Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The temperature drops sharply on winter nights, and snowflakes fall from the sky like light goose feathers, reflecting tiny lights under the dim street lights.

Xu Damao dragged his injured leg and moved forward with difficulty, holding on to the wall.

Cheng Hao's attack was very heavy, and Xu Damao was seriously injured. Every step he took would involve the wound, causing severe pain.

Even though it was so painful, Xu Damao still didn't dare to stop and tried his best to rush home.

The weather is getting colder and colder. If Xu Damao can't get home in time, he will probably be frozen unconscious outside, and his life or death will depend on fate.

Thinking of the beating he had just received, Xu Damao felt very regretful.

I really don't know why I was so stupid as to go and cause trouble for Cheng Hao in the middle of the night.

In this kind of weather, you should stay in bed to keep warm instead of freezing outside.

A gust of cold wind whistled past, Xu Damao hugged his coat tightly, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his vision became blurred.

Humans are warm-blooded animals. Once excessive heat loss occurs, body functions will be affected, leading to symptoms such as shock.

Xu Damao's heart tightened, and driven by the desire to survive, he ignored the pain in his body and rushed forward.

Fortunately, Cheng Hao's home was not too far from Luoguxiang. Xu Damao hurried and finally returned to the gate of the courtyard before he fell into coma.

But at this time the door was closed, the neighbors had already fallen asleep, and the only sound in the entire alley was the whistling of the wind.

Xu Damao leaned against the door, raised his fist and knocked hard.

It was a pity that I had exhausted all my energy on the journey and felt weak all over. The slight sound of my knocking was soon drowned out by the wind.

The neighbors in the yard couldn't hear the slightest noise at all, and no one came out to open the door for a long time.

Xu Damao was exhausted and slid down to sit at the door. A heavy sense of despair rose in his heart. He squeezed out the last bit of his strength, his head became dizzy, and he was about to lose consciousness.

It looks like I’m really going to freeze to death outside my house today.

The wind was still blowing. The desperate Xu Damao was about to give up struggling when suddenly a noise came from the yard.

Soon, the door opened, and Xu Damao, whose body was frozen stiff, lost support and fell headfirst into the door.

"Da Mao, Damao, what's wrong with you?"

The person who opened the door was Xu Fugui. He was worried when he saw that his son had not returned home in the evening, so he went out to look for him.

Unexpectedly, I ran into my son who was about to fall into a coma as soon as I walked out of the hospital gate.

"Uh~"

Hearing his father's familiar voice, Xu Damao's tense nerves relaxed and he fainted completely.

……

When he woke up again, it was bright outside. Xu Damao, who was thirsty, struggled to get up and wanted to get out of bed to find some water, but his body was unstable and he rolled off the bed and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Hearing the noise, Xu Fugui hurried in and helped his son back to bed.

"Da Mao, how do you feel?"

Xu Damao slept for nearly two days, and Xu Fugui was very worried.

"thirsty……"

Xu Damao moved his cracked lips and uttered a word.

Xu Fugui hurried out to bring in a bowl of warm water and carefully fed it to his son.

After drinking the water, Xu Damao let out a sigh of relief, and his pale and gloomy complexion looked better.

"Da Mao, what on earth did you do the night before yesterday?

Why is he injured so badly, why…"

Xu Fugui was full of doubts and was eager to know what happened that day.

Xu Damao pursed his lips and was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "It's nothing. I just accidentally fell when I went out shopping."

Xu Fugui's face turned cold and he said seriously, "Don't lie to me. Your father has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. The injuries on your body were not caused by falling, but by being hit by a rock.

Tell me the truth, what on earth did you do? "

Seeing that his son refused to tell the truth, Xu Fugui became annoyed.

The incident the day before yesterday was very serious. Fortunately, he stayed in the courtyard these days. If he wasn't there, Xu Damao would have frozen to death outside.

Under his father's questioning, Xu Damao had to tell the truth about what happened that night.

"That night I wanted to cause some trouble for Cheng Hao, but who knew..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Fugui was so angry that he slammed his hand on the bed and shouted, "Are you looking for death? How dare you mess with Cheng Hao?!"

Xu Fugui didn't expect that his son was so bold as to dare to touch Cheng Hao's tiger whiskers.

Liu Haizhong, the bully of the courtyard, was beaten so badly by Cheng Hao that he didn't know what to do. With Xu Damao's small body, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp.

"I am so angry that he looks down on us father and son."

Xu Damao muttered softly.

"How dare you talk back!"

Xu Fugui cursed with rapid breathing: "You did such a big thing without telling me, do you take me seriously?"

Xu Damao did not refute again, but just lowered his head and accepted the scolding submissively.

After yelling for a while, Xu Fugui quickly softened his heart when he saw his son's miserable appearance, and warned him earnestly, "Da Mao, you are my only son.

From now on, you must never mess with Cheng Hao again."

"Well, Dad, I understand."

Xu Damao is not a fool. After this lesson, he will never dare to appear in front of Cheng Hao again in the short term.

"I can't do anything about work for now, why don't you think about your lifelong affairs first."

Xu Fugui sighed and suddenly said.

"Dad, I'm still young. There's no need to rush into getting married, right?"

Xu Damao's eyes widened, and he could hardly keep up with his father's train of thought.

He had just escaped from danger and his body had not yet recovered, so he had no intention of looking for a woman.

"I'm not asking you to get married right away. Find someone to date for a while first. If it's suitable, you can get married when you're old enough."

During the two days that Xu Damao was in a coma, Xu Fugui thought a lot.

The Xu family only has one male heir. If anything unexpected happens, the bloodline could easily be cut off.

Xu Fugui is old and it is not convenient for him to have more children, so he can only place his hopes on his son.

Let Xu Damao get married as soon as possible, have more children, and expand the Xu family.

While Xu Fugui is still able to work, his grandson can help take care of him.

What if he gets old and doesn't have the energy to do these things?

Finally, Xu Fugui had a little selfish thought. His son was useless and probably couldn't support the Xu family. If he wanted the family to prosper, he could only start a new career.

"But...but..."

Xu Damao wanted to refuse, but his father retorted with one sentence.

“You got along well with the lesbians when you were at the steel mill.

What is there to be afraid of now?

Don't worry, I'll ask your mother to introduce you to a good girl in a few days.

You stay at home for a few days and get ready. "

Xu Fugui patted his son's shoulder, a smile appeared on his face, and then he stood up and left.

His son had been in a coma for two days and had not eaten much, so Xu Fugui had to hurry and get him some food.

Xu Damao lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and prepared to rest for a while.

But the silence didn't last long before a commotion was heard outside.

"Xu Damao, Xu Damao..."

The familiar voice was like a needle piercing his ears. Xu Damao sat up suddenly and looked outside the door vigilantly.
