"What happened?" Many people were startled by Old Madam Lu's voice and thought there had been some sort of murder, all coming out to see.
They wished they hadn't when they did—a fine young man had become a eunuch!
Shock!
The expressions on the faces of those present were all of stunned disbelief, like wooden chickens.
"What's happened here?"
"It looks like he was bitten by some animal?"
"What's that old lady standing there for? What good will crying do? Call an ambulance already!"
"I've already called for help. By the way, do any of you recognize which family he's from?"
"Seems like he's from the Lu family, hold on, I'll go and notify the Lu family."
Ultimately, more kind-hearted neighbors were either calling 120 or heading to the Lu family's place.
Although Old Madam Lu had severed ties with the Lu family, they still needed to come and see, even if they might decide not to get involved—that was a matter for another time.
