Wufu was not aware that she had been judged and talked about, and even if she did know, she would not care, as she was never one to concern herself with the opinions of others.
After leaving the Hundred Treasures Silver Building, she first went to the Cloth Shop to get two lengths of fine cloth as instructed by Madam Zhou and bought some pastries as well. She then left the town, and following directions given by passersby, she made her way towards Old Man Shen's house.
Old Man Shen's house was in South Town Village. It would take a little over a Shichen to walk there from the town. Wufu ran there just as she had done before, and in less than a Shichen, she arrived at the archway of South Town Village.
The archway, constructed at an unknown time, bore the characters for "South Town" in red paint that had peeled off, leaving them blurry. The tall pillars were also flaking, showing the age of the archway.
