Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Walking in the alleys of the courtyard, He Yuzhu's steps seemed heavy and tired. His heart was full of contradictions. He knew that he had to continue to fight for justice, but at the same time he also felt the fear of endless darkness.

"He Yuzhu, what's wrong with you?" Qin Huairu walked to his side and looked at him with concern.

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly, trying to hide his feelings: "Nothing, I just feel that all this is too difficult to change."

Qin Huairu patted his shoulder gently and said softly: "But we have done a good thing. We gave those who were bullied a little hope."

He Yuzhu nodded, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate. "Maybe you are right, but this is only a temporary victory. We still have a lot to do."

Qin Huairu looked at him with eyes full of understanding and support. "Yes, but we are not fighting alone. We can unite more people and change the world together."

He Yuzhu listened to her quietly, and a feeling of warmth and hope gradually surged in his heart. Perhaps, they were not fighting alone, and they could gather more strength to save more people.

At night in the courtyard, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu sat together in the courtyard, looking at the starry sky. Their hearts gradually calmed down, and the haze in their hearts gradually dissipated. Perhaps there is really light in this world, as long as we keep pursuing it, we will definitely find it.

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and made up his mind. He knew that the courtyard was no longer safe for Qin Huairu, and he couldn't let her continue to be in danger. So he patted Qin Huairu's hand gently and said seriously: "Qin Huairu, I think we should leave here."

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect He Yuzhu to make such a suggestion. She raised her head slightly, looked into his serious eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. "Leave? Where to?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, then said, "I have a place to go, a relatively safe place."

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with confusion. She didn't know where He Yuzhu was going to take her, but she was full of trust in him. "Okay, I believe you."

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew it was not an easy decision, but he believed it was the right one. They left the courtyard tacitly. Along the way, Qin Huairu gradually relaxed, as if she had been freed from some kind of bondage.

The moment he walked out of the courtyard, He Yuzhu felt a sense of relief and satisfaction. Although the future was full of unknowns, at least they were no longer bound by the dark atmosphere of the courtyard. They could start over, pursue their dreams, and find the light that belonged to them.

After leaving the courtyard, they found a simple but clean hut, which would be their temporary shelter. He Yuzhu prepared some simple food and bedding for Qin Huairu, and then sat quietly beside her, accompanying her through this uneasy night.

He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu spent a few days quietly in the hut, and they gradually adapted to this simple and quiet life. During this time, they supported each other, shared each other's moods and worries, and made their relationship closer.

However, one morning, when He Yuzhu was about to go out to collect some food, he unexpectedly saw a figure. He stopped and frowned.

"What's wrong, Yuzhu?" Qin Huairu's voice came from inside the house.

He Yuzhu turned his head and signaled Qin Huairu not to come out. He carefully hid behind a tree and carefully observed the figure. Soon, he recognized the man. He was another villain in the courtyard, Jia Dongxu.

An indescribable fear surged in He Yuzhu's heart. Jia Dongxu was a fierce general under Xu Damao, and his presence meant trouble and danger. He didn't know how Jia Dongxu found this place, but he knew he had to be careful.

Jia Dongxu's eyes wandered around, as if he was looking for something. He Yuzhu swallowed nervously, knowing that he couldn't let Jia Dongxu find them. He approached gently, ready to sneak away.

However, at this moment, a dead branch made a slight sound under He Yuzhu's feet. Jia Dongxu turned his head immediately, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He Yuzhu's heart tightened, he knew he had been discovered.

"It's you, He Yuzhu!" Jia Dongxu's voice was full of sarcasm and malice, "How dare you come here to hide?"

He Yuzhu faced Jia Dongxu's threats, but he did not flinch in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to back down, and he had to stick to his position and protect Qin Huairu.

"Jia Dongxu, what are you doing here?" He Yuzhu tried to stay calm. He knew he had to find a suitable excuse.

He Yuzhu felt panic in his heart, he knew that Jia Dongxu's appearance meant trouble was coming. However, he had no intention of retreating, because he knew that he had to protect Qin Huairu now, no matter what the cost.

Jia Dongxu showed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, and he gradually approached He Yuzhu, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes. He Yuzhu was secretly alert in his heart, he knew that he had to stay alert and be ready to deal with Jia Dongxu's attack at any time.

"Jia Dongxu, what do you want?" He Yuzhu asked calmly. He tried to calm himself and not let fear run rampant.

Jia Dongxu sneered, and walked over to He Yuzhu. "I want you to apologize to me and kneel down to beg for mercy, understand?" His voice was full of oppression and threats.

He Yuzhu looked at him calmly, but his heart was filled with anger and unwillingness. "I will not bow to you, and I will not let you hurt us."

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded: "Jia Dongxu, what are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu looked up at the same time and saw a woman standing not far away. She was the leader of another evil force in the courtyard, Jia Dongxu's mother, Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang's eyes were like torches. She glanced coldly at He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, and then locked onto Jia Dongxu. Her voice was cold and majestic: "Jia Dongxu, stop right now!"

When Jia Dongxu heard his mother's voice, he stopped immediately, looking a little flustered. He knew that he couldn't offend his mother, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Jia Dongxu stopped, the appearance of Jia Zhang made him feel hesitant. But He Yuzhu was not completely relaxed, he knew that Jia Zhang was also a powerful figure in the courtyard, and her appearance did not necessarily mean that the matter was resolved.
