The alley is narrow and damp, but the small courtyard at the end is better than expected.

The house has obviously been cleaned, it is clean and tidy, and the furniture and appliances are all available. It is obvious that they are all newly purchased.

It seems that he still has some uses for Long Dao.

Xu Shi twitched the corners of his mouth silently, which was a good thing. As long as he can still be used in Long Dao's eyes, then Long Dao's line is not completely abandoned. Perhaps this line can be used again in the future.

After Xiaohe dropped them off, he didn't stay much. He briefly talked about the surrounding area, left them a business card, told them to contact them if they had anything, and then left.

After he left, Xu Shi asked Taxi to stand outside the yard with his mobile phone, while he dialed Taxi's number and started walking around the house.

After walking around, I didn't hear any unusual electromagnetic fluctuations.

Xu Shi searched carefully and found no listening or monitoring equipment.

Then, he walked out of the yard and wandered around the alley, roughly taking note of the roads and surveillance conditions around the yard.

Behind this yard is a hand-dug river with no road. But the river is not deep and its surface is not wide. At this time in April, the river had thawed and the water was green and faint. On the other side of the river is a small square. Some willow trees are planted on the bank. Green buds are now sprouting on the thin willow branches.

On both sides of the yard, on one side is a towering house wall, three or four meters high, with no points to draw strength from. There are several similar courtyards connected to the other side, but it is also a dead end. In front are some old two-story houses.

In other words, the only way in and out of this courtyard is the alley.

What a 'nice' place. It seems that the people who found this place put a lot of thought into it.

However, it was impossible to trap Xu Shi in such a place. But Xu Shi now has a follower. He can't trap Xu Shi, but he can trap Taxi.

Xu Shi couldn't help but frown slightly when he thought of this.

In everything, there are gains and losses.

This concern was quickly forgotten by Xu Shi.

He is not a person who likes to regret, not to mention that when he decided to bring Taxi over, he had not considered similar situations.

There is a surveillance camera at the entrance of the alley. It looks very new, maybe it is newly installed.

The family next door also installed a surveillance camera in their yard. Although the angle was not directly facing their yard, it could still illuminate their yard.

After Xu Shi remembered all this in his heart, he returned to the yard.

Tassie had almost put everything away, except for his backpack.

"Go out for a walk, get familiar with the surroundings, and then come back with some dinner." Xu Shi said.

Tassie said hello and left.

Xu Shi thought for a while and called him again: "Pay attention to the situation. If you find someone following you, call me."

Tasi nodded.

After he left, Xu Shi took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Longdao: The courtyard is nice, thank you. Don’t forget about your new identity.

Long Dao didn't reply, and Xu Shi didn't expect him to.

He re-examined the wound, changed the dressing, and took anti-inflammatory tablets before lying down on the bed prepared by Taxi and starting to rest.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Tassie came back with dinner.

He said no one was following him along the way. He also said that the Central City is indeed very close. He just went there to take a look and it only takes six minutes to walk there.

Xu Shi listened quietly, humming from time to time.

After eating, Taxi looked at the sky and wanted to go out for a walk to get familiar with the surroundings. Xu Shi didn't stop him.

They had just arrived here, and even if Xiahap wanted to take action, they would not know this place so quickly, so it was safe for Taxi to go out now.

As for whether Long Dao would take action, Xu Shi wasn't worried.

If he really wanted to take action against Long Dao, he would have taken action directly after seeing that he was injured. Even along the way, they had many opportunities, such as at that hotel. Xu Shi chose to spend the night there, partly because of physical reasons, and partly because he wanted to test whether Long Dao would attack him.

Since Long Dao didn't make a move along the way, then after arriving here, Long Dao will basically not make a move, at least not in a short period of time.

Therefore, when Taxi wanted to go out, Xu Shi did not stop him. Taking advantage of this short period of calm, it would not be a bad thing for the two of them to get familiar with the surrounding situation as soon as possible.

Tassie didn't stay outside for long and came back after dark.

A night of silence.

At around five o'clock the next morning, after Xu Shi got up as usual, he woke up Taxi too.

Taxi rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the expressionless Xu Shi at the door. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "Brother, what happened?"

Xu Shi looked at him: "Didn't you say you wanted to practice a few moves with me?"

After Taxi was stunned for a moment, he suddenly lost all sleep, and his eyes were bright: "Brother, you want to teach me?"

"Let's see if you can endure hardship first!" Xu Shi replied.

When Taxi heard this, he nodded hastily: "I can endure hardship!"

Xu Shi chuckled: "Don't say this too early! Go wash your face and come out. I'll wait for you in the yard!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Tassie was behind her, her face full of joy.

However, half an hour later, all these excitements disappeared, leaving only the twisted face, sweating profusely, and the pain of gritting one's teeth to persevere.

The horse stance is every beginner's nightmare.

Tassie too.

Taxi looked at Xu Shi more than once. At this time, he had begun to box next to him. The punches were slow or fast, hard or soft. Taxi couldn't understand it, but he could vaguely feel this set of punches. Xu Shi had practiced it very well. Okay, great.

His body began to sway and he might collapse at any moment.

At this time, Xu Shi glanced over and said calmly: "There are still five minutes left. If you can't even endure this little hardship, you don't have to study!"

When Taxi heard this, the looseness in his eyes immediately disappeared, and his body that was still swaying just now was forcibly stabilized again.

The sweat on my forehead dropped one drop after another.

His hands and feet were spasming uncontrollably.

But he never thought of giving up.

What does this little hardship mean compared to my sister’s life?

Five minutes is a short time, but to Tassie, it seems like a lifetime.

Finally, Xu Shi said: "The time has come."

Taxi's suppressed strength suddenly relaxed, and he fell backwards to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Xu Shi ignored him and continued boxing on his own.

After a while, Xu Shi finished a set of punches, then turned to look at Taxi and said: "Get up and walk around the yard for half an hour. Then take a hot bath, and then buy breakfast."

Taxi's hands and feet were sore at this time that he couldn't move at all. But after hearing Xu Shi's words, he gritted his teeth and tried to stand up and started walking around the yard. At first, every step was painful, but soon, I slowly relaxed and walked to the back. Although the pain was still there, it became tolerable.

At the end of half an hour, Taxi took a shower consciously and then went out to buy breakfast.

After coming back, after the two of them had breakfast, Xu Shi wrote a list and sent Taxi out to make purchases. Xu Shi himself left the yard after Taxi went out.
