Chapter 1138 Pale and Thin
The man took off his tattered straw hat, revealing a pale and thin face.
His eyes were cold and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Who are you? And why are you sneaking around the yard?"
He Yudong asked in a deep voice, with a hint of oppression in his tone.
The man did not answer, but smiled sinisterly, then took out a shining dagger from his arms.
"Boy, you ruined my good deeds. Today I will make you pay the price!"
The man said viciously, raised the dagger and stabbed towards He Yudong.
He Yudong was shocked. He didn't expect that this man actually carried a weapon with him.
He quickly dodged and barely avoided the knife.
The dagger passed by his clothes, tearing his coat and his skin, and a trace of blood seeped out.
He Yudong was burning with anger. This bastard actually dared to use a knife!
He no longer hesitated, rushed forward, grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it hard.
With a crisp "crack" sound, the man's wrist was broken by He Yudong.
The man let out a shrill scream and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.
He Yudong took advantage of the situation and kicked the man in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
He took a step forward, stepped on the man's chest, and looked down at him with eyes as cold as a knife.
The man seemed to realize that he was exposed, and turned around in a hurry and quickly left the yard.
He Yudong narrowed his eyes, feeling even more confused.
This person's behavior is so suspicious, what is his purpose?
Is it seasonal?
A feeling of uneasiness spread in He Yudong's heart.
He always felt like something was going to happen.
He closed the window, went back into the house, and began to think of a solution.
In this day and age, people’s minds are unpredictable and no one knows what will happen in the next second.
It's always good to be cautious.
He walked to the bed and pulled out a rusty kitchen knife from under the pillow.
He took this from the kitchen. Although it was a bit worn out, it was better than having nothing to do with.
Holding the kitchen knife, He Yudong felt a little more at ease.
In this age full of unknowns, having a weapon in hand can give him a sense of security.
He walked to the door, opened it gently and looked out.
The yard was still quiet, the children were still playing, and the adults were still chatting, as if the sneaky figure just now was just his illusion.
He Yudong hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go out and take a look.
He wanted to see what that guy was trying to do.
He quietly walked out of the house and walked along the wall in the direction the man left.
The layout of the courtyard was intricate and the alleys were winding. He Yudong moved forward carefully, trying not to make any noise.
He walked past a row of low bungalows, through a narrow alley, and came to the back door of the courtyard.
Outside the back door was a desolate path with weeds growing on both sides, looking bleak.
He Yudong looked around but did not see the suspicious figure.
"Am I being too suspicious?"
He Yudong thought to himself.
Just then, he suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from not far away.
He Yudong's heart trembled, and he quickly hid behind a big tree, holding his breath and listening carefully.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and seemed to be coming towards him.
He Yudong clenched the kitchen knife in his hand, his heart beat faster and his palms sweated slightly.
He stuck his head out and looked cautiously in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw a figure walking out from the corner, it was the sneaky guy just now!
The man was still wearing the tattered straw hat, with his head down, walking quickly forward, seemingly not noticing He Yudong's presence.
He Yudong was confused. What on earth was this kid trying to do by being so sneaky?
He decided to continue following him to see what this guy was up to.
He followed the man quietly, keeping a certain distance to avoid being discovered.
The man walked along the path, crossed a wasteland, and came to a high wall.
He Yudong hid behind a bush and observed the man's actions.
The man walked to the corner of the wall, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he took out a small shovel from his arms and started digging the corner!
He Yudong's eyes widened, and he cursed in his heart: "Good boy, you turned out to be a thief who stole chickens and dogs!"
He was just about to rush out and catch the guy red-handed when suddenly, a muffled sound came from the corner of the wall, and the man seemed to have dug up something.
The man excitedly threw the shovel aside, dug up the soil with his hands, and took out a package from the corner of the wall.
The package was wrapped in a piece of rag and was bulging. No one knew what was inside.
The man carefully opened the package, revealing its contents.
He Yudong took a closer look and immediately took a breath of cold air.
Inside the package, there were stacks of brand new solidarity!
The man quickly lowered his head, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
He Yudong frowned, feeling even more confused.
The look in this man's eyes made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
He had a strong intuition that this person had some connection with him, and it was probably not a good thing.
"Is it coming for me?"
He Yudong thought to himself.
Since he got the golden finger, his life has changed dramatically. Although it seems calm on the surface, who knows how many eyes are watching him secretly?
