Jinghan and Wenxuan didn't go out today either, but led their two puppies around the ginseng field, keeping an eye on any movements outside. Everyone was exhausted last night, fearing that someone might exploit the situation today.
Fortunately, by noon the wind had completely stopped and people from the village had arrived, which reassured everyone. Chief Zhou came with some folks to check on the ginseng field. "Zhixin, you all must have worked hard, not sleeping all night, right?"
"You bet, the whole night was like ghost wailing and wolves howling; how could we dare to sleep? And only because the weather was so bad that no one dared to come up the mountain. Otherwise, it would've been tight," Zhixin said, shuddering at the thought. If someone had taken advantage of last night's chaos, they might have suffered quite a loss. But he figured that no one would dare come out in such weather looking for trouble.
