Chapter 2: The Black and Swollen Face of Xu Damao

One hand supported the body, the other hand covered the head.

Looking around, it took He Yuzhu a while to see clearly that he was lying on the kang in the ear room.
Besides me, there were two little yellow-haired girls with pigtails, short coats and frightened faces sitting on the kang.
Immediately afterwards, two names popped up in his mind: He Yushui and Xu Zhaodi.

"Yushui, Zhaodi, what's going on? Where did the gunshots go?"

He Yuzhu really asked the wrong person this time.

The two little girls were born in 1944 and are only 4 years old now. How can they know so much at such a young age?
"I don't know. Zhaodi and I were just terrified.

Brother, are you feeling better? Does it still hurt? How about I blow on your throat and it will stop hurting."

Seeing He Yushui pretending to blow on him, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel moved. The little girl was obviously very scared, but she still kept her brother's injury in mind.

"Okay, blow the rain water on me, and it will stop hurting me."

“Hoo, hoo!

Are you feeling better, brother? Is the pain gone? "

He Yuzhu was about to answer his naive sister when the door was suddenly pushed open and a figure rushed in,

"Pillar, Pillar, wake up!

Uncle Jia, Uncle Jia was beaten to death by the white dog."

Hearing this panicked voice, He Yuzhu subconsciously thought of the owner of the voice, Xu Damao, his childhood friend.
Just when he was about to ask what the white dog was, and which uncle Jia was beaten to death by the white dog, he saw several very obvious finger marks on his panicked face.

It's like someone has beaten me up.

When Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu half-supporting himself sitting on the kang, he immediately forgot about what happened outside.

She limped to the kang and looked at him excitedly.
"Zhu Zi, you finally woke up. You've been unconscious for the whole morning. I was so worried about you."

After hearing Xu Damao say that he had been unconscious for the whole morning, He Yuzhu temporarily put aside what happened outside and searched Shazhu's memory, but found nothing.
Thinking about my dizziness just now, I knew it might be temporary amnesia caused by a mild concussion.
I didn't care too much.

Instead, he looked at Xu Damao and asked,
"Da Mao, what have you been doing? What's with the finger marks on your face? Who beat you up like this?
Tell me, I will avenge you."

Seeing He Yuzhu asking about the fingerprints on his face as if nothing had happened and vowing to help him get revenge, Xu Damao's doubtful eyes widened.

She stretched out a hand and waved it before his eyes.
"Zhu Zi, I didn't hit you so hard that you became stupid! Have you forgotten? The finger marks on my face were caused by you."

Xu Damao's words revealed a lot of information.

Judging from the plot of "Love in the Courtyard", Sha Zhu's fighting power can be said to be completely defeated by Xu Damao. In addition, he is 3 years older, so it is reasonable for him to slap him a few times.

But now Xu Damao said that he beat Shazhu so hard that he became stupid. It doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.
So He Yuzhu said casually,

"My head hurts, and I can't remember what happened this morning. You mean you knocked me out this morning?
What nonsense are you bragging about? I know what you are capable of.

Can you knock me out?

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Damao nodded complacently.

"It seems you really don't remember.

This morning you pinned me to the ground and beat me. I couldn't get up from your pinning, so I picked up a stone from the ground and hit you on the head.
I knocked you out right there." At this point, Xu Damao pointed at his face, then rolled up his trouser legs and pointed at his limping legs.
"No, look,
These finger marks on my face were left by you, and these on my legs were left by you after you fainted, when my father beat me with a stick in front of Uncle He.

If you don't believe me, just ask Yushui and Zhaodi. They can prove that I'm not lying."

As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, He Yushui immediately yelled at him.
"Brother Damao, you deserve it.
Who told you to hit my brother on the head with a stone? You deserve to be hung on the beam and beaten with a stick by Uncle Xu!"

Although I knew from my sister's words that Sha Zhu was indeed beaten by Xu Damao, but seeing him covered in wounds, but smiling so happily just because he woke up,
He Yuzhu could not say anything except sighing.

"By the way, Damao, why were you so flustered when you ran back just now? You even said something like Uncle Jia was beaten to death by Bai Gouzi. What happened?"

Seeing He Yuzhu asking about this, Xu Damao couldn't help but shudder twice and swallowed.

Then he talked about the whole story.
"The government has been carrying out some kind of gold yuan reform these days, so my dad and his friends agreed to take a day off today and go to the bank to exchange new banknotes.

You also know that we two made a mess in the courtyard this morning.

My father and his friends were delayed in leaving the house.
As a result, they were stopped by the security team Gao Shigui and the head of the security team Wang Mazi not long after they left the courtyard.

It turned out that Gao Shigui and his men had set up a few tables at the entrance of the alley, asking the neighbors to go there to exchange their gold yuan coupons.

Naturally, everyone is not happy to let these white dogs steal their hard-earned money.

While they were arguing, Gao Shigui suddenly became ruthless and shot several people dead, including Jia Dongxu's father.

At this point, Xu Damao patted his head.

"I was so busy visiting you that I forgot about the important things. My father asked me to come back and inform Aunt Zhang and Jia Dongxu to collect Uncle Jia's body."

After listening to Xu Damao's account of what happened, He Yuzhu was not too worried about He Daqing's safety. He had just traveled through time and had not caused any impact at all, so naturally there was no butterfly effect.

"Since Uncle Xu asked you to come back and inform Aunt Zhang, why did you come to me first?"

"I was just worried about you, so I came to see if you were awake."

Seeing that Xu Damao thought and acted in this way, He Yuzhu was very pleased. After all, they were childhood friends who grew up together, and their relationship was beyond words.
So I shook hands with him and made peace.
"I didn't expect that I was so important to you.

Well, if that's the case, then we're even today, and I won't fight with you anymore."

Seeing He Yuzhu suddenly said that he would not fight with him anymore,

Xu Damao still feels a little uncomfortable.

In his impression, He Yuzhu was stupid, he couldn't tell who was his own people, he believed whatever others said, and he was often instigated by others to beat him up.

"Zhu Zi, are you serious? You are not kidding me!"

"Why would I scare you?
Okay, you should go and inform Aunt Zhang first, or Uncle Xu will get to know and beat you up again."

Perhaps what He Yuzhu just said gave Xu Damao confidence. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Damao suddenly curl his lips.
"Pooh!

It was that old man who instigated you to beat me this morning, but I won’t go!”
