"Huh, I'm all better?" Sha Zhu touched his body in a daze. He had been in so much pain that he couldn't breathe just now, so how come he was suddenly fine?
"Heh, silly Zhu." Xu Damao called out, then shook his head and said nothing.
Sha Zhu sensed something was wrong, looked around, and found that everyone was looking at him with disdain.
Yes, he suddenly realized something.
"It's all your fault! It was all your scheme!" Sha Zhu shouted, pointing at Wang Shouren.
"Is this also a scheme?" Wang Shouren rolled up his sleeve, revealing a patch of bruises, the very marks the deaf old woman had made earlier.
Then, Wang Shouren simply glanced at Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, you'd better watch yourself."
"Bang!"
Wang Shouren stomped his foot, and the brick beneath his feet shattered into pieces instantly.
After doing all that, he left without looking back.
"Hiss... that force. Sha Zhu, didn't you say this was all Wang Shouren's scheme? Everyone else gets bruised and battered after taking a hit. What about you?" Xu Damao said with a mocking and disdainful expression.
"I... I didn't have any!" Sha Zhu was certain that he was covered in black soot. How could a wrestler like him not understand that kind of pain? He immediately took off his coat.
Many women simply turned their eyes away, while quite a few older women gave Sha Zhu a lot of comments and criticisms.
"Hahahaha!" A burst of laughter erupted from the audience.
"Silly Zhu, are you trying to fool us? Are you trying to fool us with all this fat?"
Sha Zhu paused for a moment, looked down, and saw that his skin was slightly dark, but there wasn't a single scar on it.
"Yeah, you're such a scoundrel, Sha Zhu. What's that saying again? You've taken extortion to a whole new level!"
"Let's go, let's go. This idiot is just messing with us. Tsk, bullying people is one thing, but dragging an old lady into it too." Xu Damao said, leading Lou Xiao'e back. Lou Xiao'e, however, gave the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu a meaningful look.
Qin Huairu seemed lost in thought, considering that there was now a shirtless guy in the Central Courtyard. They didn't linger, as staying any longer would easily lead to gossip.
"You know what, that Wang Shouren is really formidable, but he's also quite honorable. With his strength, if he were to get serious, wouldn't Sha Zhu be lying on the ground right away?"
"That's right, it's that idiot Zhu. Ugh, I don't know what the old lady sees in him. All day long, he's bullying this person and that person, and his mouth is so foul..."
"Hey, hey, don't go! I'm telling the truth!" Sha Zhu tried to stop them, but was stopped by the deaf old lady.
"My dear grandson! My dear grandson!"
"Oh dear, my old lady, what's wrong with you again?"
"Help me back to my room!"
"Please wait a moment... I need to..."
"Help me back to my room! Cough cough... cough cough..." The deaf old lady was so excited that she tapped the ground twice with her cane.
"Okay...okay."
In the backyard, Wang Shouren was already in his house. He believed that after today, Sha Zhu's life would become increasingly difficult, and as for the deaf old lady, he wouldn't bother with her if she didn't bother him. Even if she did, he wouldn't harm an old woman. In most cases, he would still morally condemn this old patriarch of the compound. This was a small warning.
For at least the next two years, he will not spend most of his time in this courtyard.
Some deterrence is necessary. Otherwise, when I come back, I don't even know if my home will still exist.
The deaf old woman's home.
Sha Zhu helped her back home, his eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.
The deaf old woman sat down in the chair, her voice tinged with helplessness: "Silly Zhuzi, what exactly do you want to do?"
"What do you mean, what do you mean?" Sha Zhu scratched his head, not quite understanding.
Why are you always targeting Wang Shouren?
"I wasn't targeting him, it was that kid who said he wanted to make a bet with me!"
Sha Zhu's main strength is his stubbornness. Is there a reason for that? No, he can't exactly say that he doesn't like him.
The deaf old woman sighed, "You've really offended him. This is also my fault..."
"So what if I offended him? What can he do to me? My family has been poor farmers for three generations!" Sha Zhu curled his lip in disdain.
"Poor peasant, poor peasant, you can only say this to me, but you must not go around shouting it out!" The deaf old woman angrily leaned on her cane again.
"Okay, okay, I won't make a fuss, I won't make a fuss."
Seeing that Sha Zhu was completely unmoved by reason, the deaf old lady waved her hand wearily and said, "Go away, I'm tired."
"Alright, Grandma, you should rest well!" Sha Zhu replied cheerfully, then turned and left.
The things that Sha Zhu did spread rapidly outwards from the courtyard house. His reputation plummeted again at an absurdly high rate. After hearing about this, many matchmakers couldn't help but pat their chests and mutter, "It's a good thing we didn't actually introduce a good girl to this fool, or his reputation would have been ruined."
In the courtyard on a summer night, a gentle breeze wafted through the air, carrying the faint fragrance of the plants. It must be said, Uncle San's few potted plants, often considered "weeds," had done a great job, always offering a touch of tranquility amidst the oppressive heat. The surrounding trees swayed gently in the breeze, and beneath them, a figure quietly moved from the middle courtyard to the backyard.
We arrived at Wang Shouren's door.
He pushed the doorknob.
He quietly slipped into the house.
As soon as I entered the house, a strong arm pulled me into a hug.
"Stop messing around, I brought some liniment, you can apply it to me... Waaah..."
Qin Huairu's lips were sealed, then released.
The night was beautiful, a gentle breeze was blowing, and cicadas began to chirp in the sweltering summer heat.
Gradually, the bright moon in the sky was gradually covered by drifting clouds. Perhaps due to the high temperature, the heat from the ground churned, and the clouds began to become damp. Lightning struck from high above, crashing into the soft clouds, causing them to ripple with each strike. The sound of lightning followed closely behind.
"boom!"
The sound was like an explosion in my mind.
One drop, two drops, three drops.
The rain gradually fell from the sky.
"boom!"
Another clap of thunder sounded, and above the clouds, churning and churning, the clouds contracted and transformed into the shape of lightning.
This accumulation reached its maximum, and then there was another loud "boom".
As a raindrop the size of a bean fell, it seemed to sound the charge of this torrential rain.
"Da, da, da, da..."
The sound of rain soothed the slightly hot summer and made the courtyard house look a little softer.
The plants in Uncle San's pots, nourished by the rain, have become even more charming.
"boom!"
Another flash, and lightning disappeared into the clouds once more.
The rain intensified.
