Caught off guard, Manager Mu screamed in fright and turned to run, shouting as he ran, "A ghost! A ghost!"
Xiao An frowned, watching the man run away and biting her finger: Had she done something wrong by opening the door? But her older brother and sister were farming in the backyard and wouldn't hear the knocking.
Black Gold poked its head out from behind him, baring its teeth at the outside: if that man had dared to barge into the yard, it would have gouged out his eyes with one claw.
After a while, Song Liyun and Song Zhenping realized that someone had come to knock on the door, but they were scared away by Xiao An and Hei Jin.
“Brother, it must be Boss Mu. Let’s go to town and ask.” Song Liyun cleaned the dirt off herself and said to Song Zhenping.

Song Liyun took out a cotton hat with a frayed edge from her bosom and said with a smile, "Boss Mu, I'm sorry, it was my little brother who opened the door today. Were you scared by this cotton hat?"
Shopkeeper Mu glanced at it: round, with black fur, somewhat like it, yet not quite... The thought of that big mouth sent a chill down his spine.
Song Liyun simply shook the beanie once before pulling it back into her arms, and said calmly, "Mr. Mu must be seeing things. Don't overthink it. How much acorn tofu do you want?"
