Chapter 157: A Decision Made
Knock knock knock! A soft knock sounded on the door. “Master Gu, are you still awake?” Hearing Han Yong’s voice outside, Gu Ning’an, who had been toying with the newly formed strand of Worldly Qi in his hand, revealed a look of “as expected.” Earlier, as he was about to sleep, a strand of Worldly Qi belonging to the traveling merchant suddenly appeared. Through this Worldly Qi, he saw the conversation between the merchant and Han Yong. Learning that the merchant was deliberately stalling…-

As the song ended, the young actor on stage had just made his curtain call gesture. Standing at the front of the stage, Gu Ning'an and Mu Sheng each placed their "theater money." Upon seeing the few dozen copper coins on the rain-drenched stage, the young actor froze for a moment. He picked up the coins and smiled at Gu Ning'an and Mu Sheng, saying, "Gentlemen, I’ve sung The Romance of the Western Chamber halfway, and you only just arrived. Why don’t you take back half of this money?" "It's not…

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…-

Chapter 15: Mutton Stew
"Rattle-drum?"Zheng De picked up a rattle-drum, turning it in his hands as he murmured, "What’s so special about that to deserve thanks?""But then again, I should thank you, sir.""If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten paid for these rattle-drums.""Thank me? Weren’t you the one who helped me land a customer?" Gu Ning’an chuckled as he stood up, casually brushing off his robe. "It’s only fair we help each other.""Exactly, exactly!""My mother always said, ‘When you see someone in…-

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…
