"Alright, I'll bring you over again tomorrow."
"No need, brother. Sister Qiuyan said she'll walk with me after school."
He Yuzhu asked around and found out that Hong Qiuyan also attended Hongxing Elementary School, which was near the preschool. The two children could go home together after school.
He Yuzhu was relieved. There were very few cars on the road at this time; most of the vehicles were pulled by animals. As long as they stayed along the side of the road, there would be no problem.
The next day, He Yuzhu deliberately talked to Wang Song about Zhang Yong. Wang Song was also very angry with him because he didn't teach him the techniques and liked to scold Wang Song every day.
He Yuzhu was the only helper left to make cold dishes.
After chatting for a while, once Wang Song had vented his anger, He Yu intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Wang Song and Zhang Yong's whereabouts.
Wang Song only knew that Zhang Yong lived in a hutong near Dashilan, but he didn't know which household it was.
They were already very happy to receive the news, so they didn't ask any more questions. The two of them scolded Zhang Yong, which actually strengthened their friendship and turned them into good buddies.
After getting off work, He Yuzhu went back to pick up He Yushui first, and only after confirming that she and Hong Jinling were going back to the Hong family home did he return to the courtyard house.
The house changes every day. The walls inside were built in just one day. All that's needed is another day to plaster the mud walls.
After dinner, He Yuzhu went to pick up He Yushui, but He Yushui had already gotten to know Hong Jinling well and didn't want to go back to the courtyard house. The two wanted to sleep together.
The teacher's wife said, "I always said that Yushui and Jinyan would get along well, so you don't need to worry about it. Why don't you stay with us too, so you don't have to travel back and forth?"
"No need, Master's wife, I still have to take care of the family."
After leaving his master's house, He Yuzhu arrived at the Shichahai Lake. Although it is called the sea, this area is actually six lakes.
From north to south, they are the West Sea, Back Sea, Front Sea, North Sea, Central Sea, and South Sea.
The entire Beihai area has been enclosed to form Beihai Park, while fishing is not prohibited for ordinary people in the other lakes.
He Yuzhu caught quite a few fish along the way, and then walked to Dashilan.
They quickly found the alley that Wang Song had mentioned.
For an ordinary person, this is the best they can do. They would have to wait until daytime to inquire about the specific address of their neighbor, Zhang Yong.
But He Yuzhu had his own way of easily finding Zhang Yong.
The alleys in Dashilan are winding and the roads are not straight at all, which makes it easier for He Yuzhu to check.
Unleash your mental energy and start scanning from the first one.
Holy crap, this is so offensive!
Despite all my calculations, I never expected to see a live broadcast on the very first site.
If she were prettier, it would be fine, but she's incredibly ugly, and she's over 30 years old. We just ate, how could anyone bring themselves to do that?
The noise was incredibly loud; the child in the next room was still awake, burying his head in his pillow, enduring the cacophony of the loud sounds.
He Yuzhu quickly severed the mental connection and then inquired about the second house.
Fortunately, the second couple didn't cause any trouble. They were cuddling and whispering sweet nothings, but unfortunately, it wasn't Zhang Yong.
They checked house by house, all the way to the depths of the alley, and even after they had finished checking everything, they still hadn't found Zhang Yong's house.
Using her mental energy again, she found that there was no male protagonist in the house, but a woman who looked like she had been married before. She was quite attractive and was lying on the head of the bed with her eyes closed, humming a little tune, her knees spread apart, practicing digging. She was so tired that she was covered in sweat and her cheeks were flushed.
He Yuzhu silently apologized, realizing this was not the outcome he had desired.
Chapter 62 Discovers an Enemy Agent
He hurriedly went to check the next house, and when he arrived at the last house, the couple was arguing on the bedside, so He Yuzhu didn't check it further.
Looking up, they realized they had reached the deepest part of the alley. Why couldn't they find Zhang Yong's house? Had Wang Song remembered it wrong?
Just as He Yuzhu was about to leave, he suddenly thought of a house—the one where only the woman of the house was lying on the bed, performing digging and digging.
The other households included both the elderly and the young, and almost all the couples were present. Even if the male head of the household was not there, the female head of the household's age did not match.
The only one whose age matches is that alluring young woman.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. It's still under military control now, and He Yuzhu is afraid of running into bad guys when he goes out at night, so he comes earlier. Right now, Zhang Yong probably hasn't gotten off work yet, and only his wife is at home.
Is it enough to just check it again?
When I released my spiritual energy just now, I only checked the people inside the room and didn't check the surrounding environment. I happened to see the exciting performance, so I didn't watch it for long.
