Strange Tales of Courtyard House Rules

1. Do not lend Qin Huairu anything, not even a match or half a ladle of water. 2. You must accept the lunchbox that Sha Zhu hands you, but you absolutely must not eat the contents, and certainly not pour it into the slop bucket. 3. If Xu Damao says, "The steel mill is going to go bankrupt," immediately go to the stone table in the central courtyard and hang a red lantern. After hanging it, do not look back. 4. Never enter Yi Zhonghai's house, even if he says, "There is a way out for you inside." 5. After 10 p. M., No matter who calls your name, do not open the back doors or windows—especially if it is Qin Huairu's voice.
