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

"Director Wu, the old lady's hearing used to be intermittent, but she could still hear occasionally. Now she can't hear at all. Here's the certificate from the hospital."

Yi Zhonghai took out a few pieces of paper that described the deaf old lady's condition and were stamped with the hospital's official seal.

Director Wu took a look and confirmed that it was true.

"Okay, I'll give you a certificate. The old lady has been staying in the hospital these past two days, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, our subdistrict office will also take time out in the next two days to visit and comfort the old lady."

"Thank you, Director Wu. The old lady will definitely be very happy when she finds out."

"It's nothing. The old lady is a five-guarantee household. It's only natural for us to go and comfort her. If there's nothing else, you can go back."

Director Wu ordered them to leave.

"Okay, Director Wu, you're busy. I'll be leaving now."

Yi Zhonghai walked out with the certificate.

"An unknown poisonous person specifically targeted an old lady? Could it be related to enemy spies or some evil sect?"

After Yi Zhonghai left, Director Wu sat in the chair and muttered.

"No matter what, let's investigate first. If there's no connection, that's best. If there is, report it. We're about to be promoted to the district, so it's better to be cautious at this time."

Director Wu didn't want to cause any trouble before getting promoted, he just wanted to get promoted quietly.

Chapter 46 New Year Gift Package

When Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard, it was very lively.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many workers from the steel mill came to pay New Year's greetings, most of whom were apprentices of Jiang Daniu and Liu Haizhong.

The two men treated their apprentices very well and were not shy about keeping their secrets. As long as the apprentices were willing to learn, they would teach them. Other low-level workers would often come to them to learn skills.

There is nothing much to say about Jiang Daniu, he gets along very well with his apprentices.

But Liu Haizhong is different. He either beats or scolds his two younger sons, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and rarely has a good face.

However, he is very attentive to his apprentices and is the best at teaching them in the workshop.

Liu Haizhong is now a level six worker, and he has three apprentices who are level four workers.

Liu Haizhong has a lot of prestige among these disciples, and the disciples also trust him very much.

So the scene at the Liu family became Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu busy serving Liu Haizhong and his apprentices.

Someone from Yi Zhonghai's family also came, but not many. They handed the gifts to Jia Dongxu and left without saying a word to him.

Yi Zhonghai had only a few disciples, and the only one he taught with care was Jia Dongxu.

Because Jia Dongxu had kowtowed and become Yi Zhonghai's disciple, he was also the person chosen by Yi Zhonghai to take care of his elderly parents.

Yi Zhonghai naturally has a preference for Jia Dongxu. Of course, no one will say anything about this, after all, there is a difference between close and distant relatives.

As for his other disciples, Yi Zhonghai adopted a laissez-faire attitude. He would teach them, but he would also follow the old traditions, although it was not the kind of three years of apprenticeship and two years of service.

But we will also examine the person's character for a period of time before deciding whether to teach, how to teach, how much to teach, and to what extent?

Yi Zhonghai always keeps some tricks up his sleeve for his apprentice.

Even if it was Jia Dongxu, he would deliberately suppress him to prevent Jia Dongxu from escaping his control.

Therefore, the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and other apprentices was not very deep. They just completed the tasks of the factory.

Looking at the happy scene of Jiang Daniu and his apprentice, Sha Zhu couldn't help but recall the days when he was an apprentice at Emei Hotel.

At that time, Sha Zhu was just a cutter, not even qualified to be a chef. The master was very strict but also very kind to him, and his fellow apprentices were also good to him.

But after He Daqing left, when Sha Zhu went to Emei Hotel again, he was told that he had been fired.

In a rage, Sha Zhu cut off contact with his master and fellow apprentices. He hadn't visited his master's home in the past few years.

Now I think back to those days when I was an apprentice, although it was tiring, it was not a bad life.

"Humph"

The pain in his chest made Sha Zhu withdraw from his memories. He let out a muffled groan, his brows involuntarily wrinkled, and his old face twisted again.

"Why is it hurting again? Is acupuncture only effective for this short period of time? This old Chinese doctor is a bit of a rip-off."

