Gou Dan threw away the candle holder, looked at his hands stained with his grandfather’s blood and his face turned pale. He stood up quickly and looked at his grandfather lying motionless on the ground, with blood bleeding from his head.
Seeing a pool of blood on the ground, he looked at his mother and asked tremblingly, "Mother, what should I do now? I killed my grandfather!"
Gou Dan’s mother was trembling with fear and at a loss. But thinking about her young son ending up in jail, she gritted her teeth and said, "Son, listen to me. You didn’t attack your grandfather. We just came back from the kitchen and found him already like this. Do you understand?"
Hearing his mother’s words, Gou Dan was stunned. His mind was in chaos and he couldn’t think of anything.
Seeing that her son didn’t speak, she shook her son’s body and said sternly, "Chen Jiande, do you understand?!"
Gou Dan was startled by his mother’s shout, nodded and said, "Mother, I understand."
Taking a deep breath, Gou Dan’s mother nodded and said, "Good. Now, you must run as fast as you can to find Team Leader Han. Ask him to help send your grandfather to the hospital. Mother will notify your uncle and aunt."
Gou Dan’s mother pushed her son out and said, "Go quickly!"
Gou Dan glanced at his grandfather again, and finally followed his mother’s instructions and ran out to find Han Yuheng. Meanwhile, his mother pulled the cloth on the altar table. With a pull, all the bowls, plates and several candle holders fell to the ground.
She smeared the candle holder with her father-in-law’s blood and spread it around him. After making sure there was nothing suspicious, she took a deep breath and shouted, "Father, what’s wrong with you?!"
Then, she ran out of the ancestral hall and shouted, "Help! Second brother, third brother, sister-in-law, Father fainted!"
As she shouted, Grandpa Chen’s sons and family members came out of their rooms one after another. Seeing her hands covered with blood, they were shocked and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened?!"
"Second brother, Father fainted in the ancestral hall. I don’t know what happened. When my son and I came back from the kitchen, we saw that Father had fainted on the ground and was bleeding."
Seeing her frightened expression and pale face, they believed her words and rushed to the ancestral hall without any doubts about her story.
At the same time, Gou Dan was running towards Han Yuheng’s home with his clothes and hands covered with blood. The villagers were surprised when they saw him like this, thinking that he had hit another child again. So, some idle villagers followed him to Han Yuheng’s house out of curiosity.
When they arrived at Han Yuheng’s house, they saw Gou Dan knocking on the door anxiously and shouting, "Team Leader Han, please save my grandpa!"
