The carriage traveled day and night without stopping. Chen Yi lifted the curtain and looked out, the branches and leaves were still lush, and through the gaps, he could see the sun, a brilliant white golden disk.
Perhaps it was because the sun was high in the sky, the mountain forest was no longer eerie, lacking any ghostly aura.
With nothing to do, Chen Yi once again unfolded the map and searched based on memory for the section of the road he was on. He saw that just a few miles ahead there was a fork; one path went down the mountain which required taking a longer route, while the other followed alongside the mountain, saving several days of travel.
There was no fog on the road, the colors of the forest were clean, and everything along the way was clear. It's better to take the shorter path.
