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

Just when everyone was at a loss and the situation was at a stalemate, Liu Haizhong suddenly thought of a solution.

His brows were furrowed, and the wrinkles on his forehead were like ravines, and each line seemed to hide his inner anxiety.

He paced back and forth continuously, the soles of his shoes rubbing against the ground making a rustling sound. The sound was particularly clear in the silent yard, as if it was the anxious drumbeat of his heart.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly and slapped his head hard with his right hand. The sound was so clear and loud that the people around him shook unconsciously, as if they were startled by this sudden action.

Then he raised his voice and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Got it! Let's fill them with gold juice!"

After saying this, he raised his chin slightly, his nostrils almost pointing to the sky, with a hint of self-righteous pride on his face and his chest puffed out high, as if he had not figured out a way to induce vomiting by pouring feces into the body, but had discovered some amazing treasure.

There was an inexplicable excitement in his eyes, and he looked like a proud rooster showing off his "intelligence" to everyone.

Yi Zhonghai's face was originally full of worry, with his brows twisted into a knot, as if countless troubles were entangled in that knot.

Hearing this, he was stunned at first, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he was digesting this sudden proposal. His brain was working rapidly, trying to understand this seemingly absurd method.

Then, his eyes lit up instantly, like a torch suddenly lit in the darkness, and the light seemed to be able to dispel all the difficulties before him.

He slapped his thigh so hard that the air around him trembled, and said loudly, "This is a good idea!"

The voice was full of excitement, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw in the darkness. The whole person was glowing with an eagerness, and he couldn't wait to implement the plan and save the three members of the Jia family from danger.

In the crowd, a young man looked puzzled and curiously stuck his head out, his eyes full of desire for knowledge and a hint of uneasiness.

He asked, "Second Master, what is this golden juice you are talking about?"

There was a hint of confusion and uneasiness in his voice, as if he had sensed that this was not something pleasant, and he felt vaguely uneasy.

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and deliberately put on an unfathomable look, as if he was a wise man who was about to impart mysterious knowledge.

He explained seriously: "This golden juice is excrement, which is specially used to induce vomiting. Jia Zhang and others ate it and vomited it out, and they will be fine."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on everyone's faces froze instantly, as if they were under a spell.

Some had their brows twisted into knots, their faces filled with confusion and resistance, and their hearts struggling between reason and emotion. On the one hand, they knew they had to save people, but on the other hand, they felt extremely uncomfortable with this method.

Some of them just opened their mouths wide, their eyes bulged, their faces full of disbelief, the word "feces" echoing in their minds, they were so shocked that they were almost speechless.

Others turned their heads away, with a look of disgust and disdain on their faces, and subconsciously took a step back, as if wanting to stay away from this topic and Yi Zhonghai.

The scene was very awkward and solemn, and the atmosphere became a little weird.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The young man also showed an expression of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that his curious question would get such an answer. His heart was filled with confusion and anxiety.

When Xu Damao heard this, he retched in disgust and his body twitched violently as if he was going to vomit out all his internal organs.

His face instantly turned red, like a ripe tomato, and the veins on his forehead popped out, as if earthworms were wriggling under his skin. His body's reactions were completely out of control.

He stretched out his hands and fanned them vigorously in front of his face, as if this could dispel the imaginary stench, and shouted, "How disgusting! Does this thing really work? Don't mess with it, this is just nonsense!"

At this moment, Xu Damao's face was full of disgust and resistance, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were full of anger, as if he was questioning this ridiculous proposal. He wanted to rush up and completely overturn this idea to express his dissatisfaction.

Yan Bugui looked at Xu Damao with a smile, his lips slightly raised with a hint of ridicule. His eyes were like a cunning fox, as if waiting to see Xu Damao make a fool of himself.

He said, "Xu Damao, when you were a child, we gave you golden juice. When you had a stomachache, you had vomiting and diarrhea. You got better after you gave you the golden juice."

These words were like a thunderclap, causing Xu Damao to open his eyes wide and his face to turn pale and red, as if he had been slapped hard in the face.

He jumped up and down and shouted, "You...what did you say? I ate this when I was a kid? Yan Bugui, please don't make fun of me. Why don't I remember this happening?"

The voice had changed tone, filled with collapse and disbelief. As he spoke, he shook his head in disbelief and waved his hands in the air, as if trying to shake off this "dark history."

