Baby Zetty was a little stunned. What on earth did she look like right now that the villagers did not even recognize her?
The man in a black wolf mask looked at Baby Zetty suspiciously. "Are you not from around here?"
Baby Zetty shrieked out inwardly.
It would not be good if the villagers recognized her as Boye's apprentice, but it would undoubtedly be even worse if the villagers could not recognize her at all.
After all, it was strange for an old foreign lady to appear at this sort of place.
Baby Zetty could only bite the bullet and spit out a lie a s she switched to an unrelated topic. "Have you people seen my granddaughter? She's tall, slender, and very pretty. One would even say that she's gentle and kind too... We live way over there...." She pointed toward the distant mountains with her finger.
The villagers showed a somewhat astonished expression.
Among the villagers, there was a child who looked about 15 to 16 years old. He looked relatively thin, yet his eyes were as dark as the night sky. He was looking at Baby Zetty with a bright gaze.
When Baby Zetty was trying to sell her story, the boy's jewel-like eyes showed a somewhat invisible smile.
He suddenly stood up and walked up to Baby Zetty in a panic. He held onto her arm and said, "Granny, how did you even come down the mountain? Does Uncle know that you came here?”
Baby Zetty was startled.
She could not recover her senses as she looked at the bright and handsome boy.
When did she have such a big grandson?
The boy pinched her arm and Baby Zetty quickly came back to her senses. She was suddenly huffing from anger and lifted her wooden stick in her hand to hit the boy while scolding him, "Where the hell have you been, Lil Lou? Granny has been looking for you for a long time! You ran away from home so long ago. Don't you know the way home?!"
