"Help! Help! Someone please save me!"

A series of hoarse voices came from Yan Jiecheng's mouth. He had been shouting for half an hour, but he had not received any response. Instead, he had shouted until his throat was hoarse.

"Damn it, where are all these people? Don't you know anyone lives here? I curse you bastards, may your sons be born without an anus, and your daughters be xxx."

Yan Jiecheng was also an oddball; he started cursing because no one was going to save him.

However, this was of no use. After much painful reflection, Yan Jiecheng decided, "If my two legs can't do it, I still have my two hands! Even if I have to crawl, I will crawl back."

So Yan Jiecheng lay on his hands and knees on the ground, crawling forward to move his whole body forward.

"That's a good idea. If I had done this a long time ago, why would I have bothered shouting about it?"

Yan Jiecheng got a little cocky and began to crawl forward.

It only took a few minutes to crawl out of the dog hole. Although it took a lot of effort, I finally made it out!

Yan Jiecheng paused briefly, took a breath, and then began a new round of crawling forward, struggling to climb towards the courtyard.

When he climbed onto the street, it felt like a lifetime had passed. Had he finally made it out?

How far is it to get home?

No matter how far away he was, nothing could stop Yan Jiecheng's determination to return home. He no longer cared about the pitying looks from others and struggled to crawl home.

...

At the entrance of the courtyard house, Sun Zhengguo and Yan Bugui were playing chess.

It has to be said that Sun Zhengguo is really shameless. He harmed someone's son and is still playing chess with him.

However, he was a bit distracted today, constantly thinking about his brother Jie Cheng, and had already lost several games in a row.

"Brother, your playing style is off today! That knight move was a mistake, even I noticed it, how could you not know?"

Sun Zheng'an couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him from the side.

“Zhengan, you don’t understand! This is what they call ‘the bystander sees more of the game than the player.’”

Yan Bugui said smugly.

I managed to win a few games today while the tiger was taking a nap. Did you know how hard that was for me?

As they were talking, Sun Zhengguo lost again. He didn't care, but his younger brother couldn't stand it anymore and volunteered to help.

"Brother, I'll order a few plates, you sit over there and watch."

This suited Sun Zhengguo's wishes perfectly; since his mind wasn't on it anyway, he might as well let his younger brother play.

"Okay, go ahead! I'll just take a look."

After the two brothers switched positions, Sun Zheng'an actually played quite well, going back and forth with Yan Bugui, neither giving an inch.

Sun Zhengguo, however, was still lost in thought. He couldn't understand why Yan Jiecheng hadn't returned yet. Had he overslept because he was tired from playing?

Just as Sun Zhengguo was preoccupied with this, his brother Jie Cheng, after overcoming countless difficulties, finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and the courtyard house was within reach.

At this moment, someone at the entrance of the courtyard had already noticed that there were people in the distance climbing towards them.

"Dad, someone is climbing towards our yard."

"Yan Jiekuang, the third son of the Yan family, reported."

Yan Bugui was engrossed in playing chess and didn't even look up when he spoke.

"Why do you care so much? He's probably some beggar who's just pretending to be pitiful. I've seen plenty of people like that."

After hearing Yan Bugui's analysis, the people at the door stopped paying attention. After all, every family was short of food, and they couldn't give food to anyone who came begging.

It wasn't until the person crawling on the ground got closer that Yan Jiedi realized something was wrong. Why did that person look so much like her elder brother?

"Mom, do you think that beggar might be my eldest brother?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, child? How could your older brother be begging?"

The three women looked at the youngest girl and couldn't bear to scold her loudly, so they just raised their voices a little.

"Mom, look for yourself! I'm not lying, it really is my brother."

By this time, Yan Jiedi didn't need to say anything; several people had already recognized that the beggar was Yan Jiecheng.

No, it should be the person who climbed over, Yan Jiecheng. It's all Yan Bugui's fault for misleading us.

The three women, no longer caring about the aggrieved girl beside them, shouted loudly.

"Old man, come quick and see what's wrong with our son? How did he crawl back?"

Upon hearing the shout, Yan Bugui quickly put down his chess pieces, stood up, and ran outside.

Sun Zhengguo pretended to be nonchalant and went to greet his brother Jie Cheng.

Seeing a large group of people running towards him, Yan Jiecheng's eyes welled up with tears; he had finally seen his family.

"Jiecheng, who did this to you?"

Yan Bugui, who had run over, asked impatiently.

"Dad, no one hurt me. I took a nap and when I woke up, I couldn't move my legs."

Yan Jiecheng said, his voice choked with emotion.

Yan Bugui didn't care about anything else; he wanted to get his son back first.

"Come on, a few people, let's carry Jiecheng back."

Upon Yan Bugui's shout, Sun Zhengguo echoed.

"Yes, yes, yes! Let a few people carry Brother Jie back first, and then we'll find a doctor."

With everyone's concerted efforts, Yan Jiecheng was finally carried to his bed.

Before long, Dr. Hu from the neighboring courtyard was also invited over and was taking Yan Jiecheng's pulse.

After a series of examinations, Dr. Hu shook his head and then spoke.

"Old Yan, I checked, but I couldn't find the cause. Why don't you go to the hospital and have a machine check it out?"

Yan Bugui felt distressed upon hearing this, wondering how much it would cost to go to the hospital. So, he asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Dr. Hu, your medical skills are the best in this area, is there no other way?"

Dr. Hu looked grave, shook his head, and indicated that there was really no other way; he couldn't just spout nonsense!

Left with no other option, Yan Bugui could only arrange for someone to borrow a cart to take his son to the hospital.

Sun Zhengguo handled this matter; after all, he was familiar with the other party!

After borrowing a cart, Sun Zhengguo and others helped take the patient to the hospital. He was really going all out for his brother Jie Cheng.

Upon arriving at the hospital, after a series of examinations, nothing was found, but the doctor seemed hesitant to speak.

"Doctor, what exactly is going on? Tell me!"

Yan Bugui was anxious. In just a short while, he had spent more than 12 yuan. He couldn't afford any more accidents.

"Then I said that the cause of the patient's paralysis has not been found yet. I suggest we observe the patient further, as it may be a psychological issue."

Yan Bugui finally sighed. Although the cause had not yet been found, it was better than a bolt from the blue!

Besides, it won't cost much to observe them.

Just as Yan Bugui was about to thank the doctor, the doctor said something else.

"Although we couldn't find the cause of the illness, we discovered an unexpected situation during the examination: the patient has abnormal testicular function and may be infertile."

Although the doctor phrased it rather tactfully, the matter is essentially confirmed.

Yan Bugui, who was just feeling relieved, was truly struck by a bolt from the blue. His son could no longer have children, so how was he going to find a wife in the future?

Those who came with them were also dumbfounded. This was yet another Yi Zhonghai! The compound was about to have another child without an heir.

In the end, Yan Bugui mustered his spirits and discussed with the doctor the possibility of going home for observation, since staying in the hospital would also cost money.

The doctor knew that, to put it nicely, it meant observation, but to put it bluntly, it meant being powerless to do anything, so he simply agreed.

The group came and went in a hurry, and then pulled Yan Jiecheng along as they walked towards the compound.

On the way home, no one spoke, and no one talked about what had just happened.

Yan Jiecheng was unaware that his old illness had not yet healed and that he had suffered a new injury.

And after returning home, their fame may spread far and wide!
