The Great Era of Siheyuan

On a dark and windy night, after everyone had fallen asleep, two figures sneaked together in the backyard.

"I'm telling you, this is your last chance. If you dare to cause me trouble again, don't come begging me. Just find a piece of land and dig a hole to bury yourself!"

A short and fat young man with shabby clothes and short hair said.

"I understand, I understand! Don't worry, I'm fully prepared this time, and there will definitely be no problems!"

A timid young man spoke cautiously.

"Then I'll trust you once more. If you dare to do bad things again, don't blame me for being rude to you. Also, if we find the money later, we'll split it 60% and 40% again, and you have to pay me back the money you owed me last time!"

The short-haired, fat young man said in a low voice.

"Okay, whatever you say, but you better hurry up! It will be bad if someone comes out and sees us!"

The young man said with some concern.

"What are you afraid of? If you see it, then you see it. We haven't seen anything yet. Wait, help me pay attention to the surroundings. Let's find the deaf old lady's gold first. I'll open the door!"

As the short-haired young man spoke, he took out a piece of wire from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole and fiddled with it for a few times. With a click, the lock opened.

"Come in and close the door!"

The short and fat young man said excitedly.

"Liu Guangtian, you are amazing! You still have some tricks up your sleeve!"

Yan Jiecheng said happily.

It turned out that the two people were Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian who had fallen out yesterday, and somehow they got together again.

"Nonsense, how can I tell you this if I don't have the ability? I learned this skill from Sha Zhu! After we search this place, we will go to his house and let him see my skills!"

Liu Guangtian looked at him proudly and boasted, then began to urge him again.

"Hurry up, you search the bed and I'll search the closet to see where his money is hidden!"

"Well, why don't you search the bed while I search the closet?"

Yan Jiecheng is not stupid. The probability of hiding something in the closet is definitely higher than on the bed. What if he finds the money and hides it on his body, wouldn’t he be at a disadvantage?

"Hey, Yan Jiecheng, you bastard, are you wary of me? Just go when I tell you to go, why are you talking so much nonsense? If I hadn't taken you, would you have a chance?"

Liu Guangtian spoke in an aggressive voice and looked at him fiercely.

"Just go, why are you so fierce?"

Yan Jiecheng ran to the bed and started to feel for money, while Liu Guangtian opened the closet and searched carefully.

After a while, Liu Guangtian found a large stack of money in the drawer. Feeling the thickness of the money in his hand, Liu Guangtian quietly took out half of it and put it in his pocket.

On the other side, Yan Jiecheng also touched five gold bars and secretly hid two of them in his trouser pockets. For fear of making any noise, he specially hid one on each side before speaking.

"I found it. Three gold bars. How's yours?"

Yan Jiecheng said nervously.

"I found it too! I don't know how much there is, but I think it's probably a few hundred!"

Hearing that Yan Jiecheng had gained something so quickly, Liu Guangtian, who was afraid of being discovered, quickly replied to him. As for how much there was, wasn't it up to him to decide?

"Should we continue looking?"

Yan Jiecheng asked in a low voice. He felt his heart beating so fast. How great it would be if all the gold in his hand belonged to him! He had never seen so much money in his life.

"Forget it, leave him some money! We are now helping the deaf old lady get her things back. This is justice for the people. If we take anything else, it will be stealing!"

Liu Guangtian's heart was pounding. It was the first time he did such a thing and he was extremely nervous.

"Then let's go quickly. Go get a piece of clothing from Shazhu's house and put it here. Let them fight each other with the rest. None of them are good anyway!"

Yan Jiecheng’s mind was now filled with the thought of finishing the matter quickly and returning to his room to hide the money.

"Yes, yes, get the job done quickly, we'll divide the money later!"

Liu Guangtian certainly had no objection. The gold bars were in Yan Jiecheng's hands and could not escape, but the banknotes were with him. Maybe he could find a chance to hide a few more. It was too dangerous to put them in his pocket!

The two of them closed the door quietly and tiptoed to the middle courtyard. They were both nervous and excited. They had just wanted to do something casual today, but they didn't expect to make a big one.

Although they thought about the possibility of being caught or discovered, after being poor all their lives, no one wanted to let go of such a large amount of money.

"Hey, you said Xu Damao's family has so much money, does Sha Zhu's family also have so much money?"

On the way, Yan Jiecheng asked curiously.

"Good question. Sha Zhu's family must have money! Let's go to Sha Zhu's house and search it again later! But this guy is always being extorted by Qin Huairu, so he probably doesn't have much money!"

Liu Guangtian curled his lips.

"Who cares? Take as much as you can! We'll stuff another gold bar into Shazhu's closet later. He must have stolen the money if he didn't steal it!"

Yan Jiecheng came up with an idea.

"Okay, Yan Jiecheng, you've shown your wisdom today! Okay, okay, I'll do as you say! Hmm, why is the door open? Could it be that Shazhu has returned?"

Liu Guangtian had just finished praising Yan Jiecheng when he felt something was wrong. How come the door of Sha Zhu's house opened as soon as he pushed it?

"He must have forgotten to lock the door! Don't overthink it. I didn't even see him come back. Let's go in quickly! Don't wake up the old man later."

Yan Jiecheng urged from the side.

After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Liu Guangtian didn't think much about it.

Maybe he was right! Sha Zhu was still living in the steel mill, how could he come back?

But if he remembered correctly, the door should have been locked when he checked the place out during the day!

The two encouraged each other, went into the house one after the other, and closed the door gently.

"This time you search the bed and I'll search the closet!"

Before Liu Guangtian could speak, Yan Jiecheng spoke first.

"If you want to search the closet, go ahead. It's up to you!"

Liu Guangtian didn't even bother to argue with him. What good things did Sha Zhu's family have, they had already been swindled away by Qin Huairu, and there weren't many.

Silly Zhu, who was lying on the bed, was thinking about Qin Huairu. He was in a light sleep and had been woken up by their conversation. After living together for so long, he could tell who it was just by the voice, without even looking.

Hearing them talking about gold, money, and how they wanted to put the blame on him, a surge of anger suddenly welled up in my heart.

It's bad enough that Li Wenqiang bullied me, but even you, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian, two little brats dared to bully me. Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you.

Sha Zhu just held his breath and did nothing, preparing to wait for the person to come over and give him a hard blow.
