Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 578: The Eagle and the Dog
When Xu Damao was discussing with Hua Mama why Yi Zhonghai treated Shazhu like this, Grandma Jinhua, who had been sitting in the rocking chair in front of the fireplace for a long time, said, "Stay up and stay awake."

Xu Damao and the two mothers were stunned. Granny Jinhua nodded to Wang Wenyuan and said, "He will, he will make it."

Wang Wenyuan was sitting near the door, teasing Wang Wenli, saying, "Falcon training is a method used to tame Saker Falcons. Grandma, it really is like that. It's just that the Saker Falcon has been replaced by a silly pillar."

After Wang Wenyuan's explanation, the three of them realized how difficult it was to keep an eagle awake. First, you have to catch a fierce eagle, and then you have to stare at each other. This process may last for seven days and seven nights, and some may even last up to ten days. Keeping an eagle awake is a physical job. During this period, you have to watch the eagle without sleep, so that the eagle cannot rest and completely destroy its willpower.

After catching an eagle, they will put a blindfold on it and put it on a rope when they bring it home, so that the eagle can't stand on the shaking rope, which is also one of the ways to prevent it from sleeping. When the rope is about to stop, the hunter will shake the rope next to it to keep the eagle busy. During these five, six, seven or eight days, they will not give it food or water, and they can only eat and drink when it surrenders.

Wang Wenyuan once survived a hawk, and that was when his master was still around. Yushanzi once reminded him that to survive a hawk is a test of willpower. There were many people who could not survive the hawk and eventually died. But if one succeeded, it was like finding a strong and stable arm.

Xu Damao said, "Brother, it does sound like what you said, but I don't think it's like training a hawk. It's more like training a dog. When the dog is almost starving, you feed it a bite of food, and usually just watch the dog wander around."

Mother Hua patted him and said with a smile: "Why are you talking so meanly?"

At this time, Xiao Wenli looked up and suddenly stared at Wang Wenyuan without saying anything. Wang Wenyuan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, now that Sister Yushui is gone, will there be no one to play with me?" asked the little girl.

Wang Wenyuan smiled and said, "No, I think even if your sister Yushui leaves, she lives next door and should be able to come visit you."

Wen Li said, "Then she can't always be by my side, right?"

"That's true, but don't we still have my brother and mother?" Wang Wenyuan said.

Wen Li insisted, "It's not anytime, right?"

Wang Wenyuan felt that the little girl had something to say, so he smiled and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Buy me a puppy so that it can accompany me at any time instead of all of you, okay?" Wen Li looked up at Wang Wenyuan with a smile.

Wang Wenyuan said: "Little girl, if you want a puppy, just say you want a puppy, that's all."

"Brother outlasted the eagle, I want to outlast the dog!" The little girl raised her arms and shouted.

The people in the room laughed, and Xu Damao said, "You have ambition, to endure the dog's suffering, to endure the dog's suffering?"

Wang Wenyuan saw Xu Damao's expression and knew that he must have some bad ideas. He ignored him and asked Wenli where she would sleep tonight. Wenli said, "I want to sleep with my brother."

Hua's mother rolled her eyes and said, "You are such a heartless kid. Now that you have a brother, you don't want your mother anymore in just two days."

The little girl immediately ran to Hua's mother, took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I will accompany you tomorrow, one day each." Hua's mother was amused by the little girl again.

Xu Damao stood up and said, "I have to go back. The yard will definitely be busy today. Grandma, two moms and brother, I'm going to get some information and report to you tomorrow." He stood up, put on his hat and walked out.

Wang Wenyuan said, "Okay, by the way, if there's any excitement, please call over here."

"I understand, brother." Xu Damao said and ran out.

Mother Feng said, "I don't know why the rain is crying." Mother Hua looked at her and said, "Okay, don't worry. I think the little girl will come back tomorrow, maybe tonight."

When Mother Feng heard this, she said, "I hope so. Forget it. I'll go cook. What would the old lady like to eat?"

