Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

A few days later, He Yudong found a method to increase physical strength and agility in an ancient book, and began to practice according to the description in the book. Every morning, he would do a series of exercises in the yard, and gradually felt that his physical strength and reaction speed had improved significantly.

One afternoon, He Yudong was about to go to work in the factory when he suddenly received a call from a stranger. A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Comrade He Yudong, we know you have encountered some troubles recently, and we are willing to provide help."

He Yudong asked vigilantly: "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

The man smiled and said, "We are a group of like-minded friends. We heard about your deeds and think you are a trustworthy person. We have some resources that can help you deal with those criminals."

He Yudong was confused, but decided to meet these people to see who they were. As agreed, He Yudong went to a teahouse outside the city and met the stranger who called him.

"Hello, I'm He Yudong." He Yudong introduced himself and looked at the other person vigilantly.

The man smiled and nodded. "Hello, Comrade He Yudong. My name is Li Qiang, and I'm one of this group of like-minded friends. We know you've been in trouble recently, and we want to help you."

He Yudong asked directly: "Why do you want to help me?"

Li Qiang smiled and said, "We are all people with a sense of justice. We don't want to see people like you being bullied. We have some connections and resources that can help you deal with those criminals."

He Yudong nodded, "I understand, but I need to know what your motives are."

Li Qiang said seriously: "Our motive is very simple, which is to help the righteous side and fight against those lawless elements. We believe that you are a trustworthy person, so we are willing to help you."

He Yudong thought about it for a while and finally decided to accept their help. "Okay, I accept your help, but I hope we can be honest with each other."

Li Qiang nodded and smiled, "Of course, we will do our best to help you."

After returning to the yard, He Yudong told Qin Huairu and Yan Bugui about Li Qiang. After listening to him, they all expressed their support for He Yudong's decision.

"With their help, our defense will be more secure." Qin Huairu said.

"Yes, He Yudong is right. We can't fight alone." Yan Bugui nodded in agreement.

In the next few days, Li Qiang and his friends took action. They helped He Yudong set up more advanced monitoring equipment around the yard and also provided some weapons and protective equipment.

On a summer night, the factory square was brightly lit, and people were preparing to watch an open-air movie. The movie being screened was the domestic classic Ashima. He Yudong arrived at the square early. He likes watching movies, and he likes discussing the plot with his neighbors even more. Today, he deliberately learned about the plot of Ashima in advance and was ready to talk to everyone before the movie started.

He Yudong found a seat and sat down. Seeing Qin Huairu, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong also coming, he waved to them to come over. Several people gathered together and started chatting.

"Ashima is playing tonight. I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Qin Huairu said with a smile, "I heard this movie is very touching."

He Yudong nodded and took over the conversation: "Yes, I also learned about the plot. The story tells the love story between the beautiful and kind Ashima and the brave Ahei. They bravely fight against evil forces for love and freedom."

Liu Haizhong asked curiously: "He Yudong, is there anything particularly touching in this story?"

He Yudong smiled and said, "Of course there are. For example, after Ashima was beaten by Ah Zhi and the landlord forced her to marry him, Ah Hei risked his life to save her. It was very touching. And at the end, Ashima jumped into the big puddle and turned into a rainbow, which is also a classic scene of this movie."

Yan Bugui frowned: "He Yudong, you explained it in such detail, are you afraid that we won't understand it?"

Everyone laughed, and He Yudong also laughed: "No, I just think it's more interesting for everyone to discuss the plot together."

At this time, the lights in the square gradually dimmed, and the movie was about to start. Everyone quieted down and focused on the big screen. As the movie unfolded, the beautiful story of Ashima and Ahei gradually attracted everyone's attention.

In the movie, Ashima's innocence and bravery deeply moved the audience, and everyone felt sympathy for her experience. When Ahei rescued Ashima at the risk of his life, warm applause rang out in the square. He Yudong looked at his neighbors and was also filled with emotion and comfort.

After the movie, everyone was still not satisfied and gathered together to discuss the plot. Qin Huairu sighed: "Ashima is such a good girl. For love and freedom, she would rather jump into a big puddle. It's really admirable."

