Siheyuan: Living in the People's Community, with a Heart for the Red Star

The five girls who were chatting enthusiastically were very excited and asked Lao Yang to take photos for them. Lao Yang took a lot of photos for the girls and also took a few photos for Colin and Yunina. Colin gave Lao Yang their addresses and sent them to them after the photos were developed.

Luo Yun shyly leaned close to Lao Yang's ear and said that she wanted to go to the toilet. Lao Yang looked around, then stood up and found a spot surrounded by four trees not far from the downhill slope. He suddenly jumped down to a height of more than two meters on the tree, cut off the trunk and crown, and repeated this four times to make four tree stumps. He took out a roll of rainproof cloth from the truck from the space, trimmed it and covered the four tree stumps, took out scissors and opened a simple cloth curtain. He buried all the wet cloth hanging on the ground in the soil, picked up a few bricks and pressed them around. He also found two stone bars and placed them in position, and dug a shallow groove in the ground.

Old Yang was very satisfied with the simple toilet and took out red paint to write the words "Women's Toilet" on the curtain. The people watching Old Yang busy were stunned, they didn't expect Old Yang to be so capable.

There were also a few tourists standing on the city wall, and they were amazed at Lao Yang's incredible operation.

Old Yang nodded to the women. Luo Yun rushed in first and soon came out with a refreshed look on her face. Then the other women went into the toilet to relieve themselves.

Several ladies standing on the city wall also came down to greet Lao Yang and his friends, asking if they could use the toilet here. Lao Yang nodded in agreement, and several ladies also lined up to use the toilet.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed. Lao Yang and the girls felt that the atmosphere became awkward, so they packed up their things, said goodbye to Colin and his wife, and left to continue climbing the Great Wall.

It is said that the Badaling Great Wall is 7 kilometers long, but they only climbed less than 3 kilometers. In addition, the temperature was high in the afternoon and the sun was scorching. They only eased their irritability a little by holding umbrellas and chatting. After climbing another 2 kilometers, they felt that they could not climb any longer, so they sat on the wall and looked at the Great Wall behind them. They did not want to climb back any more.

They climbed nearly a kilometer forward before finding a path down the mountain. They went down the mountain and took a rickshaw back to the parking reception. The four girls rubbed their sore legs and complained that the Great Wall was too steep!

It was already 4:00 p.m. when everyone returned to the car. The temperature inside the car was very high. Lao Yang put some liquid nitrogen into the car, and the temperature inside the car immediately dropped. The four girls felt very comfortable hiding in the car. Lao Yang also put some oxygen in the car to calm everyone's restless mood.

Lao Yang started the car and left the reception area. Along the way, he controlled the output of liquid nitrogen and oxygen, acting as an air conditioner to keep the environment in the car cool and comfortable. The four girls, tired from playing, fell asleep in the comfortable environment. Lao Yang slowed down the speed and kept it steady. It took more than two hours to get back to the city.

It was daylight saving time and the sky was still bright. Lao Yang parked the car outside the compound gate and waited for about ten minutes before waking up the four girls.

The four girls who were woken up by Lao Yang stretched lazily and complained that Lao Yang woke them up and should have let them sleep a little longer.

Lao Yang had no choice but to explain: "We're already home, and it's uncomfortable to sleep in the car. Let's go home, eat something, and then go straight to bed!"

The girls realized that they had arrived at the gate of the compound and began to take out their dressing mirrors to fix their makeup. After the four girls had packed up, they opened the car door and walked into the compound with their small bags.

This hour is the peak time for people to go home. Neighbors who are working or playing in the yard are coming back one after another, and people pass by the gate from time to time.

When Lao Yang and his five companions passed the gate, they saw Aunt Sun holding a bowl of corn paste and swallowing a few pickles. Lao Yang took out half a roast chicken left over from lunch and handed it to Aunt Sun in an oil paper wrapper.

"Auntie Sun, you work so hard to watch over everyone here every day. The safe environment in the yard is all thanks to Auntie Sun. Here's half a roast chicken for you, don't despise it!" said Lao Yang.

Aunt Sun quickly took it and said, "How dare I despise it? It's good to have something to eat now. This is meat. Who would despise it? It's Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhao who are thinking of me. I thank you too. Did you go out to play? You must be tired. Go back and rest early!"

