As night fell, the area in front of the memorial hall was brightly lit, with music playing non-stop, occasionally interspersed with cries.
A large group of people arrived at the entrance to the village path of Lin Family Manor; it was the Sun Family from Dafeng Village accompanied by their gathered friends and relatives.
Lin Mengjin, holding a fish spear, led a group of young and strong men from the Lin Clan to block the road, fiercely glaring at the newcomers, "What are you doing here? What brings you to our manor at night?"
"Where have you taken my Sanlang? Release him immediately!" cried an old woman from the crowd, her voice more bravado than she felt.
"What does your Dalang or Sanlang have to do with us? We didn't capture anyone nor did we see anyone! Get lost, stop bringing trouble here!"
Lin Mengjin resolutely denied knowing anything, firmly refusing to admit they had taken anyone.
