Old Man Liu came up to the main road from a side path, his mind racing with unease.
Considering the favors he had received from He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie before, he felt obligated to warn them so that they could be prepared, lest Qi Jianguo really resorted to killing and arson, leading to irrevocable disaster.
Old Man Liu turned his cart around and drove his ox-cart in the direction of Qijia Village.
All along the way, he didn't encounter Qi Jianguo. Either Qi Jianguo hadn't come to Qijia Village or he had already entered the village.
Old Man Liu drove his ox-cart into the village and soon arrived at Third Grandma Qi's doorstep, when suddenly he smelled gasoline and immediately realized something was wrong. He rushed to bang on the door, shouting, "Quick, open the door, Third Auntie, I've come to see you."
He Tiantian heard the noise and came out to open the door, surprised, "Grandpa Liu, what brings you here so late? Is something wrong?"
