Aoli Village lies to the north, specifically at the foot of a nearby mountain, where several thatched cottages stand; one of which used to be home to Old Man Loh, his wife, and their granddaughter Loh Xue. However, from today onward, only Old Man Loh and his wife would remain.
"Was it not found, or has it already been..."
Gazing at his tearful, heartbroken wife, Old Man Loh, holding back his own pain, moved his lips and finally spoke.
His voice sounded extremely harsh, every word permeated with sorrow and grief.
"I... I left him right there, but when I went back to look, there was nothing in the bushes... Do you think he might have..."
The old lady speaking was Old Man Loh's wife, named Li Qinfang. The elderly couple had weathered many storms together until today, never having quarreled or raised their voices about anything, except for their granddaughter.
Their bond was indeed very strong.
