Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

In order to support his family, Yan Bugui had to do the job of picking up scraps.

Perhaps he felt it was embarrassing to pick up trash, so he put on a straw hat and a mask, wrapping himself tightly. From outside, no one could recognize that he was Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui walked the streets and rummaged through garbage dumps as usual, looking for valuable trash, but he was not the only one picking up trash, and a lot of valuable trash had been picked up by others.

Yan Bugui had very bad luck today and didn't pick up much valuable garbage for most of the morning.

It was almost noon, and Yan Bugui was feeling hot and hungry, so he turned around and started walking home. When he passed by a small courtyard, he saw an aluminum basin filled with chicken feed at the entrance of the courtyard.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up. This thing was quite valuable, so he reached out to take it. But when he thought that it was stealing, he hesitated.

Yan Bugui paused for a while, but greed finally overcame his reason. He glanced around, gritted his teeth, picked up the aluminum basin on the ground and ran away.

Yan Bugui had just taken a short step when he heard a shout from behind: "Hurry up! Catch the thief!"

Yan Bugui was so frightened that he ran away as fast as he could, but the woman behind him kept chasing him, shouting "Catch the thief".

People of this generation have a stronger sense of justice. When they hear someone shouting "Catch the thief", they will run out of their homes and prepare to help.

Just as Yan Bugui was about to throw away the aluminum basin in his hand, he was caught by the enthusiastic crowd.

"How dare you steal in broad daylight? Beat me!"

Before Yan Bugui could even utter a word in his defense, he was pinned to the ground and violently beaten by the enthusiastic crowd.

"what…"

"Comrades, you misunderstood. I did not steal..."

"You bastard, there are witnesses and evidence, and you still dare to quibble? Beat him to death!"

"what…"

"Please stop hitting me, I can't take it anymore."

"I hate thieves like you who want to get something for nothing. You have healthy limbs, why don't you do something else? Why do you steal things? Keep beating me."

"Please stop beating me. I was forced to steal because I have no other options. I don't have any skills and I can't find a job. My wife is sick in bed and my four children are crying for food. I haven't eaten for a day and a night..."

Yan Bugui cried and sobbed as he acted pitifully, his face full of sorrow and his voice desolate, which made people sad and cry when they heard it.

Seeing Yan Bugui in tattered clothes, skinny as a stick, with tears streaming down his face, everyone couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

"Mrs. Meng, this old man looks quite pitiful. How about we just forget about it?"

"Yeah! But it's just a broken aluminum basin for feeding chickens. It's not a valuable thing."

"Yes! Forgive others when you can. Who doesn't have difficulties at some point?"

Aunt Meng nodded and said, "Okay then! Let's spare him this time..."

Yan Bugui burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you all for your kindness. I promise I will never steal again in the future."

"Okay, let's go!"

"thanks, thanks!"

Yan Bugui was secretly delighted, got up and was about to leave.

"etc!"

Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat, he turned around and said with forced calmness:

"Comrades, is there anything else?"

As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, a big man stepped forward, ripped off Yan Bugui's mask, and then said angrily:

"Yan Bugui, it turns out you are a sinister villain. I was wondering why you looked so familiar."

Yan Bugui suddenly felt something was wrong and said in panic: "Comrade, you have the wrong person. I am not Yan Bugui."

"You bastard, you still dare to quibble. I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes."

After he finished speaking, the big man raised his hand and slapped Yan Bugui to the ground, then raised his foot and kicked him hard. Yan Bugui held his head with both hands and tried to resist.

"Wu Dezhu, what's going on?"

Wu Dezhu said angrily: "You have all been deceived by this bastard."

"This bastard is called Yan Bugui. He lives in No. 95, Nanluoguxiang. His wife is healthy and has no illnesses. He does have four children, and the oldest son is already in his twenties. Life is not as difficult as he says."

"This bastard used to be a teacher at Red Star Primary School, but he was fired because he extorted money from students and swindled neighbors. His evil deeds were even reported in today's newspaper with the title "The Guard Dog of the Siheyuan Courtyard."

"I've also read the newspaper. It says Yan Bugui is guarding the gate of the compound all day long. Anyone who wants to enter the compound must give him a benefit, otherwise he won't be allowed in."

"Extorting money from students, how can there be such a shameless teacher in this world?"

"This guy is the scum among teachers, the scum among scum."

"Cheating, extortion, stealing, is there anything this bastard can't do?"

"This guy is so evil that he even wants to use our sympathy to escape responsibility."

"My dear old men, beat them to death!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the angry crowd dispersed and stomped and kicked Yan Bugui who was lying on the ground.

Yan Bugui hugged his head, curled up into a ball, gritted his teeth and endured the attacks from the crowd.

About five minutes later, two patrolling police officers saw the situation and hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

"What are you doing? Stop it right now!"

When everyone looked up and saw that it was the police, they immediately started talking.

"Comrades from the Public Security Bureau, you are finally here. We have caught a shameful thief."

"Comrade Public Security, you are a bad thief. Not only do you steal things, you also cheat, deceive, and extort money. You have done all kinds of evil, and your deeds are too numerous to mention."

"Comrade Public Security, this bastard has even been reported in the newspapers. People all over the country know about his evil deeds."

The older police officer yelled, "Stop! Choose a representative to speak to me! I can't hear you all talking so much."

Wu Dezhu volunteered: "Let me tell you, I know this bastard best."

No one had any objection to Wu Debiao's self-recommendation.

After Wu Dezhuo's explanation, the two police officers finally understood what was going on.

"Xiao Wen, handcuff Yan Bugui on the ground and take him back to the police station."

Xiao Wen went forward to check and said in shock: "Captain Shen, the prisoner was beaten unconscious."

Captain Shen looked down and found Yan Bugui's face covered in blood, his eyes closed, and frowned:

"You guys hit him too hard. You beat him unconscious."

Wu Dezhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Captain Shen, this is not our fault. It's mainly because this thief is so hateful. Not only did he steal things, he also took advantage of our kindness and deceived us."

"That's right, everyone has said that we should treat our comrades as warmly as spring, and treat our enemies as cruelly and ruthlessly as winter."

"That makes sense. The thief is our enemy. It would not be excessive even if we beat him to death."

"Even if we beat him to death, we are getting rid of harm to the people."

"That's right. This guy is not only a thief, but also a liar, a scum, and a beast. A scum like him should be cut into pieces."
