Traveling through 1942 with space

"Erda, big brother, big sister, everyone come over and have some tea.

"Big sister, sister Qiuju, sister Dongmei, this tea has rock sugar and mint in it, it's refreshing, I asked the dental assistant to make us a pot of it." Hou Xiaoge said as she entered the room carrying a pot of freshly poured tea.

"There's rock sugar in the tea. This dental shop must be really rich." The more lively Qiu Ju took the teacup and poured it herself.

"Erda, after you finish drinking, pour the tea leaves into our bamboo tube. After the expiration date, you can take it back and boil water to drink it one or two times." Hou Xiaoge said with a smile as he looked at everyone who was drinking tea happily.

"Heiwa, when did you become so calculating? You're even better at calculating than the landlords." Hou Xiazhu patted Hou Xiaoge's arm and teased.

"hey-hey!

"Be diligent and manage the household well, be diligent and manage the household well." Hou Xiaoge said foolishly.

"Heiwa, is it okay for us to drink other people's tea and take their tea leaves?" Erda Houmin asked worriedly.

"It's okay. The tea in their dental shop is meant to entertain customers. If we don't drink it, they will feed it to themselves at night." Hou Xiaoge waved his hand to reassure Erda.

"Well, you are braver than Monkey King now, I can't argue with you." Hou Minyou shook his head and squatted in the corner with his eyes closed to take a nap.

After eating, especially in the hot summer, people tend to feel sleepy.

It was Hou Xiaoge's first time in the city and he was eager to go out for a walk. After coaxing and persuading the sleepy Erda for a while, he happily left the city with a backpack on his back.

In addition to the dental shop, Hou Xiaoge began to wander around the streets, looking here and there, his eyes full of curiosity about the cities of the Republic of China.

The county town at that time was really small, with only two commercial streets in total, and the most prosperous one was the street leading directly from the north and south city gates.

The other back street is mainly occupied by large-scale businesses and gray areas, such as Yichun Building, Fan's Dental Clinic, Baoshang Association, and martial arts hall.

"Changji Grocery Store, this should be a small supermarket in this era! Let's go in and take a look."

Walking to the door of a grocery store, Hou Xiaoge walked in curiously as he saw the store filled with bamboo baskets, brooms and other tools.

"Little boy, what do you want?" As soon as Hou Xiaoge entered, a middle-aged man stood up from the counter and asked.

"Hello, boss uncle. Do you have salt and seasonings?" Hou Xiaoge asked, looking at the jar of salt behind the counter.

The owner of the grocery store initially thought that Hou Xiaoge wanted to steal things in the store and was a little wary, but after hearing Hou Xiaoge's polite inquiries, he realized that he had misunderstood and that this was a real customer.

"Yes, I run a grocery store, how can I not have these things? What do you want, kid? How much do you want?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Hou Xiaoge didn't buy much. He only spent one dollar to buy a pound of salt from the grocery store, as well as a bamboo tube of soy sauce, vinegar and other condiments.

Hou Xiaoge knew very well that one should not show off one's wealth. One dollar for a child to buy things was already a lot. Any more would easily test people's hearts.

After leaving the grocery store, Hou Xiaoge went to five or six other stores to buy several kilograms of salt and some rapeseed oil and other seasonings. What made him happiest was that he bought five or six kilograms of yellow rock sugar and maltose.

It was a bad year and the seed shop business was also bleak. When Hou Xiaoge came to the seed shop, the owner was comfortably lying on a deck chair and taking a nap!

"Hmph! Boss, do you have any rice seeds and corn seeds?" Hou Xiaoge coughed loudly twice after entering the door, then shouted.

The boss was so frightened that he stood up from the recliner.

"Where did you come from, you little bastard? You're disturbing people's rest in the middle of the day." The boss seemed to be in a bad mood and started to scold Hou Xiaoge.

"Are you still doing business as a boss? I want corn and rice seeds, as well as some vegetable seeds. Do you have them in your store? If not, I will buy them from another store." Hou Xiaoge looked unhappy when he was scolded.

