Life in siheyuan era

He didn't care about Li Bo's pettiness, nor did he care that Li Bo was tailing him. After cycling for a while, he realized Li Bo was no longer following him, so he turned his bike and went into an alley.

After riding onto another street, he continued to ponder a question: "Is there any connection between the illusory figure and Gu Chengliang?"

In that building, Gu Chengliang was someone he disliked at first sight, always trying to pin any bad thing on him.

But he had investigated and found that Gu Chengliang was still not at home tonight.

He wouldn't doubt Chengzi's tracking ability regarding this result, carefully pondering the cause-and-effect relationship here.

From the first time he saw the black cat to entering the Yin Formation, Gu Chengliang's figure had never appeared.

But he still suspected Gu Chengliang because there was no one else to suspect.

He wouldn't suspect Zhang Yong, nor would he suspect Han Xue, and even less would he suspect Chief Engineer Zhang and Teacher Luo. He only knew these few people in that building, so he could only suspect Gu Chengliang.

There's a saying about love at first sight, which refers to young men and women; between people of the same gender, it's all suspicion at first sight, just like him towards Gu Chengliang, and Li Bo towards him, both were suspicious from the get-go.

The difference is that he suspected Gu Chengliang of wanting to do something bad, while Li Bo suspected him? Hmm, also wanting to do something bad, right?

And he did want to 'do something bad'. Arriving at the entrance of this alley, he hid his bicycle in a concealed spot, and walked stealthily to the front of this small courtyard, leaning against the wall to carefully search around. Just as he was about to climb over the wall, he suddenly stopped.

After a moment of contemplation, he extended his right hand to grip the wall, lifted his left foot to push against the wall, then extended his left hand to grip the wall, and lifted his right foot to climb upwards, slowly scaling the three-meter-high wall, gently reaching out to feel a patch of broken glass.

The Hu Feng and Hu Biao brothers were indeed prepared, embedding dense shards of glass on the top of the wall. If he followed his usual habit of jumping over the wall, his hand would definitely press down on the top, and several shards of glass would ruthlessly pierce into the flesh of his palm.

Carefully, Zhou Zhiyuan avoided this strike, and then had to evade the next strike, quietly sliding down instead of jumping down, squatting at the base of the wall to see two rows of nails on wooden boards.

These two brothers calculated quite scientifically, knowing the distance of jumping down from the wall, and also preventing the opponent from performing a rolling maneuver.

The purpose of the two rows of nails was to stab both your feet and your stomach.

Seeing these two defensive measures, Zhou Zhiyuan had to consider the third one. This was a characteristic of the Chinese; things don't stop at two, if there's one, there must be two, and then there must be three. As for whether something would happen, that's another concept.

The third measure might be a trap, or it might be a snare, but whatever it was, he had to calculate the distance.

Imagine this person crossing the top of the wall, his hand pressing on the top, several shards of glass piercing into his hand, letting out a miserable scream of "Ah", but with the momentum, he would jump into the wall.

Carefully calculating the distance, Zhou Zhiyuan used the tiger pounce from the Five Animal Frolics. The instant he pounced out, he quickly transformed into a cat, leaping out five meters and landing lightly.

This move was quite similar to that black cat. In the Yin Formation, the black cat used this move to flick the carbuncle in front of him with one paw.

This movement was very graceful, leaving a deep impression on him. At this time, he unintentionally used this move, and after standing up, he quietly came to the window of the east room and listened carefully.

From the two sounds of breathing, he knew that a man and a woman were lying in the room.

Then he came to the window of the west room, and hearing a sound of breathing, he knew that Hu Biao lived in this room.

Just as he was about to exhale softly, a faint sound of breathing suddenly came from his ear. Zhou Zhiyuan immediately held his breath, then lowered his body and transformed into that black cat again, slowly extending a 'cat paw', slowly moving to the dark corner of the house.

From this faint sound of breathing, Zhou Zhiyuan knew that he had encountered a master. Holding his breath and shrinking into this corner, he remained motionless, and when he saw a figure walking out of the door, he immediately closed his eyes.

His eyes would emit a faint crystalline light in the darkness. Wanting to hide himself, he now had to rely on hearing, using Chengzi to observe him.

He didn't know if he had been exposed, deciding to wait and see.

And that thin figure stood in front of the door, looked left and right, then lifted his feet and walked outwards, came to the door and gently pulled open the latch, and gently pushed open the door and quietly walked out, as the wooden door gently closed, the latch gently slid and re-latched.

Opening his eyes, Zhou Zhiyuan watched this scene, secretly praising, "What a clean technique."