Walking back through the alley, I arrived at the young woman's house and used my spiritual power to check her again.
The young woman had already washed herself and was lying on the bed, seemingly asleep. The room was dimly lit under the kerosene lamp.
The house wasn't big, but it was quite tidy. The vegetable cabinet had chicken, fish, meat, and eggs, and you could quickly tell from the clothes in the wardrobe that this was Zhang Yong's home.
Now that we've found the real culprit, things will be much easier. After some time has passed and the conflict between us has subsided, I'll figure out a way to put a sack over Zhang Yong's head and beat him up to vent my anger.
Although he managed to pass the test through his own abilities, his hatred for Zhang Yong did not lessen much.
She had finally found a mentor who cared for and loved her, but Zhang Yong almost ruined everything.
He had a random thought in his mind to check Zhang Yong's house, which terrified He Yuzhu.
There was a cloth bag under the bed board, inside which was a box gun and some bullets.
Before liberation, there were many scattered soldiers and vagrants, and a lot of guns were left in the countryside. Only two or three years have passed, and there are still a large number of guns and ammunition stored up in the city.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problem with finding a box gun; many people would keep some for self-defense.
But in the corner of the wall, there was a hidden compartment containing a cloth bag with gold bars and silver dollars, as well as a small diary.
If it were anyone else, they would never have discovered this hidden compartment, and even if they knew there were people inside the house, they would never have taken the items out.
However, none of this mattered to He Yuzhu. With a wave of his hand, the diary disappeared from the hidden compartment and then appeared directly in He Yuzhu's hand.
Although He Yuzhu had suspected something for a while, he was still shocked when he opened the diary.
There were two columns listed in the diary.
The first part is a code word, and the second part is an explanation of its meaning.
Having a gun and money at home is one thing, many families have that, but this diary is what really horrified He Yuzhu.
Two months have passed since I transmigrated to this world, and catching enemy spies has become a common occurrence in my daily life.
If it weren't for this reason, the management committee wouldn't have implemented the system of having elderly people manage the courtyards.
Even during the day, we can often hear noises now, and the only time we can use firearms is when we're catching enemy agents.
I've seen this kind of thing a lot in TV dramas, but when the real evidence appeared in He Yuzhu's hands, he was so scared that his hands started to tremble.
He was surprised to find a pistol and a codebook in Zhang Yong's house, realizing how close he had come to enemy agents.
Could Zhang Yong be that enemy agent?
He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then his hands trembled as he could hardly believe the result he was seeing.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then used his mental energy to send the diary back into the hidden compartment.
"Scared me."
He Yuzhu patted his chest and hurriedly walked out of the alley.
I rushed back to the courtyard house and lay on the bed, my mind racing with all sorts of wild thoughts.
He Yuzhu, who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, never imagined that he would be so close to enemy agents.
It seems that the recent plans to retaliate against Zhang Yong will have to be abandoned.
However, He Yuzhu was very unwilling. Being bullied by others and not fighting back or talking back was not in his nature.
He quickly made up his mind to bring Zhang Yong to justice. He couldn't personally investigate and arrest him, but he could report him.
The next morning, He Yuzhu got up early to tidy up. Today was the last day, and the house could be repaired by tonight.
Aunt Yi stood under the eaves and asked, "Zhu Zi, where's Yu Shui? I didn't see her this morning."
“I sent him to my relatives’ house,” He Yuzhu said casually.
"You don't have any relatives in the city, so you went to the countryside?"
"Pretty much, anyway, I can't sell her."
He Yuzhu didn't want to say more, nor did he want to go into too much detail, so he turned around and went into the house.
Aunt Yi was a little angry: "Hey, what's wrong with Zhu Zi today? Did he eat gunpowder?"
"Why do you care so much? You think you can really sell rainwater?" Yi Zhonghai said with some disdain as he came out of the house.
"I'm just worried that it might be unfair for him, a boy, to take care of his little sister."
Aunt Yi said with some concern, "Don't you think the rainwater will be mistreated when it's sent to the countryside?"
"His father doesn't care, his brother doesn't care, why are you worrying so much?" Yi Zhonghai said irritably, "Zhu Zi has plenty of money, so don't ask."
"Sigh, I'm just worried about the light rain."
He Yuzhu packed up and left home, quickly arriving outside the management committee.
I don't know many people, except for Director Li Changying of the Management Committee and Tian Zao, an activist from this street.
Upon arriving at the gatehouse, He Yuzhu asked, "Sir, is Director Li at work yet?"
"Not yet." The old man, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and wearing reading glasses, was looking down at the newspaper.