He looked like a cat whose tail was stepped on, frightened and angry, trying to get rid of the embarrassing memory.

Cao Wei was laughing so hard that he could hardly stand up straight. He slapped his thigh and pointed at Xu Damao and said jokingly: "I didn't expect that Xu Damao had eaten shit!"

The people around couldn't help but laugh, and the originally tense and depressing atmosphere was given a different color because of this absurd conversation.

Some of them covered their mouths and giggled, their shoulders trembling slightly, trying hard to suppress their laughter;

Some laughed so hard that they almost cried, totally disregarding the occasion;

Others laughed and shook their heads, as if they were lamenting this wonderful plot and felt that it all was just an absurd farce.

But soon, everyone's attention returned to the three people from the Jia family.

Everyone's eyes shifted between the painful expressions of the three Jia family members and the "golden juice" that came from nowhere.

Someone whispered, "Will this really work? What if something goes wrong?"

His voice was full of worry. After all, this method sounded too outrageous. It was like groping for an unknown road in the dark, full of uncertainty. No one knew what the consequences of doing so would be.

But some people echoed the suggestions of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, thinking that there was no better way at the moment and they could only give it a try.

After all, seeing the three members of the Jia family struggling on the brink of life and death, no one could bear to give up even a glimmer of hope, and the urgency of saving lives made them willing to try any possibility.

When Xu Damao heard this, a layer of dark aura suddenly appeared on his face. His eyes opened wide and he glared at Cao Wei fiercely. It seemed that his gaze could spew out flames and burn Cao Wei to ashes in an instant.

He cursed angrily: "Cao Wei, stop gloating over my misfortune. If you are really capable, come and try to drink this golden juice for me! Don't stand aside and make sarcastic remarks. If this stuff is poured into your mouth, I'll see if you can still laugh!"

Along with cursing, he also made a loud "Pooh" sound, as if he wanted to spit out the disgust and shame in his heart. The spit, carrying his full dissatisfaction, fell heavily on the floor, as if venting his endless anger.

When Cao Wei heard Xu Damao's angry words, the smile on his face froze instantly, as if the pause button was pressed. The picture froze instantly and time seemed to stop at this moment.

He quickly waved his hands and shook his head, waving them in the air like rattles, as if he was trying to drive away something terrible, trying his best to stay away from this trouble.

He hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I can't do this! You don't know how strong the taste of this golden juice is. I can't stand it just thinking about it. This is more suitable for you, Xu Damao. You have that 'experience' when you were a child. Maybe you can handle it easily this time!"

As Cao Wei spoke, he winked at Xu Damao, looking like he was enjoying the fun, with a cunning look on his face, as if he was watching a wonderful farce, completely ignoring the fact that Xu Damao was shaking with anger.

Xu Damao was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He raised his hand and pointed at Cao Wei with trembling hands. His slightly trembling fingers seemed to tell of his extreme inner anger, and his whole body was shaking slightly with anger.

He was speechless for a long time and could only utter a few angry "you you you".

The people around laughed even harder. Some of them couldn't hold back any more and bent over, covering their stomachs with their hands, almost laughing to tears.

The whole yard was filled with this inappropriate laughter, which formed a sharp contrast with the misery of the Jia family. On one side was a life-and-death emergency, and on the other side was an absurd scene of laughter and play.

Yi Zhonghai stood aside, watching the two men in front of him bickering back and forth like fighting cocks, refusing to give in to each other, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and the already deep wrinkles on his face looked even deeper, like the marks carved out by time with a chisel, clear and eye-catching.

He could no longer bear it, so he suddenly raised his voice and yelled at the top of his lungs, "That's enough, you two, are you done yet? Now is not the time to be talking nonsense, hurry up and find a way to save people! Who's going to get the golden juice?"

Yi Zhonghai's sudden shout was like a thunderclap exploding in the air, shocking everyone present.

The laughter that had just been going on for a while suddenly stopped, as if someone had suddenly pressed the pause button.

The whole yard suddenly became silent, so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly.

At this moment, the only sound that could be heard was the faint moans of the three members of the Jia family coming from the Jia family's house.

Those cries of pain were like heavy hammers, hitting everyone's heart hard.

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one knew how to respond.

