"Where are the people?"
Erhei and Mazi both drew their knives and looked around vigilantly.
Su Man shrank back and said, "I just passed by here, and suddenly saw a dark shadow flash by. At first I thought it was an illusion, but that person appeared out of nowhere, as if he wanted to kill me to silence me."
Having said that, Suman put down her hand, revealing her cut arm.
"It was only because I shouted for help that he was scared away."
Seeing the bloody scene, Erhei and Mazi did not doubt Su Man.

Erhei made a quick decision and said, "Go and inform the brothers to guard the place tightly and not let anyone pass. I'll go find Military Advisor Yuan and tell him about this."

Su Man went in. Wei Ma waved at her with a smile and pointed at the small basin on the table. "Madam, come and sit down. Here are the sweet potatoes we roasted this morning."
When Honggu saw Suman, he lifted his butt and went into the kitchen.
Su Man looked around, "Where are the uncle and the little brother?"
Wei's mother was eating sweet potatoes and blew on her red, burned fingers. "Old He went to empty the swill. I guess my little brother went out to play somewhere."
Su Man's mind moved, "Pour out the swill, are we going down the mountain?"
"Yeah, otherwise it would smell really bad when it gets hot."
