In the courtyard, Aunt Zhang, leaning on her cane, opened the door with trembling steps.
She squinted her dim old eyes and scanned the empty courtyard.
"Which bastard came to scare people in the middle of the night?"
She muttered something and tapped the ground with her cane.
Big Black was still barking wildly, and the chains were being pulled so hard they rattled.
