A courtyard house, equipped with a fishing system, living in an era.

Although Xu Ping'an was blessed by the system, his attributes were still considered exceptionally gifted.

Unfortunately, with a basin in his hand, he couldn't squeeze into the crowd.

Fortunately, the noise from this location could be heard in all three courtyards: the front, middle, and back.

Before long, the courtyard was filled with people.

"Pillar, stop right now!"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong from the backyard arrived late, finally managing to squeeze into the crowd of onlookers and pull Sha Zhu away from Xu Damao.

When Yi Zhonghai and his group squeezed into the crowd, the crowd made way for them slightly.

Xu Pingan also squeezed in from behind, getting a close-up look at the melon.

"Zhu Zi, look what you've done to Da Mao..."

When Sha Zhu was pulled away, he pretended to struggle a couple of times, but didn't continue.

"I hit him! That bastard deserved it!"

"Silly Zhu, I was just joking with you, you little brat, are you serious?"

"Are you kidding? The other day when He Daqing ran away, you were chasing after my Yushui saying that her dad didn't want her anymore..."

"We came back from out of town, and you were still saying, 'If we don't beat you up, who will?' You just deserve a beating!"

Perhaps feeling guilty, Xu Damao sheepishly got up.

He walked with his legs tucked together, his right hand covering his groin, and his left hand constantly pointing vaguely at He Yuzhu.

"You bastard, you just wait!"

After a brief, unproductive exchange of words between the two, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Xu Pingan found it unbelievable...

How come those who benefit don't feel like they've gained an advantage? And those who suffer losses don't feel like they've been taken advantage of?

Such a big thing would have landed someone in jail for half a month in their past life. How could it have just fallen apart like this in this life?

The siblings, Sha Zhu and his sister, had just returned from outside. Once they finished their business, they hurriedly went home.

Xu Pingan moved closer to Xu Damao, who was sitting in the covered walkway next to him, trying to relieve his pain.

"Hey, Da Mao, wanna have one?"

Xu Pingan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to Xu Damao.

"Oh, it even has a filter?"

Light a match, light it for the other person first, then light it for yourself.

Xu Damao looked young, but his smoking posture was extremely practiced.

Unexpectedly, I choked on my first puff!

"Hey bro, are you the one who just moved into the east courtyard?"

"Yes, Xu Ping'an!"

He reached out and shook hands with the other person.

"My name is Xu Damao, and my family lives in the backyard, in the two houses closest to the east side!"

People living in the same courtyard can introduce themselves to each other and that's considered getting to know each other.

"Hey, Brother Da Mao, that guy called Sha Zhu beat you up so badly, why didn't you report it to the authorities?"

Upon hearing the words "report to the authorities," Xu Damao trembled.

But what he said was quite forceful!

"We men can't win a fight, so what's the point of complaining? It's humiliating!"

After saying this, he took a deep drag of his cigarette, coughed twice, and looked around.

"Besides, do you even know how Old Jia from the Intermediate People's Court died?"

"How did he die?"

"My dad told me that he was beaten to death in the street by the police... Do you think I dare to report it to the authorities?"

Xu Pingan was taken aback, not expecting such a reason.

But thinking about it, the country has only been established for two years, and there are still many wars going on in other places!

It seems that the construction of the new China is a long and arduous task!

Then, Xu Pingan laughed again!

If you all have this kind of thinking, then I'm going to start trembling again...

cough cough...

Cough cough cough...

"You don't smoke?"

"Isn't this what they're learning?"

Xu Pingan: ...

"Then how come your smoking posture is so practiced?"

"Hey, I learned this from playing with those older kids. They were smoking, and I picked up a twig and copied them!"

Amitabha Buddha, what a sin!

"Da Mao, what are you doing?"

The two were chatting when someone called out to Xu Damao from behind.

Xu Pingan turned around normally, but Xu Damao calmly threw the last cigarette butt into the corner.

He took two deep breaths before casually turning his head to look.

"Mom, it's okay, I'm just chatting with the new guy, Ping An."