Old Yang also followed Aunt Sun's words: "Aren't we taking a break today? We agreed to climb the Great Wall at Badaling together. We are really exhausted. Then we will go back and rest, and then talk to Aunt Sun!"

When Auntie Sun saw Lao Yang and his men go in, she quickly called her husband to bring half a roast chicken back to the house to heat it up for her grandchildren. Auntie Sun continued to sit at the door and watch the strangers coming in and out of the compound.

The five returned to the west courtyard. Lao Yang took out the key and opened the door. They heard a crash from inside the room. It was the sound of something being knocked over and falling to the ground. The five immediately became nervous. Could it be that a thief had broken into the house?

Old Yang motioned for them to step back, and when he pushed open the door, he saw a tea leaf on the table falling to the ground, still rolling slowly. Old Yang quickly entered the room, but when he found no one, he immediately approached the bedroom, but after checking both bedrooms, he still found no one.

Old Yang came to the main room with doubts in his mind and waved to the girls to indicate that he had not found the thief. The girls also went into the house to check around.

Old Yang picked up the tea leaves and walked to the table and put them back. Suddenly, they heard the sound of something struggling, and the atmosphere suddenly froze. Everyone's first reaction was, is there a mouse? The women immediately felt their hair stand on end.

Lao Yang followed the sound and found a pigeon struggling in the corner, as if trying to stand up.

Old Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said to the girls, "The danger is over! It's not a mouse, it's the pigeon I caught this morning. It probably recovered after resting for a while."

Old Yang leaned over and grabbed the pigeon out. The pigeon began to struggle in Old Yang's hand. Yang Yang felt that the pigeon was more energetic than after the experiment in the morning, but it seemed to have lost some of its memory. He took the pigeon back to the eight-immortal table and sat down, and started the experiment again.

Zhao Jingyi and Li Yuping went to wash up, Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun were very curious, so they came over and stared at Lao Yang holding the pigeon. The pigeon was struggling violently, but soon it became weaker and weaker, and slowly collapsed.

Luo Yun thought that Old Yang had strangled the pigeon to death by grabbing it too hard, and asked curiously, "Brother Yang, why did you kill this pigeon? There's not much meat on it!"

Lao Yang did not respond to Luo Yun's question, but continued to stare at the pigeon. Suddenly, the pigeon disappeared from Lao Yang's hand. Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun, who were sitting nearby, were also startled.

Then the pigeon appeared in Lao Yang's hand again. Lao Yang threw the pigeon on the table. The pigeon was motionless and obviously dead.

This disabled pigeon was repeatedly put into the space eighty-one times before it died completely. Since it was an injured pigeon, it is not known whether this data is accurate.

Old Yang looked up and smiled at the two women, "I am experimenting with how to kill this pigeon with my consciousness. Do you think this pigeon died normally?"

The two women looked at the pigeon, then at Lao Yang, and shook their heads at the same time.

Zhou Xiaobai said anxiously: "No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like this pigeon died of old age. It looks like it was tortured to death!"

Old Yang also frowned as he looked at the pigeon with a missing piece of feather on its body, its neck tilted and its legs stretched out. It was indeed more convincing than his own words.

Lao Yang shrugged helplessly and said, "But I really didn't abuse it. This is the wound left by it before, but it was also caused by me. This pigeon has indeed dedicated its life to a great cause. In order to repay it, I will make a soup with it for everyone to taste!"

The two women looked at Lao Yang with contempt, and when they saw that he remained calm, they left the table and went to wash up.

At this time, Zhao Jingyi came over and said, "It's getting late. Let's eat early so that Xiaobai and Xiaoyun can go back earlier."

Lao Yang nodded and put the pigeon into the space, took out the food in the space and put it on the table. The food in the space was almost gone, so he decided to take some time to order another batch of food.

Soon, the four girls finished washing up and sat at the dining table. Lao Yang took out two bottles of wine and poured a glass for each of them. They drank together, talking and laughing.

The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Lao Yang took out the high-end clothes he and Zhao Jingyi had bought and distributed them to several people according to the names on them. Zhou Xiaobai, Luo Yun, and Li Yuping took the clothes and went to the room to try them on. Soon, several people came out wearing the newly bought clothes for Lao Yang and Zhao Jingyi to judge. Zhao Jingyi couldn't help it and joined the queue to try on clothes.

