Chapter 20: 【020】I want to learn Lightweight Skill
After releasing all the dogs from the truck, the monk didn’t linger and soon left due to matters at the temple.
Although the abandoned mountain top gave Wang Longhu a sense of unease, the dogs didn’t mind at all. Without human presence, the deserted wilderness was their playground.
They didn’t need to fear being driven away or worry about passing vehicles; they could play freely across the hills and fields.
Ignoring the pack of stray dogs in their new environment, Wang Longhu stepped onto the stairs and headed towards his grandmother’s house.
Originally, there were sixteen households here at the mountain top, which gradually moved away. In Wang Longhu’s last memory, after his grandmother left, only three elders remained.
To his surprise, during the two years he was away, even the last holdouts had vanished, leaving only abandoned and uninhabited houses behind.
Wang Longhu’s grandmother’s house was built at the highest point on the slope. The concrete construction meant that despite being uninhabited, the roof wouldn’t blow off and be left open.
The windows and front door were in good condition, undamaged and unbroken, allowing him to move in without any repairs.
Looking at the wide-open yard outside and the overgrown woods behind the house, Wang Longhu nodded in satisfaction. Compared to his own home, this place offered more space for activities.
Wang Longhu retrieved the secret family stash of keys hidden above the doorframe and opened the wooden door, immediately faced with a pungent smell of mold and dust.
This place hadn’t seen visitors for too long. Every piece of furniture and the concrete floors in the living room were covered with thick dust, and cobwebs filled every corner, housing insect carcasses.
