Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

The last rays of the setting sun also disappeared into the horizon, and the night was as dark as ink, gradually covering the entire compound. Jia Dongxu's footsteps were heavy, and every step was like stepping on the tip of a knife. His heart was torn by an indescribable pain and anger.

When he opened the door, a familiar and dull smell hit him, which was the unique smell of his long-term ill mother. Jia Dongxu frowned as he saw his mother lying on the kang, curled up in a ball, with traces of pain and anger on her face, and wailing from time to time.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Jia Dongxu quickly walked to the kang, squatted down, and held his mother's hands tightly with both hands, his voice filled with anxiety and worry that was difficult to conceal.

When Jia Zhang saw her son coming back, she burst into tears. She grabbed her son's hand and cried, "Dongxu, you're back! Look at me, how I was beaten by the Yan family! They are trying to kill us!"

Jia Dongxu listened to his mother's crying, and the anger in his heart was like a flame poured with oil, burning fiercely in an instant. His eyes were blurred, as if countless red lights were flashing, it was the flame of anger burning his reason.

After a while, Jia Dongxu finally came back to his senses, his eyes became cold and firm, like an enraged lion ready to pounce on its enemy. He stood up and strode to the kitchen, where there was a sharp kitchen knife, which was his usual tool for cutting vegetables, but now, it would become his weapon of revenge.

Jia Dongxu grabbed the kitchen knife, the blade flashing coldly under the light, his fingers tightly gripped the handle, as if he wanted to concentrate all his anger and strength on the knife. He turned around and was about to rush out to settle accounts with the Yan family.

"Dongxu, don't be impulsive!" Jia Zhang was so frightened by her son's actions that she struggled to get up from the kang and shouted to her son with all her strength, "You can't go! They will beat you to death!"

But Jia Dongxu could no longer listen to anything. Only the thought of revenge was burning in his heart. He took a step and was about to walk out of the house to face the unknown battle. However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps and shouts suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting his action.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the kitchen knife in Jia Dongxu's hand and his face turned blue with anger. He widened his eyes and scolded angrily: "Dongxu, what are you doing? How can you be so stupid!" As he said that, he reached out and snatched the kitchen knife from Jia Dongxu's hand and threw it aside with force.

Jia Dongxu was startled by his master's actions. He looked at Yi Zhonghai and stammered, "Master, I...I..."

Yi Zhonghai glared and interrupted him seriously, scolding him in a sharp tone: "What do you mean by 'you'? Do you know how dangerous it is to do this? If something really happens, it will be too late for you to regret it!"

When Jia Dongxu heard Yi Zhonghai's rebuke, his head, which had been held high, instantly lowered like a defeated rooster, and his voice became as small as a mosquito: "Master, I know I was wrong."

Yi Zhonghai stared at the young man in front of him who bowed his head and admitted his mistake, with a trace of helplessness and disappointment on his face. He said earnestly: "Dongxu, you are my apprentice. I have always had high hopes for you and value you very much. But your behavior today has disappointed me greatly. You must understand that we must think carefully before doing things, considering the possible consequences, and never act blindly because of a momentary impulse."

Jia Dongxu nodded vigorously, indicating that he had understood his master's teachings and promised to keep them in mind.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai gently patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder and said in a softer tone: "Okay, go back. You must think more about what you do in the future, and don't be so impulsive again."

Jia Dongxu responded softly and turned away. Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu's back as he walked away, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, and sighed in his heart: "Alas... this child is still too young and energetic after all, and needs to go through more hardships before he can grow up."
