Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

The world became quiet, but Xu Damao felt increasingly uneasy.

He and Sha Zhu were lying right there in the open. If someone really saw them, how could they not make a sound?

The silence around him made him feel uneasy.

A short while later, just as Xu Damao was still clinging to a sliver of hope that the other party might not have noticed them, a questioning female voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"Look at this... doesn't this look like Xu Damao from the propaganda department? I saw him showing a movie yesterday!"

"Hey! It really is him! What's he doing? Showing off his physique so early in the morning?"

"Haha, this young man is really something. He came to the factory in broad daylight to 'show off' his weight, and he even tied himself up like a pig!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, she's quite fair-skinned!"

"There's another one down there! Hey, you down there, can you lift your head? Let us girls see who you are!"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu immediately lowered his head even further, refusing to look up even though his face was painfully pressed against the stone.

"There really is another one! Why does this one look so familiar... Should we turn his face over and take a closer look?"

At this moment, Xu Damao could no longer hold back his endless chatter and suddenly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, a group of female workers were surrounding him, their eyes shining as if they were looking at something rare!

"Ladies, I don't know which bastard tricked me and Sha Zhu. Please, kind ladies, help us get untied! Or... even a piece of clothing would be appreciated!"

As soon as he said that, the eyes of the older women around him lit up even more.

"Silly Zhu? So, the one under you is Chef He Yuzhu from our cafeteria?"

"No wonder he looked so familiar! It's Master He! The thing is, we've never seen him without clothes on before!"

"You know what! Chef He's always busy in front of the stove, but I didn't expect him to be so fair-skinned!"

"Quick, let me see!"

A group of women immediately became interested, and some of the more impatient ones even started reaching out to pull them up from underneath.

It's over! It's all over!

Sha Zhu's vision went black. He instinctively wanted to reach out and cover his face, but his arms were tightly bound with hemp rope. He couldn't do anything and could only bury his face deeper into the gravel, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Xu Damao, you son of a bitch! You can talk about yourself, why are you dragging me into this?"

At this moment, Shazhu, who was pressed against the ground, had red eyes and gritted his teeth as if he wanted to kill someone.

Seeing that the women's attention had shifted to Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, who was lying on top, breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of vengeful pleasure flashing in his eyes.

If you, Sha Zhu, can use me as a shield, don't blame me, Xu Damao, for dragging you down with you!

An eye for an eye, and no one should blame anyone else!

"What's wrong with you? If you want to sleep with my grandpa, you'll have to get out of here first!"

Xu Damao was also a little annoyed.

"Hey, what's wrong, Xu Damao? Why are you letting everyone stare at your melons in public? Isn't that indecent?"

Later, an older woman also came over, making a ruckus and watching the excitement.

"I didn't! I blacked out last night. Some bastard stole my clothes and tied me and Sha Zhu together!"

"Please, have mercy and untie me! Or at least get me some clothes!"

No matter how much he talked, the women acted as if they didn't hear him, and instead pointed and whispered even more enthusiastically.

"Hey? You know what, Xu Damao usually looks like a skinny bamboo pole, but he's actually quite muscular."

"To be honest, he's nowhere near as good as that silly Zhu down there! But Xu Damao is really good-looking!"

"What's the use of a white hat? It might not even work by nightfall! A sturdy guy like Sha Zhu is much better!"

"What, you've got your eye on her? Come on, take her home!"

"Get out of here! What nonsense are you spouting? It's not like we don't have men in our family!"

The old women's talk got more and more outrageous. Not to mention Xu Damao in front of him, even Sha Zhu below couldn't stand it anymore and was blushing from their words.

"Hey you guys, either help me untie this, or go call security. Why are you arguing with us like this? Who's the one being a scoundrel here?"

These words stirred up a hornet's nest, and the women immediately erupted in uproar, staring wide-eyed at the two people who were stacked back to back.

"We're being indecent? You two grown men are naked in the factory, and you're accusing us of being indecent? Have you no shame?!"

"Heh, what kind of shameless man comes here naked! Anyone who didn't know better would think he's sunbathing on a nice day!"

"Exactly! A grown man asking several women for clothes? Doesn't he know men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

The last one also seems to have picked up the word from somewhere and just used it here!

Xu Damao lay on top of Sha Zhu, his face turning green with anger.

On one hand, it's infuriating that simpleton Sha Zhu. At a time like this, instead of saying something nice to get help, he talks nonsense and angers these women!

On the other hand, it's also infuriating to see these old women!

A group of people surrounded two naked men, pointing and whispering, and then they started talking about how men and women shouldn't touch each other!

Then you better not look this way!

This young man has a nice butt, doesn't he?

If you guys had even a shred of shame, you would have covered your faces and run away while looking at us!

Those who are still here making comments and criticisms, they really have no shame!

Just then, the young female worker who had run away first arrived with the security personnel.

A group of people surrounded Xu Damao and Shazhu again.

The head of security had never seen anything like this before; two grown men were being tied up naked in the steel mill overnight!

He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it in person.

"Silly Zhu, give it your all, let's turn to the side!"

As more and more people gathered, Xu Damao was starting to feel the strain.

Both of them were tied up here, but now, he's the one being scrutinized by a group of people, like a turtle with its lid turned upside down.

Sha Zhu is fine now; he just needs to lie down and pretend to be dead!

"Yes, yes, Sha Zhu, turn around! We've had enough of looking at Xu Damao's bean sprouts!"

"Haha, my son will probably be better than him in two more years!"

"No wonder we haven't had a child after so many years of marriage, how are we going to have one..."

"Why even bother having a child? Look at him, his wife is probably still a virgin, he can't even reach her!"

The group of women got more and more outrageous, completely out of control, spewing out all sorts of vulgar and offensive language.

Even Sha Zhu, who was lying under Xu Damao, couldn't help but chuckle.

Even the head of the security department, who had just arrived, was finding it hard to bear these words, let alone Xu Damao, the person involved.

Xu Damao, who was facing upwards, had eyes that were wide open and his face had turned a deep liver color.

He no longer even avoids making eye contact with them, staring intently at these women!

Regardless of the era, the psychological harm caused by a woman to a man in this respect is the number one.

In particular, being publicly humiliated and executed by several women in front of everyone was driving Xu Damao almost insane.

"Have you all any shame? You really enjoy staring at men's naked butts? You dare call yourselves women? And you're all so proud of it? Tonight I'm going to go door to door with all of you men and tell them how you were staring at my ass in the factory!"

Xu Damao was completely taken aback by what he was saying, and he got carried away, yelling at the group of women at the top of his lungs!

"You filthy scoundrel! He...tui!"

The old women weren't exactly innocent either. Seeing that the security guards from the steel mill had already surrounded them, they stopped talking.

But before leaving, he still spat on Xu Damao a few times!

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse! Standing around naked and spitting, what kind of behavior is this! Should I invite the factory leaders to watch your performance?"

The female workers were herded to the canteen and workshop. Xu Damao and Shazhu were finally untied, each of them hastily put on a piece of clothing, and were taken to the security department with their heads hanging low.

But this matter is far from over; these women are the steel mill's most powerful external propaganda channel.

The real promotion of this event will begin when everyone finishes work and has lunch!
