Even those who were utterly confused could now see the trickery involved, and dozens of eyes stared intently at Sha Zhu!
Xu Damao folded his arms across his chest and said with a smile, "Heh, Sha Zhu, why don't you report it? This is a serious crime. As soon as you report it, I'll be done for. What are you waiting for?"
Facing Xu Damao's questioning, Sha Zhu hung his head, not saying a word, lost in thought. His previous arrogant demeanor had vanished, and he now looked like a coward!
Sha Zhu was indeed cowardly, but Xu Damao was no longer the same Xu Damao. It was now the winter of 1965, and the Spring Festival was approaching. There was at most half a year before the winds of change would begin to blow, and this was Xu Damao's best chance to escape!
"Hiss… If you don't report it, I will!"
Xu Damao endured the pain in his body and walked out of the Courtyard without hesitation. Feeling the current state of this body, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh: How could a dignified good man transmigrate into Xu Damao, this infertile man? This body is so weak!
"Don't go… Quick… Quick, stop him!!!" Someone shouted, and the Courtyard immediately turned into a chaotic mess, people frantically rushing forward to try and stop Xu Damao.
But how could Xu Damao, whose core had already changed, be stopped by these mortals? In an instant, Xu Damao's figure disappeared!
…
The staggering Xu Damao walked down the dimly lit street, silently checking the system's information!
"Ding… Detecting unknown Plane Core, system is integrating…"
"Ding… Detecting unknown Plane as a technology Plane, some Spirit Realm functions have been locked!"
"Ding… Detecting host as a mortal body, please proceed to the Spirit Realm to awaken Spirit as soon as possible!"
After processing the system's information, a smile appeared on Xu Damao's horse-like face.
This transmigration was slightly simpler than originally anticipated, and Xu Damao also understood the main system's power.
Although most of the Spirit Realm's functions were locked and unusable, the Spirit Realm's storage function could still be used. The biggest difference was that the central area of the Spirit Realm was no longer accessible.
However, the system still granted Xu Damao an extremely large territory, complete with farmland, mountains, grasslands, oceans, rivers, and everything else. The time flow rate still reached a hundredfold!
It was just that this territory did not allow Spirit Beasts to enter, but Xu Damao was already very satisfied. This was essentially a QQ farm!
In this era of scarcity, Xu Damao no longer had any worries about survival!
Aside from the storage function, all core functions of the Spirit Realm were unusable. Fortunately, the Spirit Realm's warehouse already met all of Xu Damao's needs.
The sky grew darker and darker. Xu Damao simply organized the information left by the system and did not immediately return to the Spirit Realm to awaken Spirit. Instead, he dragged his crippled body and quickly went to the nearest police station to report the case.
Despite transmigrating into the crippled Xu Damao, Lin Chen was still very happy. With foreknowledge, Xu Damao was destined for a life of wealth!
Recalling memories, a few days ago, the original Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies and brought back two old hens. Chickens were precious in those days, especially hens, which were good for laying eggs. Xu Damao, like everyone else, made this choice.
Who knew that Bang Geng, the thief of the Courtyard, stole one? In the end, Sha Zhu foolishly took the blame and paid five yuan to settle the matter.
Although five yuan for one chicken was a bit expensive, it was an old hen. The benefits created by a chicken laying eggs far exceeded five yuan.
Even though Sha Zhu paid the money, he held a grudge against Xu Damao and waited for an opportunity to retaliate.
Until yesterday afternoon, sure enough, the opportunity arose. There was a leader inspecting, and Xu Damao, as a projectionist, relied on his thick skin to eat with the leader.
After the event, a drunken Xu Damao was ambushed by Sha Zhu. Not only was he beaten, but he was also tied up hand and foot and thrown into the back kitchen of the cafeteria. One must know that it was winter then, and it was already a miracle that Xu Damao's small body hadn't frozen to death.
What's more, Sha Zhu even burned Xu Damao's underwear!
The original body woke up this morning, completely unaware of what happened last night. When he saw himself tied up and his underwear missing, he quickly struggled free and ran home to change clothes!
The missing underwear eventually couldn't be hidden, and his wife, Lou Xiao'e, discovered it, leading to a big quarrel. She was convinced that Xu Damao had been fooling around with other women last night!
Their quarrel also attracted neighbors, including Sha Zhu!
After Sha Zhu fanned the flames and spread rumors, the scene that Lin Chen transmigrated into came to be!
Lin Chen had naturally watched the famous drama "Full of Qin in the Siheyuan (Courtyard)". Xu Damao was a major supporting character in the drama, and also a true villain.
Calling him a villain was only from the perspective of the 1960s and 70s!
If a person like Xu Damao were placed in later generations, he could at most be called an egoist, because he simply didn't do anything heinous.
Egoism was widespread in later generations, but in that era, it was somewhat unconventional.
(The author does not whitewash, only objectively states!)
In those days, the emphasis was on unity and friendship, respecting the old and loving the young, mutual help, and selfless dedication!!!!
As for what the Deaf Old Lady called him, a bad seed, that was even less true. Objectively speaking, Xu Damao never harmed anyone!
The only one he truly fought to the death with in the drama was Sha Zhu, who was truly a pair of joyful enemies!
As for reporting Lou Xiao'e?
Hehehe!!!!
In that era, that was called political correctness!!!! (Emphasize!)
Moreover, Xu Damao had already held back initially. He had thought that since they were husband and wife, they should part ways amicably, but he never expected Lou Xiao'e to fall into the Deaf Old Lady's trap and get together with Sha Zhu.
Who was Sha Zhu?
Xu Damao's sworn enemy!
His ex-wife was going to marry his most hated sworn enemy. Wasn't Lou Xiao'e just asking for trouble!!!!
If you don't report her, who do you report?
As for the local specialties Xu Damao brought back from his trips to the countryside, that was even less of an issue. In those days, the saying was to live off the land and the water!
Have you not seen Sha Zhu's lunchbox?
Have you not seen Yan Bugui's notebooks and pens?
Have you not seen the screws and scrap iron of the fitters and blacksmiths?
If Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies and didn't eat, drink, or take anything, the village chief and villagers would worry, worrying whether Xu Damao would wholeheartedly show the movies!
The same logic applied to Sha Zhu's lunchbox. If Sha Zhu didn't take anything, would those leaders dare to eat it?!
As for Xu Damao hooking up with widows when he went to the countryside?
That's even more nonsensical!
One must know the environment of that era. Were those widows foolish?
Were the villagers foolish?
Try hooking up with one, and if she doesn't get you divorced and extort you into bankruptcy, she's not a widow.
Widows were the smartest. Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were perfect examples.
Was Sha Zhu really foolish?
No!!! Sha Zhu was not foolish at all; he was very clever. But no matter how clever, he still fell into the hands of the Qin Widow.
Even Dorgon couldn't handle widows; what was Sha Zhu compared to that!
