When Li Chan and Shijie were relaxing in their hometown in Shanxi, I, Chao, and Wu Nan were squatting in the small courtyard of Sweet Water Garden, rushing to the manuscript bitterly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Shijie is not there, the courtyard is a lot quieter, and there are no evil things. But in just over a week, several major events have happened. One is that a few of us are carrying kitchen knives to collect accounts at night, one is that the small courtyard is surrounded and we are forced to check the shelf, and the other is the first time in my life that I entered the bureau.

I went to collect the accounts because the fishmonger and publisher surnamed Bai was not authentic, and the books were sold all over the market, and the manuscript fee was not settled. Chao went on two trips, and there was no suspense before he met the soldiers. Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, a few of us divided the bottle of two thunders, and one of us went on the road with a kitchen knife. I think that He Laoshuai's two kitchen knives made a revolution back then, and now we have three, Wu Nan also carried a wooden gun from the school, took a bag of cloth, and matched him with a horizontal face, which was very bluffing. Sure enough, my missing thick-backed kitchen knife was thrown on the white fishmonger's table, and he was immediately relieved and obediently counted the money.

Two days later, in the afternoon, I was talking to Haidian when I suddenly received a paging from Chao, and the phone called to know that the small courtyard was surrounded by a group of people. Fa Xiao'er Xiaofan was with me, and we copied two machetes from his house and went over. When I arrived at the small courtyard, I found that the courtyard door had been smashed open, and there were seven or eight gangsters inside, all with guys. didn't dare to enter, and Xiaofan looked for a place, paging again, and on the phone, seven people gathered at five o'clock, and returned to the courtyard with Ah Chao.

As soon as the two people gathered, I stepped forward and said. I thought it was the white fishmonger who didn't have a part in his heart, and the person who called him was looking for revenge, but when he asked, he knew that it wasn't like that. The leader's surname is Zhang, and he is also a bookseller on Jintai Road, but he doesn't know each other. The surnamed Zhang said that Shijie received him an advance payment of 20,000 yuan for the manuscript, but did not pay the manuscript on time, told him that the money was given to me, and asked him to ask me. This is really out of thin air, and I was unlucky enough to raise my head and open my mouth, and I had no place to reason. The crowd of onlookers immediately turned their guns and persuaded me to keep my promise. I was so angry that I was about to do it at that time, and at this time, Pian Er policeman Liu appeared at the gate of the courtyard with a few policemen.

I was taken to the police station and detained that night because of my bad attitude. After a night of hard persuasion, I finally agreed to settle on the premise that he promised not to notify the school. The so-called reconciliation means that I lose money, and if I can't afford to lose, I will use the sketch to offset it. When I left the police station, police officer Liu patted me on the shoulder and said, Zhang Shushang is the head snake in this land, really do it, our group of students are not the same as Ben, and there are people above them, bear with me.

In order for us to fulfill our promises, Liu Chang, a police officer in the courtyard, supervised our drawings, and later, he also brought some cigarettes, alcohol, and side dishes with us in the courtyard, and became a good friend for the New Year. At that time, the film policeman Liu was thirty-three or four-year-old, his life was a little negative, he couldn't hold back his gossip, and he was a typical angry youth. But he was born here, grew up here, and couldn't be more familiar with Sweetwater Garden. From him, I learned about the Sweetwater Garden, the past and present life of our small courtyard.

Liu's grandfather was a patrol officer in this area during the Republic of China, and at that time, the city wall of Beijing was towering, and the nine gates were always open. Sweet Water Garden is a saline-alkali land, and it is not possible to plant anything. The origin of the name Sweet Water Garden is because there is only one sweet water well here, and in other places, no matter how deep the well is, it is also bitter water. As a result, this area has become a shed area and mass grave for the homeless. And some thieves who robbed houses and houses gathered here, took flowers and abducted people, and flew big households to sell stolen goods and became the main business here. People are messy, and in the past hundred years, strange cases have emerged one after another. Like Jia San, a flower thief who can run on the wires, Liu Daoist who can create illusions, charm people's minds, and deceive people of money, and the thief Yu Qian, who can control the size and length of his body, and the thief who enters and exits through the crack of the door, etc., can be regarded as an era of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. After liberation, these lines were almost beaten, but the gods, ghosts, demons and foxes were rampant.

