Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

Only after Jia Zhang's figure gradually disappeared from her sight did Yu Li gently close the door, making a slight and crisp sound.

She turned around and her eyes fell directly on Cao Wei.

At this moment, Yu Li's beautiful face was full of doubts.

Her two curved willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if there were two small peaks lying between them.

And the space between the eyebrows seemed to hide countless small question marks, which were eager to jump out and find out the truth.

"Cao Wei, you have always had a lot of grievances with Jia Zhang's family. Why are you so kind today and even sent them some fruit? This is really not in line with your usual style!"

As Yu Li spoke, she walked in front of Cao Wei and stared at him, as if she wanted to see through his eyes what he was really thinking deep down.

Facing Li's rapid-fire questions, Cao Wei simply smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm and gentle as the sunshine in spring.

He stood up slowly and calmly, then slowly sat back in the chair next to him.

The whole movement was smooth and natural, and seemed particularly unhurried.

After sitting down, Cao Wei stretched out his right hand and steadily picked up the cup of hot tea on the table.

He first brought the cup close to his mouth, carefully blew away the tea leaves floating on the surface, and then took a small sip.

Suddenly, a stream of hot air rose up and floated upwards.

At the same time, the fresh and elegant tea fragrance quickly spread in the air, penetrating into people's nasal cavity, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"Yu Li, don't worry. Everything will come out naturally in the evening."

Cao Wei put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at Yu Li, and spoke in an understated but mysterious tone.

However, his vague and ambiguous answer obviously did not satisfy Yu Li.

On the contrary, Yu Li's brows furrowed even tighter, and her eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot.

She took a step forward, folding her arms across her chest, her tone slightly curious.

"So what are you planning on doing? Those fruits are pretty fresh."

Cao Wei put down the teacup, and the crisp "click" sound was particularly obvious in the quiet room.

There was a meaningful smile on his face, and that smile seemed to hide some unknown secret.

"Yu Li, you are too naive. I, Cao Wei, am not a good man. The Jia Zhang family has offended me many times in the past. How could I help them sincerely?"

After hearing this, Yu Li's eyes became more confused. She tilted her head slightly, and a hint of alertness flashed in her eyes.

"Then why did you give them fruit? Is there something wrong with the fruit?"

Cao Wei smiled, and there was a hint of cunning in that smile, like a cat that had stolen some fish.

There was a subtle light flashing in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "You guessed right. However, I didn't tamper with the fruit. I just sent them meat and fruit out of kindness, but I don't know if they will have any problems eating them."

“Is there really something wrong with that fruit?”

Cao Wei smiled faintly and said, "The fruits we give them are all good, but it's not okay to eat the two together."

"What do you mean?" Yu Li looked at Cao Wei with suspicion. Her beautiful big eyes were full of confusion at the moment. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her rosy lips slightly opened, and there was a hint of surprise in her voice.

"Who would have thought that eating crabs with persimmons and pears would cause problems?"

Cao Wei had a sly smile on his face as he explained slowly, "Liu Haizhong and the others also ate crabs, but they didn't eat persimmons, so naturally they're fine. As for the Jia Zhang family, if they really got an upset stomach, they can only blame themselves for not knowing how to match their diet." After saying that, he winked at Yu Li smugly.

When Yu Li heard this, she was shocked and her beautiful eyes widened into a circle, almost popping out of her head.

In addition to shock, there was more disbelief in his eyes, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"Cao Wei, you...you are deliberately making them sick!"

Yu Li's voice unconsciously rose an octave, and her delicate body began to tremble slightly.

"If something really happens, how can we bear the responsibility?"

Cao Wei, however, seemed to not care at all. He just waved his hand nonchalantly, and the action was extremely casual.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth were still raised, and his tone was still relaxed: "Oh, don't worry, nothing serious will happen. At most, they will just be uncomfortable for a night, just think of it as a small lesson for them. Besides, I sent so much fruit, they will definitely not be able to finish it in a short time."

"When the time comes, if someone else tastes the persimmons, they won't suspect me. Who would have thought that it was a problem of eating crabs and persimmons together?"

After hearing this, Yu Li still felt a little uneasy. She paced back and forth in the room, muttering to herself.

"Cao Wei, aren't you going too far? Jia Zhang's family is having a hard time right now. Even if we don't help them, we shouldn't harm them."

Cao Wei sneered, with a hint of disdain in his laugh, as if he was mocking Yu Li's naivety.

"Yu Li, you are too soft-hearted. You know how the Jia Zhang family treated me in the past. I am only giving them a small lesson this time, which is already considered as showing mercy."

