Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Sha Zhu looked at the little girl crying and felt very upset. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Yudong, this money..."

"What's wrong with this money? Why should we return the money that this little liar cheated?" He Yudong said disapprovingly.

"But...she said she wanted to treat her mother's illness..." Sha Zhu wanted to say something but was interrupted by He Yudong.

"Sha Zhu, you are just too kind! There are a lot of bad people these days, so don't be fooled by them!" He Yudong pulled Sha Zhu and walked out.

Sha Zhu had no choice but to follow He Yudong out of the pub.

The little girl looked at the two people leaving and cried even more sadly.

He Yudong and Sha Zhu went to another pub and continued drinking.

"Yudong, weren't you... a little too much just now?" Sha Zhu couldn't help but ask.

He Yudong took a sip of wine and said disdainfully: "Too much? I'm teaching her a lesson! Let her know that lying is wrong!"

"But...she's just a child..." Sha Zhu sighed.

"Child? Humph, kids nowadays are so cunning! Don't be fooled by her!" He Yudong said.

Sha Zhu shook his head, stopped talking, and drank silently.

He Yudong felt a little unhappy when he saw Sha Zhu's unhappy look. He patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Sha Zhu, you are too soft-hearted! In this day and age, being soft-hearted will bring you harm!"

Sha Zhu smiled bitterly, "I know, but..."

"No buts! Just follow me from now on, and I promise you'll have the best food and the best drinks!" He Yudong said proudly.

"Follow you?" Sha Zhu looked at He Yudong puzzledly.

"That's right! Follow me and I promise you will never be bullied again!" He Yudong said solemnly.

Sha Zhu looked at He Yudong's confident look and felt a little shaken.

"Yudong, what...what do you want to do?" asked Sha Zhu.

He Yudong smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, the secret cannot be revealed! But I promise, if you follow me, you will never regret it!"

The two continued to drink, He Yudong kept instilling in Sha Zhu the idea that "stunning is the hard truth", and told him some tips on how to use the system to gain points and exchange items. Sha Zhu was stunned and full of longing for the "bright future" mentioned by He Yudong.

After three rounds of drinking, Sha Zhu was already a little drunk. He looked at He Yudong and said with a dazed look: "Yudong, you...you are really my good brother!"

He Yudong patted Sha Zhu's shoulder and said meaningfully: "Sha Zhu, just follow me from now on! I promise that your life will get better and better in the future!"

Sha Zhu nodded dazedly, then fell headfirst onto the table, unconscious.

He Yudong looked at the drunk Sha Zhu and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Silly Zhu, oh silly Zhu, you are so easy to fool!" He Yudong said to himself, "From now on, you will just be my chess piece!"

He stood up, walked to the door of the tavern, and shouted outside: "Someone, take this man away!"

Two burly men came in and carried Sha Zhu out.

He Yudong watched Sha Zhu being carried away, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Next, it's time to deal with that little beggar..."

He Yudong turned and left the pub, disappearing into the night.

He came to a secluded alley and found the little girl, who was huddled in the corner, shivering.

"Little beggar, do you still remember me?" He Yudong looked down at her.

The little girl raised her head and saw He Yudong. She turned pale with fright and backed away.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to beat you today." He Yudong squatted down and showed a "kind" smile, "I just want to make a deal with you."

The little girl looked at him warily, "What...what deal?"

"It's very simple. If you help me do one thing, I will return your money to you." He Yudong said.

The little girl hesitated, "What is it?"

He Yudong leaned close to her ear and whispered something. After hearing this, the little girl's face changed drastically and she looked at him in horror.

"What do you think? Do you agree?" He Yudong asked with a smile.

The little girl bit her lip and said nothing.

He Yudong continued, "Don't worry, this is a simple matter and there is no danger. As long as you help me do this, I will return your money and give you more."

There was a trace of struggle in the little girl's eyes, but she finally nodded.

"Very good!" He Yudong smiled with satisfaction. "Tomorrow night, come to the courtyard to find me, and I will tell you exactly what to do."

After saying that, He Yudong turned and left the alley.

The little girl looked at He Yudong's departing back, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety. She didn't know what she was about to face, but she knew that she had no choice...

He Yudong sneered and increased the strength of his hand, pinching the little girl's arm so hard that it hurt. "Little liar? I see that you are delicate and tender, and you don't look like you haven't eaten for a few days!"

The little girl cried out in pain and looked at He Yudong with tears in her eyes, "Uncle, I really didn't lie to you... I really haven't eaten for several days..."

