Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

Moreover, Jiang Fan is not short of money. The gold, silver, treasures, antiques, collectibles, classics, calligraphy and paintings that he wants can only be provided by this group of people.

He wasn't afraid of being ripped off. During transactions, he could have Black Scorpion come ahead to control the situation, and if anything went wrong, he'd just leave. Even if he encountered the police, he was confident he could escape. Even if he couldn't escape, he could still hide in the space.

And now with the monitoring equipment, he is even more confident in doing this.

This time, I can only say that the advantage is definitely on my side!

After returning home, Jiang Fan began to check the monitoring equipment on Ye Shu.

I watched it once, and there wasn't anything unusual going on. There were just a lot of people there, and they were talking a lot. But they were all just giving advice on this business deal, so there wasn't much to see.

I looked at other people's profiles, and there was nothing good to see either. They complained about everything all day long. Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, kept talking about his pregnancy. I'm afraid he hasn't gotten over it yet.

Jiang Fan took a few glances and didn't look at it any further.

"It's '61! This year marks a year of change for the Siheyuan. I just wonder if Jia Dongxu will die from the machine like in the plot. But I don't think so. Yi Zhonghai lives with his family now, and the Jia family is much richer."

Jiang Fan closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it.

……

Soon it was time for the steel mill to open. On the way to work, Xu Damao gave Jiang Fan a look. Jiang Fan understood that he was asking if he should proceed with the plan for Da Lei.

Jiang Fan nodded and gestured to continue.

During lunch, Xu Damao found Jiang Fan.

"You got the news so soon?" Jiang Fan asked in surprise.

"How is that possible? Da Lei stayed in the workshop all morning and didn't come out." Xu Damao swallowed his food. "Besides, investigation is a meticulous job. It's impossible to get any results in just one morning. I can't say that Da Lei and his coworkers are having an affair."

Jiang Fan nodded. "I'll leave this matter to you. If you find out anything, tell me first. Don't tell my second uncle and the others."

"Don't worry, my brother has never made a mistake in doing things." Xu Damao said with some pride.

Jiang Fan chuckled. Who said Xu Damao was useless? This Xu Damao was really good.

In the next few days, Xu Damao followed Da Lei and actually found out some information.

He discovered that Jiang Dalei would go to see someone during his break after dinner every day, a woman from the riveting workshop. The woman was in her twenties, and Xu Damao couldn't tell exactly how old she was, but he was sure that she was older than Dalei.

Xu Damao did not act rashly. Instead, he witnessed this situation happen several times before he went to inquire about the woman.

It wasn't until the day before the Lantern Festival that he came to see Jiang Fan.

"This woman's name is Qi Ting. She works in the riveting workshop. She's 24 years old and has never been married. I heard from others that she's been engaged twice. But both of her fiancés met with accidents. One was beaten to death while going to the black market, and the other was imprisoned for gambling. So she has a bad reputation. People say she's a jinx."

"It seems her parents stopped associating with her because of this incident and now live alone."

Xu Damao told all the information he had found out. He didn't understand why Jiang Dalei would go after Qi Ting, a famous girl, instead of a beautiful young lady.

Jiang Fan frowned, feeling helpless. "Are you sure there's something ambiguous between them?"

Xu Damao nodded solemnly. "You know what kind of person Da Lei is. He wouldn't have this kind of relationship with a woman for no reason."

Jiang Fan frowned. He didn't believe in any other gods or ghosts except the God of Wealth.

I just don't know what my uncle and aunt think of them. I guess Jiang Dalei didn't say it out of concern for this.

Although we are now paying attention to science, the endings of Qi Ting’s first two fiancés were indeed not good.

"Of course I know what kind of person Da Lei is, but I don't know how to tell my family about this. My second uncle and his family are not well educated, so I'm afraid they take these ghost and god matters more seriously."

Jiang Fan spoke.

"Brother, you are confused." Xu Damao said.

Jiang Fan was a little confused, "How do you mean?"

