Aoli Village lies to the north, specifically at the foot of a nearby mountain, where several thatched cottages stand; one of which used to be home to Old Man Loh, his wife, and their granddaughter Loh Xue. However, from today onward, only Old Man Loh and his wife would remain.
"Was it not found, or has it already been..."
Gazing at his tearful, heartbroken wife, Old Man Loh, holding back his own pain, moved his lips and finally spoke.
His voice sounded extremely harsh, every word permeated with sorrow and grief.
"I... I left him right there, but when I went back to look, there was nothing in the bushes... Do you think he might have..."
The old lady speaking was Old Man Loh’s wife, named Li Qinfang. The elderly couple had weathered many storms together until today, never having quarreled or raised their voices about anything, except for their granddaughter.
Their bond was indeed very strong.
But it was because of their granddaughter, a rift had formed over the past year, even leading to almost a fallout before dawn today.
It wasn’t until Old Lady Li said she would go and find the child born to their granddaughter that the atmosphere between them had somewhat eased.
Unexpectedly, more than an hour later, Old Lady Li returned home pale-faced, empty-handed, wiping her tears.
Upon seeing this, Old Man Loh felt his heart sink instantly.
Yet, after a long while, he still held onto the last strand of hope, wanting to hear what he wished from his wife, but alas, the hope was in vain.
"Were there any bloodstains around?"
