Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

When the bicycle had traveled 50 meters, the speed slowed down. The user scanned the top of the big tree at the entrance of the alley with their mind and recalled the queen bee into their spatial storage.

An elderly woman sitting and chatting at the entrance of the alley near the neighborhood office pointed and whispered at the deaf old lady and her companions.

Yan Bugui was somewhat annoyed. He could tell that Sha Zhu didn't like these people, but he didn't expect Sha Zhu to be so unwilling to talk to them.

Knowing that I would have taken a detour and gone back first when I saw these people on my way back, I no longer had the desire to stay with them. Without saying goodbye, I left first and headed home.

At the entrance of the small restaurant, Manager Jin had just come out of the kitchen with two apprentices. He looked at the departing bicycle and was a little dumbfounded.

"Wow, that's fast! Let's find Chef He another time." He turned and went back into the small restaurant.

Seeing Sha Zhu walk away, Liu Haizhong was a little annoyed. "I finally managed to come to your house to see you, and you don't even have the most basic manners!"

If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to go home and rest since I only have one early shift left. I never expected Sha Zhu to have this attitude.

On the way back, I shouldn't have listened to the deaf old lady and come to visit Sha Zhu. That brat...

"What's so interesting?" he said, glancing at the group before turning and walking back.

Looking up, he saw that Yan Laokou was already more than ten meters ahead. He quickened his pace and chased after Yan Bugui.

The deaf old woman stared blankly in the direction the bicycle had gone for a long time.

I haven't seen this child for half a year, and he doesn't even want to talk to this old woman anymore.

The child has grown up eventually and has his own ideas.

Suddenly remembering that Sha Zhu's second uncle was also living in Sha Zhu's house, I sighed.

After all, he had no blood relation with Sha Zhuzi, not even a kinship; they were just neighbors from the same courtyard.

I felt a little resentful; I would never see that honest, simple-minded boy again.

Qin Huairu touched her belly and watched Sha Zhu walk away.

I thought to myself, this silly Zhu is really rich. His bicycle has been used for almost a year and it still looks brand new.

A seven or eight-year-old girl, who could easily donate so much money, moved out of the crowded tenement and now lives in her own small courtyard.

Despite being a wealthy neighbor, I don't know why my mother-in-law dislikes Sha Zhu so much; I never even get a chance to talk to him.

My mother-in-law is so stupid. She doesn't even know how to maintain a good relationship with such a neighbor. Now that our family is in such a state, she still goes looking for trouble with her.

If they had a slightly better relationship, this silly Zhu might have spared a little money out of consideration for their old neighbor, and he wouldn't be living such a miserable life.

Jia Dongxu...

"Ding-dong, the system sprite is at your service!"

Sha Zhu stopped his bicycle at the corner, pointed to the queen bee's little head on the back of his left hand with his finger, and muttered to himself.

“Let’s go. Have your grandsons lead the way to the place where the person who followed us yesterday lived.”

The queen bee flapped her wings, making a "buzzing" sound, and several small bees on her head flew forward.

Sha Zhu hopped on his bicycle, scanned the distance with his mind, and slowly followed behind, about forty or fifty meters away.

We meandered through the various alleyways.

A beggar in tattered clothes, passersby in long gowns with blank stares, children playing naked, narrow alleyways barely wide enough for bicycles…

"Master He!"

Sha Zhu turned his head and saw a young man in a steel mill uniform looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Sha Zhu stopped his bicycle and nodded to the young man.

It was a little awkward knowing I didn't recognize him.

"Master He, what brings you here?" The young man stepped forward.

We're almost at Shichahai, where is this little bee going to lead itself?

"Oh, after get off work I rode my bike to Shichahai for a stroll, and when I tried to find a shortcut back, I almost got lost when I turned into the alleys,"

The young man didn't believe it at all. "Are you kidding me? There's a main road outside, why are you going into the alley to find a shortcut?"

The young man walked up to Sha Zhu and said in a low voice,

"Master He, are you looking for a prostitute? I'll take you there. You can just help us get more food at the canteen from now on."

Sha Zhu thought to himself, "The government has cracked down hard on the brothels in the Eight Great Hutongs, and those prostitutes have all been re-educated and reformed, haven't they?"

Are there still stubborn individuals who hide away and continue working in this industry?

Sha Zhu shook his head, first recalling the bee that had flown eighty or ninety meters away into his spatial storage, and then said, "I just went into the alley to take a look. It's really not what you said. I'm going back now!"

Sha Zhu hurriedly pushed his bicycle forward.

"Hey, Master He, Master He, I'm Liu Jianguo, a fitter from Workshop Three..."

Why is Master He running so fast? Aren't all the people who came here thinking about that thing? Honestly!

Liu Jianguo muttered a few words, glanced at Sha Zhu walking away, and turned back to his own tenement courtyard.

