Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

Before He Lin arranged accommodation for the night, Yu Li saw through He Lin's thoughts and pulled Haitang directly back to the backyard.

He Lin looked at Yang Xue, who was also feeling aggrieved, with tears in his eyes.

Xiaoxue blamed Yu Li in her heart, thinking that Sister Li was really useless. She had thought that she could share some of the firepower with her, but in the end she ran away without fighting, leaving her to fight alone.

He Lin felt a little upset and wanted to dig a tunnel in this courtyard.

Fortunately, there is the gentle sister Xiaoxue, so the long night doesn’t seem lonely.

The next day came in a blink of an eye, and He Lin went to the steel mill early in the morning.

This trip to Pingcheng was led by Deputy Director Li, along with Security Chief Li Jinshan and driver Xiao Wang.

Li Huaide said in advance that this was a reward for him to get the supply of materials. He Lin was just a bystander and had no specific tasks, so it was basically like a public-funded tour.

Li Jinshan was in charge of security work and was also equipped with a gun. This was also a privilege of large state-owned factories, as the security department was allocated guns.

Xiao Wang is also an experienced driver, and is responsible for driving for the leaders in the factory.

Li Jinshan took the lead and sat in the front passenger seat, while Li Huaide and He Lin sat in the back seat. Fortunately, the jeep was quite spacious, so it was not crowded at all with these four big men sitting in it.

The distance from Sijiucheng to Pingcheng is less than 400 kilometers.

It’s not like in later times where you can take high-speed trains or highways and arrive in a short time.

If we set out in the morning, it would probably be afternoon by the time we got to the destination.

As a result, not long after setting out, He Lin regretted taking part in this "tour". The condition of the car and the bumpy road made the trip so painful.

Li Huaide and Li Jinshan were obviously frequent business trips, so they were used to it and could even fall asleep as their bodies swayed with the ups and downs of the vehicle.

He Lin had never traveled far by car in that era, and he was somewhat unable to adapt to the situation. When he arrived in Pingcheng, he felt like a broken body.

The destination of this trip is Pingcheng No. 1 Coal Mine.

Anyway, He Lin didn't have any specific mission, so he got off the car early when he arrived nearby. He wanted to take a walk somewhere to calm down, and they agreed to meet at the guesthouse in the evening.

Pingcheng is a big city with a rich historical heritage. The Ming Dynasty once set up a general headquarters here to manage hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. It was known as "Pingcheng's soldiers and horses are the best in the world", and the people here also have a martial spirit.

He Lin recalled a Ming Dynasty novel he had read in his previous life. It described the war that took place here during the Zhengde period, with an army of 100,000 fighting against the Tatars. It was quite thrilling.

The noodles in this place are very famous. He Lin found a larger noodle shop and ordered a bowl of knife-cut noodles.

Because it was not yet time for dinner, besides He Lin, there was only an old man eating nearby.

Soon the steaming hot knife-cut noodles were served. He Lin had been hungry for most of the day, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating. As expected of the capital of noodles, the taste was quite good.

"Young man, are you from out of town? This is not the way to eat noodles. Adding a little vinegar will give it a different flavor."

The old man next to him was wearing a clean Zhongshan suit and had also ordered a bowl of knife-cut noodles. He started talking to He Lin.

"What the old gentleman said is true. I came from the old city. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. So I'll try the taste of this old vinegar."

"That's right. Sijiu City is not close to here. I stayed there for a while two years ago."

After finishing the noodles, He Lin took out a Daqianmen cigarette from his pocket and gave one to the old man.

"A cigarette after dinner is better than being a living god. This little brother is a man who knows how to live."

"You are really experienced. I am just joking."

It was still early and He Lin had nothing to do, so he chatted with the old man next to him.

Suddenly, there was a sound of chasing and shouting outside, and two young men in black rushed into the noodle shop with weapons in their hands. They pointed the guns at He Lin and the old man and glanced around the room.

"Everyone in the restaurant, come out and squat nearby. If anyone dares to blow up the thorns, I will kill him immediately."

He Lin secretly thought that this was not good. What was going on? Wouldn’t it be better to rest at home for a few more days and do what he wanted to do?

It’s all because I believed Li Huaide’s nonsense. Why did I come to Pingcheng for no reason? Now look what I have done, I’ve been kidnapped by the spies.

He has the space and martial arts at his disposal, but no matter how good his kung fu is, he is still afraid of a kitchen knife, and no matter how strong his skills are, he cannot be as sharp as a gun barrel.

He Lin remained silent and squatted against the wall next to him, cooperating with the spy.

The old man next to him didn't seem like an ordinary person either. When faced with such a scene, he didn't panic at all and squatted next to He Lin.

Several other hotel staff members did not have as good a mental state as them. They came out trembling and were kicked a few times by the spies.

There was a clicking sound coming from outside. He Lin knew it was the sound of guns being loaded. There must be a large group of police officers surrounding the place.

"Listen, spies inside. You have been surrounded. Lay down your weapons quickly and strive for leniency. This is your only way out."

"Fuck you! You guys forced me to this point. Now prepare a fully fueled jeep immediately. Otherwise, I will blow this place up."

As he spoke, one of the spies unbuttoned his clothes, revealing a circle of grenades around his waist.

He Lin's heart sank. He felt so unlucky.

If he only had two pistols, he would still have the confidence to charge forward. But in the current situation, he was not sure he could subdue two spies at the same time and control them from detonating the grenade.

What should I do? If I die here in vain, wouldn’t it be a pity for my Xiaoxue and Sister Li?

And poor Yu Shui, she finally managed to get out of the environment without parental care, and then she lost her brother. I don’t know if she can survive this.

He Lin was lost in thoughts, and the police outside were also afraid to act rashly. After all, there were five or six hostages inside, so the situation became deadlocked for a while.

"Which one of you is the cook? Go in and make some food and bring it over. If you don't want to die, don't even think about playing tricks. Be careful or I'll take you with me."

A fat cook next to him said he didn't dare and went inside to busy himself.

He Lin had no way of contacting the people outside, and the police outside didn't know that there was a martial arts master like him inside. If both sides could cooperate well, they could still resolve this crisis.

Soon, the fat chef brought out two bowls of noodles. The two spies were very vigilant and ate separately, making sure one of them was on alert at all times.

One of the spies went to eat, and now only the spy with the bomb was watching them. He Lin thought this was an opportunity and was thinking about the success rate of his own action.

The old man next to him touched He Lin with his toes, and when their eyes met, He Lin saw the excitement of fighting in the other's eyes. This was a familiar feeling he had in the army.
