"It turns out Granny Sha and the others have always been guarding the surroundings."
Ah Zhuo silently thought to himself, "No wonder the bees have been restless lately, sensing that fugitives are nearby."

Auntie Ah Ying, holding a kitchen knife, said sternly, "Come with me, and explain just what good deeds you've been up to while outside these years!"
Ah Zhuo hung his head, following her into the house.
His cries of agony emanated from the inner room as Auntie Ah Ying continued to interrogate him under duress.
Chen Shi, Qiao Hu, and Qiao Wei stood outside the courtyard, listening to the noise inside, filled with worry.
