Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

After Yang Xiaochun came out of Ma Xianhai's house, he looked around and saw that there was no one there. He went home, tidied himself up, washed the traces on his body, and after cleaning himself, he ran out of the city.

However, she didn't notice that not long after she left, a strong man walked out from the corner and followed Yang Xiaochun from a distance.

The person behind her didn't know either, but in the next room, there was a pair of eyes quietly watching their every move. After seeing that the two of them had left, they waited for a while, and when they saw that there was no one around, they also hung far behind them.

So, when it comes to these sneaky things, these Buddhas are the best.

The three groups of people followed one after another and walked out of the city.

Yang Xiaochun stopped at the gate of a courtyard and knocked on the door. After a while, an old voice came from inside.

"Who is it at this late hour?"

Yang Xiaochun replied nervously at the door: "It's me."

The door opened from the inside and a man who looked like a farmer walked out. He was about fifty or sixty years old, with dark skin, a slightly out of shape body, and a big belly.

After the man opened the door, he frowned at Yang Xiaochun standing at the door, looked around vigilantly, and when he didn't see anyone, he pulled Yang Xiaochun into the yard and quickly closed the door.

In the room.

"Didn't I tell you not to come see me? What's wrong with you today?!"

The man's voice was a little deep, but he did not blame Yang Xiaochun too much.

After living in peace and quiet for 20 years, the man has become accustomed to this kind of life. His vigilance has been completely worn out, and not allowing Yang Xiaochun to come is just a habit he has developed over the years.

Today, when he saw Yang Xiaochun coming over without his instructions, the man just took a quick look and no longer suspected that he was being followed when he didn't see anyone.

The reason why he frowned was because Yang Xiaochun came here without permission and he felt that his dignity was threatened, which made him a little unhappy.

Seeing the man frown, Yang Xiaochun quickly explained, "Master, something happened over there. I came here privately because I have something urgent to report to you."

The man was Wang Jingrui. After hearing what Yang Xiaochun said, Wang Jingrui looked at Yang Xiaochun for a few seconds and said softly, "Okay, don't be afraid. Can I blame you, Master? Tell me, what happened!"

Wang Jingrui was still very fond of this concubine who had been with him for more than 20 years and was nearly years younger than him. Of course, it was also because they had lived in peace for a long time and had lost their vigilance, so Wang Jingrui did not blame Yang Xiaochun too much.

Only then did Yang Xiaochun feel relieved.

"Master, do you remember those two young men who came to ask for money at night when you were at my place last time?

It was those two people. They have been targeting me since then. After they asked for money several times, I got so angry that I hired someone to beat them up. But I didn't expect that this group of people would not listen to any tricks or threats. They came again today during the day and not only robbed me of all my money, but also threatened me that they had discovered me that night.

They threatened me with this and asked me to prepare some money, otherwise they would spread the news.

Master, I have no other options here, so I came to you!"

Wang Jingrui was shocked when he heard this, but then he recovered.

He had been visiting Yang Xiaochun's home for 20 years, so how could no one have noticed? However, because no one knew the identities of the two, they thought they were just relatives from the family. After all, there was a generation gap between the two in terms of age!

Therefore, when Yang Xiaochun mentioned that he might be discovered, Wang Jingrui was only slightly startled and then returned to normal. It was not because he remained calm under great pressure, but because a long period of comfortable life had worn down his vigilance.

But this is normal. Who can live a stable life for 20 years and still stay vigilant all the time?

Although Wang Jingrui didn't think too much about it, being discovered was more or less a threat.

"Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it. Don't worry."

After saying that, Wang Jingrui looked up at Yang Xiaochun, who looked so pitiful, and couldn't help but feel hungry.

Before the two people who were watching outside had finished peeing, the room had already become quiet.

Although Wang Jingrui is old in appearance but young in heart, his body has aged after all. Fortunately, he had eaten well before Yang Xiaochun came.

Yang Xiaochun looked at Wang Jingrui smoking and cursed him in his heart, but said with a pitiful face:

"Master, you don't know. I was scared today. Those two men rushed into the yard with ferocious faces, robbing money and threatening me. In order to make them keep the secret, I had to give them all the money, but these people were still not satisfied. It's so hateful. Master, you must make the decision for me!"

Wang Jingrui patted Yang Xiaochun on the shoulder and said, "Okay, baby, don't be afraid. The master will take care of it for you. It's just that the situation outside is too strict now. Otherwise, if it were just those two little bastards, they would have sunk the moat long ago!"

"Master, you are still the best to Xiaochun!"

"You girl, you only know how to make the master happy. Okay, I will give you all the things that were robbed today. But don't come over if you have nothing to do. The master will come to find you. We have lived a stable life for so long, so we should be more careful."

When Yang Xiaochun heard the old man say that, he said unwillingly, "Master, didn't I come here for something important? And you didn't go, so I couldn't see you even when I missed you. I was alone in that shabby yard every day. Do you know how miserable I am? And you're still blaming me!"

Wang Jingrui quickly comforted him, "Alright, alright, Master, I will visit you often in the future, alright."

After saying that, Wang Jingrui got downstairs and took out a small box from somewhere in the inner room. The box was not big. Wang Jingrui handed the box to Yang Xiaochun who was lying on the bed.

"This is what the master gave you as compensation today. See how it works. Are you not angry now?"

Yang Xiaochun took it and took a look. Inside the small box were six small yellow croakers lying quietly.

A hint of joy flashed across Yang Xiaochun's face, and then she thought about what happened today. If it weren't for those two people, she would have eight small yellow croakers now.

"Master, you are so kind, but you have to hurry up, otherwise the next time those two come, the money will be theirs again. I am just a passing god of wealth, and I can only watch, alas!"

After hearing this, Wang Jingrui responded and fell into deep thought. It seemed that there was no other way but to take a risk. Keeping this person would always be a nuisance.

Outside, Hou Saner saw someone go in for a long time and didn't come out, so he knew that he had to spend the night here. He knew that there were other people watching here, so he didn't dare to get too close, so he didn't know what was going on inside.

But now that he knew the location, the rest would be much easier. Seeing that there was no point in staying, he took another look at the place where the man was hiding, then turned around and left quietly.
