Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

Qin Huairu heard this and showed a trace of gratitude on her face. She quickly said, "Brother Si'an, thank you, thank you..."

Lin Sian patted the back of Qin Huairu's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room and headed towards the yard.

As soon as I reached the gate of the yard, I heard bursts of noise and shouting, mixed with the sound of things breaking, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

"Silly Zhu! Stop it right there!"

Lin Sian shouted and rushed into the yard.

I saw Sha Zhu with red eyes, waving the wine bottle in his hand like an angry beast, roaring at Xu Damao, Daye and others, with saliva flying.

"Sha Zhu! Are you crazy?!" Lin Sian rushed forward, grabbed Sha Zhu's wrist and shouted harshly.

Sha Zhu suddenly turned around and saw that it was Lin Sian. He was stunned at first, and then he roared even more angrily: "Lin Sian! Mind your own business! This has nothing to do with you!"

"Let go!" Sha Zhu shook off Lin Sian's hand with all his strength, staring at Lin Sian with his scarlet eyes, and said with gritted teeth, "If you dare to stop me again, I will beat you too!"

Lin Sian felt uneasy at the look in Sha Zhu's eyes, but he still tried to remain calm and said coldly: "Sha Zhu, look at the way you look now, what are you talking about?!"

"What am I saying?!" Sha Zhu suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with grief, anger and despair, "My mother is dead! My mother is dead! Did you know that?!"

"I know." Lin Sian looked at Sha Zhu and said word by word, "I'm sorry about Jia Zhang's matter, but..."

"Sorry?!" Sha Zhu interrupted Lin Sian and shouted, "Is an apology enough? You killed my mother! Pay for her life!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Sian said angrily, "Jia Zhang broke the law herself, what does it have to do with me?!"

"Breaking the law?!" Sha Zhu pointed at Lin Sian's nose and yelled hysterically, "Who did my mom steal for?! Wasn't it for this family?! For me and Sister Qin! For Bang Geng and the others?! You bunch of ungrateful people, now that my mom is dead, you're turning your back on me?!"

"Shazhu, calm down!" Lin Sian tried to calm Shazhu down, but his words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Shazhu even angrier.

"Calm down?! How can you expect me to calm down?!" Sha Zhu grabbed Lin Sian's collar, pushed him against the wall, and yelled, "My mom is dead! How can you expect me to calm down?!"

Seeing this, Qin Huairu rushed over and tried to pull Sha Zhu away, but was pushed away by Sha Zhu and fell heavily to the ground.

"Huai Ru!" Lin Sian's eyes were red with anger when he saw this. He pushed Sha Zhu away and helped Qin Huai Ru up.

"Are you okay?" Lin Sian asked with concern.

Qin Huairu shook her head, but her tears kept flowing down.

"Get out of here!" Sha Zhu roared, rushed towards Lin Sian again, raised his fist and hit Lin Sian's face hard.

Lin Sian was unable to dodge and was hit hard. He was dazzled by the punch and his nose was bleeding.

"Brother Si'an!" Qin Huairu exclaimed and quickly threw herself on Lin Si'an to protect him.

"Get out of here!" Sha Zhu was furious. He pushed Qin Huairu away and punched Lin Sian again.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and hit Sha Zhu heavily, pressing him to the ground.

"stop!"

A tall and burly figure stood behind Sha Zhu. In the dim moonlight, Lin Sian could see the man's face clearly.

"Yes...it's you?!" Sha Zhu also recognized the person and sobered up a little, but the anger in his eyes had not diminished.

The person who came was none other than the "culprit" that Lin Sian traveled through - Yi Zhonghai.

"Shazhu, you've drunk too much." Yi Zhonghai's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable majesty.

"I drank too much? No matter how much I drink, it won't change the fact that my mother is dead!" Sha Zhu got emotional again, pointing at Yi Zhonghai's nose and cursing, "And you! Yi Zhonghai! Don't think I don't know what you are up to! You want me to take care of you until the end of your life? Bah! You are dreaming!"

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened, but he soon regained his composure. He turned to look at Lin Sian and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lin Sian wiped the blood from his nose, shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on Yi Zhonghai.

This guy usually looks so righteous, but I didn't expect that he would help me at the critical moment?

"Shazhu, calm down. Things are not what you think." Yi Zhonghai said, walked forward and tried to help Shazhu up.

"Get out of here! Don't touch me!" Sha Zhu pushed Yi Zhonghai away, staggered to his feet, pointed at Lin Sian and said, "Lin Sian, just wait! This isn't over yet!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu stumbled out of the yard.

