As the two returned to the village, before they reached their front door, they sensed something was amiss.
Outside their home were numerous footprints, and the yard inside was eerily quiet. Normally, at this time, a fire would have already been kindled, yet the chimney was not smoking…
"What's this?" Dong Huiying's heart skipped a beat, immediately sensing trouble.
At that moment, a sneaky old woman poked her head out from the courtyard across the way. She glanced at Dong Huiying warily, then hastily called out to Zhi Chen, who was lost in thought. "Eldest lad, eldest lad? Come here, quick!"
Zhi Chen turned around and bowed to the old woman.
Old Lady Gao had watched the Liang Family Brothers grow up. When they were young and the family was pitiful, Old Lady Gao often helped them out. As they grew and came into their abilities, they too began to reciprocate her kindness. For instance, Liang Haoming and Liang Yuening would bring a portion of their hunting spoils to the Gao Family.
