The old man raised his head at the sound but did not answer. Instead, he sharply questioned Ye Haoyang and the others, "Who are you people? How did you end up here?"
"Hey, you old man are amusing," Ye Rongqing remarked, "We were the ones who asked first."
"Don't you know to respect the elderly and love the young? Seeing as I'm so old, you should answer me first." The old man lifted his head, then lowered it again, looking around.
"Old man, what are you looking at?" Ye Haoyang noticed he seemed to be searching for something and recalled that the authorities would come today. Looking at the clothes he wore, they were not official attire but also not ordinary, probably indicating he was with those people.
Could it be they're still searching for the gold mine?
That place should be in trouble by now; these people should know by now that White Stripe Mountain doesn't have a gold mine. Yet, this old man came here. Could there be a new discovery?
