Following close behind, there were more and more houses. Seeing these houses, Xiao Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he was really a bit tired from the trek; such a steep mountain, it was as if Xiao Yifei had climbed straight from the mountain's foot to its peak. Wouldn't you be tired too?
But being able to find what he was searching for, Xiao Yifei felt it was worth it. At this moment, the old man beside him spoke, "Come in and sit for a while. You must be tired." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei quickly nodded and followed the old man inside. Once inside, Xiao Yifei glanced around. As expected, it was the standard rural setup, but Xiao Yifei didn't mind.
After gulping down a big bowl of water, Xiao Yifei suddenly asked the old man where his wife was, because living alone could be quite lonely. However, hearing Xiao Yifei's question, the old man shook his head helplessly and said, "My wife passed away last year."
