"What were they doing in the middle of the night?" Xiaoguo wondered as she looked at the strange scene. Many questions were running through her mind. "Were those people waiting for someone instead of waiting to enter the city? Were they waiting for those who were draped in cloth? But what were those things that were carried out?"
Xiaoguo couldn't see very well, so she took a few more steps forward and hid in the darkness. She attempted to take a closer look in the direction of the gates.
The man, who was shouting in hysteria earlier on, was being kicked by the soldiers guarding the city gate. He seemed to be cursing at someone. He got up from where he had fallen, but was quickly kicked to the ground again. The people around him looked very calm and carried on with their own business. It seemed like this was a scene that happens quite often.
