Behind me was the sound of the stall owner swallowing nervously after the fright, "I didn't know... she... is your... daughter-in-law..."
This stall owner was probably terrified by Yu Longting...
Yu Longting knocked on the old door panel for a while, and finally, it creaked open from the inside.
The man who opened the door was middle-aged, clad in a dusty work jacket over a faded set of thermal underwear, "Do you guests wish to stay for the night?"
"Hello, sir, we need to see Granny Long for an urgent matter," I nodded politely to the man.
The middle-aged man lifted a lantern to illuminate our faces, "Granny Long is out on an errand, please come back another day."
"Where has Granny Long gone? When will she be back?" My heart burned with urgency. It couldn't be such a coincidence that we needed Granny Long's help and she was nowhere to be found.
Could we really be encountering such unfortunate luck?
The man's face remained expressionless, "I have nothing to disclose."
