The bunch of them cheered as they continued their journey.
The happenings by the river had caused them to become excited. However, their excitement did not last long. That was because they had to start trekking up a mountain now. The mountain was very steep. After passing the mountain, however, the customs would be near.
There was a road in the mountains. Like all mountain roads, it was rugged and was even muddier after the rain.
Someone had prepared in advance for that. There were rocks of different sizes placed on the road. That helped make walking over the muddy patch easier. However, the path was very steep and they had to ride on it very carefully.
Such paths were uninteresting. Li Du had traveled far and wide for many years, and he had been to many places. Typically, mountains with poor road conditions would be accompanied by breathtaking scenery.
