Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Su Zihui looked at Yan Jiekuang in surprise and asked, "How did you know?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "I found it by accident when I was catching wild rabbits last time."

Su Zihui's curiosity instantly rose in her heart, and she said, "How about we go over and take a look now?! I haven't seen what the ancient tomb looks like yet?!"

Su Zihao glared at Su Zihui and said, "Girl, why are you so curious? Don't you know it's dangerous in there? Let's go back."

Soon, Yan Jiekuang and his group went down the mountain. At this time, most people on the mountain had already gone back, so no one saw what Yan Jiekuang and his group had gotten. After returning home, Yan Jiekuang and his group put down their backpacks. Yan Jiekuang filled a basket with pears, took two bottles of wine, a large front door, and a bag of brown sugar weighing about one pound from the cabinet, then took a wild rabbit and two pheasants from the basket, and went out with Su Zihui and Su Zihao.

Gao Jianjun, who was chopping wood in the yard, heard the noise and saw Su Zihao, Su Zihui and Yan Jiekuang coming to the door. He immediately put down the axe in his hand, walked to the gate, opened the door and urged: "Come in quickly!" Then Gao Jianjun shouted into the house: "Dad! Mom! Yan Zhiqing and others are here."

Gao Junsong and his wife heard the shouting and came out of the house. Tian Xiuqin saw the things in the hands of Yan Jiekuang and the other three and said hurriedly, "You are here, why are you carrying so many things?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Aunt, it's not that we are being polite, but we can't come to our uncle's house to eat empty-handed, right?! If outsiders find out, they will say we don't know etiquette. Besides, these pears were just picked on the mountain today. Except for the cigarettes and wine, which are mine, the rest belong to them and their sister."

Tian Xiuqin smiled and glared at Yan Jiekuang, saying, "We haven't even gotten married yet! And you're protecting me already?! I'm not stupid, your aunt." Then she urged, "Come in quickly! It's a good opportunity to talk to your uncle."

After putting the things into the house, Tian Xiuqin knew that her husband had something to say to Yan Jiekuang, so she pulled Su Zihui to the kitchen.

Gao Junsong asked Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihao to sit down and said, "Jiekuang, let me ask you again. Do you really know the location of the ancient tomb?!"

Yan Jiekuang nodded and answered firmly, "I really know." Then Yan Jiekuang told Gao Junsong about his encounter with Gu Yeming and Song Huaigang when he was going down the mountain. Gao Junsong frowned and said, "It seems we have to speed up."

Yan Jiekuang said, "From what I heard from Gu Yeming, he has a place to stay in the town, and there is also a radio station there. Gu Yeming will go to the town tomorrow."

Su Zihao asked, "Uncle Captain, can I use the phone number of the brigade? My old squad leader has been transferred to the police station in our town as the director. I want him to come over and keep an eye on Gu Yeming."

Gao Junsong thought about it, nodded and said, "Let's go! Follow me now."

After Gao Junsong and Su Zihao left, Gao Jianjun looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "Yan Zhiqing, I just checked the injured parts of those roe deer. I'm curious, how did you hit the target when you couldn't see it?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "Feeling!" Then he asked, "Have you ever heard of catching flies by listening to the sound?"

Gao Jianjun asked: "What do you mean?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "When a fly flies over your head, you listen to the sound of the fly's wings vibrating to determine the fly's location, and then use chopsticks to catch the fly."

Gao Jianjun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can you do it?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "You will learn it if you practice more."

Gao Jianjun was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had been misled by Yan Jiekuang. However, thinking that everyone has their own secrets, Gao Jianjun stopped asking and talked to Yan Jiekuang about Sijiu City. Yan Jiekuang told Gao Jianjun about the characteristics and food of Sijiu City and told Gao Jianjun his address in Sijiu City.

When Gao Jianjun and Yan Jiekuang were chatting enthusiastically, Gao Junsong brought Su Zihao to the brigade headquarters. After entering the office, Su Zihao picked up the phone on the table and called the town's police station. Not long after, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm Hong Yongjun, who is this?!"

Su Zihao quickly replied: "Old squad leader! It's me, Su Zihao."

Hong Yongjun laughed and said, "It's you, kid! How did you find time to call me?!"

Su Zihao said, "Old squad leader, I'm in Qingshan Brigade now. Are you free? Come over now?!"

Hong Yongjun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you in any trouble?!"

Su Zihao replied, "There is trouble. It's hard to explain over the phone. You'd better bring two trustworthy people with you. I'm at the home of Captain Gao Junsong now."

Hong Yongjun thought for a moment and said, "Wait over there. I'll be there in a little over an hour."

Su Zihao reminded him, "Don't forget to change into casual clothes. If anyone asks you when you enter the village, just say you're looking for Gao Jianjun."

Hong Yongjun asked, "Is Gao Jianjun also with you?!"

Su Zihao replied: "The captain is his father."

"Okay! I got it!" After saying that, Hong Yongjun hung up the phone, called two people who had a good relationship with him, changed into casual clothes, and rode his bicycle out of the police station.

Su Zihao hung up the phone and looked at Gao Junsong. Gao Junsong asked, "He also knows Jianjun?!"

Su Zihao smiled and replied, "Uncle Captain, you should go back and ask Jianjun about this. There are some things that I cannot talk about."

"You kid, you actually kept me in suspense. Okay! I won't ask you, I'll ask Jianjun later. Let's go! Let's go back and eat." After saying that, Gao Junsong took Su Zihao and left the brigade headquarters.

A little after 1 p.m., Hong Yongjun and his men appeared in the village. An old lady who was kind-hearted saw Hong Yongjun and asked, "Young man, who are you looking for?"

Hong Yongjun replied: "We are looking for Gao Jianjun. We are his comrades-in-arms. We heard that he was back, so we came to see him."

"Jianjun?! He's at home! His house is just ahead. Just keep walking and you'll see two red lanterns hanging at the door, and that's his house."

"Thank you, uncle!" Hong Yongjun thanked him and took his men straight to Gao Jianjun's house.

"Old squad leader?!" Gao Jianjun and Su Zihao were smoking in the yard. Suddenly they looked up and saw Hong Yongjun at the door. Gao Jianjun hurried to the door, opened it, invited Hong Yongjun and the others in, and said, "When Su Zihao mentioned old squad leader just now, I thought of you. I didn't expect it was you!"

"Hello, old squad leader!" Su Zihao had already run to Hong Yongjun and saluted him solemnly.

Hong Yongjun returned the greeting and said, "Why did you call me here from town?!"

Gao Jianjun said: "Squad leader, come inside and talk!"

Hong Yongjun and his men followed Gao Jianjun and Su Zihao into the house. When Hong Yongjun saw Gao Junsong, he smiled and greeted him: "Uncle Gao, so you are Jianjun's father?!"

Gao Junsong replied, "I didn't expect that you were Jianjun's comrade-in-arms." Then he called, "Sit down! Have a cigarette!" After that, Gao Junsong scattered cigarettes around, and without further ado, he went straight to the point and told the story.
