Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Yi Zhonghai stared at Lin Geng with uncontrollable anger, feeling surprised and looking at Lin Geng with some doubt. He always felt that Lin Geng today was a little different from usual. He seemed no longer as sickly as before. He became more handsome today, and his body seemed to be a little taller and stronger. His posture seemed to be much more upright, and he looked quite dignified.

On the surface, his face was still the same as before, but his skin was no longer dull and his cheeks and eye sockets were no longer sunken. Instead, his skin had become whiter and had a healthy rosy glow, and his eyes had become bright and seemed to be sparkling.

His clothes were still the same shabby ones as before. If not, he would hardly recognize that the tall and handsome young man in front of him was the same thin, hunched and timid Lin Geng as before.

"You..." Yi Zhonghai looked at Lin Geng in front of him with some doubt, and asked in disbelief: "Are you Lin Geng? Are you cured?"

Lin Geng looked at Yi Zhonghai with sharp eyes, a look of contempt on his face, and asked in a mocking tone: "Yi Zhonghai, are you blind? Can't you see clearly? Who else can I be if not Lin Geng? As for my illness, thanks to you, it is indeed cured now! What? Are you very disappointed?"

At this time, everyone in the yard also noticed Lin Geng's changes. They closed their mouths that were wide open in surprise and began to look at Lin Geng in front of them carefully.

After taking a closer look, they really found that the current Lin Geng seemed to have changed a lot from the Lin Geng in their impression. The previous Lin Geng was thin and weak, always looked sick, and had a hunched body.

Lin Geng now seemed like a different person. He became taller and more handsome. If it weren't for the fact that his face was still the same and his facial features and face shape could still make him recognizable as Lin Geng, they would have suspected that the Lin Geng in front of them had been replaced.

They all tried to recall carefully, when did this change happen to Lin Geng? But it seemed that they couldn't remember! Because usually Lin Geng was too low-key, with no sense of presence in the yard, always hiding in the house, rarely going out to meet people in the yard, so for a while no one could remember when this change happened to Lin Geng.

Even Yi Zhonghai, who had brought Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu to Lin Geng's house last night to ask him to vacate the house today and "lend" it to Jia Dongxu, was a little dazed and could not remember what Lin Geng looked like last night.

He seemed to only remember that the light in Lin Geng's room was dim, and a five-watt incandescent bulb could not illuminate the dark room. In addition, he did not take Lin Geng seriously at all, so he did not pay attention to Lin Geng's appearance last night.

What's more, nominally they went to Lin Geng last night to "discuss" the so-called renting of a house, but in fact they didn't let Lin Geng speak at all. They just used an imperative tone to ask Lin Geng to vacate the two rooms in the west wing where he lived today and move to the shabby ear-shaped room at the corner of the He family's house where people in the yard usually stored their sundries, and give the two rooms in the west wing to the Jia family.

The three of them didn't even look at Lin Geng who was sitting in the dim light in the house last night. After notifying him, they left the Lin family without waiting for Lin Geng to say anything, completely ignoring this coward Lin Geng.

Now, when he looked at the huge change in Lin Geng, Yi Zhonghai was a little confused. He kept saying "you, you, you" for a long time but couldn't find any suitable words, so he could only scold Lin Geng with a stern face again:

"Lin Geng, let's not talk about your change first, why did you hit your Aunt Jia and Jia Dongxu today? Jia Zhang is your elder after all, how could you kick her? And kick her so hard?

And look at what Dongxu has done after you kicked him? Dongxu has fainted! You are committing a crime! If you report this to the police, you might end up in jail!

Hurry up and get the money to send your Aunt Jia and Dongxu to the hospital for treatment. If anything happens to them, I, as an old man, will never forgive you! I will report it to the police and have them arrest you and put you in jail!"

At this time, Qin Huairu rushed to Jia Dongxu, hugged Jia Dongxu's head with a look of panic on her face, shook Jia Dongxu, and screamed Jia Dongxu's name.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was scolding Lin Geng harshly, Jia Dongxu suddenly took a sharp breath, then slowly woke up. As he slowly opened his eyes, his facial features twitched and squeezed together. His face turned purple, revealing a look of extreme pain. His body curled up, and he hugged his stomach with both hands. He groaned in pain, but was unable to speak for a while.

"Hiss... Woohoo... It hurts so much! My intestines must have been broken by that little beast! Hurry up and take me to the hospital! Qin Huairu, you little bitch, why don't you take us to the hospital?