The night was like a huge piece of black silk, gently but resolutely covering the entire yard. Everything in the yard was shrouded in this thick darkness.

Only the light in Jia Zhang's house seemed particularly dim in the darkness, and the weak light seemed like it would be swallowed up by the darkness at any time.

Banggeng was originally wolfing down the fruits he brought back from Cao Wei's house. His little face was filled with a satisfied smile, which was as bright and innocent as a flower blooming in spring.

But suddenly, his face turned pale, as if all the blood had been drained out of it. He held his stomach tightly with both hands, and his painful expression seemed as if he was under great torture.

"Grandma, my stomach hurts..."

Banggeng's voice was weak and trembling, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which flickered faintly under the dim light.

At first, Jia Zhang didn't care too much. She just frowned and showed a hint of anger on her face.

"You kid, you don't usually eat anything good. If you eat too much at once, your stomach won't be able to handle it. Just bear with it."

However, Banggeng's situation did not improve as Jia Zhang had expected.

After a while, he started running to the toilet frequently, his steps staggering, and every step felt like he was stepping on cotton, empty and unstable.

As time went by, Banggeng's face became paler and paler, and his already thin body looked even more fragile.

He held his stomach tightly with both hands, as if this could ease the pain a little.

Every time he came back from the toilet, the pain on his face became more and more intense, his brows were twisted into a knot, and there were more and more beads of sweat on his forehead, which slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

"Grandma, my stomach hurts... I want to go to the toilet again..."

Banggeng's voice was weak and trembling. After he finished speaking, he covered his stomach and staggered towards the toilet.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

She began to realize that the situation was not as simple as she had thought.

Is it really a stomach upset? Or is there something else wrong?

She was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should see a doctor.

But then she thought again, it would cost a lot of money to hire a doctor, and she felt reluctant to do so.

In this way, Bang Geng suffered in pain, and every trip to and from the toilet felt like a difficult journey.

His strength seemed to be drained away bit by bit, and he became weak. Jia Zhang was waiting anxiously, her heart full of contradictions and helplessness.

Seeing Banggeng in pain, Jia Zhang felt a little anxious, but she still comforted herself that the child had a stomach upset and would be fine after a bowel movement.

But before she could react, Banggeng came back from the bathroom again, his face was even paler, almost transparent, and he even started to dry heave, and he was vomiting and having diarrhea.

He lay on the edge of the bed, vomiting violently. He seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He didn't even have the strength to speak and could only make weak groans.

His body curled up into a ball and kept shaking, as if he was in an ice cellar, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.

This time, Jia Zhang was really panicked!

I saw her hurriedly holding the stick, her hands shaking.

The voice was filled with heartache and panic, as if it was about to overflow.

"Oh my goodness, my dear, what the hell is wrong with you? Did you eat something bad?"

As Jia Zhang asked, she stared at Banggeng's little face which had turned pale and distorted due to pain.

However, Banggeng just shook his head gently, and his weak voice was as faint as the buzzing of a mosquito or fly.

"Grandma, I... my stomach hurts so badly, I feel... I feel like I'm going to die..."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang's heart suddenly tightened, and it hurt as if someone was grabbing it tightly.

At this moment, Jia Zhang was looking at her grandson in such pain, feeling extremely anxious, helpless and at a loss as to what to do.

She was as anxious as a headless fly in this small room, pacing back and forth, muttering all the time.

"What shall we do? What shall we do? Oh, God, please keep our Banggeng safe and sound!"

Just when Jia Zhang was anxious and at a loss, suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.

So, she lowered her head and said to Bang Geng anxiously, "My dear grandson, you just grit your teeth and bear with it. I...I will go out and find someone to help us!"

Before she finished her words, Jia Zhang turned around without hesitation and rushed to the door like a gust of wind.

She was seen stumbling, stumbling, running and running out of the house, and running straight towards Yi Zhonghai's house opposite.

Jia Zhang ran until she was panting and out of breath, but she did not dare to stop for even a second. She had only one thought in her mind - to quickly find someone to save her poor little Bang Geng!

Finally, they ran to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house with great difficulty. Without even taking a breath, Jia Zhang raised her hand and started knocking on the door desperately.

The "bang bang bang" knocking sound on the door sounded extremely loud and harsh in the silent night, as if it could penetrate the sky and wake up the entire sleeping world!

"Uncle, please open the door! My Banggeng and Dongxu have stomachaches. Please help them!"

The night was as dark as ink and everything was silent, but this hoarse cry split the night sky like thunder.
