Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Chapter 74 Unexpected Protection

"Dong dong dong."

Xu Changping was at home preparing the medicine that Secretary Ding had ordered when he heard a knock on the door.

After putting all the things into the space, Xu Changping got up to open the door, and a person he didn't want to deal with appeared in front of him.

He immediately asked in surprise:

"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Xu Changping didn't show it on the surface, but his mind was racing. Could it be that Liu Ruyi's secret was exposed?

That shouldn't be the case. He clearly made sure that the two of them were already stupid before he packed up and left.

"Something happened, and my leader asked me to come and protect you for a while." Yan Long said to Xu Changping with a smile.

When Xu Changping was imprisoned in Section 9, he was the one standing guard at the door. The higher-ups sent him here because they thought the two of them would get along well.

Seeing Xu Changping standing at the door, ready to be a door god, Yan Long said with a smile:

"Why don't you invite me in to sit down?"

"Please come in, please come in. What happened? It involves me."

Xu Changping then came to his senses and spoke quickly.

Something happened? Xu Changping thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything that could involve him.

"Why does your room smell so much like medicine? Are you sick?"

As soon as Yan Long entered the room, he smelled a strong scent of Chinese medicine.

"It's a Chinese medicine anti-insect bag that I made myself. Summer is coming soon, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants are starting to move around."

Xu Changping didn't want to be discovered that he was preparing medicine at home, so he prepared some anthelmintic packets in advance and placed them there. Anyone who smelled the Chinese medicine in the house would push the anthelmintic here.

"By the way, where do you live? My house only has one bedroom." Xu Changping suddenly asked.

He thought with a bitter face, could he live in his own house? That would be too inconvenient.

"Don't worry, I won't live in your house. The leader said you still have some means of self-protection. If anything happens, just shout loudly. I'll live in the backyard."

Yan Long looked at the changing emotions on Xu Changping's face with amusement for a long time before he spoke.

"That's good." Xu Changping patted his chest and said, then he looked up and saw Yan Long staring at him, and immediately explained incoherently: "Uh, no, I mean it's inconvenient for two men to live together."

"Haha, don't be nervous. This matter has nothing to do with you. I came here just in case. You stay here, I'll go back and clean up."

Yan Long patted Xu Changping on the shoulder, and then left Xu Changping's house.

Xu Changping watched everyone leave the east wing before turning around, closing the door, and taking out the half-made medicine.

While making medicine, he said to the system:

"System, do you think there was something wrong with Liu Ruyi?"

"Host, the system doesn't know either."

"I must have missed something when I was cleaning, but I didn't go there in my real face, so it shouldn't have fallen on me."

"Host, you must protect yourself when you do bad things next time."

"Well, that's not right. When did I do anything bad? I was just seeking revenge, okay?"

"Host, you are right."

Xu Changping was choked by the system and stopped talking to it, concentrating on making medicine.

He had originally thought that when he had nothing to do in the next few days, he would go and explore the yard where the secret room was found.

See if that’s the house Mr. Li San was talking about when he was hypnotized.

Now that such a great god has come to the courtyard, he dare not act rashly and just stay put.

As soon as Xu Changping walked out of the east wing in the morning, he saw Yan Long standing in the middle courtyard.

"Brother Yan, what are you doing?"

"I'll go to work with you."

"Um, I work in the infirmary of the steel rolling mill. Why are you with me?" Xu Changping said helplessly.

"You don't have to worry about this. Old Xu has arranged everything." Yan Long followed Xu Changping with confidence.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the steel rolling mill, Xu Changping saw Yan Long take out a letter of introduction from his pocket and hand it to the security guard at the door.

Since he was going to work at the steel mill, he would definitely have to go to the personnel department. Xu Changping glanced at his watch and said:

"Brother Yan, I'll go to the infirmary first."

"Well, I'll come find you later."

Yan Long waved at Xu Changping and walked towards the office building.

Xu Changping didn't have time to pay attention to him. He was about to be late for work, so he walked anxiously towards the infirmary.

Not long after Xu Changping and others arrived, Yan Long was sent to the infirmary by Director Niu.

"This is Yan Long, Comrade Yan. Our infirmary is so short of staff. Comrade Yan is coming to help for a while."

After introducing the people, Director Niu said nothing more and turned and left the office.

Xu Changping secretly gave Yan Long a thumbs up and then sat there obediently reading.

In this way, time has come to May.

"You should be fine now. Old Xu notified me to return to the team."

For more than a month, Yan Long and Xu Changping have been inseparable. They go to work together and live in the same hospital after get off work. Now that he suddenly announced that he was leaving, he was really reluctant to let him go.

"Come and play with me when you are resting, and I will cook you a big meal." Xu Changping said with a smile.

"Well, be careful. If you feel anything is wrong, call me." Yan Long patted Xu Changping on the shoulder and left with his luggage.

Xu Changping was sad for a while, then immediately became happy.

Since this person has left, does that mean I have a chance to go look for the house that Mr. Li Sanye mentioned?

He did what he said and Xu Changping turned around and followed him out the door.

He still didn't know where Sishui Hutong was, but based on the location of Li Sanye's base, Xu Changping thought it should be not far from Jiangjun Hutong.

Xu Changping took the bus to Jiangjun Hutong. When he passed by the Pigeon Market and wanted to go in, he found that the two guards at the door were gone.

What happened? Is the pigeon market over today?

Just as Xu Changping was about to go in, he felt the corner of his clothes tighten. He looked down and saw a child in tattered clothes being pulled.

"Kid, what's wrong?"

Xu Changping did not brush the child's hand away, but squatted down and asked.

"Don't go in. It was sealed off some time ago."

The child didn't expect Xu Changping to squat down and talk to him, so he let go of his clothes and tangled his two little hands together.

"This is for you. Thank you for reminding me." Xu Changping put his hand into his bag, took out a few candies and stuffed them into the child's pocket.

"Thank you, brother." The child covered the candy that was about to overflow with both hands and said with a smile.

"You're welcome. I'm leaving now." Xu Changping said, then stood up and left the entrance of Pigeon City.
