The old woman was busy in the house, glancing at Fang Qingyue from time to time with a hint of pity and concern in her eyes, but she still didn't say much.
Outside the window, the mountain wind made the leaves rustle, and the afterglow of dusk shone through the dilapidated window lattice onto Fang Qingyue's face, bringing a rare sense of tranquility.
