Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

At the door of the main hall, the dirty He Yushui was kneeling on the ground crying. Behind her was Liu Guangtian who was still sucking his nose, and on the other side was the smart little Qin Jingru.

"Bad guy, have you done something bad again! Tell me, sister, and I will help you vent your anger!" Qin Jingru was holding He Yushui and glaring at Xu Damao, but He Yushui was completely unmoved.

Xu Damao sighed. He wondered whether Yi Zhonghai and others would find Qinjiatun. After all, they could find out if they were willing to investigate. Xu Damao was on a business trip to show movies, and there was a record in the Propaganda Department.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I didn't expect that it was He Yushui who came? Looking at her and Liu Guangtian's dirty trouser legs and wet shoes, it was obvious that they had walked all the way here.

This was 1958. Even if they took the bus and then walked, it would take them at least 6 hours to get there. It took them nearly 3 hours to ride their bike!

Xu Damao originally thought it was Yi Zhonghai, or he could ask someone to find him, or at least call the brigade headquarters or something like that? But he didn't expect it to be He Yushui.

In other words, Yi Zhonghai was too lazy to do this, so he told He Yushui, who was still in school, about the incident and asked her to come to him to plead for mercy. Yi Zhonghai had probably given up on Sha Zhu.

And Liu Guangtian was most likely sent by the second uncle Liu Haizhong. No matter whether the second uncle Liu Haizhong received money or sent Liu Guangtian because he was begged for help and couldn't refuse, he did a very nice thing in this matter.

In this kind of weather, how the hell could Yi Zhonghai do such a thing by letting a little girl run so far?

When the secretary and the village chief saw this, they turned around and looked at Xu Damao, "Brother Damao, what's going on?"

"It's the middle of the day, there are villagers coming and going, and a little girl kneeling in front of the dining table of the brigade headquarters, this is not a good influence."

Xu Damao put down his glass and said helplessly, "This girl is from the same courtyard as me. Her brother beat me up a few days ago and I was seriously injured and hospitalized. I called the police, so her brother was arrested by the police."

The village chief and the secretary looked at each other. Xu Fangying didn't look like he was seriously injured.

Qin Jingru wanted to say something chivalrous, but the secretary glared at her: "Jingru, go home! The village chief and I are here!"

Qin Jingru could still yell at Xu Damao, but she didn't dare to go too far in front of the secretary and the village chief.

It is normal for my father to pamper me, but there is no reason for the secretary and the village chief to pamper me.

Are you making a scene here and asking for a beating?

She stomped her feet in frustration and turned to leave, but halfway through she sneaked over to Widow Zhang and hid there to watch what was happening here.

No matter how cruel Xu Damao was, he couldn't lose his temper at a little girl.

In the original TV series, no matter how fiercely he fought with Sha Zhu, he never bullied He Yushui.

And after inheriting all of Xu Damao's memories, he also remembered that every time his original body was beaten by Sha Zhu, as long as He Yushui was present, she would be the first to rush over to stop it, and Yi Zhonghai would only come to persuade him in a hypocritical manner after Sha Zhu succeeded. As for the deaf old lady, there is no need to mention it.

So, when He Yushui knelt down in front of him, the little compassion left in Xu Damao's heart was moved.

He stood up and said, "Yushui, get up, eat something first, and come back with me to see your brother in the afternoon."

It's not that Xu Damao is a saint, but this matter has to be resolved, right? If he escaped these three days and Sha Zhu was directly sentenced, then of course everyone would be happy.

But Xu Damao knew that the possibility was very small. Not to mention other things, Yi Zhonghai might give up Sha Zhu, but the deaf old lady would not give up. As long as she went to Director Yang for help, Sha Zhu would most likely be saved.

What's more, the rain has come kneeling in front of him.

Well, let’s go back and have a good talk with that idiot. If he’s just locked up and sentenced, then isn’t that the end of the story?

You should know that the original name of "Birds in the Courtyard" is "Silly Zhu"!

Moreover, this body seemed to have an instinct that whenever Sha Zhu was mentioned, it would want to play a trick on him and compete with him.

If he was really sentenced and taken away directly, Xu Damao wouldn't mind being done with it, but Xu Damao's body would seem to have lost its power, which would be bad for the synchronization rate between the soul and the body!

Let it out, put it in, let it out again, put it in again!

Blackmail him, beat him up, ruin his blind date (this can be done with an uncle and the Jia family), and give birth to a son before him! This is the original body's obsession, and it is impossible not to fulfill it.