Xu Damao laughed and said, "It's impossible for people to get into trouble for no reason. Qi Ting's first two fiancés were arrested for gambling, and they deserved it. As for the one who went to the black market, we don't know the details, but we can only say that he was unlucky. Could it be that he got into trouble because of his engagement to Qi Ting? That's too far-fetched."

"Also, my second uncle and second aunt might have some opinions about Qi Ting because of these things, but don't we still have you?"

"Me? Yes, there's also me. Even if Second Uncle and Second Aunt believe in ghosts and gods, they can't believe in me! My brain!"

Jiang Fan slapped his forehead. He was really confused. The trust his uncle and aunt had in him was much deeper than that of any gods or ghosts.

"Da Mao, thank goodness you're here. If it weren't for you, I would have gotten stuck in a dead end." Jiang Fan patted Xu Damao's shoulder hard.

"Hiss, be gentler. Don't you know how strong your hands are?" Xu Damao was wincing in pain.

Jiang Fan laughed heartily and couldn't help but sigh, "You still shouldn't underestimate others. If it weren't for Xu Damao, he would have been in the dark for several days."

"But what we need to do now is confirm whether Da Lei and Qi Ting really have that intention. We don't want it to be a complete misunderstanding, that would be hilarious."

Xu Damao rubbed his shoulders and said, "Leave it to me. I'll get the information out of you within two days."

Chapter 230: Stick and Dog

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.

Nowadays, there are no fruit fillings, chocolate fillings, egg yolk fillings, etc. in glutinous rice balls. They are basically filled with black sesame.

Jiang Fan and his family wrapped the dumplings in advance and just had to cook them in the evening.

"It's another peaceful holiday."

In the sunshine, Jiang Fan sighed, and the five or six-year-old children in the yard were all outside picking up firecrackers.

People naturally set off firecrackers on the Lantern Festival, but this year not many families set off firecrackers, and there are not that many firecrackers.

Looking at them, Jiang Fan suddenly remembered that he still had quite a few firecrackers. He casually pulled out two strings and shouted at the children.

"Fireworks!"

There was a crackling sound, and in the smoke, Jiang Fan threw in a disassembled piece of musket.

Turning to leave, Jiang Fan heard the children's happy voices, "I found two that were not lit."

"I have one too."

"There's more."

"Fire the cannons! Fire the cannons!"

Listening to the children's happy voices, Jiang Fan smiled crookedly. How could children set off firecrackers properly?

Which kid doesn't use firecrackers to blow up dogs, water splashes, cow dung and other things to increase the damage? Otherwise, simply setting off firecrackers would be meaningless.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Fan entered the yard, he heard the howling of wild dogs near the alley.

This dog is lucky, having never been caught and eaten. But now it is as thin as a skeleton, and it is estimated that it will not live long.

"Hey, Uncle Yan, go out and be careful. I don't know which kid got some firecrackers and set them at the entrance of the alley to blow up a dog. Now the dog bites everyone it sees. Sooner or later, we'll catch it and eat its meat."

Sha Zhu walked into the yard and said viciously that he was almost bitten by a dog just now.

"Okay, Zhuzi, remember to give me two ribs when you catch it next time." Yan Bugui said with a smile.

Sha Zhu also agreed, saying that if he didn't like the dog one day, he would catch it and eat its meat.

Both of them knew it was a joke, but the guy next to them took it seriously.

"That dog can be caught and eaten."

When he thought about eating meat, Banggeng couldn't help but drool.

The clever little stick dog started his tricks again. He ran out to find the stray dog.

He is so skinny and weak, and looks like he has no meat at all.

This made the little terrier curl his lips. He wanted to eat some fat meat, the kind that was greasy when he took a bite. The dog in front of him was really too thin.

But it’s good to have meat to eat.

Banggeng looked at the wild dog lying on the ground and thought it would be a very easy task to catch it.

Banggeng swallowed his saliva and slowly approached the wild dog.

Ouch!

When the wild dog opened its eyes, it saw Bang Geng pounce on it like a tiger. It was so scared that it immediately jumped up and ran to the side. It was almost caught by Bang Geng.

"Don't run!"

