Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Yan Bugui was leisurely tending to the carefully cultivated flowers and plants at the doorstep of his home. The sunlight shining on him, reflecting his focused expression.

This urgent shouting broke the silence. The moment Yan Bugui heard the voice, he immediately put down the tools in his hands and quickly walked to the gate of the yard.

He frowned slightly and asked the visitor in confusion, "What happened to Lao Yi?"

The man looked hurried, and while gesturing, he said, "Sir, are you his family member? Come with me quickly, he has been sitting by the city gate for a long time."

After saying this, the man seemed to not be able to delay for a moment, and was ready to leave, leading the way eagerly.

He wanted to take Yan Bugui with him as soon as possible and rush to where Yi Zhonghai was.

Yan Bugui reacted quickly and stopped him immediately: "Wait a minute, I'm not Yi Zhonghai's family member, I'll go find his wife for you, wait a minute."

Yan Bugui was thinking quickly in his mind. He knew very well that he couldn't just follow them rashly in this situation. If something really happened, he would never be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

He has always been unwilling to get involved in such thankless tasks. He had always stayed as far away from the matter between the Jia family's grandparents and grandchildren as possible before, and this time was certainly no exception.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui turned around without hesitation and quickened his pace towards the central courtyard.

As he walked, he thought to himself, the man said that Yi Zhonghai had been sitting at the city gate for a long time, maybe he had a health problem.

If this is true, then we must quickly find Yi Zhonghai's wife and let her handle the matter. What will happen to others?

Soon, Yan Bugui arrived at the door of the Yi family. He immediately raised his hand, banged on the door vigorously, and shouted:

"Old Yi, come out quickly, someone came to report that something happened to your old Yi."

The voice echoed in the yard, with a bit of anxiety and worry, anxiously waiting for a response.

After all, Yi Zhonghai is the backbone of this hospital. He also hopes that the aunt can come out quickly to see what happened to Yi Zhonghai.

There was a slight noise in the room, followed by footsteps coming quickly from far away. An old lady quickly opened the door, her eyes revealing panic and uneasiness:

"Old Yan, what happened to Old Yi? What happened?"

The old lady had a weak heart to begin with, and when she heard this her heart started pounding. She was now holding her chest tightly.

Yan Bugui comforted her and told her not to be too nervous, and then he quickly told her in detail what he had just heard:

"Someone just came to me and said that someone saw Lao Yi sitting by the city gate for a long time. We don't know the details, so go and take a look."

When the aunt heard this, she panicked and her hands began to tremble unconsciously. She hurriedly turned back to the house, took out a cotton jacket, put it on, and walked out:

"Old Yan, let's go quickly."

What is puzzling is that Yan Bugui refused: "Old Yan, I have to go out for something right away. Why don't you find someone else to go with you?"

"That man is still waiting at the door, or you can go with him."

When Sha Zhu came back from outside, he only heard the second half of Yan Bugui's words and asked with a smile, "Where are you going? How about taking me with you?"

The aunt's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a savior, and she immediately went forward and pulled Sha Zhu: "Zhu Zi, let's go and see Uncle together."

"What's so good about a grandfather? He's just an old man, not a young and pretty girl."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking with a smile, he found that the first lady and the third uncle all had serious faces. He immediately realized that he might have said something wrong, so he put away his smile and said:

"First Aunt, let's go. Third Uncle won't go with you, so I'll go with you."

The two followed the guide in front of them and hurried to the city gate. From a distance, they saw Yi Zhonghai sitting there alone, with a dazed look on his face, as if he was isolated from the world around him.

His eyes were empty and lifeless, and no one knew where he was looking. He exuded a lonely aura.

The old lady's heart was pounding all the way, and she imagined countless times that Yi Zhonghai had a seizure at the city gate. When she saw him sitting on the ground well, she breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly ran forward, squatted down, and gently shook Yi Zhonghai's arm, with a sobbing voice: "Old Yi, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting here?"

She clearly remembered that Yi Zhonghai went out early in the morning and said that he was going to the hospital to help take the child home. The city gate and the hospital were in opposite directions.

Could it be that Old Yi got lost, or was there something compelling that forced him to come here?

The aunt's words made Yi Zhonghai slowly raise his head, his eyes empty, as if he had not yet come back to his senses from some thoughts.

After a long while, he murmured, "I... I don't know, I just walked and walked and ended up here."

Sha Zhu stood aside, frowning and thinking. Along the way, he had asked the person who came to report the news and the old lady, and found out the situation of Yi Zhonghai.

He carefully observed Yi Zhonghai's face and demeanor, guessing various possible situations in his mind: "This uncle is not in a good state, is he sick?"

Hearing this, the aunt's face was full of worry. She reached out and touched Yi Zhonghai's forehead: "Old Yi, what's wrong with you? Let's go to the hospital quickly."

Yi Zhonghai seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He looked blankly at the people surrounding him, shook his head, and said:

"I'm not sick, I'm just thinking about something, and I don't know how I got here."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Uncle, what's going on? Tell us what's on your mind, and we can think of a solution together."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and struggled to stand up from the ground. His legs were numb from sitting for a long time and he couldn't stand up after trying several times.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu turned to the aunt and said, "Look, I told you that the uncle is sick, but he still won't admit it. Aunt, I think we should send him to the hospital right away."

It would have been fine if Sha Zhu didn't mention the hospital. As soon as he mentioned the word hospital, Yi Zhonghai remembered that he had promised to pick up Geng from the hospital today.

Now he was even more anxious to stand up. He gritted his teeth and tried hard, and finally stood up. He raised his foot and was about to walk in the direction he came from.

After taking a few steps, Yi Zhonghai suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground accidentally. The fall was so severe that Yi Zhonghai gasped in pain.

Auntie and Shazhu hurried forward to help him, and Auntie consoled him, "Old Yi, don't worry, just take your time and tell me what's going on."

Yi Zhonghai panted and said anxiously, "Today I promised to go to the hospital to pick up Geng from the hospital. I forgot about it. Let's go to the hospital quickly."

"Okay, you should take care of yourself first. When we went out, we saw Qin Huairu and Bang Geng, and they had already returned to the yard."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief, but soon a dull pain came from his left elbow...
