Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Tooth for Tooth
The eldest son of the Niu family, who was sleeping, didn't notice at all that there was an extra person in the room.
Snore, snore loudly.
After a few days, Ye Yu had become very familiar with Niu Da's room, including where he hid his money, in the medicine box and pencil case inside his clothes box.
It was quite a lot of money. A dozen big group tickets totaled over a hundred dollars, and there were also a lot of small changes, which added up to almost two hundred dollars.
This was a time when the average salary of workers in urban areas was only a dozen or twenty yuan, and many families could not save even a hundred yuan throughout the year, so two hundred yuan was really not a small amount.
There were about 60 or 70 tickets, most of which were industrial tickets. The three major items were a watch ticket and a sewing machine ticket. These tickets were valuable, but it was hard to explain their origins after buying them.
Oil coupons, soy sauce coupons, etc. were of no use to him, but he still accumulated a small stack of them. He only had a few sugar coupons, grain coupons, meat coupons, and non-staple food coupons left, and most of them were spent.
These bills had nothing to do with the Niu family; they were all stolen money. Ye Yu took the money without any hesitation, not leaving him a single penny or bill.
Throw it all into space.
It's not easy, her space finally has something valuable in this era.
Ye Yu stepped forward and chopped the man who was sleeping unconscious with a knife, blocked his mouth, wrapped him with an old quilt, carried him up and appeared outside the yard in an instant.
A person weighing about 100 pounds seemed to be weightless in her hands.

Not slower than a single person at all.
When passing the corner of an alley, he sneaked in, and when he came out, he had another person in his hand.
The place where this person hid the things was also not hidden enough, but Ye Yu had decades of experience in searching for supplies, so he easily found the target and took the money.
Maybe because this man distributed the money to his family members and did not have as much as Niu Da, Ye Yu did not search his entire house, which would be time-consuming and laborious. He just took what was in front of him.

In the 1960s, there were many wheat fields in the second ring of Yanjing City, and they had two bases here.
Ye Yu found one of the bases, tied up the two men's hands and feet with the hemp rope in the base, tied a fisherman's knot, and threw them together.
Then follow the same procedure to find other people.
Some people did not live in separate rooms. They were quietly taken away from their brothers and sisters who shared the same bed or kang. Some lived in high-rise buildings, where the small space was crowded with people.
During the whole process, space teleportation was used to the extreme, adrenaline was rushing, it was really thrilling.
It took Ye Yu an hour and a half to catch all of them. They gathered at the base and tied them up with ropes. Not enough ropes? Three or four people shared one.
At this time, some people had already woken up, but their mouths were blocked so they couldn't scream loudly. They struggled and howled. Regardless of whether they were awake or not, Ye Yu beat them all.
I didn't use my feet, I used my fists.
The main reason was that it was easier to control the force with a fist, and she had deliberately avoided their weak points. After fighting for so long in the apocalypse and practicing for so long, she had a deeper understanding of the human body, so no matter how bad the wound was, at least it wouldn't take their lives.
It's not that Ye Yu can't kill people once and for all without having to go through the trouble of catching them out of their homes. It's not that she can't do it. After all, to be honest, she has killed quite a few people in the end times. It's just that in a new era, she has to abide by some rules and maintain some bottom line. Most importantly, she doesn't want to destroy this relatively peaceful world.
These people don't deserve it!
Ye Yu was much more "gentle" in judging people than the men with red armbands. It was a bit chilly in late autumn, and after the beating, the old quilts on their bodies just kept them warm.
In addition, two gold hairpins, a pair of gold earrings, two gold bracelets, a pearl necklace and some silver ornaments were taken out from a pot of loot at the base and scattered on their bodies and on the ground.
She kept the rest of the loot.
Not only these things are in this base, there are also things in other bases. In total, there are three and a half tiers of gold, silver and jewelry, shining brightly.
Oh, there is another place.
There is a scrapyard near the outskirts of Sijiu City. This scrapyard is the main base of the gang led by Triangle Eyes. Due to the chaotic situation, they dare not take the treasures home and hide them all in a basement of this scrapyard.
The scrap yard is simply a perfect place. Not only can it be used to hide things, but also the valuable "waste" that is sent to the basement is picked out and sent to the basement, which makes the basement contain more and more things.
It is far from comparable to the three altars.
There are not only scattered gold, silver and jade ornaments, but also gold bars, gold bricks, as well as antiques such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and Guanyin statues, any one of which is worth a fortune.
Ye Yu has never known anything about antiques in his entire life, and no one is dealing with them in the apocalypse. The price of gold has not even recovered at the Hope Base, and it is not even as good as a big watermelon.
But now is not the end of the world, or it is still a few hundred years away from the end of the world.
These antique gold ornaments could guarantee her a wealthy and leisurely life after 10 years of chaos, and could be exchanged for more things she wanted. Moreover, the green jadeite, hairpin-shaped phoenix, etc. are indeed exquisite. Who doesn’t love beauty if conditions permit?
Ye Yu didn't stare at the group of people with triangular eyes.
