Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

There are only a few of them, so the selection was quick.

After the fun ended, the aunts continued chatting

"Hey, have you heard? There was a commotion in our village last night. They said the police came to catch spies!"

"Ah? Is this true? Why didn't I hear anything? Is this another TV show?"

"Oh, how could that be possible! My wife saw it with her own eyes. She said that the policemen were like martial arts stars in the movies. They were very skilled."

"That's what I was wondering. Why was the village so quiet last night? It turns out the police came to close the net here. I was wondering why I didn't even hear a dog barking."

"Did they catch him? I heard that the spy is very powerful and can climb walls and fly over rooftops."

"They caught him! They caught him! My wife said that the spy wanted to run away at first, but he was pinned to the ground by the police after he had taken only a few steps."

"Tsk tsk, this spy is too weak. I thought he was so powerful, but it turns out he's just a paper tiger."

"Do you think the police called us away because they were afraid of hurting us? I heard someone knocking on the door last night, saying that the village needed disinfection and asked us to gather at the entrance of the village."

"Yes, yes, I heard that too. I was wondering why they suddenly had to disinfect. So this is what's going on."

"That's right, the police are very thoughtful. We haven't heard of anyone getting hurt in our village."

"But speaking of which, when did such a spy come to our village? We never see any suspicious people around."

"Who knows? In this world, there are all kinds of people. But fortunately, the police are very capable and caught the bad guys in no time."

"Yeah, we are pretty peaceful now. But we have to be more careful in the future. If anything seems wrong, we have to report it to the police immediately."

"That's right! Although we don't go out, we have to keep our eyes open. Even though we stay at home every day, we are well-informed."

"Haha, that's true. What in our village can be hidden from us? Even the wife of the Wang family next door gave birth to a big fat boy yesterday. Weren't we the first to know about it?"

"Look at you, you're so proud, but to be honest, our information network is better than anything else. Even though we don't go out, we can still hear everything."

"Okay, okay, let's not just talk and not do anything. If something happens in the future, we have to keep each other informed like we did today, so as not to give the bad guys any chance to take advantage of us."

"Well said! In our courtyard, we have to look out for each other. Come, let's continue chatting. I heard that the spy brought a lot of strange things. Let's gossip about it."

Sha Zhu smacked his lips and pushed squad leader Wang Xu next to him.

"Squad Leader Wang, is this true?"

Squad leader Wang Xu smiled and said, "Absolutely reliable. Don't underestimate these aunties!" He turned around and said to one of them.

"Aunt Liu, please tell our Chef He about what happened in our alley!"

He even winked at Aunt Liu!

Aunt Liu understood what monitor Wang Xu meant and moved a stool over.

"Listen to me, Chef He!"

Most of the people in our steel mill now live in Nanluoguxiang! Nanluoguxiang has a long history and is full of dilapidated courtyards. One stormy night in the past, a horrifying thing happened here.

It was an autumn evening, the sky was getting dark, dark clouds were gathering, and thunder was rumbling. Most of the residents in the alley had stayed indoors, and only the occasional barking of dogs broke the silence. At the end of the alley, there was a dilapidated courtyard with its gate half-closed, as if waiting for something.

In the yard lived an old blind woman named Granny Li. She lived alone and depended on the help of her neighbors. That night, Granny Li felt an unusual atmosphere. The wind seemed to be more biting than usual; the thunder seemed to roar louder in her ears. Her heartbeat accelerated, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

At this moment, the gate creaked open and a figure staggered in. Although Granny Li couldn't see, she could feel someone approaching. The person's footsteps were heavy and dragging, accompanied by a strange humming sound.

"Grandma, it's me, Little Stone." A trembling voice broke the silence. Little Stone was an orphan in the alley, and he often came to help Grandma Li with housework.

Granny Li breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Little Stone, why are you here so late?"

Little Stone's voice trembled even more: "Grandma, I...I just saw...saw a man wearing Qing Dynasty official uniform at the entrance of the alley. He...he had no head!"

Granny Li was startled, but she quickly calmed down and comforted Little Stone: "Don't be afraid, kid, maybe you saw it wrong."

But Little Stone hadn't finished his words yet: "No, Grandma, I saw it clearly. He even...he talked to me. He said...he died unjustly and he wanted to find a scapegoat!"

Granny Li knew that there had been rumors in this alley that an official was wrongly killed here in the late Qing Dynasty, and his soul had never been able to rest in peace. She decided to get to the bottom of it.

She asked Little Stone to lead the way, and the two of them braved the heavy rain and came to the entrance of the alley. There was an old locust tree there, and under the tree was a stone tablet with some blurred words engraved on it. Although Granny Li couldn't see, she touched the stone tablet with her hand, as if she could feel the story behind the words.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew and the rain became heavier. Little Stone suddenly screamed, "Grandma, he's coming again! He's behind the tree!"

Although Granny Li couldn't see, she could feel a chill approaching.

Suddenly Aunt Li shouted: "He is behind you..."

Sha Zhu was so frightened that the back of his head began to hurt and a layer of sweat broke out on his body!

Hahaha...

Squad leader Wang Xu was also amused by He Yuzhu's surprised look and started laughing!

"Isn't it fun for you to tease children?" Sha Zhu said shyly.

Everyone laughed even louder when they saw this scene...

Squad leader Wang Xu smiled and said, "Okay, I teased you but you took it seriously. I don't want the lunch boxes from the special kitchen today. I'll give them all to you!"

Sha Zhu said, "Come on! You have a big family, so I don't want it! I can eat the big pot of food here!"

"Team Leader Wang, everyone says you have a large family and you have many children. How many people are there in your family?" asked Sha Zhu.

"I'll tell you later! Anyway, it will definitely shock you!" Squad Leader Wang Xu said, "When you have nothing to do, go to the back warehouse and clean up yourself. You can get some sleep when you have nothing to do!"
