Li He woke up the next day to find the courtyard filled with thread-bound books, tables, chairs, old furniture, porcelain jars, and even two foot-tall Buddha statues.
These weren't his collection in the basement, Old Man Lee must have gotten them from somewhere.
Li He went to the living room and saw four people eating breakfast.
Old Man Lee sat at the side and welcomed them warmly. He knew Old Yu, but he didn't know the other two.
One was wearing a monk's robe, bald, and skinny. His eyes were sunken in, and his skin was wrinkled. It was obvious that he was very old.
The other was a tall old man, but also skinny, with a goatee.
Seeing Li He come in, the few of them panicked.
"Don't worry, this is my nephew," Old Man Lee pulled the monk next to him back to his seat, and said to Li He proudly, "Look, the courtyard is full of good stuff."
In front of outsiders, Li He had tacitly accepted his kinship with Old Man Lee.
"Where did you get it from?" Li He asked, confused. He took the porridge from Fu Xia and took a steamed bun for himself.
"Girl, go cook a few more eggs, duck eggs are too salty, my throat is choking," seeing that Fu Xia went out obediently, Old Man Lee said, "Of course it's from the North Pole Temple. We used three handcarts, a No.3 bus, but it took us two trips to get it back."
The warehouse of the North Pole Temple was finally moved back by Old Man Li and a few other old fellows on a flatbed cart in the middle of the night.
Without anyone knowing, even Li He didn't know.
"What a pity," Old Yu said inexplicably.
"There's no pity. It's already not bad that we were able to pull so many back," the goatee beside him said.
Old Man Lee said, "This monk is the abbot of Big Bell Temple. He should be the former abbot. In the past, in the past, when I was a proper Lord Bei Lei, I would call him Uncle Bei. This Ma Ba is the walking dictionary of the Forbidden City. You can just call him Uncle Zhu. "
Li He greeted them politely. He muttered in his heart, "Where did these living immortals come from? My brain is a little short of capacity. What Lord Baylor? According to my age, I should be over 80 years old."
The monk laughed and said, "What Lord Bei Lei? Don't joke around. It won't be good if word gets out. I'll leave these two Buddha statues with you. When there's time, I'll arrange for someone to come and fetch them. “
Tyrant nodded his head and left immediately.
Li He politely sent the monk to the door. Other than thanking him, the monk did not say anything else.
Li He quickly bolted the door again.
When he entered the living room, he heard Old Man Lee say, "Ma Ba, do you want to leave your books with me for safekeeping?"
The goatee smiled in disdain. "Dream on. I'm leaving. I can still catch a nap when I get back. I've been through a long night."
The goatee man left as soon as he finished speaking.
"Sigh, don't forget to report the case to the police station on the way," Old Man Lee said.
The goatee man ignored him and continued to walk. In a few steps, he was out of the courtyard. Then, the door closed with a bang.
"Hurry up and bolt the door," Old Man Lee instructed Li He.
"Got it."
Li He looked at the things in the courtyard again. Many of the books had been chewed by bugs and rats. He casually picked up a copy of "Rainbow Water Series Book Summary". He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Luckily, only the corners were chewed, the words were still there.
"Back then, so many precious thread-bound books were piled on the road and burned for days and nights. The fire even melted the asphalt on the road …" Old Yu, who rarely spoke, actually said so many things at once.
Li He was silent and did not know what to say. He was also distressed. He could only console him, "It's been so many years. Let bygones be bygones. Humans should look forward and live happily." 【Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Say △ Net

Old Yu glared at him. "As long as we're alive, we can't let it go. Once it's in our hearts, we can't let it go."
Li He was speechless. He could only turn around and ask Old Man Lee, "Why are you in such a hurry? You …
Let Uncle Zhu report the case? "
Old Man Lee smiled as he caressed a plum vase. "If we want to do it secretly, we have to be fast. Let's put it this way. We paralyzed the people in the warehouse and stole it from the front door. "
"Knockout drug?" Li He asked excitedly. He had only heard of it, but had never seen it used in practice.
"You're still a college student. How can you believe in things from Water Margin? It's ether. Pour some into the window and make sure he won't wake up in 10 hours. It works on humans and dogs. " Old Man Lee continued to show off. "But it's not easy to get these things in the yard. Fortunately, there's a Hong Kong woman who messed things up this time."
