Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

Lao Yang always pays attention to the surrounding environment. This period is relatively safe for ordinary people. Because normal people will lie down early to rest after eating, and activities are a waste of energy.

Now, only some people with special purposes and the Joint Defense Office dare to walk on the street. There are still murders and robberies, especially when walking on the street, you may be spotted by others. After all, those who do not rest so late are either police officers or people who do illegal things. Even if they can rob, no one dares to call the police.

Old Yang cautiously came to the courtyard of No. 8 Guaijia Hutong, walked around the west wall to put away his bicycle, stepped on the ground with both feet and jumped onto the wall to look into the courtyard. Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the courtyard, he was about to jump into the courtyard. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a faint light flashing in the west room and immediately became alert.

Following the wall to the roof of the west room, Lao Yang observed carefully for a while and found that there was more than one person in the yard, searching for something in the bedroom.

About half an hour later, a man came to the yard and hooted twice like an owl, and soon another person came out from the backyard.

The person who came later asked, "Did you find anything?"

The person who came before shook his head and said, "We have searched back and forth several times, but there is no clue at all. I think the thing should no longer be in this yard! I heard from the superiors that this yard has been given to someone else, and it is not convenient to come here again. It seems that we have to think of other ways."

The people who came later complained, "I don't know where the people above got this information, but I don't think it's reliable! We have dug deep in this yard but haven't found anything. I think the legendary treasure doesn't exist at all, we have been fooled!"

The person in front said cautiously: "This is not something we can speculate! Just do as the superiors say. It seems that there will be no results today! Let's withdraw and report the situation to the superiors."

The two men walked towards the east wall. Inside the east wall was a pile of broken bricks and tiles, half a person's height, which was a good place to climb over the wall. It seemed that the two men had been here many times and were quite familiar with the environment.

Lao Yang watched the two people climb over the wall and leave without following them. He wanted this yard not for messy things, but just to use it as a transfer point for goods. After confirming that the two people had left, Lao Yang jumped into the yard and released the 10 cars in the space one by one. He put the car keys and related information in a box and put the box in the gatehouse.

After another quarter of an hour, he climbed over the wall and put the key to the yard under a brick at the door. He took out his bicycle and quickly returned to the compound.

When Lao Yang returned to the compound, the gate was already locked. He put his bicycle back into the space and looked around, then quickly jumped onto the back house. He followed the wall to the roof of the west wing, and when he saw that there was no one in the yard, he turned over and landed at the door. He took out the key from the space, opened the door, and walked in, locking the door.

Old Yang first went to the north bedroom and saw that Li Yuping and the other two girls were still sleeping. Then he turned off the lights and returned to the south bedroom. He changed into pajamas, hugged Zhao Jingyi, and fell asleep comfortably.

The next day, Lao Yang woke up at dawn, let go of the sleeping Zhao Jingyi and gently got out of bed. He came to the north bedroom and saw that the three women were still sleeping. They probably wouldn't wake up too early. He closed the door and left the west wing. He locked the door from the inside through space and slowly pushed his bicycle out of the compound.

After greeting Aunt Sun at the door, he rode his bike to a newsstand not far from the street, where there was a public telephone. Seeing that the newsstand was open, Lao Yang stopped his bike, took out the contact information Zhang Qing had left, and called.

It took more than three minutes to get through the call. It was Zhang Qing who answered the phone, and Lao Yang told Zhang Qing about the car.

Zhang Qing jumped up in shock, feeling incredible! They hadn't received any news and someone had transported a large number of cars into Kyoto. This was a very serious issue. Old Yang didn't care what Zhang Qing thought, and hung up the phone after explaining it.

After paying the old man who reported the suspension of his vehicle two cents, he went to the breakfast shop, bought some tofu pudding, soy milk and fried dough sticks, and rode his bicycle back to the compound. Old Yang said hello to Aunt Sun again, and returned to the west wing under her envious eyes.

Old Yang looked at his watch. It was 7:10 in the morning. He first went into the south bedroom and woke up Zhao Jingyi, who was sleeping soundly.

Zhao Jingyi complained to Lao Yang with an unhappy face: "Why did you wake me up! Let me sleep a little longer, or I can take a day off. I'm planning to go back to Hong Kong with you, and I'll quit my job soon! So what if I'm late or leave early?"

But despite saying that, I still put on my shoes and went downstairs to wash.