Sha Zhu cursed and took out a plaster and put it on his body. The cold plaster quickly took effect, and the warmth made Sha Zhu hum involuntarily.

After a while, the warm feeling disappeared, and a burning pain came instead. This pain was different from the pain from Jiang Fan's kick. This burning pain was accompanied by a strong force, making him feel that his whole body was connected.

Sha Zhu knew that the medicine was taking effect, but the pain was really unbearable. Sha Zhu quickly took out a painkiller and swallowed it.

It took a long time before Sha Zhu felt much better.

"This plaster is really powerful. It just hurts a little. I have to rely on this painkiller to work."

Sha Zhu wiped the sweat from his head and closed the window. He had just felt a pain and was sweating all over, but now it wasn't as painful anymore. A slight breeze was blowing, and it felt a bit cool.

Yi Zhonghai ran to the hospital again, handed the certificate to the doctor, and completed the reimbursement procedures for the five-guarantee households.

I went to the ward to see the old lady again. The deaf old lady was lying on the bed to rest, and I didn't know if she was asleep.

"My dear, I went to the neighborhood committee office. Director Wu said he might take time out to visit the old lady in the next two days. I'll help you take care of her in the next two days."

When Yi Zhonghai said this, he was not avoiding the deaf old lady. There was no need to avoid a deaf man.

"Zhong Hai, then I'll go back and pack your things for you?"

"No need, we can just take turns keeping watch for a few days. You can get a good night's sleep when you get home. Didn't you spray insecticide at home?"

I'll go back and take a look later, maybe I can find that damn bug."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head. There was no need for two people to look after the deaf old lady. If Director Wu had not said that he wanted to visit the deaf old lady, he would not have stayed here to take care of the old lady.

"That's good. If we find the bug, we won't get bitten. By the way, when I went back to pack up today, everyone in the hospital asked me how the old lady was doing. I just said she was bitten by a bug."

Aunt Wu was still a little afraid of the insect, and couldn't understand why there was such a poisonous insect in her house when her home was quite clean and mice were not common.

"It's okay. I'm going to tell you about this when I get back. I can't hide this."

The two of them talked for a few more words, mainly Aunt Wu complaining about how unlucky she was to encounter such a bad thing on the first day of the new year.

Yi Zhonghai was a little tired when he came out of the hospital, so he asked a car to take him back to the courtyard.

……

In the courtyard, Jiang Fan was checking the New Year gift package given by the system.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving 666 yuan in cash, 10 small yellow croakers, a pair of chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep, several bills, 10 boxes of health wine, 10 cartons of healthy cigarettes, 10 kilograms of candy, 30 kilograms of melon seeds, 10 kilograms of various dried fruits, 1 random skill light ball, 1 hard red brick, and 10 strings of specially made thousand-shot firecrackers! Supplies distributed. I wish the host a happy new year."

"It seems like there's something strange mixed in?"

Jiang Fan looked at the system items one by one and found the skill light ball and the hard red brick.

Jiang Fan looked at the brick carefully and weighed it. It looked like an ordinary red brick from every perspective.

Jiang Fan held the brick in his left hand, clenched his right fist and punched the brick hard.

There was a loud "bang", and the brick was intact. Jiang Fan felt a burst of pain in his right hand, and it was a little red and swollen.

"This is really a hard brick. With my current strength, I can easily crush a musk ox skull with this punch, not to mention a brick.

This brick is really hard, it's a product of the system, it must be a top-notch product! If I use this thing to hit someone, it won't kill them directly. I have the strength of a slap, but I don't know if I can use it.

Jiang Fan thought about the purpose of the brick. It seemed that it had no other use except to block bullets. Attacking himself with his enhanced body, the power of a palm, and the Makarov pistol.

It seems that the defense is poor. No matter what, I am just a stronger carbon-based creature. If I were to be hit by hundreds or thousands of shells, I would most likely die.

With bricks, the lack of defense can be slightly compensated.

"Come, let's see what surprises the skill light ball will bring me. I hope my luck won't be too bad."

Chapter 47 Meeting Bug

Jiang Fan placed the skill light ball on his forehead, closed his eyes, and began to absorb it.

This time, the skill light ball brought Jiang Fan the skill of full-level unlimited fighting.

