Having found the path they needed to take, Shiba and Feyra walked based on the map, hoping they wouldn't get lost.
They turned around corners, finding themselves getting closer to the outskirts again. However, this time, they weren't in the outskirts where they had found Xiao and Lihua.
The outskirts in front of them had some feeble scholars and people who didn't wish to live directly in the city. Some older men walked around, upholding their way of walking from the time they had been in the palace or around it.
"Look, there is an apothecary," Feyra said, pointing at a small house. It was made of wood and had some windows. People went in and out.
The person that came out behind them wore a long coat, waving after the person. The man was already getting on in age and his right arm was slacking a little.
This man... His right arm had some accident or even... A stroke... It's not working properly anymore... I just hope he isn't having a stroke at this moment.
