Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

Although it is autumn, the sun is warm and there is not much chill.

Perhaps because he was hungry, Lin Sian felt that the streets and alleys of Beijing were filled with the aroma of various snacks.

The aroma from traditional restaurants such as noodles with soybean paste, pancakes, and local specialty restaurants stimulates Lin Sian's taste buds.

At the entrance of the alley, there is a small shop with a narrow storefront. There is a coal stove at the entrance, and on the stove there is a big pot, steaming.

At first glance, you can tell that the shop only sells noodles and steamed buns. This is the small shop jokingly called "Er Hun Pu" by people in the capital.

After Lin Sian finished two bowls of noodles with soybean paste, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

The check was 20 copper coins.

Lin Sian took out a silver dollar to pay the bill, and the waiter gave him 112 copper coins in change.

It was originally thought that one silver dollar could be exchanged for 100 copper coins. It seems that during the Republic of China period, the exchange rate between silver dollars and copper coins was not fixed. Currently, one silver dollar can be exchanged for 132 copper coins.

The value of these 1000 silver dollars was obviously higher than Lin Hao's expectations, and he felt somewhat happy.

"Boss, is there any pharmacy nearby?"

Lin Siyuan asked the store owner.

He almost let it slip and said "agent", but then he remembered that the term "agent" probably didn't exist in this era.

"Oh sir, you're welcome! Just call me Lao Wang!"

Then, the shop owner, Lao Wang, said that if you walk south from the alley for about ten minutes, you will see an iconic bell and drum tower, and then walk a few dozen steps west of the road, you will find a big tooth shop.

Speaking of the capital city, it is simply a large block of tofu, square and regular, as if it had been measured with a ruler.

Walking through the streets and alleys from north to south, and then from east to west, without turning a single corner.

People who live here, no matter whether you are a little kid or an old naughty boy, all have the same opinion when it comes to directions:

"East, West, South, North" will never play the "up, down, left, right" maze with you.

If you ask for directions here, I guarantee that people won't point at your nose and say "turn left or right". Instead, they will just say: "Here, walk east for three alleys, then turn south, and you'll be there!" It's like they are dubbing the GPS navigation, professional and funny.

After listening to what Lao Wang said, Lin Sian thanked him, bought ten meat buns, and walked out of the alley. When no one was paying attention, he put the ten buns into the space and walked straight south.

It’s a ten-minute walk, and it would take at least twenty minutes to get off the bus!

This guy Lin Hao can obviously enjoy the thrill of a fast-paced life by riding in a car, even a rickshaw would be cool!

But he insists on being low-key and down-to-earth.

"Okay, I'll just take a walk to help digest the food!" he thought to himself.

As soon as you go out, you’ll feel the hustle and bustle!

It was like a boiling pot of rice, with the bangzi playing, the erhu blowing, and the gongs and drums booming. It was simply an ancient version of a live symphony.

There are three or four theater buildings built with solid wooden boards extending along the way.

The front of the building was covered with colorful banners, on which were written in gold ink or powerful black characters:

“Teahouse Crosstalk Night.”

"Child actors perform the Peking Opera 'The Drunken Concubine'."

"Wanhua and Qiu Haitang co-star in "Sawing the Sand Pot."" and so on.

On the street corner, several rickshaw drivers were wearing dark gray short jackets, coarse cloth trousers, black cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, and their trouser legs were lightly tied, looking simple but tough.

Holding a homemade pipe, surrounded by smoke, he waits for business.

These people worked hard to keep themselves fed and clothed, and silently bore the burden of life in the markets of the Republic of China. It was not easy!

"Long live the Chinese nation!!"

"Assist Suiyuan in the war of resistance!!!"

"Stop the civil war and unite against foreign enemies!!!"

At this time, a group of students came forward, holding up slogans such as "Oppose North China's Autonomy" and "Resist Japan and Save the Nation";

Keep waving your fists and shouting slogans loudly!

The noise was so loud that the public gathered to watch;

Some were inspired by the passionate parade and joined in.

Lin Sian could only watch out of curiosity. He didn't have the desire to quickly integrate into the young group of this era.

Standing at the front of the group of students was a young man who had his hair combed neatly into a 3:7 split with hair wax, and was wearing a suit and tie, looking very energetic.

At the front of the team, a young man caught people's attention. He had a 3:7 hairstyle, a well-tailored suit, a straight tie, a handsome face, fair skin, and a full spirit.

He led everyone with firm steps, his eyes revealing his firm belief in his cause.

“If he lives in 100 years, he will be able to surpass all the young handsome guys.” Lin Sian praised secretly.

However, Lin Sian's attention did not stay on this young talent for long, and soon he set his sights on those beautiful young female students.

They have refreshing short hair with headbands, wear blue tops with black skirts, white socks and simple black leather shoes, exuding youthful vitality and freshness.

Especially the female student at the edge of the third row, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a pure face, eyebrows like spring mountains, eyes like autumn water, a waist as slender as Feiyan, and a bosom as broad as a concubine.

I searched for him everywhere for hundreds of times, and found two papayas that were soft and ripe.

Lin Sian took one look and couldn't take his eyes away. He wanted to pull her out of the crowd and take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau or the space!

Then... he found a reason for the filthiness deep in his soul -

It's all because of the system's endurance-increasing sexual function.

“Swish, swish, swish!!”

Sudden.

A burst of rapid whistles was heard.

Then Lin Sian began to see a commotion behind the parade.

Then I heard a middle-aged man of medium height beside me shaking his head and sighing:

"Ugh!"

"I'm afraid this group of students is going to be in big trouble again."

When Lin Siqi heard this, he immediately paid attention alertly.

"The black dog is coming! The black dog is coming!"

"Everyone run away!"

Someone in the parade shouted, and everyone scattered like a flock of startled birds, and the street was suddenly in chaos.

Soon, Lin Sian saw a group of patrolling soldiers wearing black clothes and holding sticks and whistles coming from behind, arresting anyone in school uniform.

Realizing that they were targeting students, Lin Sian stopped to watch, just like other pedestrians.

But things are always unexpected. The pretty and plump female student ran straight to where Lin Sian was like a headless fly.

Perhaps because he was staggering with a heavy load and was easy to catch, the patrolman with a rather shabby look chased him relentlessly.

I originally wanted to stay out of it, but when I thought about the beauty being in trouble, I couldn't bear it.

When the female student passed by Lin Sian, a faint fragrance hit her nose.

He suddenly and inadvertently stretched out his right foot slightly.

"Ouch!"

The patrolman suddenly fell down, looking very embarrassed.

After he got up, he looked around and was very angry. He cursed: "Which bastard plotted against me? Do you want to die?"

The people around had already hidden far away, and the perpetrator Lin Sian also quietly left.

The patrolman couldn't find the person causing the trouble, and the girl he was chasing had also escaped, so he had no choice but to turn to other students in anger.
