The door of the old lady's house was closed, and at this moment the old lady turned her head to look at Tia.

Tia knew that the old lady was still upset, so she didn't stay any longer. She just licked her lips, swallowed her saliva, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing Tia's expression, the old lady's wariness that had just risen suddenly dissipated. "Forget it, come in and have a drink of water."

Tia stood there, seemingly struggling, but quickly agreed.

"Thank you."

The old lady opened the door and took Tia inside.

Tia was afraid of causing the old lady's disgust again, so she simply didn't look around and just followed obediently.

When the old lady saw Tia coming in, also looking so well-behaved, she felt a sense of guilt in her heart. Was she too wary?

"Mom, why did you come back just now? I just got home from get off work and heard a group of people making a fuss about what happened. You didn't come back for a long time, so I thought something happened to you too."

A sturdy man walked out of the house with an anxious look on his face.

"No, I just walked a little slowly. They were making a fuss, and I was afraid it would be bad if I left too early, so I hid for a while and waited until things settled down before coming out."

The old lady walked in cheerfully, pulling Tia along as she spoke, "This little girl is so kind, she even sent me back."

The old lady's son was a little confused when he saw Tia, but now he felt relieved after hearing the old lady's explanation.

"Sorry to bother you today, little girl." The man moved a chair for the old lady and asked her to sit down first.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Tia waved her hand.

"Pour the little girl a glass of water. She just accompanied me back and talked all the way." The old lady patted her legs and told the man to pour water.

The man was also quick and quick, quickly pouring a glass of water and handing it over. "Thank you, little girl. Where is your home? How about I take you back?"

"No, no, I just heard the recent rumors and I'm feeling uneasy. I'm planning to do some good deeds. After I leave you guys, I plan to go see if there's anyone who needs help. After all, I have a younger brother at home."

Tia became embarrassed as she spoke, her face flushing slightly.

"I see. Some things have indeed happened recently, but it's better for you to stay at home, little girl. After all, the riots broke out today. If anything really happens to you, your brother will have to come out to rescue you."

The man said a few more words because Tia came out for her brother's sake.

"Is that so..." Tia lowered her head as if she felt guilty for not thinking of this matter. "Okay, I'll be back soon. I've already drunk the water. Thank you, old lady. I'll be back now. Thank you."

"Aren't you going to sit down and rest for a while?" The old lady withdrew her gaze towards the inner room and asked with concern.

"No, no, what the uncle said makes sense. If he's so worried about grandma, my family and you will be worried about me too. I'd better go back early. I didn't think it through."

Tia sat up straight, as if she suddenly understood.

"Well, we won't stop you. Just go and see the girl off." The old lady stood up with the help of a chair.

"Old lady, please sit down and rest. I can walk by myself." Tia said as she walked towards the door, looking around quickly.

After reaching the door, Tia pushed it open and walked out. When she turned around and closed the door, Tia saw the look in the man's eyes as he looked at her.

As if he didn't expect to look at each other, the man was stunned for a moment and then nodded and smiled.

Tia also nodded slightly, closed the door completely, then walked away step by step, and then walked back quietly.

Sure enough, a new conversation could be heard in the yard, "How is Xiaobei today?"

"What else can I do? It's still the same!" The man said with a hint of impatience. "They all say this new god is good, and you go there to pray every day, and you don't do any housework. Although the income was small before, it was still something. Now there is no subsidy at all, and I have to rely on myself to make money."

"I'm just thinking that if I get chosen, then the person who was chosen first will be cured, right?"

There was a hint of flattery in the old lady's tone of voice.

"So much has happened in the past two days. You'd better not go out tomorrow and just stay home and do your chores." The man's tone softened a bit. "Mom has gotten into this kind of trouble now, and it's such a big deal. It doesn't seem like something an ordinary person would do. You'd better stay home and do your chores for a few days."

"I think it's okay. The little girl today looks delicate and tender. She doesn't look like someone who has done any rough work. It feels weird." The old lady muttered softly, and suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be that those people weren't dead at all, but were trafficked? How could so many young people suddenly die? But if they were trafficked, it would make sense. No one would kidnap the elderly and children."

The man sighed helplessly, "Mom, stop guessing. The person I went to see yesterday is really dead."

The old lady shook her head and sighed again.

Tia listened to the conversation inside completely disappearing and left.

Anyway, the old lady won't go to pray during this period, so the guy named Xiaobei shouldn't be in any danger.

Thinking back on what she had just observed, there was nothing special in the old lady's yard. Her house could be considered an ordinary one. It was just that the old lady was very alert, so she was extra cautious towards her.

After solving the problem of this family, Tia called Mo Mo to take him to several other families.

Tia used all kinds of excuses to get this group of people to stay at home and not go out to pray for the next few days.

When we finally got back to the warehouse, everyone else had already returned.

"You're finally back. We were so worried!" Fina rushed over to Tia when she saw her coming back.

Tia also stood firm and held the person firmly.

"I almost thought something happened to you. Why did you go out suddenly?" Gisele was a little worried. After all, Tia's face had appeared in front of many people.

"Fina and I went out to take a look. There are too many people patrolling the streets today, so it is not convenient to pass on messages. We have to think of a new way." Juno was relieved to see someone coming back and reported today's progress.

"Yeah, every time we were about to start a conversation, there would be someone next to us. It was so scary!" Fina also complained.