Unrestricted fighting is not bound by various rules of the ring. Unrestricted fighting techniques focus on utilizing everything available, attacking all attackable positions of the enemy, and then killing the enemy.

The most important thing is that this skill comes with cold weapon proficiency, and is also a conceptual-level skill. As long as the weapon does not contain gunpowder, it falls into the category of cold weapons.

Within this range, anything in Jiang Fan's hands becomes the sharpest weapon. Furthermore, the system also gives Jiang Fan simulation abilities, allowing him to simulate using weapons to fight enemies in his mind.

"This thing is a bit dangerous."

Jiang Fan tried to take the brick out of the space and got the brick.

Jiang Fan's mind flashed with the idea of ​​using the brick as a weapon. He immediately simulated hundreds of ways to attack with the brick. The consequences of each method were also clear.

For example, which part of the back of a person's head should be hit with a brick to knock them unconscious; which part of the head should be hit to accurately pull out their teeth; how much force is needed to make the other person lose the ability to move, etc.

"This is just a brick. If it were a dagger or a three-edged bayonet, I really don't dare to think about it."

Jiang Fan simply couldn't bear to think of himself dashing left and right in the crowd with a weapon in his hand, killing everyone.

Although in the past three years, he went hunting in the mountains and killed many animals such as rabbits and pheasants.

But the target of his killing in his mind just now was a human. At that moment, he felt a heavy sense of guilt in his heart.

"Ding! Detecting a change in the host's mentality, adjustments have been made. From now on, when the host simulates unlimited weapon combat techniques in his mind, the opponent will be set to Sakura (this time as well).

To ensure the host's mental health, the simulated scenes will not affect the host's psychology. Please feel free to use it."

"Snapped"

Jiang Fan slapped himself. "Damn it! I actually felt guilty for killing a Sakura person. As expected, my killing intent is still not pure enough! I need more practice!"

Jiang Fan became excited when he learned that the simulation objects given by the system were all Sakura people and that the simulation scenes would not affect him.

I didn’t catch up in my last life, and I don’t have any chance in this life. I can’t even enjoy it in my mind!

So Jiang Fan used everything available around him and simulated thousands of times in his mind how to eliminate the Sakura people.

……

Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard and met Yan Bugui at the door.

"Lao Yan."

"Lao Yi, are you back from the hospital?"

Yan Bugui is not Liu Haizhong. If Liu Haizhong heard Yi Zhonghai, who is not an uncle, calling him like this, he would definitely correct the address in time.

"Well, I just went to the street office to get a certificate for the old lady, and then sent the certificate to the hospital. I just got back."

A trace of fatigue flashed across Yi Zhonghai's face. He hadn't slept all night and had run back and forth several times, so he was indeed tired.

"Lao Yi, you've worked hard. How is the old lady doing now?"

Yan Bugui felt a little admiration for Yi Zhonghai's behavior in taking care of the old lady, but that was all. After being neighbors for so many years, he still knew what Yi Zhonghai was thinking.

He wanted to set an example of filial piety for the people in the courtyard, which would help him with his retirement. Yan Bugui could even guess at the old lady's inheritance scheme.

"There's nothing wrong with my body, I'm just deaf, completely deaf."

Yi Zhonghai said calmly.

"Are you really completely deaf?"

"Well, that's why I called you. The old lady was bitten by some insect and became deaf from the poison. I thought the insect might be somewhere in the yard.

I want you to gather everyone and tell them to stop getting bit by bugs."

Yi Zhonghai said earnestly.

"Yes, Lao Yi, you are right. We should tell everyone and raise their vigilance."

Yan Bugui nodded, a serious expression on his face. He had no doubts about what Yi Zhonghai said this time. This matter concerned the safety of the entire hospital, and he believed that Yi Zhonghai would not talk nonsense.

"Well, Lao Yi, you go to the Intermediate Court, and I'll go find Lao Liu. We should tell him about this. Let's have a meeting and tell everyone about it."

The two men took action immediately. Yan Bugui asked his wife Yang Ruihua to notify everyone in the front yard, and he ran to the backyard to find Liu Haizhong.
