Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

An elegant middle-aged man in his forties walked in with a briefcase.

Standing on the podium, he glanced at the number of people in the classroom and frowned slightly.

"Hello everyone, I am your high school teacher. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhu Chunlin!"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of chalk, turned around and wrote the three words "Zhu Chunlin" neatly on the blackboard.

Then he turned around and said to the dozen workers, "Next, I will teach you high school knowledge. Okay, let's start the class now!"

Zhu Chunlin lowered his head, took out the textbook from the file bag, opened the first page and started teaching.

As for roll call, it is not necessary. Learning is voluntary. He does not ask whether people come or not.

As the class began, Zhou Tian frowned as he listened below, because he found that what the teacher was talking about was a bit simple, and in comparison, it was just the content of middle school in his previous life.

Especially when the teacher lectures rotely, it is not a good thing for students.

But when he thought that he came to night school just to get a high school diploma, he felt relieved.

"It seems that I can't learn anything useful here except Russian!"

After thinking about it, he decided to go directly to his teacher after class to ask for a set of high school textbooks and go back to study on his own.

Time was very torturous, at least that was what Zhou Tian thought. After an unknown amount of time, the bell for the end of get out of class rang. He could not stay there any longer and simply stood up and walked outside.

"Zhou Tian, ​​wait for me!"

Dong Zhicheng's voice came from behind.

"Brother Dong, is there something wrong?"

Being called, Zhou Tian had no choice but to stop and ask.

"Zhou Tian, ​​where do you live? How about we go together?"

Dong Zhicheng put his arm around Zhou Tian's shoulders and said in a familiar manner.

"Brother Dong, my home is at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Let's do it later. Not today. I have something else to do today!"

Zhou Tian told Dong Zhicheng his home address and refused. He still had to go to the teaching building to find his teacher, so it was naturally impossible for him to go with Dong Zhicheng.

"Okay then! In that case, I'll leave first!"

When Dong Zhicheng heard Zhou Tian say this, he could only say something regretful, let go of his hand, and saw Lu Chengjun who had already walked out. His eyes lit up and he ran towards Lu Chengjun again.

"Brother Lu, wait, let's go together!"

Looking at Dong Zhicheng's figure, Zhou Tian smiled and walked towards the teaching road alone.

When he arrived at the teaching building, it was silent and there was no light in the corridor. Zhou Tian went up to the second floor and went straight to the principal's office.

"Teacher, are you there?"

Zhou Tian knocked on the door.

"come in!"

Mr. Yan's voice came from inside, and Zhou Tian pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing that Mr. Yan was still writing something on the table, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, you haven't left yet?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Tell me, kid, what do you want to see the teacher for?"

Seeing Zhou Tian coming in, he asked casually.

"Teacher, I want to ask if I can buy a set of high school textbooks. You know my family's situation. I want to study at home!"

Seeing a hint of dissatisfaction in Mr. Yan's eyes, he immediately added: "Teacher, it's not that I don't want to study in night school, but I have younger brothers and sisters at home who need to be taken care of. If I go back late, it will be a bit inconvenient!"

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, the dissatisfaction in Old Yan's eyes disappeared. After all, he also knew the situation of Zhou Tian's family. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, but there is one thing. I will check your grades once a month in the future. If your grades satisfy the teacher, then the teacher will allow you not to come. But if you can't satisfy me, then you have to go back to night school to study! Can you do it?"

Zhou Tian originally thought that the teacher would not agree. After all, he had just seen the dissatisfaction in the teacher's eyes. He didn't expect that he would agree all of a sudden.

As for the teacher's suggestion of testing him once a month, he didn't take it to heart.

He immediately nodded happily and said, "Teacher, I can do it!"

"Well, in that case, come back tomorrow and I'll bring you your high school textbooks. By the way, when will you pay your tuition?"

Mr. Yan suddenly remembered that the boy seemed to have not paid the tuition yet, and couldn't help but remind him.

"I'll hand it in now!"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but slap his forehead, and immediately took out 700,000 yuan in tuition from his pocket and gave it to the teacher.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, go back!"

After taking the tuition fee handed over by Zhou Tian, ​​Old Yan waved his hand and sent him away.

"Okay, then teacher, I'm leaving!"

After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he turned and left the principal's office.

After leaving the principal's office, Zhou Tian ran quickly towards the courtyard.

It was completely dark outside. Although it wasn't pitch black, it was still pitch black.

In the city of Sijiu in April, the days are shorter than in winter. Just as I reached the entrance of an alley, I heard a slight noise coming from the yard at the entrance of the alley.

