Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

At the bottom of the well, the little girl huddled in a corner, her face covered in tears and coal dust, yet her lips were still slightly parted, as if she were singing.

Upon hearing the sound, she looked up abruptly, her eyes flashing with an alarming light.

"Dad...?" she asked softly.

Su Ting's heart clenched: "No, it's brother. Your father... is my father. But I'll be your brother, okay?"

Duoduo paused for two seconds, then suddenly grinned, revealing a set of small black teeth: "Okay! Brother! I knew you would come!"

Su Ting picked her up and was about to climb up when the ventilation shaft suddenly shook violently!

"Warning: Structure is about to collapse." A cold, mechanical voice sounded from above. "Executing the final silence protocol—Sector B, self-destruct countdown, 60 seconds."

"Damn it!" Su Ting gritted his teeth and rushed upwards with Duo Duo in his arms.

But the ladder was twisted, and rocks kept falling from above.

"Brother...put me down," Duoduo suddenly said.

"no!"

“I can do it!” she pointed to her throat. “I’ve been practicing! My sister taught me. She said… as long as you have the song in your heart, you can ‘push’ it out!”

Looking into her stubborn eyes, Su Ting finally nodded.

Duoduo steadied herself, took a deep breath, and then—

He opened his mouth and sang.

The voice wasn't loud, and it was even a little off-key.

But when she sang the first note, the entire metal wall of the ventilation shaft began to resonate!

"...The moonlight shines on the river bend..."

The sound waves spread like ripples, even deflecting the falling rocks overhead!

"My mother is calling me to go home and sleep..."

Several steel bars were broken in the cracks of the well wall, and the passage suddenly opened up!

Su Ting's eyes widened: "You...you can actually control sound?!"

Duoduo, panting and her face flushed, said, "My sister said... I'm a 'reverberant,' I can remember and replicate all the songs I've ever heard... As long as I sing them, they'll 'come alive' once."

Su Ting laughed and picked her up on his back: "Good sister, now sing it again—Let's go home!"

"it is good!"

The little girl hugged his neck tightly and sang at the top of her lungs!

"Chili powder was drying on the roof—my daughter squatted down and stole a bite!!"

The sound was like a tidal wave, crashing into the wellhead!

"boom--!!!"

Stones flew, steel bars twisted, and the entire ventilation shaft exploded with a roar amidst the singing!

Su Ting carried Duo Duo and rushed out of the ground. Behind them, Block B collapsed completely, and flames soared into the sky.

Xiao Yin rushed up and hugged them tightly: "Are you guys crazy?! You almost—"

“But we’re back.” Su Ting said breathlessly, lifting Duo Duo up. “And we brought a little soldier who can sing.”

Duoduo chuckled and suddenly pointed into the distance: "Brother! Look over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing.

At the edge of the ruins, an abandoned signal tower trembled slightly.

The loudspeaker at the top of the tower slowly turned towards them.

Then--

"Zi..."

After the static, a childish yet clear voice rang out:

"Hello...is anyone there? I...I want to sing too...is that okay?"

The sound was like a thin thread, passing through the wind amidst the ruins, gently wrapping around everyone's eardrums.

Chapter 1368 On the Scorching Rubble

Su Ting stood frozen in place, but Duo Duo suddenly struggled off his back, stepping barefoot onto the scorching rubble, and looked up at the rusty signal tower.

"Someone's listening! Someone's listening!" she shouted. "You can sing! You can sing whatever you want!"

"Really?" The voice hesitated, trembling with disbelief. "I... before I was taken away by the 'Qingyin Guards'... I sang in the school choir every day. Later... they said my voice was 'too loud' and would disrupt the order... so they covered my ears..."

Su Ting slowly walked forward, looked up at the rickety loudspeaker on the top of the tower, and said in a low voice, "Who put this up? We'll take it down."

"Brother!" Duoduo tugged at his sleeve, her eyes sparkling. "Let's... let's go get her, okay? She must really want to go home too!"

Xiao Yin strode forward, her fingers flying across the tattered terminal: "The signal source is the autonomous broadcast module at the top of the tower. Someone manually activated it... It's not Qingyinwei's system, it's a civilian frequency! This child... she restarted the old radio station herself!"

“You’ve got guts.” Su Ting grinned, touching the piano key fragments at his waist. “People like this are born to sing.”

“But that tower won’t hold for long.” Xiaoyin frowned. “More than 80% of the structure is corroded, and with the tremors just now… going up there again would probably be suicide.”

“Then we won’t go up.” Su Ting turned and walked towards the edge of the collapsed B area, his gaze sweeping over a bunch of twisted metal pipes. “We’ll ‘invite’ the tower down.”

"Are you crazy?" Xiao Yin's eyes widened. "You mean—use sonic resonance to collapse it? But the child is still up there!"

“So we have to let her sing first.” Su Ting squatted down, picked up a broken copper wire from the ruins, straightened it, connected one end to Xiao Yin’s terminal, and the other end to the amplifier half-buried in the ground. “Let her sing the song she knows best. We… will accompany her.”

Duoduo immediately understood and skipped over: "I can sing with her! My sister said that two voices are less likely to break than one!"

Su Ting patted her head: "Then it's up to you, little commander."

He turned to the loudspeaker, took a deep breath, and gently plucked the piano key fragments at his waist—a soft hum rang out, and the sound waves quietly spread.

"Hey—little kid up there!" Su Ting shouted into the loudspeaker, "We can hear you! Now, I'm going to count to three. After three, you start singing, and Duo Duo will sing along with you, understand? We... will take you home."

A few seconds of silence.

A very soft yet incredibly firm response came from the loudspeaker: "...Understood."

Su Ting raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Three..."

The wind stopped.

"two……"

A deathly silence reigned above the ruins.

"one--!"

In an instant, two childish voices rang out at the same time!

"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky..."

Clear, slightly trembling, yet incredibly firm.

Su Ting abruptly drew his sonic vibration blade, the blade tracing an arc in the air, resonating with the fragments of the piano keys—

"Om-!"

A golden sonic wave slashed out like a blade, striking the base of the distant signal tower!

Xiao Yin immediately realized what was happening and frantically typed on the terminal: "Tune to the resonant frequency band! Release the residual sound energy!"

"Boom!" A string of sparks exploded from the terminal, but the screen lit up—frequency synchronization: 87.6MHz.

"It's done!" she growled.

Su Ting struck again, this time with a low, resonant sound, like thunder from the earth!

Chapter 1369 The Last Beam

"Boom--!"

The entire signal tower shook violently, and the steel bars emitted a piercing groan.

At the top of the tower, the little girl's voice did not stop.

"The evening breeze blows the willow flute and the sound of the willow flute fades, and the sun sets outside the mountains..."

She sang more and more steadily, as if her voice itself had become the last beam supporting the tower.

"Duoduo!" Su Ting turned around.

"I'm here!" The little girl stood straight, her face flushed red. "My sister said... as long as you're not scared, your voice won't stop!"

"Then—speak louder!!"

"We've walked hand in hand through spring, autumn, winter, and summer—!!"

The two children's voices suddenly rose in pitch, the sound waves crashing against the signal tower!

"Boom——!!!"

The base of the tower collapsed, and the entire iron tower emitted a long, mournful cry before slowly tilting—
