บท 246: Beauty in White

Two days later, in Baywater Town in the southwest of Wu Province…

At noon, the gloomy sky cast shadows on the buildings in the old town, turning the town gray. It looked like dawn or dusk.

Baywater Town was located along the Wu River and was not very big. But because the Wuxi Canal intersected with the Wu River upstream, there were many ships coming and going on the river. There were often small pharmaceutical merchants and people of Jianghu docking here.

There was only one old street from the west to the east in the town. Along the two sides of the street were inns and wine shops, and the streets were full of herb farmers with stalls.

Compared to the bustle of other places, an inn in the center of the town was very quiet. The lobby was silent. After a few tables of diners hurriedly finished eating, they threw down their silver and left quickly.