Li He suddenly thought of a saying, "Fear nothing, but fear a cultured hooligan."
However, through Old Man Lee's description, Li He believed that the woman was most likely the Red Sandalwood King, Chen Lihua.
She bribed the management committee. Yesterday afternoon, she had taken a cart of red sandalwood and sent it to the furniture factory warehouse in Fengtai. It was filled to the brim with five items of a big house, and only a small corner was taken.
It was hard to tell if there were more or less items. This gave Old Man Lee and the others a chance.
The four of them had the same revolutionary goal and ideals. They sneaked into someone's warehouse in the middle of the night.
They used flashlights in the warehouse, picking and choosing, each taking what they needed.
The four of them got what they wanted, so of course they had to deal with the aftermath.
The man with the surname Zhu reported Chen Lihua in the name of the Forbidden City, not in the name of reselling cultural relics, but in the name of occupying public property.
Li He sucked in a breath of cold air. These old men were really ruthless.
No matter how many things were lost in the warehouse, it would be Chen Lihua's fault.
Li He felt that history was strange. He had unknowingly gotten himself involved in it, but he couldn't bear it. He asked carefully, "Is this too much?"
Old Yu said coldly, "He has a Hong Kong household registration."
Thinking about the Hong Kong policy of this period, Chen Lihua really had nothing to do with it.
The purpose of these old men was just to fish in troubled waters, to cover up the truth of the missing cultural relics in the warehouse.
When the Forbidden City intervened, they might just be able to take over the relics openly.
"Uncle Yu, what did you find? Let me take a look?"
Old Yu shook his head, "I didn't find anything."
Old Yu yawned and muttered to himself as he went back to sleep.
Old Man Lee drank a mouthful of water and said, "These things, although I didn't spend a single cent, they're all yours. Don't rush to speak, let me finish. I only have one condition. You're not allowed to sell anything before I die. I don't care what you do after I die. "
"How's your health recently? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "
"F * ck off, you want me to die so much. No way, I can live for at least another 20 years. "
Li He pouted, "20 years? I won't be interested in 20 years. Leave it to your son and daughter. "
Old Man Lee listened and didn't say anything. He lit his tobacco pipe, "Sigh, my son and daughter are just a thought, I don't know if I'll be able to see them. Besides, these things can only be given to the fated person, they can't be used as wealth for future generations. If I say I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you. "
Li He said embarrassedly, "No, Uncle Li, I've already taken advantage of you for that house. Do you believe that I'll sell it to ten times more in a few years?"
"I believe it even if it's a hundred times more. I just don't want to see those people wandering around in front of me every day. Even if I don't sell it to you, I'll give it to someone else."
Old Man Lee didn't say anything more and called out to Fu Xia, "Girl, I want to eat roast duck for lunch. Do you want to go to the Xu Fu Ji at the South Gate and help me buy a roast duck? There's a number five car at the entrance. It's under the South Gate. You can ask there. "
Fu Xia agreed crisply, took the basket and went out.
After waiting for Fu Xia to go out, Li He bolted the door and wiped the sweat on his forehead, "South Gate. It's less than four hours by bus. Don't even think about it. That's the suburbs. Where can I find a shop? "
Old Man Lee didn't listen to Li He, "Hurry up and open the basement and put the things in. It's inconvenient for that girl to come back."
When Li He was moving a cabinet, the drawer accidentally slid down, and all the jades and jadeites inside tumbled to the ground.
Old Man Lee whispered, "I'm telling you, slow down, slow down. That was a lucky thing. I pulled it out from a book box …"
All the furniture was still in the house in the front and back yards.
Books, jars, and porcelain were still in the basement.
When Old Man Lee and Li He finished moving all the things, it was already noon.
They were lying in the living room, blowing the ceiling fan to sweat.
At this time, Fu Xia came back with sweat all over her forehead. She said to Old Man Li in a sobbing tone, "Uncle, I walked around the Great South Gate a few times. Apart from the ground, there was nothing else. I didn't see the roast duck restaurant you mentioned."
Old Man Lee patted his head, "Oh, look at my memory. It's the South Gate. I'm sorry. Oh, hurry up and wipe your sweat."
After Fu Xia left, Old Man Lee sighed, "I saw the sweat on her forehead, but I didn't see the sweat on her neck."
