Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

He Yuzhu picked up the cigarette on the bedside table, lit it, and took a long puff.

"Whoo~~~"

With a long exhalation, He Yuzhu relaxed.

Then he looked at Master Sun calmly.

"Why?"

But now He Yuzhu's two hands were clenched into fists, and he was just about to bite his back teeth.

"Why?"

Master Sun smiled disdainfully.

"Because he is the leader, he can make the decision."

"I'm not convinced."

The anger that had been suppressed with great difficulty was directly provoked by Master Sun's words.

"Why am I out there risking my life, while he is in the office, protected from the wind and rain? Why have I worked diligently for four years, only to have him completely negate everything just because I have a bad reputation? Why am I not allowed to fight back when I meet a desperado who wants to kill me? Why, I ask, why?"

He Yuzhu was so excited that he didn't care about the injuries on his body and stood up directly.

"Master, tell me who made the decision, and I'll go find him. I want to see what he can say when I stand in front of him with all my injuries."

"Sit down for me."

Although, facing the excited He Yuzhu, Master Sun spoke very calmly.

However, He Yuzhu was keenly aware of the murderous aura emanating from Master Sun.

He Yuzhu was a little bit unbelieving.

"Master, you treat me like this too?"

"I told you to sit down, did you hear me?"

Master Sun said it again calmly with murderous intent.

"I won't! I've come back from the gates of hell, why would I be afraid of being sent back again?"

Now, He Yuzhu stopped pretending.

The resentment and frustration from the previous life and the resentment hidden in my heart for more than ten years,

And this time, the injustice and dissatisfaction all burst out while the blood and anger in his body were still there.

Now, the murderous aura on He Yuzhu seemed so insignificant when compared with that of Master Sun.

However, the faint red color of the gauze on He Yuzhu's body and his red eyes allowed He Yuzhu to compete with Master Sun for a while.

"Master, I have one last question. Has this been judged as a mistake by the higher-ups?"

He Yuzhu was already gritting his back teeth.

"Yes, if it says you did something wrong, then you did something wrong. Since you did something wrong, you have to admit it, and you have to stand up even if you get beaten."

Master Sun didn't pay attention to what He Yuzhu said "again", but spoke calmly.

This time, He Yuzhu calmed down.

"okay, I get it."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu lit a cigarette for himself and sat down with his head lowered.

"Keep your head up."

Although He Yuzhu heard it, he said nothing and continued smoking in silence.

"Don't make me say it a third time when I told you to raise your head."

He Yuzhu, knowing Master Sun's habits, raised his head obediently.

After all, he is injured all over. Even if he wants to do something, he has to wait until his wounds heal.

Looking at He Yuzhu's red eyes, Master Sun was also a little frightened.

"Why, you want to learn martial arts, and do the same thing where a common man's anger makes blood splatter five steps away."

He Yuzhu said nothing, just watched Master Sun smoking quietly.

Seeing He Yuzhu like this, Master Sun suddenly became anxious.

He raised his hand and slapped He Yuzhu in the face.

He Yuzhu didn't dodge and took the blow.

I have to say it, Master Sun was really cruel this time.

The corners of He Yuzhu's mouth had begun to bleed.

"Are you stupid?"

Master Sun didn't care about this and hit back again.

"I was beaten so many times by my superiors. Otherwise, I would have been a brigade commander or even a division commander by now. I never said I would seek revenge."

"Aren't you still the head of the group? Moreover, you have a lot of comrades behind you to help you. But what about me? My father is gone, my master doesn't care about me anymore, and I'm all alone. If I don't fight hard, what can I do?"

He Yuzhu just looked at Master Sun straight and spoke very calmly.

"Come on, Master, tell me, what should I do? What else can I do?"

"You still want to give it a try, right? I'll let you give it a try."

As he said this, Master Sun slapped him in the face again.

"Alone, right? I'll leave you alone."

"Pa", Master Sun hit again.

"I don't care, right?"

"Snapped".

After three consecutive slaps, blood began to flow from both corners of He Yuzhu's mouth.

"How are you, awake?"

"Ah."

A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him, He Yuzhu agreed sullenly.

"Hu~~"

Master Sun breathed a sigh of relief.

The tone also softened.

"Zhu Zi, you said you are alone, what about your sister? You also said that your father is gone. If you really go and fight, who will take care of your sister? Your sister is only 8 years old now. You also said just now that I will not take care of you, so can you be sure that I can take care of your sister after you go and fight?"

When He Yushui was mentioned, He Yuzhu's heart immediately began to relax.

Logically speaking, He Yuzhu is now a time traveler and should not be too concerned about He Yushui.

After all, she is not your biological sister, right?

However, it has been 4 and a half years, almost 5 years since He Yuzhu came here.

When the little girl couldn't even walk steadily, she followed He Yuzhu all day long.

