Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Ever since he went to the street government to report the cult last time, He Yuzhu has been riding his bike to and from get off work as usual every day, and everything in the city is calm, as if nothing has happened.

The calm before the storm, the bigger the storm will be!

That day, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle back to the courtyard as usual, took a shower and went to bed as usual, and ended this peaceful day lying on his bed.

At midnight, the whole alley fell into silence, with only the occasional patrol making a noise.

Suddenly, a fleeing figure appeared in the alley, followed by a group of shouting pursuers.

The pursuers shouted, "Zhou Yongtai, stop!"

When the figure in front heard this, he ran faster.

One of the officers gasped and asked, "Captain, what should we do?"

The captain in this person's mouth shouted to the slightly thin figure running in the front: "Monkey, are you sure?"

"Captain, let me try." The monkey said and then he used all his strength to chase forward.

"Monkey, watch out for the gun."

The captain shouted to the people around him, "Those who can run keep following, and those who can't run should hurry up and support us."

The crowd continued to chase in the alley, watching the monkey gradually catch up with the figure in front. Seeing this, they were about to breathe a sigh of relief and were ready to run forward to support.

"Bang!" A gunshot broke the silence of midnight, and everyone's heart suddenly jumped. The personnel deployed outside also followed the sound of the gunshot and searched inside.

"Monkey!!" The captain pulled out his gun and ran forward to check on the monkey.

When the captain ran closer, he saw the monkey pressing the target to the ground and there was a pistol not far away. He immediately felt relieved.

Before he could ask about the monkey's injuries, Zhou Yongtai, who was being held down, began to shout in panic, "Let me go! I have money, I can use it to buy my life.

Please be so kind as to let me go! You can all do this in the future~~ah!"

The captain kicked him angrily and cursed, "You son of a bitch, you are still playing reactionary tricks here. Be quiet!"

He turned to the monkey and asked, "Monkey, where are you hurt?"

"Captain, I caught him. I'm fine, just a piece of flesh was bitten on my arm." Monkey said to the captain while pinning Zhou Yongtai to the ground.

"Okay, I'll hold it down. You go to the back and bandage it to stop the bleeding." The captain took over from him and lifted Zhou Yongtai up from the ground.

"Okay, captain." The monkey retreated into the team, and someone came forward to bandage him.

The captain handed Zhou Yongtai over to two team members and told them, "Tie him up for me, and keep an eye on him."

He waved and called two team members over, telling them to walk along both ends of the alley, and when they met the people on defense, tell them clearly about the gunfire and that they didn't need to come here for support.

After the captain made all these arrangements, he led his team members and escorted Zhou Yongtai to the assembly point.

The alley seemed even quieter after the gunshots, but the occasional sounds from the rooms in the surrounding courtyards made people realize that the gunshots were real.

The next day, He Yuzhu started his life as usual. He pushed his bicycle out of the gate, got on the bike and drove towards the entrance of the alley.

He rode his bike past the braised pork stall at the corner of the alley and was attracted by the bustling scene.

"From the smell, it seems that today's braised pork is no different from the past. Why are there so many people here today?" He Yuzhu wondered.

As the bicycle moved forward and got closer to the stall, the voices of the crowd talking also reached He Yuzhu's ears.

He Yuzhu caught the words "gunshot" and "arrest" from the chaotic conversation, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Have you taken action yet? I wonder how much you've gained? You're not going to give me a certificate of honor, are you?!"

He asked himself three questions in his mind and happily rode his bicycle to Fengze Garden.

It was a sunny afternoon. Jia Zhang was walking out of the gate. She touched the banknotes in her inner pocket through her coat. These were the banknotes she had withdrawn from the bank without paying interest.

With a smile on her face, she thought about the set of glittering gold jewelry and walked briskly towards the west.

When Jia Zhang arrived at the gate of Xinghua Temple, she suddenly found extra guards on duty.

She hesitated for a moment, but was ready to go into the temple anyway, thinking that an important person had come to burn incense.

"Stop! What are you doing?" The guard looked at Jia Zhang who was approaching and stopped her.

Jia Zhang looked at the guard with a puzzled look and replied, "Come to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha!"

"Don't come here again. This is a cult den and all the people have been arrested." The guard explained to Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang's face turned pale, she covered the place where she hid the money with her hand, and screamed in fear.

The guards looked at Jia Zhang and thought she was just an ordinary woman who worshipped Buddha, and that she was frightened by the news and that was why she reacted like this.

"Auntie, please go home quickly! Don't get involved in these superstitious things in the future. They are all lies."

Jia Zhang nodded repeatedly and left quickly.

-----------------

Jia Zhang hurried back to the courtyard and went straight home.

It was not until she stepped into the Jia family's house, turned around and closed the door that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Zhang's legs went limp, and she slid down the door and sat on the ground. She was filled with fear. Her face turned pale, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

With shaking hands, she took out a stack of money from her bosom and held it tightly in her hand. She murmured to herself, "My money, my money."

After a while, Jia Zhang gradually recovered and stood up slowly, holding the door. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and suddenly remembered something.

She rushed to the bedside table in her room, opened it hastily, and searched inside. When she stopped searching, she saw a gold ring in one of her hands.

"Hehehe~ The gold ring is mine!" Jia Zhang stared at the gold ring in her hand greedily and kissed it hard.

Jia Zhang looked at the stack of banknotes in her hand and almost got cheated. When she thought of the gold ring, she felt that she had made a fortune this time.

"Good job on catching them! Why didn't you wait for me to get the jewelry in the back? Damn it!" Jia Zhang kept cursing.

After Jia Zhang had cursed for a while, she calmed down, hid the money and gold ring back in a secret place, then walked to the door, opened it, and went to the yard to fetch water to wash her face.

In the evening, He Yuzhu rode his bike back to the courtyard.

As soon as we walked into the central courtyard, we saw Jia Zhang dancing and talking excitedly to everyone.

When He Yuzhu approached and heard what was going on, he exclaimed, "Wow!" Jia Zhang was actually talking about how a member of a cult was arrested, and he described it so vividly.

"It really should be vivid and lifelike. After all, you, Jia Zhang, are one of the people who sneaked in!" He complained in his heart.

When He Yuzhu passed by Jia Zhang, he whispered to her, "Aunt Jia, does the gold ring look good?"

Jia Zhang, who was speaking with saliva flying all over her body, suddenly lost her voice. She looked at He Yuzhu's receding back with horror, feeling extremely terrified.

"Why is this fool talking about the gold ring? What does he know?"

Jia Zhang was shocked by her own thoughts and hurried back home.

The people in the yard were just hearing the most exciting part when Jia Zhang left. Everyone felt puzzled and had no choice but to leave and go home to eat.
