Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

And so, the days passed one by one. Seven days and seven nights passed in total. The long journey seemed to have no end, but finally, the train slowly pulled into the Guangzhou train station and came to a steady stop after a heavy sigh.

He Yuzhu led the other two off the train and onto this unfamiliar land.

They were quickly taken to a simple but clean and tidy guesthouse by the people who came to meet them.

Here, they were able to rest and recharge. After a full day of rest, they boarded the train to Hong Kong again the next day.

After a long and arduous journey, the train continued its journey until it finally arrived at the Xiangjiang River. Although there was now a train that could take him directly to Kowloon on the Xiangjiang River, He Yuzhu still needed to sneak across the river himself.

As dusk settled, the dazzling lights reflected on the river, creating a shimmering, dreamlike scene. As arranged beforehand, the accompanying staff drove them to the riverbank that night.

“Once you cross this river, the bustling Hong Kong will be on the other side. However, I haven’t been given any orders to take you across the river; my task is simply to get you here,” the accompanying staff member said calmly.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, expressing his understanding and gratitude: "You've really worked hard. I'm so grateful for your care along the way."

The accompanying staff quickly waved their hands and smiled, saying, "It's no trouble at all! It's all part of my job, and it's my honor to be able to help."

After saying that, he seemed to realize what might happen next, so he tactfully took his leave.

After the accompanying personnel drove away and disappeared into the night, He Yuzhu made a decisive move and used his magical abilities to directly bring Du Guang and the grandfather and grandson into his spatial storage.

Chapter 420 Where did you hide my jade pendant?

Then, with a light touch of her toes, as nimble as a swallow, her figure shot forward like an arrow. The river was incredibly wide, like an insurmountable chasm, impossible to cross easily.

However, how could our intelligent and courageous He Yuzhu be defeated by such a predicament?

He had a brilliant plan in mind. Just as his figure was about to inevitably fall into the icy river, a miraculous scene unfolded: a wide and sturdy wooden plank suddenly appeared on the originally calm river surface.

As if grasping at a lifeline, He Yuzhu firmly placed his toes on the wooden plank. Using the plank for support, he quickly took a breath and soared into the air again like an eagle spreading its wings, his agile figure drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

After several thrilling and exciting transitions, He Yuzhu finally succeeded in flying across the wide river and landed steadily on the other side.

But the other side was not friendly; the shore was densely covered with sharp barbed wire, making it impossible to find a safe place to stand.

But for He Yuzhu, this was just another small challenge, and it didn't faze him at all.

He slightly adjusted his posture, using his toes to lightly leverage the hard barbed wire, and as if performing a martial arts feat, his body instantly soared into the air, seemingly transforming into a light and graceful phantom.

Then, with astonishing speed and strength, he leaped over the seemingly impenetrable barbed wire and landed steadily on the shore.

Just as he landed, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out, its piercing sound echoing through the air. At the same time, shouts came from afar, their tone revealing tension and alertness.

Clearly, their commotion had alerted the personnel responsible for defense. However, He Yuzhu remained unmoved. He knew that time was of the essence and that not a moment could be wasted. So he pushed off with his feet and rushed forward quickly, his steps firm and powerful, as if he wanted to crush all obstacles in his path.

After a few swift leaps, he shot away from that dangerous place like an arrow, disappearing into the distant mist.

In the blink of an eye, as swift as lightning, two people in neat uniforms hurried over with steady steps.

They intently and carefully examined their surroundings, their eyes as sharp as eagles, yet they found no signs of anything amiss.

One of them frowned and said doubtfully, "The barbed wire is perfectly intact, how can you say you saw someone?"

The other person scratched his head, looking incredulous, and muttered, "Could I really be seeing things?"

A person nearby immediately chimed in, "I think so. Could it be that after handing over the grain yesterday, his legs were too weak, so he was hallucinating?"

The person being teased immediately blushed and retorted loudly, "Come on, how could my legs go weak? You must have seen wrong!"

Seeing that there was nothing unusual around them, the two simply assumed that they had misjudged the situation and turned to leave together.

At this moment, He Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was chasing after him.

He carefully and slowly released the imposing jeep from the mysterious space, rescuing the two members of the Du family who were trapped inside.

Although this was not the first time he had experienced something so wonderful, each time it still filled him with a sense of wonder.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Is this really Hong Kong now?"

He Yuzhu nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, get in the car quickly, we'll go to your yard right away."

It turned out that they had already obtained crucial confessions and, using these clues, learned that Du Guanghe had purchased a small and cozy courtyard house in bustling Hong Kong. This courtyard house could now serve as their most reliable place to stay.

As they sat in the jeep, Du Guanghe felt uneasy and anxious.

As he was about to arrive at the courtyard that held the secret, he didn't know if he could still hold onto the secret buried deep in his heart.

Along the way, his thoughts were a jumbled mess, with various possible scenarios and consequences constantly flashing through his mind...

He Yuzhu drove the jeep slowly away from the original place and onto the wide road.

He parked the car and then took out the crumpled but incredibly familiar map from the glove compartment.

He carefully examined the intricate lines and markings on the map, first tapping the map lightly with his finger to confirm his current location. He breathed a sigh of relief and then turned the steering wheel without hesitation, speeding towards Shangshui.

Du Guanghe chose to buy the courtyard here not only because of its tranquil environment, but also because it is close to the border and has relatively convenient transportation.

