The mountain behind Yongping Village isn't very high, and as Mrs. Lai Sr. and Er Laizi entered the forest, the Qi Family, leading the way, was already nearing the halfway mark.
The dense forest surrounding them nearly blocked out all the daylight.
At that moment, Qi Manman, who was in the basket on her mother's back, suddenly patted her mother's shoulder: "Mom, stop."
Yi Meng was already exhausted and breathless, so she stopped when she heard the voice.
When she stopped, others followed suit, and eventually, the villagers bringing up the rear also halted.
Yi Meng thought her daughter wanted to relieve herself, so she set the basket down.
Mrs. Qi hurried over to help.
"Shh, tell everyone to be quiet."
Qi Manman put her chubby finger to her lips, signaling for silence.
Mrs. Qi instinctively exchanged a glance with Yi Meng, both of them looking tense.
The young girl asking them to be quiet now, could it be something was about to happen again?