"Uncle, you can't let this little beast go, report him to the police! Report him to the police and arrest him! Make him give the house to our Jia family as compensation! Make him use the money to treat my mother and me! He should at least compensate us a hundred yuan... Oh no, at least two hundred yuan, and let him be shot!"

Jia Zhang had recovered a little by now, so she lay on the ground and started rolling around, cursing at Lin Geng. She also instructed Yi Zhonghai to report to the police to have Lin Geng arrested and sent to shooting range.

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's rebuke and Jia Zhang's abuse, Lin Geng did not show any panic at all. Instead, he continued to maintain a mischievous sneer on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He raised his hands and began to clap, and said:

"Well said! What the uncle said is right! No wonder he is the uncle, his level of handling things is really high! He didn't even ask me why I kicked Jia Zhang, and just convicted me without asking anything!

That’s right! We should report this to the police! Report this now! Let the police investigate who should be taken to the target shooting!

Then who...right...Second uncle, third uncle! Please help me, listen to the instructions of the first uncle, and have someone report to the police immediately! If the first uncle doesn't report to the police today, he will be my grandson!"

After hearing this, everyone's faces changed suddenly. No one expected that Lin Geng, who used to look honest and timid, seemed like a different person today. He actually dared to humiliate Yi Zhonghai, the man who was recognized as the boss in the courtyard and had the final say.

You should know that Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill. Not only is he very prestigious in the steel rolling mill, he is also a well-known figure in the street office. He was selected by the street office as the uncle of the courtyard and is in charge of the daily management affairs of the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

But today, Lin Geng actually dared to confront the uncle Yi Zhonghai and said rudely that if Yi Zhonghai did not report to the police, he would be Lin Geng's grandson. Isn't this a naked humiliation to Yi Zhonghai?

Everyone in the yard looked at Lin Geng in amazement, wondering if this guy was crazy? He beat Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu like this, and he dared to provoke Yi Zhonghai like this. If this is not crazy, what is it?

It happened to be Sunday today, and most of the people in the compound were resting at home. This incident happened when they woke up in the morning. Most of the people in the compound gathered in the middle courtyard. When they heard that Lin Geng had humiliated Yi Zhonghai in this way, before Yi Zhonghai, whose face turned red, could get mad, a sturdy man who looked like he was in his thirties pushed through the crowd and pointed at Lin Geng with an angry face and cursed:

"Son of a bitch! Didn't I give you face? How dare you talk to me like that? Do you believe that I will beat you to death? Why don't you kowtow and apologize to me? Otherwise, I will beat you up first and then send you to the police station to be shot!"

Lin Geng glanced at him, oh, isn't this the world's number one licker, Shazhu? He really is worthy of being the first double-flowered red stick elite fighter under Yi Zhonghai! As soon as he saw him humiliating Yi Zhonghai, the old Bidden, he immediately jumped out and prepared to suppress this troublemaker with force.

"Haha! Who did I think it was? It turned out to be a stupid pig! Who unfastened his pants and exposed you? What do you have to do with this? Is it your turn to come out and talk nonsense? What's the matter between me and the Jia family? How can you stand up for the Jia family? Who do you think you are?"

Lin Geng twisted his mouth and sneered, and started to taunt Sha Zhu who jumped out, rolled up his sleeves, and pretended to rush over to beat him up.

Seeing Lin Geng actually mocking Sha Zhu like that, everyone in the courtyard took a deep breath and felt that Lin Geng had really gone crazy today. Not only did he beat up the mother and son of the Jia family and offend an old man, but now he even dared to provoke Sha Zhu!

You have to know that Sha Zhu has always been known as the God of War in the Siheyuan. He can be said to be invincible in the courtyard, from the front yard to the back yard. Except for women, elderly people and young children, almost all men in the courtyard, from childhood to adulthood, have been beaten by him?

Ever since his father He Daqing ran away with a widow and left him and his sister He Yushui, as Sha Zhu grew older, Yi Zhonghai took Sha Zhu under his wing and he became Yi Zhonghai's gold medal thug. Whenever someone disobeyed Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu would immediately jump out and suppress them with force. Almost everyone in the yard was intimidated by Sha Zhu's force, and generally no one dared to go against Yi Zhonghai easily.

But today, Lin Geng actually dared to provoke Sha Zhu like this. Is this kid really crazy? Isn't this just asking for a fight?
