Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Zhang Wei's fishing rod swings with professionalism, which is enough to catch his niece Mengmeng. But he also has a few secret weapons - special baits, which he quietly throws into the water when no one is paying attention, so as not to return empty-handed. Of course, he doesn't have high expectations for fishing, it's just a pastime.

At first, Mengmeng was quite interested in fishing. She stared at the float and asked from time to time when the fish would be caught. The old people around her smiled and comforted her when they saw that she was a little girl and stopped meddling in her affairs. However, as others continued to reap the rewards, Mengmeng's envy was beyond words. Zhang Wei had no choice but to gently advise:

"Okay, don't ask anymore. The fish in the river are very cunning. They will run away at the slightest movement."

Meng Meng nodded, but still stared at the other person's fishing net intently. "If you're hungry, eat some snacks first; if you're thirsty, drink some water. Don't run around, especially don't go near the river, do you hear me?"

"Brother, can I go over and take a look? I saw that grandpa caught a very big fish." Mengmeng stretched out her hands and gestured to the big fish.

Zhang Wei thought for a moment and felt that since he went out to make her happy, he should let her have some freedom.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't go too far, let alone get close to the river."

Mengmeng nodded seriously, a happy smile on her face.

At first, Mengmeng kept circling around Zhang Wei, occasionally saying hello to a few fishing friends. Later, she walked farther and farther away, holding the candies handed to her by Zhang Wei and shuttling back and forth on the shore. Her sweet voice made everyone happy, and they all praised her for being a lovely girl, and she also received a lot of candies in return.

Those who ate the candies were full of praise and gave her thumbs up, which greatly satisfied her little vanity.

"Little girl, what's your name?" An old man, well-dressed and in good spirits, called Mengmeng.

"Grandpa, my name is Mengmeng. Are you here to fish too?" Mengmeng asked innocently.

The old man smiled and asked, "Yes, who did you come with? Don't you know that there are dangers near the river?"

Meng Meng glanced at the empty fish basket and said in frustration: "I came here with my brother, he is right over here. Grandpa, don't be discouraged, even my brother didn't catch anything. Eat this candy, you will definitely be able to catch a big fish after you finish it."

"Hahaha, what a clever guy!" The old man tasted the candy Meng Meng gave him, and it was indeed very delicious. "How about giving me some more?" the old man continued to beg.

Meng Meng hesitated and looked at the candy in her hand, and finally handed over two pieces. "Grandpa, I don't have much left, so I can only give you two. The rest should be left for my brother, because he worked hard to ride his bike to bring me here."

The old man gratefully accepted the candy and said with a smile, "It's a bit boring to fish alone, why don't you chat with me?"

Meng Meng thought about it, nodded obediently, and sat down to chat with the old man. She thought that the old man might be unhappy because he couldn't catch any fish, so she wanted to accompany him.

Seeing that Xue'er got along well with everyone, Zhang Wei was relieved and focused on his fishing. But when he caught two fish, he suddenly heard a sobbing sound - it turned out to be Xue'er's crying.

Worried that his daughter might have met with an accident, he hurriedly put down his fishing rod and ran towards the direction where the crying sound came from. When he came to Xue'er's side, Zhang Wei asked with concern: "Xue'er, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as Xueer saw Zhang Wei, she threw herself into his arms and sobbed as she told him what had happened. It was all because of the candy.

The old man saw that Xueer's candy was delicious, so he wanted more. Xueer was reluctant to share with her brother, so she naturally refused to agree and advised him to eat less snacks to prevent tooth decay. But the old man was not willing to give up and offered to exchange it for the pen he pinned on his chest.

Xueer knew the value of this fountain pen. Wang Kun even spent ten yuan to buy her one at a department store. So she wanted the fountain pen but didn't want to give up the candy.

At the gate of a solemn and dignified courtyard, the old general who had amused Xue'er walked in with a smile. Next to him was a young man with an embarrassed and unconvinced expression on his face.

The old general patted the young man on the shoulder and said sarcastically, "Little brother, your face is longer than the sky."

The young man said with a brave face: "Commander, I hope you can arrange for me to go to the front-line troops."

The old general stopped, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Why, isn't it impressive enough to follow me?"

"Commander, I joined the army to fight in the battlefield."

"Humph, I want to go to the battlefield too. I didn't even complain, but you're dissatisfied."

"Even if you can't go to the battlefield, you can't bully a little girl."

The old general laughed, "You are really reasonable. Why didn't you stand up and say it? Boy, just be a good guard for me."

The young man looked at the old general's departing back and shouted, "I'm not afraid!"

At this time, another old general in his fifties came over. "Xiao Chen, you got scolded by Lao Li again."

The young man turned around and stood at attention, "Commander Guan."

The old general returned the salute and said, "Tell me, what did Lao Li do today that made you so angry?"

Xiao Chen frowned and said hesitantly: "Commander, please don't forget the confidentiality regulations."

The old general waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't play tricks on me. Tell me, why is Lao Li in such a good mood today, but you look unhappy?"

The old general surnamed Li said with a smile: "Old Guan, do you think I am that kind of person? By the way, I heard that your daughter's health has improved a lot?"

The old general named Guan nodded and said, "Yes, I found a good prescription. You will be fine after taking the medicine a few times. After you are fully recovered, I will ask her to treat you to a drink."

The two chatted as they walked slowly back home. General Li lived in a house nearby. After entering the house, he said to Xiao Chen, "Go investigate those two guys."

Xiao Chen was a little unhappy, "Chief, isn't it just a young man with a little girl? You even took her snacks, why do you have to check their identities?"

The old general surnamed Li snorted coldly, "If you are asked to go, then go. A person like you still wants to go to the battlefield? It would be more appropriate to give you military merits. Can't you see that the young man's skills are not worse than yours?"

Xiao Chen's face changed slightly, "Commander, what you said is impossible! With such high martial arts skills, how could he have time to go fishing in Shichahai?"

"Isn't that what I wanted you to investigate? Can't you see that scar on his face? It was caused by shrapnel."

Xiao Chen finally responded, "Chief, I will investigate immediately."

After hearing Mr. Li's reminder, Xiao Lin carefully recalled the scene of that day. There was a scar on Lao Zhou's face, but it has faded a lot after applying ointment. It is really hard to see if you are a little far away. He was not close at that time, and the crowd was messy, so he naturally did not pay too much attention.