Then he slightly closed his eyes, and the Star Chart showed a thin figure, the direction pointed by the orange thread stopped at the side of this wall, knowing that the thin figure was standing by the wall without moving.

The orange thread had turned into yarn, but he still called it thread. This name always sounded better than yarn, and since the orange thread wasn't moving, Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't move.

The two sides were deadlocked for a while, and the orange thread moved. Zhou Zhiyuan still didn't move, and after a while, he gently exhaled and quietly moved his feet, then changed into the tiger pounce, tiptoeing to the side of the wall and quickly climbing up, jumping down the wall and walking in that direction.

His tracking distance was within a thousand meters. This distance allowed him to continue tracking without seeing the thin figure. When he saw that building, Zhou Zhiyuan discovered that he had come to the Modi Western Restaurant.

After a moment of contemplation, he climbed up the outer wall to the roof of the Modi Western Restaurant, transformed into a black cat and quietly crossed this building, slid down, and then climbed up the rear wing room. Seeing a light below, he looked down, and the figure below was smoking.

There were actually sentries arranged here, and not just one. After passing two sentries, Zhou Zhiyuan lay on the roof of this rear wing room, looking at the large courtyard in front, knowing that he couldn't move anymore.

This large courtyard was formed by merging several courtyards. The south-facing, north-facing three-section courtyard connected several courtyards on the left and right to form a large courtyard. And on its left and right sides, there were also two small three-section courtyards.

If Zhou Zhiyuan wanted to enter that large courtyard, he needed to slide down from this rear wing room, cross this alleyway that was more than ten meters wide. Whether he walked in through the gate, or climbed onto the back building, it would be impossible to follow the thin figure into the main room without being discovered.

After careful calculation, looking at the courtyards on the left and right sides, detouring to enter should be the best way.

Just as he was about to get up, a feeling of unease suddenly sprouted.

Feeling uneasy, he wondered, "What's wrong?"

Then he carefully looked at the courtyards on both sides, but found no abnormalities, so he silently lay on the roof, carefully observing.

The thin figure walked into a main room of this large courtyard, but he could only quietly lie on the roof of the opposite rear wing room. He thought of several ways but had no confidence in sneaking in, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Safe Rest Inn has a very tight defensive layout."

If he didn't want to be discovered, he could only lie here and look for opportunities. An hour later, as the orange thread shot out again, the thin figure left that main room and walked towards a building on the east side.

At this time, he knew that the thin figure wouldn't come out again, and quietly withdrew along the route he came in. He raised his wrist to look at his watch, and the hands pointed to 1:25 AM.

Tonight's reconnaissance allowed him to discover the target. Bai Wenming of the Safe Rest Inn entered his reconnaissance range.

But he couldn't continue his reconnaissance tonight. He returned to that alley to find his bicycle, and it was already past 3 AM when he got home.

Quietly parking his bicycle, Zhou Zhiyuan tiptoed into his house, and at the same time made a decision, "I should move to Master's house." He couldn't always make his parents worry.

Moving to Mo Youji's small courtyard had advantages. It was very close to that large courtyard, making his nighttime reconnaissance convenient.

At breakfast, Zhou Zhiyuan brought up this idea, but Lin Shurong firmly opposed it: "Mom won't ask what you're going to do, but if you can come home, you must come back, even if you come back in the morning, you absolutely can't move out."

This was Lin Shurong's attitude, with no room for negotiation, and it received the firm support of Zhou Dehou.

And Zhou Zhining turned to look at him, and slowly said: "Listen to Mom."

Zhou Zhining made it clear that this was the family's final decision, and he had to obey.

A person in a family has no control over their own body, and a person in a unit also has no control over their own body. Zhou Zhiyuan at home had to obey his parents' decisions and Zhou Zhining's control, and in the unit, he had to obey Han Xue's command, "Zhou Zhiyuan, you go to the Fifteenth Committee."

Hearing this arrangement, he made a suggestion, "Section Chief Han, can I go to the Eleventh Committee?"

The management scope of the Eleventh Committee included the alley where his home was located. If he went to the Eleventh Committee, he could work for Lou Xiao'e.

But Han Xue refused, "The management scope of the Eleventh Committee includes the alley where your home is located. To avoid trouble, you should still recuse yourself."

Han Xue's attitude was also very clear, and he had to obey.

But after Wan Chunfang and Wang Dagang left one after another, Han Xue asked softly, "Is there something going on with your neighbor?"

This was leadership art, "You must execute my arrangements, but I can help you with your affairs."
