The timing of that sound was too uncanny.
It perfectly aligned with Su Qing's words.
Chun Ya, not much of a brave soul, shrank a little and moved closer to Zhu Jiao: "Mi-Miss, could it be a man-eating flower devouring someone?"
Zhu Jiao was also a bit scared: "N-No, that's impossible! Ye City has no such flowers."
The rest of the group was somewhat alarmed too.
Su Qing was taken aback, dismissing it with a wave: "It couldn't be, probably just a coincidence! It could be the wind…"
As soon as he finished his sentence, the wailing sound escalated, with a clamor in the background.
After listening closely, Su Qing said: "There's an argument ahead, it isn't any man-eating flower. Let's go check it out!"
He spurred his horse forward. Zhu Jiao, too, noticed the sound of a woman arguing with someone, sobbing intermittently.
Could it be a lady from some household being wronged?
Zhu Jiao also urged her horse closer.
Soon, they clearly saw the scene ahead.
