Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

"Bah!"

Tao Xiaoye rushed into the room in a hurry. Without saying a word, he picked up the pink vase on the table, took out all the flowers that were originally inserted in it, threw it aside, and then put all the flowers in his hand. Some wilted wild flowers were inserted carefully, and then they clapped their hands with satisfaction and showed a smile.

"Xiao Ye, are you back?" Mei Zhihua asked after hearing the movement outside the house.

He called several times, but got no answer.

Mei Zhihua walked into her youngest daughter's room with some confusion, and saw her daughter sitting at the desk with the lamp on, lying there writing and drawing.

"What are you writing? You won't say anything this time!" Mei Zhihua looked closer and saw that he was copying poems.

Tao Xiao was also immersed in his own world and did not notice his mother's approach at all.

Although the lyrics of the song "When You Are Old" that Xiang Yunduan sang to her today came from Ye Ci's poem, there were some changes, so she wanted to write it all down while her memory was clear.

Tao Xiaoye was still humming the melody while writing. He didn't get up until he had completely written it down and found that there was no problem. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw his mother standing behind him.

"Mom, what are you doing, scaring me!" Tao Xiaoye said. She was really frightened, and her sweet face turned pale.

"What am I doing? Tell me first what's wrong with you? You don't even say hello when you come back, it's like you're in a daze!" Mei Zhihua said.

"Oh, Mom, what are you having for dinner?" Tao Xiaoye grabbed his mother's arms with both hands and changed the subject in a coquettish tone.

She had eaten so much at noon, and it was not yet six o'clock, so she was not hungry at all.

Mei Zhihua didn't notice anything unusual. She also knew the poem her daughter had written just now. After all, she came from a scholarly family. When she was in northern Shaanxi, she even participated in a poetry club. If she remembered correctly, the meaning of this poem was The author is also a Nobel Prize winner in literature.

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Your brother and your sister have gone out and haven't come back yet. Let's wait until they come back!" Mei Zhihua said.

"Ah? Isn't my nerdy brother in the study? What has he been doing!" Tao Xiaoye asked in surprise.

How did she know that her brother was sent out by her mother to follow her? Unfortunately, there were too many people on the street today. Tao Xiaomin followed her out in the morning, but lost him soon after.

At this moment, Tao Xiaomin is working hard in the city library.

But it was Tao Minzhen, the elder sister, who accidentally discovered her little sister's little secret.

……

Saturday evening.

As soon as he got off work, Xiang Yunduan rode his bicycle back to the Liangjiazhuang brigade.

After get off work yesterday, Tao Xiaoye developed all the photos taken on National Day and sent them to him.

Because the newspaper office often takes photos, it has a special darkroom for developing and printing photos. Of course, Tao Xiaoye did not look far away.

However, she didn't have the habit of taking advantage of the public. Because she developed a lot of photos, twenty or thirty, she even paid for the developer.

Xiang Yunduan picked three out of twenty or thirty photos and planned to take them home for his family to see. The rest were stored in the space.

There are too many photos for fear of causing a sensation, so three is the limit.

Among the three photos, two are shots recording the joy of National Day, including celebrating crowds and iconic buildings, and the other is a photo of him and Tao Xiaoye.

This group photo was taken by another stranger who knew how to take photos.

"This kid doesn't look like he's going back to the courtyard. He looks like he's getting ready to go back to the countryside. Hurry, Xiaowu, go and notify Mr. Long!"

Xiang Yunduan was just on his way and didn't realize that he was being targeted by two guys after he left the factory.

Just as he entered the city from Chaoyang Gate and then walked along Chang'an Avenue to Fucheng Gate in the west, one of the two people following him got off his bicycle halfway and disappeared into an alley.

Within a moment, a dozen big men emerged from the alley, riding seven or eight bicycles, and blended into the crowd.

The sun sets and the sky gradually becomes dark.

Just when Xiang Yunduan passed by a "concave" corner, there was a sudden noise behind him.

He looked back and saw that there were a few passers-by on bicycles. He didn't pay attention to them at first. After all, this road was the main road connecting the city and Meitou Gou. It was not surprising to meet other pedestrians.

However, he soon discovered something was wrong, because those people rode their bicycles very fast and roared towards him, quickly overtaking him, and then stopped him on the road.

"I said, what's going on with you brothers? It doesn't look like they are Jie Dao. Could it be that they are seeking revenge on me?" Xiang Yunduan said.

There were more than a dozen people riding seven or eight bicycles. If they were robbing the road, they should also be robbing the passing cars. He was not worthy of such an effort.

"Humph, boy, it seems you are quite self-aware!"

Among the dozen or so big men, a bald man about forty years old walked out.

"Oh, you are really seeking revenge, but I don't have many enemies. I'm afraid you guys have a lot of background with your aggressive attitude. Why don't you sign up first? Maybe it's a misunderstanding!" Xiang Yunduan said. .

"I'm afraid now, it's too late, but I can make your kid understand that last time the police destroyed our boss's gambling house in Hufangqiao Shaohuo Alley, and your kid's contribution was in that, right? " said the bald man.

"It turns out it's you scumbags. It seems that something slipped through the net last time!" Xiang Yunduan understood the identities of these people.

Unexpectedly, these people actually found out about him in a moment.

Strictly speaking, it was Xiang Yunduan's first achievement that the casino was busted. It was normal for these people to seek revenge if they wanted to seek revenge.

Moreover, he was the only one who participated in the cracking process and was an ordinary worker. The others were either security guards or police officers, so retaliation would be quite troublesome.

He is both the "culprit" and the "soft persimmon", so of course we have to take it out on him.

"Hmph, Xiaowu and Heizi, you two go to watch the wind, don't let anyone see you, others, do it for me, the boss has spoken, chop him to death with a knife, and then feed it to the dog!" The bald head snorted coldly and said no more. Get ready to take action.

In the crowd, two figures ran towards both ends of the "concave" corner one after the other. Although it was getting dark now, it was still possible that someone was passing by.

I have to say that this bald man is quite thoughtful.

"Boy, I heard that you know kung fu? You've been in the newspaper, right? It just so happens that the brothers have also practiced. How about practicing with the brothers?"

Next to the bald head, a thin guy with a body like a hemp stood up, holding the shining Ziwu Yueyue in his hands, looking at Xiang Yunduan with a ferocious smile.

"A guy from Bagua Sect?"

As soon as Xiang Yunduan saw the pair of strange-looking weapons, he immediately understood the kung fu heritage of the man in front of him.

"You have some knowledge. You also know Bagua Sect. It seems that you have real skills. Come on, let's see how many rounds you can go in the hands of Monkey King!" Shoumagan said.

"I also have the same weapon. Do you want to guess which sect I belong to?" Xiang Yunduan got off the bicycle with a casual expression. As he spoke, he placed the bicycle against the dirt slope beside the road.
