Village Planning (2)

Ryu wrapped the men in a sack and dragged them towards the cave, where work on the Sect's outer wall was underway. 

The workers greeted Ryu respectfully, and some even offered to help him carry the sacks, but he kindly refused. Ryu walked into the cave's open entrance, where Qiulong slept soundly. She woke up for a brief moment when she noticed a presence; however, after confirming that it was just Ryu, she yawned and went back to sleep.

Ryu gave a wry laugh at being ignored but kept moving deeper into the cave until he reached a small pathway split into three distinct paths. Each direction had a temporary wooden door built to seal the areas, showing that these places were off-limits.

Ryu opened the unlocked wooden door to the left, leading to a small open area. He placed the unconscious bodies there, then headed towards the opposite door. However, Ryu knocked on the door this time and then waited patiently.