Jealousy, greed, and the dark side of human nature are infinitely magnified in this era.
He closed the window and paced back and forth in the room, trying hard to recall the appearance of the man just now, trying to find a matching figure in his memory.
However, apart from those sinister eyes, other impressions are very vague.
"Damn it, you're playing tricks on me, don't let me catch you!"
He Yudong cursed fiercely, his heart filled with annoyance.
This feeling of being secretly watched made him very uncomfortable.
He walked to the table, picked up an apple, and took a big bite. The crunching sound of the chewing seemed to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Yudong, what are you doing in the room? Who are you talking to?"
Sha Zhu's voice came from outside the door.
He Yudong quickly opened the door and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm not talking to anyone, I'm just talking to myself. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Sha Zhu came in with a bowl of steaming chicken soup and said, "I just made some chicken soup to nourish you."
He Yudong took the chicken soup, smelled its rich aroma, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He always remembers the kindness that Sha Zhu showed him.
"Brother, you should drink some too."
He Yudong said.
Sha Zhu waved his hand, "I don't need it, you drink it. You are in good health, you need to replenish yourself."
He Yudong no longer refused, picked up the bowl and started drinking in big gulps.
The delicious chicken soup made him temporarily forget the unpleasantness just now.
"Brother, how are you doing in the factory lately?"
He Yudong asked.
"It's still the same. I'm busy working in the cafeteria."
Sha Zhu sighed, "However, things seem to be a bit unsettled at the factory lately. I heard they're going to lay off some employees."
He Yudong had an idea: layoffs?
This is big news.
In this era, losing your job means losing everything.
"Layoffs? What's going on?"
He Yudong asked quickly.
"I don't know the details, I just heard it from others. It seems that the factory is not doing well and they want to reduce staff."
Sha Zhu said, "But don't worry, your work should not be affected."
He Yudong nodded, but began to think in his mind.
Layoffs may be an opportunity for him.
An opportunity to use your golden finger to show your talents.
He finished his chicken soup, handed the bowl to Sha Zhu, and said, "Brother, I want to go out for a walk."
Sha Zhu nodded, "Go ahead, it's good to go out and relax."
He Yudong walked out of the house and came to the yard.
He did not wander around aimlessly, but walked in the direction where the sneaky figure had disappeared.
He wanted to see who this person was and what his purpose was.
He walked along the alley, turned a few corners, and came to a secluded alley.
The alley was narrow, with high walls on both sides, the light was dim, and the air was filled with a damp smell.
Suddenly, he heard a sound of footsteps coming from deep in the alley.
The man quickly lowered his head, turned and left the yard.
He Yudong became even more confused. What was the purpose of this sneaky behavior?
He decided to wait and see. If that person came again, he would make sure to find out where he came from.
Putting aside his doubts, He Yudong closed the window again and returned to the table.
He opened the system panel and checked his properties.
After a few days of recuperation, his physical fitness has recovered a lot, but it is still far from its peak state.
"It seems that we have to keep working hard."
He Yudong muttered to himself.
At this time, Sha Zhu came in with a plate of fragrant braised pork and said with a smile: "Yudong, are you starving? Come and try my cooking!"
When He Yudong smelled the aroma of meat, his appetite immediately aroused. He quickly stood up, took the plate, and started eating in big mouthfuls.
The braised pork made by Sha Zhu is fat but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and is simply a delicacy.
"Brother, your skills are getting better and better!"
He Yudong praised as he ate.
Sha Zhu smiled smugly and said, "Of course! Look whose brother he is!"
The two brothers ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Sha Zhu asked about He Yudong's physical condition with concern, and told him to pay more attention to rest and not to overwork himself in the future.
He Yudong felt warm in his heart because of his brother's care.
He secretly made up his mind to become strong as soon as possible, protect his family and not let anyone bully them.
After dinner, He Yudong returned to his room and began to think about how to make money using the golden finger.
He knew that in this era, money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done.
He opened the system mall and browsed through the wide variety of products.
Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a product - "universal translator".
"With this, wouldn't it be possible to..."
He Yudong's heart moved, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.
In the next few days, He Yudong stayed at home and devoted himself to studying the various products in the system mall.
He discovered that this system mall was simply a treasure trove. It contained everything you could think of. There was nothing you couldn't find.
In addition to the "universal translator", he also discovered some other good things, such as the "super learning machine", "space folding backpack" and so on.
