The Siheyuan's Portable Herb Garden

Zhou Chen, reborn before the apocalypse, steals a cultivation expert's portable medicinal garden, then heads to the United States to loot for free. While collecting gold from a Federal Reserve vault, he is riddled with bullets by the security robots inside. When he opens his eyes again, his soul has transmigrated into the body of a boy living in Courtyard No. 95 on Nanluoguxiang in Beijing in 1944. In half a year, Zhou Chen cultivates the body-tempering art he obtained from the portable medicinal garden to its second level. After that, he roams between Beijing and Tianjin, killing Japanese invaders, hijacking trains, and intercepting supply shipments, while seizing the gold, jewelry, antiques, and books the invaders are looting in China. After Japan surrenders, Zhou Chen heads straight to Japan, slaughters the enemy commanders, and reclaims the wealth they stole. Back in China, Zhou Chen also helps Communist agents on several occasions. On the eve of Beijing's liberation, he intercepts the gold and jewelry that Kuomintang officials and local bullies plan to take with them as they flee. During the public-private partnership drive of 1956, Zhou Chen also takes a job as a worker at a state-owned factory. He had decided not to get involved in the courtyard's sordid affairs, but the sweetness and thoughtfulness of the young Yushui win his sympathy, and before he knows it, he is caught up in them.
