The cover of the cellar is now open.
If I'm not mistaken, last night the girl was likely shoved into the cellar by her mother, which is how she avoided a calamity.
When she saw Ye Guichen, the girl immediately stopped crying.
Ye Guichen approached, forcing a small smile: "It's all right now. Uncle is here, it's all right."
The girl, seeing no malice in Ye Guichen, let her tears roll down like broken pearls: "Uncle, uncle, it was so scary, last night, so scary!"
Ye Guichen nodded, picked up the girl, glanced at the corpses on the ground, said nothing further, and turned to leave.
Just as he stepped out, a shadow flickered outside.
A hoe came smashing down towards his head.
Bam!
It struck solidly on the top of Ye Guichen's head.
But it was only an ordinary hoe and did Ye Guichen no harm at all.
