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

Inside the police station, Xu Damao and Tang Yuanshan sat face to face. Chen Zhonghua gave them space and let them solve the problem on their own.

Now all the records are unfavorable to Tang Yuanshan. After all, so many people watched him drag Xu Damao into the water.

But nothing happened to Xu Damao, but Tang Yuanshan almost died.

Only the two of them knew what happened underwater. As long as Xu Damao didn't sue Tang Yuanshan, the matter would be ignored. The excuse that Tang Yuanshan had cramps could explain it all. After all, it was normal to have cramps when going into the water to save people in the middle of winter.

The two changed clothes. Tang Yuanshan was wrapped in a blanket and drinking ginger and brown sugar water. His hands were already wrapped in plaster. As expected, all four of his finger bones were cracked. Fortunately, they were not broken because it was difficult to exert force underwater. Xu Damao smoked and looked at him. He didn't dare to look up while drinking water, feeling guilty.

I wanted to kill someone, but he was fine and I almost died.

Shame on you!

If Xu Damao had stayed for half a minute longer, or had not rescued himself, if there had been even the slightest mistake in the middle, he would have had to go see Tainai.

And now his life is in someone else's hands. As long as he says that he committed intentional homicide, he will be taken to target practice. Intentional murder of a state official is a very serious crime.

Moreover, according to the information we got earlier, wasn't this guy a projectionist? How come he became the deputy director in just half a month?

And his kung fu is too exaggerated. Your finger bones are broken. Not to mention that his brain burst, at least you will get a big bump, right?

Could it be that the Bajiquan I have practiced for decades is fake?

Doesn't make sense?

The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while. A doctor was called in to give him an injection to prevent him from choking on too much water and causing pneumonia. Seeing that he had calmed down, Xu Damao asked, "What kind of kung fu are you practicing?"

"Bajiquan, what about you?"

"Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt."

“Those are two different skills.”

"Yeah, I've practiced it all, any questions?"

"But the Golden Bell Cover is an internal skill. When it is fully developed, it will have strong energy to protect the body - but you don't even have a sense of energy!?"

"Ah, there is such a saying, I didn't know that? I just practiced blindly."

"…If you don't want to say it, forget it…"

The two fell into silence again.

"What are you going to do with me?" Tang Yuanshan asked. Boss, I can't beat you, but you have to give me a solution, right?

"Did you receive the secret money from the Hongmen?" Xu Damao did not answer directly, but asked about other things.

"Yes."

"Why? The security department salary seems to be 52, right? It shouldn't be a problem for you to make a living, right?"

"Ten thousand yuan, who wouldn't be tempted? Besides, I can't afford to delay my mother's illness, and I'm the only one with a city hukou among my family of five. And the amount has been reduced, so what can I do?"

“Why don’t you change your household registration to a city hukou?”

"Don't mention it. Wasn't the household registration regulation promulgated and implemented in January last year? I don't know where my mother heard that rural residents can get land in the village and get more food, so she didn't transfer her household registration and continued to stay in the village."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao felt something was not good. Oh, is there also the matter of that old hag Jia Zhang involved?

"I only moved my family to the city last July. We didn't have a house before... and it ended up like this..."

Tang Yuanshan was also very depressed when talking about this. In the first half of last year, the village did have some land and food, although not much. But when the big steel production and big pot meal started, all of it was gone.

His work unit arranged a house for him in July, so he moved his family here. Then the village ran out of extra food, and the food ration was reduced, which made this man helpless. What is the difference between his actions and those who built the Great Wall after the fall of the Qin Dynasty and joined the Nationalist Army in 7?

As a result, I heard from people in the circle that the Hongmen had a hidden reward of 10,000 yuan!

He didn't take it seriously at first, subconsciously thinking that it was not his business. But today he met Xu Damao. They were both in the water. Xu Damao was still climbing up the ice, and he was behind him. He was also an expert in winter swimming!

He had everything going for him, the right time, the right place, and the right people. At that moment, his mind was filled with greed, so he acted decisively.

Ten thousand yuan!

As a security officer, he earns 52 yuan a month, which is considered a high salary. But now the price of food in the pigeon market has tripled, and his family has four rural residents, so they really can't afford it.

Ten thousand yuan is his salary for sixteen years.

So, I sat here.

I have no regrets now.

"Just say it straight. Whether you want to kill me or cut me up, it's just a matter of one word." Tang Yuanshan was very annoyed. Xu Damao kept asking questions but didn't tell him how to deal with his problem.

Seeing that he was uneasy, Xu Damao began to express his own thoughts.

"If it's a matter of official business, you will definitely be shot. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

"Then what? If you become a murderer, what will happen to your two children? How will their classmates look at them? At least your eldest son will not be able to find a job, right? It is probably impossible for him to get a permanent job."

"Your mother has been bedridden for years, your wife has no job, and the remaining four people in the family are all registered in rural areas..."

The more Xu Damao spoke, the deeper and slower his voice became, and Tang Yuanshan's eyes became redder.

He understood that if it were normal times, returning to the village would at least provide a way to survive.

But now they can't survive in the city without a ration or jobs.

As for returning to the village, he also knew what the current situation in the countryside was like. The orphans and widows who returned from the city, and the husbands in their families were murderers. Within a month, they would definitely be eaten up and killed!

He didn't know what to do anymore.

Seeing that his spirit was about to collapse, Xu Damao spoke in a low voice.

"I can say this is just a misunderstanding, but——"

"Just tell me what you need me to do. As long as I can do it, I'll even pay for it with my life—"

As long as he was not convicted of murder, his family would at least have a chance to survive, and his son could take his place.

"First, teach me your Bajiquan martial arts secrets, or the orthodox Bajiquan training method."

"Give me at least five martial arts techniques of the same quality."

"Is it not too much to exchange these things for your life?"

Tang Yuanshan's eyes widened into bells at first. These days, if you want to take away someone's family's unique skills, it's like digging up their roots!

Those martial arts secrets or training methods are the foundation of their lineage or their master's inheritance.

Not to mention spreading the knowledge outside, even if someone has learned it secretly, you will be destroyed. Spreading the knowledge outside is absolutely prohibited.

But Xu Damao not only wanted these things, but he wanted all five of them.

Tang Yuanshan wanted to refuse instinctively, but when he thought about his family's situation, he endured it.

"I can teach you Bajiquan. I don't have the others, but I can help you find them. However... I can't guarantee it."

Just betray your master. The worst that can happen is that you have to take the blame and give up your martial arts. It's not a big deal if your master takes your life back. As long as my mother, wife and children can survive, it's not a loss.

Xu Damao nodded. Tang Yuanshan was quite honest.

"second,"

"Take me to see the person who posted the reward from Hongmen."
