Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Even though Lin Yi is a naughty boy, he also shows his intelligence in study. He is definitely a gifted person. He can remember almost everything that Yan Bugui and Ran Qiuye teach them in one reading, which surprised Yan Bugui and Ran Qiuye. They said that Lin Yi is definitely a genius.

But it was not only Lin Yi that surprised Yan Bugui and Ran Qiuye. Lin Geng's daughter Lin Xiaoxi, although she was usually well-behaved, had an extremely high IQ. Her memory and flexible thinking were not inferior to her brother Lin Yi. Like Lin Yi, she had a photographic memory for many things, and she could draw inferences about other situations when faced with problems that required thinking. Her thinking was very flexible.

The intelligence of Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxi not only surprised Yan Bugui and Ran Qiuye, but also made the parents of these children in the yard feel frustrated. They cried out that the world was really unfair. Lin Geng and Yu Li were already very smart, but the children they gave birth to were also so smart. Is this fair?

Such a result not only surprised the neighbors in the yard, but also surprised Yu Li, the mother. She did not think she was very smart. Although she also felt that she was not stupid, on the contrary, she was quite shrewd, but she did not think she could be as smart as her two children. When she got such a result, Yu Li herself felt it was a little unbelievable, so she could only attribute the reason for her children's intelligence to the fact that Yu Lin Geng, the father, was too smart.

Only Lin Geng himself knew that the reason why his child was so different and so intelligent was indeed related to him. After he absorbed the unknown energy from the small world, his body was greatly transformed. Not only did his physical fitness far surpass that of ordinary people, but his memory was also greatly enhanced.

Therefore, Lin suspected that the reason why his child was so smart was probably because his genes had been transformed by that mysterious energy, so that even his child had become very healthy and smart.

This made Lin Geng quite complacent.

And not long after, in 1970, Yu Li gave birth to another son for Lin Geng, which made Lin Geng very happy. They named the third child Lin Lang, making the Lin family even stronger. The couple basically spent all day taking care of their three children, and their life was so comfortable that it was truly enviable.

When the time came to 1976, Lin Geng was already 32 years old. This was destined to be an uneasy year, during which an unprecedented disaster might occur.

Lin Gengdang began to feel uneasy after entering 1976. After the beginning of the year, he was deeply saddened by the passing of an old man who was highly respected by the Chinese people. His mood was very low at first, and then he began to become anxious and restless.

Lin Geng hesitated for a long time. As time passed, he became more and more anxious and uneasy. He often tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. One thing always bothered him and made him unable to feel at ease.

As his wife, Yu Li was of course the first to notice Lin Geng's abnormality. She asked Lin Geng many times if he had encountered any difficulties and asked Lin Geng to tell her so that the couple could deal with it together.

But Lin Geng always made excuses saying it was nothing, just that he hadn't slept well recently and was feeling a little anxious. He refused to tell the reason for his anxiety, leaving Yu Li quite confused.

As time passed, Lin Geng's anxiety became more and more serious, to the point where he could not sleep at night. He would quietly walk out of the house and sit on the steps outside the door, smoking one cigarette after another, his eyes looking towards the east of the old city, where there was a city called Tang City.

At that time, no one knew that on a night in July of that year, a devastating earthquake that shocked the world would occur in that city. Overnight, more than 200,000 people would die, more than 100,000 people would be seriously injured or disabled, more than 7,000 families would be wiped out, and more than 4,000 children would become orphans.

Originally, Lin Geng had forgotten about this incident, but at the beginning of the year, this memory was activated in Lin Geng's mind. Although he did not experience this earthquake in later life, he had seen descriptions of this disaster in many media, and had also watched movies and documentaries depicting this earthquake.

This tragic disaster left a deep impression on him, and he felt a pang of pain in his heart whenever he thought of it.

If he had forgotten about the earthquake, he would not have been so anxious, but unfortunately he remembered it. If he had just sat back and watched, allowing the disaster to happen, watching so many people's lives come to an abrupt end that night without them knowing it, watching so many people being crushed in the rubble and becoming disabled, watching so many families become empty overnight, watching so many children become orphans, then he would not be Lin Geng.

He really wanted to send out an immediate warning to the central government, telling them that a huge earthquake would occur in Tang City in July. He even wrote a letter and prepared to send it out.

But later he hesitated, because he really couldn't explain this matter. How did he predict that such a big earthquake would happen in Tang City? Even if he sent the letter, would it attract the attention of the central government?

In the absence of any evidence, even if this letter was sent to the center, it would be considered a prank and thrown directly into the trash can. It would not attract the center's attention at all, and it would not even reach the desks of the center's top leaders.

So Lin Geng still didn't send the letter and began to fall into anxiety, with this matter occupying his mind every day.

As time passed, Lin Geng became more and more anxious. By the end of June, he could no longer sit still, because time did not allow him to hesitate any longer.

One night in early July, Lin Geng, dressed in black, dodged all passers-by and patrol officers on the street, appeared at the door of a ministry, and looked around at a house at the door.

This house was originally a gatehouse outside the gate of the courtyard. Later, it was requisitioned as the office of a ministry and was renovated, but the gatehouse was retained.

In the past, this gatehouse was used as a duty room for guards, but it has been abandoned in the past two years. It has not been demolished. It is now controlled here and occasionally used as a temporary reception room for ministries to receive visitors. But after nightfall, there is no one in this room.