Sha Zhu couldn't bear it, so he pulled He Yudong's sleeve and said, "Yudong, forget it, give her something to eat..."

He Yudong glanced at Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, you are still so easily fooled! This little girl is obviously pretending! Believe it or not, if you give her money, she will immediately run to buy candied haws!"

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Even if she is a liar, she is still a poor child... Giving her something to eat won't cost you a piece of meat..."

He Yudong sighed and let go of the little girl's arm. "Okay, okay, you are kind and great! I don't care!"

Sha Zhu took out a few bills from his pocket and handed them to the little girl, "Use them to buy something to eat!"

The little girl took the money, said thank you timidly, turned around and ran out of the tavern.

He Yudong looked at the little girl's back and sneered, "Silly Zhu, I bet you that this little girl will definitely not go to buy food!"

Sha Zhu sighed, "Yudong, you have changed..."

He Yudong laughed, "Change? I've become smarter! Unlike you, you're still so stupid!"

Sha Zhu didn't say anything, just drank silently.

Seeing this, He Yudong said nothing more and the two continued drinking.

After a few bottles of wine, Sha Zhu's face flushed and his eyes became blurry. He looked at He Yudong and suddenly asked, "Yudong, can your system... really exchange for immortality?"

He Yudong smiled mysteriously, "Of course! As long as you have enough points, not to mention immortality, even becoming an immortal or a Buddha is not impossible!"

Sha Zhu was stunned when he heard this, his eyes full of desire, "Then...how can I get points?"

He Yudong chuckled, "This is a secret! But since you are my brother, I can tell you another method..."

He Yudong leaned close to Sha Zhu's ear and whispered, "Did you see that little beggar just now? As long as you..."

He Yudong whispered a few words in Sha Zhu's ear, and Sha Zhu's eyes became brighter and brighter. Finally, he slammed the table excitedly, "Okay! Let's do it!"

The two men left the pub, and Sha Zhu followed He Yudong's instructions and found the little girl.

The little girl was squatting on the street corner eating a steamed bun. When she saw Sha Zhu, she was so scared that she hid quickly.

Sha Zhu chuckled and grabbed the little girl, "Don't be afraid, little girl! I'm not a bad person!"

The little girl was trembling with fear, "What...what are you going to do?"

Sha Zhu showed a kind smile, "Let me ask you, do you want to make a lot of money?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, "Big money?"

"That's right! As long as you do me a small favor, I will give you a lot of money!" Sha Zhu tempted.

The little girl hesitated, "What help?"

Sha Zhu leaned close to the little girl's ear and whispered something.

After hearing this, the little girl's eyes widened, "This...this won't do!"

Sha Zhu's face darkened, "What? You don't want to? Then I'll hand you over to the police and accuse you of stealing!"

The little girl was so scared that she started crying, "No...I...I promise you..."

Sha Zhu then smiled with satisfaction, "That's right! Be good, as long as you listen to me, you will have endless wealth and glory in the future!"

The next day, something big happened in the courtyard.

Jia Zhang ran to the yard early in the morning, crying and shouting, "My money! My money is gone! It must have been stolen by Sha Zhu! Damn it, he stole my retirement money!"

People in the yard gathered around and talked about it.

Sha Zhu heard the noise and came out, looking at Jia Zhang blankly, "Aunt Jia, what did you say? I stole your money? What evidence do you have?"

Jia Zhang pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and scolded, "How dare you quibble! I clearly put the money under the bed last night, but it disappeared this morning! Who else would steal my money except you!"

Sha Zhu sneered, "Aunt Jia, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! If you don't have any evidence, don't smear others!"

Jia Zhang cried even harder, "My money! My pension money! Shazhu, you damned bastard, you will die a miserable death!"

At this moment, a little girl came out timidly, holding a cloth bag in her hand and handed it to Jia Zhang, "Grandma, your money..."

Jia Zhang snatched the cloth bag, opened it and saw that there was not a penny missing from the money inside.

"This...what's going on?" Jia Zhang was stunned.

The little girl pointed at Shazhu and said, "Brother Shazhu asked me to hide the money. He said he wanted to give you a surprise..."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Sha Zhu's face turned pale instantly. He never thought that he would be tricked by a little girl!

He Yudong stood in the crowd, looking at Sha Zhu's embarrassment, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sha Zhu glared at He Yudong fiercely. He knew that all this was He Yudong's conspiracy!

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to everyone: "I...I did play a joke on the little girl...I didn't expect it would cause such a big misunderstanding..."
