Looking at the flickering lights ahead, the people on the boat finally let out a sigh of relief.
They're almost there.
"Light all the torches, do not let your guard down even if we have not yet reached the shore!"
"Yes!"
The torches on both sides of the boat were lit, standing out starkly on the dark river surface.
"They're coming!"
Eagle-eyed individuals on the dock saw the sudden sparks on the river and their faces filled with excitement.
They're back!
"Get ready, as soon as they dock, get on and get the grain, we need to move everything back to town as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!"
Everyone's hearts were filled with nervous excitement as the lights on the river drew closer and closer.
The town was on the brink of running out of food.
Fortunately, they made it back in time.
The surface of the river was calm, but turbulent currents lurked beneath.
The sound of flowing water and the froth blossoming at the boat's stern.
"Almost there."
