"How long have you been waiting?" Wu Er, carrying a hoe, stepped forward and patted Xiao Mingmu on the back with his free hand, saying, "It's so late, come inside with me."
Xiao Mingmu nodded first, then yawned and asked, "Senior Brother, where have you been? Why are you back so late?"
When asked about this, Wu Er pursed his lips and said, "Oh, I encountered some minor troubles on the way, which delayed me a bit."
He didn't mention being attacked, but rather gave a vague answer.

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Mingmu's mouth was covered by Wu Er.
