Chapter 155: Beginning of Winter
In the blink of an eye, winter had arrived, marked by the season’s first snow as expected. Dense snowflakes drifted down gracefully, while the biting cold wind swept through the streets and alleys. In the "Shouzhou Prefecture," a region with a naturally cold climate due to its unique geographical location, the first snow often came as a heavy snowfall. In just one night, the entire prefectural city was blanketed in white. From a distance, it seemed as though the ancient city had been draped in a coat…-

Beneath a dim and oppressive sky stretched a barren plain. The air reeked of a nauseating mix of decay and blood, creating a stifling stench that made one’s stomach churn. A small figure, dressed in white mourning clothes and wearing a mourning cap, knelt before a tombstone. In front of them was a bamboo basket filled with paper money shaped like copper coins. The figure methodically placed the paper money before the tombstone and set it alight. Looking ahead, countless tombstones stretched endlessly…

To the south of Nu Mountain Lake flows a stream called Six-Mile Creek, which stretches for six miles, true to its name. Gu Ning’an and his group set off from Old Mountain Town around noon. By the time they reached the end of the stream, the sun was already setting. It wasn’t that their pace was particularly slow, but halfway through the journey, their donkey cart hit a rock, and one of its wheels completely fell apart. With no village ahead and no shop behind, they had no choice but to spend quite…

"Alright, enough of that. Do you think Master Gu will have trouble finding us?" "After all, we didn’t tell him where we’d be staying yesterday." Just as Han Yong finished speaking, the traveling merchant waved dismissively, unconcerned. "What’s there to worry about? Someone like Master Gu, if he wants to find us, isn’t it just a matter of calculating with his fingers?" "We’ll just wait here at ease." "Hey, look, isn’t he already here?" As he spoke, the traveling merchant waved toward Gu…

“Achoo!” The old boatman instinctively felt an itch in his nose and let out a loud sneeze. As he sat up and saw the boat docked at the shore, he immediately stood up and looked around. “Sir? Where is the gentleman?” Nearby, a middle-aged boatman waiting for passengers chuckled. “Old Liu, you sure can sleep. That gentleman left quite a while ago.” “What?” The old boatman looked confused. “Then who brought the boat back?” “Obviously, the gentleman rowed it back himself.” “Lucky…

Chapter 150: The Boat Returns
After the door closed, Han Yong walked straight past Jiang Wanzhou and shoved the traveling merchant hard. Caught off guard, the merchant staggered, and with his heels already slipping inside his loose shoes, he stumbled backward several steps before collapsing onto the bed. “Damn it!” “Han Yong, what the hell is wrong with you?!” The merchant, rubbing his bruised lower back, stared at Han Yong, utterly bewildered. "You little punk! Calling me a shorty and insulting my mother?!" Han Yong let…-

A warm breeze swept over the ocean’s surface, golden sunlight spilling onto the waves. Occasionally, the tide lapped against the shore, composing a tranquil melody. An elderly couple with graying hair sat leaning against each other by the coast. The passage of time had left its unique mark on them, and even from just their backs, one could imagine the joys, sorrows, anger, and sweetness that filled their lifetime together. “Wanzhou, you really didn’t lie to me back then. We’ve both lived to a…

Chapter 148: Dream Encounter
"Why are you alone today? Would you like me to read your fortune?" Gu Ning'an asked with a smile, looking at the burly man before him who wore a serious expression. Without responding directly, Jiang Wanzhou sat down opposite Gu Ning'an. He placed one hand on the table, clenched his fist, and fell silent for a moment before speaking. "Mr. Gu, who exactly are you?" Gu Ning'an smiled. "Who else could I be? Just a fortune teller." "Mr. Gu, let's not beat around the bush..." Jiang Wanzhou slammed the long…-

Chapter 147: Ideal Dream
Looking at his old friend's weathered face, the traveling merchant couldn’t help but feel a pang in his chest. He sniffed and forced a smile. “If you’re afraid of waking up, then don’t. At least there’s a wish to hold onto for a lifetime.” “Goodbye.” With those two words, the merchant turned and walked away briskly, not looking back. Han Yong stood still, lost in thought for a long while. “A wish to hold onto, huh? ...But do I just let the answer right before my eyes slip…-

“It’s fine. You two go to the town and rest; I’ll come find you later.” With that, Gu Ning’an took out fifty copper coins, stuffed them into the old boatman’s hand, and smiled. “Thank you.” The old boatman, overjoyed, pocketed the coins and grabbed his oar. With a strong push against the shore, the wooden boat slowly drifted away. “Ah...” Just as Han Yong opened his mouth, the traveling merchant clamped a hand over it. “What are you ‘ah’-ing about? Now that he’s gone, you…