Soon, Lao Yang watched a Chinese fashion show. Each of the four girls had their own merits, and overall their scores were not low. They were among a group of people with relatively high looks, and with a few high-end clothes as a backdrop, they looked even more beautiful and graceful!

Old Yang took this opportunity to give each of them a set of the phoenix crown and pendant that he had prepared, so that like Haitang and Meigui, each of them got a set of exclusive jewelry. The girls were amazed at how ingenious it was, and each set of jewelry was engraved with their names, indicating that it was specially made for them. The four girls put away their jewelry and clothes and came to Old Yang to kiss him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lao Yang sent Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun to the entrance of the alley, just in time to see the military vehicle parked at the entrance of the alley waiting. Lao Yang took out two packs of Daqianmen and stuffed them into the driver's pocket, who happily accepted them.

After seeing Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun off, Old Yang strolled back to the courtyard and found a few sparrows nesting under the tiles of the west wing. He took out a strong flashlight and shone it over there, but the sparrows dared not move. Old Yang jumped up and grabbed a sparrow, stuffed it into the cloth bag he took out from the space, and then jumped three times in a row and caught four sparrows.

Lao Yang came into the house carrying a bag. Li Yuping, who was watching TV in the living room, saw Lao Yang coming in carrying a bag.

"Honey, where did you get this bag and what's in it?" Li Yuping asked in confusion.

Zhao Jingyi, who was packing clothes in the inner room, heard the sound and came out, taking a look at the bag in Lao Yang's hand.

Lao Yang closed the door, sat down at the table and said, "These are a few sparrows I caught under the eaves at the door. I plan to use them to test my new abilities."

Zhao Jingyi immediately lost interest and returned to the bedroom to clean up. Li Yuping had never seen how Lao Yang operated, so she sat next to Lao Yang and watched how he operated.

Lao Yang reached into the bag and took out a sparrow. The space quickly covered the entire sparrow and began to collect it continuously. The sparrow struggled violently at first, then gradually became weaker and weaker. Soon it disappeared in a flash, and reappeared in a flash, but the sparrow was already dead and fell on the table!

Li Yuping asked Lao Yang in confusion: "Honey, what's going on? Did it work?"

Old Yang picked up the sparrow's claws and shook them, saying, "I kept weakening the consciousness of this sparrow, and it died after 9981 times!"

Lao Yang didn't know if all creatures would die after being collected 81 times. The pigeon in the afternoon also died after being collected 81 times. He took out a sparrow from the bag for another experiment, and this time the sparrow died in just a moment.

This time the speed was too fast, and before Li Yuping could react, she saw that the sparrow was already dead. She asked in surprise: "Is there something wrong with my husband? How come he died in an instant?"

Old Yang shook his head and said, "The previous experiment was eighty-one times, so I just collected eighty-one times. Although eighty-one times sounds like a lot, it is just a moment in the mind."

After hearing Lao Yang's explanation, Li Yuping felt dizzy and couldn't understand it at all. So she stopped paying attention to Lao Yang and moved to the TV to continue watching TV.

Old Yang reached out and took out a new sparrow from the bag, collected it thirty-six times, and threw it back into the bag. He then reached out and took out the last sparrow from the bag, collected it seventy-two times, and threw the half-dead sparrow into the bag as well. He tied the sack and threw it into a corner, ready to see if the sparrow would recover tomorrow.

Lao Yang put the two dead sparrows into the space and began to study them. He controlled his consciousness to decompose the sparrows bit by bit, and through continuous experiments, he discovered something very interesting.

Lao Yang has absolute control over the space, but this power has its limits. He can only divide the space into micrometers, and he cannot do it any smaller.

Lao Yang had always thought that he controlled the objects in the space. In fact, after careful study, he found that he was not controlling the objects in the space, but the space itself. It was just that consciousness could only subdivide the space into micron units. When Lao Yang moved one micron of space, this micron of space was separated from its original position and formed an individual. When Lao Yang determined the position he wanted to move to, this micron of space appeared at the expected position. If there was matter in this micron of space, the matter would also move to the corresponding position.

Lao Yang tried to decompose a sparrow into one-micron particles and spread them out in space, so that the naked eye could not see the sparrow at all. But every tissue of the sparrow existed. When all the decomposed particles were controlled and reassembled, the whole sparrow appeared again! After taking it out of the space, it was exactly the same as before it was put in, without falling apart!

This is a very magical thing. According to Lao Yang’s understanding, it should collapse into powder after being taken out.
