Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Xu Damao looked at Yi Zhonghai and said seriously, "I'll tell you the truth. After I learned that Zhang Yungui was a hero who killed the Japanese invaders and traitors, I, Xu Damao, took out all the special medicines I bought from the black market with small yellow croakers without saying a word and gave them to him."

Yi Zhonghai was surprised and asked, "What? You actually have such a precious medicine?"

Xu Damao nodded proudly: "Yes, but fortunately he was saved in the end. Otherwise, he would definitely not survive after being stabbed. So, we must keep this matter secret and never let anyone know."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said worriedly: "But what if he is really a KMT spy? Once discovered, it will not only cause trouble for Zhang Yungui, but also may implicate us."

Xu Damao thought for a moment and suggested: “If you are really worried about him, you can go to the hospital to see him as a relative. But don’t reveal my guess, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.”

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said helplessly: "Alas, Damao, what you said makes sense. It is well-founded. No matter how you look at it, Zhang Yungui is a Kuomintang spy. If this is discovered in the future, what should my cousin's daughter do? Alas..."

Xu Damao comforted him, "Uncle, as long as we keep it a secret, nothing should happen. Heaven and earth know, you and I know. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, only the two of us know about this. Who can find out?"

"Yeah, you can't drink too much with Uncle Three in the future. You have to be careful. I noticed that you have been getting closer to Teacher Yan recently." Yi Zhonghai reminded seriously.

"Yes, yes, yes. Teacher Yan is also responsible for catching enemy spies. You must not drink too much in the future! Let's just keep this matter to ourselves." Xu Damao immediately nodded in agreement, a look of nervousness on his face.

"My cheap cousin is in the village. From what you said, he's not doing well. I guess he can't pay back the medicine you exchanged for small yellow croaker on the black market. Well, he is my distant relative after all. I will give you some money when the time comes. I can't let you, Damao, suffer any loss." Yi Zhonghai said in a firm tone.

"Hey! Uncle, what are you talking about? Do you look down on me, Xu Damao? Although I am young, everyone in the compound thinks I am a scoundrel. But I still know what righteousness is! Uncle Zhang Yungui killed many Japanese traitors. It is my honor to save his life with a small yellow croaker!"

Xu Damao said excitedly, his eyes sparkling, as if he didn't care about that little yellow croaker. His acting was quite explosive!

Yi Zhonghai was slightly stunned, a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xu Damao, who usually seemed unwilling to suffer any loss, actually had such a righteous side. He nodded and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder to show his approval.

"Okay! I misjudged you before! Now that you said so, I won't waste any more words. If you need any help in the future, just come to me." Yi Zhonghai said gently.

"Thank you very much, uncle!"

The two men ate and talked, time passed quickly, and the meal was soon finished. Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai left the stall, and then came to the entrance of the steel rolling mill together, and finally went their separate ways.

"Phew! This matter has come to an end. There shouldn't be any problem. Yi Zhonghai might still doubt me, but I'm only 19 years old. In his eyes, I'm considered a youngster, a bit of a greenhorn. I guess he'll keep an eye on me in the future. I have to be more careful in the future."

Xu Damao let out a long breath, adjusted his mentality, and felt a lot more relaxed. Then he walked towards the Propaganda Department with brisk steps.

"Da Mao is here. It's a bit early today."

"Hey, now I'm awake and can't fall asleep. I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well come early. If the place I'm going to today is far, I can leave earlier."

With a smile on his face, Xu Damao responded to Brother Zhao's greeting enthusiastically. Then he parked his bicycle in the shed, took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out a Daqianmen cigarette and handed it to the other party.

"You are right. The place we are going to today is indeed quite far. We are going to Longnv's Temple. Let's set off early. I will tell you the specific location."

Brother Zhao pointed at the map and continued, "Take this road when you leave the city, and keep going. Turn here at the fork in the road, and keep going until you get here. Then just ask any locals and you'll know."

Brother Zhao pointed on the map with one hand while explaining to Xu Damao. Finally, he added: "By the way, remember to ask a few more fellow villagers. They are very enthusiastic and will definitely tell you how to get there."

"Okay, thank you Brother Zhao for your advice. The journey is long, so I'll leave now. The sooner you leave, the sooner you can rest, hehe!"

"Okay, let's go, I'll help you load the equipment into the car..."

"Da Mao left so early? Where is the screening going today?"

As usual, the comrades from the gate security department lifted the tarpaulin on the back seat of the bicycle to check.

"Longnv'e, it's far, more than a hundred miles. We have to leave early, otherwise we won't be able to complete the mission."

Xu Damao said casually, handing over two cigarettes.

"Oh, then you have to leave early."

The comrade from the security department didn't know where Long Nuqi was either. He took the cigarette and said something casually, then waved to Xu Damao to let her go.

……

Heaven loves the earth, and the earth loves heaven.

Monks love temples and nuns love nunneries.

There is a mountain after each one you climb.

Walking up one ridge after another, the ridges are connected.

I can't see the man after I pass the mountain.

When I crossed the river, I couldn't see the boat.

Hey! I am three thousand miles away in a cloud.

The three clouds total nine thousand.

There are several exhibitions in Yuntou.

Came to Xijing, the ancient city of Chang'an hey hey - hey -

Xu Damao happily hummed an off-tune tune, then he pushed hard on his feet and quickly rode his bicycle away from the city.

The biting cold wind blew on Xu Damao's face like a knife, but he didn't care. He just put down the two earmuffs of his hat and put on the windproof mask bought from the black market.

After riding for more than an hour, Xu Damao stopped to check the map and was surprised to find that the destination, Longnüqiao, would pass by the village where Zhao Fangfang lived.

"Hehe, I have to be busy tonight. I don't know if Sister Fang is cold or not. Whether I need to warm her bed!" Xu Damao was secretly happy.

Thinking of Zhao Fangfang's charming face and hot body, Xu Damao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Next, Sister Fang’s slender waist and long legs kept flashing in his mind, making him suddenly feel full of strength.

He pedaled harder, and the bike accelerated, speeding along the country road.
