After entering the inner city, Shen Qing casually returned to the inn where he usually stayed.
As usual, he called Shen Xiaohu and ordered some random food.
Since they had a hearty meal at noon, neither of them was very hungry come evening.
As the number of guests in the main hall dwindled, Shen Xiaohu moved his stool closer to Shen Qing and said, "Brother Qingzi, something happened."
Shen Qing picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and tossed it into his mouth, cluelessly asking, "What happened?"
"Ouyang Tie Niu died. Not long after you left, when Senior Brother Ouyang was still recovering from his injuries, he came once, donned in mourning attire, to invite our Hall Master uncle to preside over the funeral."
Shen Qing almost lost his grip on the chopsticks in his hand, exclaiming in surprise, "Ah, Ouyang Tie Niu died? We had just eaten together at noon, how could it be so soon?"
