Chapter 713: Sha Zhu

Red Star Courtyard

Just as Cao Cao Weiguo was upholding justice, Bang Geng also launched a revenge operation.

Bang Geng, who had taken medicine and eaten his fill, was already jumping around, and the first thing he did upon returning to the social scene was to take revenge on Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu, you actually dared to feed me shit!

Regardless of whether it was Sha Zhu who fed him feces soup or not, Bang Geng hated Sha Zhu in his heart, and he also hated Cao Cao Weiguo who came up with the idea.

He hadn't had a chance to take revenge on Cao Cao Weiguo yet, so he would start with Sha Zhu.

"Ouch!"

"Pfft!"

"Ah! Help!"

Seeing Shazhu, who was relieving himself in the latrine, was shoved by Bang Geng. His body lurched forward, the wooden planks shattered, and he plunged straight into the cesspit, splashing up a foul storm of wind and excrement...

One can imagine the state of a summer latrine. Seeing Shazhu was deep in the muck, and as he thrashed about, white maggots even got into his mouth, disgusting him to the point of death.

"Help! Help!"

Seeing Shazhu screamed at the top of his lungs, quickly alerting the neighbors.

"Seeing Shazhu fell into the cesspit again!"

"Someone come quickly!"

"Seeing Shazhu fell into the cesspit again!"

An old man exclaimed, and the neighbors who were at home rushed over.

Second Aunt: "Seeing Shazhu isn't that old, and he doesn't have senile dementia, so why does he keep jumping into the cesspit?"

Third Aunt curled her lip: "I think he's just greedy. Since he can't steal food from the canteen anymore, he's set his sights on the manure. He's stealing fertilizer and fleecing the collective."

In this era, manure was also collective property and a fertilizer that farmers fought over; some even brawled over it. Seeing Shazhu eating several mouthfuls definitely counted as wasting collective property.

First Aunt was so anxious she was hopping mad: "Everyone, hurry and save him! This cesspit is several meters deep. If we don't save Sha Zhuzi now, he's going to drown."

The neighborhood committee aunt hurriedly organized: "Xiao Li, Xiao Zhou, Xiao Wang, you go find a rope. Everyone, let's pull Comrade Seeing Shazhu up together."

Because it was broad daylight and there were plenty of hands, Seeing Shazhu was pulled out of the cesspit before long. He lay in the latrine, retching violently, with maggots crawling all over his hair and body. This disgusted the neighbors so much that they fled the public toilet one after another, and some even started vomiting outside.

The neighborhood committee aunt covered her nose and asked: "Seeing Shazhu, how did you fall into the cesspit in broad daylight?"

Seeing Shazhu's eyes were red as he said: "I was peeing, and I don't know which bastard pushed me. Let me find him, and I'll tear him apart alive!"

Neighborhood committee aunt: "You didn't see who it was?"

Seeing Shazhu said bitterly: "No, that bastard ran too fast, and the cesspit was too deep."

Neighborhood committee aunt: "Sigh, maybe you offended someone and they're taking revenge on you. You should be more careful yourself and stop offending people. Alright, hurry up and clean the toilet, then go take a bath. Ugh, you smell terrible."

After saying this, the neighborhood committee aunt fled the public toilet, leaving Seeing Shazhu lying on the ground, continuing to vomit...

In the end, it was First Aunt who, enduring the disgust, brought several buckets of water from the courtyard for Seeing Shazhu to rinse off in the toilet; otherwise, the entire alley would have been stunk up by Seeing Shazhu.

Bang Geng stood at his doorway, watching Seeing Shazhu's bedraggled, stinking, pathetic state, and was overjoyed: "Stupid Seeing Shazhu! You made me eat shit, so I'll let you eat your fill too!"

Seeing Shazhu stood by the faucet in the backyard, drawing bucket after bucket of water, pouring it over his head. Even though he was shivering from the shock, he didn't stop. Thinking of those dense swarms of maggots made him feel sick to his stomach; he felt as if he were unclean from the inside out.

"Sha Zhuzi, that's enough. You can't smell the stench on you anymore. Don't keep pouring cold water on yourself, you'll catch a cold." Deaf Old Lady advised with some heartache, but Seeing Shazhu turned a deaf ear, continuing to do as he pleased, pouring bucket after bucket over his body.

Deaf Old Lady grew anxious and poked Seeing Shazhu hard with her cane: "Sha Zhuzi, stop it! You cannot keep pouring cold water on yourself."

Seeing Shazhu grabbed the bucket with tear-filled eyes and cried out: "Wuwuwu... Old Lady, I'm not clean anymore. I feel awful. I feel like maggots are crawling all over me."

Deaf Old Lady said angrily: "A man doesn't shed tears easily; what kind of look is it for a grown man to be crying and wailing? I know you feel bad, but the old saying goes: settle grievances with grievances, and settle debts with debts. You shouldn't be so spineless as to abuse yourself; you should find that beast who pushed you into the cesspit and seek justice."

