Chương 843: Chapter 844 Waiting for the Opportunity

Meng Xinian's first act upon returning home was, of course, to deal with those two individuals.

He paid special attention to the one who was critically injured.

Only then did Ge Liutao heave a sigh of relief and directed Chiang Songhai to break a small bunch of pomegranate branches to soak in water for cleansing the courtyard.

It was said by the older generations that doing so could ward off evil spirits and bad luck.

No one stopped the elders from seeking peace of mind by these means.

Meng Xinian made another call back to the Capital City to reassure Old Meng of his well-being. He did not detail his injuries, but Old Meng still found out about the severity of his wounds on the third day.
