Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 388 The old man in the compound

Xu Damao: (somewhat annoyed) "Isn't this decision too much? We are doing it for everyone's good, not for individual people."

Li Xiang: (trying to calm down) "Maybe they have their own considerations. Let's understand the situation first before talking."

Little Sophora japonica: (said worriedly) "But in this case, wouldn't our spirit of unity be broken?"

Director Yang: (After thinking for a moment, he said) "We can talk to them and understand the reasons behind their decisions."

Everyone walked to the compound next door and found the representatives who had just been voted on.

Representative 1: (Explaining) "We considered that Widow Wang is an old person in the compound and lives alone. And she is also very kind to everyone in her daily life. Everyone agreed that she needs this bicycle more."

He Yudong: (confused) "But our original intention is for the safety of the entire community, not for individual individuals. In this case, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"

Representative 2: (trying to explain) "We also understand your intentions, but everyone really thought this was more fair when voting. Besides, Widow Wang may have a more convenient life because of her bicycle."

He Yuzhu: (somewhat angry) “What we donate is for the safety of the community, not to make it more convenient for someone.”

Representative 1: (said awkwardly) "We just made the decision based on the wishes of the majority of people. I hope you can understand."

Li Xiang: (said calmly) "We understand everyone's good intentions, but we hope that we can communicate more and make better decisions in the future."

After some exchanges, it was found that although the residents of the compound next door had their own considerations about their decision, the residents of the courtyard still felt a little dissatisfied. This unexpected situation made everyone face difficulties again, and they couldn't help but start to think about how to balance individual needs and overall safety in the common community and find a better consensus.

While the residents of the courtyard expressed dissatisfaction, Widow Wang showed a grateful smile.

Widow Wang: (said kindly) "Everyone, I really didn't expect that you would fight to the death for me, an old lady. You are so kind."

Little Huaihua: (somewhat embarrassed) "Aunt Wang, we don't have any objections to you, we just feel that our donation this time is for the safety of the entire community."

Widow Wang: (stroking Little Sophora japonica’s head) “I know, I know. Your original intention is good, but I have become the focus of controversy.”

He Yudong: (sincerely) "Aunt Wang, we are not targeting you, but we hope that through this donation, the entire community can be more united."

Widow Wang: (nodding) "I understand, I understand. You young people are all for the good of the community, but I am an old man and I have nothing to hope for."

He Yuzhu: (said consolingly) "Aunt Wang, you are the elder of our compound. We are all doing this for everyone's good."

Widow Wang: (smiling) "Good children, I don't think you have done anything wrong to me. On the contrary, you have always cared about me over the years. Although I don't particularly need this bicycle, your intentions are appreciated. I understand.”

Director Yang: (said with emotion) "Although there were some misunderstandings this time, it also allowed us to understand each other better. We will pay more attention to everyone's opinions in the future and work together to maintain our community."

Widow Wang: (Speaking encouragingly) "Okay, okay, you are all good children, and I am not a fussy person. If anything happens in the future, we can all discuss it and resolve it."

With the understanding and encouragement of Widow Wang, the residents of the courtyard and the compound next door gradually got over this small dispute. In the process, they became more aware of the importance of community cohesion and camaraderie. Everyone decided to pay more attention to neighbor relations in the days to come, communicate with each other, and work together for the peace and harmony of the community.

Although the previous donation caused some controversy, this small episode also made the residents of the courtyard more deeply aware that in the face of difficulties, only by uniting as one and working together can they protect their homes.

After the residents of the courtyard and the compound next door gradually eased their previous minor disputes, the tranquility of the community was once again seriously threatened. One night, screams and urgent calls for help were heard throughout the community.

Little Sophora japonica: (said in panic) "Everyone, come out and take a look. Something seems to have happened in the compound next door!"

Everyone walked towards the yard and saw the residents of the compound next door gathered together, their faces full of fear and nervousness.

Widow Wang: (said in a trembling voice) "Someone...someone entered our compound."

He Yuzhu: (said warily) "What? Is he a thief?"

Representative 1: (said anxiously) "No, it's a murderer! He has been hiding in the yard for some time."

He Yudong: (Clenched fists) "Murderer? We have to notify the police quickly!"

Li Xiang: (said anxiously) "Time is running out, we can't sit back and wait, we must take action immediately!"