Liu Haizhong nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ah Hei is also very brave. In order to rescue Ashima, he risked his life. This is true love."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Don't just sigh, He Yudong, you really know a lot about movies. When we were watching the movie just now, all the plots you mentioned really appeared."

He Yudong smiled slightly: "Actually, I also read some information and wanted to share it with you. Although the movie is fictional, the spirit it conveys is real."

"That's right," Qin Huairu nodded in agreement, "We should also learn from Ashima and Aheige and face the difficulties in life bravely. No matter what setbacks we encounter, we must not give up."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and He Yudong felt warm in his heart. This time of discussing movies and sharing feelings with neighbors made him feel particularly fulfilled and satisfied.

Just as everyone was immersed in the discussion, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the distance. He Yudong looked up and saw Li Qiang walking towards them quickly, with a hint of anxiety on his face.

"He Yudong, something's happening." Li Qiang said in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

He Yudong immediately realized that something was wrong and stood up: "What's wrong?"

Li Qiang panted and said, "I just received news that a group of unidentified people are active near the factory area. They don't look friendly."

He Yudong's heart tightened, and he quickly turned around and said to everyone, "We have to go back immediately, everyone be careful."

Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong also immediately became alert, stood up, and followed He Yudong and Li Qiang to the courtyard. Along the way, everyone looked around nervously, fearing that they might encounter any danger.

After returning to the yard, He Yudong quickly gathered the neighbors and briefly explained the situation. After listening, everyone expressed their concerns, but also expressed their support for He Yudong's decision.

"He Yudong, what should we do now?" Liu Haizhong asked, with an uneasy gleam in his eyes.

He Yudong pondered for a while and said, "We have to strengthen our vigilance and be prepared for defense. Li Qiang, can you contact your friends and ask them to help keep watch?"

Li Qiang nodded: "No problem, I'll arrange it right away."

Qin Huairu also stepped forward and said, "He Yudong, I can be responsible for the logistics work. If you need anything, you can come to me."

He Yudong nodded gratefully: "Okay, with your support, I feel much more at ease."

In the following days, He Yudong and Li Qiang organized the neighbors to strengthen the defense measures of the yard. Everyone had a clear division of labor and took turns on duty to ensure the safety inside and outside the yard. Li Qiang's friends also came to help. They brought advanced monitoring equipment and some protective tools to further ensure the safety of the yard.

At night, He Yudong sat in the yard, thinking a lot. He knew that although the crisis was temporarily under control, the enemy would not give up easily. He Yudong decided to continue studying the secret techniques in the ancient books to further enhance his strength.

A few days later, He Yudong found a method to enhance his spiritual power in an ancient book and began to practice according to the description in the book. Every night, he would sit in meditation in the yard and gradually felt that his spiritual power had been significantly improved.

Li Qiang nodded and smiled: "Of course, we will do our best to help you."

The safety of He Yudong and his neighbors was further guaranteed.

One night, He Yudong was sitting in meditation in the yard when he suddenly heard a sharp sound from the alarm. He immediately opened his eyes and quickly got up to check the situation. He saw several figures swaying at the gate of the yard, obviously uninvited guests.

He Yudong picked up a flashlight and a shovel, quickly ran to the door, and shouted, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The figures were illuminated by the beam and immediately scattered. One of them shouted, "We are just passing by. It's none of your business!"

He Yudong sneered: "Passing by? Passing by someone else's yard in the middle of the night? If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"

As night fell, He Yudong was walking home happily after watching a movie. He decided to take a short break today and bought some beef and a bottle of Moutai to treat himself when he got home. He Yudong was thinking that he could have a drink with some good neighbors tonight, chat and relax his tense nerves.

Back at the courtyard, He Yudong saw Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong sitting in the yard chatting. He walked over quickly and greeted them with a smile: "Old Yan, Old Liu, I bought some good things tonight, how about we have a couple of drinks together?"

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up and they all smiled and said, "Okay, He Yudong, it's rare that you are so generous, we must enjoy it."

He Yudong smiled and nodded, put the beef and Maotai on the table, and called everyone over: "Everyone come over, let's have a few drinks tonight, and don't leave until we are drunk!"
