In those years, carriages did not have a shock absorption feature. Traveling on rough mountain roads, Su Pan'er felt as if her body was falling apart, that every part of her was aching.
As soon as the business team arrived in a small town, she wished to leave the carriage and continue by foot.
Others in the carriage, noticing that they arrived at a place where they could rest, were chatty with excitement.
Peering through the lifted curtain, Su Pan'er observed the surroundings. Everywhere was bathed in green, with houses of green bricks and stones stacked on each other, orderly yet distinctive.
The streets were bustling with people. Despite its late time, everyone hurried about, making the town seem lively.
The town might have been small, but it had everything one could need. Taverns, tearooms, textile stores, brothels, and more. Street vendors were scattered everywhere, their noisy chatter filled the air.
The business team stopped before an inn with a weathered curtain.
