Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

So Lin Geng agreed to let Director Wang and Aunt Liu help him find a wife. During this period, he went on several blind dates. Although the blind dates found by Director Wang and Aunt Liu were all good girls, because Lin Geng's aesthetic taste came from later generations, the beauty standards of this era were a bit not to his taste.

As a result, after several blind dates, Director Wang and Aunt Liu were quite unhappy. They felt that Lin Geng's requirements were too high. He didn't even like several girls they thought were quite good. So they called Lin Geng to the street office and gave him a lecture.

But Lin Geng rolled his eyes in his heart and thought, if I like it, I like it. If I don’t like it, I don’t like it. What can I do if I don’t feel attracted to the girls you selected for me after seeing them?

As October approached, the weather began to get cooler. Lin Geng was still like a street wanderer, occasionally going to the factory to deliver some supplies. When he had nothing to do, he would go to the library to borrow a few books, or go to the river or lake to find a place to fish.

That day, Lin Geng had just caught a few big fish. He was riding his bicycle leisurely with his fish basket and fishing rod, preparing to go home. When he turned a corner, he suddenly heard a girl not far away shouting in shock and anger: "Catch the thief! Stop him, he stole my bag! Don't let him get away!"

Lin Geng turned his head curiously and saw a tall, thin young man with disheveled hair on a not-so-crowded street. He was holding a women's bag and running towards him with a fierce look on his face. He even shouted, "Don't block my way. I'll stab anyone who blocks my way to death!"

Only then did Lin Geng realize that this guy was holding a shiny dagger in his right hand. He was waving the knife at the pedestrians who blocked his way while running, scaring many pedestrians on the road and causing them to scream and run away.

Behind this tall and thin man, there was a girl wearing a slim Lenin suit and two long braids. She was running behind him to chase this guy, screaming in shock and anger, asking pedestrians in front to help stop this bag thief.

Lin Geng thought to himself, this bag snatcher didn't even look at where we are. He dared to snatch bags on the street before dark in this old city. Isn't he simply mentally ill?

It was the early 1960s and public security in the city was still very strict. In addition to the police sending people to patrol the streets, they also organized security personnel from industrial and mining enterprises to patrol the streets to maintain public order. Overall, there might still be a lot of petty thefts on the streets, but there were not many cases of people daring to snatch bags in the street.

It was not until the wind started that social security became complicated due to the chaos caused by the wind, but now the security situation in the city is still quite good.

And this tall and thin guy actually dared to snatch a bag on the street before dark. Isn't this a serious mental illness? If he can get away, it can be considered that he is really capable.

However, looking at the girl who was panting and shouting while chasing after the tall and thin man, Lin Geng still felt that since he had met her, it would be no harm to help her.

So he got out of the car and slowly pushed the car towards the guy who snatched the bag as if nothing had happened, instead of dodging to the sides of the road like other pedestrians.

"Get out of the way, kid, or I'll stab you to death!" The tall and thin man also saw Lin Geng blocking his way, and while yelling and cursing in a timid manner, he waved the dagger in his hand in a bluffing manner, trying to scare Lin Geng into getting out of the way and moving aside.

Lin Geng's face showed a look of fear, as if he was frightened silly. He stood there holding his bicycle. The tall and thin thief saw Lin Geng's expression and thought that he had scared the guy who blocked his way, so he ignored Lin Geng and tried to run past Lin Geng quickly.

But what this guy didn't expect was that just when he was about to run past Lin Geng, Lin Geng moved, swung the bicycle suddenly, and hit this guy hard in the face. This guy was completely unprepared. He only felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and then he flew backwards on his back as if he was hit by a bull, and fell heavily to the ground with a bang.

After Lin Geng knocked the thief down with his bicycle, he parked his bicycle, stepped forward and stepped on the thief, turned him over and pressed him to the ground, tied his arms behind his back, pulled out the belt from around his waist, and tied his arms up forcefully.

But at this moment, Lin Geng suddenly felt someone rushing towards him from behind. He was slightly startled and realized that this guy was not snatching bags on the street alone. At the same time, his accomplices were nearby covering him. When they saw him catch the tall and thin guy, his accomplices rushed over to rescue him.

Lin Geng was naturally not afraid of the guy rushing towards him from behind. He just lowered his head slightly, turned around and kicked him with a sweeping kick. The guy who had just rushed to him from behind didn't expect that the guy in front of him who had caught his accomplice would react so quickly. When he found that this guy suddenly kicked him with a sweeping kick, he had no time to react at all, and both legs were swept hard by Lin Geng's kick.

This guy just felt like he was hit by a car. A huge force came from his legs. There was a sound of snap and one of his legs broke. Then he flew sideways, felt dizzy and fell headfirst to the ground. There was another bang and this guy didn't even have time to scream. He fainted on the spot with his eyes rolled back.

At the same time, a dagger flew out of this guy's hand, rolled on the stone ground of the street with a clang, and fell a long distance away. It can be seen that this guy was also holding a knife and pounced on Lin Geng from behind, wanting to kill him. Unfortunately, Lin Geng reacted too quickly and did not give him the chance to strike, so he knocked him down.

Lin Geng turned around and immediately tied up the unconscious guy. When he tied up the two thieves tightly, the girl who lost the bag came after him, panting.

Lin Geng picked up the women's bag from the ground, raised his head and looked at the owner who was running towards him, but when he saw the face of the girl who was running towards him, he was stunned.

He was very familiar with this face, wasn't it Lou Xiao'e? Although this face was a little different from the Lou Xiao'e in the TV series, younger, more beautiful, and prettier, this was not surprising, because when Lou Xiao'e appeared in the TV series, she had been married to Xu Damao for a long time and had been tortured in the courtyard.

Today, Lou Xiao'e has not yet married Xu Damao, and is still an unmarried lady from a wealthy family. Naturally, she looks much younger, her skin is much more delicate, and her appearance is naturally more beautiful. However, Lin Geng still recognized her as Lou Xiao'e at a glance.
