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

A trace of trance flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, and a hoarse voice sounded, "You, know everything?"

"I know. I knew from the beginning that you took me in as your apprentice for your old age. At that time, I thought that if you were sincere to me, it would be no big deal for me to take care of you in your old age.

Later, as we got along, I found that although you had some calculations towards me, you were mostly sincere, so I made up my mind to take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life.

But I didn't expect you to do such a big thing without telling anyone."

Jia Dongxu said quietly, while Yi Zhonghai opposite him was already sobbing with tears streaming down his face.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Why didn't you say it earlier? Why didn't you tell me what you thought earlier? If you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Chapter 387: Jia Dongxu Agrees to See the End

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was really full of regret. He didn't expect that Jia Dongxu had discovered his thoughts so early, and he didn't expect that Jia Dongxu was so determined to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

If he had known what Jia Dongxu was thinking, why would he have fallen for Sha Zhu? He wouldn't have plotted against He Daqing, and there wouldn't have been all this mess afterwards.

Teach Jia Dongxu the skills honestly, and wait until both the master and the apprentice become eighth-level workers. It will be a good thing if both of them become eighth-level workers.

But now it's all gone.

Recalling the past, Yi Zhonghai suddenly thought of a person, an old deaf man.

"It's all her fault! It's all her fault. She was the one who advised me to control Sha Zhu. It's all her fault."

Yi Zhonghai burst into tears and blamed all the blame on the old deaf man.

This made Jia Dongxu feel a little helpless. He knew in his heart that if Yi Zhonghai himself did not have similar ideas, how could the old deaf man easily convince him?

All this was because Yi Zhonghai didn't trust Jia Dongxu, or it could be said that he brought this upon himself.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai crying bitterly, Jia Dongxu couldn't bear it. He sighed and said, "No matter what, you have been my master for more than ten years. I learned this skill from you. When you pass away, I will bury you properly and won't let your body be exposed in the wilderness."

Yi Zhonghai immediately raised his head upon hearing this and asked in great surprise, "Dongxu, is what you said true? Are you willing to bury me?"

Jia Dongxu didn't say anything, just nodded.

This made Yi Zhonghai feel a lot more at ease. He had spent most of his life living for the purpose of taking care of himself in his old age and seeing him to the end of his life. Now he had finally gotten what he wanted.

"Okay, okay, Dongxu, I knew you were a good person. I, Yi Zhonghai, didn't make a mistake in choosing you. Dongxu, remember, don't let them cremate me, or I won't be able to be reborn as a human being. Bury me, you must bury me. And..."

Yi Zhonghai explained his affairs after his death bit by bit, and Jia Dongxu listened patiently without showing any impatience. As for the coffin and yellow paper that Yi Zhonghai mentioned, Jia Dongxu said that he would talk about it when the time came.

After talking for several minutes, Yi Zhonghai finally stopped.

"Dongxu, this is all I ask of you, Master. Can you handle it?"

"I'll try my best." There was a hint of helplessness in Jia Dongxu's tone. Although he also wanted to fulfill Yi Zhonghai's last wish, he was short of money and lacked the financial resources.

Yi Zhonghai seemed oblivious to this, his face filled with delight. Or perhaps he knew it was unlikely, and was just forcing a smile.

When the time came, Jia Dongxu left the police station. After thinking about it, he decided to bury him as Yi Zhonghai said, but there was no need for a coffin or anything like that.

Just wrap it up on a straw mat, find a place to dig a hole and bury it. At most, you can burn some paper for it. When your life gets better, you can go to worship it during festivals. There is nothing more to do.

Looking back at the police station again, Jia Dongxu shook his head slightly. The next time he met Yi Zhonghai, they would be separated by the Yin and Yang.

For the next three days, Sha Zhu's family was busy accepting Yi Zhonghai's inheritance. Jia Zhang and Bang Geng leaned on the window and watched, watching the property that should have belonged to their family being taken away.

Jia Zhang gritted her teeth, hatred in her eyes, and greed was clearly visible in her triangular eyes. "Bang Geng, do you see? Those things should have been ours."

Xiao Banggeng also nodded vigorously, as if he wanted to remember the people who entered and left Yi Zhonghai's room.

Sha Zhu and the others naturally couldn't see how many eyes were staring at them from behind. At this moment, he was counting the things in Yi Zhonghai's house.

From large items like tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes and beds to small items like pots, pans, clothes and bedding.

Sha Zhu finally understood why those defeated soldiers, lackeys, and Japanese soldiers before the liberation loved to plunder. This business with no capital investment was really tempting.

