Reconstruction

The sun's bright rays shone above all of us as we slowly moved forward. The many peddlers along the path we crossed were surprised at first to see me dragging two almost dead bodies behind me using a chain wrapped around their ankles, but soon, after asking around, and knowing the reason why, and why everyone was calmly and quietly following me, they too joined the group.

After all, the promise of labor and food is more than any of these people had hoped to get.

Surprisingly, many peddlers came, and they all came from different locations, and after asking around, not all of them came from the same place. Some came due to the drought, and the others the complete opposite, as they had their whole town flooded overnight.

It took many hours on foot to finally arrive at Lucid Springs, and there I found Wu Fan had done what I asked and had rounded up everyone available for work.
