Along the ancient road, in a small tea shop, a few passersby sat scattered around the table, drinking water to quench their thirst and eating meat to appease their hunger.
The wheels rolled and a group of horse carriages stopped by the side of the road. Several brightly dressed youths alighted from the carriages. Compared to the filthy or even shabbily dressed passersby, the brightly dressed and handsome youths were rather eye-catching.
"My esteemed guests, what would you like to order?" The waiter of the tea shop asked eagerly.
"Just get us something to eat and some tea." A slightly thin youth said as he followed his companions to sit down on a stool.
It was just the start of summer and the weather was hot. The tea shop was half open to the sun and the scorching temperature made one's mouth feel parched.
"The weather is so hot ….. I'm suddenly starting to miss the cool weather from before." Qiao Chu said as he leaned over the table. The high temperature seemed to be evaporating all the water on his body. They had not left the Heaven's End Cliff for a year and the cold at the bottom of the cliff made it hard for them to tell the seasons apart.
Jun Wu Xie sat opposite Qiao Chu. In order to make it easier to travel, she was dressed as a youth again, but her face was no longer concealed.
"Why do I feel that something is not right?" Fei Yan asked as he looked at the other people in the tea shop. He was surprised to find that the clothes of the people were all filthy and not a single one of them was in one piece.
Although they had just left the Heaven's End Cliff not long ago and this stretch of road was rather remote, they had noticed that there were some villages nearby and although they were not as prosperous as the cities, they were still clean and tidy.
But it had only been a year and the people here seemed to have changed.
The faces of the passersby were haggard and their expressions were numb with a trace of nervousness. If Fei Yan had to describe them, he would think that they looked more like a group of refugees.
"Maybe there's a famine." Fan Zhuo said with a sigh.
The waiter had just brought up some food and when he heard Fan Zhuo's words, the waiter seemed to perk up as he looked at the group and said:
"Esteemed guests, you are not locals right?"
"Why do you think so?" Fei Yan asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Haha, we are not suffering from a famine. Esteemed guests do not know the situation here?" The waiter said with a smile.
"Oh? What's the situation here? "Fei Yan asked curiously.
"This year, the world has been in chaos. Not to mention our remote place, our lives are not easy. Even the situation between the big countries is not much better. I see that you are all dressed neatly and do not look like you are refugees. Looking at the direction you are walking in, it seems that you are going to the east. If you believe me, then don't go. During this period of time, the world is not peaceful. Although this place of ours is remote, it is still relatively safe. If we go further east, we will reach the borders of various countries, and there will be big trouble. " The waiter saw that Jun Xie and his companions came from extraordinary backgrounds and he wanted to fish up a little more profit, hence he said a few more words.
Jun Wu Xie frowned slightly. "The world is in chaos?"
"That's right. Don't you know? It's been like this since a year ago. There are battles everywhere, and there are refugees running for their lives everywhere. Look at these people, they escaped from the east. That's not a good place to go. In the past, everyone was envious of the richness of the city, but now, it's a place where everyone wants to escape. Since you guys don't know about these things, why don't you just go back? "