Everyone immediately called the police and formed a small team, carrying homemade defense tools to the compound next door.

Little Sophora Flower: (said tremblingly) "We have to be careful, we don't know where the murderer is."

Director Yang: (leading everyone) "Everyone, stay vigilant and look after each other. We have to find out his whereabouts."

As everyone stepped deeper into the compound next door, the tense atmosphere spread at night. In the darkness, everyone searched carefully, trying to find the murderer lurking inside. Suddenly, a strange sound caught everyone's attention.

He Yuzhu: (said nervously) "What is that sound?"

Representative 2: (whispers) "It seems to be coming from deep inside the yard, we have to be careful."

Everyone followed the sound and saw a suspicious man hiding in the shadows in a corner.

He Yudong: (shouting angrily) "Stop! Who are you? Why did you enter our community?"

Murderer: (sneering) "Did you also find out? Unfortunately, it's too late."

As the murderer finished speaking, he suddenly waved the knife in his hand and attacked everyone. A tense confrontation broke out instantly, and everyone tried their best to resist.

Little Sophora japonica: (shouting anxiously) "He Yudong, be careful!"

He Yudong: (Concentrate on the response) "Everyone, protect yourselves, we can't let him escape!"

In the shadow of the night, the residents of the community started a life-and-death battle with the murderer. At this critical moment, how will they respond and jointly protect the place they call home?

The murderer brandished the knife in his hand and fought fiercely with the community residents. But at this tense moment, a sudden violent vibration broke the tranquility of the night.

He Yudong: (Shouting in shock) "What happened?!"

Everyone looked up in horror and saw a huge explosion coming from the corner of the yard where He Yudong's bicycle was. A ball of orange-red flames shot up in the dark night, accompanied by a violent shock wave, swallowing up everything around it.

Little Sophora japonica: (stunned) "Then...what is that?"

He Yuzhu: (eyes widened) "Is it... a bomb?"

Li Xiang: (said out loud) "How could there be a bomb? How would we know!"

Director Yang: (organizing everyone nervously) "Everyone, disperse quickly and stay away from the explosion point!"

People fled in panic, and fear and chaos spread throughout the community. The aftermath of the explosion was still shaking in the air, and the originally peaceful night instantly turned into chaos.

He Yudong: (Roaring) "This bastard actually planted a bomb!"

Murderer: (smiling triumphantly) "You can't believe it? You can no longer keep this so-called home."

The aftermath of the explosion gradually dissipated, and the scene was in a mess, with charred remains scattered everywhere. The community residents looked at the scene in front of them in shock, filled with fear and helplessness.

Little Sophora japonica: (crying loudly) "Our home... was destroyed."

He Yuzhu: (Roaring angrily) "This murderer is really a beast!"

Li Xiang: (said in a trembling voice) "What should we do? Our home..."

He Yudong: (Clenched fist angrily) "Don't give up, we can't let this murderer go free. We have to chase him out and catch him!"

Director Yang: (said calmly) "We have to call the police immediately and notify the surrounding communities. This criminal cannot escape."

Everyone was struggling in the chaos, trying to find a solution. Residents of the community will face unprecedented challenges in the aftermath of a bomb explosion.

He Yudong hurried to the classroom carrying his schoolbag as usual. He was in a happy mood because today was his favorite self-study class. However, when he came to the classroom, he found that his lunch box was missing.

"Where is my lunch box?" He Yudong felt nervous and looked around. The students were talking and quarreling, each speculating on the whereabouts of the lunch box.

"Did someone take it by mistake?" someone whispered.

"Maybe I accidentally misplaced it." Someone else tried to calm everyone's doubts.

However, at this moment, someone pointed at He Yudong and asked loudly: "Didn't you steal it? You usually don't have money to buy food, so you must be hungry, so you steal other people's lunch boxes!"

He Yudong was at a loss for a moment. He was stunned and looked at the classmates around him with a blank look on his face. He really didn't expect that anyone would suspect him, let alone that he would be accused of being a thief.

"I didn't steal the lunch box!" He Yudong finally came to his senses and hurriedly defended, "I just went to the wrong classroom."

However, some people did not believe his explanation and thought it was just an excuse he made up. As he spoke, doubts and accusations kept coming to He Yudong, as if pushing him into a dangerous abyss.