Before long, the car finally came to a smooth stop on the side of the street in Sheung Shui.

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and first put the uniquely styled Jeep into his spatial storage. He knew that such vehicles, which were common on the mainland, were extremely rare in Hong Kong, and the license plate number did not comply with the regulations here. If it were discovered, there would be big trouble.

"Wait, the clothes of the three of us won't be right either, or we'll get arrested."

He Yuzhu said with a solemn expression, straightening his somewhat inappropriate coat with his hand, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Du Guanghe and Du Weixiang nodded in agreement, as everyone knew that violating the relevant regulations here would have unimaginable consequences.

Du Weixiang asked, "Isn't there a policy of resisting illegal immigrants? Hong Kong doesn't object to illegal immigrants from the mainland. As long as they can successfully land, they can register their information at the nearest police station and then successfully obtain an ID card."

Although the hostile policies would prevent him from being deported, He Yuzhu didn't want to deal with them now.

Hong Kong society now loves the darkness of Sukfan. If you come into direct contact with them, all your belongings will be ruthlessly taken away.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly. He wasn't too surprised by the situation, as it was quite reasonable.

He thought to himself that there were absolutely no clothes suitable for wearing in this mysterious space.

Although he is not short of money, he usually wears only those monotonous and boring work clothes.

He doesn't have overly demanding requirements when it comes to clothing; as long as the clothes don't look dirty, they're perfectly acceptable.

As for Du Weixiang, she had long been tired of the clothes she was wearing. They only had two or three colors on them, and the style was old and worn out. They were so ugly that she didn't want to wear them anymore.

At that moment, Du Weixiang suddenly suggested, "Why don't we secretly take a few sets of clothes? That way, we can fit in better."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu did not immediately refuse. He knew his current situation well and was not the kind of person who was stubborn and inflexible.

Soon, the three of them arrived outside the village, carefully climbed over into a courtyard, pried open the old door with tools, and quietly entered the house.

Next, the three of them began rummaging through the room, replacing their original plain-colored clothes one by one with brightly colored ones.

They knew that only by dressing like this would they look more like authentic Hong Kongers when they went out.

Of course, He Yuzhu didn't really intend to steal anything. Before leaving, he deliberately left behind a few silver dollars, enough for the homeowner to buy a brand new set of clothes. In this way, he met their immediate needs without causing too much trouble for others.

After leaving the slightly old but charming courtyard, I resolutely walked slowly forward.

The stone path beneath my feet seemed to tell the story of time, each step feeling like stepping on the pulse of history. Before long, several figures in uniform appeared in the distance, pacing back and forth on patrol.

He Yuzhu's sharp gaze swept across them like a hawk's, and before they could even notice, he quickly led the people beside him into a secluded alley.

Although he and the person next to him had successfully obtained Hong Kong identity cards, neither of them had them with them at the moment.

At this moment, a hint of helplessness appeared on Du Guanghe's wrinkled face, and he said softly:

"Why don't you remove the restrictions on us? It's so stifling to be hiding all day long."

It turned out that a mysterious restriction had been secretly placed on Du Guanghe, making him behave like an ordinary old man without any abnormalities.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Forget it, it's safer to put it in the space."

With that, he waved his hand lightly, and a strange power enveloped the two of them. Then, as if they had vanished in an instant, they were taken into that mysterious and unpredictable space.

Then, He Yuzhu stretched out his body like a nimble bird, leaped up, and landed steadily on the roof.

He carefully walked forward along the high, raised roof ridge, his steps light and nimble, as if afraid of making the slightest sound.

Sometimes using the walls for support, sometimes leaping directly over distances, they disdain walking on the wide, flat roads and instead choose a unique way to jump directly onto the adjacent houses.

After traveling in this manner for some time, he finally stopped and slowly released Du Weixiang from the space.

Du Weixiang's slightly bewildered eyes momentarily glazed over upon being exposed to the outside light. Once she came to her senses, she began to carefully discern her surroundings.

With her keen senses and familiarity with the area, it wasn't long before they arrived at a courtyard that seemed quite unfamiliar yet subtly exuded a sense of familiarity.

He Yuzhu took a deep breath, a fleeting glint in his eyes, and then waved his hand, releasing Du Guanghe from the space.

When Du Guanghe's weathered body stood on the ground again, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes at first, and then the floodgates of memory seemed to be suddenly opened.

Looking at the familiar courtyard before him, an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart. Finally, his legs gave way and he sat down on the ground with a thud, as if all his fatigue and pressure had been released at this moment.

Even in this desperate situation, you still have no intention of revealing the truth?

Du Guanghe's face was full of struggle and helplessness, and his voice trembled slightly as he said, "I...I really don't know where to begin."

Du Guanghe sighed heavily, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Although the man in front of her was nominally her granddaughter's husband, she thought of her poor granddaughter, whose situation in her husband's family was not even as good as that of a concubine. How could she still have the face to act as an elder?

"If it weren't for my feelings for Xiao Xiang, I would have killed you on the spot long ago. Why would I have spared your life and left you to linger here?"

"I...I'll tell you right now. I'll make sure to explain everything clearly." He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"That's more like it. Hurry up and retrieve that crucial item," He Yuzhu coldly ordered.

Upon hearing this, Du Guanghe finally made up his mind. Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly got up and walked towards where the item was stored. Before long, he carefully retrieved the item.
