Cecilia Adler was scared, too, and decided to leave.
Just as she took a step, that pheasant appeared again.
Its vibrant colors were exceptionally eye-catching.
She gritted her teeth and decided to keep moving forward.
Recalling the man's warning, she found a stick and used it to probe the path as she walked.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, she discovered a raised path. She followed it for nearly another fifteen minutes.
The SPLASHING sound of running water came from ahead.
Cecilia Adler perked up her ears, identified the direction, and followed the path forward, discovering a stream.
A large school of fish swam back and forth before her eyes.
"Black carp!"
Cecilia Adler cried out in excitement.
At the market today, it wasn't just the vegetables that were expensive; the seafood was absurdly priced.
The price of bream and silver carp had nearly doubled, jumping from about half a yuan a catty to over a yuan.
Black carp had doubled outright, from one yuan to two.
