At this time, the pursuers had arrived, pushed open the door of the house, and asked the old woman, if someone had come to your house, the old woman said no, the pursuers played lanterns, searched all over the front and back of the house, and did not find the ground, and the pursuers left, just like that, the old woman saved Liu Xiu's life.