But when he thought that these things were not enough to cover his losses, Sha Zhu felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Okay, I've seen enough people these past two days. I'm going back to Baocheng tomorrow. You'll take care of the family from now on. Do you understand?"

Sitting on the chair, He Daqing gave instructions to Sha Zhu in a serious tone.

Sha Zhu said nonchalantly, "Just go back with peace of mind. I've taken good care of Yu Shui even though you've been away for so many years."

He Daqing glanced at him, then said gently to Yang Shufen, "Shazhu is a brainless kid. You have to take better care of him from now on. You also have to worry about selling the house and the work station. But also take care of your health and don't exhaust yourself. I'm waiting for you to give birth to a grandson for my He family."

Yang Shufen blushed slightly and whispered, "I understand."

He Yushui's eyes were slightly red, with tears in them. "Dad, can't you stay here? Even if you have a lover in Baocheng, you can still marry her home. Why do you have to stay there?"

He Yushui really didn't want He Daqing to leave. These few days could be said to be the happiest and most joyful days she had lived in the past ten years.

A trace of conflict flashed across He Daqing's face. He didn't want to be separated from his children, especially after he had a granddaughter and his daughter-in-law was pregnant.

In addition, the warm atmosphere of the family together these days also made his heart, which had been wandering for ten years, feel a little settled.

Looking at He Yushui's expectant eyes, He Daqing thought for a moment, "Then after I go back and deal with the White Widow's family, I'll ask her if she's willing to come back with me."

"it is good!"

He Yushui immediately turned from crying to laughing, feeling extremely happy. Even Sha Zhu was a little excited. If He Daqing really came back, the burden on his shoulders would be much lighter.

But he still said stubbornly, "Don't let yourself get caught by those two bastards from the Bai family."

He Daqing said with some pride, "Those two little bastards can't beat me. Their jobs still rely on my connections. If they don't want to lose everything, they have no choice but to obey."

Now Sha Zhu didn't say anything more. He also had some understanding of He Daqing's abilities.

Late at night, He Daqing quietly walked from the middle yard to the front yard and knocked on the window of Jiang Fan's house.

Jiang Fan, who had just fallen asleep, opened his eyes immediately. Although it was dark, he could still recognize that it was He Daqing standing outside the window.

"I didn't expect you to come to me now." Looking at the man in front of him who looked like Sima Yi, Jiang Fan spoke slowly.

Jiang Fan had already expected that He Daqing would come to find him. He didn't see He Daqing the last time he went to Baocheng, and he didn't even go to look for him.

But what he told He Yushui was that he had seen it.

He Yushui would not hide it from her father, this lie would be exposed with just one poke.

But Jiang Fan believed that with He Daqing's cleverness, he would not expose this matter, and the facts proved that he was right.

Chapter 388: Death of Yi Zhonghai

He Daqing looked at Jiang Fan and said, "I don't know how you heard about Yi Zhonghai, but thank you anyway."

Jiang Fan shook his head and said casually, "I just want to make Yi Zhonghai unlucky. He has a shady background. If it weren't for this incident, it would take me a lot of effort to bring Yi Zhonghai down."

A look of fear flashed in He Daqing's eyes. He knew that his whole family had been used as a knife by Jiang Fan, but they had no choice but to be the knife.

At this moment, He Daqing couldn't help but think, if Jiang Fan took action against their family, would Sha Zhu and the others be able to hold on?

In a flash, He Daqing came up with a series of conspiracies and tricks.

"Anyway, if you hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have discovered what happened to Yi Zhonghai. Thank you anyway."

He Daqing calmed down and expressed his gratitude with some sincerity.

Jiang Fan raised his hand and said, "I told you, I only found out about this when I ran into you in Baocheng, that's all."

He Daqing nodded, "I understand. I told Yu Shui the same thing. I didn't expose this matter."

"That's best. Anything else? If not, I'm going back to bed."

"There is indeed one more thing." He Daqing paused. "Shazhu has told me everything that has happened over the years. He's a fool and has done a lot of things that have offended people. I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you won't blame him for his rudeness."

As he spoke, He Daqing bent down.

Jiang Fan dodged to the side and said coldly, "Let Sha Zhu apologize for what he did. I'm afraid he doesn't even know he's wrong."

He Daqing gave a helpless, bitter smile. He knew Sha Zhu's personality too well, and the chances of him admitting his fault were extremely low. Even if he did apologize, it would be lip service.

