direction where the gunshots came from.

Anyone who can appear here at this time must be a villager from the surrounding area.

These villagers are extremely xenophobic. At this time when everyone is starving, if you want to take a bite of food away from under their noses, it would be a life-and-death feud.

The reason why He Daqing ran over to see was that once these people opened fire, the surrounding hills would no longer be able to see any prey. They would all be scared away and hide in the deeper old forest.

After a while, He Daqing heard noisy sounds coming from the front.

Someone shouted, "Run! This blind bear has gone mad! Run back quickly!"

Someone else shouted, "Daniu is still there, aren't we going to save him?"

Another person cursed: "How can we care about Daniu at this time? Let's escape first!"

Along with the shouts of several people, there were also bursts of roars from the blind bear.

He Daqing quickly climbed up a sturdy tree, hid on a branch and looked over there.

I saw four people running in front, two of them were holding old-fashioned hunting rifles from the countryside. This is called an old-fashioned rifle. It can only hold one bullet at a time, and it has to be reloaded after shooting, which is very troublesome.

The remaining two people ran forward empty-handed.

Behind them, a fat black bear was chasing them desperately.

However, this blind bear had a disabled hind leg and was bleeding. It might have been shot.

If the blind bear had not been injured, the four of them would have been caught up and killed by its claws.

As for the injured person they were talking about, He Daqing has not found him yet.

While He Daqing was observing, the four men had already run out of his sight, and the blind bear also followed them and disappeared from his sight.

He Daqing slipped down from the tree, quietly came behind the blind bear, and followed its blood trail.

Since there was no other prey nearby, He Daqing decided to take a gamble with it.

Along the way, looking at the increasing amount of blood under his feet, He Daqing felt that the blind bear was definitely injured not only in its hind legs, but also in other places.

You should know that at this time, blind bears basically hide in caves to hibernate and are rarely discovered.

I don’t know how these people discovered it, and they completely angered it.

After following for a long distance, He Daqing discovered that the blind bear slowly changed direction. It no longer continued to chase outside, but took a detour and ran into the mountains.

He Daqing looked around again and found that there was indeed no trace of those people who had escaped.

This proves that the blind bear gave up chasing the men for revenge and planned to hide somewhere else.

He Daqing was afraid that those people would continue to follow these traces to chase after them, so while tracking the blind bear, he destroyed all the traces they had left so that they could not find the place for the time being.

Soon, the bloodstains disappeared in front of a cave.

He Daqing extended his mental power inside and saw the injured blind bear lying on the ground, dying.

This saved He Daqing a lot of trouble.

You have to know that in the deep mountains, wild boars, blind bears and tigers are the three most ferocious wild beasts. Even if He Daqing wants to kill one, it will take some effort.

Now this thing is delivered to your door.
