Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

"hehe……"

Yan Jiecheng laughed in anger and said, "You are stupid. Do you think I haven't thought about it? How can you get into those houses that are locked tightly? Squeeze in through the cracks?"

There are indeed two empty houses in the entire courtyard, one is the ancestral home of the Cheng family, and the other is the house that Sister Luo sold back to the street office. Both houses are tightly locked with big locks, and there is no way to get in unless you break the door.

"Humph, since we've been friends since childhood, I was going to help you.

Since you are so stubborn, don't follow me."

After Liu Guangtian finished speaking, he called out to his younger brother behind him, ignored the Yan brothers and sisters, and walked towards the house where Sister Luo stayed.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Yan Jiecheng shouted at Liu Guangtian's back, but the other party ignored him at all.

"Brother, it's not a good idea to stay here any longer. Why don't we go over and take a look?"

Yan Jiedi, who was squatting by the wall, stood up and said tremblingly.

Although the wind was relatively weak near the wall, Yan Jiedi was still feeling very cold and had to find a sheltered house to spend the night.

"This……"

Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

I just said something harsh, it would be so embarrassing if I went to ask for help with such a flattering attitude.

"Jie Di, if he doesn't leave, let's go.

The three of us didn't provoke Liu Guangtian and the others."

At the critical moment, Yan Jiefang decisively abandoned his eldest brother and called on his younger brothers and sisters to go together to find a way out.

Yan Jiekuang followed behind his second brother. Yan Jiedi glanced at his eldest brother, and finally lowered his head and chose to follow the main force.

Seeing that he was left alone, Yan Jiecheng was a little scared. He wanted to chase after them, but when he thought of the faces of Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian, he hesitated and could not take a step.

Liu Guangtian has not made any progress yet. It is hard to say whether he can find a place to rest if he goes there now. He will definitely be laughed at.

After weighing the pros and cons and making some calculations in his mind, Yan Jiecheng decided to keep his troops in place.

If I really find a place to rest, it won’t be too late to go over and apologize.

Yan Jiecheng closed his eyes and waited quietly against the wall. After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps.

Opening his eyes, Yan Jiecheng recognized the familiar outlines of his younger brothers and sisters in the moonlight.

Seeing the three of them coming back together, Yan Jiecheng felt relieved and a little lost.

They were relieved because their judgment was correct. Liu Guangtian was indeed talking big and fooling them. Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng did not follow him like a fool.

They felt lost because they still hadn't found a place to rest until now.

If Liu Guangtian and his team really had a way to open the door, Yan Jiefang and his team would only need to send one person back to report the news, and they would never come back together.

"Well, you got fooled.

I told you not to go there.

Liu Guangtian is just bragging. If he really had a way, would he talk nonsense with you?"

Before Yan Jiefang opened his mouth, Yan Jiecheng held his waist and sighed.

"Yan Jiecheng, it's all your fault!"

Unexpectedly, when Yan Jiefang returned, he started complaining to his eldest brother.

"If you hadn't pissed off Liu Guangtian, how could the three of us be blocked outside the door!"

"what?!"

Yan Jiecheng was horrified and frowned as he asked, "Did Liu Guangtian really open the door?"

Yan Jiecheng had seen the door of Sister Luo's house before. Without the key, it could only be broken open with a tool like an axe.

But there is not even a stick in the yard, where can I get an axe?

"It opened. Liu Guangtian poked the lock with a piece of wire for a while, and then the lock opened."

Yan Jiekuang waved his hands, unable to hide his shock.

"Lock picking is a thief's skill. Where did Liu Guangtian learn it?"

Yan Jiecheng frowned even deeper.

The skill of lock picking these days is extraordinary and not something that ordinary people can master.

"Hey, don't worry about that.

It is only right that we go over and apologize to Liu Guangtian and beg him to let us have a place to rest."

Yan Jiefang went straight forward and pushed his eldest brother towards Sister Luo's house.

“It’s up to you if you want to avoid spending the night out tonight.

A good man never suffers a loss in front of him, so don't lose face."

Yan Jiekuang also joined in to help push the eldest brother forward.

"You... I can walk by myself, please don't push me..."

Yan Jiecheng, who had not yet reacted, was pushed all the way to Sister Luo's house by his younger brothers and sisters.

Yan Jiefang let go of his hand and was the first to step forward and shout, "Liu Guangtian, I am here to apologize to you. He was blinded by greed and did not recognize the great man. Please do us a favor and forgive us this time."

As he spoke, Yan Jiefang signaled with his eyes to Yan Jiecheng behind him.

Under the gaze of his three younger brothers and sisters, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to beg for mercy: "Liu Guangtian, I was wrong just now, I'm sorry."

Liu Guangtian's mocking voice came from inside the house through the window.

"Didn't you say I have no brains? Why are you, a man with brains, coming to ask me for help? Go and find a solution yourself."

Faced with Liu Guangtian's humiliation, Yan Jiecheng was so angry that his teeth were itching, but a gust of cold wind extinguished his anger. He had to control his emotions and pray again.

"I was stupid, I was wrong.

It's very cold outside, but since we've known each other for so many years, please let us in to rest for a night."

“From what you said, it seems so reluctant and there is no sincerity at all.

I think so.

If you kneel down and kowtow to me, I will let you in, how about that? "

The four siblings outside the house were all stunned. They didn't expect Liu Guangtian to be so cruel as to make such a request.

"Brother Guangqi, stop making trouble.

We have been friends since childhood, it is not fair for you to do this."

Yan Jiefang couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

It would be fine to give Liu Guangtian and the others some advantage with words, but kneeling down was really too much.

During the Chinese New Year, the children of the Yan family did not kowtow to their biological parents, so why should they kowtow to a peer?

"Who are you calling brother? I'm not your brother. My last name is Liu, and your last name is Yan. We are two families.

Do you want to take my last name?"

Instead of giving in, Liu Guangtian took the opportunity to retort a few words.

Being beaten by his father at home and not being welcomed by his neighbors outside, Liu Guangtian had been holding back a lot of anger, but he was young and had no one to vent his anger on.

The dispute with Yan Jiecheng tonight was just a fuse. In fact, Liu Guangtian just wanted to take the opportunity to play a trick on the Yan brothers and sisters and vent his anger.

"Liu Guangtian, don't go too far!

Tell me the truth, where did you learn how to pick locks?

Believe it or not, I will expose this matter and send you to juvenile detention center."

Yan Jiecheng is not a pushover either. If he is pushed to this point, he will definitely find a way to fight back.

"It's up to you, go if you want.

Anyway, as long as I insist that the lock is broken, who do you think they will believe?

You are a brainless idiot, why don’t you kneel down and kowtow to me.

Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll forgive you.

Otherwise, just stay outside."
