After asking a few people along the way, Chen Miao found the direction of the cemetery he wanted to visit.
When he learned it was some distance away, he quickened his pace.
There were more horse-drawn carriages on the road than Chen Miao had seen in Jiangya County Town, but walking was still commonplace.
Perhaps because the Prefecture City's grand feng shui formation meant there was no need to fear traveling at night, most pedestrians were in no particular hurry. Some even wore smiles.
Chen Miao had barely been walking briskly for long when someone approached him.
A carriage slowed down, and a middle-aged man inside lifted the curtain and cupped his hands. "Sir, would you care for a ride?"
Chen Miao paused, only then remembering that he was still wearing his "work uniform."
"I'm going to Green Mountain Cemetery. Is that on your way?"
The middle-aged man's expression visibly stiffened for a moment, but in the end, he still said, "It is."
Chen Miao paid it no mind. Since it was on the way, he might as well go along.
Once aboard, Chen Miao discovered that the middle-aged man seemed to enjoy his comforts.
There was even a small table inside the modest carriage.
"My name is Fu Yun, from Wanning Town in Cangzhou Prefecture. May I ask your name, sir?"
"Chen Yang."
"Sir Chen!"
Fu Yun cupped his hands, then pushed the pastries on the table toward Chen Miao.
"It's still some distance to Green Mountain Cemetery. If you're tired, sir, feel free to rest."
Chen Miao looked at the food on the table, smiled, and cupped his hands.
"Thank you, then."
With that, Chen Miao picked up a pastry and began eating at his leisure while watching the scenery outside.
As for Fu Yun?
