Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 708 Return to life
In the evening, most of the dishes Wang Zhan cooked were meat dishes, mainly because Xiaosi and Xiaowu were big eaters. Everyone sat around the dining table, talking and laughing while eating dinner. Wang Zhan also explained the general situation of the incident. Xiaosi and Xiaowu felt deeply regretful that they did not have the opportunity to participate this time.

After dinner, He Yushui, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu left. Before leaving, Xiao Wu asked excitedly, "Brother Zhan, when are we going to fight again?"

Wang Zhan glared at him, and Xiao Wu said aggrievedly: "It wasn't me who asked, it was Big Boss. If you don't believe me, ask him tomorrow at school and you'll know."

After that, the two ran away. Wang Li smiled secretly and whispered in her brother's ear: "Be sure to take me with you next time."

Wang Zhan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Come on, go wash up, and then go practice calligraphy. How many days have you not practiced?"

Wang Li instantly showed an unhappy expression on her face, but Wang Zhan ignored her and pulled her to the backyard.

The next day, Wang Zhan took Wang Li to school. During the break, he went to Teacher Yang's office to report for leave and said that he would go to school again that day. Teacher Yang was only told by the principal that Wang Zhan had asked for leave for something, but she didn't know what it was and she didn't ask.

After lunch, Wang Zhan, Xiao Si, Xiao Wu, Fei Qing and Da Lao Tie played the game of tag on the playground, while He Yushui took Wang Li to play with a group of female classmates.

The big buddy came close to Wang Zhan and whispered, "Your method is really useful. If you need this kind of thing next time, take me with you."

Wang Zhan looked at Da Lao Tie in surprise and asked, "Who did you use it on?"

"There is a manager in our courtyard who is always troublesome and only knows how to take advantage of our family. My two brothers and I gave him a good beating and now he behaves himself." The eldest brother said with a little pride.

Wang Zhan advised: "Use it less, it will be troublesome if you get caught."

The eldest brother scratched his head and said, "Both of my brothers have learned it. I guess they have used it a lot recently. They whistle home all day long. They are so happy. I guess they must have used this trick and succeeded."

Wang Zhan slapped his forehead and thought, this is bad news. It will be troublesome if the streets are full of people beating people with clubs. But there is nothing he can do. He can't stop the other person's brother now.

In the afternoon, Wang Zhan had no mind to study and kept sighing. Wang Li asked her brother in a low voice what was wrong. Wang Zhan told his sister about his old friend. His sister was so amused that she giggled. Wang Zhan went over and covered her mouth and said, "Keep your voice down." Wang Li nodded, and Wang Zhan let go.

Wang Li said, "That's none of your business. Why are you worried? Besides, you didn't invent the method of hitting someone with a club. What are you afraid of?"

Wang Zhan thought about it and felt that what his sister said made sense, so he started to concentrate on reading again.

After school, Wang Zhan and He Yushui took Wang Li home. Wang Zhan asked, "Is the school not targeting you anymore?"

"No, they are all busy buying food everywhere now, so they don't have time to care about me." He Yushui said.

"So how is your brother?" Wang Zhan asked.

He Yushui sighed and said, "Besides giving me my living expenses, he doesn't really care about me. He doesn't eat at home either, and there's no food at home."

"These are all temporary and will get better. Don't worry. Let's go home and make you something delicious," said Wang Zhan.

When he reached the intersection, Wang Zhan saw a person standing at the door of his house. Wang Zhan looked carefully and he didn't recognize the person. Wang Zhan stopped and looked at the person. He Yushui and Wang Li also saw him, but they didn't recognize the person either. The three of them did not go home, but stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at the person.

This was a young man in his twenties, dressed in ordinary clothes, apparently like a worker. He stood there for a while, looking around. He also saw Wang Zhan and the other two standing at the entrance of the alley. He thought they were children from the neighborhood, so he took a quick look at them and paid no more attention to them.

Wang Zhan thought about it and decided that this was not a solution, so he walked over alone and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The young man was startled and asked, "Do you live here?" Wang Zhan nodded, and the young man said, "Sister Wang from the Military Control Commission asked me to come here. She asked me to deliver a letter to you, saying that it was forwarded by your master."

Then he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan took the letter and was a little skeptical because he had never seen his master write a letter, but he still said thank you. The young man was about to turn around and leave, and Wang Zhan asked, "What's your name?"

"No need to bother with my surname Xing and my single character Fan. My task is completed and I'm leaving first." After the young man said this, he walked quickly to the other side of the alley.

Wang Zhan waved to He Yushui and his sister, and then said, "You guys go home first and lock the door. Don't open it no matter who calls you. I'm going to the Military Control Committee."

He Yushui nodded, took Wang Zhan's schoolbag and lunch box, opened the door with Wang Li and entered the yard. Wang Zhan walked towards the Military Control Commission from the other side.

Not long after, he arrived at Sister Wang's office. When Sister Wang saw that it was Wang Zhan, she stood up and said with a smile: "What brings you here? Come and sit down."

After Wang Zhan sat down, he asked directly: "Aunt Wang, do you know someone named Xing Fan?"

Sister Wang was stunned when she heard this and said, "I don't know him, what's wrong?"

Wang Zhan thought for a moment, then asked, "Did you ask someone to forward a letter to me today?"

Sister Wang shook her head and said, "No."

Wang Zhan knew that the matter was a bit serious, so he recounted what happened after school and gave a detailed description of the appearance and clothing of the man who called himself Xing Fan.

Sister Wang also realized that there was something fishy going on and asked, "Where's the letter?"

"It's here with me." Wang Zhan put the letter on the table and said, "Aunt Wang, please don't open it. What if it's poisonous? You should report it to the Public Security Committee."

Sister Wang didn't dare to touch the letter, so she said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go get someone."

After a while, Captain Li came over with a few people. Wearing gloves, he carefully put the letter into a sealed bag, handed it to the person behind him and said, "Send it to the Inspection Department of the Third Bureau."

The man took the sealed bag and left. Captain Li sat down opposite Wang Zhan and asked, "Wang Zhan, can you describe the messenger's appearance again?"

Wang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Give me a piece of white paper and a pencil, and I'll draw it."

Captain Li was stunned and said, "You can also draw, so hurry up."

After a while, Wang Zhan drew Xing Fan, who looked exactly like the real person. Captain Li took a look and said to himself, "Why does he look so familiar?"

The people nearby gathered around and looked carefully for a while. One of them suddenly realized and said, "Isn't this Wen San from Qianmen? It's just that he usually wears a gown and walks around with a bird cage. He suddenly changed into work clothes, so I really didn't recognize him at first."

Captain Li took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Wen San, so he said, "Go find him and bring him back to me."

Then he turned to Wang Zhan and said, "Go home first. I'll let you know if there's any news. Isn't your sister still at home? Don't let anything happen to her."

Wang Zhan nodded, walked out of the house and walked quickly towards home.
