Perhaps the commotion outside caught the attention of the people at the mountain gate. At this moment, an old granny carrying a wooden basin of clothes came back from the riverbank opposite. She saw the two strangers, Huo Sining and Gu Xu, standing outside the mountain gate and paused, looking at them with confusion.
But when the old granny's gaze fell on Qibao, her eyes brightened quickly, and she shouted with delight, "Qibao?"
Upon hearing this, Qibao looked up towards the voice, and upon seeing a familiar person, he immediately shouted, "Third Aunt!"
"It's really you, child!"
The old granny put the wooden basin on the stone path, hurried a few steps forward to greet them, opened the mountain gate, and smiled, "I thought my old eyes were failing me, that I'd mistaken you. In over a year, you've grown taller and dressed so nicely that your Aunt almost didn't recognize you!"
