Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Just as He Yudong and the black cat were fighting over the yellow croaker, an old yellow dog slowly came over. This old yellow dog was a common stray dog ​​in the yard, usually lazy and not very noticeable. But today, for some reason, it actually stared at the fight between He Yudong and the black cat, with a hint of curiosity and vigilance in its eyes.

He Yudong saw the old yellow dog coming over and said with a smile, "Why, are you also interested in this small yellow croaker?" The old yellow dog ignored He Yudong, but slowly approached the small yellow croaker on the ground, sniffed it, as if judging the value of this thing.

Seeing this, the black cat meowed alertly, arched its body, and its hair stood up, obviously full of hostility towards the approach of the old yellow dog. He Yudong thought this scene was a little funny, but he didn't dare to be careless. He knew that this small yellow croaker was not simple and must not be allowed to fall into the hands of any unknown creature.

"It seems we have to solve this problem quickly." He Yudong said to himself, and then reached out to catch the small yellow croaker. However, the black cat and the old yellow dog acted almost at the same time, and a fierce battle suddenly broke out among the three.

While fighting with the black cat and the old yellow dog for the small yellow croaker, He Yudong was thinking about how to end the chaos as soon as possible. He suddenly thought that the old yellow dog seemed to be very sensitive to food, so maybe he could use food to divert its attention.

So He Yudong quickly returned to the house, took out a piece of bacon, held it in his hand, waved it, and said to the old yellow dog with a smile: "Come, eat this."

As expected, the old yellow dog was attracted by the smell of bacon and immediately gave up the fight for the small yellow croaker and turned his attention to the bacon in He Yudong's hand. He Yudong took the opportunity to throw the bacon far away, and the old yellow dog immediately chased after it. The fight between He Yudong and the black cat suddenly reduced one opponent.

He Yudong breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to the black cat, "Now there are only two of us left, let's see who can get the small yellow croaker." A sly look flashed in the black cat's eyes, and it quickly pounced on the small yellow croaker. He Yudong was not to be outdone, and quickly reached out to grab it.

Just when the two were about to touch the small yellow croaker, a silver light flashed, and the claws of He Yudong and the black cat stopped in the air. He Yudong looked up and saw that it was Qin Huairu, who was holding a silver knife in her hand and looking at them with a smile.

"What are you doing?" Qin Huairu asked with a smile, "You are fighting so fiercely for such a small piece of yellow croaker."

He Yudong smiled awkwardly and said, "This small yellow croaker is not simple. It is a treasure I found in the tunnel."

Qin Huairu looked at the small yellow croaker, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes. She leaned over to pick up the small yellow croaker, examined it carefully, and then said, "It is indeed a good thing, with fine carvings. It should be an antique. However, the two of you have been arguing over it, but there is no result."

The black cat meowed, seeming to agree with Qin Huairu's evaluation. He Yudong sighed and said, "You are right, but this small yellow croaker does have its special meaning, and I don't want to give it up easily."

Qin Huairu smiled, handed the small yellow croaker back to He Yudong, and said, "Well, since you value it so much, then keep it safe for now. However, you have to remember that no matter how good the treasure is, someone has to protect it. Do you have the ability to do so?"

He Yudong nodded and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I will do my best to protect it, and I will also use it to protect our compound."

Qin Huairu looked at He Yudong, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, and said, "It's good that you have this determination, but be careful, some people have set their sights on the treasure in this yard."

He Yudong's heart trembled, and he asked, "Are you talking about those sneaky people?"

Qin Huairu nodded, "Yes, they won't give up easily. You have to be more careful."

He Yudong nodded heavily, secretly alert in his heart. He knew that he not only had to protect this small yellow croaker, but also the safety of the entire yard.

In the next few days, He Yudong was extra careful and kept an eye on the movements in the yard. He found that those sneaky people were indeed observing in secret, but they seemed to have no action for the time being. He Yudong decided to use this time to further study the ancient book and enhance his strength.

One night, He Yudong was concentrating on studying ancient books when he suddenly heard a whisper coming from outside the window. He quietly walked to the window and saw several figures wandering in the yard, seemingly looking for something. He Yudong decided to go out and take a look.

He walked out of the house quietly and watched from the dark. He saw those people searching around in the yard, obviously coming for the small yellow croaker. He Yudong smiled inwardly, knowing that these people were still unwilling to give up.

"What are you looking for?" He Yudong suddenly walked out from the darkness and asked coldly.

