Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

The deaf old lady nodded slightly. She really didn't want to give up Shazhu, so she could only give it a try.

However, she still didn't quite believe what Chen Xu said.

"Well, Xiao Yi, go to the police station and ask about the situation. Is it like what the Chen family kid said, that he won't come out even after paying the money? I feel that this matter is a bit mysterious. How can they not release someone even after paying the money..."

The deaf old lady's thinking is still stuck in the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention beating someone, even if she killed someone, she could get out if she paid enough money...

"Okay, I'll go ask."

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to agree, feeling a little regretful that he had meddled in the matter of Sha Zhu and Xu Damao. If he had watched the show like Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui at that time, things would not have come to this point.

As for the manager's dereliction of duty, he can easily make up an excuse, like he happened to be taking a walk outside or something. But it happened right under his nose, with so many people watching, he couldn't even blame himself.

Director Wang warned him that if he didn't handle the matter properly, he would have to quit his job. Yi Zhonghai didn't think Director Wang was joking...

Of course, this is the case if Xu Damao is still alive. If Xu Damao really died that night, the three of them would have killed him directly without any room for negotiation.

After finally sending Yan Bugui away, Chen Xu closed the door and fastened the bolt behind it.

Just half an hour.

Chen Xu has started eating wild boar meat stewed with radish. Today he bought some onions, ginger and garlic at the vegetable market, and the taste is indeed much better.

After flipping through the recipes, he found that the cooking procedures were clearly explained, but the condiments gave Chen Xu a headache. Currently, the place with the most complete range of condiments is actually the Chinese medicine store.

Chen Xu, the time traveler, obviously didn't know about this. After wandering around the vegetable market and pigeon market for a long time, he only found some rare and ordinary condiments.

Chen Xu had half a pot of radish and a large piece of wild boar meat. He drank up all the soup and ate two steamed buns before he felt full.

His body is now like a bottomless pit, as if the food is greedily absorbed by his body as soon as he eats it. This feeling is actually very good, and the improvement in his physical fitness is almost visibly visible to the naked eye.

Less than a week after arriving, Chen Xu felt that he had gained a lot of weight.

Chen Xu obviously didn't understand how terrifying it was to have a body that had no injuries and could always maintain the best condition but only lacked nutrition. In the fantasy world, it would at least be some kind of innate pure body. As long as the nutrition could keep up, the growth would be almost against the will of heaven.

Give him a few years, and even if he knows nothing, he will have no problem beating a guy like Sha Zhu with the brute force brought by his physical fitness.

If there were no problems with the human body, in fact, both the strength and lifespan would far exceed the limits that humans can achieve now. However, it is impossible for most people to have no injuries at all. The older they get, the more their bodies will age, and this is almost unsolvable.

But Chen Xu is not like that. As long as the space is still there, he can really keep his body intact.

This guy has not yet realized the terrifying extent of this ability of space. Chen Xu has always regarded this ability as a dust removal technique in the fantasy world, and he will use it on himself sooner or later...

He had no intention of going to Xu Damao's place. It was acceptable to send some venison over occasionally, but if he sent it every day, he would have to be crazy, otherwise he would definitely know that there was something wrong with Chen Xu.

It was none of his business what happened to Sha Zhu, and the matter ended there for him.

He wouldn't care if the deaf old lady really had the ability to rescue Sha Zhu, but Chen Xu didn't think that the old lady had that ability. There were people who could influence the judicial department, but they were definitely not people that the deaf old lady could reach.

If she really had this ability, she wouldn't have to live in this courtyard to retire.

Moreover, as a five-guarantee household with bound feet, she herself had problems. As for sending shoes to the Red Army, just listen to it.

The Red Army never entered Beijing back then, but she, an old lady with bound feet, went there to deliver shoes to the Red Army.

Pretending to be a martyr's relative is a very serious matter. When the rumor spread, this matter alone was enough to make this old woman suffer.

This matter was probably discussed and planned by Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady. Chen Xu occasionally heard people in the Siheyuan talk about it. It was probably to elevate the status of the deaf old lady and confirm her identity as the ancestor of the Siheyuan.

But this kind of thing would only fool the residents of the courtyard. The two old guys probably wouldn't think that this was actually a handle against them. In Chen Xu's opinion, this was like shooting himself in the foot.

When he woke up and opened his eyes, it was just dawn.

People are very adaptable. In less than a week, he had gotten used to going to bed early and getting up early.

In fact, it was really boring. Chen Xu missed the mobile phone in his previous life. Unfortunately, now he didn’t have a mobile phone, let alone a watch.

There was already some movement outside. Chen Xu got up early, but there were also people who got up earlier than him.

Chen Xu got up from the bed and felt full of energy. He did a set of turtle punches to stretch his muscles, washed up in the space and went out directly.

Another day full of energy.

Chen Xu's immature mumbling made the little girl next to him confused.

Chen Xu turned around and looked at the little girl who walked out of the yard with him, carrying a lunch box in her hands.

A pretty face, a perfect figure, no protruding butt, wow, whose child is so pretty, like a girl...

Looking at Chen Xu's leaving back, Yu Shui's face turned red with anger. She prepared breakfast early in the morning and planned to send it to her brother. She met Chen Xu in the middle courtyard. The two walked side by side, but neither of them spoke.

Chen Xu's original body had never spoken a word to Yu Shui in the whole year since he came to Siheyuan. This was not surprising. After all, Yu Shui rarely came back and the two were not familiar with each other. It was good enough if they could meet occasionally and get to know each other.

But today, Yu Shui felt that this guy's eyes were a little presumptuous.

It's fine that you looked her up and down unscrupulously in broad daylight, but what do you mean by shaking your head?

Chen Xu looked back at Yu Shui who was crying as she went to the police station. Is this girl so fragile? She started crying after just one look.

Sha Zhu saw Yu Shui bringing him breakfast early in the morning and felt a little touched. He thought his sister was better. But why was this girl crying so hard again?

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Sha Zhu comforted her, completely unaware that Yu Shui's crying had nothing to do with him.

Yu Shui was a shy little girl, so she naturally would not tell anyone what had just happened. Being despised by others was not a glorious thing. Even though Yu Shui hated Chen Xu to the core, she would not tell anyone else, not even her own brother.

"Do you know how Xu Damao is doing now?"

Yu Shui then remembered the information he had learned from the aunt yesterday, and his face immediately fell.

"Brother, I heard from an auntie that if you kick him often...kick him somewhere, he won't be able to have children in the future."

Yu Shui felt that she shouldn't say such words, but she was the only one who could see Sha Zhu now, so she finally gritted her teeth and said it.

"where?"

Sha Zhu was confused for a moment before he reacted. That night Xu Damao was particularly strong until his last kick...

Sha Zhu naturally remembered this kind of thing, and he had done it more than once or twice. He just didn't expect the problem to be so serious that he directly kicked Xu Damao out of the family.
