Setting Off to Beiming
Editor: Exodus Tales
Setting off from Tianyun City's north gate, then going east from the main street, after proceeding for ten miles, Lu Mingshu reached a ferry crossing.
There was footpath made out of pebbles leading to a bamboo forest, covering the waters slightly. A simple stone slab in unadorned colours showed how long it had stayed at this ferry crossing; more than a thousand years. It had been washed into this colour by time.
The morning mist had dispersed by now, and the sound of horse-trotting got closer. At the end of the footpath, a girl on a horse galloped toward the ferry crossing.
"Little Daze, we are here!" A clear voice could be heard. The horse raised its front hoof up high and stopped in time, landing exactly where the rider wanted.
Lu Mingshu got down from Little Daze and looked around the ferry crossing.
It was a peaceful river, clear water rippling, but not a single ferry could be seen, and there wasn't anyone around.
