Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Jia Zhang, the old lady living in the courtyard, usually likes to take advantage of others.

I happened to see the bottle of medicine when I passed by.

His eyes lit up, thinking he had picked up some precious tonic, so he quickly hid it in his arms, planning to eat it secretly at night.

As night falls, the courtyard is silent.

Jia Zhang lay in bed, tossing and turning, feeling itchy inside.

She took out the bottle of medicine, unscrewed the cap, and poured out a pill.

The pill gave off a faint fragrance. Jia Zhang smelled it and found it slightly sweet, so she swallowed it without hesitation.

Soon, the drug took effect. Jia Zhang felt hot all over, her heartbeat accelerated, and her thoughts became confused.

I felt my consciousness becoming blurred, as if I was controlled by a mysterious force.

He struggled to get out of bed, opened the door, and staggered out.

At this time, Sha Zhu had just returned home from get off work at the steel mill.

He was carrying his lunch box, humming a little tune, and was in a good mood.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he accidentally saw Jia Zhang standing at the gate.

Jia Zhang's eyes were red, her face was flushed, and there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.

Sha Zhu was shocked, but he didn't plan to say hello to Jia Zhang. He just wanted to go home quickly.

However, Jia Zhang took the initiative to call out to Sha Zhu.

The voice was hoarse and strange: "Silly Zhu, you're back?"

Sha Zhu stopped, turned around, looked at Jia Zhang's strange appearance, and felt uneasy.

He asked calmly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jia Zhang laughed, with an evil tone in her laughter: "I'm fine, I just want to ask you something."

Sha Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he had a premonition that something bad might happen next.

He suppressed his uneasiness and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Zhang approached Sha Zhu step by step, with a cruel smile on her face: "You stole the ingredients from the factory and took them home, didn't you?"

Sha Zhu's face froze. He didn't expect Jia Zhang to suddenly ask this question.

He stammered, "Who told you that? That's not true!"

Jia Zhang snorted coldly: "Do you think I don't know? I tell you, I have already told Xu Damao, and he will come to settle accounts with you soon!"

When Sha Zhu heard Xu Damao's name, he immediately panicked.

He knew that Xu Damao was not someone to be trifled with. If he really knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous.

He quickly explained: "Grandma Jia, don't listen to other people's nonsense. I really didn't steal the ingredients from the factory."

However, Jia Zhang had lost her mind and she only wanted to drag Sha Zhu into the water.

She suddenly reached out her hand, grabbed Sha Zhu's collar, and shouted, "You stole it! I saw it with my own eyes!"

Sha Zhu was frightened by Jia Zhang's sudden action. He struggled desperately, trying to break free from Jia Zhang's restraints.

However, Jia Zhang was incredibly strong and Sha Zhu was unable to break free.

The two men wrestled with each other, and the noise became louder and louder, attracting other residents in the courtyard.

When Chen Fei heard the noise, he was delighted.

He knew his plan was half successful.

He quickly ran out of the house, pretending to be panicked and yelling, "Oh my! What's going on? Why are Shazhu and Grandma Jia fighting?"

The residents in the courtyard gathered around and talked about it.

Some people accused Sha Zhu of bullying the elderly, while others thought that Jia Zhang had mental problems.

Chen Fei watched coldly from the side, secretly calculating his next move in his mind.

He knew that now was not the best time to deal with Sha Zhu.

We need to wait for a more suitable opportunity to completely ruin Sha Zhu's reputation.

And the scene before him was just the first step in his plan.

Don't be too impatient for success, otherwise you may fail.

Turned back to the house, ready to wait for the next opportunity to come.

Sha Zhu was walking hurriedly on his way home, carrying a basket of fresh vegetables he had just bought from the market.

He was in a good mood, but when he thought of the embarrassing experience in front of Jia's house last night, his brows unconsciously furrowed.

Jia Zhang, the notoriously fierce old lady in the courtyard, was standing at the door of her house at this moment, with her hands on her hips and a look of impatience on her face.

As soon as he saw Sha Zhu, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior.

"Shazhu, you are finally here! Come in quickly, we have something to talk about!" Jia Zhang's voice was extremely urgent, as if there was something important to discuss.

Although Sha Zhu was reluctant in his heart, he didn't want to offend Jia Zhang too much when he thought about his relationship with Qin Huairu.

He sighed, put the basket of vegetables aside, and walked into the gate of the Jia family with gritted teeth.

As soon as Jia Zhang saw Sha Zhu enter the room, a smug smile immediately appeared on her face.

He walked quickly to Shazhu and suddenly reached out and patted him lightly on the buttocks.

This action made Sha Zhu feel very uncomfortable. His face changed slightly and he wanted to explode but held back.

"Oh, Silly Zhu, look at you, kid, why are you still so shy?" Jia Zhang said with a pretended intimacy smile, as if her previous behavior was just an unintentional joke.

Sha Zhu cursed inwardly, but could only pretend to be calm and sit in the living room of the Jia family.

He looked around and found that the children of the Jia family were not at home, and he couldn't help feeling confused.

"Where did all the children go?" Sha Zhu asked tentatively.

"Oh, they went to school. Silly Zhu, what we are going to talk about today is very important, you must listen carefully." As Jia Zhang said this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

Sha Zhu felt nervous, he didn't know what he was about to face.

Just then, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past the door and caught his attention.

Looking up, I saw a mysterious man in black standing at the door, staring at me.

The man's name is Chen Fei. He is proficient in various spells and magic, which can make people suffer misfortune without knowing it.

Sha Zhu felt a chill in his heart.

When Chen Fei saw that Sha Zhu noticed him, a strange smile appeared on his face.

He walked slowly into the house, took out a talisman from his arms, and chanted the spell softly.

The talisman flickered with a dim light, as if some mysterious power was surging.

"Silly Zhu, you'd better be careful. This talisman is a curse talisman that I prepared specially for you. As soon as you step into this room, you will be fixed in place and unable to move." Chen Fei's voice was low and gloomy, which made people shudder.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but feel panicked.

Just as I was about to turn around and run away, I found that my body could no longer move.

She widened her eyes in horror as she watched Fade Chen approaching her step by step.

"Chen Fei! What on earth do you want to do?" Sha Zhu shouted loudly, his voice filled with fear and anger.

Chen Fei did not answer his question, but just smiled coldly and put the talisman in his hand on Sha Zhu's forehead.

A cold feeling instantly spread throughout Sha Zhu's body, and he felt his consciousness beginning to blur.

At this moment, Jia Zhang suddenly pounced on him and hugged Sha Zhu tightly.

The movements were rough and hasty, making Sha Zhu feel very uncomfortable.

He struggled desperately to break free, but found himself powerless.