Their eyes quickly moved back and forth between each other, but no one dared to speak first.

Everyone lowered their heads silently, as if trying to hide themselves, fearing that they would accidentally become the unlucky person who was chosen to complete this difficult task.

Even Xu Damao, who was usually arrogant and domineering, couldn't help but feel timid when facing Yi Zhonghai's serious and almost cold expression. He no longer dared to refuse as blatantly as before.

He just muttered quietly: "Why should it be me..."

But the voice was so soft that only he could hear it, but his voice was soon drowned out by the noise of everyone's discussion.

Someone suggested drawing lots, with a hint of luck and helplessness in their voice, hoping that this random method would decide who would face this difficult problem;

Some people think that people with greater strength should be allowed to do the work, and their tone is full of rational analysis, believing that people with greater strength may be more convenient during the operation.

For a moment, everyone started arguing with each other, while the three people from the Jia family who were lying on the cart were groaning in pain.

The voice was weak but full of despair, as if urging everyone to make a decision quickly.

Their lives are slipping away bit by bit, and every second is extremely precious.

Yi Zhonghai looked at everyone, who were looking at each other with an indifferent look, his heart full of helplessness and anxiety.

His eyes revealed fatigue and helplessness, like a traveler lost in the dark, not knowing where to go.

He knew that time was pressing and the situation of the three members of the Jia family was critical, so they could not afford to continue in this stalemate.

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind that since no one was willing to help, he would go by himself.

He turned around and strode towards the toilet outside the courtyard.

The afternoon sun is somewhat dazzling, like countless needles piercing the earth, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

The alley was quiet, with only the sound of his hurried footsteps, "tat tat tat", as if it was a tense piece of music, and every step weighed on everyone's heart.

Just as he was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, Cao Wei's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Uncle, don't leave yet!"

Yi Zhonghai stopped and turned around in confusion, only to see Cao Wei smiling. That smile was like a blooming fake flower, hypocritical and unnatural.

Cao Wei walked towards him quickly.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me what's going on. Saving people is the most important thing."

There was a hint of anxiety and impatience in his voice, as if he was blaming Cao Wei for interrupting him. At this moment, he just wanted to get the gold juice as soon as possible to save the three members of the Jia family.

Cao Wei ran up to Yi Zhonghai with a cunning look on his face, like a cat stealing fish, and seemed to be up to something.

He lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, there is no need to go so far to get the golden juice. We can just use the materials right here."

Yi Zhonghai was even more confused after hearing this. His brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character and he asked, "Using local materials? What does that mean?"

His eyes were full of confusion and vigilance, as if he was guarding against Cao Wei's evil ideas. He knew that Cao Wei always played by his own rules.

Cao Wei chuckled, pointed his finger at Jia Zhang and the others lying on the cart, and said, "Look, they have all opened their trouser pockets. The dirt on them is the ready-made gold juice!"

Yi Zhonghai looked in the direction of Cao Wei's finger.

There were indeed mottled marks on the crotch of Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu and Banggeng, and they emitted a disgusting smell.

The smell seemed to be able to penetrate into people's internal organs, making people feel uncomfortable all over, as if the whole world was shrouded in this stench.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned very ugly in an instant. It turned pale at first, as if all the blood had been drained out. He was stunned and couldn't believe what he heard.

Then his face turned red again and he looked at Cao Wei with a dark face.

He never imagined that Cao Wei would come up with such a ridiculous idea.

He cursed secretly in his heart: This kid is so mean and mean, why does he always come up with all kinds of crooked ideas at the critical moment, this is just nonsense!

Jia Zhang and the others became like this because they ate dirty things. If we really pour the dirty things they excreted into their mouths, it would be adding insult to injury. I guess they will really be beyond help.

The more Yi Zhonghai thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared at Cao Wei fiercely. His eyes seemed to be able to swallow Cao Wei alive, full of anger and disappointment.

He snorted twice, his voice full of dissatisfaction and rebuke, as if conveying his anger and disappointment to Cao Wei.

He was too lazy to say anything more to Cao Wei, so he turned around and continued walking towards the toilet.

Only Cao Wei was left standing there, touching his nose with an embarrassed look on his face. It seemed that his plan was not adopted and his little calculations fell through. He could only helplessly watch Yi Zhonghai's departing back.