The men were startled and turned around in a hurry. The leader calmed down and said with a forced smile, "We are just taking a look, nothing special."

He Yudong snorted coldly, "Just take a look? I think you are here for my little yellow croaker."

The man's face changed, but he quickly regained his composure, "What little yellow croaker? We don't know what you are talking about."

He Yudong stared at them coldly. "No matter what you are looking for, this is not the place for you. Get out of here now, or don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing He Yudong's firm attitude, the few people did not dare to entangle any more and left the yard in disgrace. He Yudong looked at their backs and was secretly alert. He knew that these people would not give up easily, so he had to be more careful.

The next day, He Yudong got up early and went to the river in the yard to wash. As soon as he walked to the river, he saw Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui chatting there. Liu Haizhong saw He Yudong and greeted him with a smile: "He Yudong, good morning! You have become a hero in our yard recently."

He Yudong smiled and said, "There is no such thing as a hero. I just did what I had to do."

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "You are right, but you have to be careful. Those people are not good people."

He Yudong nodded to express his gratitude, but in his heart he was thinking about how to further enhance his strength. He knew that only by becoming stronger could he truly protect the treasures in the yard and the neighbors.

A few days later, He Yudong received an unexpected visitor.

He Yudong returned home, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He made a trap and prepared to punish

On a summer afternoon, the cicadas in the courtyard chirped one after another. He Yudong had just returned from outside, with anger on his face. Today he met the sneaky group of people on the street. When they saw He Yudong, they smiled contemptuously and even threatened him in front of him. He Yudong could no longer bear it, but he didn't want to conflict with them in the street, so he had to suppress his anger and hurried home.

As soon as He Yudong entered the room, he sat on a chair, his mind churning. He knew that these people would come again sooner or later, and he couldn't just passively take the beating like this. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he decided to take the initiative and teach them a profound lesson. He Yudong stood up, walked to the tool room, and started making a trap.

He Yudong's craftsmanship was extraordinary, and soon, a delicate animal trap was formed in his hands. He looked at the animal trap in his hand, and a determination ignited in his heart: this time, he must let those people know that he, He Yudong, is not someone to be trifled with.

"Where should I put this trap?" He Yudong said to himself, "It can't be put in a conspicuous place. They have to avoid noticing it." He thought about it and decided to put the trap on the hidden path leading to the tunnel.

At night, He Yudong quietly placed the trap and returned to the house to continue studying the ancient book. He knew that in addition to physical defense, he also needed to strengthen his own strength to truly protect himself and his neighbors. In the dead of night, He Yudong took out the ancient book and continued to study the secrets in it.

A few days later, He Yudong's trap finally came in handy. One night, he was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air when he suddenly heard a scream. He Yudong immediately became alert and quickly ran in the direction of the sound, and found a person struggling painfully in the trap.

"What are you doing?" He Yudong asked coldly with a sneer on his face.

The man's face turned blue in pain, and he looked at He Yudong angrily, "You actually set up this kind of trap, let me out now!"

He Yudong snorted disdainfully, "You shouldn't have come here. This is your lesson." As he said that, he slowly walked forward and released the trap.

The man struggled to get out of the trap in a panic, holding his injured leg, and said viciously: "Just wait, we won't give up!"

He Yudong looked at his departing back coldly, secretly alert in his heart. He knew that there might be bigger troubles next, but he was not afraid. He Yudong decided to discuss with some reliable neighbors to see if there was a better way to deal with this group of people.

The next morning, He Yudong called Qin Huairu, Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong and others together and explained the recent situation in detail. After listening to it, everyone expressed their concerns, but they also thought that He Yudong's approach was right.

"He Yudong, you're right. We can't just passively take the beating all the time." Qin Huairu said, "But we have to think of a long-term solution and can't always rely on traps."

"Yes, we need a more comprehensive defense measure." Liu Haizhong nodded in agreement.

Yan Bugui pondered for a moment and said, "I have an idea. Why don't we set up some alarm devices around the yard so that when someone breaks in, we can know in advance."

He Yudong's eyes lit up, "Good idea, I can try to make some simple alarm devices."

After a discussion, they decided to split up. He Yudong was responsible for making the alarm device, Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong were responsible for finding materials, and Yan Bugui was responsible for installation and testing. A few days later, a simple alarm system was set up around the yard.

At night, He Yudong lay in bed, feeling a little comforted.
