Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Thanks to his increasingly strong body, Chen Xu was only slightly out of breath after each round of boxing. After being purified by the space, this slight feeling of fatigue quickly disappeared.

Chen Xu continued to work hard until he had done it five times before he took a deep breath and ended today's training.

In fact, he could still hold on, but it was already late, and if he wanted to be healthy, he needed to go to bed early.

Chen Xu now maintains the habit of going to bed before 10 o'clock in the evening, and he doesn't feel cold when he comes out of the space. Although it is extremely cold outside now, he is no longer the same as before.

If he had this physique when he first came here, he would have been able to pin that idiot Zhu to the ground and beat him.

The only pity is that his height has not changed. A height of 1.75 meters is not considered short in the south, but it is obviously not tall in the north. Even Xu Damao is 1.8 meters tall, a few centimeters taller than him.

But he is not at the bottom. At least the others in the yard are not as tall as him or are shorter than him. This is also related to the current environment.

After all, in this era of per capita malnutrition, people are generally shorter than in the 21st century.

The steel rolling mill was very active and issued a notice indicating the time of the assessment less than a week after the start of work.

Chen Xu kept staring at the old man Yi Zhonghai, intending to play some dirty tricks on him.

Not to mention that he was looking for trouble, just based on the fact that this old guy had found fault with him several times and tried to accuse him, Chen Xu could not just sit and watch this old guy advance. If he wanted to live a peaceful and stable life in the courtyard, he had to suppress this old guy.

Chen Xu actually agreed with Xu Damao's original suggestion, but he didn't want to be with Xu Damao because if he came alone he could still hide, but with Xu Damao's presence the risk of being exposed would increase.

Moreover, his method is not suitable for Xu Damao to participate.

It was the evening before the steel mill assessment.

While Yi Zhonghai was going to the toilet outside the courtyard, Chen Xu dug a super deep earth pit on the way back for him.

His space can receive things, but it requires contact, which is not a problem for Chen Xu.

He touched the ground with his hands and sent all the soil underneath into space.

So, a five-meter-deep pit appeared without anyone noticing, which looked normal on the surface.

Chen Xu didn't believe that this old guy wouldn't get hurt after falling into such a deep pit.

As for falling to death, Chen Xu thought about it for a moment and then didn't care.

If you fall to death, you die. It's what you deserve.

He has never been a merciful person. Someone who will obviously cause trouble for you must be dealt with in advance. He was already showing mercy by not putting stones in the pit.

Of course, if stones were really used as a paving stone, it would be easy for people to discover traces of human intervention.

The current situation makes people curious about why a hole formed on the ground here.

But it’s not too strange. After all, there have been natural sinkholes before, and there have been unlucky people who drove their cars and fell into the sinkholes due to road collapse. We can only blame Yi Zhonghai for his bad luck.

It only took Chen Xu a few seconds to set the trap, and no one noticed at all.

As he expected.

Not long after Chen Xu returned to the backyard, he heard shouting from the front yard.

Yi Zhonghai fell directly into the pit. Although he fell badly, he was not dead and still had the strength to call for help.

When Chen Xu arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered around the big pit.

Chen Xu was among the crowd, looking at Yi Zhonghai lying at the bottom of the pit howling like a ghost, and he felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in his heart.

You deserve it for letting me be controlled by you.

Especially Yi Zhonghai's left hand which was obviously deformed. It was obvious that when the old guy fell, he instinctively chose to support himself with his hand, and it naturally broke.

Chen Xu had a blank expression on his face as he looked at the middle-aged lady and others who were crying and wailing around the pit.

It was obviously not easy to get the person out of such a deep pit. They had to wait until several public security comrades came and brought a long ladder from the police station to lift the person out.

Yi Zhonghai was sent to the hospital, and the people in the courtyard were still discussing how the pit was formed next to it.

Two public security comrades nearby were also carefully observing the pit.

"It should be formed naturally, with no signs of excavation."

One of the police officers said.

"There have indeed been cases like this before, and this pit is relatively shallow. The pit on the street was dozens of meters deep..."

Another police officer also agreed.

After all, it is easy to tell whether a hole is dug by humans.

Besides, this location is very busy, so there is no time for people to dig such a big hole here.

"That guy was unlucky. With so many people coming and going, he was the only one who fell in."

"Forget it. This is none of our business. If it's not man-made, there's no need to intervene. Let's notify the street office. This pit must be cleaned up. It would be bad if someone else falls into it."

Things developed exactly as Chen Xu had guessed.

Obviously, in the eyes of the police, if you encounter such a thing, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Xu Damao, who had been squatting with Chen Xu and watching the excitement for a long time, felt a little gloating.

"You say, is it possible that God dislikes this old guy Yi Zhonghai? He just happened to be sent to the hospital on the first day of the promotion."

"Who knows."

Chen Xu responded casually. He never believed that evildoers would be punished. God would never care about the good and evil in the world.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the saying that good people don’t live long, but evil people leave a legacy for thousands of years.

On the other hand, Jia Dongxu's face next to him looked as ugly as if his parents had died. He had wanted to accompany his master to the hospital, but was stopped by Jia Zhang, who said that if he went there it would only cause trouble, so it would be better for him to go to his master's house and pack some daily necessities to bring over.

After all, an old lady went to the hospital with me and she probably won’t be back today.

Of course, these are just excuses, and Jia Zhang still has her own intentions.

Who knows whether Yi Zhonghai has money on him. If he doesn’t have enough, his son will have to pay for it. He can wait in the courtyard for a while and then help get some daily necessities over. He can also say that he is worried that his master and his wife will be cold at night.

Isn't that the best of both worlds?

Jia Dongxu didn’t think too much about it. What the old lady said seemed to be correct, so he stayed.

On the contrary, Liu Haizhong, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, happily followed them to the hospital, saying that as the manager of the courtyard, he naturally needed to do his part.

As for whether it was a show in front of everyone, it’s hard to say.

After all, the second uncle has never let go of his smile since he found out that Yi Zhonghai fell into the pit...

After Liu Haizhong left, the only person in charge was Yan Bugui.

"Everyone go back and do what you need to do. Don't gather here. Don't accidentally fall in."

Yan Bugui asked the crowd to disperse. With public security comrades here, it was not convenient for others to stay for long, so the crowd gradually dispersed.

Chen Xu followed the crowd back to the courtyard. Xu Damao suggested going to his house to get some wine to celebrate, and Chen Xu did not refuse, feeling a little nostalgic.

Ever since Xu Damao failed to control his second brother and caused him to squander all the family fortune, the two of them haven't eaten out since.

"You go back first, I'll go home and get something."

"Oh, you have something else?"

"Yes, I brought it back from my hometown."

"That's great, hurry up, I'll get something else first..."

Xu Damao didn't doubt Chen Xu's words at all. After all, it was normal for purchasing goods to go to the countryside to help him get some things. He, a projectionist, could bring back some local specialties from time to time, so wouldn't it be even more convenient for Chen Xu, the buyer?