Sha Zhu wandered through the narrow alleyways, feeling incredibly frustrated. How could the government manage things like this? They didn't seem to care at all.

Nanluoguxiang is still clean and tidy. The casinos were destroyed, and many spies were arrested as a result.

Spies! Hmm! I've never arrested spies in these alleys before.

He then pushed his bicycle while simultaneously using his full mental focus to scan the rooms in each courtyard within a hundred meters.

Holy crap, Sha Zhu was shocked as soon as he started scanning carefully; the alleys around here had become havens of filth and crime.

A hidden casino, a black market for buying and selling silver dollars, a base for spies, a courtyard where prostitutes solicit customers, a paradise for petty thugs—no wonder Little Bee lured herself here.

Let's deal with the spies first!

A waiter entered the courtyard, where an old woman was washing vegetables in the backyard, apparently preparing to cook dinner.

In the basement of a room in the front yard, there were four radio transmitters. Sha Zhu knocked out the two women who were transmitting the radios, and then ransacked the basement and its surroundings.

In the room above the basement, a middle-aged man was drinking tea.

Sha Zhu was completely stunned again. He put the bicycle into his spatial storage, scanned the room to find nothing of value, and then pushed his bicycle forward.

Once on the main road, he scanned the space with his mind and used a sleeping incense to waft around the three people's noses. The smoke entered their nostrils, and the three fell into a deep sleep.

Sha Zhu examined the other items that had been collected. The wooden boxes contained the most silver dollars. Could it be that the place in the alley where silver dollars were traded was also connected to these spies?

What about the other venues, like casinos...?

These places all have underground spaces and underground passages. Even if the police come, these criminals can just disappear underground and turn around and be gone. It's really difficult to catch them.

Sha Zhu released the little bees to continue leading the way. When they flew over a courtyard, the bees started circling in the air.

Sha Zhu scanned the area with his mind and was overjoyed to find more than a dozen people feasting in the courtyard.

The eight people who intercepted Sha Zhu after get off work were among them.

There were two tables, with cold dishes, braised food, liquor, stir-fries, and chicken laid out on both tables. Several people were already quite drunk.

Yesterday, while I was eating at a small restaurant in Nanluoguxiang, I overheard two people who had visited Sha Zhu's house talking.

"Brother Jun, do you think we can get our hands on the house that Sha Zhu lives in?" This guy was drunk.

Jun slapped the speaker on the head.

"Are you fucking stupid? Can we even live in that place? The neighborhood office is right next door, we can't do anything there. Are you just jealous of that compound?"

The drunken guy touched his head and chuckled foolishly.

“Look at Xiao Tao’s dilapidated yard, it’s in such a state of disrepair. If there’s a heavy rain, we probably won’t even have a place to stay.”

Jun looked at the dilapidated courtyard. The east wing had collapsed, the broken windows of the west wing had fallen to the ground, and the roof tiles were scattered everywhere.

The wooden door creaked in the breeze. When it rained, the main house was in constant danger of collapsing, as it was raining heavily outside and lightly inside.

Jun was speechless. Xiao Tao was an orphan with no job. Where would he get the money to repair the house?

If we hadn't bullied this kid, with the jobs and money his parents left behind, he wouldn't be short of money for even a simple repair.

Sha Zhu had no idea who Xiao Tao was; he was the kid who got beaten up during an act.

He took out some sleeping pills from his spatial storage and used his mind to project them into a bottle of liquor. Since the remaining people who weren't drunk were already in a daze, they wouldn't notice the change in the bottle.

A few minutes later, all thirteen people collapsed onto the table.

Sha Zhu collected all these people into his spatial storage and quietly arrived at the casino's courtyard, where it was bustling with noise.

After carefully inspecting the underground passage, they moved stones to seal off one end of the exit.

Throw the agents' radio, telegraph machine, and codebook into the underground passage, and also throw the three agents who have been knocked unconscious into the underground passage.

After thinking for a moment, Sha Zhu hardened his heart and threw the thirteen thugs he had taken in into the underground passage and placed them together with the radios of the three spies.

I prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in my heart, "Damn heavens, this is not my fault. I never provoked them. They can only blame themselves. As for whether they can survive, that depends on their luck."

Amitabha Buddha, you little rascal!

He then dressed himself up and went to a spot not far from the casino entrance. With a thought, he transferred several guns inside the casino directly to an underground passage and took all the bullets.

Little yellow calf! Come out and experience this world!

"Moo moo," "Moo moo," "Moo moo," the little yellow calf's cries echoed through the nearby alleyways as soon as it emerged.

The sound traveled for miles around, and many people in the alley came out of their homes to search for the source of the sound.

Under Sha Zhu's mental command, the little yellow ox rushed towards the casino entrance. A few seconds later, a commotion, a commotion, and the sound of people falling down came from inside the casino.

Shouts and cries filled the air.

The gambling tables inside the casino were knocked over and tossed about by the bull, with banknotes flying through the air.

