The next day, Qin Mu was awakened by the commotion made by the villagers and went to ask around. Only then did he know that the night watchman had died last night, scaring the villagers.
They had already been frightened once by the huge snake that had come out from the tree Qin Mu had chopped. Never did they expect the night watchman to die such a gruesome death in the dead of night, causing them to panic.
The couple from yesterday brought a plate which had a red cloth laid on it. On the top of the red cloth were some gifts, "Midwife, little brother, we are a poor family and have nothing much to offer. You must accept this."
Qin Mu was about to reject when Blind cut in, "Accept them, Mu’er. Don't keep them feeling that they owe you."
Qin Mu properly kept the few items and bid goodbye to the couple. The man smiled, "With such exceptional ability, little brother would definitely become a dragon or phoenix in the world!"