This one has been 4 and a half years, almost 5 years.

Even a person with a heart of stone should be warmed up.

What's more, He Yuzhu is a sentimental person.

No, it can even be said that He Yuzhu transformed all the debt he owed to his father in his previous life into a desire for family affection.

After nearly five years of contact, He Yuzhu now really treats He Yushui as a family member.

At one point, He Yuzhu even began to regard Master Sun as his master.

Otherwise, He Yuzhu wouldn't have been so excited when he heard that Master Sun would not help him.

At this time, Master Sun saw that He Yuzhu had begun to waver, so he struck while the iron was hot.

"Zhu Zi, think about it. If you really take this step, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely succeed. But have you ever thought about your fate? A criminal! Okay, at worst you will die together. But what about Xiao Yushui? Is an eight-year-old child going to live with the title of "sister of a murderer" and be looked down upon by others?"

Now, He Yuzhu, who had already experienced living under the strange gaze of a "murderer", could no longer hold it in.

"What can I do? I'm being chased and killed. I can't defend myself. I can only stand up and wait for death, right?"

At this moment, all the grievances that He Yuzhu had suffered in his two lifetimes began to erupt.

"I really deserve to die! I absolutely deserve to die! Why don't I die? If I die, won't there be less trouble? If I don't fight back and just endure the beatings, and wait until they have had enough, won't there be less trouble?"

Thinking of his past life, He Yuzhu could no longer control his tears.

"Master, I am so wronged. I have been working under you for four and a half years. My colleagues at work all know that I am your apprentice. However, they also laugh at me. I am obviously your apprentice, but my rank is like that of a handyman.

I have been awarded, and I risked my life to get it. But now, my rank is lower than that of a clerk in the reserve group of the Public Security Committee who joined the same period as me.

It's okay if the level is low. I don't blame you. After all, I call you Master, and the whole unit knows that I'm going to be promoted soon. You never know who will gossip about me behind my back.

But now, why don’t you support me?

Even the public security comrades at the district office know that I did nothing wrong, so why can't you support me?

I am obviously a member of the Public Security Committee, how could I have arrested the wrong bad guy? Even more, I should not have saved people, so I should have watched my colleagues being beaten to death, and then I should have been beaten to death too, right?

What do those people who sit in the office drinking tea and reading newspapers all day know?

Just with such a simple sentence, all my efforts have gone to waste, Master!

I worked hard for four years, but in the end, it was all in vain, Master!

Moreover, I went through life and death outside and finally crawled back from the gates of hell. I stayed in the hospital for two days. Two more days passed and not a single person from them showed up.

Even the decision to fire me was conveyed by you, Master.

If you hadn’t told me, when my injury healed, I would be excited and think I would be rewarded when I returned, and then a basin of cold water would be poured on me and I would be told that I was fired, so that they could laugh at me, right, Master?

Aren’t they afraid of discouraging the people below them?

But the most disheartening thing is that Xiao Wang.

No matter what, I was the one who saved him.

But he just had a head wound that needed bandaging, and he was discharged from the hospital after two days. He didn't even bring anything to see me. It would be a stretch for him to come over with nothing in his hands to say thank you during the two days I was awake. No, not at all."

He Yuzhu complained a lot, talking about whatever came to his mind, and in the end, he didn't even know what he was saying.

Anyway, talking was not He Yuzhu's purpose.

He Yuzhu’s purpose was simple - to cry.

Just cry.

Wailing loudly, crying with one hand in one's hands, sobbing uncontrollably, and shedding tears silently.

Anyway, just do whatever makes you feel good and vent your emotions.

Master Sun didn't respond, but just patted He Yuzhu's shoulder gently as a comfort.

After a while, He Yuzhu finished venting his anger, and he wiped away his tears and stopped crying.

"Have you let it out? Are you not crying anymore?"

Watching He Yuzhu wipe away his tears, Master Sun lit a cigarette for him.

"Now that you're calm, tell me what you want to do next."

Master Sun also started wrapping his pipe.

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Ideas? What other ideas can I have? Since the district committee doesn't want me anymore, I'll just find a factory or a restaurant to be a cook. After all, a living person can't be suffocated to death by urine. We're still alive anyway."

At this moment, He Yuzhu gave up.

Really gave up.

I no longer think about those nonsense like clinging to someone powerful.

Anyway, He Yuzhu has experienced the difficulties of being eighteen before.

At least, I don't have to fight a crime this time, right?

"Well, that's more like human language."

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't seem to be lying, Master Sun nodded with satisfaction.

"You are still young, and you have a lot of life ahead of you. Don't think about killing this person or that person every time you encounter setbacks. Remember, your master is not dead yet."

"Ok?"

When Master Sun said this, He Yuzhu always felt something was wrong.