Hey - let's just play! Let's play slowly!

"what?"

He Yushui was surprised. She raised her head and stared at Xu Damao in a daze, with a puzzled look on her face. Even Liu Guangtian next to her was stunned, as were Zhang Guafu and Qin Jingru who were hiding and watching from a distance.

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu are sworn enemies. How could they let each other go if they had the chance?

Shouldn't Xu Damao first mock him and then take the opportunity to ask for benefits? It was always like this before, right?

Why is it so simple... and direct today?

Xu Damao didn't have time to wait for them to be dazed, so he directly helped He Yushui up and pulled Liu Guangtian to the dining table.

"Eat quickly, and we'll go back after we're done."

Liu Guangtian was cold and hungry. He had only eaten two steamed buns when he went out in the morning. He couldn't resist looking at the leftovers on the table. There was meat on it!

"Brother Damao, I won't be polite then—"

Without waiting for Xu Damao to reply, he started eating.

"Drink some wine to warm your body." Xu Damao poured him a small cup. Liu Guangtian was so moved that he quickly took it respectfully.

Xu Damao apologized to the village chief and the secretary for not bringing guests home, but looking at the rain and Liu Guangtian's expressions, he was really worried that the two would faint on the way back.

The village head and the secretary said it was okay, as it was originally a treat for Xu Damao. Strictly speaking, they came here just to enjoy the food and drinks, and they had almost finished eating. So the two of them left first, lest the two young people feel uncomfortable while eating, and Xu Damao would not be able to talk about things.

He Yushui was still in a daze, not knowing what Xu Damao was up to. She sat on the bench and dared not move. Even though her stomach was growling, she did not dare to move.

Xu Damao took a puff of his cigarette and said patiently, "Yushui, don't worry. Just because you can come here to find me, I'll give you the letter of apology."

"Can……"

He Yushui was also confused. The old man did not tell her clearly how seriously Xu Damao was injured. When she saw Xu Damao today, she thought that Xu Damao was pretending.

But regardless of whether he was pretending or not, it was too easy for him to agree to this, wasn't it? I haven't even mentioned the letter of understanding yet.

Is this still the bad Xu Damao? Maybe he has changed into a different person?

Although the result is good and far exceeds my expectations, why do I always feel it is unreal?

"Brother Damao, you didn't lie to me?" she asked doubtfully.

Xu Damao's face darkened. How many bad things did this predecessor do? He even offered to give a letter of apology, but no one believed him?

After his repeated assurances, He Yushui reluctantly believed it and started to eat.

After lunch, the village chief and the secretary brought another big bag of local specialties, but this time Xu Damao took the initiative to give him money, which made the village chief and the secretary wonder if Xu Damao had changed. Where did the greedy and lustful projectionist who only knew how to brag go?

But as long as you are willing to show another movie in our village, I don’t care who you are.

In Xu Damao's opinion, the matter of local specialties could be big or small, and he didn't want to be reported and ruined by such a small matter. Moreover, He Yushui and Liu Guangtian also testified today, and no one could use this to make a fuss in the future!

Our Xu Damao is also aware of this!

We will never be greedy for even a single penny or thread from our fellow peasants - we will exchange them for money and notes!

In the afternoon, Xu Damao went back first, and asked He Yushui and Liu Guangtian to take the ox cart in the village back to the city, and then transfer to a bus where there was one.

I specifically told He Yushui to go to the police station to find me when he returned to the city, and not to go back to the Siheyuan first, otherwise things would become troublesome.

He wanted to take He Yushui back directly, but there was a projector tied to the back seat and local specialties were hung on the handlebars. He couldn't let He Yushui sit on the beam, right? Yushui was 16 years old this year, it was not appropriate.

When he left, he gave Widow Zhang a look, which meant, "Wait for me." But Qin Jingru hid behind Widow Zhang. In her opinion, Xu Fangying was a provocation! What he meant was, "What can you do to me?"

Qin Jingru was so angry that she was shaking. She decided to teach this guy a lesson the next time he came!

----------------

At about 4pm, at the Beixinqiao Police Station in Sijiucheng, Xu Damao finally saw Shazhu. He looked depressed, with dark circles under his eyes, a messy head, and bruises on his face. It seemed that he had not eaten well or slept well in here.

He must have been beaten up before, because he accidentally injured a policeman that day!

I don’t know which nerve was disordered or whether the body’s instinct erupted, but Xu Damao suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu!"

"You've got this day too?!"
