Nan Yu and the others had no idea when the onlookers in the village had dispersed. They also didn't know when Nan Dashu had left. By the time they finished lunch and Nan Yu headed to Third Uncle’s house with Third Uncle and Third Aunt to retrieve the lynx, the doorway was already deserted.
Third Uncle was so reluctant to part with the lynx! He petted the lynx for a long while, then stroked the three cubs and the two tiger cubs, before finally seeing Nan Yu off with lingering attachment.
As Nan Yu made his way home, sauntering along with the lynx and the two tiger cubs, he heard villagers gossiping that Nan Dashu had left the village. No one knew where he was headed, but Nan Yu suspected that since Nan Dashu had realized there was no hope for the four siblings, he was planning to bring Li Guihua back home. He had to secure at least one base, otherwise, he would end up with nothing. But that had nothing to do with the four of them; as long as Nan Dashu didn't provoke them again, Nan Yu couldn't be bothered with his messy affairs.
