Siheyuan: A young man starts a game and ignores the law

Ran Qiuye felt his mother's endless love and care, and his heart was filled with gratitude and comfort. This home, this alley, was the harbor he had always longed for and the most important part of his life.

With Ran Qiuye's return, there is another familiar figure in the alley. The young man who once left to pursue his dreams has now returned to the embrace of his home. However, despite returning to a familiar environment, Ran Qiuye can't help feeling a sense of emptiness and loneliness in his heart.

In the narrow alleys of the hutong, Ran Qiuye strolled alone, his mood was a bit complicated. He recalled his experiences and encounters outside, thinking about how to go in the future. Although he returned home, he knew that he had become a person again.

"Ran Qiuye, why are you here alone?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded, breaking his thoughts.

Ran Qiuye looked up and saw Su Ming, her good friend from the alley, walking towards her with a smile on his face.

"Su Ming, you're here." Ran Qiuye smiled happily, "I just came out for a walk and thought about the past."

Su Ming walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "Don't think too much. Now that you're back, we can spend a good time together again."

Ran Qiuye felt the warmth and care of his friends in his heart. He knew that no matter what happened in the future, his friends would always be his strongest support.

The two walked into the depths of the alley together, strolling along the narrow lanes. They talked and laughed, sharing each other's stories and feelings, as if they had returned to the past, and the days when they played together were back again.

"Ran Qiuye, what are your plans after you come back?" Su Ming asked, looking at his expression curiously.

Ran Qiuye pondered for a moment, then smiled and replied: "I plan to stay here, accompany my family and friends, and continue to work hard to pursue my dreams."

"That's great!" Su Ming patted his shoulder happily, "We have been waiting for your return. Now that you are back, we can build our future together again."

Ran Qiuye felt the encouragement and support from his friends, and his heart was full of confidence and expectations for the future. In this alley, he had the most sincere friendship and the love of his family. He believed that with these, he would be able to create a brilliant future of his own.

As night fell, the lights in the alley gradually lit up, illuminating the entire street. Ran Qiuye and Su Ming walked together in the alley, enjoying the tranquility and warmth of the night.

"Ran Qiuye, no matter what happens in the future, we will always be together." Su Ming said, "This alley is our eternal home."

"Yes, we will always be a family." Ran Qiuye replied with a smile, "No matter what the storm is, we will support each other and face it together."

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan, the elderly couple, are another unique presence in the hutong. With their rich life experience and wise vision, they often become the strategists and leaders of the hutong. However, their behavior can sometimes make people puzzled.

One night, when Ran Qiuye and Ma Hua were about to go home, they were stopped by Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan.

"Ran Qiuye, Ma Hua, we have something to discuss with you." Yi Zhonghai said seriously.

Ran Qiuye and Ma Hua looked at each other and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. The expressions of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan made them feel a little unusual, as if something important was about to happen.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Ran Qiuye asked, trying to remain calm.

Yi Zhonghai looked around and said softly, "Some strange things have happened in the alley recently, and Liu Lan and I both feel the need to protect our home."

"Yes, we think the best way is to gather some important members of the hutong to discuss countermeasures together," Liu Lan added.

Ran Qiuye and Ma Hua couldn't help but feel a little suspicious after hearing this. They didn't understand why Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan wanted to discuss this matter with them, and they seemed so cautious.

"So what should we do?" Ma Hua asked, trying to figure out what was going on.

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful. "I think we should gather everyone together first and then discuss countermeasures. But before that, we'd better take some measures to ensure that no one will be hurt."

"Yes, we have to lock you two in the house first, and then call the others over." Liu Lan said with a determined expression on her face.

Ran Qiuye and Ma Hua couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing this. They didn't expect Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan to take such drastic measures, which caught them off guard.

However, under the resolute attitude of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan, Ran Qiuye and Ma Hua could only temporarily obey. They knew that the most important thing now was to protect the safety of the alley, and if some unusual measures had to be taken, they were willing to cooperate.

So Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan took Ran Qiuye and Ma Hua to a small house and locked the door tightly. Ran Qiuye and Ma Hua looked around in the house, feeling uneasy and confused.

"What's going on? Why are we locked here?" Ran Qiuye couldn't help but complain to Ma Hua.

Ma Hua also looked confused, "I don't know either. Maybe Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan have some important reasons."

During the time when they were locked in the house by Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan, Ran Qiuye and Ma Hua were full of doubts and anxiety. They tried to judge what was happening outside by listening to the sound, but the sound insulation in the house was very good and they could hardly hear any movement from the outside world.

"Ran Qiuye, why do you think they locked us here?" Ma Hua asked anxiously.

Ran Qiuye pondered for a moment, then said: "I don't know, but I think they must have their reasons. Maybe it's to protect us, or for the safety of the alley."

Ma Hua nodded to show his understanding, but he was still uneasy. Their previous trust and reliance on Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan seemed to be shaken, and they began to wonder if there was some conspiracy behind all this.

Just when they were anxious, there was a sudden knock on the door. Ran Qiuye and Ma Hua were delighted when they heard the sound, thinking that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan had returned and they could unlock the door.

"Yi Zhonghai! Liu Lan! We are inside!" Ran Qiuye shouted anxiously.

However, the knocking did not stop, but became more rapid and intense. Ran Qiuye and Ma Hua began to feel uneasy, realizing that there might be someone else knocking on the door, not Yi Zhonghai and Liu Lan.