Old Yang came to the north room again and saw the three girls sleeping soundly together. So he pulled out a bristle from the broom beside him and gently swept the soles of Li Yuping and Zhou Xiaobai's feet. The two immediately retracted their legs and kicked twice. Old Yang swept the soles of Luo Yun's feet again. Luo Yun's reaction was a bit strong. She immediately retracted her legs and hit Zhou Xiaobai's butt with her knees.

Zhou Xiaobai woke up from his sleep and sat up. He pulled Luo Yun's hair with his left hand. The sudden pain woke Luo Yun up immediately and she screamed "Aiya".

The two noticed each other's presence. After a moment's pause, they immediately reacted and looked at Lao Yang standing beside them with shy faces.

Old Yang waved his hand at the two of them and said, "Good morning! Get up and wash up. I bought breakfast!"

After saying that, he took out the broom and started to stroke it back and forth under Li Yuping's feet in front of the two people's surprised gazes.

Li Yuping felt something crawling on the soles of her feet, which was very itchy, so she rubbed her feet with something to relieve the itching. This feeling persisted and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she sat up suddenly and scratched her feet. When she opened her eyes, she found three people surrounding her and looking at her. She was startled and woke up immediately. She asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun couldn't help laughing immediately and turned to look at Lao Yang.

Facing the three people's gazes, Lao Yang said calmly: "It's dawn, get up and wash up. I've prepared breakfast!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Li Yuping scratched the soles of her feet subconsciously, not understanding what was going on. She said to Zhou Xiaobai and the other two girls, "Okay, let's get up. We are so tired after drinking!"

After hearing Li Yuping's complaints, the two girls realized that their bodies were indeed stiff and uncomfortable, so they got up from the bed and stretched their bodies.

Suddenly Zhou Xiaobai asked Li Yuping shyly, "Sister Yuping, I need to go to the bathroom. What should I do?"

Li Yuping glanced at the shy Zhou Xiaobai, chuckled, then stood up, locked the door, and took out a chamber pot from under a cabinet behind the door.

Said to Zhou Xiaobai: "Let's use this. You go first! I have something in mind too."

Zhou Xiaobai looked at the two women who were embarrassed and reluctant to go to the bathroom.

Li Yuping smiled teasingly and said, "We are all girls, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Look, I will teach you an example."

Li Yuping relieved herself in front of the two without any concern...

After the three of them had taken care of their personal hygiene, they went to the main room and saw Lao Yang and Zhao Jingyi already sitting at the table waiting for them. Li Yuping led the two girls to the washbasin rack, and they washed up and sat at the table.

Old Yang smiled as he watched the three of them get ready and said, "Let's eat!"

Several people began to divide up the sesame seed cakes, fried dough sticks, soy milk, tofu pudding and a tray of crystal shrimp dumplings on the table.

After breakfast, Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping came forward and kissed Lao Yang before going out to work.

Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun stared at Lao Yang somewhat at a loss, waiting for his instructions.

Old Yang was speechless and asked the two of them, "Don't you two have anything to do? Don't you have to go home or go to school?"

Zhou Xiaobai replied somewhat embarrassedly: "Brother Yang is right. Although we have nothing to do, we should go home and tell others before going out to play. Then we won't bother Brother Yang anymore. We'll go home first. Bye."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to go out.

Luo Yun also stood up, but immediately moved closer to Old Yang, kissed him on the face and said, "Goodbye, Brother Yang! I'll come to play again."

Zhou Xiaobai's pretty face immediately turned red. She felt that it was a bit unreasonable to leave like this, so she came over and kissed Lao Yang on the other side of his face, saying, "Goodbye, Brother Yang!"

After saying that, she rushed out of the house with her head down shyly.

When Luo Yun saw Zhou Xiaobai running away, she immediately went forward and kissed Lao Yang on the lips again, imitating Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping, before happily running out of the house.

Seeing that the women had left, Lao Yang lazily got up, cleaned the table, emptied the urinal and garbage in the house, then washed his hands with satisfaction, changed into work clothes, pushed his bicycle, left the slum, and rode slowly towards the Nanluoguxiang Street Office.

Looking at the dirty streets, Lao Yang couldn't imagine that this was the prosperous Kyoto in his memory. This place was within the second ring road, not to mention how bad the environment was outside.

When passing by Beihai, he saw Zhong Yuemin and his friends riding bicycles and looking for something. Old Yang immediately became interested and followed the group of people from a distance.

Zhong Yuemin was unlucky. A few days ago, he was shooting for prostitutes in the park. He finally found a girl that satisfied him. Before he could ask about the situation, he saw his brothers fighting and rushed over. Although he won, he also provoked a master who knocked him out.

