"Awen, will our door be locked from now on?"
"Lock it, why don't you lock it? It's worth a fortune to break a house. It's too late to regret it if you lose something."
If there are women at home who don't go to work, they naturally don't care about the problem of not being able to lock the door. It won't have any impact on them. It's very uncomfortable for people like Su Wen.
The second uncle was in a very unhappy mood after returning home. He only said a few words at the beginning of today's hospital meeting, and the limelight was taken away by Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui. He wanted to beat his son, but after searching around for a while, he couldn't find him. When I got up, my two younger sons were driven to the middle courtyard by me. There was nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, so he smashed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground.
The Liu brothers who lived in the east side room of the central courtyard heard the sound of their father's bowl breaking across the wall in the backyard. The two looked at each other and smiled. They had escaped from the devil's cave.
Tonight, the ones keeping watch at the concierge were Jia Dongxu and Silly Zhu. Late at night, Silly Zhu’s snoring was loud. Jia Dongxu got dressed sneakily, said hello to Yi Zhonghai, opened the door and left the courtyard. He was going to buy something on the black market. food.
Jia Dongxu took the twenty-five yuan that Yi Zhonghai lent him and carefully came to a ghost market. He took out a cloth bag from his pocket and put his head in it. There were two holes that had been dug long ago. Eye position.
Jia Dongxu was lucky today. He bought 20 kilograms of cornmeal in the black market. After leaving the black market, Jia Dongxu sped away. After passing through several alleys, Jia Dongxu felt that he might have been targeted.
Jia Dongxu's heart beat faster, and he knew he couldn't panic. Seeing an opportunity, he quickly turned into a narrow alley, trying to avoid the sight of those people. There were rapid footsteps behind him, and Jia Dongxu became even more convinced that he was being watched.
He knew that there was an abandoned courtyard house in this alley. Jia Dongxu opened the door without hesitation, ducked in, and then closed the door gently.
Behind the door is a dilapidated small yard filled with debris. Jia Dongxu took a deep breath to calm down.
Jia Dongxu found a hidden corner in the yard, hid the cloth bags and cornmeal behind the debris, and then covered it with some old wooden boards. After he finished all this, he waited quietly.
After a while, the footsteps outside gradually faded away, and Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had dodged a bullet for the time being. But he also understood that he could not stay here for long and had to leave as soon as possible.
Jia Dongxu quietly opened the door, stuck his head out and looked outside. After confirming that no one was there, he quickly left the small courtyard with cornmeal on his back.
However, the devil is always taller than the Taoist. As soon as he turned the corner of an alley, Jia Dongxu saw three people holding wooden sticks looking at him.
Jia Dongxu's heartbeat accelerated instantly, but he tried to stay calm. He hugged the cornmeal tightly to his back and looked around for any possibility of escape.
These three people looked fierce and cunning. They slowly approached Jia Dongxu, with a ferocious smile on their faces. One of them said in a hoarse voice: "Boy, hand over what you have, and we can let you go."
Jia Dongxu understood that they came for cornmeal. He quickly thought about how to deal with this unexpected situation.
Jia Dongxu pretended to be scared and said with a trembling voice: "This...this is my family's ration. I beg you to let me go." As he spoke, he secretly observed the surrounding environment.
The three men seemed not to be moved by Jia Dongxu's plea for mercy, and they continued to approach. A hint of cunning flashed in Jia Dongxu's eyes, and he suddenly rushed in one direction.
The three people were startled by Jia Dongxu's sudden move. They reacted quickly and chased after him waving the wooden sticks in their hands.
Jia Dongxu shuttled among the alleys. He was familiar with the terrain here, just like his own backyard. He took advantage of the terrain and continued to dodge the attacks of these three people.
After the chase continued for a while, Jia Dongxu was forced to a dead end. He leaned against the wall, facing these three people, feeling very scared.
The three people looked at Jia Dongxu with fierce expressions on their faces. One of them waved a wooden stick and said fiercely: "Boy, you can't run anymore, hand over your things! We don't want to kill people, don't force me."
Jia Dongxu picked up a brick from the ground to express his attitude. Jia Dongxu held the brick tightly in his hand and faced the three villains in front of him. His voice was trembling but extremely firm: "I tell you, this thing is I will never give my family’s rations to you. If you want it, just get it based on your ability!"
The three of them were stunned by Jia Dongxu's firm attitude. They obviously did not expect that this seemingly timid guy would have such determination. One of them said fiercely: "Okay, we will help you!" After saying that, they waved the wooden sticks in their hands and rushed towards Jia Dongxu.
Although Jia Dongxu was scared, he did not give up. He knew that he could not fall. His mother, wife, and children were all waiting for him to return with food rations.
After all, it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. Jia Dongxu fell down and the cornmeal was snatched away. An hour later, Jia Dongxu, covered in blood, staggered back to the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai heard the knock on the door and opened the door for Jia Dongxu. Seeing Jia Dongxu's appearance, Yi Zhonghai was startled. He hurriedly helped Jia Dongxu to the concierge. Silly Zhu was also woken up. Seeing Jia Dongxu's appearance, Silly Zhu thought there was a thief. After entering the courtyard, grab the stick on the head of the bed and rush out.
Yi Zhonghai hurriedly stopped Shazhu and explained to him.
"Brother Dongxu is so dangerous. Why didn't you call me to join you? You are so dangerous alone. With me here, we will definitely be able to beat the three of them." Silly Zhu said fiercely, waving the stick in his hand.
"Dongxu, how are you? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Yi Zhonghai asked worriedly. Jia Dongxu shook his head and said, "I'm fine, it's all skin injuries. They didn't want to kill me for food. Master's cornmeal was taken away. How will I live in the future?"
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said firmly: "Dongxu, don't worry, there is still a master. I won't starve you if I have something to eat. You can't go to this black market in the future, it's too dangerous."
When Jia Dongxu heard Yi Zhonghai's words, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He looked at him gratefully and said, "Master, thank you."
Yi Zhonghai patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, we will find a way. The most important thing now is that you recover from your injuries and don't think too much."
As Jia Dongxu's clothes were taken off one by one, Jia Dongxu's injuries exceeded Yi Zhonghai's expectations. Yi Zhonghai's eyes were full of shock and pain. He didn't expect Jia Dongxu's injury to be so serious. The bruises left by the sticks crisscrossed Jia Dongxu's body. Some were broken and bleeding, while others were bruised and bruised. Yi Zhonghai's hand gently touched the wounds, and Jia Dongxu couldn't help but take a breath.
"Dongxu, please be patient, I'll find a truck to take you to the hospital." Yi Zhonghai's voice was trembling, and he immediately picked up his coat and hurried out the door.
