Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Xu Damao's trip was packed with tasks, and he had to visit several villages in the area, so he was out for half a month before returning. Xu Damao was exhausted and frozen.

When Xu Damao returned to the courtyard in the wind and snow, Yan Bugui, who was still guarding the gate, was shocked and almost did not recognize Xu Damao. He saw that Xu Damao's nose and face were swollen due to the cold, and he was darker and thinner. The color of his shoes could not be distinguished. His coat was tattered and his pants were torn, revealing the cotton wool inside. His coat was soaked by the melted snow and a layer of ice crust formed on his skin. His eyebrows and beard were covered with ice chips. He was almost unrecognizable.

As soon as Xu Damao saw Yan Bugui, he burst into tears and hugged Yan Bugui and wailed, saying that he almost died outside on this trip to the countryside. It was snowing in the mountains and he almost froze to death on the mountain. He also almost slipped and fell off the cliff and died in the mountains.

When he went out of the mountains, he met some hungry wild dogs, which chased him and bit him. He picked up a wooden stick and fought desperately with the wild dogs before he drove them away. He almost got fed to the dogs. Even when he was showing a movie in the countryside, the shabby house he lived in collapsed because of the snow, and he was almost buried alive. If the villagers hadn't heard the noise and worked together to dig him out, he would have been buried in the village.

In short, Xu Damao's trip to the countryside to show movies was full of dangers. He almost lost his life several times, which scared Xu Damao. As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he felt the atmosphere of home and found a sense of security again. When he saw Yan Bugui, he felt like seeing a relative. He couldn't hold it back on the spot, hugged Yan Bugui and burst into tears.

After Yan Bugui comforted Xu Damao for a long time, Xu Damao stopped crying and limped to the Central Courtyard with his bicycle. Xu Damao did not go home, but went to Lin's house first and knocked on the door. Lin Geng was staying at home during the winter and did not go to the steel mill. He was also shocked when he opened the door and saw Xu Damao.

"Da Mao! What's wrong with you? Why are you like this?"

As soon as Xu Damao saw Lin Geng, he knelt down before him and started crying again: "Lin Zi, I'm sorry. I was blinded by greed and fooled by Qin Huairu, so I went against you!

I know I was wrong, I won’t do it again, please forgive me!” He was about to kowtow to Lin Geng.

Lin Geng was also confused by Xu Damao, and didn't know what was wrong with Xu Damao. He quickly grabbed Xu Damao and asked, "No, no, no, tell me first, what's wrong? What do you mean I spared you? What did I do to you?"

With tears and snot, Xu Damao told Lin Geng about his experiences in the countryside over the past half month. After listening to him, Lin Geng almost couldn't help laughing out loud. He thought to himself that Li Huaide was really nice. He said he would deal with Xu Damao and he did. In such a cold weather, he actually drove Xu Damao to such a faraway countryside to show movies. Isn't this obviously trying to make trouble for Xu Damao?

Xu Damao was really lucky. If he had worse luck, he would probably not come back from this trip to the countryside. He was really scared. As soon as he came back, he didn't even go home, but came to me to beg for mercy.

Looking at Xu Damao's embarrassed look, Lin Geng sighed and thought about the past year or so. He and Xu Damao had been getting along really well. If it weren't for Lou Xiao'e, this guy wouldn't have had any bad ideas towards him. As the saying goes, jealousy can change a person beyond recognition. Thinking about how he almost married Lou Xiao'e, no one would feel comfortable seeing Lou Xiao'e with him.

In addition, Qin Huairu took the opportunity to instigate Xu Damao to stop Lou Xiao'e, saying bad things about him and trying to break up him and Lou Xiao'e. This is understandable!

Looking at Xu Damao's miserable appearance now, Lin Geng felt that the boy had paid enough price. He almost lost his life several times. He thought the punishment was enough. So he sighed, pulled Xu Damao up, asked him to go into the house and sit down, closed the door, turned around and poured Xu Damao a cup of hot water, letting him warm his hands first and drink some hot water to warm his body.

Xu Damao held the enamel teacup in his hand, his hands were shaking like a sieve, his lips were blue, and his hands had many chilblains, which were as black as a beggar. He warmed his hands while drinking water, his nose and tears kept flowing, so he sighed again.

"Da Mao, actually, there is nothing wrong between us! I can understand that you are jealous of me and Lou Xiao'e! But you are not qualified to be my friend, you have to admit that!

Lou Xiao'e has nothing to do with you. Whether you are with me or not, it has nothing to do with you! You can't just be jealous of me!

The reason you went to the countryside this time was not because I was doing something bad on purpose to retaliate against you. It might be that some leader in the factory heard about what happened between us and wanted to punish you!

Seeing how much you've suffered this time, let's just let go of the past! Tomorrow I'll go to the factory and speak up for you so they won't harass you!

If you still want to be friends with me in the future, it’s not impossible, but put away your little thoughts, say what you want to say, and don’t try to do bad things all the time, otherwise, we can’t be friends in this life!" Lin Geng sat opposite Xu Damao and said to Xu Damao.

After hearing what Lin Geng said, Xu Damao apologized to Lin Geng again with tears in his eyes. He was really scared this time. Otherwise, Xu Damao was a face-conscious person and would not do such a humble thing to beg for mercy from Lin Geng.

Now that Lin Geng was willing to forgive him this time, Xu Damao also relaxed and swore repeatedly that he would never do such a stupid thing again in his life. It was all his fault for being too narrow-minded that he did such a stupid thing. In the future, he would get along well with Lin Geng and promise to follow Lin Geng's lead.

Seeing Xu Damao swear so solemnly, Lin Geng no longer cared about what happened before. Although the two of them might never be able to restore their previous relationship, he still cared about the fact that Xu Damao was able to collect Sha Zhu's body in the end in the original drama. He also knew that although Xu Damao was a villain, he was not that bad in nature. They could not be close friends, but it was okay to be ordinary friends.

What's more, after the storm started, a man like Xu Damao who liked to scheme and stir up trouble might be able to make a name for himself. Based on the principle of "it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain", he did not want to make things too awkward with Xu Damao. Although he was not afraid of Xu Damao, he did not want to be on guard every day. Wouldn't it be too tiring to live like that?

"Okay! Now that things have come to this, let's forget about the past. We'll deal with it as we should in the future. You should go home quickly, take a shower, warm up, and have some sleep!"

Xu Damao felt relieved when he saw that Lin Geng really agreed to forgive him. He drank the hot water, made some more promises to Lin Geng, and then pushed his bicycle back home. When he got home, Qin Jingru was also shocked. She hurriedly boiled water for Xu Damao to wash his face and soak his feet. She also quickly took out the bacon stored at home and cooked a meal for Xu Damao so that he could have a good meal.
