After a day of struggles, Ye Wudao finally arrived at the small town where the stone factory was located, but by then it had already gotten dark. He had no choice but to spend the night at an inn and only with the business card in hand, he searched for the address listed on it the next day.
He found the place, but not the stone factory; however, he did come across a wood mill. Ye Wudao went up to ask, and as he had guessed, the stone factory had indeed gone out of business. Its former location had been bought and repurposed into this wood mill.
After making several inquiries, Ye Wudao finally heard some good news: the former owner of the stone factory was a local resident of the town. Once he got the former owner's address, he made his way there directly.
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
Ye Wudao arrived at an eastern house in the town, which had a fence and a papaya tree in its yard, and he shouted loudly from outside the yard.
"Woof woof woof..."
