Siheyuan: I am so good that I became a god of war

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Forget it, that's just his personal skill. After all, we also have weaknesses that he has discovered, otherwise he wouldn't dare to act so arbitrarily."

Looking at the gate of the Ding family mansion, those plaques seemed like a mountain pressing down on his heart. The invisible pressure came, prompting Yi Zhonghai to return home quickly.

Yan Bugui was the only one left in the front yard. He shrank his neck and went into his room. The table had been roughly cleaned up, leaving only some coarse grain cakes and stewed cabbage that Yan Bugui had not finished.

After returning home, Yi Zhonghai ran into Sha Zhu who was preparing to cook. He suppressed his anger and said to Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu, I just bought some ingredients. I will cook the meat and potatoes tonight, and I will invite my grandmother to come and enjoy it."

"I understand. Don't worry, Uncle Zhonghai." Sha Zhu agreed with a smile.

Then Yi Zhonghai walked into the backyard of the deaf old lady's residence. He lifted the thermal curtain at the door and entered the room. At this time, the deaf old lady was sitting on the earthen kang and concentrating on listening to the program played by the radio - this radio was purchased by Yi Zhonghai.

"Grandma, I'm back." Yi Zhonghai reported to her.

"Well, how was the situation handled?" the deaf old lady asked in a low voice.

"We went to many places and finally found him in a ** place." Yi Zhonghai also lowered his voice and answered: "Everything has been arranged. We can take action after the Spring Festival holiday."

"Wait until the holiday is over? Then will he also rest during the holiday period?" The deaf old lady spoke with an unhappy tone.

"We have to wait until they are working normally. Otherwise, this kid hardly ever leaves the house. Even if he does, there is no guarantee that he will be able to seize the opportunity to do it." Yi Zhonghai explained while slowing down his speech: "If we want to do this in the mansion, the consequences will be..."

"That's true. Let him live a few more days." The deaf old lady said angrily.

"Grandma, Shazhu is making pork stew at my house. I'm here to invite you to come over and enjoy it." Yi Zhonghai raised his voice.

"That's great, that's really great. I love eating meat the most, and the fatter the meat, the more I like it." The old woman replied happily.

In the afternoon, Yi Zhongwai went out to look for Niu Er. After wandering around, he finally met him in a hidden little restaurant. He used to be their long-term partner.

"How did you get here?" Yi Zhonghai asked in surprise.

“The pigeon market I was originally working in was crowded out and I was forced to leave,” Niu Er said helplessly. “Then I tried to set up my own market, but I couldn’t make it to the harvest. It was forced to close before the Chinese New Year.”

"So I had no choice but to come to this ** place to stay. Speaking of which, this is the first time we have met in nearly 10 years. How did you think of coming to see me?"

Seeing the crowds everywhere, Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly and said, "We can't have a reunion of good brothers like you in this kind of setting."

"Okay, come with me this way," Niu Er led Yi Zhonghai into a private room.

"Niu Er, I came to you to give you a favor." Yi Zhonghai whispered, "Help me deal with this separately. How much do you want in return?"

"Reward? Please tell me who you are first." Niu Er said vigilantly.

"He is a retired veteran who can't do heavy work because of his injuries." Yi Zhonghai explained: "He is a deputy director of the police station, and he has just taken office."

"What? Lao Yi, are you mistaken?" Niu Er said in surprise: "If I do this, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble."

"Just tell me how much you want as compensation." Yi Zhonghai gestured.

"Once this is over, I can't stay here any longer. I have to go hide over there." Niu Er frowned and said, "The fee can't be low. You need to pay me five gold bars and five hundred dollars! Don't bargain with me. I'll leave after this and we'll never meet again."

Hearing Niu Er's request, Yi Zhonghai felt relieved. Just give him five gold bars and five hundred yuan.

Five hundred yuan is a large sum for ordinary people, but it is insignificant to Yi Zhonghai. After all, his monthly income is as high as hundreds of yuan, not to mention the large amount of treasure buried in his home.

"Okay, we are old friends, I will pay you now." Yi Zhonghai said: "I don't have 500 yuan on hand, but I can give you two more gold bars, which are worth more than 600 yuan."

"The extra part is the travel expenses given to you by your old friend."

Then he took out seven gold bars from his bag. This saved him three.

"Okay, let's wait for him to go home and get off work, and then take action after we understand his pattern." Niu Er took the seven gold bars and replied with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai left with satisfaction. However, what he didn't know was that Niu Er waited until Yi Zhonghai left, packed his belongings at home, and then set off for Tianjin with a false letter of recommendation.

"Damn it, you want me to deal with a police officer, or even a retired deputy director?" In his heart, Niu Er scolded: "Even if I do things secretly, I may die."

"Even if I could get rid of him, would I dare to flee to Tianjin? I might not even be able to enter the capital. You have a problem with your brain, but I am smart."

So Niu Er took the seven gold bars and ran away. He took a boat to **, for which he spent two gold bars to buy a ticket.

