When Li Ye and the others were visiting the graves, the dark-faced old man left. He had been assigned by the village to watch over the hillside, usually staying in that shack. If anyone came to steal corn, he would come out and holler, playing the cat that scared off rats.

After they had burned the paper offerings and paid their respects, Li Ye asked Fu Guiru, "Mother, are we leaving now, or should I make a trip into the village for you?"

Fu Guiru looked at Li Ye, nodded, and said, "Then go to the village for me! Thank Old Cantaloupe. Thank Uncle Chen for me."

"Got it~"

Li Ye packed up their things, then rode with Wen Leyu and his Older Sister Li Yue in one car to the dark-faced old man's shack. First, he slipped the man a carton of cigarettes.

"Sir, we want to go into the village to thank Old Cantaloupe. Could you lead us there?"

"Oh? Your relative doesn't know the way?"

"She had something to do and left first. It's just us siblings and my wife."

"Oh~"

The dark-faced old man gave Li Ye a look, nodded, climbed into Li Ye's sedan, and led them all the way to West Gully Village.

Older Sister Li Yue revealed her identity: sales manager of Pengcheng Factory Seven and senior management at Fenghua Apparel. Right there on the spot, she donated three hundred yuan to the village primary school and subtly let slip that her husband was a section chief at the Central Election Department in the capital.
