Perhaps infected by the old man's words, the old woman also burst into tears, sobbing as she said, "Back then, I did blame you, but later I realized what was really going on. I wanted to leave the stronghold to find you, but I didn't know how. Then my mother fell ill, and I couldn't leave anymore. I never blamed you, but didn't expect I would wait until now..."
As she spoke, the old woman's cries grew louder, her multitude of grievances seemingly found an outlet, as she leaned on the old man and cried bitterly, crying uncontrollably for a moment...
Upon hearing the old woman's words, the old man suddenly realized what had happened, filled with regret. He hadn't expected that such an occurrence arose from his feelings of guilt. If he hadn't been so troubled back then and returned to the White Bamboo Stronghold once, none of this would have happened.
Oh, how he regretted his past actions!