"I will persuade him well and keep him out of trouble."

Jiang Fan turned and left. Whatever He Daqing did was his business.

Sha Zhu hadn't jumped in front of him yet. If he did, he wouldn't be polite. As for He Daqing, he was an old man in his sixties. Even if he had some ability, what could he do?

After Jiang Fan left, He Daqing stood there, his heart aching for a long time. He was different from the others in the courtyard. In his past, he had cooked for many high-ranking officials and powerful people.

Over time, he would be able to see something.

Jiang Fan gave him the same feeling as those big shots. He seemed casual, but in fact, he had already weighed the person in his mind.

It’s just that Jiang Fan doesn’t seem to like doing it himself. He would rather sit behind the scenes and use everything he can to kill the other party.

Like Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing was sure that Jiang Fan could kill him quietly, but he still chose to do it in another way.

Although he didn't know why, He Daqing felt inexplicably relieved.

Shaking his head, He Daqing went home.

Jiang Fan returned home and lay down. He knew that He Daqing must be very afraid of him now, but it didn't matter.

He Daqing was not the only one in the yard who was afraid of him. Yan Bugui was also afraid of him, and so were all the other older and smart people.

Only some young people are ignorant of the immensity of the world and think they can compete with themselves.

"He Daqing, He Daqing, I don't want to deal with Sha Zhu, but there's nothing I can do. He and I are opposites, you'd better pray that he doesn't fall into my hands."

……

A gunshot!

A few sparrows took off from the woods.

Yi Zhonghai is dead.

When Jia Dongxu went to collect the body, there was no coffin, only a straw mat, which he rolled up and buried in the pit.

Jia Dongxu also put up a sign that read "Yi Zhonghai's Tomb."

After kneeling in front of the grave and kowtowed three times, Jia Dongxu went home.

The date of Yi Zhonghai's death was no secret in the courtyard, and Yang Ergou's mouth was no better than the belt of his cotton trousers.

Especially in this matter, the news of Yi Zhonghai's execution today had already spread throughout the surrounding area.

So when Jia Dongxu came back, everyone looked at him silently. No one came forward to talk to him, and no one said they wanted to go to Yi Zhonghai's grave to burn incense or paper.

Who made Yi Zhonghai do something dishonest? They didn't dare to get involved anymore.

In the yard, Xu Damao was the happiest person, followed by Liu Haizhong, and finally Sha Zhu's family.

Xu Damao had been staying in the front yard this morning, waiting for Jia Dongxu to go and collect Yi Zhonghai's body. If Jiang Fan hadn't stopped him, he would have followed Jia Dongxu and then danced on Yi Zhonghai's grave.

"This Jia Dongxu is really loyal. Even after Yi Zhonghai said such words, he was still willing to collect the body." Xu Damao said with a sigh while eating melon seeds.

Recalling the past, Jiang Fan sighed, "Jia Dongxu is a good person, but he has a bad fate."

Xu Damao also nodded in agreement. "If I had a mother like Jia Zhang, I would have gone crazy long ago. At the very least, she would have been beaten every day. It's really not easy for Jia Dongxu to tolerate Jia Zhang."

When Xu Damao thought of all the mysterious operations of Jia Zhang, he couldn't help laughing. In his opinion, Jia Zhang was simply a mentally ill person.

Brain logic... there is no logic at all.

The only logic is that the good things are hers, the bad things are others', and as long as things do not develop according to her requirements, it is God's fault.

Seeing Jia Dongxu coming back, Sha Zhu was relieved.

This morning, He Daqing has returned to Baocheng. If everything goes well for him, he will be back in about three to five days.

If things don't go smoothly, that's another story. However, He Daqing also said that if he encounters any trouble, he will call back and ask Sha Zhu to help.

Perhaps because of his meeting with Jiang Fan, He Daqing was afraid that if he really stayed in Baocheng, Sha Zhu might fall into Jiang Fan's hands one day and be killed by him.

Then the He family is no different from being extinct. It is impossible to let this old tree bloom again.

Although he believed that he was quite capable, what was the point of giving his granddaughter an uncle?

So He Daqing had already made up his mind. He would come back after dealing with the White Widow's family. As for the several widows he had a crush on, he could only reluctantly let them go.

In the backyard of the Liu family, there was a half-full bottle of white wine in front of Liu Haizhong.

After learning of Yi Zhonghai's death, he couldn't help but drink.

If you were to ask whether he and Yi Zhonghai had any feelings for each other, then that was not the case. But if it was hatred, then that was certainly possible.
