Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Hope Village Office

The office was closed at noon, but the child was not afraid and just knocked on the door.

The third child opened the door and saw a little kid. He smiled and asked, "Kid, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Liu Guozheng. Someone asked me to give this to him."

The child shook the note in his hand.

"Okay, give it to me, I'll take it to him."

"That won't work. They said it must be handed over to Liu Guozheng. Besides, do you have any candy?"

"I don't have any sugar."

"Then go and call Liu Guozheng out, and I'll hand him over to him personally."

"Haha, little brat, that's interesting."

The third brother smiled and went to the backyard.

"Little boy, give me the note."

"Who is your little friend? Don't try to get close to me. Even if you try to get close to me, you have to give me two candies. The person who is delivering the letter said that this note can be exchanged for two candies."

"Okay, here I'll give you three."

The child took the three candies first, then handed the note to Liu Guozheng.

"Kid, what's your name?"

"What do you want to do?"

The child looked alert and held the candy tightly in his hand.

"I just think you're an interesting kid, so I want to get to know you."

"You are interesting, and your whole family is interesting."

The little guy ran away.

Liu Guozheng smiled and shook his head, what a clever little fellow.

After looking at the note with an address on it, Liu Guozheng realized that it was sent by Jia Dongxu.

"Xu Fang, go take a walk."

I taught him all the tricks of the game yesterday, and I had no intention of winning today anyway.

"Liu Guozheng" came to the address written on the note.

This is a small courtyard, a dilapidated courtyard. The houses inside all have leaky roofs. There are already about ten people in the house, smoking.

"Liu Guozheng, I thought you didn't dare to come."

Anyway, he has more people on his side, so Jia Dongxu is not afraid of him.

"Jia Dongxu, you talk too much nonsense."

"Liu Guozheng" looked at Jia Dongxu with disdain.

"you.."

"Xiao Jia, shut up."

The man who called Jia Dongxu was a bald man with pockmarks all over his face, the one Hou Si called Ma Liu, and the one who provided the funds today.

"My friend, I admire you."

How can I not admire him? There are more than ten people including Ma Liu, but Liu Guozheng is just one person. Just based on his courage, no one here can compare to him.

"Ma Liu, right? No more small talk, let's get started. I have something else to do when I get back."

"Okay, I like this character of my friend, let's get started."

Both parties have their own thoughts, and there is no need to say anything against one's will here. It would be better to just start directly.

"Liu Guozheng" adhered to the rhythm of winning one time and losing two times, and steadily lost all his thousand yuan.

"Liu Guozheng" said angrily with an angry expression: "I have never played so little before. No, I won't play with you guys anymore. It's too little. I'm not having fun. I can't keep up with the luck. It's the end of the game."

"Friend, how big do you want to go?"

I finally met such a great enemy, I can't let him go.

"Forget it, let's not do it next time. I don't think you guys are rich. I don't know where you borrowed this thousand from."

"Liu Guozheng" looked around with disdain. No one dared to look at him. Everyone standing within his sight lowered their heads deeply.

They were right, they were here just to make up the numbers and they really had no money.

"Hey, I'm so grumpy."

Ma Liu touched his bald head, he was so angry.

I didn't expect to be discriminated against by a country bumpkin today. I can't tolerate it, absolutely not.

"My friend, everyone can brag, but you just say 5,000 or 10,000 yuan. The question is, how can you make us believe that you have so much money?"

"Come, I will open your eyes today."

"Liu Guozheng" said this and opened his shoulder bag.

"I am a good boy."

"That's incredible. Judging from the number, there are probably about ten of them, right?"

"My friend is awesome and really brave."

"Hiss... Carrying a small yellow croaker with you? Is this stupid or crazy?"

"Fourth brother, hit me so I can see if I'm dreaming."

"Snapped."

"Hiss... Fourth Brother, you have really strong hands. This is not a dream. I never thought I would see so many small yellow croakers in my lifetime."

“…”

Ma Liu touched his bald head, his eyes wide open: "Friend, how much do you have?"

"Twenty."

"Friend, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? We are all people of the underworld. We value loyalty the most. Without loyalty, you are no match for the underworld."

"My friend, loyalty is worthless in front of a small yellow croaker."

"Ma Liu, put away your inappropriate thoughts. I am a person who follows rules the most, and I hate people who don't follow rules the most."

"Liu Guozheng" picked up a fist-sized broken brick and crushed it into pieces with just a light squeeze.

"Hahaha, my friend, I have great strength. Look at this thing of mine."

Ma Liu took out a device for equality of all beings from his arms.

"I am fast outside of seven steps, and I am fast and fierce inside of seven steps."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Liu "flew" out directly, and the Equality Device for All Beings was squeezed into an iron ball in the hands of "Liu Guozheng".

"Thank you for sparing my life."

Ma Liu knelt down on the spot. He knew in his heart that "Liu Guozheng" had shown mercy, otherwise that one punch would have taken his life.

"Old Four, return the two thousand dollars to the hero."

Hou Si was also scared. This was not a little white sheep, but a tiger coming down the mountain.

"I said, I am the most disciplined person, and I hope you will abide by the rules, too. Losing is losing, and winning is winning."

"Ma Liu, just say you want to start with 5,000, do you dare to bet?"

Use force to intimidate them and let them know how much they abide by the rules.

"dare."

"When?"

"Three days later."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

"Liu Guozheng" left, and when he left, he threw a small yellow croaker into Ma Liu's arms, and said, "Take it to see a doctor. After three days, I will see how you perform. If you perform well, I will consider taking you to make big money."

"Don't worry, my good man. I won't let you down."

Ma Liu wanted to take out his heart and let "Liu Guozheng" see it to show his determination. It would take three days to see whether he would be a dragon or a worm.

Hou Si felt a little uneasy: "Sixth Master, Liu Guozheng wouldn't lie to us, right?"

"Lie to us? Why would we lie to you?"

"I'm telling you, the hero is definitely testing us. We'll have to behave well in three days. As long as the hero is happy, we won't have to do this deceptive little business anymore."

"Have you ever seen someone start a fight with a small yellow croaker?"

"Don't worry, I believe in good men."

"Also, Jia Dongxu, this is all your credit. Today I'll give you 200 yuan. If you have the ability to make money in three days, I'll also give you a share. I'll give you as much as you make. I'm a very disciplined person."

Ma Liu counted out two hundred yuan and gave it to Jia Dongxu on the spot.

"Thank you, Sixth Master."

Jia Dongxu's eyes were filled with laughter. This money was too easy to make. It seemed that it was important to follow the right person.

"Let's go, Sixth Master is treating us today, Dong Lai Shun."

"Thank you, Sixth Master."

"Sixth Master is generous."

"Sixth Master made a fortune."
