Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Oh, then tell us about the major events that happened in recent years. You don't need to go into details, just tell us what everyone knows." Su Ting tapped the window sill with his hand and spoke in a flat tone.

"This... let me think, where should I start. There have been many major events in recent years. The most surprising thing is that the Liu family, which occupied most of the town, was liquidated. I heard that many skeletons of young women were dug out in their fourth room. The Public Security Bureau also dispatched the armed forces to investigate and found out that the eldest son of the fourth room was actually a Japanese and was not the heir of the fourth room at all. Those women were abducted and bought..." When Su Ting heard the word Japanese, his hands stopped moving and his facial expression became very ugly.

"The other thing is the rise of Lihua Village. I heard that Lihua Village is too remote. When the revolution was victorious and the reform was registered, no such village was discovered. This village is also very strange. No one came out to walk around until the county government discovered it and registered it. At that time, no one was willing to go to manage it, so the county sent a section chief to help them with the reform. I heard that they also elected village cadres through democratic voting. Who would have thought that a village that was looked down upon by everyone would turn around and become the richest village in the surrounding villages. However, I think they will be in trouble in the future. It seems that their soy sauce recipe has been favored by the newly emerged second-in-command of the Revolutionary Committee..." Yuan Zhe listened carefully and asked a few questions from time to time, but Su Ting seemed to be still immersed in the previous thing and had not come back to his senses.

When Su Ting and Yuan Zhe came out of the office, most people in the supply and marketing cooperative had already left. Yu Congcong and Xixi successfully bought two pieces of cotton cloth with a little oil on the corners, thanks to Yuan Zhe's disturbance just now. The good cotton cloths at the counter were all sold out, and since there were still so many people queuing, and they were afraid that someone would cause trouble again, they could only take the defective products out of the warehouse.

Yu Congcong and Xixi got a bargain. Not only did they not spend any cloth coupons, but even though the cloth had some flaws, they might be able to wash them out when they got home. Even if they couldn't, it didn't matter. They could just avoid the flawed parts when cutting the clothes.

Yu Congcong also bought some fruit-flavored candies for Yu Miaomiao, but unfortunately there were no White Rabbit candies, as they could only be found in the county. After buying them, the two led Yu Miaomiao out of the supply and marketing cooperative happily. It was still early, and Yu Congcong saw several people dragging a full cart of old furniture in one direction, and she immediately became curious. So she asked Xixi to lead Yu Miaomiao to wait at the mule cart, and Yu Miaomiao agreed very obediently with candies in her mouth.

Yu Congcong quietly followed several cars and came to the scrap yard. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that the scrap yard at this time was a treasure trove! The heroine in the book had never been to the scrap yard to look for treasures.

"Host, activate the off-line mission to protect the historical treasures."

"What? How can I protect this?" Yu Congcong muttered to herself, "Isn't this what an awesome heroine in a book should do? I, the most useless heroine in the world, am going to take this path? They have space, but I don't even have a room to store things. How can I complete the mission?"

"Host, don't worry. I can find a secret place for you to hide."

"The box, how do we take it out?" Yu Congcong was very depressed. There were people guarding this place. It was not as simple as opening the door and letting people take whatever they wanted.

"Host, please wait a moment. I'll check the external database for a good solution." The system's keyboard sound rang out. This system loves these fancy things. It obviously doesn't make any sound when checking data, but it insists on making such an external sound effect, and even says it has a sense of ritual. It really makes my mind suffer.

"Host, I found it. There is a simple trick here."

"Oh, put the data in my head."

Yu Congcong received the data, digested it for a while, and demonstrated it again in her mind, feeling a little incredible. She found a place nearby, put the cloth she just bought in a blind spot, adjusted it, and then observed the reactions of passers-by nearby, but no one noticed.

Yu Congcong felt relieved and walked into the scrap yard. An old man was sitting at the door, rocking leisurely on a recliner. Workers from several cars unloaded all the things on the cars into the open space in the yard. They left without stopping or saying hello to the old man. Yu Congcong walked up to the old man and called out a few times, but the old man ignored her. Yu Congcong walked in, but the old man stretched out his foot to stop her and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Uncle, are you selling the things in this scrap yard? I think some of them are still usable, so it won't be a waste if we continue to use them."

"Hey, you comrade, why did you think of coming here to buy things?"

"It's not that my family is poor. When I see someone carrying nice furniture here, I think it might be something that others don't want, so I'll see if I can buy it for a cheaper price and use it."

"Well, young comrade, you have good vision. You can choose it yourself! Otherwise, you will be taken away and burned tomorrow. But I have to tell you that some things are now labeled as capitalist-roaders. I will not be responsible if you take them away. I will not recognize any of your things or anyone once you leave this courtyard." The old man reminded.

Yu Congcong didn't expect the old man to be so straightforward, and instead felt a little uneasy.

Yu Congcong walked in nervously and asked the system in his mind: "Box, is there any danger?"

"Host, don't worry, there is none. This old man is so straightforward because he feels sorry for these things."

"Oh, all right."

"Host, hurry up and look, those big pieces of furniture are not good things. Look at the inconspicuous little pot next to it."

Yu Congcong picked up the small pot and looked around, but didn't find anything unusual. She asked in confusion, "Isn't this a small copper pot?"

"Host, look at the bottom of the pot."

Yu Congcong turned it over and saw a seal. She wiped it with her hand and could vaguely see the words "Qianlong". Yu Congcong's eyes widened. This was actually an antique, maybe even gold. She quickly put it in her bag. Yu Congcong became interested and forgot about the uneasiness in her heart. She started to act seriously, "Box, help me." She felt that her eyes could not see it, so she asked the system for help.

"Okay, host, there is a secret compartment on the table on your left, and there is an ancient book in the secret compartment." Yu Congcong followed the system's instructions and found it quickly.

"Host, tear off the newspaper on the back of the dressing table one meter in front of you. There is a small drawer with some jade jewelry inside."

Yu Congcong and the system were like little mice falling into a rice jar, constantly putting things into their bags. Looking at the bulging bag, Yu Congcong was a little troubled. It was so big that no matter how well it was hidden, it would be discovered.
