Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

When I returned to the backyard, before I could even enter the door, I heard someone crying sadly not far away.

It was so heartbreaking that anyone who heard it cried and anyone who saw it felt sad.

Chen Xu turned his head in confusion and almost didn't recognize that the man was Sha Zhu.

Shazhu is now in such a miserable state. His hair, which used to be as thin as a pot cover, has been shaved like it has been bitten by a dog. His shabby clothes are also covered with all kinds of dirt. If you don’t know who he is, you would have thought he fell into a ditch.

Coupled with his thin figure that had not yet recovered, one of his cloth shoes was missing, and two toes of the other one were exposed.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was sitting on the ground outside his room door, his head buried in his knees, sobbing, and looking really miserable.

Ever since Sha Zhu was captured by the young general last time, his life has been worse than that of pigs and dogs.

They were taken out for criticism for two days and then released, then taken out again for criticism a few days later, and this cycle repeated.

Sha Zhu has completely lost his energy and spirit these days. Apart from crying helplessly, he doesn't know what is waiting for him.

Chen Xu frowned slightly, not because he felt sympathy for Sha Zhu, but because there were so many pitiful people around and he couldn't feel enough sympathy for them all.

However, he also felt that this method was not advisable. At this time, the law has become a joke and society is in turmoil. People are defending themselves, fathers and sons are turning against each other, husbands and wives are becoming enemies, and family members are reporting on each other.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xu, who came from the 21st century, felt somewhat confused.

Sha Zhu cried for a long time and seemed to feel that there was someone in front of him.

Looking up, he saw Chen Xu, who was wearing a black Zhongshan suit and had a resolute face. In his current perspective, Chen Xu was extremely tall, and bathed in the evening sunset, Chen Xu looked like a god.

Shazhu cried even more sadly.

Chen Xu: ...

"Don't cry yet. I have to go to Hong Kong City on business. Do you have any message for Xu Damao?"

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Sha Zhu looked up in confusion. He didn't understand why Chen Xu asked him this.

"I...I...just tell him to live a good life and never come back. Sijiu City is the King of Hell, and all the eighteen levels of hell are there..."

Chen Xu was silent for a long time. He felt that Sha Zhu had gone completely crazy, but when he thought about what this guy had experienced recently, he felt that it was reasonable for Sha Zhu to tell Xu Damao such words.

The current Shazhu is not much different from someone who has experienced the eighteen levels of hell.

"I will tell Xu Damao..."

Chen Xu turned and left, planning to go back and see if there was anything else he needed to prepare.

As soon as I reached the door, Sha Zhu's desperate voice rang out.

"Chen Xu, why? I told them that I knew I was wrong, but they still won't let me go?...Wuwuwu."

Chen Xu had one foot into the room, but after hearing what Sha Zhu said, he took his foot back and turned to look at Sha Zhu, who was crying with tears and snot flying.

"Because now is the most severe time. All the bad things you have done in the past will be infinitely magnified. Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. The evil you do will be repaid a hundredfold. Look at the courtyard, besides you, are there any other people being criticized?"

"Besides, you also implicated your father He Daqing. If it weren't for the breakup of the engagement, you would have implicated your sister. Wouldn't it be better to live a peaceful life? Why did you have to jump? Now, you ask me why?"

Many residents of the courtyard who came to watch the excitement were silent; they also heard what Chen Xu said.

Yes, although it is very chaotic now, the impact on ordinary people who abide by the law is the smallest. Aren't there hundreds of people in the courtyard all fine? Why did you, Shazhu, get into trouble? Don't you have any idea?

Sha Zhu stood there in a daze. Would he be repaid a hundredfold for the evil he had done?

It turns out that I really did something wrong. My father asked him at the time, do you know what your current identity represents?

He remembered that his answer was to start a new life, but He Daqing looked at him as if he was a fool.

Sha Zhu now completely understood that once sent to a labor camp, one would be inferior to others for the rest of his life.

But he still didn't understand why those people kept torturing him even though he had already received the corresponding punishment.

Chen Xu didn't tell him the answer because he didn't want to say it.

Or rather, he couldn't say it, so he could only find a few random words to perfunctorily answer Shazhu.

Chen Xu can't say that this storm was caused by the game between the big guys above, and then you are just an unlucky guy who was affected by it, right?

As for whether Shazhu is innocent or not.

It’s hard to say.

In the words of a judge in the 21st century.

Why did those young generals catch you instead of others?

Don't you have any responsibility at all?

Putting aside the fact that you have been punished, aren't you a labor camp prisoner?

If Chen Xu does this three times in a row, I guess Sha Zhu will just slit his throat...

Chen Xu can only firmly defend communism and use the most meaningless words to put all the blame on Sha Zhu. After all, Chen Xu himself is also a beneficiary.

The world is never fair...

I hope you, Shazhu, will understand as soon as possible that facing the general trend, you can only accept your fate.

After returning home, Chen Xu poured himself a glass of boiled water and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Chan seemed to sense the depression in her man's heart, and came behind Chen Xu to help rub her shoulders.

"Xiaochan, I feel like I've become bad."

"I don't feel it. My man is the best."

"is it?"

"Of course, I firmly believe it."

Lin Chan's words were decisive, which made Chen Xu feel less depressed.

"Mom is right, Dad is the best and the most powerful."

Xiaoyue hugged Chen Xu's legs and acted coquettishly.

Chen Xu smiled and lifted his daughter up high.

The happiness of the Chen family and Sha Zhu who is still crying sadly outside seem to live in different dimensions.

Just as Chen Xu himself said, the world has never been fair.

This is the worst time for you, Shazhu, but it has no effect on me, Chen Xu.

the next day.

Seven people stood on the waiting platform, and behind them were a group of steel mill leaders who were seeing them off.

Chen Xu felt that he was not going on a business trip, but that he was about to leave. The wind was whistling and the Yi River was freezing, and the hero would never come back.

"Director Li, you guys go back. We will probably be back soon."

Chen Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was just a long journey, there was no need to make such a grand ceremony.

The train was late. It was the first time Chen Xu knew that the starting station would also be late...

The distance from Sijiucheng to Tianjin is not far, and there are not many trains now, especially such short-distance trains, which run several times a day, like the subway of the future.

In this way, it is not surprising that it is late.

"It's okay. You are also serving the people. It is our duty to see you off."

Li Huaide said with a smile, and did not leave, but accompanied Chen Xu and others on the train.

Chen Xu and others naturally did not have the privilege of sitting in sleeper berths, but at least they still had seats.

The trains nowadays can only be described as horrible. People are smoking and drinking, chatting and making loud noises, which suddenly gave Chen Xu the illusion of the Spring Festival travel rush.

It was the first time for Lin Chan and Xiaoyueliang to take a train. At this moment, Lin Chan was looking at her daughter. Xiaoyueliang was obviously very excited, as it was her first time to take such a big and long train.

Sitting opposite Chen Xu were two girls, Li Lan and Yun Hui, both of whom were top students with regular jobs, otherwise they would not have been able to get the jobs of accountants and translators.

As for Chen Dan and Hu Bugui, they sat on the side of a three-person seat with an old man.

Chen Xu stretched out his hand to raise the window. This kind of openable window was rare when he traveled through time. It was quite novel to see this old green train now.

None of the seven people had any plans to eat, as they had already eaten before setting off, so they decided to wait until they arrived in Tianjin to eat.

Chen Xu overestimated the speed of current trains. It took him three hours to get from Sijiucheng to Tianjin.

Chen Xuren was completely confused. What kind of speed was that? He felt he could reach Tianjin by riding a bicycle.
