Back Mountain Village is only separated from Taiping Town by a not-so-tall mountain; following the edge of the mountain and walking for three or four miles, one arrives at the town.
Taiping Town is not large, but it's quite lively. A Bear River runs through the middle of the town, with marketplaces on both banks, and a big market every five days. Because there are often boats passing through, there are always some vendors setting up stalls on ordinary market days.
Pei Qin wasn't lucky; she had just missed the market day.
Since it was deep autumn, the weather was gradually getting colder, and there weren't many people in the market.
From her memories, the original owner of her body had been to the town. Pei Qin looked around and followed the riverbank on one side, walking and observing.
There were only the occasional vendors, but the shops were all open. There were clothing stores, silver shops, tea houses, and restaurants—quite complete.