Before the group robbing the underground coins could even start fighting, Little Yellow Ox slammed them against the wall and wooden pillars, causing them to cough up blood repeatedly.

The little yellow calf twisted its body, saw a large crowd, and charged towards it.

Seeing the situation was turning bad, many people ran inside or towards the casino entrance. However, those running towards the entrance hadn't even stepped outside yet...

The sounds of "bang - bang - bang" continued incessantly, and clouds of dust rose from the casino entrance.

The gamblers screamed in fright, some even collapsing to the ground, while the bolder ones turned and ran back.

Ten meters away from the casino entrance, an old man, holding a semi-automatic rifle, was frantically firing at the casino entrance.

That was fucking awesome! Sha Zhu really went wild this time!

The men who had collapsed and were unable to get up had all vomited yellow liquid.

The nearby residents were so frightened by the gunshots that they quickly retreated into their homes and never dared to look for the source of the cow's bellowing again.

The main problem was that the cow was bellowing so loudly. Even if you're curious, you can't risk gunfire to see something unusual.

A few minutes later, Sha Zhu's mental scan revealed that five patrol officers had arrived nearby first. He hurriedly summoned Little Yellow Ox to come out, as the casino was now unusable.

Someone saw the calf run away and tried to run after it, but Sha Zhu shot it directly in the leg. The patrolmen were getting closer and closer.

Looking at the guns they were carrying was unbearable to watch. If the gamblers inside saw that the underground exit was closed and tried to return from there, there would be quite a few of them.

These people might not be able to guard the gate.

Sha Zhu left behind two fully loaded semi-automatic rifles, seeing that no one had come out of the casino for the time being.

The little yellow ox ran to the corner, and once no one was watching, it retracted into its spatial storage. It ran a few steps, then jumped over the wall and escaped.

After pausing for a moment until several patrolmen arrived and picked up the guns from the ground, Sha Zhu ran outside.

If someone in the alley were to peek out, they would only see an old man running frantically towards the outside.

He frantically scanned the surroundings with his mind, fearing that he might encounter patrol officers, police officers from the local station, or people in the alley who might see the old man vanish into thin air.

Sha Zhu hadn't run far from the alley when patrols and armed personnel began converging on him from all directions.

Sha Zhu ran away while dodging, wasting a lot of time.

There were two armed men guarding the intersection ahead, prohibiting everyone from passing through, as there were too many pedestrians.

What should I do? If I can't get out, I'll be in big trouble. A large number of people will arrive soon, and I won't be able to leave.

Damn it, you old workhorse, charge!

Sha Zhu teleported out a mindless old ox from the space.

What a pity, they were planning to slaughter and store the beef.

Sha Zhu used all his strength to slap the old ox's buttocks, almost killing it on the spot.

The old ox, in pain, let out a loud "moo" that echoed through the sky as it charged forward.

Passersby turned their heads and frantically tried to avoid him. In the blink of an eye, the old ox broke through the blockade. The two armed men exchanged a glance and hurriedly gave chase.

This cow must not be killed; it is a sacred cow.

It's just a bit strange. Isn't the legendary cow in Nanluoguxiang supposed to be a small yellow cow? How come this cow is so big!

Sha Zhu laughed inwardly. With the blockade gone, he followed the footsteps of passersby and ran away.

An old man, unnoticed by anyone, ran quite a distance and disappeared into a distant alley in the blink of an eye.

Sha Zhu rode his bicycle on the main road with a smile on his face. A pound of fatty meat was hanging on the handlebars, and the basket contained green vegetables, cucumbers, garlic, and chili peppers.

After entering Nanluoguxiang, there was no sign of it being closed off. There were far fewer people on the street, and even the elderly women chatting at the entrance of the alley were looking absentmindedly into the distance.

"You know, that sound just now sounded a lot like machine gun fire."

"It shouldn't be someone setting off firecrackers, right?"

"I could faintly hear the sound of cows mooing."

"What kind of bull mooing is that? Every day, oxcarts pass by on Nanluoguxiang Street! You're not thinking about that little yellow ox that used to run people over, are you? It hasn't been seen for half a year!"

"Oh, Sha Zhu's back from grocery shopping!" Aunt Dong stared wide-eyed at Sha Zhu's bicycle.

"This, this is so fatty, it must weigh at least a pound! Sha Zhu, where did you buy it?!"

"Meat, I want to eat meat!" The child in Aunt Dong's arms was biting his finger, drooling.

"Aunt Dong, bring your child over later and we'll have some meat scraps. I'm going home to cook!" Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"Meatball, meatball!" The little guy called out to Aunt Dong as soon as he heard Sha Zhu's words.

"Meatball, all you ever think about is meatball," Aunt Dong slapped the little guy's bottom.

At the entrance of the neighborhood office, Director Wang looked into the distance and saw Sha Zhu riding back on his bicycle. He waved to Sha Zhu.