According to Liu, the police officer of Pian'er, the two alleys to the north of our courtyard are the famous Black Light Lane. The street lamps in an alley are newly replaced, at most one day, all of them are suffocated, and they are the same as many times they have been made. In the early 80s, some leaders did not believe in evil and thought that it was the problem of aging lines, so they specially connected a special line from the main cable. As a result, when the ribbon was cut, the street lamp was turned on, and the people under the lamp had two shadows, one in front and one behind, and the movements of the shadows were not the same, the former one was standing, the latter was squatting, the first one was facing east, and the latter was facing west. The wiring electrician was so frightened that he fainted, and then the lights were all choked, and the entire outward power was cut off, and after that, no one thought of repairing the street lights.

There are three alleys in the south of our yard, and there is a big courtyard called Jing Zhaizi. The high wall is forested, and the big bluestone is more than three meters high, and the wall is still thick. Ordinary people through the wall, are bricks and horizontal paving, but the wall bricks of the well house are vertical, like a well platform, I don't know what it is for, the key is that there is no door on all sides of this house, and it is fully enclosed, usually no one enters and exits, and cats and dogs are all around, but every fifth and tenth of the first month, there is always the sound of feasting in the courtyard. There was a good thing to pick up the wall, saying that there was nothing in it, a piece of wild grass, but there were a lot of white sheets hanging on the trees in the courtyard, layer upon layer, I don't know how much.

What impressed me the most when the police officer Liu chatted was the Lost Soul Lane incident that happened in our alley in 87 years. It was our yard and then went inside, and when it was almost over, there lived a family of workers in the locomotive depot surnamed Wang. Usually, idle, love to raise flowers. There were two pots of Junzi Orchid, which was a rarity at the time, and they were put in the courtyard in the middle of the night to gnaw on something. Lao Wang was distressed, so he got off the trap at night. The next day, a large hedgehog was caught, and the needles were more than two inches long. The neighbor persuaded him to let it go, after all, he was a fairy of the earth, he had aura, and it was ominous to kill. But Lao Wang was angry in his heart, so he didn't care about this, and stewed the hedgehog skin. That night, Lao Wang's mouth and eyes were crooked, foaming at the mouth, and he was about to die when he saw people. The family was frightened and dragged him to the hospital with a flatbed tricycle.

Out of the courtyard gate, into the alley, that day there was a wind, blowing the sand blind, just against the wind to push the cart forward. Usually it only takes five minutes to walk to the entrance of the alley, but this time I walked for half an hour before I arrived. The family was frightened, began to look at the house number one by one, every day to walk the road can go wrong? look at the door number is even more bad, walking, the house number is getting bigger and bigger, have to go the other way, walk for a while, the house number began to go bigger and bigger, such as the three, everyone is exhausted, Lao Wang also saw that it can't be done. Everyone was crying and wiping away tears, when suddenly a strong wind blew, blowing sand a few feet, and the surroundings were pitch black. When the wind passed, everyone realized that the three wheelers had stopped in the middle of the road. But when Wang arrived at the hospital, it was already cold, and the hospital concluded that it was food poisoning. Shortly after graduating from the police academy, he followed a master, an old criminal investigator, and looked at Lao Wang's corpse, as if he had been pricked by a small needle, and the needle holes all turned black and purple, which made people shudder. The old criminal investigator has never seen this death, and there is no clue, and Lao Wang's death has become an unsolved case. The eight immortals of the earth, the ghost hitting the wall or something, I have heard it before, it can come out of the mouth of the police officer Liu, it is so sacred and real that you can't believe it. Chao and I felt more and more that the courtyard of Sweet Water Garden was terrifyingly calm, and even the two jujube trees seemed to have become essences, and they were dangling back and forth in front of us as soon as we returned to the courtyard.

I talked a lot with the police officer Liu, and I told him about the strange things we encountered in the hospital, but he seemed to know these things for a long time, and he was not surprised, nor did he open his mouth, which was completely different from the usual nosy him, I don't know why, so I won't ask anymore. Finally, one day he persuaded me that it was better to move, not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves worrying, and there was always something hanging in my heart, which was not a way in the end. At that time, I caught up with Shijie and trapped a few of our brothers, and I was mentally worried about the three-headed things under his bed, and as soon as everyone discussed, they drew a clear line with Shijie, and with the help of the police Liu, they moved to Tuanjie Lake.
