Once the police arrive, things will be much easier.
While they were rescuing people, the parents who collected scraps returned. Knowing that their two children had been taken to the hospital, they went there as well. The man stayed behind to wait for his eldest son, staring blankly at his once peaceful home now reduced to ruins. The man was completely numb, his face ashen as he looked at everything, utterly at a loss for what to do.
Only when people shouted that the older child had finally been rescued did the man come to his senses. He rushed to the older child, hugged him, and cried.
The older child cried when he saw his father.
The father and son cried bitterly, and the people around them sighed.
At this moment, the police came over and said, "We've caught a suspicious person here who tried to push down the back wall and then crush these people to death. Do you recognize him?"
The man released the child with his dirty hands, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, turned to look at the handcuffed man, and was taken aback. "Second brother, what are you doing here? Didn't you go south?"
The handcuffed person coldly turned their head away.
Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed, "What? He's your brother? But he was just about to kill someone!"
Seeing this situation, the police said, "Go back to the station to give your statement first, and we will investigate this matter thoroughly."
The man turned around and bowed to each of the people around him who had helped rescue his three children, then left with the police, carrying one of the children who was walking with a slight limp.
Lin Yuan called out, telling Ye to take the child for a check-up.
Before leaving, the child turned back to look at Zhao Huanhuan, then suddenly ran over and bowed to Zhao Huanhuan and Lin Yuan, saying, "Thank you for saving me, brother and sister. I will definitely repay you when I grow up."
After saying that, the child ran back to his father.
The outcome of this matter is unknown, and people are all worried and anxious about this family.
The first few people who saw the accident also went with the police to get their testimonies.
Zhao Huanhuan and Lin Yuan, who arrived later to rescue the person, did not go to the police station. Zhao Huanhuan's suspicion that the person pushed the wall was corroborated by someone who happened to witness it, and that person also went to the police station to provide testimony.
As the people around them gradually dispersed, Zhao Huanhuan and Lin Yuan turned around and headed home.
However, both of them were quite disheveled. Lin Yuan's clothes were dirty in two places, and she had two cuts on her hands. Zhao Huanhuan was covered in dust and dirt, but she didn't have any cuts.
Along the way, Lin Yuan would glance at her back from time to time.
Zhao Huanhuan noticed and smiled, "It's okay. I didn't use my back to carry it. I kicked the mud wall in front of me, and I just got covered in dirt."
"It's good that you're alright. I was worried that you might get hurt carrying that wall on your back." Lin Yuan sighed. If he could, he didn't want Huanhuan to be in danger, but the situation was too dangerous today. The three children had no ability to save themselves, and Huanhuan was strong, so he had no choice but to let her help.
When the two returned home, their appearance startled the Zhao family elders, who asked in trembling voices, "What happened? Where did you two fall?"
Zhao Huan let out a sigh of relief. She told Lin Yuan to go wash up first, and that she would tell her parents about the situation. Lin Yuan told her to go, and that he would tell the two elders.
Zhao Huanhuan could only go to wash up and change her clothes first, and Lin Yuan explained the situation to the two elders.
After hearing this, Zhao Fugui and Zhang Jinhua's faces turned rather grim. "That must be incredibly dangerous. Look at the two of you like this, it's heartbreaking. I know that family; they're an old family, but after their elders passed away, their lives have become increasingly difficult, and their second brother isn't exactly a good person either."
While feeling sorry for her daughter and son-in-law, Zhang Jinhua told them about the family's situation.
It turned out that the family's surname was Zhao, the same as theirs, but they were long-time residents of the original city. That courtyard was their ancestral home, and the house was an old adobe house that had been there for many years.
His second brother, a gambler and womanizer, lost a lot of money and then sold the room he had been allocated in the courtyard to his eldest brother for two hundred yuan.
Later, I heard that after he squandered all his money outside, he came back and asked his brother for the house. His brother refused to give it to him, and the brothers even argued about it.
I heard that the second brother disappeared for more than two years. Unexpectedly, when he reappeared, he targeted his three nephews and nieces. It seems that the collapse of the house must be related to him.
I have no idea how he did it!
Several people sighed. Yes, even if it was an old house, it was still habitable. They really didn't know how it could have collapsed like that.
After washing up and changing into her pajamas, Zhao Huanhuan sat on the sofa and dried her hair, gesturing to Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, go wash up!"
Lin Yuan responded and went to the bedroom to get her pajamas before going into the bathroom to wash up.
After he finished washing up and was about to do laundry, Zhang Jinhua knocked on the bathroom door. "Xiao Lin, come out when you're done washing up. Your hand is injured, and Huanhuan is waiting to apply medicine to it. I'll do the laundry for both of you."
Lin Yuan opened the door. "No need, Auntie, I'll wash them. We just got our outer clothes dirty."
"No, don't touch the laundry detergent with your hands anymore, I'll wash them." After saying that, Zhao Jinhua turned around and gestured for Zhao Huanhuan to call the person out.
Zhao Huanhuan had no choice but to go in and bring Lin Yuan out. She thanked Zhao Jinhua, then said to Lin Yuan, "Let me put some medicine on you!"
Zhao Fugui had already found a small medicine bottle and some cotton. Zhao Huanhuan took it, poured the purple medicine onto the cotton, and slowly applied it to the injured area.
"Actually, this kind of wound is nothing to worry about, it will be fine tomorrow," Lin Yuan said softly, comforting Zhao Huanhuan as she looked at her silent expression.