"This..." Qin Huairu looked worriedly at the direction where Sha Zhu left, then looked at Lin Sian, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"Okay, everyone go away." Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and everyone dispersed.

Lin Sian looked at Yi Zhonghai, his heart full of doubts. He didn't believe that Yi Zhonghai helped him out of trouble out of kindness. What was this guy up to?

"Lin Sian, come with me." After saying this, Yi Zhonghai turned and walked towards the backyard.

Lin Sian hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

The two men came to Yi Zhonghai's house. Yi Zhonghai lit the kerosene lamp, and the dim light illuminated the furnishings in the house.

"Please sit down." Yi Zhonghai pointed to the stool beside him.

After Lin Sian sat down, Yi Zhonghai poured him a glass of water and said straight to the point: "Lin Sian, you should know why I am helping you today, right?"

Lin Sian took a sip of water and said, "Master Yi, I don't understand what you mean."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "You don't have to play dumb with me. I know exactly who you are."

Lin Sian was shocked. Could it be that Yi Zhonghai had discovered his secret?

Yi Zhonghai continued, "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. On the contrary, I think we can work together."

"Cooperation?" Lin Sian was even more confused. "Cooperation on what?"

Yi Zhonghai walked to Lin Sian and whispered, "Cooperation...Change this era!"

Lin Sian looked at Yi Zhonghai, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

A cold voice sounded in the yard.

A tall and burly figure stood between Sha Zhu and Lin Sian. The person was none other than Lin Sian, the grandson of the usually taciturn "deaf old lady" in the yard.

Lin Sian grabbed Sha Zhu's waving fist. Sha Zhu felt a huge force coming at him, as if his fist hit an iron wall. The pain made him grimace and sober up a little.

"Lin Sian, are you going to stop me too?!" Sha Zhu glared at Lin Sian with bloodshot eyes and roared at him.

Lin Sian ignored Sha Zhu's anger and said coldly, "Calm down now that you've had enough of the trouble. Your mother wouldn't want to see you like this."

Lin Sian's voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible majesty, which instantly extinguished most of Sha Zhu's originally burning anger. He loosened his fist dejectedly and sat on the ground powerlessly, like a deflated ball.

Lin Sian rubbed his cheek that was hurt from the beating, and looked at Lin Sian with eyes full of gratitude: "Lin Sian, thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have been beaten to death by him today."

Lin Sian glanced at Lin Sian calmly without saying anything, then turned and walked to Qin Huairu, helped her up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Qin Huairu shook her head, but her eyes became red again, and she choked up and said, "I'm fine, thank you..."

"Okay, everyone go away." Lin Sian waved his hand, and the people in the yard looked at each other, and finally dispersed, leaving behind only the mess on the ground and the depressing atmosphere.

Lin Sian looked at Lin Sian's back with complicated eyes. He always knew that Lin Sian and the deaf old lady were very special in this courtyard. They seemed to be out of tune with this era, as if they had traveled from another world.

Especially Lin Sian, he always keeps to himself and is taciturn, but his eyes are very deep, as if he can see through people's hearts. Lin Sian once tried to get close to him and wanted to explore his secrets, but he rejected her.

And today, Lin Sian suddenly came to his rescue, which made Lin Sian even more certain that Lin Sian was definitely not an ordinary person.

In the dead of night, Lin Sian lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His mind kept replaying the scenes that happened tonight, Sha Zhu's madness, Qin Huairu's helplessness, and Lin Sian's coldness...

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and sat up abruptly from the bed.

"Was Jia Zhang's death really just an accident?"

"Stop it all!"

With a loud shout, a figure flew down and landed right between Sha Zhu and Lin Sian. The man was tall and strong, like an iron tower, blocking the two of them and stopping the farce.

"It's Lin Sian! Why is he here?"

"Weiguo! You're here at the right time, come on! Help me teach this kid a lesson!" Xu Damao covered his swollen face from being hit by Sha Zhu, pointed at Lin Sian and said viciously.

Lin Sian ignored Xu Damao and turned to look at Sha Zhu, asking in a deep voice, "Zhu Zi, what's going on? Your mother just left and you made such a fuss. How can she feel at ease down there?"

Sha Zhu looked at Lin Sian, the anger in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by endless sadness and despair. He lowered his head helplessly and choked up, "Brother Weiguo, my mother...my mother..."

Lin Sian patted Sha Zhu's shoulder, sighed, and said, "Zhu Zi, I know you feel bad, but you can't be like this! Look at yourself, what kind of person are you going to let Qin Huairu do? What are you going to do with Bang Geng and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu slowly raised his head and looked at Qin Huairu who was standing beside him.
