Before Ya Molian could finish saying 'okay', the two heard a muffled grunt from the courtyard, followed by the voices of Zhe Jue and a few others.
"What's happening?"
Lin Caisang stood up from his lap and looked towards the door.
"Let's go take a look," Ya Molian took her hand and led her out.
By the time they reached the courtyard, Zhe Jue and the others were already standing there, a group of men surrounding something on the ground and muttering among themselves.
"Cripes, it's a young girl!"
One of them bent down to turn the person over and, under the moonlight, they saw a girl whose face had turned yellow and body thin from hunger.
"Why would a young girl run into these deep woods?" Zhe Jue couldn't help but question.
At this late hour, did this girl swallow a leopard's gall to dare come into the deep woods? Wasn't she afraid of being snatched away by wild beasts?
