In the village, Er Zhuang's barking did not initially attract any attention. After all, dogs have very sharp ears and will bark at the slightest sound.
However, when they heard human screams, they finally realized something was wrong.
In particular, Sister Tian heard it and immediately ran over. When she saw the scene in the courtyard, she was so scared that her legs turned jelly.
She finally regained some strength after thinking of her daughter, who was still inside. However, she also knew she wouldn't be of help even if she went in, so she turned around and ran to the oil mill, telling the patriarch what had happened here.
When the patriarch heard this, he knew that things were bad and immediately called out, "All workers, carry your tools and go to Gu Chengrui's house to help."
Most of the people here were from the Gu clan. When they heard this, they each found their tools and rushed out without a word.
