章節 223: 107 That Year (First Watch)

Siji Town at the foot of Baitou Mountain has a simple and honest folk customs.

There are several dozen big and small villages surrounding Siji Town, where the people live and work in peace and contentment.

A restaurant called the Fat Chef is the best and most luxurious one in the town. In the evening, there are few patrons inside; the proprietress sits behind the counter, playing a mobile phone game.

Two men walk in. The proprietress looks up and sees their suits. They don't seem like locals, so she figures they're from the big city, and she hurriedly greets them with enthusiasm.

"Please come in! What would you like to eat? Our house specialty is red bean stewed fish... "

As the proprietress introduces the dishes and pours tea for the two men, they display serious expressions and don't smile. Rather, they appear unapproachable; she tries her best to be extra cautious as she serves them.
