Zuo Xingyu returned home, dragging his extremely exhausted body.
The Zuo Family's house was located on a slope outside South Mountain Village, not far from the county. It neighbored Liu Family's Mansion and was a small thatched hut with three rooms.
At the moment, it was already late at night. Apart from a few distant barks, the families nearby had already fallen into dreamland.
A few steps away from the thatched hut, Zuo Xingyu couldn't help but quicken his pace towards home.
"Yu Er, is...is that you? You've come home?"
A voice, old and kind, inquired.
"Mom, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Xingyu hurriedly quickened his pace to help the elderly woman, turning towards the direction of the thatched hut.
The elderly woman reached out for his hand, steadying herself. Her heart finally found some relief.
