Song Yi and his group walked quickly and didn't even look back at her.
Jhiang Yuan didn't run because she feared not seeing the two children, which could arouse suspicion from Zhang Kaiyang and Fan Qing.
Lately, she planned to find a secluded corner and say that was where they were waiting.
Soon, they began to ascend a slope.
This side was directly beneath Half Moon Lake; the slope was exceedingly steep.
Jhiang Yuan looked to the side and faintly discerned there was still a path.
This flat stretch above must have been cleared by the villagers.
This path must also have been worn down by use.
She took out a hiking stick and began to climb upwards.
Over there, people had already reached the deep ditch.
Don't ask how she knew; it was because those on the other side had stopped moving and just stood there watching.
They must have reached the place, and she also had to pick up her pace.
Soon, she caught up with them.
"Sister Yuan, you came too?"
