I never forget this story because it's weird and a bit scary. When I was a child, I shared time with a cousin. We went together to everything. We lived in a house that our grand father built, so it was built like a Tetris game. I don't know why, but we loved to go over the roof at this house. We had two dangerous ways; the first was passing on plastic roof tiles, it was dangerous because we could break them and open a big whole in the ceiling; and the second way was making a parkour jump from the stairs to a window without glass, it was dangerous too because between the stairs and the window had a empty space, we could fall down like two floors. Anyway, we enjoyed the adrenaline rush.
One day, walking on the roofs of our neighborhood, we tried to go into an abandoned house. It was easy because its windows had no glass. So, we went into it and played until the moment I saw something weird in a wall with holes. These holes weren't caused by deterioration, it was a design with square holes. And when we went to investigate what thing was in these holes, we were shocked. These things were dried rabbit legs! There were a lot!
We returned at home running on the roofs, so scared. And maybe, it was a lesson to not go into a strangers' houses.

more natural-sounding
We went togeteverywhere to everything.gether.
The original was understandable but a bit unusual, while this is more common.
We lived in a house that our grand father built, so it was built like a Tetris game.
probably we would more usually see "like a game of Tetris"
I don't know why, but we loved to go overn the roof at thisat house.
or "the"
"this" is understandable, but less common with something far away in the past
We had two dangerous ways; the first was passing on plastic roof tiles, and/but it was dangerous because we could break them and open a big whole in the ceiling; and the second way was making a parkour jump from the stairs to a window without glass, and it was dangerous too because between the stairs and the window hadwas an empty space, we could fall down like two floors.
The semicolon functions kind of like a period with regard to the idea that everything after it should be able to form a complete sentence if the first part before the semicolon were to be removed.
Also, if the next word after "a" starts with a vowel sound, then it has to be changed to "an" to introduce a break between the sounds for example:
a big dog uses "a"
while
an enormous dog uses "an" because "enormous" begins with the long e vowel sound.
Anyway, we enjoyed the adrenaline rush.

The original leaves it a bit ambiguous whether the weird thing had holes or the wall did. The suggestion removes the ambiguity.
These holes weren't caused by deterioration, it was a design with square holes.
And when we went to investigate what thing was in these holes, we were shocked.
These things were dried rabbit legs!
There were a lot!
We returned at home running on the roofs,; we were so scared.
"so scared" sounds a bit unusual, although the meaning is understandable.
"so scary" instead would sound more normal, but the suggestion above changes the sentence fragment to a complete sentence with a subject and predicate
also, "at" is not needed in this situation
And maybe, it was a lesson to not go into a strangers' houses.
either
"a stranger's house" or "strangers' houses"
would work
