The house where Hannah lives is just one of them, it comes with a courtyard, its fence haphazardly stacked with mud and bricks.
Perhaps this is a demonstration of the locals' simple lifestyle.
Matthew Quach pushed open the gate of the courtyard to leave.
The wooden door creaked, as if startling something. A black shadow flashed through the roadside bushes, quickly disappearing from sight.
Matthew thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but looking closely, under the dim street light, he could indeed see an ambiguous figure that quickly slithered back into the roadside shrubbery.
The figure disappeared completely.
But even so, it startled George Quach.
The production team of nearly a hundred people started searching around, fearing any ill-intentioned person hiding nearby.
By the time Hannah came out, George had already fetched the village chief.