According to the brothers, the girls they liked were also kidnapped, and they have not been seen since then. Slapping the wife is secondary, but this breath is hard to swallow. After he recovered from his injury, he immediately took a few brothers to inquire about Zhao Changbao's whereabouts.

Just now, Yuan Jun had someone report back that Zhao Changbao and his gang were hanging around Beihai. He immediately called for someone to come over and beat them up.

Lao Yang followed the others around for a long time and stopped a group of people near Weijia Hutong. He looked from a distance and found that the leader was the guy who had fought with Zhong Yuemin and his group before. The other side also had a large number of people, about 20 people, and Zhong Yuemin also brought 17 people. The two groups of people blocked Weijia Hutong tightly.

People passing by on the street took a quick look and left, no one cared. The aunties in the nearby compound had seen what was happening here a long time ago, but they were indifferent and continued to do what they were doing. It seemed that they were used to seeing these children from military compounds fighting in groups.

It is probably because these kids have a lot of backgrounds, and they will be released soon after being caught in a fight. After a long time, everyone knows about it, and no one cares about it anymore. As a result, as long as it does not involve the affairs of their own compound, no one cares about it anymore.

Lao Yang took out a handful of melon seeds and sat in the back seat, eating them while watching the fun. Although some people noticed Lao Yang's behavior, no one stepped forward to drive him away. The children of the military compound are so arrogant!

Zhong Yuemin looked at Zhao Changbao and Zhang Haiyang in front of him and said with an unhappy face: "Why, Zhao Changbao asked for external help, what's the meaning of calling Zhang Haiyang? And you, Zhang Haiyang, what do you want to do? Are you going to make trouble? Are you going to stand up for Zhao Changbao?"

Zhang Haiyang stood up and said with a smile: "Zhong Yuemin, I heard that you guys are very arrogant recently! You look down on everyone, right? Chang Bao told me that he didn't seem to have offended you in any way! You even found someone to block him, you are going to do something extreme! How about giving me some face and just letting this matter go!"

Zhao Changbao nodded immediately and looked at the angry Zhong Yuemin, waiting for him to express his opinion.

Zhong Yuemin was already unhappy, and when he saw Zhang Haiyang's condescending attitude, he immediately exploded.

"Why should I listen to you just because you are so awesome? Who are you? Let Zhao Changbao stand up, I will beat him up, and then make him apologize, and then the matter will be over. Otherwise, it will never end! Zhang Haiyang, you are so awesome, but I am not afraid of you!"

Zhang Haiyang was also a well-known troublemaker in this area. Since Zhong Yuemin didn't give him face, he couldn't hold back.

With a gloomy face, he shouted at Zhong Yuemin: "Zhong Yuemin, you are not giving me face. Then there is nothing to say, let's see the truth under our fists!"

After that, the two gangs were on the verge of a fight. They took out their sticks and stood ready, waiting for the orders from the leaders of both sides to start fighting.

Zhao Changbao hurriedly took two steps forward and admitted his mistake, saying, "Zhong Yuemin, I apologize to you, okay? I'll also compensate you 50 yuan, and we'll let this go, okay?"

Yuan Jun pulled Zhong Yuemin and said something in his ear.

Zhong Yuemin shook his head and said to Zhao Changbao, "If you had come to me to apologize and compensate me at the beginning, this matter would have been over. But now there is no way to get over it without a fight! This is also a good opportunity to see if you, Zhang Haiyang, are important enough for me, Zhong Yuemin, to admit defeat."

Zhang Haiyang also said with a gloomy expression: "You are right. Now it is not a question of whether to compensate or not. Let's see the truth with our hands. Charge!"

Zhong Yuemin also waved his hand and shouted: "Hit me!"

The two gangs immediately started fighting each other. Weijia Hutong was narrow and there were not many people who could fight each other. The two gangs fought and retreated, and soon they came to the street. The street was wide and the conflict escalated. Everyone started fighting each other, and soon there were casualties.

Although the fight between the two gangs was fierce, they were also very restrained. They only hit the thick parts and limbs and avoided the vital parts. After all, no one wanted to be shot because of a fight!

Although there were no serious injuries, it was really painful when they were hit on the body. Several people had lost their ability to fight and were lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Old Yang shook his head as he watched. These people had no fighting power at all. They just relied on their strength to fight blindly. Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang fought like a team at the beginning, but now they are hugging each other and wrestling like two gangsters!