Actually, Deaf Old Lady didn't want Seeing Shazhu to cause more trouble, but she couldn't bear to watch him abuse himself in such despair, so she simply used reverse psychology to stir up resentment in Seeing Shazhu and shift his focus elsewhere.

Hearing Deaf Old Lady's words, Seeing Shazhu's eyes turned red, and he threw the bucket to the ground in anger: "Old Lady, you're right. Every debt has a debtor. I absolutely cannot let that villain who ambushed me get away. I'm going to look for them right now. People are coming and going in the alley; I don't believe no one saw the person who ambushed me. I'll dig three feet into the ground to find him."

Seeing Shazhu went back to his room to change his clothes, then stormed through the alley, grabbing people to ask.

"Old man, did you see anyone running out of the public toilet in a hurry this morning?"

"Auntie, did you see any suspicious person coming out of the public toilet?"

"Sister..."

In the alley, Seeing Shazhu was drenched in sweat. Even though the weather was hot, he didn't give up. His overflowing hatred provided him with a constant source of motivation; he would rather be sun-scorched to death than fail to find the person who pushed him into the cesspit.

During this time, he had suspected his arch-rival Xu Xu Damao and Cao Wei, but during the time he was pushed into the cesspit, both of them had gone to work and were not in the alley at all.

"Seeing Shazhu, I saw someone run out of the public toilet, and the time that person ran out was exactly when you fell into the cesspit. Do you want to know who it was?"

Just as Seeing Shazhu was at his wit's end, his eyes bloodshot, Li He walked over with a vegetable basket, smiling.

Hearing Li He's words, Seeing Shazhu's eyes turned red: "Who is it!"

Li He smiled: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to know, you can, but pay me five Brother Yuan, and I'll tell you immediately."

Seeing Shazhu widened his bull-like eyes: "You little brat, you want to take advantage of me while I'm down? Do you know who I am? Are you going to say it or not? If you don't, don't blame my fists for not recognizing you!"

Li He sneered and stuck his head forward: "Seeing Shazhu, you're still acting tough at a time like this? Want to hit someone? Fine, go ahead and hit me in the head. If you don't hit me, you're not a man! Come on, hit me!"

Seeing Shazhu's face turned red and his neck thick. He raised his hand to strike, but he couldn't bring it down.

He wasn't actually stupid.

The neighbors in the alley were watching; if he dared to hit someone, there was no telling how Li He would extort him afterward.

Seeing Seeing Shazhu staring with wide eyes but not daring to move, Li He said with a face full of mockery: "Seeing Shazhu, aren't you supposed to be tough? Why aren't you hitting me? Scared? You useless piece of trash! You deserve to be played for a fool! You deserve to be pushed into the cesspit to eat shit!"

Seeing Shazhu was furious. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth: "Li He! Isn't it just money you want! Just you wait!"

Turning around and walking back into the courtyard, Seeing Shazhu borrowed five Brother Yuan from Deaf Old Lady.

"Speak! Who is that person! If you dare to lie to me, I'll break one of your legs even if it means going to jail!"

Seeing Shazhu threw the money at Li He and demanded with a ferocious expression.

Li He tucked the money into his pocket and smirked: "Don't worry, I, Li He, have a bottom line when I do things. Even if I were poor, I wouldn't lie to a fool. It's just that even if I tell you who it is, you won't be able to do anything to him."

Seeing Shazhu clenched his fists so hard his fingernails pierced his palms: "Tell me who that person is!"

Li He laughed: "That person is Bang Geng."

"Boom!"

Seeing Shazhu felt as if he had been struck on the head by a bolt of lightning.

He had racked his brains, but he never thought it would be Bang Geng!

But after Li He said Bang Geng's name, he didn't have a shred of doubt in his heart.

"Hahaha... Seeing Shazhu, how about that? You! You really are a Seeing Shazhu! A useless piece of trash who acts as a stooge! Just swallow this grievance yourself." Looking at the stunned Seeing Shazhu, Li He felt incredibly satisfied.

Li He was younger than Seeing Shazhu, but they didn't get along, and the root cause was Bang Geng.

A few years ago, Bang Geng stole garlic from his house, and he caught Bang Geng and gave him a beating. Afterward, Seeing Shazhu blocked him in the alley and beat him up to vent for Bang Geng.

At that time, he was only fifteen; how could he beat the tall and sturdy Seeing Shazhu?

Ever since then, he had held a grudge against Seeing Shazhu.

Two days ago, Bang Geng bullied his younger brother Li Chuan, and he gave Bang Geng a hit. Seeing Shazhu almost made a move again; if it hadn't been for First Aunt stopping him, he would have had to deal with this fool Seeing Shazhu.

Now it was even better!

Seeing Shazhu had been pushed into the cesspit by Bang Geng, staging a scene of dogs biting dogs.

He was extremely happy!
