Bab 35: Chapter 35: Inquiring about Fish and Shrimp

From afar, Yang Chuxia saw a large platform at the junction of the beach and the shallows. Various amulets hung on it. In the middle of the platform was an image of a creature with a dragon's head and a fish's body. Directly in front of the image was a long wooden table, topped with a large incense burner. On either side of the burner was an array of fruits, pastries, and other items.

In front of the table, five women were kneeling. From a distance, Yang Chuxia couldn't make out their faces, but they were all wearing red auspicious dresses, their heads bowed and their shoulders slightly moving — perhaps they were crying.

To the left of the women were a few men dressed as fishermen. They were likely the buyers of these sea maidens.

However, she didn't see the so-called Lord Sacrificer. Maybe it wasn't time for his appearance yet.

She then strolled around the beach market with Ms. Wang and others, finding quite a few stalls selling small items.
