Chapter 108 Scenery
While Sha Zhu was busy and having a great time in the kitchen,
Located at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, in the courtyard house, in the main room where Sha Zhu originally lived,
A weathered wooden door was gently pushed open a crack from the inside, and then the entire door slowly opened.
A young woman, carrying a chamber pot, staggered across the threshold.
Her eyes were still somewhat hazy, and her head was shaking slightly from time to time, clearly not fully awake from her sleep.
She had only taken a few steps out of her house when a pungent stench suddenly assaulted her senses, instantly waking her up.
He quickly covered his mouth and nose with his other hand, and stared wide-eyed, searching for the source of the stench.
At this time, it was still dark and visibility was poor. They could only vaguely make out the path to the outside world by relying on their daily memories.
As the woman walked through the passageway between the left and right wing rooms, even when she covered her nose tightly with her arm, she could not completely block out the increasingly strong stench.
She felt as if she were being gradually enveloped by this stench.
The woman covered her mouth and nose with one hand while her eyes widened as she nervously glanced around at the houses on either side of the Jia and Yi families' residences.
They noticed some unusual objects under the doors and windows, quite different from what they usually saw.
Her heart was filled with doubt and fear. Usually, she was hesitant because of the old shrew in the Jia family. She unconsciously took a few steps closer to Yi Zhonghai's house, convinced that she was not mistaken and that there was indeed something strange at the door.
Moreover, the stench grew stronger as she approached.
When she finally arrived at Yi Zhonghai's house, she took a closer look and couldn't help but scream, the sound echoing in the courtyard.
The woman was so frightened that she dropped the chamber pot she was holding and turned to run frantically towards her house.
However, the woman was not a coward; her scream was merely a result of being startled by the sudden sight before her.
She stopped after running two steps, turned around, picked up the chamber pot that had fallen, and with trembling hands, carefully walked step by step back into her room.
She quickened her pace after leaving Yi Zhonghai's house, hurried back to her own home, and then slammed the door shut.
Although the woman was not very brave, she knew how difficult Jia Zhangshi, that shrew, was to deal with, and she also knew to go to Yi Zhonghai's house to check the situation.
This may indicate that Yi Zhonghai usually hides his true intentions too well, making him difficult to understand.
After closing the door, she took a few deep breaths and hurriedly went back inside to wake her husband.
Thinking back to when I chose the main house of this courtyard house, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
What kind of place is this? There's an old woman in the neighborhood who throws tantrums, the whole courtyard is either suffering from diarrhea or there are all sorts of disgusting sights, not to mention there are enemy agents living here.
"How can anyone live in such a place?" The woman slapped her cheeks in regret and went to find her husband with a mournful face.
At the same time, as the woman's screams echoed through the night sky, the once quiet courtyard suddenly became noisy.
At this time, most women have already gotten up to empty the chamber pot and then go home to make breakfast for their families.
Upon hearing the noise, they all opened the door to check what was happening and walked towards the direction from which the sound came.
At this time, the people inside the Jia family's house were still fast asleep.
The gate of courtyard No. 93, next to courtyard No. 95, was slowly opened from the inside.
The toilet next door was shared by several courtyards. A woman in her thirties or forties came out carrying a chamber pot.
The scream that came from courtyard number 95 just now startled the woman.
It was a bit far away, so by the time it reached her, the sound had faded considerably. The woman didn't take it seriously, just muttered "crazy" under her breath and continued walking towards the toilet.
If Shazhu were here, he would definitely recognize this woman.
The woman's child had mocked rainwater at school and was subsequently hospitalized after Liu Guangtian struck him with a brick.
This woman is Aunt Ma from courtyard number 93, the mother of the child who was photographed entering the hospital.
As Aunt Ma carried the chamber pot closer to the toilet, she felt something shaking high up in front of her.
Because she was carrying a chamber pot in her left hand, she rubbed her eyes vigorously with her right hand, but Aunt Ma didn't stop walking.
By this time, we had arrived next to the toilet. Putting down my right hand that had been rubbing my eyes, I looked carefully up at the sky directly in front of me and saw six pale, white bodies swaying back and forth.
A scream rang out, and she collapsed to the ground, the chamber pot in her hand rolling to the floor, its liquid spilling everywhere.
It's unclear whether Aunt Ma saw six corpses or six ghosts swaying back and forth in the night.
At this time, a faint light was beginning to appear on the distant horizon. If you looked into the alleys or lanes, you could only see complete darkness, unable to see very far.
Aunt Ma looked up at the sky, probably thinking she had seen something unbelievable. Unable to bear it, her mind went blank and she fainted.
People in the nearby courtyard who were about to empty their chamber pots heard the noise coming from the toilet and came over to check what was going on.
At the neighborhood office, a middle-aged man on night shift slowly opened his eyes.
I'm planning to go out and empty the chamber pot, and while I'm at it, see if any breakfast shops are open so I can buy some steamed buns when I get back.
He opened the door, picked up the chamber pot, and walked outside. A gust of cold wind blew in, and he tightened the coat he was wearing, yawning.
His foot struck something hard, tripping him and causing him to fall forward.
His head slammed solidly against the door of the neighborhood committee office.
With a cry of "Ouch!", the middle-aged man fully regained consciousness, and the chamber pot in his hand fell to the ground.
The middle-aged man was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face, and he covered his head with both hands, rubbing it.
Even after the middle-aged man straightened up, he didn't dare to move, afraid that he might kick something again.
After catching his breath, the middle-aged man took a closer look at what he had kicked, wondering which despicable bastard had put something in front of the gate.
A sudden chill ran down my spine. I had closed the door myself yesterday; there shouldn't be anything here.
Even after getting close enough, I couldn't make out what it was. Ignoring the pain in my head,
I quickly went back inside to grab a flashlight and shone it on the object. After seeing what it was,
This startled the middle-aged man, who then hurriedly prepared to go out to find Director Wang of the neighborhood office.
After realizing what had happened, he quickly grabbed the codebooks from the two radios, locked the street office gate from the outside, and ran towards Director Wang's house.
At this moment, Sha Zhu had already warmed the milk and large meat buns in the kitchen steamer.
He put the leftover meat and vegetables from yesterday in the steamer to keep them warm, and then started practicing martial arts in the yard. Despite the slightly chilly weather, Sha Zhu felt warm all over after finishing his practice.
He turned and went into the house, waking up Yushui who was still sleeping on the kang. The little girl ignored Shazhu, mumbled something, and covered her head, trying to continue sleeping.
