"Aunties, why don't you think back? Did you notice when that evil person sneaked into the village?" Ye Muyu said.
Madam Qian added, "Such a big stranger appeared in the village, and we didn't even know. This is similar to the thief who appeared before the Dragon Boat Festival. It seems that we have to pay more attention to strangers coming and going in the future. It's too scary."
"I really didn't notice…" Chu An's wife, Madam Zheng, frowned. She thought about it carefully and shook her head gently. "Strangers come to deliver goods from time to time at the bridgehead. We all live in the village. We haven't gone out for a long time except to buy a pot of soy sauce at the bridgehead."
Madam Zheng was telling the truth. The Chu family left their homes even less often because of the national filial piety rule and the promise they made to Chu Heng.
