Siheyuan: I have a mental illness

As the sun sets, the blood-colored sunset gradually fades, as if the palette in the hands of the magical painter of nature is gently wiped clean. It is the coldest time of the twelfth lunar month, and the steel mills in the city have already finished their busy work for the day, but the night has covered the land too early, plunging it into silence and darkness.

Jia Zhang walked slowly into the house with heavy steps, dragging her exhausted body as if all the strength had been drained away. She walked straight to the slightly worn wooden table, picked up the cup of tea on the table that had been cold for a long time without hesitation, and swallowed it in big gulps like a traveler who had encountered a rain after a long drought in the desert.

After drinking a glass of water, Jia Zhang finally came to her senses. She wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth and thought to herself: How could Huzi be so careless today and not prepare warm tea for her? Just as she was complaining in her heart, the door that was originally open made a loud "bang" without any warning and then closed tightly.

The sudden sound of the door closing was like a thunderbolt that broke through the silent night sky, which really frightened Jia Zhang. She trembled all over, her heart instantly rose to her throat, and she turned her head in horror, her eyes just fell on Jia Huzi who was standing by the door. Jia Huzi looked solemn and serious, and hurried to Jia Zhang's side, and whispered in a low voice, mysteriously: "Mom, I just accidentally discovered a shocking secret!"

Jia Zhang looked at Jia Huzi, who was serious, and patted her heart, which was frightened when Jia Huzi closed the door just now. She said unhappily, "Huzi, what's wrong with you today? Not only did you not prepare hot water for me, but you also scared me. Why are you so secretive?"

Jia Huzi looked at Jia Zhang who was complaining about him, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he still said carefully: "Mom, I discovered the big secret of the deaf old lady."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang looked at Jia Huzi, sat down slowly, and asked nonchalantly: "What secrets could a crazy old woman have?"

In fact, Jia Zhang didn't believe Jia Huzi's words at all, because in Jia Zhang's opinion, what secrets could a deaf old lady have? A urine bucket under the bed?

So, seeing Jia Huzi's serious expression, he muttered in his heart, you are still a country boy after all, you look like you have never seen the world.

Although Jia Zhang adopted Jia Huzi, she still had a bit of pride in her heart. So to be honest, she still looked down on Jia Huzi.

Jia Huzi didn't think too much about it. When he saw Jia Zhangshi asking him, he quickly said, "Mom, I sneaked into the deaf old lady's room today. Guess what I found?"

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Huzi say that he had slipped into the deaf old lady's room, her indifferent expression disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a solemn look.

Jia Zhang stared at Jia Huzi fiercely, with a hint of anger flashing in her eyes and a voice full of reproach: "Huzi! How could you be so reckless to sneak into that crazy old woman's room? If someone sees us, we will be in big trouble!"

At this moment, Jia Zhang was secretly upset and full of resentment towards Jia Huzi. She felt that this child was too ignorant and did not know how to weigh the pros and cons. Although Yi Zhonghai is no longer as majestic as before, if he catches our little braid, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to escape unscathed!

Thinking back to the time, that disgusting shit-smearing incident really angered Yi Zhonghai. If Jia Huzi's sneaking into the deaf old lady's house was exposed this time... the consequences would be disastrous! There is no doubt that Yi Zhonghai would take advantage of the situation and make a big fuss about it. By then, we, mother and son, would be the ones who would suffer in the end!

Therefore, in the eyes of Jia Zhang, Jia Huzi's behavior was too rash and reckless. Of course, it's fine if you want to deal with Yi Zhonghai, but as for that deaf and blind old lady - it's better not to provoke her if you can! After all, when she takes advantage of her age and starts to act like a spoiled brat, aren't we the ones who suffer in the end?

Listening to Jia Zhang's words full of reproach, Jia Huzi did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly bent down, put his head close to Jia Zhang's ear, lowered his voice, and spoke softly.

At first, when Jia Huzi just got close to her ear, Jia Zhang's face showed obvious displeasure. She thought to herself: Humph! What on earth can this kid say? Could it be that he really discovered something? With this thought in mind, Jia Zhang decided to listen first.

However, as Jia Huzi continued to talk, Jia Zhang's originally narrow triangular eyes gradually widened. With each additional sentence she heard, the astonishment in her eyes increased. When Jia Huzi finally finished speaking, Jia Zhang was already dumbfounded and dumbfounded, and a huge uproar was set off in her heart, as if she had encountered a tsunami that shook the world.

At this moment, Jia Zhang was filled with shock and it was hard to believe what she had just heard from Jia Huzi. You know, if what Jia Huzi said was true, then for the deaf old lady, I'm afraid there would be only one way out! Thinking of this, Jia Zhang couldn't help but feel panic. She stared at Jia Huzi with suspicion and asked again: "Huzi, this kind of thing is not a joke! You are not teasing your mother on purpose, are you?" Her words were full of disbelief and uneasiness.

Jia Huzi stared at Jia Zhang with wide eyes, with an anxious and determined look on his face. He knew that if he couldn't make Jia Zhang believe what he said, he would lose this opportunity. So he took a deep breath and explained: "Mom! How can you not believe your son? How dare I make up such a thing! I saw those things with my own eyes!"

Then, Jia Huzi seemed to open up his mouth and told Jia Zhang in detail every detail of his experience when he went to the deaf old lady's house. From the moment he stepped into the room, he described every subtle movement, every mysterious word, and even the strange smell in the air vividly, as if everything was vividly remembered.

However, in the process of narration, Jia Huzi intentionally or unintentionally skipped some key plots - the conversation between him and Ye Fan and Ye Fan's clever guidance of him. After all, Jia Huzi already had a plan in mind at this moment. As a child from the countryside, in order to be able to come to the prosperous and bustling Sijiu City, he did not hesitate to call Jia Zhang as his mother, and his purpose was nothing more than to seek a bright future.

But now, when he gradually realized Jia Zhang's selfish nature, especially after feeling her contempt and disdain for him from the bottom of her heart, should he continue to pursue her wholeheartedly? The answer is obviously no. In comparison, Jia Huzi felt that following Ye Fan might help him realize his ambitions and get better development opportunities. Therefore, he chose to keep his mouth shut and never mention these important information.

(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. This updated plot is a bit complicated. Because Zidong is writing a martial arts book, he has been in the martial arts world. But I will be out of it soon, so I hope everyone will give Zidong some time. Thank you.)
