Siheyuan: How dare I mess with a man who is an expert in men's health?

Ignoring the two quarreling fools, Cao Anping packed up and slowly left the courtyard.

Among all the people going to work, he should be the last to leave. On the one hand, he likes to "punch in" to work on time, and on the other hand, he has a bicycle and can go fast.

Leave late and come back early, so you don’t have to ride a bike through the crowd. It’s relaxing and you don’t have to face those envious eyes.

Although I enjoyed this cool feeling at the beginning, I found it boring after a few days. What is there to show off about a bicycle?

As the wind and snow never stopped, the Zhu Daqiang brothers hid in an alley not far away as usual, monitoring the entry and exit of courtyard house No. 95.

The two men are quite capable. They have been monitoring people in this area for a long time, and have not been reported yet.

Zhu Xiaoqiang said depressedly: "Why hasn't the fat woman made any movement in the past two days? Didn't Mr. Cao say that she would definitely go out to make money again recently?

This is too hard to bear. My hands and feet are almost frozen. "

Zhu Daqiang replied angrily: "Why are you in such a hurry? Be patient. Besides, there is a deaf person here. Maybe we can catch her."

He just didn't know that Cao Anping's casual muttering had alerted the enemy and frightened Jia Zhang, otherwise her defense would have been broken.

Given the Jia family's recent situation, Jia Zhang-shi would probably be unable to endure it and would have to go out to earn a living.

The two of them took turns on guard for almost two hours. They thought that their work this morning was in vain, but unexpectedly they got a surprise.

Zhu Xiaoqiang trotted into the alley and said excitedly, "The old deaf man finally went out. He came out on crutches in such a cold weather. There must be something wrong."

Brother Zhu Daqiang thought for a moment and said calmly: "After all, he is a deaf man with a cane. He probably didn't go out to do anything secret. He was probably going to buy something.

Let's focus our main attention on that fat lady Jia, so you go and follow the deaf man, and I'll continue to guard here.

You must not let down your guard when following a deaf and lame man. "

The tall Zhu Xiaoqiang patted his chest excitedly and said confidently: "Don't worry, brother, it's just an old immortal."

He didn't want to keep watch here at all. Tracking people would allow him to move his arms and legs and wouldn't be so cold.

Zhu Xiaoqiang followed the deaf old lady from a distance and was not afraid of losing her at all because she walked too slowly.

However, when he saw the deaf old lady enter the supply and marketing cooperative, he was very disappointed. He didn't expect that what his elder brother said was right. She really came out to buy things. It seemed that she had been working in vain.

But to his surprise, the deaf old lady came out a few minutes later without taking anything, as if she had not bought anything.

What puzzled him even more was that the other party did not return to the courtyard, but continued to walk slowly in the opposite direction.

Zhu Daqiang's eyes lit up, thinking there might be a chance of recovery, so he followed.

The deaf old woman came to a remote alley and stood at the gate of a deserted courtyard, staring for a long time.

The reason why it is so remote is that three of the four courtyards in this alley have collapsed due to disrepair.

It is much cheaper to find a new site to build a new house than to deal with the ruins and rebuild the house, and there will be no disputes, so many abandoned yards in the old city have not been dealt with.

The deaf old lady looked around and went straight into the deserted yard.

Zhu Xiaoqiang, who was a hundred meters away, had his eyes lit up. He was about to follow and take a look, but he heard a scolding from behind him.

"What are you doing, sneaking around!"

Zhu Xiaoqiang turned around and saw two police officers staring at him fiercely, and he was immediately frightened.

After seeing the other party's reaction, the two policemen became more cautious and their hands were lightly touching their waists.

Zhu Xiaoqiang raised his hands and said with a bitter face: "Public Security Comrade, please don't misunderstand me. I am a good person. I am just strolling around."

The two police officers became even more suspicious after hearing this, one of them was alert while the other went forward to search him.

They began to interrogate him only after they discovered that the other party had no weapons. Zhu Xiaoqiang did not have any identification documents on him and was hesitant in answering questions.

Therefore, the police suspected that Zhu Xiaoqiang was planning to do something bad, so they arrested him directly and took him to the police station to verify the matter step by step.

Zhu Xiaoqiang glanced at the abandoned yard and felt like crying, but he was still smart enough to know that he couldn't reveal that he was following the deaf old lady.

Otherwise the consequences might be more serious, and Dr. Cao might even be implicated, so he would have to prepare to be a eunuch for the rest of his life.

But after the deaf old woman entered the abandoned yard, she came to a half-collapsed room with ease, not worrying at all that the remaining half would fall and bury her.

Because the yard did not collapse due to old age and disrepair, but she hired someone to collapse it on a rainy night, and the remaining half was enough to support it.

Fortunately, these abandoned yards are managed by the street office, otherwise the bricks and some wood would have been taken away.

People nowadays are very bold. They even stripped the bricks at the base of the city wall. If no one cared, they would have been torn down and used as firewood long ago.

The deaf old woman came to the corner of the wall and dug out a brick with great effort, revealing a dark hole. She put her whole hand into the hole and pressed her face against the wall.

She fumbled around and seemed to have grasped something, and began to turn it. From her expression, it didn't seem to be difficult.

There was a sound of gears turning, and a huge piece of floor that was ten centimeters thick slowly lifted up to one side.

This stone slab probably weighs two hundred pounds. Seeing that the deaf old lady doesn't seem to be struggling, we can guess that the mechanism underground is extremely labor-saving and complicated.

The floor was finally supported and stood up at an angle of more than 60 degrees, and the deaf old woman stopped turning.

She came to the floor and saw a sealed jar inside, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

The jar was firmly fixed in the ground by the backfill soil, without a single gap, so she couldn't take it out.

So the deaf old lady had to lie down and open the waterproof cloth of the jar layer by layer.

She took out a few small yellow croakers and a few silver dollars from the jar, put them in her pocket, and then tremblingly took out a cowhide bag tightly wrapped in waterproof cloth.

The deaf old lady opened the package layer by layer. The bag contained several envelopes and a black and white photo.

She stroked the photo, a gentle look in her eyes, even tears in her eyes. She wanted to put the photo in her pocket, but thinking that her house had been searched not long ago, she had to put the photo back with difficulty.

But she thought about it and finally left a letter before wrapping the cowhide bag with waterproof cloth and putting it back into the jar.

Continue to seal the jar, shake the handle in the secret hole, restore the floor, and then carefully erase the traces.

After doing all this, the deaf old lady walked around the yard tremblingly, leaving behind a lot of messy footprints, before she left the yard leisurely.

When the deaf old lady returned to the courtyard, Zhu Daqiang waited and waited but his brother did not come back.

He went out to look for a while but didn't get any news, so he could only go back to the old place and wait. He didn't believe that following a deaf man would be dangerous, and he blamed his brother for being unreliable.