Firstly, Triangle Eyes has a complicated background, and the place he lives is even more complicated. He also has guards patrolling at night. The time for these few people to keep an eye on him is not enough, and the time for a night of robbing is even less. We can only hope that Niu Da and the others can try to catch as many of the scabby ones as possible, which can be regarded as making good use of waste and getting rid of harm in the name of the country.
This evening's activities are over.
Accompanied by the starlight, Ye Yu returned to his own courtyard, replenished some energy, rinsed his mouth, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep soon.
zZZ~
The next day, Ye Yu got up late. When he woke up, Wang Lai Di had already prepared breakfast.
Perhaps because Ye Lan is worried about getting married and Ye Yu is about to leave, the quality of the meals has improved significantly recently.
Wang Lai Di gritted her teeth and bought a few bags of Fuqiang flour from the supply and marketing cooperative. Her breakfast these days includes not only sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and corn, but also fine grains and white flour.
In the morning, there are big soft white steamed buns to eat. Corn paste mixed with white flour is also delicious. You can also sell egg pancakes, vegetarian dumplings, and tofu steamed buns.
Really delicious.
It would be nice if there were big meat buns.
Unfortunately, since the black market was closed, there is only one way to buy raw meat. It is supplied at a fixed point at the end of each month, but it is not always available. Some people get up at three or four in the morning to buy meat, and by dawn the line is already from the entrance to the end of the alley. Those who get up late may depend on luck whether they can buy meat.
For the sake of food, Ye Yu was not afraid of getting up early, but the problem was that she would not stay until the end of the month, so she had no chance at all. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to get a few meals from Ye Xing and Ye Lan.
Ye Yu was munching on a white flour steamed bun with spicy and sour cabbage, thinking about meat, meat, meat, meat.
Before I finished my breakfast, I heard a noise coming from outside the yard. The noise became louder and louder, and I could hear the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt calling the name of the head of the Niu family.
Wang Lai Di put down her chopsticks: "So what? It seems like we are next door."
"It seems like someone is talking about Daniu? Daniu hangs out outside every day. Could it be that he has attracted the Little Red Soldiers again?" Ye Hongjun frowned. The eldest son of the Niu family was a thief when he was young, and he became a gangster when he grew up. What a pity that he wore a coat with a red armband, which made the people in the compound very worried.
But I don't dare to really offend such a jerk.
"It has nothing to do with us." Ye Yu said calmly while chewing a steamed bun.
Ye Baoguo and Ye Weiguo could not wait to go out with steamed buns in their mouths to watch the fun. Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidie would not let them go out. The two brothers could only look out from inside the house with their butts sticking out, uttering exclamations of surprise. Behind them, Ye Hongjun and his two children also followed to see. It turned out that eating spectators and watching the fun was in the nature of the Ye people.
They saw many strangers passing by the Ye family and heading towards the Niu family, and each of them looked very impressive.
"Hey, there are some guys in blue uniforms."
The Niu family had a really lively dinner. Although old lady Niu was old, her voice was still loud and clear, and her voice could be heard by the whole courtyard, revealing some information to some extent.
Several men in blue uniforms picked out several households in the courtyard and went to their homes one by one to inquire about certain matters, including the Ye family.
Facing the blue uniforms for the first time, Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidi were very reserved but also very cooperative. They said what they meant and even told them the story that Da Niu wet the bed when he was twelve years old.
Because they did not contact the big guys about the previously reported matter, they did not even mention this matter.
Ye Baoguo and Ye Weiguo were also chattering away. Ye Weiguo showed the least awe and more admiration. He admired the soldiers and the police. He jumped up and down and even tried to question the situation.
Ye Yu didn't talk much, but he would not connect this incident with a young girl under the age of 18. They initially speculated that this should be a crime committed by multiple people, targeting Da Niu and his gang rather than Da Niu alone.
After those people left with the Niu couple, more people came out of the house. There was also a crowd of onlookers in the next yard who were joining in the fun. They talked a little at a time and finally pieced together the whole story.
It turned out that something happened to the Niu family’s precious grandson!
"I heard that he was beaten up, and the local police came."
"I just saw him yesterday, just one night ago. How come he got beaten up?"
"He went out to do something sneaky at night. The Niu family is really careless. They didn't say a word when a big boy disappeared. Snakes and rats stick together. They must know what bad things Daniu is doing."
"Stop talking! Do you want to be scolded by Aunt Niu for a month?"
"You can curse them all you want! There's news from the street that Da Niu and his gang are in a terrible state. They were beaten black and blue, and their mouths were gagged with torn socks (nonsense) and thrown out in the wilderness. A passerby on a bicycle found them this morning. It is said that he was attracted by the glittering gold (?) all over the ground."
The person who said this paused deliberately, and as she wished, many gasps were heard.
"Gold?"
"Gold everywhere?"
"How much gold is there? Silver is fine, but I have never seen or touched gold in my life. Is it yellow? Is it harder than iron?"
"Oh my god, what are Daniu and the others doing?"
"You won't get beaten up by your fellow thieves, will you?"
"It may have something to do with the old landlords. They are black-hearted people..."
"Hmph! You are killing yourself by saying this."
Blah blah blah…
It was not until someone shouted, "Ah, we're almost late" that people started to react. Some went to work, some went to school, and the alley suddenly became much quieter.
But the rest of the people were still talking.
