Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

A little after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle past the entrance of the department store. When he turned into an alley, He Yuzhu vaguely heard a cry for help. He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to find the sound.

"Girl, no one comes here. It's no use even if you scream your lungs out." Six street thugs surrounded a woman dressed like a student with lustful eyes.

He Yuzhu appeared behind the six people and said, "Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you guys trying to do in broad daylight?!"

One of the tall and strong men turned his head to look at He Yuzhu and said, "Ouch?! I didn't expect that there are still people who like to meddle in other people's business these days?! Boy, I'm in a good mood today and don't want to embarrass you. Leave your bike here and get out of here!"

He Yuzhu got off the bicycle, put down the kickstand, and locked the bicycle. Seeing this, the four people thought that He Yuzhu was scared by them. They thought He Yuzhu was useless. But they didn't expect that He Yuzhu didn't leave, but walked towards them.

"Ouch?! Boy, you're really not afraid of death?!" As soon as the voice fell, two strong men rushed towards He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu did not retreat but advanced, avoiding the man who rushed from the left, and at the same time moved into position, hitting the man who rushed from the right with his elbow.

The man on the right felt as if his head was hit by a truck, turned around on the spot, and then fell to the ground. The leader saw one of his companions fall down in a face-to-face encounter, and he instantly got angry and said to the two short men next to him: "You two keep an eye on this girl, and the rest of you come with me. Kill this guy!" After saying that, the leader pulled out a fruit knife and waited for an opportunity.

Since He Yuzhu mastered Bajiquan in this life, except for the time when he was fighting against other gangsters, he had never used it to fight against other gangsters. Today, these people helped He Yuzhu break his fast. In the blink of an eye, three big men fell to the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. Only the leader and two shorter men were left.

Looking at He Yuzhu who was approaching step by step, the leader waved the fruit knife in his hand and shouted: "Don't come over!"

He Yuzhu pretended not to hear and walked towards the leader with big strides. Seeing this, the leader was about to pull the girl over to threaten He Yuzhu. In a flash, He Yuzhu rushed to the leader, performed a bare-handed takeover, snatched the fruit knife from the leader's hand, and then hit the leader heavily with his shoulder.

The leader felt like he was hit by a locomotive. He flew out and fell heavily to the ground. The leader struggled to get up, but gave up after struggling for a few times. The remaining two people looked at each other, and one of them snatched the bag from the girl's hand and wanted to leave. How could He Yuzhu let them escape under his nose? ! He Yuzhu rushed forward and quickly caught up with the two people who wanted to escape. Without waiting for the two to resist, He Yuzhu punched each of them. After knocking the two people down, He Yuzhu kicked each of them again, then picked up the bag on the ground, patted the dust on it, walked to the girl, and shouted in surprise: "Lou Xiao'e?!"

Lou Xiao'e heard the shout, slowly raised her head, looked at the person in front of her clearly, and shouted excitedly: "He Yuzhu!"

He Yuzhu handed the bag to Lou Xiaoe and asked, "Are you okay?!"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head and replied, "It's okay!"

He Yuzhu said: "I'll watch these people here, go to the police station and report the case."

"Oh!" Lou Xiao'e responded and asked, "Are you okay here alone?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "No problem! Go ahead!"

"Oh!" Lou Xiao'e didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately ran out of the alley. After about ten minutes, Lou Xiao'e came with the police.

The leading police officer was slightly surprised when he saw the six people lying on the ground. He walked up to He Yuzhu and said, "Young man, my name is Ma Long, and I'm the director of the police station in charge of this area. You're quite skilled, aren't you?!"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied, "Just some farming tricks for self-defense."

"Chief, these are the group of people who escaped a few days ago." A policeman ran up to Ma Long and reported.

"What?!" Ma Long walked to the person lying on the ground in disbelief, looked at him carefully, and said, "It's really them?!" After that, Ma Long looked at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu felt Ma Long's gaze and asked uncomfortably, "Director Ma, is there any problem?!"

Ma Long walked up to He Yuzhu and said with a smile, "I really don't know if they are unlucky or you are lucky?! Let's go! Come with us to take a statement."

"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded, pushing his bicycle and following the police out of the alley. Lou Xiao'e walked to He Yuzhu's side and whispered, "Thank you!"

He Yuzhu smiled and asked, "Why did you go to this alley?!"

Lou Xiaoe replied: "I was bored at home, so I went to the bookstore to see if there were any new books. When I was going home, I didn't realize at first that someone was following me. In order to avoid being followed, I went into an alley. I don't know what happened, but I got lost in the alley and later met these people."

He Yuzhu then asked: "Why did you come out alone?! Is there no one at home?!"

Lou Xiaoe said: "Except for Uncle Afu, all the family members were dismissed. My father also disposed of the family car. My father basically never goes out except for gatherings with friends. He is either reading in the study or playing chess with Uncle Afu. He is so bored every day."

He Yuzhu asked: "Why don't you go play with your classmates or sisters?!"

Lou Xiaoe replied, "My classmates with good backgrounds don't want to play with me, fearing they will be implicated. Those with similar backgrounds to mine have either left Beijing or are in worse situations than my family. You saw the people who came to my mom's birthday party. Some of them left in the past two days. A few are still waiting and watching. But according to my dad, these people will leave sooner or later."

He Yuzhu said, "If you really feel bored, and if your family is at ease, I can take you out to play on Sunday. But I have to make one thing clear to you, taking you out is just a side job. I also have to take my sister with me."

"Okay! Then it's a deal. I'll come to see you next Sunday." When Lou Xiao'e heard that someone was willing to take her out to play, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face, and she readily agreed.

He Yuzhu said: "I'll go find you! You just wait at home."

Lou Xiao'e thought about what He Yuzhu said and felt that it made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

Arriving at the police station, Director Ma arranged four people to help He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe take statements. After working for more than half an hour, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe walked out of the police station. He Yuzhu got on his bicycle and said, "Get on! I'll take you home."

Lou Xiao'e didn't act pretentiously. She sat directly on the back seat of the bicycle, grabbed He Yuzhu's clothes with one hand, and said, "I'm sitting well!"

He Yuzhu kicked his feet, rode his bicycle and took Lou Xiaoe towards the Lou family villa.