Zhou Tian's expression paused slightly, and he was about to leave, but in the blink of an eye he stopped again because he faintly heard the words "Organization, Black Cat".

"Enemy agent?"

His heart suddenly sank and he turned to look at the houses in the alley. Although he knew that there were many enemy spies in 1951, he never expected that he would encounter one, and so close to the courtyard.

Now that he has encountered it, he naturally cannot let it go.

The first thing he thought of was to call the police, but after taking a few steps, he stopped again.

"No, even though I heard their conversation, what if it was a misunderstanding?"

After thinking for a while, he looked at the wall of the courtyard in the alley, jumped directly onto the top of the wall, and seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, he jumped off the wall and walked quietly towards the main house in the courtyard.

This is a courtyard house with one entrance. In addition to the two main rooms, there are two side rooms on the left and right.

The sound came from the main room. Zhou Tian came to the window of the main room, put his ear against the wall, and the sound inside gradually became clearer.

"Black Cat, this is the mission assigned to you by the organization, you must complete it!"

In the room, a clearly hoarse voice gave the order.

"That's impossible. A security department has just been set up there, and there are soldiers everywhere. If we do that, we're obviously going to die. I won't agree to that!"

A voice with suppressed anger said,

"Who said you were sent to die? There are people waiting inside. You just need to find a way to transport the explosives into the factory, and someone else will take care of the rest!"

"I said no, and that's it. The orders from above have caused us to lose so many people over the years. They don't care about our lives at all. I've had enough!"

"Black Cat, this is an order!"

The hoarse voice seemed a little impatient, and he shouted in a low voice.

"Orders? Don't use orders from above to pressure me. You have been doing this every time over the years, but what is the result every time? The result is death and injury. A total of 32 people have died, and now only ten of us are left! Isn't this enough?"

"Okay, I know you're resentful, but don't forget that our families are in the hands of the other side. If you don't accept orders, have you thought about their fate?"

As soon as the hoarse voice said this, everyone in the room fell silent.

After a long while, he asked, "Have you asked the higher-ups? When can we finish our mission and go back?"

It was obvious that after hearing about their family members, the people inside compromised.

"It says above that you only need to complete three more tasks before you can go back. Someone will naturally take over from you then!"

"Three tasks? Okay, I got it!"

As he spoke, the door opened and a tall black shadow walked out of the room cautiously. His face was covered with a black cloth but his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

As soon as he walked out of the house and closed the door, before he took the second step, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind him.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!"

The tall black shadow thought about it and wanted to dodge, but found that the opponent's attack speed was too fast. Before he could turn his head, he was knocked down by a knife.

Zhou Tian hurriedly stepped forward and propped up the other person's fallen body with his feet, and with one hand he held up his belt and lifted him to a corner under the house.

Then he walked towards the main room and knocked on the door directly with his hand.

"Who?"

A hoarse voice came from the room.

"it's me!"

Zhou Tian imitated the voice of the tall figure.

"Black Cat, why are you back again?"

The voice in the room asked with a hint of caution.

"I want to ask you whether what you said about letting me go back to see my family after three missions is true or false?"

Zhou Tian continued to ask.

"Of course it's true, this is what the higher-ups said!"

After hearing this, the people inside obviously relaxed their vigilance against Zhou Tian outside.

"Okay, then write me a guarantee that I don't believe you!"

The people in the room probably didn't expect Black Cat to say that, but they still said, "Okay then!"

As he spoke, he seemed to be looking for paper in the room. After waiting for a while, he said, "It's done. Here you go!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, and a gun appeared at the door and started shooting at the outside.

After five gunshots, a hunched figure walked out of the house quickly.

But he was surprised to find that there was no one outside the door.

"how is this possible?"

Just as the hunched figure was surprised, Zhou Tian pounced out from under the window and chopped the opponent's right arm holding the gun with one palm.

"what!"

The hunched figure suddenly let out a scream and the gun in his hand fell to the ground instantly.

Zhou Tian stepped forward again and punched at the opponent's chest. Unexpectedly, the hunched figure seemed to be skilled in martial arts. He took a step back, opened his left palm, and endured the pain in his right arm, and forcibly deflected Zhou Tian's punch with his left palm.

He leaned back, raised his foot, and kicked towards Zhou Tian's chest.

Zhou Tian turned his body to the side, turned his right fist into a palm, and chopped down at the hunched black shadow's leg with a hand knife.

"Boy, what a cruel method!"

The hunchbacked black shadow cursed, turned around with his left leg as the center, and retracted and stretched his right leg, so that Zhou Tian's right palm missed, but instead he swept across and kicked Zhou Tian's head.
