Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Because the second uncle chose to hold the wedding banquet on Sunday, most of the residents of the courtyard were in the courtyard.

When I came back, I could still hear everyone talking about what happened at the wedding banquet. The protagonists were naturally Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu.

In a sense, Sha Zhu is now like a person who has too many lice on his body and is not afraid of the itch. Anyway, his reputation is long gone, so it doesn't matter if he has a few more jokes now.

Anyway, few people in the courtyard really respect him now, and they didn't clamor to drive him out of the courtyard just for the sake of the deaf old lady.

But Qin Huairu probably won't feel so good about it. Now Jia Dongxu is still in the hospital and Jia Zhang is still in the detention center, but they will come back sooner or later.

If she, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, were to reveal any gossip, I guess neither of them would forgive her.

Chen Xu rested at home in the afternoon and went to bed before it got dark. He planned to go to the black market in the middle of the night. He hadn't been there for a long time and missed it a little. The guys in the black market were all talented and spoke nicely. He liked them very much.

The most important thing is that he also wants to see if there is anything he likes. Now that the space is gradually getting bigger, there are more things he can do, including breeding and planting. The black market is a good choice, and you can always come across some strange things.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Xu was woken up by the alarm clock on time. He washed his face in the space to make himself more awake, changed into his usual clothes for going to the black market, and prepared to go out.

With his hand on the door handle, Chen Xu could already hear the noise outside. Although it was very slight, he was no longer the same person he used to be. His body was in good health and his five senses were much stronger. Moreover, there were people talking in low voices outside.

He was a little confused as to who was going out at this time. People who go out now usually go to the black market. There were only a few families in the backyard. Apart from him, Sha Zhu, the deaf old lady, and Liu Haizhong, there was only one passerby living there.

The backyard of the courtyard house has the fewest residents, as most of them are concentrated in the front yard and the middle yard.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xu gently opened the door a little, wanting to see who was planning to go to the black market.

The moon is not very big tonight. Although it is not pitch dark outside, there is only a faint moonlight to cast a tiny shadow.

Chen Xu could barely tell that they were two people, but the large and small bags on their bodies made him instantly know who they were.

He knew that Liu Guangqi would run away, but he didn't expect this guy to be so anxious and run away on his wedding night.

But that's true. Liu Haizhong drank a lot of wine today. At noon, even the second aunt was toasted by Liu Guangqi's father-in-law. Maybe it was to create the opportunity now.

Chen Xu cursed in his heart that it was bad luck that he would encounter such a bad thing when going to the black market.

He was just a little curious. It was not easy to run away in the middle of the night. If he was discovered by the red armbands patrolling at night, he would not be able to explain why he went out at night.

Moreover, if they were robbed, that would be a lot of fun. Liu Guangqi had plundered the Liu family's savings and ran away. With the Liu family's financial resources, he would have taken at least a few thousand yuan.

Chen Xu didn't intend to care about this matter. He waited for a few minutes until the two figures disappeared, then slipped out of the house and went to the central courtyard.

I didn't see Liu Guangqi and his wife until I left the courtyard, so I didn't care about them anymore. I went into an alley and headed towards the black market.

Not long after, Chen Xu looked at the two people standing in a corner with a dark face, familiar figures, and familiar bags.

If Chen Xu hadn't been alert, he would have almost failed to notice these two guys standing at the entrance of the alley, probably waiting for someone.

Chen Xu was not far from them, only about ten meters away. This happened to be a relatively long alley with no forks on either side. He was thinking about whether to go back and take a detour, cursing in his heart that everything had gone wrong tonight.

Before he could make any move, he heard light footsteps behind him. Chen Xu was helpless. There was no place to hide in his position. He could only hide in the space and wait for the guys to leave.

As he expected, the visitors were Liu Guangqi's father-in-law and brother-in-law, whom Chen Xu had met at the banquet during the day.

"Did you bring the money?"

When the four met, the older middle-aged man directly asked Liu Guangqi's wife, and nodded with satisfaction after getting a positive answer.

"Let's go, find a place to stay first, and leave early tomorrow morning."

Chen Xu stood in the space and watched several people communicating. He frowned a little. The three people looked at Liu Guangqi with some ill intentions, especially in such weak moonlight, which made it even more creepy.

How to put it, their eyes are very similar to those of the six people he met in the countryside some time ago.

Chen Xu rarely saw that kind of fierce look, so he naturally remembered it clearly.

Chen Xu carefully recalled his memories of Liu Guangqi. It seemed that this guy had never come back since he ran away, but he had sent a few letters back.

He appeared very rarely, probably only once, when Liu Haizhong and his wife were having dinner with their three sons. Even if he was mentioned later, it was only in other people's mouths.

It's only slightly better than Jia Dongxu who was hung on the wall as soon as he appeared. At least he showed up.

Looking at the three people whose temperaments had changed drastically compared to during the day and Liu Guangqi who was like a little lamb, Chen Xu had a bad feeling in his heart. He habitually thought of things in the worst possible way.

If...these three people wanted to defraud money, they have succeeded now.

As for Liu Guangqi's fate, it is probably not very optimistic.

As for the letter being sent back, it's hard to say. Who can guarantee that it was definitely sent by Liu Guangqi? Even if one imitates his handwriting a little, the brain in Liu Haizhong probably won't be able to tell.

The four of them went in another direction. Chen Xu thought for a moment and followed them.

If Liu Guangqi just ran away, he might not care, but the situation is different now. Although he doesn't care whether Liu Guangqi lives or dies, he feels unhappy to watch the three evil guys succeed.

The most important thing is that he now has the ability to protect himself, which is the most important thing.

It’s okay to join in the fun, but you can’t get yourself involved. This is Chen Xu’s bottom line.

The four people were in front and Chen Xu was behind. Because it was night, the four people in front were not walking very fast, so he could keep up. However, the route seemed to be getting further and further off the track.

Further on are the woods and reed marshes beside Shichahai.

The current Sijiu City is still far from the size of the 21st century, and the Shichahai Lake still retains a lot of its original ecology. In a few decades, if you want to see this scene again, you can only rely on memories.

This place is a paradise for anglers during the day, especially at this time of year when it is difficult to find a fishing spot. But now it is the middle of the night, so naturally no one is fishing here.

Chen Xu followed the four people into the woods. Fortunately, there were quite a lot of people coming here usually, usually to dig wild vegetables or something, so there were not so many bushes and so on, which also prevented him from making any noise.

The bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. The young man in front was walking in front, Liu Guangqi was in the second place, and behind them were the old man and the woman.

Chen Xu had already seen that the old man and the woman walking behind him quickened their pace to get closer to Liu Guangqi in front, but this fool knew nothing about it.

The young man leading the way turned around and stared at Liu Guangqi at this moment, causing Liu Guangqi, who was walking a few steps behind, to almost bump into him.

Looking at his brother-in-law with a ferocious expression, Liu Guangqi's pupils widened a lot. It was the first time that this brother-in-law, whom he always called brother-in-law affectionately, had such an expression.

Liu Guangqi was about to say something when he felt a pain at the back of his head. He wanted to turn around to see what was going on, but his body had already fallen to the ground involuntarily. His last memory was of three smiling faces, which looked no different from demons.
