Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 334 A woman is squatting on the ground crying

Sha Zhu came in with a bottle of wine in his hand. He put the wine on the table and said, "Yan Jiecheng, I know you are feeling very uncomfortable now. Come, have a drink with me."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Sha Zhu with mixed feelings. He didn't know what to say, so he just nodded silently.

The two sat opposite each other, drinking one glass after another. The alcohol paralyzed their nerves and made them forget their troubles temporarily.

"Silly Zhu," Yan Jiecheng said vaguely, "Why...why are you helping me?"

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Because we are neighbors. Although we always quarrel, I know that you are not a bad person by nature."

Yan Jiecheng felt even more upset after hearing what Sha Zhu said. He felt that he was a complete failure in life, and even Sha Zhu understood life better than him.

"Silly Zhu," Yan Jiecheng said again, "Am I... am I really useless?"

Sha Zhu patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't say that. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. You just... just have bad luck."

Yan Jiecheng smiled bitterly and said, "Bad luck? Maybe..."

The two continued to drink until late at night before falling asleep. The next morning, when Yan Jiecheng woke up, he found that Sha Zhu had left. There was a note on the table that read: "Yan Jiecheng, cheer up! Life goes on."

Yan Jiecheng looked at the note, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that he had to start over, for himself and for Yu Li. He took a deep breath, walked out of the house, and faced new challenges.

He was walking aimlessly in the alley, when suddenly he saw a familiar figure...

She was standing on the street corner, carrying a simple bag in her hand, looking a little bewildered. Yan Jiecheng's heart tightened. He didn't expect to meet her here. He hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

"Yu Li..." he called softly.

Yu Li heard the voice and turned around. When she saw Yan Jiecheng, a complex expression flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to indifference.

"What are you doing here?" she asked coldly.

Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He wanted to apologize and ask for her forgiveness, but he swallowed the words back. He knew it was too late to say anything now.

"I...I was just passing by." He finally lied.

Yu Li sneered and said, "Passing by? Do you think I will believe it?"

Yan Jiecheng lowered his head, not daring to look Yu Li in the eye.

"Yan Jiecheng," Yu Li's voice suddenly became softer, "We are over, do you understand?"

Yan Jiecheng raised his head and looked at Yu Li, his eyes filled with pain.

"Yu Li, I..."

"Stop talking," Yu Li interrupted him, "I don't want to hear your explanation anymore. Go away and leave me alone."

Yan Jiecheng wanted to say something, but seeing Yu Li's determined eyes, he knew that it was useless for him to say anything. He turned around silently and left.

He walked aimlessly on the street, his heart aching like a knife. He didn't know where to go or what to do. He felt like a lonely ghost, wandering in this world.

Suddenly, he saw a tavern. He hesitated for a moment, but still walked in. He wanted to numb himself with alcohol and forget all the pain.

He ordered a bottle of wine and drank it silently. The anesthesia of alcohol made him forget his troubles temporarily, but also made him more impulsive.

"Boss, another bottle!" he shouted.

The boss looked at him and said, "Young man, drink less. It's not good for your health."

Yan Jiecheng sneered and said, "I know my own body. Mind your own business!"

The boss shook his head, said nothing more, and gave him another bottle of wine.

Yan Jiecheng drank one cup after another and soon got drunk. He began to talk nonsense and say some irrelevant things.

"Yu Li, why did you leave me? What's wrong with me? Can't I change?"

"Silly Zhu, you bastard, why did you want to steal my woman?"

"I hate you, I hate all of you!"

……

The other guests in the tavern looked at him with disdain in their eyes, but Yan Jiecheng didn't care at all and continued to drink and vent his dissatisfaction.

At this time, a man came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? If you have anything that makes you unhappy, you can tell me."

Yan Jiecheng looked up and saw a strange man. He was tall and strong, with a smile on his face, and looked very kind.

Yan Jiecheng hesitated for a moment, but still told the man about his situation. After listening, the man smiled and said, "Brother, you are the one who is in the know. Do you think Yu Li left you because of Sha Zhu? In fact, she left you because of your own problems."

Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "My problem? What's my problem?"

The man said, "You are too weak and have no opinion. You are always led by others and have no ideas of your own. Which woman would like such a man?"

Yan Jiecheng was shocked when he heard the man's words. He thought about it carefully and realized that what the man said was indeed right. He had always lived in the shadow of others and had no opinions of his own. He always followed the arrangements of others and did not dare to resist.

"Then...what should I do?" he asked.

The man smiled and said, "It's very simple. Change yourself. You need to become strong and have your own opinions. Only in this way can you win Yu Li's heart again."

After hearing what the man said, Yan Jiecheng felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. He knew that he had to change and become stronger.

"Thank you, brother," he said gratefully.

The man patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're welcome. I've been there too. Remember what I said, change yourself, and you will have everything you want."

After saying that, the man turned and left. Yan Jiecheng looked at the man's back, his heart filled with gratitude. He felt that he had found his direction and the motivation to start over.

He took a deep breath, stood up and walked out of the bar. He wanted to change himself, he wanted to start over, he wanted to win back Yu Li's love.

He walked on the street with firm steps and hope in his eyes. He didn't know what the future would be like, but he believed that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely gain something.

He passed by an alley and suddenly heard a cry. He walked over curiously and saw a woman squatting on the ground crying. The woman was wearing simple clothes, thin and looked very pitiful.

Yan Jiecheng hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.

The woman looked up and saw Yan Jiecheng. She was stunned for a moment. She wiped her tears and said, "I... I'm fine."

Yan Jiecheng looked at the woman and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

"Are you really okay?" he asked again.