Bang Geng missed his target and quickly stood up, not caring about the dust on his clothes, and rushed towards the wild dog.

The wild dogs were howling, and the stick dogs were chasing after them.

The other children also found it interesting. Although they didn't know why Bangteng was chasing the dog, they still followed Bangteng and shouted.

The wild dog saw that there were so many people behind him and it was no use. It couldn't win alone, so it shook the dog!

It immediately ran towards where the other wild dogs were.

The other wild dogs looked at each other and asked, "Are you a traitor? Why did you bring people here?"

Soon, the stray dogs had gathered into a group of six or seven. The children behind them were all panting after their exercise, and many of them had fallen. Banggeng, however, was still standing there, stubbornly saying, "Catch the dogs, eat the meat!"

The wild dogs that had gathered in a group wanted to run away, but when they saw that the people chasing them were exhausted.

One by one, they began to bar their teeth and bark, and their saliva even flowed onto the ground.

This frightened the children who had been so aggressive just now.

"Is this dog crazy? Why does it feel like it's coming for us?"

"You can't get bitten. If you get bitten, you'll have to get an injection. I don't want to be pricked by such a thick needle."

"Getting pricked by a needle is a piece of cake. There are so many dogs, any one of them could bite us to death!"

Everyone slowly retreated, morale plummeting. Bang Geng was even more distraught, trembling as he took two steps back.

Seeing the wild dogs approaching, the children immediately retreated. Someone shouted, "Run!"

A group of children turned around and ran, followed by a pack of wild dogs.

At this moment, offense and defense have changed!

However, the wild dog didn't chase far before it was stopped by the adults. The children were chasing the dog just now, so they just watched the fun.

Now the wild dogs were chasing the children, but they couldn't really be allowed to catch up. The adults used sticks to drive the wild dogs away, but only the dog that Bang Geng had provoked at the beginning broke through the encirclement and chased Bang Geng.

It seemed like the dog had set its sights on Bang Geng. It ignored the other kids parked on the side of the road and only had eyes for Bang Geng's butt!

The distance between the man and the dog was getting closer and closer, and the wild dog opened its big mouth and approached Banggeng again and again.

The stick dog also stimulated the desire to survive, and Magotan dodged the pursuit of wild dogs with its short legs.

But Banggeng was still a child after all, and he was knocked to the ground by the wild dog after dodging for a few times.

The wild dog tore at Banggeng's cotton pants, and Banggeng kept struggling and shouting for help.

Fortunately, the commotion just now attracted some people. Almost as soon as Banggeng fell to the ground, someone came with a stick. They hit him with the sticks and kicked the wild dog with their legs.

But the stray dog ​​refused to let go until it had chewed a hole in Banggeng's cotton pants. Then the dog ran away with its broken leg. Some people comforted Banggeng, while others chased the stray dog ​​with sticks. It must have been at least ten pounds of meat.

Bang Geng held the bitten cotton pants and cried loudly. He stood up and walked towards home.

The cold wind blew and Banggeng felt his butt was cold.

Banggeng, wearing open-crotch pants, went home crying.

"Bang Geng, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? And why are you holding a cloth in your hand?"

Yi Zhonghai was in the middle courtyard. When he saw Banggeng, he hurried to his side.

He looked around and immediately found the empty space.

"What's wrong with your pants? Why are they so rotten?"

Others also came out to laugh at the joke, "Bang Geng, you're already so old, and you're still wearing open-crotch pants? Aren't you afraid you'll freeze off?"

Qin Huairu also came over to look at her son who was giving her so much trouble. "What have you done wrong? Your pants are already in this state. Where can I find more cloth and cotton for you?"

When Bang Geng saw his mother coming, he immediately burst into tears and said, "There was a dog. It bit me. I wanted to catch it and eat its meat, but I couldn't. It ran away, and I chased it. Then I ran and it chased me, but I couldn't outrun it. It bit me on the butt."

"Bang Geng, Bang Geng, why did you provoke that wild dog? Huairu, quickly check to see if Bang Geng was bitten. If he was injured, he would have to go to the hospital for an injection."
