Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Wang Qiang tried to smile. He didn't want to worry He Yuzhu, but the pain made it impossible for him to hide his emotions. He shook his head gently and said, "It's okay, it's just a little problem. I will be fine."

He Yuzhu looked into Wang Qiang's eyes and knew he was lying. She knew he was a strong man who never showed weakness easily, but this time, he couldn't hide his pain. She was determined to do everything she could to help him get through this difficult time.

When Wang Qiang learned that Lou Xiao'e was a widow, he could not help but feel deep sadness and sympathy. He knew how difficult and painful it was for a woman to be a widow, especially in this alley full of dangers and challenges.

Lou Xiao'e is a young widow in the hutong. Her husband has passed away for some time, leaving her to raise her young child alone. Wang Qiang often sees her silently bearing the pressure of life. Although her life is not easy, she always supports herself and her child strongly.

Wang Qiang knew that Lou Xiao'e's situation was not easy and she needed more care and help, especially in this alley where she had no relatives or supporters. He was determined to do everything he could to help Lou Xiao'e overcome the difficulties and let her find hope and courage in life again.

One afternoon, Wang Qiang came to Lou Xiao'e's home with some fresh ingredients and daily necessities. He knew that Lou Xiao'e often faced food shortages and lack of daily necessities, so he specially prepared some things for her.

"Sister Lou, I brought you some things, I hope they can help you." Wang Qiang said gently to Lou Xiao'e, his voice full of care and warmth.

Lou Xiao'e was very surprised and grateful to see what Wang Qiang brought for her. She didn't expect that Wang Qiang would care so much about her situation and be willing to take the initiative to help her. Tears flashed in her eyes, and she felt that she was not alone because she had such a kind and reliable friend by her side.

Wang Qiang realized that he needed more clues to understand the real purpose of the black hand behind the scene. After thinking about it, he decided to adopt a strategy, which was to lure a suspicious person in the alley, Bang Geng, and try to get some key information from him.

Bang Geng is a somewhat strange person in the alley. He often shows a mysterious aura that makes people feel uneasy. Wang Qiang suspects that he may be colluding with the black hand behind the scenes, so he decides to find him and try to get some useful information from him.

One night, Wang Qiang found Bang Geng and tried to talk to him. He deliberately brought up some topics related to the kidnapping case in an attempt to elicit Bang Geng's reaction. However, Bang Geng did not show any abnormality, he just listened silently and seemed unwilling to talk about the topic.

"Do you know about the recent kidnapping case? I heard there are some unknown inside stories behind it." Wang Qiang tried to lure Banggeng to speak, and his tone was full of inducement.

Bang Geng was silent for a moment, then he slowly said, "I don't know much about this matter. I'm just an ordinary resident of the alley and have nothing to do with these things."

Wang Qiang sighed inwardly, knowing that it would not be easy to obtain useful information from Bang Geng. However, he was unwilling to give up, and was determined to continue working hard until he found the real purpose of the black hand behind the scenes.

Wang Qiang tried to get some useful clues from Bang Geng, but he didn't expect to be deceived by Bang Geng in the end. During his conversation with Bang Geng, Wang Qiang found himself trapped in a well-laid trap.

Bang Geng was very cautious and careful. He did not reveal any key information, but deliberately misled Wang Qiang and led him in the wrong direction. Wang Qiang originally hoped to get some clues about the kidnapping case from Bang Geng, but it was completely in vain.

When Wang Qiang realized that he had been cheated, he felt deeply lost and frustrated. He felt like he had been deceived, and he began to doubt his own judgment, and at the same time he felt angry and dissatisfied with Bang Geng.

At this time, Wang Qiang began to reflect on his actions and decisions, trying to find out why he made a mistake. He realized that he was too impulsive and credulous in his conversation with Bang Geng, and did not think carefully about the other party's words and deeds, which led to him being deceived.

After being deceived by Banggeng, Wang Qiang felt frustrated and disappointed, but he did not fall into despair. Instead, he decided to divert his attention, temporarily get rid of the predicament, and adjust his mood.

In order to relax himself, he decided to cook a delicious dinner. In the kitchen, he began to prepare the ingredients and cook delicious dishes. He skillfully cut the vegetables and seasoned them, while letting his mind immerse in the joy of cooking.

The steaming dishes exuded an alluring aroma that filled the entire courtyard. Wang Qiang's mood gradually brightened up, and he felt the joy and satisfaction of cooking, which made him forget the setback he had just encountered.

"Sister Lou, dinner is ready, come and try it!" Wang Qiang shouted and brought the prepared food to the living room.

Lou Xiao'e smelled the fragrance and came over, her eyes sparkling with gratitude and joy. "Brother Wang, you are so kind. I don't know how to thank you for such a sumptuous dinner."

Wang Qiang smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing, just a little token of my appreciation. Eat it. I hope you like it."

The two sat around the table, tasting the food that Wang Qiang had carefully prepared, chatting and laughing. In the delicious food and warm atmosphere, Wang Qiang felt an inexplicable happiness and satisfaction, which made him full of confidence and hope for the future.

Wang Qiang felt that he needed some time alone, so he decided to go out for a walk, letting the fresh air and the scenery outside the courtyard soothe his mood. He walked through the narrow alley and stepped onto the familiar path.

As he walked, he was lost in his thoughts. He thought back to what had happened today and his recent fight against the Black Hand. He began to reflect on his actions and wondered if there were other ways to resolve the current dilemma. He realized that he needed to be smarter and more cautious in order to fight against the enemies hiding in the dark.

As he walked in the alley, he would greet the neighbors he passed by from time to time. They were all familiar faces to him, part of the alley. Their conversations and laughter made Wang Qiang feel a little warm and comforted, as if telling him that he was not alone.

As the night deepened, the twinkling lights set off the tranquility of the alley. Wang Qiang stopped and looked up at the night sky. At this moment, he felt the vastness of the universe and his own insignificance, but at the same time he also felt the inner peace and determination.
