Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?

"This is just a prank. I don't believe anyone can predict an earthquake."

In a spacious room, a dozen elderly people sat together with serious expressions.

"I don't think this is a prank. Along with the letter, there are three large yellow croakers. Who would make such a joke?"

The person who was speaking was not tall, but every word he said was powerful and contained great pressure.

"Then what do you say we should do? Just because of such an unclear letter, we mobilize so many manpower and material resources? This is irresponsible to the country."

There were three different opinions in the meeting room. Some thought that this was just a prank, or even that it was sabotaged by enemy spies. They believed that they could not do as the letter said, otherwise the country would be put in a passive position.

Others believed that no one would make such a joke, and even enemy spies would not throw yellow croakers around for fun, because even if some preparations were made as stated in the letter, it would only waste manpower, and what Longguo lacked the least now was manpower.

Another small number of people remained silent. They felt that both sides had their reasons and they didn't know which side to support.

Just when everyone was arguing and no one could convince anyone else, the door of the conference room was opened and a tall figure was pushed in.

He ignored the quarrel and asked a difficult question: "Who sent this letter? Have you found out?"

The man spoke with great difficulty, enunciating each word one by one, but just these few words silenced everyone present.

At this time, one of the old men replied: "No, this letter seemed to appear suddenly, without any clues."

After Yan Jiekuang threw the letter into the city government, it was picked up the next day.

Looking at the big yellow croaker inside, the person who picked it up did not dare to be careless and immediately handed it over to the chief officer.

When the chief official finished reading the contents of the letter, he took a deep breath.

This matter was too big and he didn't dare to make the decision.

While passing the message to the highest level, police forces were mobilized to find out who sent the letter.

But three days passed and no clues were found.

Yan Jiekuang did it so cleanly that not even fingerprints were left.

The top leaders of the police department were severely criticized because of this incident.

The visitor thought for a moment before saying, "If we can't find out, then there's no need to investigate. We can't keep the entire Tang City awake at night. That would make too much noise. If the story is false, the people will be unstable, and that would give the spies an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Then follow what the letter says. Prepare first and mobilize personnel and materials in the surrounding area. If something really happens, you can rush to rescue as soon as possible. Then notify the chief official of Tang City and have all relevant personnel on standby overnight. If an earthquake really happens, send out a distress signal immediately."

"The country serves the people, and we cannot risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people just because we are afraid of wasting some manpower."

The visitor said a lot in one breath. After he finished speaking, he seemed to have used up all his strength. He waved his hand and asked the medical staff behind him to push the wheelchair away.

"I think he is right. We cannot gamble with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people." It was the short old man who spoke. His tone was firm and unquestionable.

Soon the opinions in the meeting room were unified, and orders were passed down from the top.

The power of the Dragon Kingdom is strong. The soldiers around Tang City are all ready and can rush to the battlefield at any time with just a command.

The matter came to an end, but it had nothing to do with Yan Jiekuang anymore.

Now he goes to get off work and comes home every day, and plays with his nephew. His life is quite comfortable.

Yan Jiekuang thought that he would not have any troubles recently, but today, Zhang Jianshe suddenly came to the courtyard to find him.

Over the years, he would go to Zhangjiazhuang to visit his master and brothers every once in a while and collect some supplies, but Zhang Jianshe had never taken the initiative to come to the courtyard.

Yan Jiekuang knew that he must have come here for something.

"Brother, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Jianshe looked at Yan Jiekuang, hesitating and unable to speak.

Yan Jiekuang looked at him and immediately became nervous. He asked nervously, "Did Master or Master's wife get into trouble?"

He had been worried about something some time ago, and hadn't been to Zhangjiazhuang for a long time. He had been planning to go back after the earthquake.

Seeing Yan Jiekuang's anxious look, Zhang Jianshe quickly explained: "No, uncle and aunt are in good health, you don't have to worry."

"I came here this time to borrow some money from you."

When Yan Jiekuang heard that it was just a loan, he felt relieved instantly. For him, money was not a problem.

But it felt wrong. After so many years of contact, Yan Jiekuang naturally understood what kind of person the other person was.

This is a man of integrity and a retired soldier. He would not ask for help from others unless he encountered something serious.

"Brother, money is not a problem, but you have to tell me the truth, is there any problem at home?"

Ever since Yan Jiekuang started purchasing supplies in Zhangjiazhuang, Zhang Jianshe has made a lot of money with his hunting skills.

Even if they had to share it with the village, their family's life would be much better.

His mother's health also recovered, and in 71 he married a beautiful girl from the next village.

In the past few years, she gave birth to two children for him, a boy and a girl. It can be said that his life is almost complete.

Seeing Yan Jiekuang's questioning, Zhang Jianshe could only tell the truth: "My mother suddenly fainted some time ago, and then I took her to the hospital. The doctor said that there was a problem with her heart and she needed a bypass surgery."

As Zhang Jianshe spoke, tears welled up in his eyes and his eyes turned red.

"The surgery is very expensive, almost 10,000 yuan."

"The whole village pooled together 1,000 yuan, and we also borrowed some from our former comrades. When the army leaders found out, they also contributed a lot."

"But all the money added up is only over 6,000, and I'm still short of 4,000. I really have no choice but to come to you."

"It's okay if you don't have it, I'll just think of other ways."

After listening to Zhang Jianshe's story, Yan Jiekuang immediately became anxious and pointed at his nose and cursed: "You don't treat me as a relative. After such a big thing happened, you only remembered me and waited here!"

Yan Jiekuang ran out after he finished speaking, without paying any attention to Zhang Jianshe's expression. He was really angry.

After he traveled through time, the first person to treat him kindly was not the Yan family, but Zhang Jianshe.

Not only did he save him, he also persuaded Zhang Yuanshan to teach him martial arts, and all the supplies in Zhangjiazhuang were given to him to carry out the task.

Therefore, in Yan Jiekuang's heart, he had long regarded Zhang Yuanshan as his father and Zhang Jianshe as his brother. Even the people of Zhangjiazhuang had a special place in his heart.

He went to the bank and withdrew four thousand yuan, then hurried to the courtyard. On the way, he still felt that four thousand yuan was not safe, so he withdrew another two thousand yuan from the space.

After returning home, he didn't say much to Zhang Jianshe and dragged him to the hospital.

On the way, he handed the money to the other party: "This is 6,000 yuan. If it's not enough, I will find another way. I must cure Auntie's illness."

At this time, Zhang Jianshe felt mixed emotions and he didn't know how to express his gratitude to Yan Jiekuang.

I can only swear secretly in my heart: I owe you a life in this life!
