"No, don't go back to the inn. Stay here."
Guide Ma Kui seemed to have sensed something. He looked at Wang Tang solemnly and said in a low voice, "I don't know what you saw, but I can pretty much guess it wasn't anything good."
"It's noon right now, so the restaurant is crowded, and there are even more people on the streets. The weather is fairly warm too."
"Let's stay here and wait until this afternoon before going back."
In Wang Tang's eyes, Ma Kui's words had been vague, but their meaning was actually very clear. At the very least, the other man knew he had seen something unclean.

"When that happens, you must stay somewhere crowded. The livelier, the better. Whatever you do, don't stay alone."
