The village chief and the team leader arrived even before the police, constantly inquiring about Lin Qin's condition.
Lin Qin, with tears in her voice and feeling helpless, said, "Ever since my dad got injured, I didn't dare to sleep too soundly, afraid he might call in the middle of the night. I woke up when I heard sounds in the courtyard. At first, I thought it was a cat, but soon the wind blew in from the door. I knew it wasn't a cat; a thief must have broken in.
At that moment, I hid there with a stick. I didn't plan to kill anyone, but he lunged at me. I was terrified, and by the time I came back to my senses, he was already like that."
She still doesn't know who that person was, her heart filled with endless fear.
Most villagers are understanding and know Lin Qin has it tough, so hardly anyone sympathized with the thief who got beaten to death.
