Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Early the next morning, Lin Baoyan got up and went downstairs, where she met a young woman.

"Hello, Comrade Lin Baoyan, my name is Lu Yan, and I am your guard. From now on, I will accompany you when you go out."

Lin Baoyan's face was blank, and after a long while she whispered, "I, do I need a guard when I go out? No, I'm just a nobody, there's no need for such a big fuss."

She remembered something and said, "Where are the Wuzhis? Do the Wuzhis have guards too?"

Lu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, Comrade Wu Zhi also has it."

Lin Baoyan stopped talking. Since they all had it, there was no problem.

"Breakfast is ready, do you want to eat now?"

When Lin Baoyan finished washing up, Lu Yan reminded her: "Next, you still have a lot of things to deal with."

Without asking what was going on, Lin Baoyan followed Lu Yan to eat.

After finishing the meal, she asked, "Where's Wu Zhi? When does he usually get up?"

Lu Yan said without changing her expression, "I have just been transferred, so I am not very clear about other people's schedules."

At around 7 o'clock, two more men in Zhongshan suits came and introduced themselves as clerical staff from Transport Department 9. They came to process Lin Baoyan's formalities and arrange her future life and study matters.

"Don't I have to work?" Lin Baoyan asked blankly, "I'm here, don't I have to work?"

A man in a Zhongshan suit said with a smile: "We are not some stinking capitalists who exploit workers. How could we allow a child as young as you to be a child laborer?"

Another man in a Zhongshan suit also said with a smile: "You haven't even finished junior high school yet. If you want to work, you have to wait until you finish school. Letting you live here now is also for your safety."

Lin Baoyan was stunned. If she had known that the organization was so lenient towards people like them, why had she worked so hard to hide it over the years?

Anyway, Lin Baoyan was confused all morning. She followed two men in Zhongshan suits to get a travel permit, and then received a full set of daily necessities, textbooks and homework for all subjects. Then she was taken to a small room and studied under the supervision of different teachers.

By the time the get out of class was over at noon and she was preparing to eat, Lin Baoyan felt exhausted and at the same time she despised herself for being blind in the morning.

Wu Zhi, who was already sitting at the dinner table, looked at her and burst out laughing: "Hey, Sister Lin, what's wrong with you? You look like you're dehydrated."

Lin Baoyan looked at him lifelessly, crossed her arms, rested her chin on them, lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Tsk tsk, this is only the first day. There are still many days to come. You must work hard and try to finish your homework as soon as possible so that you can get rid of this miserable life as soon as possible."

Lin Baoyan simply buried her head in her arms, not wanting to listen to Wu Zhi's nonsense. If she really listened to him and worked hard to finish her studies as soon as possible, she believed that she would definitely be able to work immediately.

She is not an elementary school kid who has never been in society. She doesn't understand these twists and turns. She is not smart to begin with. Isn't it normal for her to learn slowly? Anyway, the big boss said that children should behave like children. What's wrong with her learning slowly?

In the afternoon, Lin Baoyan did not continue her courses, but went to a large training room with Lu Yan.

A coach waiting in the training room said seriously, "Comrade Lin, today we are going to test your physical fitness and other parameters. After we arrange your training plan according to your data, you need to come here to train at this time every day. If there are other arrangements, we will notify you in advance."

Lin Baoyan looked at the simple but comprehensive training equipment in the training room and felt her legs trembling before she even started training.

In the afternoon, she was carried back to the villa by Lu Yan like a dead dog. When she saw Wu Zhi drinking tea and eating cake, she almost collapsed.

"Were you trained like this before? Don't you need training anymore?"

"Of course, otherwise, how could I have this muscular body now? Look at my biceps! Aren't they beautiful?"

Wu straightened his chest, stretched out his right hand, raised his forearm into a fist, and a firm muscle emerged from his upper arm. He pinched the muscle with his left hand, his face full of pride: "My training results are all A's. My skills are already good enough to compete with the best soldiers, so now I just need to maintain this state."

Lin Baoyan looked at Wu Zhi suspiciously: "You, do you think you can fight against the King of Soldiers? You don't have to brag so much, I don't understand these things anyway."

Wu Zhi sneered: "Good skills can increase the chances of survival. How can I brag about such a thing?"

Lin Baoyan asked in panic: "Do I have to practice to this level too?"

Wu Zhi put down his arms and chuckled: "If you had Xiao Li's brain, you wouldn't need to exercise like this. He's comfortable now and only needs to do experiments in the laboratory."

Lin Baoyan's shoulders slumped. Her brain wasn't working and she simply couldn't do it.

In the evening, Director Liu came again.

Lin Baoyan greeted Director Liu dejectedly: "Good evening, Director Liu."

Director Liu smiled and said, "Good evening, Xiaolin. What's wrong with you? Are you tired from today's training? Do you want me to reduce the amount of training?"

Lin Baoyan wanted to nod, but after remembering what Wu Zhi said about good skills increasing the chances of survival, she gritted her teeth and shook her head and said, "No, I feel great, no need to reduce my weight."

Behind her, Wu Zhi raised his head to look at the ceiling and clenched his teeth to avoid being discovered by laughing out loud.

Director Liu still had that smile on his face, and his eyes didn't even wander towards Wu Zhi. He continued to ask her, "So, do you think today's class schedule is okay? Do you need to make any adjustments?"

Thinking of Xiao Li who was doing experiments in the laboratory and whom Wu Zhi mentioned, Lin Baoyan shook her head rapidly, fearing that Director Liu would give her more homework as soon as he opened his mouth. Her brain was really not enough and she was not a good material for school.

Director Liu sighed with regret, and then said to Lin Baoyan in a serious tone: "Comrade Lin Baoyan, I am here to talk to you today on behalf of the organization."

Lin Baoyan stood up straight involuntarily: "Okay."

Director Liu took Lin Baoyan into the conference room on the first floor, and they sat opposite each other.

"First of all, welcome Comrade Lin Baoyan to join our organization. From now on, we are a family." Director Liu said with a smile.

Lin Baoyan nodded and said, "I am also very happy to join the organization."

"Can you tell me about your time traveler benefits? Is it a plantable space? How big is it? Can time be accelerated? Is there storage space inside?"

Although Lin Baoyan was a little surprised, she was not surprised that Director Liu would ask these questions. There were already two time travelers, so could these things still be secrets?

She replied, "Yes, my benefit as a time traveler is a space for planting, about 25 or 6 acres, and it's just an ordinary space. Except for the fact that it is kept at or degrees all year round, everything else is similar to the outside world. It can't keep things fresh, it can't speed up, and there's no mental control of one-click sowing and harvesting."

Hearing this, Director Liu couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but it was already rare for this time traveler to have fourteen or fifteen acres of planting space, and he couldn't ask for anything more.
