Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

After having dinner at Sha Zhu's house again, he talked and laughed with Sha Zhu's brother and sister for a while. After listening to Sha Zhu's complaints about being taken away by the police today, some people in the yard whispered bad things about him, gloating and maliciously speculating that he was taken away by the police because he had committed a crime. Lin Geng just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.

People are like this, they hate others for what they have and laugh at others for what they don't. It would be strange if they didn't feel jealous when they see others living a good life. So when encountering a situation like today, it's not surprising that they would make up stories about themselves and fantasize about him committing a crime and being arrested by the police.

Living in this courtyard, he was mentally prepared. If anyone was willing to be his friend and stand on his side, he would repay them tenfold or a hundredfold. But if anyone wanted to be his enemy, he would not mind giving them a good beating. In short, he advocated doing whatever he wanted, and he had to be clear-minded.

After returning to Xu Damao's house and lying down, the yard had become completely quiet. At this point, in the absence of any entertainment, people had gone to bed early. Indescribable noises began to be heard from some of the houses in the yard, which made Lin Gengting's face stiffen. He reached out and took out two balls of cotton to plug his ears to block out these evil sounds.

But just when he was about to plug his ears, he vaguely heard voices coming from the Liu family opposite.

"That damn little bastard surnamed Lin was actually released. People like him should be taken to the target shooting range. They are a scourge to this world! Are the police blind? They let little bastards like him get away with it!..." This was Liu Haizhong's voice. It was obvious that Liu Haizhong thought he was already asleep, so he started complaining to his wife at home.

"Who said it wasn't? This little beast has harmed us so much, the police should take him to the target shooting range! Forget it, calm down and take a day off. It's time to go to work. If you don't go to work, what will we eat in the future? That little beast has extorted so much money, and now our family really has no money left! How are we going to live in the future?" This was the voice of Liu Haizhong's wife.

"Ah! Who said it wasn't? If I were to say it's time to go back to work, but look at my face, it's still so swollen. That little bastard was really cruel. He knocked out one of my teeth! I can't even eat steamed buns these past two days. It hurts so much in my tooth when I drink a glass of wine!

How can I go back to work in this state? I have completely lost face this time! It is all that little bastard’s fault! This matter is not over yet, don’t let me get a chance, if I get a chance, I will not let that little bastard off! Sooner or later, he will go to jail and eat peanuts!" Liu Haizhong continued with gritted teeth.

After listening to this, Lin Geng sneered and didn't want to listen to the couple's nagging at home anymore. He stuffed his ears with cotton balls and lay on the bed, thinking about how to make things more troublesome for Liu Haizhong and his wife.

After thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea, and a crooked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again. He thought to himself, "Let's do it. Fatty Liu, just wait! You will have a good life!" After making up his mind, he entered the small world and checked the situation in the small world.

The small world is now a thriving scene. The grain crops and agricultural products in the fields are growing well and at a very fast rate. There are flocks of chickens and ducks on the open space, and the rabbit breeding area is also full of rabbits running around. From time to time, big fish jump out of the big pond. Here, Lin Geng can't help but feel a sense of pleasure as the master of the world, which is very comfortable.

However, he did not stay in the small world for too long, because although the feeling of being the master was wonderful, it would affect his mind and make him accustomed to this feeling. After that, when he was outside, he would be involuntarily affected and become reckless or arrogant, which would be pure suicide.

Therefore, unless it is necessary, he is unwilling to stay in the small world for too long. After entering and taking a look, he will leave the small world and return to the world where he lives.

After dinner the next day, Master Li took a few craftsmen to finish the last bit of work and called Lin Geng to take a look to see if there was anything he was not satisfied with.

Lin Geng was not a nitpicking person. After taking a quick look, he expressed his satisfaction. He paid the remaining money to Master Li and his team on the spot, and gave them an extra 20 yuan as a reward for their early completion of the work. Master Li and his craftsmen were so moved that they thanked Lin Geng again and again.

They also promised that if there is anything broken, just tell them and they will come and fix it right away. It will be free of charge for future repairs. In addition, when it gets warmer in the spring next year, they will come and paint the unpainted doors and windows. When the time comes, Ling Gen just needs to call them.

After seeing Master Li and his companions off, Lin Geng rode his bicycle out of the courtyard and went directly to the police station. He greeted the officer on duty and said that he wanted to meet the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

The police officers in the police station now all know Lin Geng and have a very good impression of him. They also know that Lin Geng is the child of a martyr. Most of them are retired and demobilized soldiers, so they naturally feel close to the children of martyrs like Lin Geng, so they are all very enthusiastic when they see Lin Geng.

When they heard Lin Geng say that he wanted to meet brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they took Lin Geng to the detention center behind the police station without saying a word and called out brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

When the two unlucky brothers were brought out, Lin was so shocked that he almost didn't recognize them.

The two unlucky guys both had bruised faces and noses. It was obvious that they were often beaten by the prisoners in the cell. It was probably common for them to be beaten nine times in three days.

Moreover, these two brothers exuded a foul and smelly odor all over their bodies. I guess they have been sleeping next to the toilet for so many days.

Another thing is that these two brothers have become very thin, with sunken eye sockets and cheeks. They are not skin and bones, but they are almost there. Their faces are covered with dirt, and the exposed skin is sallow.

Although the two brothers were not liked by Liu Haizhong and his wife when they were at home, Liu Haizhong would often treat them to fried pork with belts and fried pork with bamboo shoots, and would beat them from time to time, often making them cry for their parents with bruises all over their bodies. The delicious dishes in the house were all prepared by Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi, and if they secretly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks without permission, they might be beaten up at any time.

But no matter what, when they were at home, they couldn't eat good food, but they could still fill themselves up with food like steamed corn bread, and Liu Haizhong and his wife didn't let them go too hungry.

Once they were locked up, their lives became difficult. Not only were they beaten every day, they could only sleep next to the toilet. The food supply was already meager, and the limited steamed bread was often snatched away by other prisoners, so they could only drink porridge.

Although they didn't starve to death, they still lost weight rapidly and looked really miserable and a little pitiful.
