Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

During the whole process, Jia Dongxu was also busy, handling various procedures for the elderly, coordinating the hospital's services and subsequent arrangements. Although he was young, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye admired his ability to cope with the situation and his calmness at the critical moment.

"Mingjie, Qiuye, the doctor said that the old man needs some special treatment. We have to prepare as soon as possible." Jia Dongxu walked over and said softly.

"Okay, Dongxu, where are you taking us?" Ran Qiuye asked.

"I have already contacted the hospital. There is a specific treatment center that can provide more professional help to the old man." Jia Dongxu explained, "We will rush over immediately."

They followed the hospital's arrangement and were transferred to another treatment center. Here, a professional medical team conducted a comprehensive examination and treatment for the elderly residents. Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye sat on a bench in the waiting area, silently praying for the elderly residents to recover soon.

"Qiuye, what do you think of the old man now?" Xu Mingjie asked softly.

Ran Qiuye stared into the distance, "He is very strong now. Although his body is a little weak, his mentality is very good. I believe he will defeat the disease."

Xu Mingjie nodded, his heart full of expectations and wishes. They have experienced too many such scenes, and each time they have made them realize more deeply the preciousness and impermanence of life. At such moments, their work is not only to record history and culture, but also an important link for emotional communication with people.

He moved more quickly and cautiously, trying his best not to attract unnecessary attention again.

When Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye heard what Jia Dongxu said, they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.

"Dongxu, what did you say? Ye Yang is the deputy factory director?" Xu Mingjie asked with some surprise.

Jia Dongxu nodded and said seriously, "Yes, Mingjie, I am sure that Ye Yang is the deputy director."

Ran Qiuye frowned slightly, thinking about the possibility of this information. "How did you know for sure, Dongxu?"

Jia Dongxu took a deep breath and recounted the experience of being chased by the pursuers just now: "Before they chased me, a man suddenly appeared in front of me. He said he was Ye Yang's friend and knew that I had access to some sensitive information about the old residents. They wanted to stop us from continuing the investigation and hoped that I would give up."

"Then how can you be sure that he is the deputy factory director?" Xu Mingjie asked.

"Some of the things he said, as well as his attitude and tone towards the problem, made me feel that he was the person we mentioned in the investigation," Jia Dongxu explained. "And some of the details he mentioned, I think it is impossible to be false."

Ran Qiuye frowned, "This is really a troublesome situation. If they already know the direction of our investigation, it may affect our work."

Xu Mingjie thought silently that they did come into contact with some sensitive information and people during the investigation, but they did not expect it to cause such a big reaction and interference. "We must be careful and not let them easily undermine our work."

Jia Dongxu added: "I think we may need to conduct further investigation to confirm Ye Yang's identity and his background. If he is indeed the deputy director, then he may have a lot of information we need."

"Yes, Dongxu, you are right." Xu Mingjie nodded in agreement, "We need more evidence and information to determine the next course of action."

Ran Qiuye stood up and said with a determined expression: "We can't just sit there and do nothing. I think it's time to take some positive measures."

"For example?" Xu Mingjie asked.

Ran Qiuye thought for a while. "We can try other channels, such as communicating with other residents to see if anyone knows more about Ye Yang. Maybe he has some enemies or competitors in the community who would be willing to help us."

Jia Dongxu immediately expressed his support, "Yes, we can collect more clues and information in this way."

In 1963, the courtyard houses in Beijing gradually became "complexes" where multiple families lived together. Xu Mingjie's courtyard house was no exception. Several families now lived in the originally spacious courtyard. Each family built a temporary kitchen and toilet in the courtyard, and the courtyard became overcrowded. But despite this, the neighbors still maintained a strong family affection and friendship. During holidays, everyone would gather together to cook a sumptuous meal and celebrate together.

Life in the courtyard is full of contradictions and challenges. As the number of residents increases, resources become increasingly scarce. There are often long queues at the wells and public toilets, and the kitchens are filled with smoke. Friction between neighbors is inevitable. But amidst these contradictions, deep friendships are also nurtured. Xu Mingjie and his neighbors always help each other and face the difficulties of life together.

The courtyard of the Siheyuan is not only a place to live, but also the center of a community. Every evening, Xu Mingjie and his neighbors would sit in the courtyard, chatting and talking about family matters. Children played around, while adults drank tea and discussed current affairs and life. Such time, although simple, was full of warmth.

Xu Mingjie's mother, Li, is a typical traditional Chinese woman, hardworking and simple. She gets up early every day, cooks for the whole family, cleans the house, and sends some homemade snacks to the neighbors in the yard. Li has high hopes for Xu Mingjie, hoping that he can have a promising future and no longer spend his life in the kitchen and doing housework like herself.

Xu Mingjie's father was an honest worker who worked in a machinery factory in his early years, but retired early due to an accidental injury. Although his body was no longer as strong as when he was young, he still insisted on growing some vegetables in the yard and raising chickens and ducks every day to supplement the family income. His father's diligence and tenacity deeply influenced Xu Mingjie. He learned many mechanical repair skills from his childhood, which laid the foundation for him to become an excellent mechanic later.

There are all kinds of people living in the courtyard, including old professors, workers, and small vendors. Everyone has their own unique story and lifestyle. The old people in the courtyard like to get together to play chess, chat, and talk about the glorious days in the past. The young people are busy working and studying, hoping to change their destiny through hard work. The children play carefree, full of longing for the future.

One day, when Xu Mingjie got home from get off work, he found a new family had moved into the yard. They were a young couple, the man was Zhang Qiang, an electrician, and the woman was Li Fen, an elementary school teacher.
