News of the River God ceremony at Yixing Town spread rapidly to the surrounding areas, and many outsiders, ignoring the need to repair their broken roofs, took out a couple of copper coins and hurriedly climbed onto carts.

The roof could always be fixed later; a day more in the rain wouldn't hurt.

To miss the River God ceremony meant an uncertain wait for the next chance to taste Water Beast meat.
