Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

After taking a shower, Su Xingchen felt relaxed all over. He hummed a little tune on his way home. Suddenly he remembered that he had not bought tea. If he didn't buy some tea this year, he would need a ticket next year. He didn't know when this broken system could give him a ticket. It was better to rely on himself than to count on it.

Su Xingchen followed the original owner's memory and thought that Zhang Yiyuan was now in Xicheng. If he walked seven or eight kilometers, he would have to walk for an hour or so. Fortunately, there was a bus here. Su Xingchen queued up and got on the bus. At that time, there were not many bus routes, and most residents traveled by walking. Of course, there were few bicycles. After the bus started, the ticket seller walked out of his position, walked in front of people, and sold tickets one by one. "Where are you going?" The ticket seller looked at Su Xingchen and said.

"West City." Su Xingchen replied.

"Two cents, okay, take your ticket." After the ticket seller received Su Xingchen's money, he gave Su Xingchen a two-cent ticket and continued to collect fees from other people.

The road and the bus at that time were so bumpy that Su Xingchen almost vomited. He never gets carsick, but this time he almost vomited.

"We've arrived at Xicheng. Comrades who are getting off the bus can prepare to get off now," the conductor shouted.

Hearing this, Su Xingchen felt as if he heard heavenly music in his ears. He quickly squeezed behind the door and heard a "creak". It was as if the back door, which had not been lubricated for many years, opened. Su Xingchen took a step out and smelled the air outside. Only then did he feel the true meaning of life.

Su Xingchen was about to walk towards Zhang Yiyuan when he heard someone on the bus shouting, "Catch the man in the hat, my wallet was stolen." Su Xingchen turned around and saw the man in the hat next to him running into the crowd without saying a word. As a promising young man in the 21st century, no, it's the 20th century now, he naturally couldn't just leave it alone.

Su Xingchen ran after him, but he didn't notice that there was another young man chasing after him. The thief chased him into the crowd, Su Xingchen had good eyesight, otherwise he would have been thrown off. The three of them chased each other and ran for more than two kilometers without stopping.

The thief may have been unfamiliar with the road conditions and ended up in a dead end.

The thief turned around and looked at Su Xingchen, panting and saying, "Brother, please spare me. Let's split the money in the wallet. He just withdrew money from the bank, so he must have a lot. I followed him all the way here from the bank. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know?"

"Bah, you are such a bastard. You are a thief, and do you think I am a thief too? Hand over your wallet quickly, or you will be in trouble. Your grandpa's fist has no eyes." Su Xingchen said, flexing his fist.

"Then don't blame me for being rude. I gave you the chance, but you didn't cherish it. In that case, then you can die." After saying that, he took out a knife and rushed towards Su Xingchen.

"Get out of the way, it's dangerous." Su Xingchen heard a strange man's voice from behind, and he didn't have time to turn around. Su Xingchen immediately climbed up the wall with his feet, jumped down from the wall, and kicked the thief in the face with his right leg. The thief rushed forward with a knife in his hand, but he didn't expect Su Xingchen to be so fast. He kicked him to the ground with one kick, and the knife in the thief's hand flew out.

The man behind him also ran in, patted Su Xingchen on the shoulder and said, "Comrade, you are not dead, are you?"

Su Xingchen looked puzzled. Before he could speak, the other party said, "Sorry, I was in a hurry and made a slip of the tongue. Are you okay, comrade?"

"It's okay, but let's control him first." After saying that, Su Xingchen was about to step forward, but the man grabbed him. Su Xingchen thought he was going to fight him, and was about to use force, but the man said, "Let me do it, I'm a police officer." As he said that, he took out a pair of handcuffs from his waist and walked in front of the thief. At this time, the thief was still lying on the ground groaning in pain because of Su Xingchen's kick. Without saying a word, the man handcuffed the thief.

"Comrade, what's your name? My name is Xu Tian, ​​and I'm the deputy chief of the police station in this area." Xu Tian picked up the wallet and pulled the thief up. He kicked him on the leg and said, "Why do you have to steal when you can do something else? You won't starve to death even if you carry a lot of bags at the train station."

"My name is Su Xingchen, I live in Nanluoguxiang. Director Xu, do you think there is anything for me to do here? If not, I will leave first. I still have to go shopping." Su Xingchen saw that the thief had been controlled and he had nothing to do, so he spoke.

"No, you have to go to the police station with me to record your statement. If it's convenient for you now, we can go now." Xu Tian said.

"Okay, let's go." Su Xingchen said as he walked out of the dead end with Xu Tian. They happened to meet other police officers from the station who were walking over with the owner of the lost items.

"Captain Xu, you captured this thief all by yourself?" a policeman said when he saw Xu Tian escorting the thief.

"Xiaobin, I really didn't take any action this time. It was Comrade Su who caught him alone. When I arrived, the man was already lying on the ground. I just handcuffed him." Xu Tian said with a smile.

"Comrade, you are quite skilled. It seems we deserve a reward for you." Xiaobin said.

"Of course, it's my duty. I stand up for justice, draw my sword to help others, and speak out when I see injustice." Su Xingchen became interested when he heard the commendation. The commendation at this time was very valuable, and it would be of great benefit to his future career and those stormy days.

Inside the police station

Because he was acting bravely and caught the thief, he didn't ask Su Xingchen too many questions. After asking about what happened, he told Su Xingchen that he could leave.

Su Xingchen was about to leave the police station to buy some tea when Xu Tian called him, "Comrade Xu, I've read the transcript. You live in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Su Xingchen said with a puzzled look.

"It's like this. We'll ask for your address so that we can commend you. We'll go to the street office first, and then go to your hospital to commend you." Xu Tian explained.

"Is that so? Then I will welcome you."

"Don't be anxious. There is one more thing. Are you from the Peking Preschool Teachers College?" Xu Tian asked with a smile.

"Yes, Director Xu, what's the problem?"

"How is that possible? Do you know Xu Mengjie?" Xu Tian said.

"I know him, he's the monitor of our class." Su Xingchen suddenly realized that he couldn't be the monitor's brother. How could it be such a coincidence? "Director Xu, you can't be the monitor's... brother?"

"Hey, you're not stupid, kid? Let's go, since we're all acquaintances, I'll treat you to a meal and chat today. Otherwise, if my younger sister finds out, she'll say that I'm being harsh on you." After Xu Tian finished speaking, he hugged Su Xingchen and walked out the door.
