Huddled in the narrow compartment of a horse-drawn carriage, Hu Dafu trembled as he clutched the protective charm tightly. His anxiety had caused cold sweat to bead on his forehead, and his legs shook restlessly.
Suddenly, he thought he heard some unusual noise outside, which scared him into hurriedly drawing back the carriage curtain.
Summoning his courage, he stuck his head out and looked toward Guyue Village.
In an instant, he felt his entire body go weak with shock!
Within his field of vision, he seemed to see one after another wraithlike specter hovering over Guyue Village. The specters appeared so vivid in his eyes.
He even recognized many familiar faces among them, faces that time should have erased.
But now, seeing them again...
Memories from a decade or two past resurfaced in his mind, memories he couldn't dismiss no matter how hard he tried.
Outside the carriage.
