Soon, the tantalizing aroma of barbecue filled Chu Family Village.
Huang Xiaolong and the others were devouring the juicy, fragrant, and golden-brown grilled meats, relishing every bite.
In the meantime, Old Master Chu, looking somewhat nervous and worried, came with his clansfolk to apologize. He had a vague sense that something wasn't right in the village and was instinctively seeking some protection from Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong brushed him off casually and sent him away with his entourage.
This feast went on till dusk. Everyone was full and satiated, and dinner was no longer required. Huang Xiaolong didn't mention leaving Chu Family Village, so no one else objected.
Old Master Chu made arrangements, freeing up several village houses, and settled Huang Xiaolong and his companions.
Since Huang Xiaolong had come to celebrate Old Master Chu's birthday as Chu Tingting's boyfriend, he was arranged to share a room with Chu Tingting.