On the other hand, Xu Damao got drunk at Ding Weidong's house and was eventually carried home by Ding Weidong.

After putting Xu Damao to bed, Ding Weidong left. Of course, he did not go to Lou Xiaoe to have fun.

The next morning, nothing happened. However, Ding Weidong got up early and went to the study to practice boxing alone. He practiced Bajiquan for about an hour.

Before going to bed the day before, I would use my mental power to swing a whole brick until my energy was exhausted. This is also a training method.

About those bow and arrow shafts, which are about a hundred in length: they are all made in advance, and the arrow feathers are fixed to their ends using boiled fish bladder glue.

Now the only thing missing was the arrowheads. Ding Weidong planned to go to the forging workshop on his way to work to make some accessories. After all, he was quite confident in his forging skills, and making arrowheads or swords was no problem.

Li Qingyu got up at eight o'clock and cooked noodles before waking up Xiaoyuer, who was hiding in the quilt and staying in bed.

"Sister, I want to lie down for a while longer." Xiao Yuer squinted his eyes and said, "I don't want to leave the warm blanket."

"Get up quickly." Li Qingyu pulled Xiaoyu out to put on clothes: "The noodles are ready, go wash up and have breakfast."

"If you don't get up, I won't take you fishing. You just stay home." Li Qingyu said as he quickly put clothes on Xiao Yuer.

"Okay... I'll get up." Xiao Yuer said while rubbing his eyes. *

At this time, Ding Weidong was ready to go: he adjusted his fishing gear, such as fishing rod, fishing line and fish hook, etc. He chose a 1.5-meter fishing rod and brought a small shovel. In addition, he also prepared a coal stove and a large ceramic thermos cup to hold the bait.

Yan Bogui was watching the scene from his door, and he was confused. It was understandable that Ding Weidong wanted to go fishing, but why did he prepare a coal stove? Was he going to take it fishing and keep warm at the same time?

But this doesn't make sense. A coal stove in the wild won't do much; the slight heat will soon be blown away by the cold wind.

Regardless of him, Yan Bogui began to pack up his fishing gear and prepared to go fishing. Last time, after Ding Weidong left, he successfully caught a big fish in the original ice cave.

For Yan Bogui, a fish weighing two to three kilograms is considered a big fish. As Yan Bogui and his wife are already old, they will naturally not go back to their hometown to visit relatives. Moreover, his parents-in-law and three brothers of the same generation are also living in the countryside in a financially tight situation.

Today, Li Qingyu used high-quality flour to make noodles, and served them with fried chives cooked with lard as a condiment, and a side of homemade chili oil. The braised fish that was not finished last night has been put in the refrigerator for refrigeration, so it is just right to use it as today's mixed noodles.

At least, He Yushui, who arrived, enjoyed two large bowls of fish. Then he took fishing gear, shovel and other items with Ding Weidong and Li Qingyu to Shichahai.

Ding Weidong brought a coal stove, a stainless steel stew pot, a set of fire tongs, five coal blocks, etc., all of which he put into a small bag. He also brought a small radio.

Li Qingyu was holding Xiao Yu'er in her arms and carrying a cotton bag, which contained a few slices of cake and a pair of enamel cups.

Yan Bogui also followed their team and soon arrived at Shichahai. At this time, a thick layer of snow covered the ice. Ding Weidong chose a place and began his plan.

First, they flattened the snow nearby, and then used shovelfuls of snow to build a wall to enclose a space. In a short while, they built a square fence about five meters long and one meter wide. The fence was nearly 160 centimeters high.

There was a passage on the side facing the sun for Li Qingyu and He Yushui to pass through. After both of them came in, he began to seal the entrance.

Just as the seal was above the height of a person, Yan Bogui ran over in a hurry.

"Director Ding, the hut you built must be warm. Can I squeeze in too..." Yan Bugui said expectantly, "We are neighbors after all, and we should support each other outside."

Ding Weidong ignored Yan Bugui. If he said one more word, it would be disrespectful to him. He used the snow bricks to block the gap.

"Brother, how do we leave here?" Xiao Yuer asked with his eyes wide open.

"Just move this way." Ding Weidong said with a smile: "How can you not find a way out?"

"Brother Dong is right. It's much warmer now. At least we have avoided the northwest wind. There is also a coal stove here." Li Qingyu said happily.

He Yushui set up the coal stove and slightly opened the damper to allow ventilation, and the three of them sat together to keep warm.

The radio was placed on the ice, powered by dry batteries, and was playing music.

Ding Weidong used a shovel as easily as digging soft soil to dig a gap one meter long and wide on the ice surface, leaning against one of the ice walls.

Ding Weidong prepared the bait and held part of it in his hand, and put the rest in an enamel teacup, which was placed on a covered pot lid.

The water in the pot had been heated, so there was no need to worry about the bait freezing. By the time everything was ready, it was almost eleven o'clock.
