Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

The peaceful life in the courtyard was broken by the imprisonment of an old man, as if a shocking crack suddenly appeared on a flawless jade.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao's confusion and exploration seemed even more urgent and helpless in front of the cold stone walls of the call room.

The silence of the old man was like a thick fog, shrouding the hearts of everyone in the courtyard.

They couldn't understand how the usually kind and respected old man could make such a serious mistake.

Qin Huairu silently bore the pressure, and every time she burned incense for her aunt, her heart was filled with complicated emotions.

I feel sad about the uncle's imprisonment, but I am also relieved that I can fulfill his request.

The days passed slowly in exploration and silence, and the life in the courtyard seemed to have returned to its former tranquility, but that tranquility was accompanied by an indescribable depression.

Until one day, Factory Manager Chen Fei suddenly announced a piece of news - the factory will hold a safety education activity, using the case of the old man as a warning to remind all employees to pay attention to safety in production.

This news caused an uproar in the courtyard.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were even more excited, as they finally had the chance to uncover the truth behind the old man's imprisonment.

On the day of the event, residents of the courtyard gathered together. Factory Director Chen Fei stood on the stage and told the story of the old man with a serious expression.

It turned out that the old man's dereliction of duty was not due to momentary negligence, but was caused by long-term indifference to production safety and a mentality of taking chances.

His behavior not only harmed Xiao Zhang, but also put the entire factory into crisis.

Director Chen Fei's words were so powerful that everyone present felt the importance of safety awareness.

The case of the old man is like a mirror, reflecting the luck and indifference in everyone's heart.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were shocked and felt deeply guilty.

They finally understood that the uncle's imprisonment was not accidental, but inevitable.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the ancient blue brick and tile house.

At this moment, the third uncle was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, playing with an old chess piece in his hand with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Do you know?" Uncle San cleared his throat and began to tell about his bizarre experience with Auntie. "That day, the two of us went to the park for a walk as usual. Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared in the sky and sucked us in."

"The people there wore strange clothes and spoke a language we couldn't understand." The third uncle paused at this point, "What's even more bizarre is that we actually met a master there, who taught us a magical chess skill."

"Oh? What kind of chess is it?" Sha Zhu asked curiously.

The third uncle smiled slightly and shook his head: "You can't tell me this. This is a secret between us."

Seeing this, although everyone was a little disappointed, they also understood the third uncle's intention.

After all, everyone has their own secrets and privacy that cannot be revealed easily.

"However, what I can tell you is that after we stayed in that world for a while, we inexplicably returned here." The third uncle continued, "Moreover, we also brought back some items from that world as souvenirs."

As he spoke, the third uncle took out an exquisite wooden box from his pocket, opened it, and found a chess set inside.

This chess set is different from ordinary chess sets. Its chess pieces are carved from a rare jade stone. They are crystal clear and emit a faint glow.

"This is the chess piece we used to play the amazing chess game we learned." The third uncle proudly showed the chess in his hand, "Look at this chess piece, isn't it beautiful?"

Everyone gathered around to watch, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

They had never seen such exquisite chess, not to mention the magical legend that came with it.

"It's amazing!" Qin Huairu exclaimed, "Uncle, your experience this time is really bizarre."

"Yes, we ourselves also find it incredible." The third uncle said with a smile, "But, this can also be regarded as an adventure in our lives."

At this moment, Sha Zhu suddenly remembered Bang Geng's situation and asked, "Uncle San, do you know how Bang Geng is doing now?"

When the third uncle heard this, his face darkened slightly, and he sighed and said, "Alas, the child is now a vegetable, and Qin Huairu has been taking care of him."

"What? A vegetable?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They never thought that Bang Geng would end up like this.

"Yes, this child's life is so miserable." Qin Huairu's eyes turned red and her voice was choked. "But I will take care of him until he wakes up."

When everyone heard this, they felt sorry.

Banggeng was originally a lively and cute child, but because of an accident he became a vegetable, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.

As his mother, Qin Huairu bore enormous pressure and burden.

"It's really not easy." The aunt held Qin Huairu's hand and comforted her, "You must be strong."

"thank you for your concern."

At this point, the topic of discussion turned to the uncle in custody and Jia Zhang.

Both of them were currently in prison receiving punishment, which made the atmosphere in the entire courtyard somewhat heavy.

"Is the uncle doing well in prison?" Sha Zhu asked with concern.

"It should be okay." The third uncle thought for a while and said, "After all, he is an eighth-level fitter. He should be able to get some special treatment in prison."

"What about Jia Zhang?" Qin Huairu asked, "She has a bad temper. Can she bear it in prison?"

The third uncle shook his head: "She is doing very well in prison."

"Oh? What's going on?" everyone asked curiously.

"You don't know?" The third uncle smiled mysteriously, "Jia Zhang is a hegemonic existence in the prison. She relies on her age and seniority to order those young prisoners around, asking them to serve her tea, wash clothes and cook for her. Although those prisoners are dissatisfied, they dare not resist her."

"Really?" Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this. "I didn't expect Jia Zhang to be so powerful in prison."

"But, her good days are coming to an end soon." The third uncle changed the subject, "Recently, a new prisoner came to the prison, named 'Big Fatty'. This Big Fatty is a tough guy. He has been the boss in the prison for many years and no one dares to mess with him. He couldn't stand Jia Zhang's behavior, so he taught her a lesson."

"Ah? Jia Zhang was beaten?" Qin Huairu asked in surprise.

"Yes, she was beaten black and blue, and now she doesn't dare to be arrogant anymore." The third uncle said with a smile, "This fat guy is really powerful."

Everyone sighed when they heard this.

Jia Zhang has always been a powerful figure in the courtyard, but she didn't expect that she would be bullied in prison.

This also makes her so-called "dominant position" vulnerable.
