The first spring rain had just passed, brief and abrupt.
One moment, the sky was filled with thunder and lightning, the rain pouring down heavily, and the next moment, the warm sunlight brought with it fresh air, spreading all over the earth, as if the rain was a sneeze let out by a Heaven-Piercing Giant, booming in its arrival and vanishing in an instant.
On one of the roads from Pig Bay to Carano Town, a strong stallion dashed from a distance. The horse's hooves galloped rapidly along the damp earth road, crushing a beetle that had crawled out from the soil due to the spring thunder, and stepped through a puddle of water, splashing the dirty gray water onto the passersby.
"May your 'donkey' sprain its hoof and break that damned neck of yours!" the passerby cursed angrily. However, the rider had already gone far away and couldn't hear his "blessing".
