Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

"Hao...Hao...Brother Hao, Li Jianshe and Chen Youyi didn't catch up."

After recovering from the shock, Jia Dongxu realized that they were the only two people who came back.

"broken."

Hao Ren poured a glass of water and drank a few sips.

"Brother Hao, what should we do now?"

Jia Dongxu was completely at a loss.

"Wait."

Hao Ren was relatively calm, after all, he had been in the "jianghu" world for many years.

"Wait? Wait for what?"

Jia Dongxu didn't understand, he had never experienced such a thing.

"Wait until daybreak."

"and then?"

"Then we two brothers will go to a secret place and find out the news about Li Jianshe and Chen Youyi. If they fall into the hands of the police, we two brothers will run away."

"Ah? Running away? Brother Hao, how could this happen?"

The word "run away" has never appeared in Jia Dongxu's mind. Thinking that he now has a son and a daughter and a beautiful and virtuous wife, he can't bear to run away.

"I want to know, too. Why is this happening? Damn, I've used that medicine more than once. Why did it fail this time?"

Hao Ren was very puzzled. Ever since he got the formula for the knockout drug, he had never failed. He didn't expect to fail today. If Jia Dongxu hadn't reminded him, and if he hadn't acted decisively, he would probably be lying in the hospital now.

"Brother Hao, do you have any other place to live?"

"No, Xiaojia, what about you?"

"I do know him, but if we want to stay there, we need money, and he only cares about money."

"Money? Xiaojia, how much money do you have now?"

"Me? I have no money left. I gave all the money I earned these days to my wife."

"That would be difficult."

"Brother Hao, you don't have any money now?"

"Xiao Jia, don't you know me yet? When have you seen me share money these few times?"

"That's true, Brother Hao. What should we do if we both have no money?"

"Xiao Jia, didn't you say that there was a master who treated you well? Can't you borrow some from him?"

"this..."

Jia Dongxu was in a dilemma. If he wanted to borrow money from Yi Zhonghai, he would most likely not be able to do so.

"what happened?"

Hao Ren was a little confused. Since your master was so good to you, it shouldn't be difficult to borrow some money. Why did Jia Dongxu look so unhappy now?

Jia Dongxu told Hao Ren about what happened last time, and Hao Ren now understood that if he was cheated out of two thousand yuan, he would never lend him money again.

"Xiao Jia, you should go back and give it a try. Otherwise, we will have nowhere to stay. After we get the news tomorrow, we have to be ready to run away. We can't do it without money. It doesn't matter to me. I may not live until May. But it's different for you, Xiao Jia. You can't spend the rest of your life in prison, right?"

After hearing what Hao Ren said, Jia Dongxu's face turned even paler. You know, he had been in prison once, and if he was caught again this time, he would definitely be severely punished. Maybe it was really like Hao Ren said, he would have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Think about the conditions in the labor camp. People don't have enough to eat or eat well, and they have to work every day. It's hard work, the kind of work that even animals wouldn't have the heart to use.

"Brother Hao, do you still have that medicine? Give me a pack."

Thinking of the miserable life in the future, Jia Dongxu made up his mind.

"Xiao Jia, do you want to?"

"First the courtesy, then the force. For the sake of our brothers, I will risk it all."

"Hahaha, Xiao Jia, I was right about you. Don't worry, after I die, this courtyard will be left to you. After a few years, when the storm stops, you can come back with peace of mind."

"Brother Hao, are you serious?"

Jia Dongxu had been eyeing this small courtyard for a long time. Although it was not big, it was more than enough for his family to live in.

"Of course. Besides, I'm alone now. If I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to? Rather than letting the street confiscate it, I'd rather leave it to you. As long as you can burn some paper for me during festivals in the future, I'll be satisfied."

"Brother Hao, don't worry. Since you didn't become a wealthy man during your lifetime, I will definitely burn more for you after you die. I will try to make you a wealthy man in the underworld. After I die, I will still follow you."

"Xiao Jia, good brother."

"Brother Hao, I'll go back now and will definitely be back before dawn."

"Xiao Jia, you should wait until five in the morning before going back. Didn't you say that your courtyard has a habit of having people come to visit at night? You won't be able to get in if you go back now, and it will easily arouse other people's suspicion."

"Okay then, I'll listen to Brother Hao. Let's take a break first. Brother Hao, remember to call me later."

"no problem."

Jia Dongxu slept until five o'clock and was woken up by Hao Ren. Jia Dongxu took a packet of medicine and walked out to Yard 95 without saying a word.

When Jia Dongxu returned to the main courtyard, the gate had already been opened. After looking around and not seeing anyone there, Jia Dongxu quietly returned to the middle courtyard and went straight to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house.

While knocking on the door, he called softly, "Master, Master."

Yi Zhonghai had woken up a long time ago. He heard the miserable cries of Li Jianshe and Chen Youyi at night. He did not sleep well in the second half of the night. He knew that Jia Dongxu did not return home at night.

"Dongxu, what are you doing?"

Although I was worried, Jia Dongxu returned to the compound early in the morning instead of going back to his own home. Could something have happened? Was the scream last night related to Dongxu?

"Master, let's go in and talk."

"Okay, come in."

Yi Zhonghai now felt more and more that something had happened, otherwise there would not be such a panicked look on Jia Dongxu's face. When he pulled Jia Dongxu into the house, Yi Zhonghai stuck his head out, looked around, and found that there was no one, so he felt relieved.

"Dongxu, what happened?"

As soon as he entered the room and didn't even wait to sit down, Yi Zhonghai couldn't wait to ask.

"Master, we were robbed last night. Two of my friends were stabbed several times and are now in the hospital for treatment."

"Ah, Dongxu, are you okay?"

"Master, I'm fine. I'm here to ask you for help."

"Begging me? What do you mean?"

"Master, my two friends are seriously injured. The doctor said that they need at least one thousand dollars. I came here just to collect money to save my two friends."

"Dongxu, Master knows that you have a good heart. You have done your best by sending them to the hospital. Why do you still need to collect money?"

"Master, my friend is my lifelong friend. He is in trouble now. Can't I help him?"

"Dongxu, of course you can help your friends. We just need to do what we can. You can't say you don't have money and borrow money to help others. That's a bit..."

Yi Zhonghai didn't say the rest of the words, but Jia Dongxu could understand that it must be saying that he had no money and had to borrow money to help others, saying that he was stupid.

"Master, they have helped me many times. Now they are in trouble, I must help them."

"Things, if that's the case, I don't have a thousand dollars."

"Master, five hundred? Just lend me five hundred, and I'll write you an IOU."

"this.."

"Master, I beg you."

As he said this, Jia Dongxu knelt down in front of Yi Zhonghai.

"Dongxu, what are you doing?"

"Master, I beg you. This money is related to the life and death of our two friends. I can't watch them die in the hospital. The doctor said that if we can't get 1,000 yuan by dawn, we will give up the rescue."

"Dongxu, I only have 200, no more."

When Yi Zhongtian heard that the rescue would be stopped if Tianliang couldn't collect 1,000 yuan, he had an idea and decided to lend Dongxu 200 yuan. Considering the situation, Dongxu would definitely not be able to collect enough money before dawn, and the 200 yuan would still be his by then.

"Master, thank you, thank you."

As he was about to kneel down again, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly pulled him back.

"Wait, I'll get you the money."

Having said that, Yi Zhonghai went into the inner room.
