Joining the Fray

Old Hu was enjoying another peaceful day.

But just now, a bolt of lightning thundered in this bright weather, startling him.

"It's such a nice day outside, why is there lightning?" Old Hu mumbled as he looked up to the sky. He saw no dark clouds.

What puzzled Old Hu, even more, was how the four odd customers immediately stood up.

The scholar said, "Lightning during bright weather is definitely strange. Should we go and take a look?"

One of them answered, "Curator says to wait here. Scholar, don't be nosy."

"I beg to differ!" the scholar retorted. "I say, Old Black, think about it. If Curator's disciple never shows up, do we keep waiting? There's a saying that 'plans always fall behind changes'. If something happened, we can't just sit around and keep waiting."

At this, the man called 'Old Black' seemed to thought it was reasonable too.