Xu's mother and father had just returned, but they had obviously already heard about the conflict from the neighbors.

"How many times have I told you, don't mess with Sha Zhu these next few days! Why are you so fixated on him? If you don't even have that much sense, you deserve to get beaten up!"

Mr. Xu was also furious; his son had been beaten, and he was angry too.

They're all neighbors, and when Sha Zhu's family encounters something like this, you not only don't help, but you also go up and say something sarcastic and provocative.

If word gets out, even we ourselves won't be in the right!

If you're really capable of bullying people to death, then no one will dare to cause trouble or step in to uphold justice!

After all, most Chinese people believe it's better to avoid trouble.

But you're both sharp-tongued and can't beat anyone in a fight...

Xu Fugui sometimes doesn't know what to say about his son!

He built a great reputation, only to have his son turn out like this...

Xu's mother gave him a push.

"Alright, stop talking about it outside. Our son's all grown up now..."

"Hmph, I wish he were older!"

The crowd dispersed, and it seemed the excitement was over!

Xu Pingan quickly went to the Intermediate People's Court to get some water, washed up, and went straight to sleep!

They said they would set off at midnight, but by the time Xu Ping'an arrived at the Yongdingmen barbican, it was already 4 a.m.

This period of time belongs to the darkness before dawn, which is considered the darkest moment of the day.

However, people who need to get up early to run errands or do chores are already on their way.

Xu Pingan's appearance at this time was neither abrupt nor inconvenient, and the darkness made it easier for him to act.

There were a few colleagues doing business here at the huge city wall!

Xu Pingan's situation was special, so he put on a mask to cover his face, picked out a dozen large ones, and put them directly into his backpack.

Once the matter was settled, he didn't want to stay any longer.

We set up our bicycles and, instead of taking the main roads, we wandered through several secluded alleys.

Unfortunately, Xu Ping'an was too confident.

Although the current urban area of ​​Beijing is not that big, and the roads are not that winding.

But Xu Pingan hadn't explored Beijing much...

His main areas of activity were either the Imperial City District or the East District...

After wandering around for a while, he seemed to get a little lost.

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Where the hell did this come from?"

Looking around, Xu Pingan seemed to have fallen into a courtyard surrounded by bungalows.

Now he can only choose one direction and keep going...

"This is the budget for the next year... I'm telling you, can't you produce some results? You can't just ask for money, can you? And if you want money, fine, but you only want dollars and gold bars. Are you trying to run away?"

Xu Ping'an's physical condition has reached fourteen points, and his hearing and eyesight are excellent, which is beyond doubt.

The moment he heard the sound, he entered the primary planting space along with his bicycle.

A few seconds later, he came out dressed in all black and put the black mask back on.

After emerging from the space, Xu Pingan quietly stood close to the wall, carefully listening to discern the direction from which the sound was coming.

"How could I dare? It's just that my men don't believe in RMB... Didn't we say we'd fight back?"

The person who had spoken earlier choked, clearly not expecting the other party to say that!

call back?

To be honest, before the war broke out on the Korean Peninsula, the bald guy's side did think about this issue!

But seeing that the Americans are almost at their breaking point, wouldn't talking about fighting back at this time be just self-deception...?

"Just be careful, and save your money!"

"No problem, no problem. Ah, you have no idea how tough it is for us frontline workers! These days, forget about doing anything; even if we're eating meat every day, someone's going to complain!"

"If you're talking about people whose identities are legitimate, then reporting them is fine! How can people like us withstand an investigation?"

"Then why the hell do you need so much funding? Can't you eat less? Eating meat every meal... how come you don't die from overeating?"

After a while, it calmed down.

"Sir, our brothers are risking their lives to make a living, and we can't even get a bite to eat. How am I supposed to keep them in line?"

"Alright! Don't contact me again when I don't contact you! Who the hell is in charge here?"

"You are...you are!"

"Alright, I have things to do at school, so you guys better keep quiet for a while! Don't contact me unless it's absolutely necessary..."

If there's anything wrong, then don't contact me...
