Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Time returns to morning.

Banggeng returned to the so-called secret warehouse of the Riot Committee, which was actually a courtyard house near the department store. It was an ordinary small courtyard, and Hao Xinren said it was rented.

"Bang Geng is back. Come on, tell me what good stuff those people from the Workers' Liaison Committee have got?"

Seeing Banggeng coming back, Hao Xinren stood up, poured a glass of water and handed it to Banggeng.

"Thank you, Brother Hao."

Hao Xinren poured the water himself. Banggeng felt flattered and changed his address from Director Hao to Brother Hao.

"We are one family, don't be polite."

Hao Xinren frowned slightly. He still preferred people to call him Director Hao, rather than being like Banggeng who had no sense of boundaries and thought he was a big shot. Although he felt a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't say it out loud.

Normally, he also tried to establish his own personality, and when interacting with others, especially those on the riot committee, he tried his best to appear friendly and rarely said harsh words.

"Brother Hao, here you go."

Banggeng gave one of the small yellow croakers he got to Hao Xinren. In his heart, Hao Xinren was a good brother who did not despise him for having been in a juvenile detention center, did not mind his young age, was willing to give him things to do, and would usually take them to restaurants and give them cash rewards from time to time.

"Hey, Bang Geng, where did you get this good stuff?"

The small yellow croaker is bright yellow in color and everyone likes it, including Hao Xinren. This thing is hard currency.

"hey-hey."

Banggeng scratched his head and told the story of how he avoided the people from the Workers Liaison Committee and took away the small yellow croaker.

After hearing what Banggeng said, Hao Xinren's face changed and he began to look at Banggeng with a scrutinizing gaze.

Hao Xinren began to doubt. He trusted Banggeng enough. He always opened the locks by himself. Did this guy take away a lot of things during that time?

The seeds of doubt began to sprout.

Hao Xinren murmured in his heart: I was wondering why I couldn’t get any good stuff during this period of time. Could it be that this guy Banggeng secretly took it away?

I took out a small yellow croaker today, maybe because I felt a little sorry for myself?

Thinking about these days, I really treated Banggeng as my own. I would take him with me every time I went to a restaurant to eat, and would give him some rewards from time to time.

One must always be on guard against others. It seems I have to be careful of this kid Banggeng in the future.

No matter whether the past happened or not, it can only be forgotten. Hao Xinren understands that speculation and suspicion are useless.

"Brother Hao, why are you looking at me like that?"

Hao Xinren's eyes became sharp, with a cold look in them. Bang Geng felt very unfamiliar with Hao Xinren like this.

Feeling Banggeng's uneasiness, Hao Xinren smiled like a good brother again and said with a laugh, "I'm just thinking about the unhappy things in the past. Brother Banggeng, I like your gift, so I'll accept it."

"Brother Hao, as long as you like it."

Seeing Hao Xinren accept the small yellow croaker, Bang Geng felt relieved.

"dong dong"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Hao Xinren hurriedly put the small yellow croaker into his secret pocket, and at the same time did not forget to give Bang Geng a look.

Banggeng nodded in understanding, got up and went to the inner room.

After Zhang Zhanling came in, he threw a piece of paper to Hao Xinren without saying a word.

"Lao Zhang, what is this?"

Hao Xinren took a look but couldn't see anything special about it.

"Here's the list. Look at the red √ at the bottom."

Zhang Zhanling's voice was cold, and his eyes were even colder. He glanced into the inner room and saw Bang Geng fiddling with something in the room. So he stood there and looked at Bang Geng coldly, wishing he could go up and slap him twice in the face, and then kick him a few times.

Ever since the movement began, he has always been the one taking advantage of others. He never expected that the small yellow croaker would be taken away in front of so many people. This is a great shame and humiliation for him.

However, he could only look at Bang Geng hiding in the inner room with hatred. Even if he saw him and was furious, he couldn't go in and pull Bang Geng out. After all, this was Hao Xinren's territory.

"Small yellow croaker quantity 2, what does that mean?"

Hao Xinren's expression and tone were very natural, as if he had never known about the existence of small yellow croaker.

"Old Hao, let the guy named Bang come out."

"Lao Zhang, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Old Hao, to tell you the truth, that kid stole two small yellow croakers from me."

"Old Zhang, stop joking. I know Banggeng. His greatest strength is his honesty."

Some things, no matter whether others believe it or not, even if you don't believe it yourself, you have to say it. This is what Hao Xinren did, not to mention that he had a small yellow croaker in the secret pocket of his clothes.

"Old Hao, it's no use talking like that. The safe was opened by your expert, and everything else on the list matches, except for the two small yellow croakers. If I don't look for him, who should I look for?"

"Lao Zhang, you are wrongly accusing me. You just picked up a list and said two small yellow croakers were missing. When you go back today, can I also make a list and write down eight or ten small yellow croakers and say that you took them away from me?"

"Old Hao, I won't talk to you about anything else. Do you want to hand over the person or not?"

"If I can't pay it, no one can help me."

Not to mention that Hao Xinren got a small yellow croaker, even if he didn't get it, he wouldn't hand him over. Not to mention that you don't have evidence, even if you have evidence, you can't admit it, let alone hand him over casually.

He has insured Banggeng, he must insure it.

"Brother Hao, I swear, I really didn't see their little yellow croaker."

Banggeng came out from the inner room. Hao Xinren was so angry. Isn't this just causing trouble?

As long as Bang Geng stays in the inner room and doesn't come out, the two of them will continue arguing. When Zhang Zhanling sees that he can't gain any advantage, he will give up.

Now that the joke has come out, it will add fuel to the fire and will only make Zhang Zhanling even angrier.

"You're a fucking bastard."

Sure enough, Hao Xinren's worries came true. Zhang Zhanling came up and slapped Banggeng in the face, and then kicked Banggeng to the ground. It was not because Zhang Zhanling's fighting power was so high, but because no one expected Zhang Zhanling to attack directly.

Banggeng never expected that he would be beaten in front of Hao Xinren.

"Zhang Zhanling, you are so outrageous."

"I'm being presumptuous? Hao Xinren, f**k me."

Hao Xinren's original intention was to pull Zhang Zhanling aside, but Zhang Zhanling, who was angry, misunderstood and took the initiative to kick Hao Xinren in the crotch.

Hao Xinren bent his waist, covered his crotch and started spinning in circles.

Without Hao Xinren's obstruction, Zhang Zhanling started punching and kicking Bang Geng.

Banggeng's temper also came up. It's just a matter of giving in to two small yellow fishes. Is it necessary to hit me with fists and feet? He even hit his big brother Hao.

"Mr. Zhang, if you have the guts, beat me to death."

People who often get into trouble know that there are some things that cannot be said, and Banggeng is just pouring oil on the fire.

"Okay, kid, I'll make you tough."

Zhang Zhanling picked up a wooden stick as thick as his arm, and when he saw that the stick was being swung up, he got up and ran out. If he didn't run at this time, he would be really stupid.

As Banggeng took a step forward, he felt a gust of wind behind his head.

The stick hit him hard on the back of the head. He felt a sharp pain, then dizziness, his body shook, and then he passed out.