Grandma Jinhua opened her eyes and said, "I want to drink meat porridge." Mother Feng agreed and left the house. Wang Wenyuan also stood up and went back to his yard. He had not finished cleaning his basement yet.

In Yuer Hutong, in an interrogation room of the street office, Yi Zhonghai sat in the middle against the wall, with two militiamen standing next to him. Opposite him was a rectangular table with two people sitting behind it, one was Director Wang and the other was Deputy Director Xu of the police station.

This interrogation had lasted for three hours. It started after the news came from Baoding. Yi Zhonghai was like a defeated rooster, with his head lowered and not saying a word. In fact, he was having a fierce ideological struggle in his head, and he was also wondering what went wrong.

After a while, there was a noise outside. Director Wang and Deputy Director Xu looked at each other, stood up and walked out together. When they got outside, they saw that it was the direction of the gate. Director Wang shouted, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

Officer Xiao Wang came over from outside and said, "Director Wang, there is a woman and an old lady outside who want to see you, but Uncle Qi is stopping them from coming in."

Director Wang said to Deputy Director Xu, "It's probably Yi Zhonghai's wife and the old lady in their backyard. Let's put it this way. It's no use for Yi Zhonghai to remain silent. After all, he has withheld letters and embezzled living expenses. As long as the post office can provide the proof stub, we can determine the charges. You should take the person back for questioning first. As for the honey trap, it's still under discussion. After all, it takes two to fight."

Deputy Director Xu said, "Okay, Yi Zhonghai is really stubborn. He won't speak until he sees evidence. Come on, I'll take him out the back door. After you meet those two people, call their factory. After all, the higher-ups have sent a working group to the factory. Now is a critical period, and we can't affect the overall situation."

Director Wang nodded and said, "I know. Okay, you take the people out through the back door, and I'll go meet those two people."

After a while, Director Wang received Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law and the deaf old lady in his office.

After the deaf old lady sat down, she drank a sip of water and then said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, you are familiar with our yard. Yi Zhonghai is a senior technician in the steel mill. He has a high prestige and works steadily. He is also an honest person in the yard, helping neighbors, and respecting the elderly and loving the young. Otherwise, no one would have chosen him as a great master. You took him away. Is there any misunderstanding?"

The woman behind the deaf old lady just shed tears, crying quietly, looking at Director Wang.

Director Wang stared at the deaf old lady for a while and said, "Yi Zhonghai is so good? Old lady, do you know He Yushui?"

The deaf old lady was stunned and said, "I know her. She's the little girl from the He family in the Central Courtyard. Did she say anything about Yi Zhonghai?" Yi Zhonghai's wife stopped crying and looked at Director Wang.

Director Wang said, "No, no, I just want to ask, how long has it been since you last saw this little girl in the yard?"

The deaf old lady frowned and thought for a while, then turned to look at Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law and said, "Cui Lan, I basically don't leave the house, you tell me."

Li Cuilan thought about it, and her expression gradually changed from thinking, to doubt, and then to shock. She said, "It should have been half a year since we last saw each other. This, this silly Zhu didn't mention it, and we didn't pay attention to it."

This time the deaf old lady was shocked. A little girl, helpless and disappeared in the yard for more than half a year, and no one in the compound noticed it. Even her brother didn't expect that he had a younger sister?

"Your compound is really united. You are truly a model of the new society. If a little girl starved to death outside, no one among you would know about it. You are such kind and lovely people." Director Wang said sarcastically.

The old lady and Li Cuilan both blushed with embarrassment. The deaf old lady immediately changed the subject and said, "Does this have anything to do with Zhonghai?" she asked tentatively.

Director Wang looked at the two people and didn't want to say anything more to them. He stood up and said, "It's more or less related. He has been detained by the police station. Okay, come with me. I'll take you to see some people."

After saying that, he walked outside without even looking, and the two people stood up and followed closely behind him.
