The Black and White Impermanence disappeared, their merits and fame hidden deep within.
The arrival of the police was like a bolt of lightning, instantly shattering the previous tranquility.
When his empty hands were handcuffed by cold handcuffs, his mind went blank, and he seemed to be frozen in place, his eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.
Li Fagui stood to the side, his mouth moving like a running motor, talking non-stop.
His words came out like a machine gun, each one carrying accusation and disdain.
“Look, this child is terrified. He’s probably in a very bad mental state. You should take him to a mental hospital right away! Otherwise, he might go out and harm people again. If I hadn’t closed the door quickly and prevented him from running around and harming people, it wouldn’t have been so easy for you to catch him.”
His face was full of smugness, as if he were a hero who had saved the world.
Upon hearing Li Fagu's words, Kong Xu's anger was instantly ignited.
His face was contorted in a ferocious expression, with veins bulging on his forehead and bloodshot eyes, like a wild beast that had been enraged.
When Li Fagui saw this, he was almost scared to death. His face turned pale instantly, and his legs went weak.
He immediately shouted, "Quick, quick, he's having another attack!" His voice was filled with fear and panic.
Just then, the doctor arrived.
Without saying a word, they took out syringes and stabbed into the empty space.
Blood gushed out instantly after the needle was inserted, demonstrating the force applied.
The emptiness and pain jolted his body violently, but he was unable to break free of the handcuffs.
The doctors' faces were expressionless, as if they were facing a lifeless object.
Everyone around watched this scene in silence, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
The police kept a close eye on him, fearing he might do something rash again.
Li Fagui hid to the side, trembling, occasionally popping out a word.
Emptiness, under the influence of the drugs, gradually lost consciousness and her body went limp and collapsed.
This sudden turmoil seems to have come to a temporary end, but a rattle-drum-like object was left on the ground.
Li Fagui bent down and picked up the drum from the ground. The drumhead was smooth, like the skin of a baby.
He was carrying the drum, muttering, "He still carries this thing around all the time. Looks like this mental patient is pretty badly mentally ill!"
The drum remained silent, as if it too were telling the secrets of the emptiness deep within its heart.
At this moment, Li Zhongguo stepped forward and asked with feigned concern, "Fa Gui, are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, Li Fagui immediately straightened his back and said confidently, "Hey! Dad, don't worry, what could possibly happen to me? Hehua told me today to take good care of you! How could I dare to get into trouble!"
His face beamed with happiness and pride, as if he had received a tremendous promise.
After saying this, Li Fagui seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly reminded him, "Dad, quick, you should also try calling Mom."
Li Fagui's eyes were full of anticipation; he wondered if he could find out anything about lotus flowers from his mother.
Li Fagui turned his head anxiously, only to find that his father had already taken out his phone and made a call.
Li Zhongguo's face showed a hint of nervousness, and his fingers trembled slightly as he pressed the number.
The dial tone on the other end of the phone seemed to resonate with everyone's heartstrings.
Li Fagui stared nervously at his father, not daring to breathe.
He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his mother would answer the phone.
As time ticked by, Li Zhongguo's expression grew increasingly grave.
Finally, the call connected, and a relieved smile appeared on Li Zhongguo's face.
He quickly inquired about Ma Linghua's situation, his voice filled with concern.
Li Fagui stood aside, anxiously waiting for his father's response.
When he heard that his mother-in-law was alright, he breathed a long sigh of relief and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"By the way, Dad, ask Mom if Lotus has been feeling really down lately. She sounded so heartbroken when I called her, and it really hurt me to hear that."
Li Zhongguo also doted on his daughter, so without thinking, he asked.
Ma Linghua glanced at Ma Hehua, who was sleeping with her back to her, looking guilty, her ears twitching.
She couldn't sleep at all; she just wanted to eavesdrop on whether her mother and father had said anything bad about Fa Gui.
"Linghua, is your daughter alright? I heard from Fa Gui that she hasn't been eating or sleeping well. Is she okay?"
Ma Hehua felt a little guilty. Her mother would definitely expose her. Waaah~ It's so mean. She can't even act cute like Fa Gui.
"Hmph! Old man, you know what kind of person our daughter is. Aren't you embarrassed to ask that?"
Li Zhongguo: "………………………"
She looked up at her son-in-law and saw that he had been worried but then felt relieved, followed by sadness. Hehua had lied to him; she was heartbroken.
Li Zhongguo: "…………………………"
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. If you don't have to go fishing, then stay home and take good care of yourself. We won't be back for a while. I'm hanging up now."
I hung up decisively, otherwise that old man would have lingered on the phone and kept rambling on.
"Lotus, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
"Mom, you don't know, someone was trying to harm us. I got up to go to the toilet and took care of him. I just didn't want to disturb you and our daughter's rest, so I dragged him to the river to clean up."
Ma Hehua spoke with such conviction that she showed no sign of lying, and Ma Linghua, who had been staring at her for a long time, believed her.
"Okay! Let's go to sleep if there's nothing else!"
"Yes! I understand, Mother."
The three of them lay on the kang (a heated brick bed). Ma Hehua smacked her lips, feeling a little regretful that the man had run away.
