Perhaps because he had something to eat, Guo Xiaotao's hostility diminished significantly. The two police officers saw he was no longer attacking anyone, so they attempted to release one of his hands, allowing the child to eat the rice cake on his own.
Guo Xiaotao ate to his heart's content and then collapsed into a pile of cotton batting, falling into a deep sleep.
After all, he was still a five-year-old child, and he had been hungry all day, throwing a tantrum for a good half-day. Of course, he was both exhausted and famished. Now that he had eaten his fill and drunk enough, sleepiness hit him hard.
As soon as Guo Xiaotao fell asleep, a neighbor asked Yuan Chun, "Jingling's wife, does Xiaotao really have a mental illness?"
Yuan Chun put on a worried expression, "Yes, on my first day here, I saw him pinning Jing Hong to the ground and hitting him hard. That behavior was not that of a normal child, which is why I suspected there was something wrong with his mind."