"Yes, a pound of corn seeds is 50 cents, and a pound of rice seeds is 70 cents. Can a little kid like you afford it?" The shopkeeper said with contempt as he looked at Hou Xiaoge's shabby clothes.

"If I can afford it, can you give me a discount?" Hou Xiaoge said angrily.

"Sure, I'll give you a discount of 1 cent each." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Hmph! Vampire." Hou Xiaoge was too lazy to argue with the boss and ordered one pound of each type of seeds.

I also asked about the seeds that were not available in my space, and spent two dollars to buy some of each.

The boss looked Hou Xiaoge up and down, as if he was very interested in the fact that Hou Xiaoge bought so many kinds of seeds.

Hou Xiaoge glared at the boss, but without any stage fright, he took the seeds and ran out of the seed store.

After spending more than twenty dollars in several stores, Hou Xiaoge was afraid that he would be targeted. He was not afraid now that he had initially figured out his spatial ability, but it would be bad if it involved his family.

So Hou Xiaoge simply turned from passive to active and took the initiative to attract the bad guys. He came to a pancake stall and ordered one pancake directly, which cost twelve dollars.

After putting the sesame cakes into the backpack, Hou Xiaoge completed today's shopping and walked on streets with few people to see if anyone was following him.

Sure enough, his spiritual power discovered that there were two young men following him all the way. Both of them had knives on their waists, and it was obvious that they were not good people.

There were only two people, and Hou Xiaoge said it was easy to solve the problem. When they came to a collapsed yard, Hou Xiaoge went straight in.

"Gouzi, this fat sheep has discovered us, let's chase it." One of the men saw Hou Xiaoge sneak into the broken yard and suddenly became anxious. After saying that, he strode after him.

Seeing that Hou Xiaoge was just a child, the two men did not show any caution and rushed into the broken yard to look for him.

"Wow!"

As soon as the two men walked into a dilapidated house, several tons of broken bricks and tiles poured down from the void. The two men didn't even have the chance to react or shout before they were buried under the rubble.

In the void, Hou Xiaoge emerged from the space. He didn't want the two of them to die so comfortably.

Using mental power to observe, one person had been crushed to death, and the other was in a coma, dying.

Hou Xiaoge put the rubble that hit the two people back into the space. He ignored the dead one and directly unzipped his pants to pour water on the unconscious one to wake him up.

"Ouch!" The dog opened his eyes with blood on his face and wailed softly.

After waking up from the coma, Gouzi felt uncomfortable all over, especially in his legs and chest, which felt like being pricked by needles.

"Tell me! Who are you and who asked you to chase me?" Hou Xiaoge asked while holding a knife to Gou Zi's neck.

"Little, please spare my life." The dog looked terrified.

"Hmph! If I ask you a question, answer it quickly, or I'll smash your balls first." Hou Xiaoge said as he put the knife directly between the gouzi's legs.

"No, no, young master, I don't want to be a eunuch, I say." Gou Zi's face turned paler with fright, and he begged for mercy in a low voice.

"I'm from the Vicious Dog Gang in the city. Today, I was patrolling the streets with Brother Tietou. When I saw you being so generous, I became interested in you." Gouzi said weakly.

"Did no one really invite you here? Did you tell other people when you came?" Hou Xiaoge had a gloomy face. He didn't expect to offend the gangsters in the city.

"No, no, we were just patrolling the streets and were blinded and mistook me for a fat sheep.

Young master, I still have a 70-year-old mother to support, please don't kill me." Gouzi's eyes were full of pleading for life.

"Bang, bang!"

Hou Xiaoge kicked the dog on the head a few times and successfully knocked it unconscious again.

"Damn, your mother is still 70 years old, your family is very rich! Even in the years of famine, your mother could live to be 70 years old.

Humph! If you want to rob me, you must be prepared to die. If you are a gangster, I will not let you stay." Hou Xiaoge spat in Gouzi's face and started to lick the bag.

"Bah, two poor bastards, with less than a hundred yuan of French currency on them in total." Hou Xiaoge was very angry after searching a pile of Mao Zedong's banknotes from the two men.

After Hou Xiaoge walked out of the room, a pile of rubble fell from the sky and the two were buried again. With the yellow earth covering their faces, they died peacefully.
