Rustle, rustle, rustle…
Outside the window, the rain was pouring. There was a commotion outside, and it was buzzing like a busy market.
"Don't dawdle!"
"Hurry up!"
Ye Jingtang opened his eyes and pushed open the side window in his cabin. The first thing he saw was a large ship filled with goods. There were a few stewards of merchant families on the ship, instructing the laborers to cover the goods. It looked like the wind at night had blown open the oilcloth.
He leaned out of the window to take a look. He could see that the merchant ship had already docked. On the right was the dock's riverbank. It was raining, but the dock was still crowded with people. Carriages and ox carts full of goods were almost blocking the traffic. Behind the dock was a large town.
