The court road was very well built, with the ground solid and smooth, surrounded by a few seemingly affluent villages.
On both sides of the road, there were occasional tea stalls for travelers to rest, where simple meals were also sold.
The men from the county across were the ones who had previously kept accounts, so the thing that killed them must be nearby.
Shuangshuang first found a relatively clean tea stall, sat down, ordered two pots of tea, a few eggs, and buns.
The items sold at the tea stall were simple, with eggs and buns being the best food available. Shuangshuang was generous with her money and ordered more, making the shopkeeper very enthusiastic.
It was not mealtime and there was no one else around, plus Shuangshuang appeared very eager and talkative, so the shopkeeper couldn't help sitting down to chat with her.
Shuangshuang's apparent enthusiasm in chatting with the shopkeeper was not due to boredom but to gather some information from him.
